Starting to find repeats here on TB

[JGbassman]

I don't mind the discussion, in fact if I can help with an answer it's all the better. I've learned so much over the years, I might as well help some others out, and when the truly smart ones here speak, I never try to miss out on some new knowledge.

Did you mean ll: Repeat :ll ?

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 comment more than anything else. Everything old is new again (except me!)

Alas even this very thread topic has been done before.

It's all about building a knowledge base and moving bass playing forward IMO. I don't mind rehashing discussions. Sometimes they even change my mind!

When the primary subject is bass, kinda only so many things you can cover. Stuff is bound to repeat.

It's TalkBass, not RememberBass.

Oh that's a classic - now, if I can only remember it!

The search tool here still sux, so I use Google a lot and find what I need that way. And I LOVE resurrecting zombie threads!! Wouldn't that be better than posting the same thing again? I mean, come on, aren't a lot of folks on here into vintage equipment? Why not vintage threads??

I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing the irony in posting a thread that is a repeat pointing out that other threads are repeated frequently.

Anyone else use panasonic dollar store 9volts? Let's start a club! !

I'll join that club.

I buy the "no-brand" or the ones with Chinese writing and Dragons all over them. They don't last nearly as long as Big Battery name brands, but I'm convinced that they make my Keeley modified TS9 sound better.....

This is good because I struggle to remember what I had for breakfast some days (and I always have cereal)!

 

[BurnOut]

The repeats allow me and other new folks to comment and be a part in subjects that have been covered before.
If I was to do that on an old thread, I would get the bringing back a Zombie Thread beat down.

I rarely venture out of my established group threads.
I guess I need to read the main page threads more.

 

[RichardW]

I don't know about anyone else, but I never tire of reading about band drama and good gig stories.

To the OP's point, why should TB be different from any other platform of human interaction? Thousands of years on and we are STILL arguing about religion, race, culture, food, etc. Technology changes, humans not so much.

If you're mentoring then you answer the questions presented, even repeats.

You can even gather hundreds of links, categorize them and create a Wiki page so newbies can gave a reference source. Oh yeah, I did that.

See the link in my sig.

If you build it, they will come.

I remember this one time at band camp..................

Need more club threads for obscure accessories, Morale is low.

I buy all of my AA and AAA batteries from the dollar store. And yup, they’re Panasonic (I heard that they are the largest battery manufacturer in the world). I don’t use pedals, so don’t need 9 volts.

 

[smogg]

I'm hardly a veteran here but I think it's great to see new folks and try to be welcoming and helpful.
Even when the same old questions get asked I much prefer to find a helpful link or whatever... I hate seeing 'use the search function' as a reply...

PA-LEEEEEEZE! use the search function before addressing me. And if you must address me directly please refer to me as "oh wise one" or "your majesty."
That is all, carry on.

If you're going to teach, and hopefully you are, you gotta expect a new crop of noobs every year or so. They'll be starting out with next to no knowledge and need all the help they can get. I've felt the same as you, that I'd learned all that TB had to teach. I've put in my.02, expressed opinions, offered advice. And for that reason I've been flamed, ridiculed, put down and harassed. But I've also been thanked, appreciated, etc. I guess I'll keep on lurking, something pops up every so often that needs comment.

Get your mind out of the gutter. This is a family site.

Separately: The gear sections tend toward the repetitive and the argumentative; my easy solution is to not read them. I read and do my best to contribute to the management and gig topics, since those are of interest to me, and once in a great while I may even have something useful to say, although I try not to make a habit of it.

And in times of personal stress, I find it soothing to read the Classifieds.

 

[BlueShox]

Perhaps these topics are worthy being revisited every now and again.

 

[Killed_by_Death]

Yeah, I get a case of Déjà Vu often, & sometimes just skip if it if I know I've already answered that question a dozen times already.

We were all new to TB at one time. Be patient. Be kind. It's kind of like kindergarten...

All kinds of THIS! ↑ ↑ ↑ !!!

I met a couple of nasty "teachers" on my first day here. It wasn't pleasant but I'm sure they felt it was their duty to tell me what to think, do and say. At least they sounded like they did and it did leave a lasting impression of my first time here.
I got over it, never forgot it, but a nice "first day" would have been much more positive in the long run. I like seeing so many new folks on what seems a continual basis.
