commonly referred to by TBer's?

[uethanian]

so out of curiosity and nothing better to do, i created a poll to see what you think is the most referred to thing on TB. there's a lot more, but these are ones that really get to me.

1. dream theater (good band, but why so talked about)
2. carrots (i dnno either)
3. fender P being the one and only bass (...great)
4. dyslexics (cruel jokes)

[saxnbass]

Carrots. Every poll has them and almost all threads mention them.

Ah, and it's great that all the new guys always ask about carrots, but don't understand them. It's a funny story really, but I won't tell.

[Deacon_Blues]

Carrots is #1.

Second place would go to Fender, and the third place would be shared between the bassists Wooten, Jaco and Jamerson.

[Ryan L.]

The carrots thing started waaayyyy back in the day. Probably in around 01 or 02.

[anderbass]

I voted Lesdyxic.






Umm... actually I meant to say dyslexic...

[WarriorJoe7]

Well I just did a search on carrots and it maxes out the search (400 is max)

but I did this search for first mentions of carrots... I am sure it's somewhere in one of these first few threads...

Maybe I haven't read enough threads, but I think that Rush is even more popular.

[Hoover Johnson]

Don't forget the all-so-important guitarist-bashing. This is surely the most discussed thing on Talkbass
