It’s back from the dead! The TB Mega Thread.

[D.o.S.]

I took that video to be more of a Bargain Basement Sam Kinison version of "it's the wizard not wand." Anathema to a lot of gear heads and gear forums, but typically true.

What's talkbass?

Ew.

worst of that is that looks EXACTLY the same as when I jointed in 04… such stagnant..

Wait, so its used the same look since '04 with no updates? Bruh, it looks like a fuckin' mobile site. Whoever designed that shit should be fired. Or git gud at making a layout that doesn't look like Viagra: teh forum.

NIGHT BAZZZZZ!

Also this made me think of you, behnders.

lulz. nope! i'm all about those Chilean Snack Foods now yo.

KINDA BURNT ON JAPAN AND NOT THE BEST OF MEMORIES FROM SOME OF THEIR PEOPLES.

The problem with that guy is that his real message is: "You don't need expensive gear, only my friends in obscure bands and me with my crappy backwoods studio have the right to have good gear and boast about it". It's the typical TB Amp forum Bass Cable Amp internet tough guy idiocy. I don't get it, why does anybody care what anybody plays with. If you are a rich kid and get to play with a les paul into an axe fx or a fender precision into an SVT, who cares. Who cares what ANYBODY plays with as long as it makes them happy. I mean, sure, I kind of question why someone would spend 70K USD to play a Custom Les Paul through a Dumble and a Klon, but, even then, whatever, as long as it makes people happy, whatever.

jia. i mean. i just meant (everbody really, but especially) kids should NOT worry about what fucking equipment they have. learn some shitty music. play some shitty music LOUD. learn less shitty music. play less shitty music EVEN LOUDER.

fair 'nuff, but a decade of meme association doesn't just go away because of real life, yo.

greaaaaaat. i've PIGEON-HOLED MYSELF. YAY.

..... that is such a fucking AWFUL phrase. i read too much Irving Welsh. Pigeon Hole makes me wonder what's under the feathers.

also, as he got older he apparently decided that working out, not drugs, are the cure all for ANY problem in someone's life. odd arc.

[D.o.S.]

I know a lot of people who've gone down that road, actually. It's just a different manifestation of climbing a peak without a summit.

Yeah, I totally get that. That's the way I see it, just go and have fun, don't spend your days trying to build the rig that will get the most upvotes on reddit

lol. i guess it bothers me mostly because i realizes how central drugs were to EVERY story he did, then it got to where there was always a character popping up and accidentally dosing an older, more straight laced person and suddenly THEIR WORLD IS PERFECT.


annnnnnd then the next two books of his i read were almost identical, but with fitness.
