"Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?"

Eric Lindsherr/Magneto in "X-Men" said that famous line. It does remind me a bit of bass guitar discussions.

"Should I quit my band?" If you're asking, you probably should.

"Should I found my own band?" Again, you probably should, especially if you asked the previous question.

"My band fired me out of the blue at the top of our game. Was there a reason or are they just jerks?" Hey, "if ain't broke, don't fix it" applies to performance too, so they're most likely jerks.

"Will people get upset if I use a pick?" Only those on Talkbass.

"What's the best bass/amp/pedal/strings for praise and worship?" Whatever you want to use or already have.

"Why are Yellow Freight trucks orange?" They are orange because the guy who founded Yellow Freight wanted the safest trucks on the road. He was also friends with JJ DuPont, whom he asked "What color is visible from the farthest distance away?" DuPont said "That's easy. Swamp Hollow Orange." (Well, you may or may not have known that.)

"Am I too old to rock out?" Not according to Tony Iommi, Charlie Watts, BB King, Chuck Berry, Leonard Cohen, Jimmy Page, or Brian May.

"Is craigslist a good place to find band members?" Well, in theory it is....

"Is this thread supposed to be funny?" Actually, yeah, it is.

Will you get crucified for asking about fake Fender decals? Indeed you will.

Should he go out with her? Probably not.

Is micromanaging your kid's band a good idea? Nope.

If you ask the internet for advice... then expect a "yes" generally speaking...

Are Alembics worth the money?
I keep blowing my cabs do you think my amp head is too powerful?
Am I too old to learn bass?

I had an attorney tell me that a good attorney never asks a question that he doesn't already know the answer to. In that context, at least, I tend to believe it.

Lol especially with all the already asked questions. You want someone's opinion, it's been asked. Google: life's search feature

I'm a teacher. It's my job to ask questions to which I know the answer...mostly.

Sure. Go for it. After all, it worked so well for Mick Fleetwood.

"Why do people like those atrocious looking relics? Are these people just hipsters trying to look cool?"

"Why is everyone so pissed off, now?"
