How threads progress.

[NancyJohnson]

Just an observation and thought for the day.

I find it quite amusing how, irrespective of the intial subject-matter, so many of the threads here just descend into the opportunity for people to post photos of their gear.

My wife asks me frequently whether I like looking at gear on here and my response is generally that I honestly do, but feel that you could be reading a thread with a title like, 'I lost my arm in a freak sawmill accident' and within a few posts people would be posting beautifully lit photos of their Shukers reclining on a sofa.

Right.  That's the today's message.  You can start posting bass photos now.  Go! Go! Go!

Can't possibly comment. Last time I said that people were more interested in the gear than the actual threads I was accused of trolling. 🙄

Agreed. It’s worse with vintage gear.

People with Pre-cbs fenders are like people with a degree from Oxford or Cambridge - they’ll always signs some way to drop it into the conversation.

This makes me feel like I've been failing to pull my weight. Apologises, and please accept this hastily taken photo as a token of my intent to become more diligent in this matter

...or they degenerate into J vs P; the merits of relics; you're wrong, I'm right stuff.  Obligatory random bass picture.

Oh yeah? That is just your opinion!!!!!

 

[Just in case : the above was an ironic comment about how someone in a thread will eventually say someone else's comment was 'just an opinion', even though the said comment was obviously intended as an opinion]

[BigRedX]

Or has been shown already, descend into fish-related puns.

[Doctor J]

That's ridiculous!

 

[TheGreek]

Photos of Bass, you say??

 

[Bassassin]

Yeah, but Status or Warwick?

Ah, but which piece of information does a vegan with a degree from Oxford/Cambridge with a pre-CBS Fender tell you first?

[TheGreek]

Vegan? Can't say that they mentioned it....

[stewblack]

And there it is. In record time too. 

The attack on the vegan.
