Definitely explore it further. As we get older (you and me both, btw) it's a good idea to keep your brain active and explore new concepts. Going down the same old trail every day is probably not the best idea. You can learn one step at a time with this recording software - learn a task or a...

As someone who plays guitar as much as I do bass, I bought (so far) a couple of used guitars (both Yamaha) in order that I have alternate tunings that are ready to go. I have a DAEGAD and the other has the low E string removed and the rest of the strings tuned to a G chord like Ry Cooder or...

He seemed to be having a dispute with Killing Floor... Post 59 was way too harsh for me and likewise too serious, although there are definitely some points to consider. My childhood was in the UK, and Christmas seems gentler and less controversial there, more about Father Christmas and children...

I think there are many of us who don't like Christmas music as a seasonal event yet can acknowledge the great music of the genre that was written and performed. Bach's "Christmas Oratorio," Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker," Nat King Cole's performance of "The Christmas Song," come to mind, heck...

Have you done a qualitative survey of the Pollyannas of the world, just curious... (Surprised how serious and personal you have made this rather light subject. It isn't a matter for offense, is it?)

Yes, indeed. Love all the other stuff: lights, tree, Santa, gifts - but no music, please! The worst Christmas song ever? Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen. I guess it's supposed to be cute, a novelty and ironic, but it is horribly predictable and unpleasant. -Grinch

It doesn't need to have a tube.

You can get an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro bass on ZZounds right now for 12 interest-free payments of $62.42. That's like saving up to buy one, but actually owning it the whole time you are saving.

Paul McCartney, LA Forum, 1976, which was supposedly where they got a lot of the cuts for Wings Over America live album. But you can't tell which cuts, so it doesn't really connect for me. They call it the KIA Forum now. :laugh:

Both spellings are correct unless this site is only restricted to the United States.

I'm done now.

Then I got down to the really important stuff.... ME: Please search talkbass.com and tell me which color pickguard is considered optimal... ChatGPT In the bass guitar community, the choice of pickguard color is largely a matter of personal preference and is often dependent on the color of the...

Then I suggested it search talkbass.com and it spent a couple of minutes scouring this very website.... ME: Maybe talkbass.com would be a good site to research? ChatGPT After conducting a thorough search, including on forums like TalkBass, it appears that there isn't a consolidated list or...

For this next question CHATGPT spent a couple of minutes and searched using Bing for negative bass pedal reviews, and searched many sites including guitar lobby, ultimate-guitar and.... Sweetwater, ha ha. Yes, it now lists the places that it searches as it is doing the search. The disappointing...

ME: The high quality and no-expense-spared bass pedal board you built me seems to use mostly very common units by major manufacturers. Can you search more deeply for quality including more obscure brand names? (CHATGPT took a long time to generate the answer, about a minute, and it displayed...
