What do you want to see more/less of on TalkBass in the 2020s?

More
-Technical stuffs for building, repairing and maintaining with details. I shielded and Shimmed my bass only with these kind of informations here and I'm very thankful.

Less
-Trolling, specially labeling and insulting musicians who you don't like or understand.
-"making excuses (like small hands) for not working on techniques" threads.
-Precision bass with Jazz neck.
-"Flatwound strings sound like dead rounds!" Statements.

 

Friendships.

 

Things I don't want to see I just skip.

 

I'm hoping to curtail my online time & thus see less of everything.

 

More:
Of the same.

Less:
"Use the search function" responses.

 

More: Using the search function before posting/replying.
Less: People who spend more time looking at their gear than playing it.
More: Calling people out for not knowing the difference between input and output.
Less: Threads that could have been avoided with 30 seconds on google.
More: Reading the date of the last post before replying.
Less: "Can I use the strings that came on my short scale bass to tune to drop Fb?"

 

I am sitting here listening to the first four U2 albums (because New Years Day lol) and I have decided that I will not be bashing Adam Clayton any more, and I'd like to see less of it here. I am noticing that he was much more musical than many here would have you believe.

 

Well this post certainly doesn't help that idea. I'm in support of your idea.

 

To be fair the talk bass search function is horrible. If I want to find something on TalkBass I have to go to Google and type my search term and then TalkBass after it.

 

Yeah, TB search function is le dogg squeeze. Google does a much better job of finding relevant search info on TB than TB does.

 

Would be nice to have a way for threads to be automatically presented for specified topics. Better yet, a TalkBass AI should tell me what I need to know.

 

More:

Absolutely hilarious first post replies on ridiculous thread topics.

Less:

Constant kerfuffling about which power supplies to use in the effects forum.

 

More: celebrating each others successes, whatever they may be
less: Snarkiness and answering questions using their own opinions, then their opinions are irrelevant to the question being asked*

*example:
(Question): "What Jazz Bass should I buy?"
(Answer): "Why do you want a jazz bass? You should get a Stingray instead", etc.

 

Also: A mobile friendly site or an app!

 

less this
more that

 

The mobile site is awesome for me.

They used to have an app but they got rid of it for security concerns

 

More- "I love (whatever)"

Less- "I hate (whatever)"

 

More, or less, of?

More: tolerance of humor, the world could really use it.

 

Less B.S.
