    Over 20 Years on TalkBass – How About You? 🎸

    I've been a happy supporting member of TalkBass for over 20 years now! It's been such a valuable resource for learning, connecting with other bassists, and generally geeking out over gear. I'm curious: how long have you been a member? What have been the biggest benefits or drawbacks from your...

    I Learned Better When I Had No Money (& No Internet)

    So, I have been doing some remedial exercises recently and having more trouble with them than I really should be for a player of my age and experience. It got me thinking; I used to pick things up so much quicker when I was younger. I think this is in part to not having as many distractions such...

    NBD - FrankenJazz, TalkBass Edition

    I'll try to make this long story short. I wanted a Jazz Bass in Lake Placid Blue. I started checking TalkBass more frequently, and all of the parts I wanted magically appeared within a few weeks. This place really is an amazing resource. Here's what I did: 1. Bought a Squier Classic Vibe...

    How often do you visit TB?

    Lately I've found myself visiting TB more than any other web site - news, ads, architecture, or actually any other. I found it very relaxing and informative, often educational and most importantly no BS (most of the time), so it has taken over the top spot from YT. How often do you visit TB...

    Help satisfy the cat-like curiosity of bassists around the world and cast your top three choices. This poll is purely scientific in nature and will not be used for political gain or much of anything else. This thread is something of a broom handle, being a pointless poll.

    Is TalkBass as cool as it used to be?

    I recently listened to a bass-related podcast where a couple of bass players got on the subject of TalkBass. The general consensus of the conversation seemed to be that TB was preferable "back in the day." Granted, that was just their opinions, but they don't come here much anymore (except for...

    Where were you when it happened?

    They say there are moments in life so dramatic, so defining that you never forget where you were when it happened. The JFK assassination. 9/11. I remember it like it was just last Sunday... I was procrastinating when I reached for my phone to perhaps re-read a Dr. Cheese bass review or...

    What do you do on TB?

    I just want to know because some people are on here for hours in a day. How do you do that? I go through my notifications and then go on trending for a bit but that soon gets boring. What do you do when you log in to TB?

    What's your favorite reason for coming to TalkBass?

    I discovered TalkBass a couple of years ago when I was looking for a Genzler Magellan 800 (great amp!). I purchased it from the TB store. I eventually started clicking around and found the Classifieds section. As someone who was tired of the eBay and Reverb fees I was paying, not to mention all...

    Effects of COVID-19 on Talkbass

    In the media, there is a general perception that, since COVID-19 hit, people dedicate more time on stay at home activities and especially online activities. I wonder if Talkbass has registered an increase in membership since March 2020? Is there more activity on Talkbass (i.e. more threads...

    When you come to TalkBass, where do you start?

    I've been on TB for a year and a half now. When I come to this site, I typically look at the trending topics and the classifieds. I sometimes look at the 'New Posts' tab, but it's kind of similar to the trending subjects on the main page. It's weird, I never seem to see the newly started...

    edits to your TalkBass comments

    Hi there, TB'ers! Question for anyone who can provide an answer -- when you opt to make an edit to one of your previous comments on TalkBass, does the omment then contain the word "EDIT:" before your edited response? It's probably been the way since the dawn of TalkBass, but I really noticed...

    I've just discovered that I've got a second bogus Talkbass account. It definitely wasn't created by me. The day the user joined Talkbass I didn't have access to a computer. The account's only thread post talks about rockabilly, which I don't play. The account is 10 years old, so...

    Whatever happened to the talkbass podcast?

    I remember about a decade ago there was a TB podcast, hosted by I think an Australian dude. It was good and I miss it. Are there any podcasts that might get considered the spiritual successor to the old TB podcast?

    TalkBass heresy: is anyone else not impressed by gigantic gear collections?

    I never speak up in threads where members post pix of walls of gear, whether basses, amps and cabs, or vintage gear. But I personally dislike having more stuff than I can use often, since I feel that other people could be enjoying the actual use of the gear rather than me feeling whatever...
