What I have learned on TalkBass So Far...

-

- aside from spelling atrocities from supposedly native English ahh, users... the most annoying posters on TB are the ones who write epic multiple-paragraph diatribes without a clue as to what a paragraph break is or why it should be used. (unless you find some other aspect more annoying, such as pedantic-semantics)
:

Now, I dunno about no panda -satans, but you gotta watch out for ALL CAPS.
 
I learned that fEARfull cabs are superior in design and function over any other cabinet ever made or that ever will be made and anything you say contrary to that is just flat out wrong..

Beat me to it! And also that striving to reproduce lower fundamentals is a wast of time, money, cabinet volume and amp power. It's all about the first harmonic. So if you want 31 Hz, you really want 62 Hz. But wait, if you want 62 Hz, don't you really want 124 Hz? Oops, may bass just vanished.
 
Ive learned a lot in all seriousness. Ive been playing for almost 15 years and I have learned more about effects, amps/cabs/ohms, basses and technical stuff in the last 7 months than I have in the last 14 years. I wish I wouldve joined sooner. There is a wealth of knowledge on TB. Its a wonderful resource IMO. There is A LOT of opinion but I like that too. If you find like minded guys with your same tastes it comes in handy when youre trying to find out more info on something you cant/havent tried. The one thing Im really aware of now though is, one mans treasure is another mans trash. The hype isnt always what its cracked up to be. Sometimes, it is. I love TB.
