Flats.
Pick.
Mary Ann.
No designated hitter.

That is all.

Mary Ann or Marsha? That would be a tough call.

 

[Mike N]

MIA vs MIM
P vs J

Because that would hurt precious little feelers and we would all end up banned.

OK, then a REALLY FREEKIN LIKE button? Unless only getting a LIKE would hurt feelings because they didn't get a REALLY FREEKIN LIKE.

Marsha, but I would definitely try for both.

But I just know the guitarist would snag them while I was loading gear into the truck.

You should have included “French vs German”. You’re completely ignoring the Db minority.

Then let them play in F Major.

Speaker cab mixing

 

[flam]

I've never understood the controversy over this one. Even though most people call it an input jack(me included), it's clearly an output. I will see if I can start calling it what is actually is and sound less dumb. After all, I need all the help I can get.

Mechanically you input something into it. Electrically it serves as a connection for an output (I'm just stirring the pot).

Did anybody mention the $300 vs. $3000 bass debate yet?

Any subject involving Guitar Center.

And a tiny 1000w amp and 15lb. cab.

but I still want to run a 30 watt tube head into four 215 cabs. I don't care that I'll need a whole sprinter van for my gear alone, nor that there'll be less stage space, I want it.

The pedals folks get pretty bent about the no pedals folks

The you can't hear a difference in woods folks get pretty bent about the yeah I can folks

The cns guys repulse everyone. Time for pizza.

I just wanna know when we decided to call old solid state amps "Class A/B" (never mind that that's a classification that applies equally well to a number of tube-based designs). It's almost like we, collectively, needed a term to make those older amps sound special...

In any case, I assume if I wait another 20 years, we'll all be caught up talking about how much better vintage amp modelers sound...

Yah. Tubes vs Solid state dried up and blew away years ago.
Definitely been replaced by...
Class D vs Digital.

Too many basses?

Never can have too much body armor.

I remember that one. Never have I seen so much hate generated. That one took the cake.

 

[Bassbeater]

Wasn't the time to nostalgically commemorate our year's past arguments sometime in late December?

Wasn't the time to nostalgically commemorate our year's past arguments sometime in late December?

Yeah but I procrastinated for 2 months and then I saw a shiny new amp and got distracted so.....

 

[Dean N]

My rosewood sounds warm, and my maple sounds bright and snappy. My ebony sounds classy and expensive. My ash-boded jazz sounds.. uh.. like.. ash. Like ash tonewood.

And it's carrots vs. Rutabaga. Rutabaga. Not radishes. Get it right.

 

[rafitoprtx]

They forgot the cab mixing.

This is in bass humor because I want to keep it lighthearted and fun. I have noticed, this morning alone, multiple posts about hot button issues that inevitably open a huge can of worms with riots in the streets, burning buildings, and the collapse of society as we know it ensuing. Example, the classic fender vs musicman: civil war or the INFAMOUS best bass for metal,punk, or postmodern classical progressive jazz gaelic fusion with Uncle Dave on the uilleann pipes. The new one unknown to me was pike electronics vs Darkglass. We've all seen THAT GUY post some rant about how the fender elite, or stingray, or ric, or [insert your favorite brand here] he bought was an overpriced POS. Then Fenderboy1986 or MMRay511 comes swinging in from the moral high ground with his lasso of superiority (apologies if that is actually someones TB tag no offense intended) and begins WWIII. So why is it that we cant just get along? Poll for kicks. Also carrots.
