    K-Dot Halftime Show

    My favorite part was when the whole stadium shouted out "A Minor" in unison! I'm glad Kendrick is out here teaching the kids about music theory 😁

    Reincarnated from GNX has a sick bass line. Fun to play.

    Yamaha TRBX Club @ TalkBass

    I have a 605FM and it's quickly become my favorite bass over the past year because of how it sounds and the versatility of sounds it offers. Why does it matter what other people say? That could very easily be one person's overshared opinion that other people parrot because they've heard it so...

    Here, I used the built-in YouTube AI to summarize the video:

    In praise of solid colors

    My favorite solid color is clear! Guitars and guitar-like instruments have been made out of wood without a solid color paint for centuries. All the neon and automotive colors feel distinctly modern to me. Personally, I have a deeper connection to an instrument if I can see the wood grain (not...

    Poll: The new TB. What do you think?

    Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but you can filter your homepage view to only show double bass posts and order by "last post date/descending". This is the mobile view but the desktop page should have the same options.

    So many ads

    Brave browser is great. If you use Firefox on mobile, you can get the uBlock Origin extension and it makes so many sites more usable. If you use chrome or Safari on mobile, there's not much you can do.

    Guys...This new site is just plain lousy.

    The swaths of posts with vague complaints that amount to "it's different so it's bad" are certainly frustrating, but I almost equally despise this take. People are allowed to have opinions and feelings about a website they love and use daily changing. We shouldn't all be expected to be gung ho...

    I RUINED TALKBASS BLAME ME!

    This is the sort of documentation that could be really nice to have for existing users. Not some massive manual detailing every change, but at least something pinned to the homepage that helps ease people in to the new UI. Maybe a "upgrade FAQ" to answer some of the stuff like "where do I find...

    The thread with only positive things to say about the upgrade

    It's too early - give it a week at least. Best to get feedback after users have spent some time living with the new changes, and some of the initial kinks have been worked out. Not surprising that first reactions are leaning negative since everything users were used to has moved or looks...

    Wow! This is the worst upgrade I've seen

    So there's both upvoting and likes now? Not sure I've ever seen both in the same place! Well, if we can sort threads by votes (why would you want that on a forum?), you better give us downvotes too! We need the full reddit experience (/s)

    Wow! This is the worst upgrade I've seen

    What a beautiful mobile view! 👀 There's definitely some cool new reactivity stuff going on. Nice animations and more modern components all around. But man, I haven't seen a forum look this bad on mobile in a decade. I'm sure we'll all get used to it, but hopefully this mobile styling is part of...

    Lighter gauge strings

    They're on a Yamaha trbx 605! I think the fodera strings fit that bass really well sonically. The 34" scale works great with the high C, and the pickups respond well. Went through a couple other sets before this one and they were all thicker gauge. The EB Slinky nickel set had (32) 45 65 80 100...
