Talk:List of bass guitar manufacturers

As useless as most Lists

This collection is neither comprehensive nor representative. Compare:

http://beautifulguitars.net/guitar-makers-a-z/ — incomplete (no Washburn or Aslin Dane, for example), but includes many established luthieries
https://www.guitar-list.com/allgear — bulked up by manufacturers of amps/effects/parts, but extensive: includes not only Aslin Dane but Switch Music

Some of the included names ARE NOT manufacturers, but rather brand names that entirely outsource production.

Well, I tried to make it more representative like guitar-list, and my changes keep getting kicked back. My first wikipedia editing process and it's failed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schklerg (talk • contribs) 19:27, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a directory - you need to keep to manufacturers who already have their own Wikipedia article - as per the list that your edits keep being reverted to - Arjayay (talk) 19:54, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with that is there are many pages where wikipedia is most definitely a directory and the guidelines that you reference are not consistently adhered to. This makes it very frustrating for those of us trying to help and add to the useful content on the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schklerg (talk • contribs) 20:18, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest renaming it to "List of notable bass guitar manufacturers", so that contributors can understand what is accepted. Maproom (talk) 21:31, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amended second sentence of article to make clear that these are guitar manufacturers with Wikipedia articles. David notMD (talk) 09:06, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
