I'm familiar with Milgram. Zimbardo is confirmation.

Let's talk about something less depressing.

I'm happy to be a horrible scum under circumstances that probably won't happen. In the mean time, we all play Thunderbirds, more or less. More work on the P- and Tele-Bird bodies coming up. I keep getting drips that have to be sanded out and redone. Carlo has no competition. But, they are getting to the point they are pretty good now. A few more days of messing around with them and I might start bolting things up.

Almost to soundcheck in Memphis. The singer of Eskimo Brothers asked what electric bass I brought this trip and I told him my Gretsch, same as usual. He said, “I want you to start bringing that Thunderbird from now on.” Twist my arm :)

And so begins the conquest of Nashville, soon followed by the conquest of the planet, then universe! All because the Duke O'Rock got chosen by a 'Bird.

Some cranky folks out in genpop this morning. Funny stuff :)

Wonder what it is about forums that makes folks fight in such a nasty way over nothing? Interesting that most of the ‘clubs’ don’t really suffer from that as bad.

What happened?

I suppose it’s really just social media in general. On a typical social media outlet, I avoid politics or faith. Those are conversations best had in person with folks.

There’s a bunch of threads I avoid on TB. Say there’s a thread about wiring onboard preamps or multiscale basses. I can’t offer anything there as I tend to love four string, passive basses. I’d just be a drag to those folks by saying I don’t like what they like, so I move on to what I do like. Or maybe I can offer positive advice on something elsewhere.

I don’t know what I’m trying to say other than there’s enough negativity in the world without me adding to it :)

Yeah, I tend to skip threads about stuff I'm not the least bit interested in. Most of the time.

You know, those typical threads where people seem willing to fight to the death over a tone pot, tiny dings in the finish, performance ideas. Just some especially hateful and negative stuff today

I dunno, that whole thread was way to hilarious to be serious. My brother, who plays pedals more than bass these days, told me about it and how funny it was. He wasn't kidding.
