Now it’s the Stingray that CRUSHES EVERYTHING!!

[P. Aaron]

Can we banish the use of crush as a metaphor for; completed, good, works fine?

I don't know. Look likes there's something else out there that does "crushing" to StingRays.

Indeed - like any tool the bass is only as good as the person using it.

I had no idea TB was so salty towards SBL. I watched the video because I'm a stingray fan boy. It's simple entertainment. That's it. Not sure what people thought the video was supposed to be. They did the same video on Ps and Js already. I also watched this video that came out just a few days before the SBL video. I was neither shocked nor appalled be either video. Just have fun with it.

"Shocked and appalled" is a bit much. Kind of like the videos. I just don't find it entertaining or funny. I never found that style funny. Can't it just be that?

Yes. I was skeptical on the HH... till I got one.

Video creators have a problem. They have to make ever more sensational titles to get your attention. But as we all know, when everything is emphasized nothing is emphasized. So it just becomes a blur of irrelevance, even on topics in which we otherwise are interested. The whole internet seems to be breaking down this way.

It's not that simple though. I have three EBMMs. I'm not hurt or insulted in the least. Just not entertained.

Yeah well, had to sit through a lot of banter in the course I paid for. Contained all the relevant information. But then it charged a time tax. Plus it all comes off a bit chasing the youth vote. I don't hate them. Just not tempted to sign up anymore.

H1821+643's black hole is between about three and 30 billion solar masses. That's roughly 7,500 times the mass of the black hole in our own galaxy.
Nearly double what old guys think their bass weighs.
This crushes everything.

I like most of the SBL videos. Everything has gone sensational, including cable. History channel used to have history, now they're still trying to find out how the pirates hid the gold at Oak Island. What's it been? Ten+ years? Oh, and "Aliens!!!" SBL's videos are still acceptable, for me.

Allow me to clap back and propose we use slay instead.

I don't hate SBL. I hate the YT game of idiotic thumbnails, high energy vlogs, endless "content" for content's sake. By playing the game right, SBL can offer courses and interviews with great players, giveaways, and bass entertainment.
The ability not to watch the channel is its best feature. Same goes for any online content.

if I wanted a thing that crushes everything, I'd get a demolition hammer

I've stopped watching his videos years ago.
Have I misses anything?

 

[sonojono]

Have them both, never crushed anything with the Stingray. Just saying.

Probably a few watermelons but that's about it

 

[sonojono]

Grind and Cirrus are pretty high up on the awesome list.

You mean on the "Crush" list

Irony is being mad on talkbass about guys talking bass on youtube

 

[salmon256]

Honestly think this youtuber did the topic more justice IMO, don't mind Scott but yeah his clickbait-ness and sometimes they just run overly long his videos and I love good background noise too it just unneeded info at times.

But watching it, I will say that format is a lot more enjoyable, good examples, nice tone show off, and I did enjoy his Jazz bass video ignoring the thumbnail of course...
