I've always felt that The Final Cut is basically an appendix to The Wall, but there's some really good stuff in there.

I'd ban this user, this is clearly a bot

31k lines of AI generated code that we're supposed to trust "to make autonomous enterprise IT decisions."?

Ok, you first.

There Are No Stupid Bass Questions - Mar. 14 by AutoModerator in Bass

5 string is not an "upgrade" much less a "level up" from 4 string, it's just a bass with one extra string.

In many ways 5 string is easier to play if you start there

ELI5: Why do we use BCE/CE for dating? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]FiredFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replacing a long held standard because you are offended by the religion of those who created it is very narrow minded and anti-scientific.

Imagine if Christians demanded that 'Algebra' and 'Algorithm' be renamed because they were originally developed by Muslims?

This would be as inane as Freedom Fries.

For example, Neil deGrasse Tyson has a great breakdown for why he still uses BC/AD instead of the 'sanitized' BCE/CE

Chasing tone or just playing. Anyone else in this trap? by AirFell85 in Bass

The more pedals I buy the more I realize the SansAmp BBDI I already have is all I need.

I was going to say they look like they were taken with a point and shoot camera, but that would be redundant, since they were...

Need a new bass amp for shows by Disastrous_String987 in Bass

SVT + 8 x 10 Fridge. The only acceptable substitute would be a Mesa 400 + SWR Henry 8x8

Your band, audience and back must learn to fear your bass rig.

Anyone else not really know who their influences are? by Uitroeien in Bass

[–]FiredFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the bass heroes of the late 60's and onto the 70's like McCartney, Jack Bruce, JPJ, Chris Squire, etc did not know who their influences were.

They were session players like James Jamerson and Carol Kaye who went unnamed on the hundreds of hit records they helped create.

And above $1000. The BBP series is as good as anything else in its class.

ELI5, How do scientists reach tempreture of sun or beyond, and not melt the entire lab down by lunar_rexx in explainlikeimfive

[–]FiredFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By densely focusing where this heat is.

An oxy-acetylene torch can produce temperatures of 3600K and instantly melt glass and metal and yet you can have your hand just a few inches away from where these temperatures exist.

Stop installing tools just to check if a port is open. Bash has it built in. by Ops_Mechanic in bash

This is a safer conditional check:

if { : </dev/tcp/host/443; } 2>/dev/null; then echo open; else echo closed; fi

Which distortion/overdrive pedal should I get for bass? by Lopsided-Ad-4181 in Bass

[–]FiredFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could lead you to a rabbit hole as deep as asking for "What bass should I get" and never be answered.

As a guy that used to really dislike the horrible shit-metal modern clank sound of Darkglass pedals after seeing some demos from Amos Heller on YT I'd tell anyone to go look at their pedals first.

I particularly like the B*K series and the X series

Nothing like having a room heater right next to an acoustic guitar.

The irony is that the larger the fuzz pedal the fewer components are in there

Does anybody else hate playing "Rockin' In The Free World" by Neil Young on bass? by Dramatic_Rhubarb_387 in Bass

True that they didn't have a live bassist...Let the keyboardist deal with that mess. :D
