What are all these acronyms? List your's here!

[RED J]

If I recall correctly.


As far as I know. Laugh out loud. It could be worse?

I could be wrong

 

[MatticusMania]

Ok. That was helpful (TWH) how about at the end of statements where people say "hiding" you're not hiding. I know who you are. And "eek", "bassist" etc. I've been reading posts on this site for quite a while now and have never seen a proper explanation. I'm still a noob I suppose.

hiding, eek, and bassist are commands for smilies when you put : before and after them

 

[Nickthebass]

There are other useful acronyms like one from the 1940s that you can text to your other half on your way home from a particularly good gig

BURMA




Be undressed ready my angel

 

[RitchS]

You must be reading the board with a tablet or phone. On the web, those tokens are translated into emoticons. But through the TalkBass app, they don't translate at all, and just stick out like sore thumbs.

 

[Lowactnsatsfctn]

WTBBFM?

and I think PRON means a new bass or something

ERB = Extended range bass
EUB = Electric upright bass
SS = Stainless Steel

 

[punkjazzben]

NBD - new bass day
NAD - new amp day
NCD - new cabinet day

OOOOHHHHHH!!!!! Now I get it!! Yes. Yes I do most of this through my phone! Thank you very much CC. TWH!

LOL...good thread. What does SUB mean (seen it several times)?
I'll add one....
LSD = lead singer disease

 

[MatticusMania]

I think SUB is just a shortened version of "subscribed"

 

[Bassics101]

ahh, but the H being humble is what makes IMNSHO work.

(in my not so humble opinion)

Maybe this has double meaning, as in, "has this bass been dropped/broken etc.?"
Then the answer might be preceded by "in my not so honest opinion".

 

[keiththebassist]

+1, but honestly, how many of us are humble?

At least we're trying to put that out there!

 

[DiabolusInMusic]

SUB is the new EBMM line, it is their Squier. Generally people say subbed or subscribed when the subscribe to a thread, but it could be subscription.

Don't forget NFG = No blankin' good and POS = Piece of spit. I use those when describing my Squier VM Fretless Jazz amongst other things...

 

[Auguste]

Thanks everyone . . . But don't stop posting new ones

 

[FutureTense]

If I've figured it out correctly, FOH is "Front of House"? I'm still not completely certain of this one.

OIC is "Oh I See".

I thought NFG was the band 'New Found Glory' which happens to be a POS band. NFG, indeed!

Correct.

 

[DiabolusInMusic]

FOH is front of house. That is an important one. This isn't an acronym but you still should know it, especially if FOH comes up.

When you give a soundman a thumbs up or down, that means turn me in my mix, in my monitor up or down.

Well played Matt. I laughed.

Actually in high school we suggested calling ourselves NFG, we thought it was hilarious... until New Found Glory came out...

 

[Tat2dHeart]

Don't forget PITA - Pain In The @$$

 

[CrewsControl]

TANSTAAFL

(it's really a thing, I didn't make it up, google it)

 

[BigOkie]

FLK= Funny Looking Kid; WYSIWYG= What You See Is What You Get
