    How many TB members do you currently have in your "ignore" list?

    Not asking anyone to divulge who they are but I can't help but wonder if there's one member who holds the title of Most Ignored and who it would be. :headphone:

    Nervous about buying a bass on TB

    Just as the title says I want to buy a bass from a TalkBass classified but I'm worried about it for a few reasons. 1. I haven't had my hands on it and it's too far away to try before buying. 2. What is something is wrong with it? Does TB get involved with transactions at all like eBay? Will...

    Seeking Band Management advice from TB

    I am looking for advice and thoughts from the TB collective concerning my current band situation. About a year and a half ago I started a cover band that plays rock, blues and some country. We started out as a three piece. The guitarist/vocalist has always been in other bands besides this...

    Time for some TB advice

    Looks like I'm gonna be trading an old parts jazz bass for a ampeg portaflex 2x10. I'm now on the hunt for a head for said cab. I currently play an SWR SM400 through an acoustic bn410. To be honest I love the way that rig sounds. I don't wanna go out and grab another sm400 because well, what fun...

    TB notifications, somebody is following me.

    Since I have absolutely no idea what it means to be followed by a member, I'm assuming the worst, and that it's akin to stalking, and I'm keeping my garbage locked up, and my shades drawn. Notice to all members- I have a big dog.

    TB approved vertical stack?

    Forgive the mess in my garage. For the record it sounds amazing like this. I've played them horizontally too, this is a bit better.

    NDB - New bass is here - Grass Roots - need info from the TB Hive mind

    So, I saw this bass on eBay back in February (pics with white background) and the seller was in Japan. The listing was pretty much "Grass Roots bass by ESP" with pictures. I don't now why but I was kinda drawn to it, like it needed me or something. I made some inquiries about shipping and the...

    Just Got My Ten Year Pin from TB

    Just got my ten year pin from TB and I have a few thoughts. Although still part of my morning read I don’t find much new here. When I started on TB I was lugging Ampeg iron around, without a cart, techs did my setups, and no pedals. I was an accomplished player in a crowded market and TB made...

    Why I'm leaving TB forums...

    Well, I needed an excuse. ;) My time in limbo is thankfully coming to an end. I'll be back in production and music related work. I'll probably become active again if I ever find myself in a similar situation. What a terrifying thought! This is good news for me. TB has helped me fill a seemingly...

    Elevating TB From A 10 To A 10+?

    First off, I’d like to address some of the members (myself included) who have stated casually in other threads that TB has a lot of the same posts…which strings or bass…etc. Then I realized several sites much larger than ours also have a handful or so of recurring topics that ultimately become...

    Wanted Nash jazz pj red that has bounced around on tb

    There is a red relic'd Nash jazz bass that was converted to a pj and the the white pickguard has a truss cavity route. I want it. If you have it and want to let it go, reach out. Otherwise, I have to create a bass like it.:) Thanks!

    Your favorite TB member names

    I've always liked the name @Mildew Jones and I just saw @Tony B. Filthy which is good, too, so I wonder what other good ones we have among us. Mildew wins for subtle grossness and perceived/implied sloth, though. What's your favorite TB name?

    Are the TB classifieds less active than they used to be?

    I've been gone for a handful of years and am getting the sense that the TB classifieds are less active/effective than they used to be? Is this the case...or is it a false perception on my part?

    TB dark mode display mode

    Try it, you might like it. Better contrast. When brightness is increased, the background brightness does not. Colored fonts are easy to see. Way less light at night to possibly affect your sleep.

    Most practical TB revelation

    Ok TB. What have you learned/discovered here that has had the most significant impact on your bass experience? Off the top of my head: Dunlop Super Brights and the Quilter BB800. Oh and not scooping the mids ;) Thank you, TalkBass!!

    Starting to find repeats here on TB

    On the plus side, a fresh crop of bassists seem to be joining us here on the best bass guitar forum on the planet. The down side is that all the same arguments, questions and thought starters are coming back up. Why Fender? P or J? Pick or Fingers? Maple or Rosewood? Ampeg or Boutique? Just a...

    It's been real TB

    After the better part of a decade, I'm tired. Sure, it's been fun checking out so many different basses, and buying and trading, but there comes a time where a man gets tired and needs to settle down. A time where a man can be with someone he can count on, someone he can make beautiful music...

    gibson TB / SS V bass pickups difference in tone

    I have a 1990 Gibson Thunderbird IV I bought new. Just lately I put a hipshot bridge on it and man what a difference. The sound and sustain are much sweeter! I love the tones I can get from it which bring me to a question. I bought one of the Gibson short scale Flying V basses back in 2011 and...

    Here's the eBay banner ad I see when I'm on TB

    Two bass guitars I had looked at, three more bass guitars I had not looked at, and a predator mask. What the ... ? I don't know whether to be confused because that association makes no sense, or impressed because I kind of like the predator mask. How did they know that?

    Good deal with xabicho! We swapped my Pedulla Rapture V for this sweet Fender Elite Jazz! I really dig the electronics in this bass. It sounds great, looks great and plays great! The Rapture I traded had about the best playing neck on earth and of course Pedulla tone. So I think we both...

    Thread for TB quotes that make no sense or are just funny out of context....

It's one of those things that's kind of funny IN CONTEXT, but makes NO SENSE whatsoever without the benefit of context. So, let's deposit all of those quotes in one place. Rules.... 1) It has to be an actual quote...

    TB Bassists who sing lead videos
