I been racking my brain over this TNC thing since my earliest days here, today I find out what it means. Sometimes the simplest things escape me. Sorta a let down considering all the other stuff I was coming up with for it. Mostly all I could think of was GFR TNUC, but that U just kept throwing me off.

oooooooooooo, two very different things though they can both smell fishy sometimes.....

I'm having a difficult time understanding some of these posts, because of all of the acronyms.

Maybe... Y'all would be kind enough to "educate" Me, on some of these?

Let's start here... ***, is NBD!!!???

Thank You, kindly.

Great question.
I just joined last year and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what NBD meant.
The light bulb just went off a couple of weeks ago.

Regarding the "Bob Babbitt" entry in the learning links: the session musicians known as "The Wrecking Crew" were based in Los Angeles, not Detroit. Carol Kaye famously occupied the bass chair there.

@Marc DLarosa Welcome to TalkBass. I have another for you.

Someone a few days ago got, like a new head and cab and didn't know if he should list it as NAD or NCD.
I suggested, in the event of multiple purchases, that he could use NSD. - New Stuff Day.

If you just got a single combo amp, would it be: got one new amp day or GONAD?

Among other accomplishments, Carol is the one who came up with the catchy bass riff for "The Beat Goes On" by Sonny and Cher.

I've been on this forum for a long time, formerly as greybeard and now as Ampslut and I hate these dang acronyms. It doesn't take that much more time or effort to type out New Bass Day. I just think they make things a bit tribal or klanish, like you are not a member of the "club" if you don't know all the acronyms.

I agree. Have the same issue at work
