what old debate should be revisited next?

[davec]

AC or DC

should we or shouldn’t we crawl out of this water?

 

[Frank77]

My personal favorites are:

"All music recorded after the (insert decade during which the OP grew up and/or gigged the most here) suck.", and

"Digital files can never sound as good as CDs / Vinyls." - Generally based on crappy encoding formats from 20 years ago.

What's the best metal drummer to fire for the Mothman? With tort.

Still need to somehow squeeze "flats" and "backup bass/amp/everything" in there too...

 

[dougjwray]

when the guitarist is tuning down a step (or a half step) and placing his fingers into the position for the E chord and striking the strings - is it okay to call that E or must it be called D (or Eb) ?

 

[Turnaround]

Fire the drummer?

Is that really a question?

 

[dougjwray]

Anyone can make a Jazz with fresh rounds sound exactly like a Precision with 20-year-old flats. You just have to know the mystical secret!
(Hint: [winking and whispering] "It's all in the hands!")
P.S. I've never actually touched a Precision Bass in my life.

Why can't I pick another instrument?

 

[dougjwray]

Hi! I'm 13 years old, and I've set up my YouTube channel where I can post my "playing along with" videos. I like Victor Wooten, Hadrien Feraud, Henrik Linder and Geddy Lee. I have only about 15 minutes per week to practice. I don't have a bass yet. What kind should I get, so that I can play like them?
My mom is thinking about a Squire [sic] starter kit, but I've heard good things about Fodera and Ritter.

 

[Josh Gone]

Is it too soon for my band to start practicing again?

 

[Bagusys]

Ginger or Maryann

 

[Snibborwocky]

shoes or bare feet

 

[dougjwray]

Some of us might like to think of our instrument as a descendant of the double bass, but it's really just a big guitar.

 

[dougjwray]

Fender bass users are all merely conformist sheep who have been brainwashed by a highly skilled marketing scheme.

 

[Josh Gone]

Acoustic musicians, and open mics are ruining the scene.

 

[bongostealth]

The 'ol "Plays like buttah!" debate... whether such a phrase should ever be used in a 'For Sale' listing.

 

[Gibson Victory]

GC something or another vs. Bass Jargon

Only if it's also "built like a tank."

What's the best flat metal drummer to fire for the Mothman? With backup tort.

And I may have invented a new genre, FLAT METAL

Yes! I forgot about that one!
