Why do people who don't like effects insist on posting in here?

[JimmyM]

Honest to God, I don't understand it. At least once a week, some douchebag comes into the effects forum with the sole intent of telling everyone they don't like effects and how we shouldn't be using effects because they don't like them. I just had to put some yahoo in his place a few moments ago, as a matter of fact. They say really stupid stuff like "That's not what bass is about," or my personal favorite idiotic statement of all time, "Effects are for covering up a lack of talent." What the hell is wrong with these people? Who made them king of all that is bass? Tell you what, Mr. Effects-cover-up-a-lack-of-talent...I'll somke your ass with or without effects. And if I can't, I'm sure guys like Justin Meldal-Johnsen, John Davis, Marcus Miller, Dave LaRue, or Victor Wooten will.

So here's some advice if you're one of these people and you're tempted to post some stupid drivel like that...nobody cares what you think, so shut up and go away.

Yeah, OK, I haven't been sleeping well and I'm a little cranky. You shut up, too!

Lol of all the people who could have made a sarcastic comment like that one, it's the guy who created one of the greatest filter pedals ever

If I were younger, I'd offer you a tampon.

I feel this is the best post you have ever made.

I can't answer this, but every time someone comes in here and spews the anti-FX BS makes me want to ducktape them to a SVT on ten, plug about 5 fuzzes in on ten and blast them with feedback intill they loose their hearing. Really that is how I feel on the subject... next..

Thank you, Muddy. I rank this well below my recent DEVO returns thread but I'm glad I connected with you. Hope I connect to the douches, too.

Maybe, but I don't go out of FX anymore, I hope you connect with them as well

[Captain_Arrrg]

Isn't the point of the internet to connect with those you disagree with so you can tell them how stupid they are? Or am I missing something?

[Mudfuzz]

Only if you laugh at them while and after you do, the internet is suppose to be fun!

[Marton]

I didn't really read the thread, but I agree with you that "Effects are for covering up a lack of talent".

[capnsandwich]

Would it help if a bass tone purist, such as myself, comes in this forum and gets effects GAS? That's why I stay out of this place and only dabble when Jimmy M starts a new thread.

I recommend you get a pedal for that. Then when it comes out in a different color you should get that one too

If I were single that would be a great idea.

I understand how you feel, JimmyM. some picky jerk once criticized my bass sound when I was doing a gig. and it all because I use effects on bass. soon this guy started lecturing me on how a bass should sound. and he just kept going on and on and on about how a bass should sound and he just wouldn't shut up about it. and if that wasn't bad enough, he actually has the nerve to give me gear advise. I mean if I use different bass gear and I'm not satisfied with it, what's the point?...seriously, this guy was being picky about my bass sound. I'll admit I was dishearten that night, but I got over it. I just hope I don't run into that guy again. anyway, that guy is probably like the guys you were describing that don't like effects on bass.

[BigOldHarry]

Well, one *could* make the case that some folks spend more money & time on fx than they do on learning their instrument...

[phatbass]

Effects are a way a of covering up a lack of not using effects.

So there!
