From the description of the forum:
“For all non-bass chat. No politics. No religion. Play nice.”
Emphasis mine.

Yeah. I’m not normally a forum cop but please don’t bring the complete and utter shitshow of US politics into this nice place.

I am not a fan of the new layout on TalkBass.

It’s cute that a bunch of older bass players feel the need to poll if the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone is a good pedal.

The answer is obviously yes, if we’re talking about guitar.
I’m sure it’s a good bass pedal if you have a crossover, use it on the higher freqs, and keep the low freq part clean.

Right. I saw that and was like “there is a controversy here? that’s funny.”
TB has changed its format and has me running into walls. I’ve been a member for a while.

I got banned once for posting about string breakage without warning. I still think it was ridiculous. Never had that happen on any other forum.

I check TB occasionally, but don’t post there anymore. The only two threads worth the time are the Fender Rumble Club and the Rumble 40 Studio and 800 Stage threads. A ton of useful info in the Rumble Wiki.

Agree 100% with the sentiments on this board. TalkBass is run by a bunch of pompous “you know whats” that have no interest in anyone’s ideas but their own, and it doesn’t take much to get their little feelings hurt…lol

I’ve been getting less and less out of TB. My days of making an annual contribution are over. I was banned three times over the years. I understood one, but the other two? No clue. Bah bye!

I got banned due to “spam” and since last year, I never found how to contact the “administration” . I might have answered to a post, shortly without hurting anyone’s feelings. Amateur forum anyway

I actually used to be a TB-er and it was, well…not very helpful. The people there, are so stuck to their opinions, that, basically their opinions become facts, and if you aren’t following their opinion, turned fact, you’re doing somethin’ wrong.

If you are able to just ignore the people who always shout “carrot”, there are nuggets to be found and good input/experiences. You just need to crank you bullshit filter rather high…

I no longer search new topics. I just check topics I’m subscribed to. Over the years, I’ve been banned twice, both times for really minor reasons. I finally decided I wanted nothing more to do with the choir boys running it and canceled my annual support.
