Talkbass Numbering System

[Matthew Fisher]

The "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?" question came up a lot in the past.

Then, a bunch of guys not qualified to answer, or a guy with an inverse ratio of endorsements to actual talent always answer. There really should be a number for that.

Wow! Impressive.

Golden oldies count too, folks. Think of it as preparation for the next great necropost.

It's better to let that one die, methinks.

Band member wants their significant other to sing or manage the band

Pay to play?

Band member gets too drunk

What gauge string to use for dropped z flat

Do I need a P bass?

Are boutique basses REALLY worth it?

Excellent idea!

But what about those of us that just can't recur a topic?

[dbase]

Which number would be good for Metal? #70

 

[TimboZ]

I, IV and V are the only numbers that matter

 

[lokikallas]

Bigger speakers = more bass, right?

Can I use my bass through a guitar amp?

My active bass with a 5 year old battery is distorted, do I need a new bass?

 

[Chris 'Wighat' Jordan]

I voted both. There are so many topics/questions and each has more than one answer.

Like "Should I mix driver sizes in a pair of cabinets?" This could be topic/question #3. And it could be answered with #31: "If it sounds good, it is good" or #43 "Won't sound as good as two of the same cabinet".

 

[Razman]

That's a classic, but I think it's a response. The topic would be any one of the following (and maybe more):

Should I quit?
Band drama
Our singer wears sweatpants

Should i wear shorts?

All for fun of course. I was new here once too. Luckily I knew how search a bit before starting new threads.

Or the ever popular, "I'm going to read the first post only and reply with my own story"?
