Companies to avoid for "reasons". Confine hate postin' here

At least BM has a friend in someone.

I mean, not all of us can condone alt-right sympathizers that have to derail every fucking thread that concerns a company they don't like because of their own apparent persecution complex.

Please reconsider this post.

I may not agree with a persons politics or opinions but less still will I tolerate bullying.

Pointing out that someone is a shameless troll, who constantly tries to smear builders and hurt their businesses is not bullying.

If someone is constantly singled out shamelessly for their opinion, is that not trolling or bullying?

It's not just cause of his opinions, it's also shit like this. At least for me.

Keep it super simple. Despite all these guys with thier huge boards over at TB, I can pretty much guarantee you that no one in the audience gives a shit about a bassist with a million pedals on their board. And no one wants to hear some wanker with his 5 envelope filters into a bass synth into a HPF/LPF with expression pedal input into a modulated reverb into a modulated delay. Bass should keep the lows intact and the fundamental pulse of the song pumping. Anything that gets in the way of that is for insecure losers, so many of which are represented over at TB. Buy one dirt, one fuzz and a Valeton coral mod for the .001 percent of the time you need a phaser/flanger/chorus/trem/echo etc.

This is a stranger on a forum, he is allowed to have differing views and there is only one rule here - Don't be an ass hole. This rule, applies both ways.

Yes, insecure losers is slightly harsh but BossMann has been warned to tone it down.

[actual]

Like i said, it's not really the differing views, cause then I probably shouldn't be talking, but fair enough.

Definition of bullying
: abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful

For someone to engage in bullying, it has to come from a position of strength or power. Arguing is not bullying. Protesting is not bullying. Calling someone out for being a troll who deliberately attempts to be disruptive and to instigate fights is also not an example of bullying.

So, I fell asleep.

I wouldn't say I've "constantly singled him out" and I wouldn't qualify disagreement and counter-argument as bullying.
Especially when it's in response to incendiary and antagonistic comments.

That's like saying the majority of the American public is bullying Trump because of his tweets and the shit he says.

You may love Louise Belcher but not everything has to crash and burn, please edit the post and don't have me do it.

And, yeah, I'm not happy with this new implication that you're protecting him after he started yet another shitfest in the forum and lashed out in response.
I don't know how you want me to edit my post beyond censoring it completely, so please do as you see fit.
I don't usually react this way, and that should be quite telling, but it's gotten to the point that I'm really sick of Manny coming in and taking a dump in the middle of the room.

Here's some of the noted trolling and antagonizing, by the way:

I just sold my TFR to buy the EH. You gotta love prymaxe and their coupon codes. Got mine for 64 bucks.

And LOL, just read the instagram post. I find it funny how many people literally kiss boutique pedal maker's asses in these posts. Constant stream of "Your's is so much better," and "no one meticulously crafts pot tapers like you do," and other kiss-ass pussy bullshit. Earth to pedal buyers.....boutique pedal makers are no better or worse than you and you should not kiss their asses. Jeez, I thought I was at a Talkbass convention while reading that Instagram post. It was entertaining though!

Thanks for posting that. Now I can add BATW to the list of companies I will never buy from and will slag at every opportunity I can get. I had a Revelation Superbass and it was a supreme piece of shit. Looks like the owner is a fascist nazi who believes in political terror and violence to finish all arguments. Way to go Antifa scum!!

LOL! Keep sucking the systems cock there Chankeez! Defending the bankers now? How revolutionary of you!! Amazing how dumb you fucking people are. Didn't the last 20 years of constant lies from the Government/Media complex teach you anything? Oh, I forgot, you're too busy "fighting the man" while being funded by "the man." Fuck off you absolute imbecilic infant(s).

Actually, never mind. Great pedal, but in searching around the builder is another one of these Antifa promoting/sympathizing scum. What's up with y'all in these groups. Are you that stupid that you don't realize you're being bankrolled by Soros and the bankers???? Anyhow, dude just lost a sale, not that it matters either way to him. Note to pedal builders.........stop promoting hatred and division. It's getting really stupid already.

I wish Soros would give me money.
Also what bankers? What the hell are you even talking about?
Finally: Who's up for starting a band called "Soros and the Bankers"? Our first single will be "Smash Racism", with the hit B-side "Financin' Dem Pedals (The Highlife)".

Well, if you want Soros to give you money, that means you'd take money from a self-admitted Nazi collaberator, making you a...............Nazi sympathizer. See how that works? How does it feel to be called a Nazi?

And all one needs to do is but a cursory search of the groups funded by the Nazi collaborator Soros and you'd see all the groups that are "resisting" Trump. It's not exactly a secret. It's really funny too because like him or not, Trump was elected as someone who was gonna clean out Washington DC finally after decades of rot, smash the politicians etc.....and y'all are sucking the fucking dick of the system in response. Fuck you fake revolutionaries.

Well, as much as I fucking despise the owner of LWA (and think he's a nazi and a fascist for wanting to violently assault anyone who disagrees with him politically), the LHWD is a killer pedal.

But having said that, the owner is a fucking piece of shit scumbag and I would never buy a pedal of his new. I bought mine used and was glad none of my money went to support a fascist.

Any other questions, PM me please. I don't wish to promote this piece of shit's pedals anymore than I have to. But honesty trumps all......it's a great pedal.

Getting back to music briefly, I stand by my statement that most people who play large pedalboards are doing it to compensate for lack of real talent, and that most "noise" sounds like a little baby having a temper tantrum. If only I could call a "time out" on all this garbage.

Dumbest Social Justice Warrior band ever getting owned by PJW. Triggered?

Abominable Electronics is another cunt who never fails to not only alienate his customer base but also is another dude advocating hatred towards their political opponents. He does make an HM2 though, but judging by the Demon Lung that I briefly owned before I realized what a douche he is his HM2 probably sucks as bad as the Demon Lung did.

Well, despite my thought that the owner/builder is a huge Daucheborg for advocating and encouraging violence against people, I must be honest and say the LHWD (deluxe version) is a stellar pedal.

Plus, as I said before I am boycotting any pedal builder that advocates political violence. Abominable Electronics is another major offender, but I've had two of his pedals and they both sucked so I wouldn't even buy used.

I just took a chance on a used Left Hand Wrath deluxe but I would never in a million years buy new due to the builder's penchant for advocating violence and harm to people who disagree with his political leanings. Very Nazi like and quite disturbing actually.

Or maybe "Hey, this is the 20th fucking message I've gotten from assholes on I love Fuzz telling me what a dick I am because they have more time than brains. Fuck these idiots!"

[fuzzonaut]

Woah! Keep calm and use pedals!

I just wanted to name Gojira FX as a company to avoid - because yeah, lots of reasons.

Those BM73 quotes are very disturbing though.

I think The Velvet Hammer is wrong here, Bosswhatever should be potty trained and he should only come back once he can show a certificate that he has followed through the course successfully.

This thread is a good idea, big up for Chanks.

[Iommic Pope]

Wow.
I never realised how awful, uh, certain members can be until all those quotes were lined up like that.

And Chank, how'd you manage to piss the Hammer off?
Jeez dude, you're just blowin shit up all the time. Its relentless. Just stop

Yeah, those quotes are absolute fucking bullshit. This far right trend for claiming any physical opposition to fascism is in itself fascist is tiresome as it is downright moronic. Infuriating. Fuck nazi sympathy.

[D.o.S.]

So does this mean Manny is one of DOS' aliases? I didn't think Chank loved any other poster enough for a tribute thread.

Chank is a great forumite but I'm sure he loves more posters than just me.

Speaking of Soyboys, John Jacobs (of CroMags fame) wrote a book called "meat is for pussies." About going vegan. I wonder if Bossman has read it? Might elucidate some things for him (and others).

[cherler]

My issue is when companies want to incorporate that 'time' into the price. So think of a pedal that cost $150 to make, a company has their standard mark-up, I just have issues where said mark up is an exuberant amount per a two - three year 'development period'.

Yeah, I've seen that mentioned sometimes and I think - What if you're just not very good at this and you spent a year working on something that would have taken someone else a couple of weeks?
But sometimes innovations take time to troubleshoot and I'm glad to pay someone to work out the bugs before releasing something.

Yeah I feel like I'd buy that from a company I trust, but no one else really. Starting out with that kind of shit is no way to build good faith.
