Things that you think about TB that can't possibly be true, right?

[Slinger]

A lot of TB members can't spell the word "guitar" which is weird as most of them play bass guitars.

5 minutes head-start, OK guys? I've got bum knees and I can't run very fast.

Sorry you play a bass guitar. Anthony Jackson and I play contrabass.

TBers practice their scales at least 15 minutes a day.

Both of them.

This thread along with sarcasm and Ms. Johnson's driving skills should reach another page

There's no need for a dedicated sarcasm font, right?

Why would you even think that? We've never had anyone misconstrue sarcasm, right?

I'm the only one getting underpaid for gigs, right?

There is no real BassCliff. IT is a conspiracy created by the TB moderators to generate interest.
Also shorts on stage are actual alright! Who knew!
and @twofingers is in a dad band.

Cheese is my favorite oral gratification.
How much for a little gouda.

There is another bass forum here but mostly, we dont talk to them except for a quick email on the holidays. I guess since they have neither effects or tort. Also, Fender doesnt make an upright.

99 out of 100 people in the audience are thinking: "I don't like the tone of that Squier. A Fodera would make SUCH a difference." The other one thinks it's a shame the tuner pedal is not true bypass, because that's ruining the enjoyment.

And if it had a maple fingerboard, the sound would be so much brighter.

What a truly enlightening, bright & stimulating thread, this. (No, really...)

TB is to bass what the Wall Street Journal is to finance.

That everybody knows what they're talking about with regard to speaker impedance, amplifier specifications, and ways to measure signal strength and sound pressure levels.

All basses sound the same whether made of ash, pine or rolled-up newspapers. Wait, this isn’t the Musical Misinformation thread? My bad.

Everyone that has an actual photo for their avatar must mean that it's actually a photo of themselves, right?

Mine is.

I'm coming in at the end of this thread, so this might have already been said, but....
Other than having enough volume to cover the gig, the overwhelming reason to buy a bass or amp, or any gear is for the enjoyment and inspiration for the player. I've owned and played everything from Tyler basses to Nordstrand, Squire's, Goya's, old Fenders, new Fenders, etc etc. All these cheap or expensive basses have inspired my playing. In some cases changed how I played the music. Its never been about the audience, its been about ME! Although.... There was that moment in the 80's when I put the red & black stripes of tape on my bass like Michael Anthony because I thought it would look cool in the audience.
