Imagine the number of pages in the manual.........:0)

I didn't get a manual.
And the labels on the knobs don't always correspond to the function.
And the interactions between the knobs are unpredictable. Even the slightest touch on certain ones seems to get it all out of shape.
Some prominent knobs seem to have no effect. I got an earsplitting feedback at one point, then silence for a long time. Then one morning all was back to normal ( not sure I want to press the buttons)

"Them's platinum coated knobs, mate!"

 

[Peteyboy]

I'm just bummed I never got to express how sad it was that his Markbass LM3 stopped working for him..........

Yeah, all those pesky knobs were to blame. He's a misunderstood minimalist. Dude needs an Amish amp manufacturer.

We did it. #1

Thanks to every one who helped by adding knobs.

So.............how do you deal with gravity? Asking for a friend.

I dont have knobs that weigh me down

That string spacing sets my ocd on fire.

The string spacing has been fixed…it was just strung up in that pic…I didn’t notice it at the time.

I played all 4 of my basses the other day. The bass in question is by far my best sounding and playing bass I have. @/\/\3phist0 helped me make this bass possible. Thanks again!

“Where’s the knobs?”

 

[BobDeRosa]

I'm going to ask a question, give very minimal parameters, and then argue with every answer I get because, on point of fact, I know more than you.

Physics? Nah Doesnt apply to me.

Your experience? You're dumb.

Seriously, if anyone needs to vent from certain other posts, please come here.

This kicked off some very funny posts, so thank you for it. I had no idea that so many TB-ers could probably do stand-up comedy as a side hustle. Great laughs!

Your final goal must be to get the thread locked?

 

[Deleted member 165050]

Did he get suspended? I thought his posts were always the most popular??

Yes, but somehow it feels like he's still here

 

[mellowgerman]

From a player's perspective, I would prefer my basses not have any knobs, nor frets, only one string, a lightweight D-tuner, B-bender system, strap-locks, locking XLR jack, and high-mass bridge.

If he was a true troll he would sign up with a new name. Maybe just an egomaniac with an inferiority complex. But who isn't

 

[Element Zero]

We should ALL live in fear. The “knobless warrior” is nowhere, and everywhere.

Do you have any demo clips by chance? Would love to hear what the two extremes sound like blended together!

Someday…I’m lazy that way…

 

[mellowgerman]

Someday…I’m lazy that way…

I know how that goes! I've had a few unique project basses that I promised demo clips on, but never got around to before disassembling, changing pickups, and/or selling. If it ever does happen though, would be interested to hear it

Funny you should say that, I thought I detected a familiar tone a while back in the thread...

 

[mikeoso]

Well, hmmm...I dont seem to have any knobs at all on my basses. Is that good or bad?

"Is that good or bad?"

It's impossible to know. Be comforted though that it simply "Is What It Is" and flow freely with the good vibes and knowledge that knobs are not part of your Bass-ly existence and will not be confronting you with decisions about resistance. The energy flows unhindered....and so will you.

I showed this to Mrs. Brickbat...................she gave a strange kind of snort/laff, said fix your own GD peanut butter sandwiches and flew off on her broom. That was a couple of days ago. The lights in the house are flickering now in a strange sort of way and Japanese sounding voices are coming thru the radio.
