If no one else takes you up on this, I would be super excited to hear about it. Please do tell!

Cool, maybe we can zero in on this difference a little. My impression is that, from OP's perspective, ghoster asking for a letter of reference with no explanation of ghosting IS waltzing back into a professional relationship, expecting it to be unchanged by the ghosting. Is it what's being...

Okay, Seanto and MordBass, you two seem to have taken up the banner of "ghosting and coming back from it to ask for something as though it never happened is reasonable," so I have some follow-up questions. I hope you won't take them as aggressive or judgmental. I'm totally just curious. You...

...Actually I can offer a second thing, which I'm always thinking in relation to my students: Why don't they just lie? In my day, when you didn't hand in your paper on time, you told your prof that your Grandma just died, or your car broke down, or your house caught on fire. If they let you...

As a prof with students who do this (and other equally baffling things) with some frequency, I am super interested in this question. I understand this: And I understand this: But they don't really go together do they? If you're confrontation/shame averse, why put yourself in the situation...

I feel like getting Taylor Swift and Slayer together is a Yahtzee. :D

Sycamore Trees (Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me OST) - Angelo Badalamenti Modern World - The Bad Light All Night Long (Instrumental version) - Junior Kimbrough New Orleans Heavy Swamp Blues (mp3 rip from youtube) - Justin Johnson Tired Old Dog - The Devil and the Almighty Blues ...I thought I was...

Doom is basically rehashing Black Sabbath with various twists (tuned down, slowed down, more fuzz...). Death is usually faster, less melodic, and less attached to blues riffs. It's also broader and vaguer as a category. (Sorry. At least I kept it short?)

...also, I vote prusik.

I've listened to my fair share of Slipknot. They're really good at writing riffs that feel asymmetrical, as though accumulating potential energy with every repetition. I drifted away several years ago, but I continue to go back again and again for one song: Iowa. I can't think of another song...

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is about professional organizations and state regulations that attempt to guarantee a level of quality and expertise. This doesn't mean there aren't people without professional credentials who might be just as good or better than a lisenced professional, nor...

No wait... The dead fish goes in the toilet, the guitar goes on eBay! Whew. That was close.

I mostly listen to wicked sweet awesome good music and occasionally I dabble in terrific amazing awesome good music, but I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone listens to fantastic fabulous terrific good music or superior outstanding great good music or anything like that. I...

Correct sound custom beta? Correct Sound Custom tube beta hybrid Mk-II

Luthier: "Do you think maybe racing stripes would be overdoing it a little?" Unhelpful friend: "No WAY bro! So far this bass is BOooRING!"

This guitarist is obviously a terrible person and you should definitely be rid of him as quickly as possible. Also, could you PM me his contact info? I have to talk to him about... Uh... Something else...

IME, Lower + slower + more dirt = \m/ Bass helps with the first bit.

+1 B=yellow. Obviously this extremely important topic needs to be addressed scientifically using at least 7 talkbass polls.

:eek:!!!

This probably doesn't count as a bass line or a riff, huh? I mean, there is a bass in there somewhere, I swear...

There's a joke in here about my bass having a strap on it, but I'll leave it to someone else to work out the details.

Hi All! I am interested in producing a distorted sound best represented by the clips below (clips linked to good isolated tones) and wondered if anyone had any advice on gear (or technique?) that might be useful: If I were to try to describe this sound (which I'm probably bad at), I would...

To distill from the above: Who does the inner 14 year old of your average audience member wish they could be/sleep with? Dress like that guy/gal. (...or ironically poke fun at same.)

hm... What have y'all maybe not heard yet...?

The bit from Such Hawks Such Hounds on Sleep is pretty funny (and somewhat on point): ;)

IME The tone on a fully cranked ODB-3 is pretty great, especially for the $$$, but to be clear it IS a noisy pedal... Lots of humming and buzzing ALL the time... So keep in mind the extra cost of something to gate it. YMMV.

Totally enjoying this little history lesson. All I can offer is this (which I have to say is so far beyond awesome that I get a nose bleed every time I think about it): Cities of Darkscorch - Board Game [Numero Group]

THIS is the trick. None of this "honesty" nonsense. When my wife asks me if I'm okay with her mom visiting for the weekend, I tell her that would be delightful. When I ask her why she's looking at me like a turd she just stepped in, I would very much like her to say, "Nothing... Just...

This is a great listen and contains a lovely argument that a certain kind of corniness should be celebrated and maximized, at least within the subgenre of the torch song: Break-Up - This American Life

Someone mentioned overthinking things. That's the #1 way I get my dopamine. If it doesn't work for you, I encourage you to stop reading now. I'm gonna refer to Thoughty2 here, because I tend to agree that his analysis is deeper and more interesting, and I despise the "we should all just...

Bass: Bend over. Me: Wait, can't we... Bass: I SAID BEND OVER!!!

So far, Fender j tuned bead => mxr bass distortion => malekko b:assmaster => tech 21 VT bass character => fender rumble Is my preferred way to grind my face off when the wife n kids aren't around. But I'm just getting started.

What ever happened to good old-fashioned compensating for a small- Oh. I guess maybe that's covered under #2. I'll take #2 please. Final answer.

Pls count 1 vote for Al Cisneros.

Welcome to the party Ellery! ...But it's still just me. Lame party right? Yes, all my rhetoric has been very explicitly aimed at myself, the headbanger who I am jabbing at. I may cut you, but I have no desire to escape the knife. I have all the tendies in the world for you sigterm. The...

Sorry again sigterm! As the only person who has posted any kind of science-related material in this thread, and the person who posted immediately before you, I may have jumped to conclusions. But it's true, like everyone, I love feel good science that validates me and makes my counterparties...

Sorry jazz bro, I totally didn't mean to impugn your morality or question your romantic fidelity. <3

...but if, as the research suggests, liking metal has a strong correlation to low self-esteem and feelings of maladjustment (which is scientist-speak for "I feel fundamentally different from 'normal' people and that is often frustrating and painful"), then a lot of metalheads will be very...

So, what you're saying is... This is wrong: :D

The tone on that song is what made me pick up my bass again after 15 years. I want to paint the entire world in that sound.
