Basschat's Law

[essexbasscat]

2nd law of Basschat. It's only a question of time until someone mentions Barefaced. See I did it ........

[sunburstjazz1967]

Thou shall not comment on Barefaced threads unless you;
A-add something positive.
B-Own and gig a BF cab.

If you do not meet the above criteria you are;
A-jelous.
B-trolling.
C-wrong.
D-using it incorrectly.
E-have the wrong amp for the cab.
F-have the wrong amp for your chosen genre.
G-have the wrong cab for the genre.

:-D

[3below]

Just to finish

H - Averse to HEFT ™
I - of weak mental disposition
J - financially challenged
K - unable to use strap handles
L - do not like loud clear bass
M - using the wrong basses
N - sonically challenged
O - unable to admit your other poor purchases
P - a bedroom player
Q - using your existing cabinets as part of a body building regime
R - deluded by the advertising of other manufacturers
S - not using a flat EQ
T - in a highly lucrative endorsement deal with another organisation
U - underpowering your cabinet
V - misguidedly worshipping false cabinets
W - locked in the 1980s 1990s 2000s 2010s using a smiley EQ (circle as needed)
X - in need of scuffed / torn tolex for the RnR look
Y - wanting a 'Fridge' since everyone uses a 'Fridge' because 'Fridges' are cool
Z - thinking that 10s and 12s are too fast compared to 15s and 18s

Choose reasons to suit own situation from the above, please feel free to add other reasons I was tempted to add 'Free of GAS' as a possible choice, however this seems so improbable and is thus a negligible value choice.

Having one Dubster in my possession, I am at a loss what are you using 2 x Dusbters for? Stacked or V plated ?

If one purchases TKS cabs after claiming all of H-Z previously they are exempt from questioning, lol.

[taunton-hobbit]

Thanks 3 Below - currently my Dubsters are living in my lounge, along with a couple of Mackie C200s and some Ormats....I can frighten people at about 1/4 mile distance (with the windows closed).........

Nothing about how it was better back in the day or using music stands?

Had not factored in string choice in the Barefaced A-Z. Serious omission which will be addressed in volume 2

The answer to all threads asking about leads shall be "OBBM" within the first three replies.
Swift and terrible shall be the smiting of those that raise challenge to this response by making thine own.

I'd love this thread on talkbass.

Rule number one: "Get of my lawn"
Rule number Two: "G&L have that covered"
Rule number three: "Mods have added a schematic to accurately counter an over productive sense of humour...this mod is mandatory"

'70s USA Precisions are rubbish, unless you've got one (see my sig), which is invariably the exception that proves the rule.

[CamdenRob]

I posted the BC commandments in another thread last week...

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1461590867' post='3035895']
1) Thou shalt ask the weight of every bass for sale regardless of whether one intends to buy the bass in question.
2) Thou shalt not criticize barefaced products, they we're crafted by angels from trees felled in the sacred forest and are beyond reproach ... especially the handles.
3) Thou shalt ask which bass is best for metal at every opportunity.
4) Thou shalt start a new thread discussing the merits of relicing if the previous one has received no replies for a period of 3 days.
5) Thou shalt suggest gear thy currently own to anyone asking a which bass / which amp / which pedal is best question.
6) Thou shalt always refer to thy vintage Fender as "one of the good ones"
7) Thou shalt declare a "final price drop" a week after listing a bass for sale and withdraw it in a huff a couple of days later if it does not sell.
8) Thou shalt reply "it's all in the fingers" to any thread discussing tone.
9) Thou shalt declare all class D amplifiers to be lacking in "Heft"
10) Thou shalt advise anyone asking about upgrading their gear to spend the money on lessons instead.

... oh and

11) Thou shalt buy all thy cables from OBBM.
