So, let's see what we think the more frequently asked questions are that either:

- Are prohibited by Talkbass rules, or
- Can be answered with a simple search

I'm sure you will be able to offer many that I didn't think of!

CHECK AS MANY AS YOU WISH!

Can we just lump all the damned silly "Why all the hate for (brand of bass or amp I like)" threads into one category? 'Cause there's a **** ton of them.

This one's been coming up lately.

What's the deal with carrots?

Of course the answer is unless you have more than 10,000 posts and have been around since ***** was a carpenter; you're not allowed to know. I don't know,...I've dealt with it emotionally and moved on.

Frequenters of the FX subforum should vouch this one comes up at least once a week.

How can I get/What FX pedal is Chris Wolstenholme/Justin Chancellor/Tim Commerford tone/using on insert Muse/Tool/RATM song here. Okay maybe not Timmy C so much anymore

And the answer here is OMGZ DO A SEARCH NOOB
