Most overused word or phrase on TB?

[Solarmist]

"P or J"
"J's are more versatile"
"Maple is bright, and Rosewood is warm"
"What's the best (fill in the blank)"

I've seen quite a few of these along the way.

You mean all the bass players that recorded so much fantastic music on them since the fifties? Those people? It's like saying you're tired of steak, you only want quiche. Oh, is that a new shawl you have on there? Well mister, I'd tell you it sets your eyes off but I gotta go gnaw on some meat. Seeya.

Nope. Not those great players, people like this guy. Dear Leo Christ, please save me from your followers.

I don't own a real F, only products designed and sold by F only because of the beauty and value. I am not a follower, if I have the cash and come across any fantastic deal on any good bass I would likely buy it regardless of brand or boutique. The outright silliness of saying F is overused is beyond belief. It is only used in proportion to it's market share. Just silly.

Fender, Fender, Fender.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

iJazz - Squiers, made by FENDER!

Overrated has got to be up there. It seems like there is a new "(insertplayer/genre/band) is overrated thread" almost every time I look. Plus any thread giving praise to someone always gets a few naysayers.

 

[VitalSigns]

This thread reminds me of people complaining about their sh**hole small town..

 

[dustybottoms]

"Mids" - anything that sounds good to someone on here "has good mids" it seems. I see it getting used a lot to describe something that is not even "middy" all.

"Punch" - I think "punch" basically equates to "I like what I hear coming out of the cab" and I am able to discern that sound from other surrounding noises. It's totally relative to what you like.

I feel like these terms have both been turned into very general overused terms. It's almost hard to get a good description of something because everything "has punch and tons of mids".

 

[DeathFromBelow]

"Best xxxxx for metal". I mean, come on people, you can do better. If there was ever a worn out joke...

Oh, and "carrots".

 

[mellowinman]

Semprini

 

[fhm555]

"me" closely followed by "I"

I'd truly love to know what percentage of the total word count on TB these two represented.

 

[Not yet]

Greenboy

 

[Innocuous]

For me it's "bro" "brah" "brother"
