I have learned a lot on here don't get me wrong, but I have learned/noticed that ever since joining Talk Bass my G.A.S level has increased by at least 90%

Oh, you also forgot about how the moderators are generally over-sensitive and delete, edit, and censor posts at the slightest sign of argument.

I've learned that there are far too many people who believe that anecdotes and hard evidence are to be relied upon equally. Or maybe that anecdotes are better than empirical evidence. Especially when it comes to Behringer equipment.

I have learned that the TB community need's more talk about Llamas...

If the thought ever even crosses your mind that John Entwistle is not the best bass player to walk the earth or that he is not your biggest personal influence then you automatically lose your TB subscription, no questions asked.

Wow, yes, that is so true. I was told that we are all influenced by him whether we know it or not. We are all is spiritual bass children and homage must be paid.

I learned that Squier is spelled S-q-u-i-e-r.

Does anyone know what the best four string bass is?

 

[Dega60]

Also a P Bass with flats and a tort guard fixes everything

If I wasn't so lazy I would make that my sig

Does anyone know what the best four string bass is?

We all know the answer to that one....we learned it here on Talkbass! (carefully evading answering the question)

 

[dorknowitzki]

and using a pick on a 4 string fender bass is not metal.

 

[PsychoG]

What are the best carrots for metal, anyway?

Baby, boiled in beer.

....and just how is ragebabeecarrots formed?

Never got an answer to this one.

BTW I learned that some of you I like. Some of you I don't. But none of you are real.

Does anyone know what the best four string bass is?

Good one. And that brings up another:
Anytime a specific type of music is not mentioned it is understood that it's metal.

So this statement is actually: Does anyone know what the best four string bass is (for metal)?

Same thing for every other question that's been asked: Which is better (for metal) rounds or flats?

Which is better (for metal) fingers or pick?

Which is better (for metal): Black with silver pickguard or black with black pickguard?

CalboDaGo I mis-read your signature and thought that Confucius was the #89 Wisconsin bassist.

I've learned the only noticable difference between a supporting member and a registered user is an avatar.

And a slightly lighter wallet...

10 things I've learned on this forum:

10. Bass players are very serious
9. I didn't make a bad move getting my Fender jazz basses
8. I need more than one bass
7. Pink is a cooler color than I realized
6. Band Management is kind of complicated, and may involve some egos
5. Even though my speakers sound great, they are garbage, because people on this, and another forum have decided that
4. You can set up and soundcheck in much less time than my band
3. DR makes good strings
2. Guitar players might play in my frequency sometimes, and their amps may need adjusting

and the number one thing I have learned on Talkbass:

1. There is no best bass for metal. In fact, metal kind of sucks.
