Most divisive topic in talkbass

[Hevy T]

Ginger vs Mary Ann

BTW, it's Mary Ann. No contest.

Ginger!

 

[Hevy T]

The best bass for metal obviously!

 

[Deleted member 165050]

None of the above. Most devisive is does tone woods make a difference.

Or grammar. That’s quite divisive

Just think about whats going on in the world today while we spend our day worrying about, should I use Flats or Rounds? That's why I live in the Bass humor section.

I must visit the section more often.. thanks for the heads up..

If I could, I'd install the sweetest sounding early - mid 60's P with "old school" flats that I could find, as permanent world dictator and would let that rich, deep, thump and the complex midrange capped with an elegant treble response, work it's way around the globe, sorting everything out and reminding everyone that we're not all that different after all....

That’s what the Cubans did at the US embassy. It isn’t always a good thing.

 

[Matt Liebenau]

I know it’s already been mentioned but one of my favorites is,

Pick any bridge you like. It makes absolutely no difference to the tone,

Followed by,

Man! I installed an xxxxx bridge and my bass completely changed!

 

[LowDownHawkeye]

I’m assuming it’s the ‘does wood effect tone’ debate, or does relicing suck or guys like me that chime in not having read the entire thread so I’m likely just repeating what had already been said but presenting it as the only guy in the entire forum that’s thought of this...

...then posting a gif of someone eating popcorn.

Maybe that’s the best way for OP to get an answer to their question: whether the thread eventually causes someone to post a popcorn gif.

Edit: or how long it takes for someone to post the popcorn gif

Do not forget the great mixed cabinets debates or the importance of cable quality

 

[superheavyfunk]

Here are two that you didn't list that are WAY more divisive:

Speaker size = Low frequency handling/tone
Precision-type VS Jazz-type

 

[BluesWalker]

Jeff Berlin

 

[Thumpin6string]

I forgot the old flats or rounds issue, but since many agree that by buying another bass you can have both, harmony was achieved. Also, would world peace ensue if I bought a jazz bass, p bass, stingray and ric and string half with flats and the other with rounds?

(Some would say) Only if they have Tort.

 

[gumbynotpokey]

Poll lacks:
*Jeff Berlin's thoughts on teaching music
*Jeff Berlin's thoughts on learning music
*Jeff Berlin's thoughts on the use of metronomes
...and of course...

*The P bass vs all other opinions on all other basses

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

Rickenbacker

 

[KillerEddie]

The clear answer is how much of a tonal increase a tort pickguard gives you.

 

[IamGroot]

Explaining how music and musicians work to those that abolutely don't get it is a fool's errand on this site. Explaining the basics of supply and demand and scales of economy to them is a completely different waste of time.

What he said.

Nope. It's Mrs. Howell. She will be VERY appreciative, and has a ton of cash to leave you in her will!

Ehhhhhh, not so much........
She never really seemed appreciative of anything, ever, and all of Thurston's investments tanked in the 70's so not much left in the community chest!

As an aside, the actress Natalie Schafer was a millionairess and reportedly extremely nice! She always hosted parties for the GI cast at her estate.

 

[2tonic]

Julie Newmar! I feel strongly about this.

Down boy, down.

 

[Old Garage-Bander]

Jennifer or Baily?

 

[4001]

Jeff Berlin VS metronomes.

 

[matthewbrown]

Metronomes

Jeff Berlin + metronomes.
