Why do I go through threads after threads? Listen to people trying convince me that there views are better than mine? Listening to players tell me which amp goes to which cabinet? Which bass has a better tone for rock, jazz or funk? Who has the best technique? Who has the best pedals? Even down to the pedal board they use. Which company makes the best strings for jazz, funk,? Which is better Flats, Semi flats, round wounds, steels nickle, light gauge, heavy gauge, long scale, short scale,...? Which is better woods, maple, cedar, alder, rosewood, no wood (metal,etc)? Which amp is better, tubes, digital, hybrids, etc? Why am I starting to find Talkbass uninteresting as of late? I have my amps which I love - Thunderfunk, Alembic w/Crest CA6. I have the basses which I love, - Alleva-Coppolo and Sadowsky. My favorite Cabinets by Aguilar, Bergantiono and Accugroove. My favorite pedals - many of them and players I listen to -Many of them. Also I like listening to the music.... I like listening to. I mean I respect everybodys opinion. I even made mistakes with buying an amp that was recommended to me on talk Bass for the sound I was seeking. I could not wait to sell that amp. So why do I visit and as of late (not always have and was a big fan in some ways) find it unpleasant. I don't want to feel this way.

Maybe, you should look for people to help with all of your acquired knowledge. Share your wealth.
If not, well Jkramer5 pointed the way if your so bothered.
HOWEVER, we will always welcome you back when the pain subsides.

The reason you continue to read and listen to Talkbass is the same reason the rest of us do it..........because there is something WROOONG with us.......something SERIOUSLY WROOOONG with us!
because half of us are right half the time and the other half are wrong all the time. what half am i again?
Hmmmmm drama. Not the intention . Shall I take it off? Or is it something I should leave on? Don't want to insult anyone. Wasn't written for that. I did say I respect there opinions.
Because there is a lot of good advice. I am sure some of the gear you love has been based on recommendations from fellow TB members.
Personally, I probably would have never heard of Thunderfunk and Sadowsky if it wasn't for Talkbass.

It looks like drama to me, I mean, where are we going with this thread? No offence inteded, but you listened to people's opinions and advices, bought something you didn't like, sold it and probably lost a few pennies in the long run. So what? It is life, we don't always get it right.
You could add a "just nedded to vent" at the end, so it will be clear that you are just looking for some emotional satisfaction by sharing your dissatisfaction, nothing wrong with that. Or you are telling your story to people because you think that the board may benefit from it...maybe. But you just didn't make it clear either.
People usually have the best intentions when it comes to recommendations. I have been through the same trials and errors. But its all good. The more stuff you try the more you find out what you like and don't like.
Any type of message board you go on there is always an extreme gamut of opinions.
Why do all of us keep coming back here? Because we are all hopeless bass addicts!!

There's a lot of useless rambling about gear here - that's true. But there are some great folks that can teach you a lot about music. Those are the threads worth looking for.
I'm closing my browser now to go practice.

Here we go again!!!!! Just because something works for one person, say an amp, doesn't mean it's going to work for someone else. That's the beauty of the internet. You can do RESEARCH before going out and buying something. I'm not going to go out and buy a $1000 amp just because Joe Bassplayer says it works for him.
