    Best Line from Spinal Tap?

    Every time I watch it, it seems like I find a new "favourite" moment that I hadn't really latched onto in previous viewings. It's such a brilliant movie it's easy to forget about the little gems littered throughout. One of my favourite parts is where David is talking about an act that came on...

    Why So Nasty? — TB Etiquette

    Unfortunately I don't post enough here to have an opinion on the tone of this forum. But I will say, I love learning new things (software, languages, instruments, martial arts, etc) and one of the best ways to learn obviously is to talk to people who know, either online or in person. And...

    Repetitive but good bass lines

    Pretty simple and repetitive but I always loved it

    CDs Are Dying Three Times as Fast as Vinyl Is Growing

    I gave the vinyl thing a try a year ago - I bought an Audio-Technica LP120 and went down to the local record store and picked up some classic albums. I can understand the appeal, but it just wasn't for me. I just hate handling records and going through the hassle, when I can just load up my...

    WOW! I love to help out my fellow man, but is this too much?

    There's no way that isn't a joke lol. Whoever put that up has a great sense of humour

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    Thanks for the advice all, I saw it on Saturday and I'm going to buy it tonight. Sounded great, at least to my ears. When the guy got it, it was in 3 pieces. Local luthier put it back together and restored it.

    R.I.P. Vinnie Paul - Pantera

    So sad. Pantera will always stand out as the greatest metal band ever for me.

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    Ok perfect, I couldn't see what you were talking about. Glad to hear it's ok. Will meet with seller on Saturday and will probably buy if it feels good

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    I wish I did know someone but unfortunately I don't, just fellow electric players like myself.

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    I'm in Newfoundland, Canada. I scroll the used instrument classifieds almost daily and it's very rare to see a upright bass pop up. Last one was 2 years ago or so, and it was a beat up Stentor rockabilly one. The seller is asking $2000 Canadian. Apparently it's been fully restored by a local...

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    Heading over there tonight to look at it. Anything I should be looking for, even tonal wise? I'm a double bass n00b

    Double Bass Need advice on this potential purchase

    I've been fiending for a double bass for years, but I live in a small island where very few pop up, and shipping to here would be substantial. Just saw this one pop up. They don't know who made the bass. Any idea on what it is or if that's a fair price? Should I take the plunge? What I...

    Songs that are ruined by annoying or stupid parts or solos

    The rap break in Havana by Camila Cabello could be the worst in history IMO. It's such a catchy tune and that Young Thug guy just reaches down and pulls the hand break when he starts rapping.

    I have to be honest about ‘mint’ basses...

    Some minor blemishes are fine, but if I'm buying a bass from someone I want to know that they took pride in their ownership, and if it's beat to hell it's a real turn off.
