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

So. The new Captain America trailer. I love super hero stuff but I feel like I'm the only one who thinks that movie looks boring as shit. Like nothing special, just a generic action movie.

The other Captain America stuff has been good so I'm maintaining high hopes.

Tool and Primus are touring together.

Word on the street is Behnders is going to every show and funding it with parkinglot tentacle massages.

I HAVE BEEN FORWARDED THEIR TOUR DEETS BY SO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE.

IT'S CUTE.

Well my trusty XP-100 Whammy finally has started shitting the bed, which isn't bad considering how freaking old the thing is. So I held my nose and ventured over to Talkbass to find a used reissue Bass Whammy, since I've wanted to try one of those bad boys. And I realized that this is my first real gear purchase in well over a year. Unbelievable how much gear I bought between like 2009 - 2013 vs the last couple of years for me when I bought basically nothing. I also realized it had been well over a year since I changed my strings so I went and bought 3 new sets from Circle K, which I guess got renamed to Kalium strings sometime in the last year or so.

the bass whammy is good, kind of sterile clean by itself but amazing pre/post dirt. tracks well too. Kalium make great strings, I need to order some myself for my Nelson bass, their guitar strings are amazing as well.

Yeah I always use the whammy -> fuzz in everything, never clean.

As for Kalium/Circle K, I've used their strings exclusively for about 4 years now. Now that I've used balanced sets for so long, it feels strange to me when I play someone else's bass strung with normal tension.

what the fuck is a balanced set of strings

Helps magic tone fingers stay in tacked.



Balanced tension across the neck

[bigchiefbc]

what the fuck is a balanced set of strings

Equal tension on each string. Sounds like that should be the norm, but it isn't for some weird reason. On a normal set of strings, the low strings are floppy and the high strings are really tight.

[D.o.S.]

yeah that sounds disastrous tbh.

[ChetMagongalo]

it's not

lol. fuck TB. commented on Spencer ripping off Douglas like a little bitch, never said anything harsher than he was a doucher. i've now got an infraction for trolling, one for cursing (which is ODD since the post they quoted had no harsh language at all), one for questioning a mod publicly, then another for repeated violations.

place is a shit pool any more. even the effects forum blows. meh.

and really? any site that you can't even publicly QUESTION a mod's actions? pfffffft no wonder they have such power hungry little nubblets running things.

[MSUsousaphone]

Yeah. While doing the secret santa thing I realized I haven't bought a pedal in almost two years. Crazy. But yeah. Kids are expensive.

I posted for Myco on TB about a month ago and the responses were basically "wait, there's a bass OD not made by Darkglass?"

[behndy]

lulz. annnnnd i just got banned. for writing something like "another innocuous post removed. i really missed this place. some good people in the efx forum, the rest of how this site rolls...... dunno.".

Behndy has repeatedly used bad language in his post. Can someone give this guy an infraction?
