    I realized I have very few 'bass heads' on my instagram feed and am weaker for it, follow me @rousetheboroughs and I'll give you a follow back ! I'm really interested in bass content and would love fellow social media afficionados who curate their gear (basses, guitar and drums) to give my feed a better vibe instead of the dreaded 'recomended by instagram' crap.

    Anyhow, looking forward to see you on the 'gram

    So you think it's a great idea to post pictures of all your gear so anyone that can find your IP address location can enjoy your gear in person?

    Nope, not gonna participate.

    Can they get your IP address from Instagram?

    I never actually learned to play very well
    Having someone's IP address does nothing to identify their specific location unless you have the resources of the FBI to track it down.

    Google images has a lot of gear pictures to steal.

    Just out of curiosity I did a geo-lookup of my IP. It has me in the wrong city.

    You mean actual real parties where people are in the same room, conversing with each other, or social media instagram fakebook twitter thingies where no one knows you're a dog?

    Agreed. One step away from posting pics of all your valuables and your physical address. It boggles my mind that after thirty years of daily proof to the contrary, people think you have any anonymity on the internet at all.
