Can you tell me what bass this is...
Would this be more practical if it was the answers we gave the numbers?
#1 would have to be carrots.

"4 strings was good enough for <famous player>" vs. "Anything you can play on a 4 you can play on a <number bigger than 4>"
"The decal was sanded off ages ago, it's a refin, replacement pickups, the serial # is way off, but the seller swears it's pre-CBS."
I should buy it, right?

Synth bass needs its own sub forum. Whoops, sorry, that was just me. #stillbitter

#69-knowing theory takes away from creativity
I'm on the fence about this. Carrots is one of the answers least likely to make me roll my eyes. But it's the topics that set the inevitable eye-rolling answers in motion.
The only proper thing is to take a poll. I'll see what I can do.
The question of "I don't tour, have never recorded an album, have no social media presence, don't really have a band, and my day job is in IT - how do I get an endorsement deal?" came up a lot in the past.
It needs to be mentioned that nobody asking this mentioned that they didn't have the experience, the band, the exposure, or the chops, but they wanted to know how to get known companies to send free stuff.
Then, a bunch of guys not qualified to answer, or a guy with a perverse inverse ratio of endorsements to actual talent always answered, and he was treated as Anthony Jackson's heir apparent with the final word on the subject. There really should be a number for that.
