Basslines 2006; Who's coming?

[Radiobass81]

Yup...

EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know what it is:

http://www.berklee.edu/summer/bass.html

[Kibuddy]

I'll definitely try, but seeing as I have a major gear purchase (still) looming on the horizon, I may not be able to...

[Tryxx]

I should be, told my mom about it. I'd be going alone this year, so it should be cool. The only reason I won't be is if I take summer classes.

[Sade]

I am going, pretty much for sure.

I hope Gav will let me stay with him...

[Tryxx]

I'm pretty sure Gav is wanting to stay at the dorms this year.

[pukeboy66]

im going if im able to get a job

six places and not one has called me back >.<

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'd like to, but I don't think I'll be able to get together enough money for it.

770 USD, plus any money to do other stuff... just a wee bit expensive.

[Left Shoe]

ill be there, maybe not for basslines. it depends if i make the 5 week performance program. if i dont make it (or run out of cash, more likely) ill do basslines. buuuut yeah gavs my room mate, we are totally having sex.

[Manticore Guy]

Stupid 15 and up rules...

[PaulSimonon]

My application has already been sent in...



:)




Sade, you're coming? Nice to have you along...

[PaulSimonon]

BTW, Jorge, are you going to be in the dorms this year?

[BassVirtuoso]

I'm pretty sure I'm going this year.

[FunkMetalBass]

I will attempt to go. Now that I have a job, I can start saving for trips such as that. Hopefully I will have a GT-7 by then too, instead of my Brice.

[BassVirtuoso]

I will attempt to go. Now that I have a job, I can start saving for trips such as that. Hopefully I will have a GT-7 by then too, instead of my Brice.

It's unbelievably weird that I also have a brice 6 string right now, and I just got a job, and I got a job to get a GT-7 and go to basslines.

[Left Shoe]

pff 7 strings , go play guitar newb

[Bassinator89]

ill be there, maybe not for basslines. it depends if i make the 5 week performance program. if i dont make it (or run out of cash, more likely) ill do basslines. buuuut yeah gavs my room mate, we are totally having sex.

Whaa? thats scary.

[PaulSimonon]

I'll buy the Brice...

[Radiobass81]

I don't know if I'm going, actually :-/.

[PaulSimonon]

Actually, it's quite beautiful to watch them...

[FunkMetalBass]

Actually, I'm debating selling my brice. I'm also debating whether or not to get a 7-string.

By the way, to those of you who've gone, how many basses do you bring?

[Radiobass81]

One.

[FunkMetalBass]

Actually, I'm debating selling my brice. I'm also debating whether or not to get a 7-string.

By the way, to those of you who've gone, how many basses do you bring?

[:amaze:]

I'd like to, but I don't think I'll be able to get together enough money for it.

770 USD, plus any money to do other stuff... just a wee bit expensive.

Yeah, I'm in pretty much the same boat as you...




:amaze:

[PaulSimonon]

I only brought one. You NEED a gigbag; don't even try to tough it out with a hardshell.

[thelowsoundofbass]

i wish that i could, but its during exams (at least it was last year), and i am broke

lowsound

[Naveed Afzal]

yeah, i'll be there... geuss im getting the alcohol.

[FunkMetalBass]

I only brought one. You NEED a gigbag; don't even try to tough it out with a hardshell.

Could I bring both? Hardshell for the flight out and gigbag for carrying the bass around town?

[irishslappop]

i would really like to go but i am doubtful my parents will pay for it :(

[Left Shoe]

im bringing a hardcase. as long as it doesnt rain you should be ok. i mean its going to take some timing on your part if you dont want to drag it around with you. like you have to eat and have enough time calculated in to go back up to the room and grab your bass

[HaVIC5]

I don't know if I want to pay for it. By then, I will already have gotten into the school (or not).

But I'm still tempted if not for the bassing, for the MXers.

[Left Shoe]

in all truth havic, you know way more theory and things about bass than i do, and i didnt learn anything form the actual basslines program while i was there (except that bass players cant read music, and those that do cant read treble clef), everything i learned was from hanging with the kids from mx.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

If there's any way I can make it, I will. It's not terribly likely, though. I'm probably going to procrastinate about it until it's over, like last year.

[Wintermute]

It's quite a short session, for the price...

Obviously I'm on entirely the wrong continent to go, and transatlantic flights cost an arm and two legs. But next year I just might be able to go. I'll have to wait and see how life pans out. :)

[FunkMetalBass]

HaVIC, I'm the same. I would be going to chill with the other MXicans, not so much anything else (a week off work sounds good though).

[Sade]

Howabout we just all get together and hang the **** out? Screw basslines, let's just get together, and jam.

Maybe get some weed? I don't know, pure speculation.

[Left Shoe]

sade weve already had that in the plans for awhile =P

[Sade]

Aye aye, captain.

Bring alot. I mean alot alot. I mean, I'll do practically all of it on my own.

See, that's a bummer about living alone, and being completely broke. Your money goes towards stupid crap like your education, and your health insurance.

[Left Shoe]

im flying up there im not going to try and bring it with me, gav will have to buy some while we are there. so bring money to chip in

[Sade]

I might have to sell something....

Aye, it's worth it I reckon. I'm going to bring my loop pedal, so we can pretend Cil and Gabriel are there as well.

[azn_bassist]

ugh....i turn 15 in july.....mabie next year :(

[Jody LeCompte]

Howabout we just all get together and hang the **** out? Screw basslines, let's just get together, and jam.

Maybe get some weed? I don't know, pure speculation.
Man

Between weed and munchie food, we'd pay more than basslines.

Especially if Gav and Phil showed up, freaking stoners

[Lt Fuzzy]

that sounds awsome but the site says its 2 late to apply :(

[Sade]

We still need to have a Chicago bass day, for all the MN/WI/ILL forum goers. Other people should come, too.

[Jody LeCompte]

I mean seriously sade, weed everywhere else is unbelievably expensive. Members in the casual are like "I got a gram of some ok **** for 30 bucks, dude I love my connections!"

When I was paying 25bucks a G for some firey *** KB, two hits and bye bye bye.

[Sade]

Ahh darn it, weed is too expensive. I'm a leech.

Sorry guys, I'll be stealing your drugs.

[Loyton]

Im going. Even though im a poor drummer, and dont even play the bass.

(that makes alot of sence)



hey guys, wouldnt it be cool to have a drum/bass forum meeting, somewhere huge, and just jam out and smoke weed.

The guitarists can have thier own party with the vocalists, in a house of mirrors!

[Jody LeCompte]

I figure...how many days is basslines? Between 20 mxers yall would need about a ounce a day atleast. An ounce around here would run maybe $60 or $70 of fairly decent **** if you really wanted to spend that much, but everywhere else...ugh....I dont wanna think about it...

I say just make gav and phil bring their ****, they're in boston no?

And make danny bring some of his purple cream

Ill bring the harder stuff

[Sade]

Yah, Irish knows his weed.

Tell him to shackle down and bite the bullet for us.

[Bitchwax]

if I come up with the money, I'll definately be there.

bitchin' money.

im in ohio, and ive spent all morning trying to make a glass cap for a gravity. if it works it comes with us

[Linkinbassist]

I'd go, but being in britain is my one hitch...

[LewsTherin]

i dont think ill be going, but i live close-ish to boston, maybe i could sneak out there and meet up with you guys.

[sixner]

How much are the tuition and fees?

Tuition: $475
Housing: $270
Application Fee (nonrefundable): $25
^holy crap.. just for this clinic? I dont have the money for that... I could make the drive out there and stay with a friend in Seekonk... but yeah.. expensive

pff
-Sixner

[Tryxx]

I only brought one. You NEED a gigbag; don't even try to tough it out with a hardshell.

This is a fact. Those that went should remember that I carried my bass on my back, since I didn't have a hard case. I might do it again, that was easy enough... A gig bag would have been nice though.

Matt and I actually got into an argument over Kronic and Swag, accidently... It was funny. I called references to vouch for my pot knowledge.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

I'm liking Sade's idea a bit better. I think we need someone who lives in like Western New York or Ohio to have an mx party of some sort. Hanging out, playing bass, etc.

[super deluxe]

Sounds fun, but I think at that point I'll have to be working. :(

Besides, I'd be embarrassed for everyone to see how bad I actually play.

[Low_End_Communications]

I might try to attend this year. I'll be graduating high school, so hopefully I can talk the family into paying a good portion of my trip there. We will see though...

[Radiobass81]

Sounds fun, but I think at that point I'll have to be working. :(

Some guys didn't know what a bass clef ones. You'll be fine.

[super deluxe]

Heh...that and I'll feel old as dirt!


Whippersnappers these days...

[Radiobass81]

Yeah, almost-mid 20s. Over the hill :rolleyes:.

[PaulR]

I'm going to make the generic British MXer comment here.

"I'd love to go. But I live in the wrong country."

[super deluxe]

Yeah, almost-mid 20s. Over the hill :rolleyes:.

You make me laugh. I think I'm just feeling old at the prospect of being about to graduate university and get a real life.

[Radiobass81]

Getting a real life?

That kinda makes me sad... I don't even have a fake life, then :-/.

Completely out of topic and doesn't make sense, but...

[super deluxe]

Getting a real life?

That kinda makes me sad... I don't even have a fake life, then :-/.

Completely out of topic and doesn't make sense, but...

I mean a real life like now I have to find a career, new place to live, figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life.

The nice thing about when you're in school is that a lot of that is decided for you.

Maybe it's just my mid life crisis? :p

[Radiobass81]

You know, mid-life crisis usually occurs when you are middle-aged... :)

[LewsTherin]

You know, mid-life crisis usually occurs when you are middle-aged... :)

maybe she plans on dying young?

[super deluxe]

You know, mid-life crisis usually occurs when you are middle-aged... :)

Pft, details, details!


I just want an excuse to buy a muscle car and a trophy wife!



I mean...:eek:

[Guinpen]

psh, 'wrong country' is no excuse. last year there was that one guy from ireland that came all the way just to go for a week

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Don't forget Radio. All the way from Puerto Rico.

[Jody LeCompte]

Party at jodys house

Booze, pot, and homoerotica

[Spaceman Spiff]

I mean seriously sade, weed everywhere else is unbelievably expensive. Members in the casual are like "I got a gram of some ok **** for 30 bucks, dude I love my connections!"

When I was paying 25bucks a G for some firey *** KB, two hits and bye bye bye.
Wha???

A gram is $10 here, $15 if the person is a dick.

[Chaos]

ill be there, maybe not for basslines. it depends if i make the 5 week performance program. if i dont make it (or run out of cash, more likely) ill do basslines. buuuut yeah gavs my room mate, we are totally having sex.


I want in.:mad:

[FunkMetalBass]

Wha???

A gram is $10 here, $15 if the person is a dick.

I pay $45 a G. I don't buy weed though...

[Jody LeCompte]

Wha???

A gram is $10 here, $15 if the person is a dick.
A gram is 5 here, but I was buying some REALLY good ****

[Left Shoe]

ohio = 30$ for an eighth

[Spaceman Spiff]

ohio = 30$ for an eighth
No one here calls it an eighth, I've only heard it from you Americans on the interweb; here we call it a half-quarter. :eek:

[FunkMetalBass]

No one here calls it an eighth, I've only heard it from you Americans on the interweb; here we call it a half-quarter. :eek:

That is so...weird.

What is half of a quarter? one-eighth.

Which has less syllables? one-eighth.

I rest my case.

[Spaceman Spiff]

I think calling it an eighth sounds weird. You're weird. Weirdo.

[Jody LeCompte]

I think paying so much for plain ol weed is weird...

[Spaceman Spiff]

Who pays so much?
$10 is a lot for a gram? People sell it to make a profit, not lose money.
5 X 28 = $140
An ounce of decent pot will surely cost more than $140.
And the stuff I get is probably way better than the stuff you get in smelly Louisiana. :D

[Jody LeCompte]

^ One day, my friend, my red haired **** will blow your mind

[trumpeter]

If I can get the money I will be going.

[Naveed Afzal]

I mean a real life like now I have to find a career, new place to live, figure out what the heck I'm supposed to do for the rest of my life.

Maybe it's just my mid life crisis? :p

Im 21, and have my own place paid thru till Febuary, 2 bedroom apt, with a friend moving in January, so i'll actually be making money. Im Still in School tho, I took alot of time off :( so am I over the Hill Also?

so anyways... I'll bring the alcohol, the weed, and whatever else u need.

[Naveed Afzal]

And the stuff I get is probably way better than the stuff you get in smelly Louisiana. :D


The Further North, and The Further West you go, the better the weed.

Practically ancient!


Hey, but at least we can get into bars legally, right?

[BassVirtuoso]

I was playing at a party today. I might as well have stayed home because they didn't pay attention. Those wastes of human flesh.

[super deluxe]

Those wasted human flesh.

o rly?

[gregulus]

I don't smoke pot. Tried it several times, didn't like it, but I have to hand it to my friend. He made a bong out of a Sobe bottle. Somehow he broke a hole towards the bottom, made a carb with the cap and what he does is he fills the bottle with water, puts on the Sobe cap, lights the weed and lets the smoke take the place of the water and then hits it. It's a big it and it works well it seems.

[Naveed Afzal]

oh yeah, id much rather smoke weed legally tho.
