"This vs. That" bass threads

[Vic]

Just for poop & giggles I did a search for "Do a Search" and found 500 threads.

Yeah, except I don't think the "do a search" reply is nearly as nasty as when it gets adversarial between posters with differing opinions... sometimes even personal. I think that's the worst of it by far.

Funny I clicked on that link and got nothing

In a sort of search defense, some things are hard to search for if it's less than 3 letters. Like EQ.

The aggressive "shoot-out" attitude bugs me, and the "apples vs. oranges" questions and unanswerable questions ("which would I enjoy playing better, this or that") amuse me, but the ones that really kill me are the ones so down into the minutiae level that I just want to say, "Get a life!!"
You know-- I'm talking about the ones like,
"What are the sound differences between: 1) a Jazz Bass with an ebony fingerboard, Rotosound flatwound strings, a Badass bridge, a Sadowsky outboard preamp, chrome knobs, Dunlop straplock buttons, sunburst finish, poplar wood, a brass nut, imported Austrian platinum alloy tuning keys, a vinyl strap, a Monster cable, a heavy Fender pick; and 2) a Jazz Bass with a maple fingerboard, GHS flatwound strings (with a G string swapped from a set two months older than the others), a stock bridge, a Retro preamp, big furry knobs, diamond-studded strap buttons, Minwax finish, balsa wood, a bone nut carved from a dinosaur fossil, a detuning key, a painted headstock, a vintage woven strap signed by Jack Casady, a wireless system and a gig bag I made myself?"

Just get a decent bass and practice, people!!!!
There, I feel better now...

OMG!! I know this is a couple of days late on this thread, but I am laughing out loud so hard I have tears in my eyes and can barely type!!!!!!!! That is some hillarious detail, I think I actually read that "vs." last week some where on here!!!!

EQ is 3 letters. Duh.

 

[Dude]

No, I disagree...EQ is only one letter...mine generally always looks like a V.

Everyone knows that most pros use an "S" curve. That's where the money is.
