Does anyone else ever get like this? Much as I love TB, and find it genuinely interesting/helpful/amusing/informative etc etc etc most of the time, every now and again I just get this black despair descend on me whilst browsing the forums. I just feel myself losing the will to live, the endless repeated threads about the same topics (Sadowsky... blah, blah... best strings for fretless... blah, blah... wiring help on J bass... 410 or 212+115... blah, blah.... Fieldy... blah, blah... help me choose a new pickguard....) seem to suck away my ability to face another post, and I start the proverbial wailing and gnashing of teeth... please... help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... 
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing the matter with any of the topics I mentioned, and I'm as guilty as most of retreading old ground (as a quick run through my posting history will confirm). I'd just like to know that I'm not the only one who gets gripped by threadphobia every now and again.
Right. That's it. I'm going to play my bass now. 
...see you all tomorrow?

Well maybe not yet, I need to browse the threads first. |

You joined in March of '05....just think about those of us who have been around for 4 or 5 years or longer!!!   I am able to empathize with you, but to cure what you feel is the stagnation/repitition on the boards, try thinking about what really interests you about bass playing, bassists, questions you've always wondered about, etc. Start your own threads in an attempt to make things more interesting for yourself AND to combat the threads that are just retreads from last year...which were repeats from 2 years before that!
If that doesn't work, just stick with threads started by NONSQTR...he seems to start some of the more interesting threads in the "Off Topic" forum.

I am going through this right now. If I see another post about "help me plug my bass into the computer/Dream Theater sucks/how many ohms in a flux capacitor/how will my cab sound with the new behringer head/what kind of recording setup should I buy" I swear I'm gonna pick up a guitar. |

Please don't take anything I said above as being serious. I actually like TB a lot... just wish people would use the search function a bit more.
Anyway, to start something of interest to me as you suggest - what do you all think of the late great Bernard Edwards? Doesn't seem to get mentioned much round here.
BTW, the way it is now "tomorrow" over here in the UK, so I haven't compromised my original post. Well, not that much.

It really shouldn't get boring IMO unless you are just spending way too much time on here. |
