The more you post on talkbass the better you get. there is a sub-correlation to the specific topic you post in most. The more I post about my amp the better it sounds! Yesterday I posted in "technique" about how I can't slap and today I'm Stu Hamm.

It wears off quick though, gotta make at least 5 posts per day to keep it up.
