Just commited TB heresy...

[TalkBass Pope]

Hey, thanks for stopping by, holy dude!

You're welcome...! And in case you didn't know, I did create this profile entirely just for the joke of showing up when the OP didn't want me to. My real profile is A.D.Fairhurst.

 

[Marial]

Is JimmyM the TB pope?

Could it be?

I thought it was Pacman, but only the Shadow knows.

 

[VWbug]

I like your bass but think it would look good with a Tort. PG.
I guess you liking it like that will have to be fine.

 

[nerkoids]

So who's going to ban the Pope?

 

[Mystic Michael]

I always felt the same way you do until I tried Thomastik Jazz Flats! They're fantastic Fantastik!

Fixed it for ya...

I may have to occasionally reconnoiter your account for purely comedic purposes, A.D.

 

[superheavydeathmetal]

Oh, wow. I have never owned a Fender bass, and I have never owned a bass with a split-coil pickup. Am I allowed to have an account here?

(I did try flats once, for about 2 days...)

And lets ban humor as well.

I was getting ready to issue a warning to some of you. The level of enjoyment some are having in this thread is getting dangerously close to the "fun" level. My advice to you is that if you find yourself starting to enjoy your talkbass experience that you dial it back a little. If you literally laugh out loud you have gone too far.

Thank you,
The management

 

[nerkoids]

Ok, just checking, how many of us actually play bass?

We can't help it, we put the "fun" in dysfunctional.

You will just have to try harder to not enjoy your talkbass experience.


Thank you,

Rounds are fine as long as you don't go all sproingy boingy. OK maybe for a brief while, but tone it down afterwards. There are geezers in the house.

 

[Jaco Taco]

I took the flats off my P bass, and replaced with rounds.
Also, in full confession mode, I switched the gold ano guard I had on it for a black one. Also, I don't like most tort 'guards.
(I also like the bass this way.)

P bass with rounds rock. Also, tort guards are lame and generic.

Yes, I know.
They're in my band.

Yeah, I saw your join date...

 

[Jay Mastro]

Went from this-

to this-

I've got a black guard on its way for my natural ash American P, will look just like this when it's on!

 

[steweDbass]

Never was a flat wound fan myself, so I'm out of the lynch mob and going under cover (maybe a target myself)!
Yeah the gold didn't look so hot on the natural body IMO (like it on VW, CAR or 3TS tho) , black is definitely better, although I'm a fan of tort guards too.
Each to their own!

 

[jd56hawk]

So did I in the "Horrible Stock Colors" thread.

JimmyM and the pope

 

[Humbled]

I wear a Tort G-String and have a flat pick guard.


Am I doing it wrong?
