Starting to find repeats here on TB

I’m a pay it forward kind of person, so I don’t mind helping where I can.

Once upon a time I helped out a lot, then I kept getting snubbed by the recipient or some joker would come in & throw their monkey wrench in on the 2nd page of a long discussion.
My own fault sometimes, though.
Like going into a long detailed post describing all the components & even going so far as to tell the intended where to buy (being familiar with their place of residence), and ...
they just take it to the local tech on Monday & get the "I don't know what he did , but it works now!" special.

If the folks dig around they can find the information, it's in there...
 
When the primary subject is bass, kinda only so many things you can cover. Stuff is bound to repeat.
Okay, lets talk BACON!!!

I'll join that club.

I buy the "no-brand" or the ones with Chinese writing and Dragons all over them. They don't last nearly as long as Big Battery name brands, but I'm convinced that they make my Keeley modified TS9 sound better.....View attachment 2943161
Duracell or Eveready? Whats the best tonevolt?
Are dragon labeled batteries better for metal?

PA-LEEEEEEZE! use the search function before addressing me. And if you must address me directly please refer to me as "oh wise one" or "your majesty."
That is all, carry on. ;)
You may address me as "El Conquistador"!

I want to know where the EB-0 vs. EB-3 arguments are.
There is no argument.
One pickup canoe paddle versus two pickup canoe paddle.
I know, lets talk buggywhips and Aquaman!

On the plus side, a fresh crop of bassists seem to be joining us here on the best bass guitar forum on the planet. The down side is that all the same arguments, questions and thought starters are coming back up. Why Fender? P or J? Pick or Fingers? Maple or Rosewood? Ampeg or Boutique?
Just a comment more than anything else. Everything old is new again (except me!)

This would make for a fun poll:
"What questions/subjects that come up all the time irritate you the most".
Oops...I should have done a search. It probably has already been done.

I’m proof the system works sometimes. Mostly you, but lots of people helped me out with a series/parallel issue I was having...
 
The whole "use the search" line no longer holds water because of the repeats and the lack of closure so many threads bring these days. Looking for info here can be like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles sometimes.
