If you kids dont stop this, I am going to stop this car and give you such a hit.
as hinted at earlier... it's not you, no, it's everybody else.
That's ok.
I'm off to get more popcorn.
Okay quick lesson, because I can see you're going to be a fixture around here. So this is a hate thread turned help-desk....
1. highlight text in somebody's insult. then click "quote". You can also quote the whole message.
2. Paste it into the reply box by hitting "insert quotes"
OR
type "@" + the name of the offending bassist to alert them
@Lefty4string
There you go dude. Now you can defend yourself! Hands up chin down!

@Lefty4string
I hope you play bass better than you play internet!

You should have whatever you want if it makes you happy and isn't causing a detriment.
My opinion - YMMV, and the truth is - your happiness is sometimes pretty important.

I think a person only needs to have one bass to learn how to play. Whether they get good at it is up to them, but also might rely on some pre-existing talents (like perfect pitch).
If my primary gig was playing guitar, I doubt I'd have three basses.
and for the record, some of us don't claim to be musicians
Apparently a precursor to being a musician is being able to hear when an instrument is out of tune. I can't do that, unless it's really out. I can tell when a instrument is in Drop D vs. E Standard, but if it's in Eb Standard,,,

I can only assume to know to what you refer.
And given that I've used up my daily allotment of assumptions, I'll await until you learn to use the Reply or Quote functions before attempting to rebut your responses to my post.
no worries, just kidding.
I say more power to people who can afford good gear, I'm happy for them. 'Merica!@ @!!!!!!! Type "@"! [shift]+2 and the name

I'm happy for them, too. Thailand!
That's the difference between being a player and being a collector. Many people are both with varying degrees of proficiency at either one.
Wow! First women, now Californians?
Me also happy. Vespucia.no worries, just kidding.
I never thought there would be a need for a talkbass workshop forum. It’s a very user friendly interface. Lol
