Least Favorite thing about Talkbass?

It is a really good forum; well-moderated. I like the apolitcal aspect of TB. In the days of massive incivility and hate, it is a place where I can take off my shoes, read, learn, joke and share things on a subject that I really like. Covid-time is so confining. I got rid of my Facebook account because I started to dislike real friends. Not why I signed up for sure.

I'd like to think that TB is a place to enjoy the company and advice of other bass nerds.

I did the same thing for the same reason. it's nice to scan the forum lists and decide what I am going to read about without getting all riled up.

Reactions: Basslice
This site contributes greatly to GAS attacks, I end up spending too much time thinking about gear I don't own, can't really afford but would make my life so much better.. ?

Otherwise it's a great distraction during the work day..
This was kind of my gut-reaction answer. But I’ve realized buying into the GAS culture is my own dang fault! :woot:

This place can’t be half bad, I’m on here like 10 times a day :whistle:

I'm definitely with all of you here who feel this sentiment. It's like, it doesn't matter who or what you are in terms of ethnicity, creed, belief system or whatever else, we here are all simply bassists. I love that. I recently saw someone here saying that there are people they talk to on TalkBass that they probably wouldn't necessarily approach in real life due to whatever. And at the end of the day, we as people have more in common than not. We're all just people trying to do the best we can in a crazy, everchanging world.

But here... we can all just play bass, talk bass, and complain that this forum gives us GAS that gets us in trouble with our wives, mothers, girlfriends, and whomever else, ha ha!

Who ever thought we bassists would be the sorta kinda troublemakers, eh?
