A rant about the re-occurring theme here..

The first comment against you has more than that. Go ages and count those up for is, and again this is not a hateful community, we just don't like being told when or if our opinions matter.

well, I guess there is a divide then as to this topic, with the majority seeing it your way... I don't care frankly, I still stand by my original point.

An that's great, I'm happy for you. But honestly i really don't think it makes sense to count up all your likes when they are literally dwarfed by the people who think you are talkin' out your arse.

they ARE NOT dwarfed... 35 to 27 ... 27 people have as much right to an opinion on this as the 35... and as I'm the protagonist, of course I'm going to get flack, I don't care really... Others are silently on the sidelines and agree.. That matters.
 
You are a very RUDE person, a newby asks for help. and you have you have to be mean and nasty? I Don't think that is what Talk Bass culture is about.
And the fact about the amount of time I have been on Talk Bass means what to me? obviously means something to you no one else seems to care! I have been playing Bass for 35 years how long have you?
 
Yeah! And I literally hate they way people use the word "literally" now. Don't you hate that? It literally started less than a year ago, and it has since become a word that literally no longer has a meaning - it is literally used only for dramatic effect.

As I am typing this, the bartender literally said it for dramatic effect (I am not pooping you here. That is the truth, and it makes me want to scream.)

It's literally a thing. A thing is a thing. It shouldn't be a thing. Amirite? I can't even.

This literally had nothing to do with OP's rant. :D

On a side note, I don't think a bass can be fairly judged unless it is set up similar to what you like. I played a new Dimension bass which was otherwise a beautiful instrument, but it wasn't set up the way I would want it, so it didn't appeal to me as much. I told myself I'd keep my J over this Dimension any day.

37 years... and you claim to know the culture here, that's why I bring it up. This place wasn't so full of bad info when I got on here... now it's full of Squire>MIA spew... gets old.

They're are 36 on the first comment. You may want to recount that figure there skip, if you want your point to be at all valid, which it's really not to begin with. Oh wait, I've only been here four months, I can't speak for the vast majority. :rollno:

the first comment is a smart arse statement, people will like it for it's humor content as much as it is a reboot of my OP. Hell, I even I wanted to like it!

Truth is, I am in the minority right now but there are enough who agree with me, that I feel I'm representing a valid view point.

And I want to say that's all well and good. But with the way you've been acting, calling out other members including myself and just being a plain arsehole in general, you are more disgruntled than anybody I've ever seen before on this site. Get over it, if you really didn't care like you've claimed, you would have unwatched this thread hours ago.
