Fender Rumble Club

My advice is not to take advice from guitar players who think a floating bridge is called a tremolo & refer to the timbre of an instrument as tone.
The "tone knob" on most guitars & basess is used to cut treble tones from the timbre, which is comprised of many tones.
Yep now that you mention it . Your exactly right sir. As I sit here and really think about it the reply I've gotten most from guitarist is I don't know I'll just turn up and see if that helps!! That's why it's always better to ask a Bassist. You get the truth and nothing but the truth.

I have an issue with one of our geetar players in the band I am with, "him thinks him is an expert about tube amps".. he may know a bit, more than me, but I can already tell that all of his information is kinda jumbled!

I'm a member of a few guitar player groups & the term "tone suck" gets thrown around WAY too much IMHO.

Hey, I'm a Rumble 500 combo and 100 combo owner.....V3.
Can I get in this club :).
I have questions from time to time and I'd like to get in here!!!

I think there are some requirements you need to meet before you can become a real member.

Let's start with pics of your girlfriend or wife!
 
I'm realizing, at this moment, why people use "Significant Other".

It takes all kinds to run this world, and not all of us are married, and not all of us are married to the opposite gender.

That just seems like a strange greeting to a new person, especially if they don't fit into the same box as most of us.

As a rule, I keep S.O.s out of the conversation, because nothing riles a person up like a compromising view about their partner.

I even think twice before posting about family at all.

Recently a guy tried to insult me on a guitar forum, something about me not taking care of my wife. That said more about him than it did me, since he had no idea that I am perpetually single.
 
Dang I thought that we were going to get into a nice conversation about SOS ($hitOnaShingle), that's some tasty stuff right there now, but I have not found any equal to the goodness of it since I was in the Navy, I think that they have cornered the market in delicious!

Significant Other is the proper sociological term, and has been in academic use far longer than what is now common usage.

If you've ever wondered who 'they' are, they are the General Other.
Thus ends our sociology lesson for today. Tune in tomorrow! ;)
