Casual 35 - Bass is Pretty Neat

[Wintermute]

And....

Go!

[PaulR]

Woop.

So, I've got the first post. Any requests for what I should put here? :eek:

Everyone listen to Ben, he needs 5 plays before 2000.

No excuses gogogogogoogogo.

Horses

[AlmightyPancake]

I like horses.

[FunkMetalBass]

Stop changing the casual, b*tches. I was watching some pwnage vid and it was interrupted by the smell of Casual 35.

[BenJammin]

I had to be alerted by Paul.

How sad is that?

[nicatterberry]

Hello there.

[Polyamarous]

Huzzah!

I have AB+ blood. Which I@m told is one of the rarer types.

[BenJammin]

Man.

This casual is not moving very fast at all.

Thanks for the advertising Paul. It's always better when you don't have to ask for it.

[FunkMetalBass]

Yep. Now I shall kill you and steal it.

[PaulR]

No problem. Any other requests for me to put in the first post anyone?

[Rasta Rocker]

Anyone wanna help a brother out in the Lutherie and Modding forum? My thread is titled Bass Project pre planning.:wave:

[FunkMetalBass]

If I ever get famous for anything related to music (Bahahahaha...haha...), you're definitely going to be responsible for my advertising campaign.

Mostly becaues you're persistant.

[PaulR]

And irritating.

I imagine people would do things to shut me up, aha.

You can say things about my brother if you want.

[FunkMetalBass]

Alright ben, I just listened to 3 of your songs. Happy?

[BenJammin]

Alright ben, I just listened to 3 of your songs. Happy?

Am I ever.

Did you actually like it, though? Lol. All of this whoring is pointless if nobody likes it. :p

[FunkMetalBass]

Nope, didn't care for it. I thought alot of it was WAY too fast and lacked emotion. Your myspace = wankery on ice.

[PaulR]

So, my band has 3 tracks recorded and roughly mixed, Ben has 2000 + plays and I got the first post in the casual.

My work for today is done, I'm going to bed - so, so tired. Night gang.

Damn.

Guess I'll slow it down some.

[FunkMetalBass]

Yes, please. I can't stand when you try to pull all of that Sheehan sh*t on me.

[BenJammin]

Yes, please. I can't stand when you try to pull all of that Sheehan sh*t on me.

I knew writing songs at 100bpm was only going to bring about trouble.

[FunkMetalBass]

I knew writing songs at 100bpm was only going to bring about trouble.

Exactly. 60 and less, man. Also, let's TRY to stay away from quarter notes or anything faster, okay?

I'm sorry.

[FunkMetalBass]

It's okay, Benny.

**pats on head**

[FunkMetalBass]

So, anybody get that "Sink the Putt! Get a free iPod" ad going on uptop? If so, how the f**k do you make him harder? All I can do is click and watch the ball move a millimeter.

[BenJammin]

Nah, I've got "Click The Red Spider! Get a free Ipod!"

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Keep clicking.

[FunkMetalBass]

Seriously? That sucks. It's a horrible ad if you can't change power.

[ChimPz]

Keep clicking.
I just keep getting Spongebob.
...
Yup, Spongebob again
...
And more Spongebob

[mastrrbasser]

[FunkMetalBass]

Try venturing into other threads and forums, when you get it, see if you can figure anything out other than pointless, incessant clicking.

Does anyone want to record something fast with me for the comp?

My anticlimactic impersonation of Bootsy Collins playing Black Sabbath

[Radiobass81]

... Hewitt vs. Nadal. :upset:

My favorite player, against (arguably) the toughest guy in clay.

I'm routing for Hewitt, but I just hope he can beat Federer (or someone else take him on the way). If Federer getst he French title, that's the fourth slam in a row, and Wimbledon is pretty assured for him as well, and... :upset:

[BassVirtuoso]

Well Federer is world number one right now.

I dont like Hewitt because he seems like a bit of a moron though... still, go Australia.

[Az_Holl]

I have no idea what you're talking about.
The tennis.

[Radiobass81]

Well Federer is world number one right now.

I dont like Hewitt because he seems like a bit of a moron though... still, go Australia.
Even if he is number one, he's not meant to win 5 grand slams in a row! That's never even been done before. And there's only 6 people who have actually won all four. I don't mind if he becomes the seventh, just not this year.

And Hewitt is the 10th most hated athlete in the world. He's by far my favorite player, and then comes Kiefer and Henman.

[BassVirtuoso]

Tennis wtf.

I dont even like tennis that much, im just forced to watch it every year when the Australian Open is on.

I dont want Federer to lose though, he seems liek a pretty cool guy.

geez.

Federer has grown on me A LOT, but I just think the hype is killing me, and I want him to loose the French and seem a bit more "mortal".

I was routing for Hewitt on the Australian as well. Federer deserved that one, though. Him or Haas.

[Radiobass81]

Davydenko.
Davydenko is great (other of my favorite players), but Gaudio is great in clay (although he's playing "meh). It'll be a tough one.

You know what? Davydenko should win a slam... That'd be great.

Do you want to look extremely talented?

[Pinhead13]

So I just took an IQ test.

It's all a lie...

http://uk.tickle.com/test/iq/intro.html

Your IQ score is 99!
Word Warrior

You are equipped with a verbal arsenal that enables you to understand complex issues and communicate on a particularly high level, making you a Word Warrior. Your command of words is so powerful that you are also a terrific communicator -- able to articulate big ideas to just about anyone.

The power of words translates to fresh ideas off paper too, in both artistic and creative pursuits. This allows you to be a visionary -- to extrapolate and come up with a multitude of fresh ideas.

i know, i've heard his more groovin' stuff. Long walk home is a killer track, but it seems that people only like his fast stuff sometimes. Should i replace him with mark king? sheehan's a good guy, i've seen some video lessons of him, and he's really down to earth, i jsut with people would mention his slow stuff sometimes.

yeah i wasn't going to change it. I just wanted to make fun of mark king too. I'm tired of his stuff too. Every slap solo is pedaling a low e in a 16th pattern whilst hammering onto the octave with some dominant sevenths. That's what it sounds like to my ears anyways.

[Thonk]

Watch your mouth. Chris may be lurking.

[mastrrbasser]

what really bugs me is that people are like WOOOHH BILLY SHEEHAN, WOOOH MARK KING, WOOOH JACO PASTORIOUS, but all we hear about is chromatic fantasy, teen town, mr pink, addicted to that rush. They actually have BASSLINES that no one ever seems to notice.

Since we're on the topic of vegetarians, haven't scientists proven that vegetarianism actually KILLS more animals than meat-eaters do?

That's an intersting theory, more info?

[The Brad]

It has something to do with their soy farms ruining the ecosystems in the area and/or the harvesting methods killing off animals in the process.

Hahaha, hypocrits.

I was visiting the New England Aquarium a few months back, where I was angry over the ridiculously steep entrance fees to go check out a bunch of fish. I can check out the fish for free at my local supermarket, where they are conveniently packed on ice, making them much easier to see than when they are hiding behind coral and rocks.

The only way I could think to fight back at the $40 admission charge was to sign my credit card receipt "Shamu."

Now, someone should have caught this. First of all, everyone knows that Shamu works at Sea World. Second, how could Shamu accurately render a scale drawing of himself? That kind of penmanship would be unlikely from a creature using only its vestigal fins.
I :lol: 'd SO HARD at that.

So, the maker of Zug.com decided he was fed up in paying at the Toll booth.

Experiment #3. The next time I went through, I decided to just write them an I.O.U., and tape it to the toll booth. I signed it "Mariah Carey," because I figured she can afford the extra dollar.

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070403_masspike_iou1.jpg http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070403_masspike_iou2.jpg

Nothing happened.

This is great! I thought. All these years, I've been paying tolls, and it turns out they're optional! What other creative payment options could I use to pay my tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike?

Experiment #4. This time, instead of throwing in $1.00, I decided to tape two pictures of rap superstar 50 Cent, because that adds up to a dollar:

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070803_masspike_50cent.jpg

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070803_masspike_50cent2.jpg

As I drove away, I kept nervously glancing in my rear view mirror for the Toll Booth Police, or 50 Cent's posse, but the sad truth is that nothing happened.


And it continues in the next post...

[FunkMetalBass]

...cont'd

Experiment #5. For my next experiment, I made sure to check the toll booth sign, which reads "$1.00 COINS ONLY NO BILLS PENNIES OR CANADIAN COINS." (With all that toll money, you'd think they could afford some punctuation.) Fortunately, the sign makes no mention of other foreign coins, which is the loophole I used for my next experiment. I consulted an online currency calculator to get up-to-the-minute exchange rates, then tossed in the following coins:

1 Indian Rupee ($0.02 U.S.)
15 Thai Baht ($0.36 U.S.)
11 Singapore cents ($0.06 U.S.)
1 Finnish Marka and 200 Italian Lira (no longer used, since the Euro came to town)

That only added up to 44 cents, so I threw in a couple of Chuck E. Cheese tokens as well.

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070803_masspike_foreign.jpg

When I went through this time, I heard the toll booth operator shout something that sounded like, "WALP!" I had been trying my little experiments at the same toll booth, so maybe he recognized my car, or maybe he was choking on a thick slice of ham. I didn't stick around to find out -- I got the WALP out of there.


Experiment #6. In olden days, one could directly barter goods and services without the aid of money. So I bought a couple of oranges from a local convenience store, which cost me about a dollar.

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070803_masspike_oranges1.jpg

In my next run through the Mass Pike toll booths, I threw in the oranges.

http://www.zug.com/daily/journal/graphics/070803_masspike_oranges2.jpg

They sat in the bucket, where I assume they remained until a Fruit Collection Officer came by to pick them up. I'm sure he enjoyed their plump, juicy wedges -- after he removed the thick, encrusted peels that had been defiled by thousands of nasty-*** coins.

Basically, Zug.com = my new homepage. :thumb:

[Criss Frantic]

That stuff's great :lol:

[funkyhoney]

why didn't i know about this webpage sooner :confused:

[FunkMetalBass]

I was thinking the same thing when BenJammin posted it all earlier.

http://www.zug.com/pranks

Try the credit cards, and ESPECIALLY the power book prank.

I literally almost pissed my pants at it.

[Damrod]

Ok, so I get up and the first thing I spot is that I once again slept through a spam bot attack on MX :upset:

Anyways, 'sup new casual? :wave:
Is this going to become a war about the thread name, again? :)

[FunkMetalBass]

spambot? where at?

How the f**K did I miss that?!!?!?!?!?

Was it in the pit?

[Damrod]

From all I could gather all over the place, bumping threads from back in 04. I don't know exactly what forums it was in detail. But Pit, S&L, Media Center for sure

[skingle]

Sup casual.

[Corkofski]

sup folkestone

[FunkMetalBass]

Sounds wicked hardcore.

Wish I'd been there.

But sadly, I was dumb and wasn't.

Meanwhile, I'm off to bed. Night y'all!

:wave:

[Damrod]

So I undug the Bullet for my Valentine record :upset: Damrod and his guilty pleasures...

Saw a Metallica concert yesterday live from Rock am Ring though, they played for about at least 2 hours, and though I'm not really a Metallica fan, the show was quite good

[peeted]

this thread title rivels "casual 33 my bass is made from a tree" for best ever thread title!!!

[Damrod]

But it does not rhyme :(

I'm envious of the Chrono Trigger avatar. I may try and get one. I've got tons of CT gifs...

So, that leaves Robo, Magus, Ayla, and the two girls (forgot their names)...

Or maybe Tata. Tata was neat.

Robo! I covered the robo theme, it's probably my favorite theme song ever aside from Scars of Time.

I could resize this...

Ayla is the best.

[Radiobass81]

I remember. I was EXTREMELY jealous when you played the Robo thing on an AIM jam. :p

I'm thinking Ayla, as my post above shows...

[PaulSimonon]

So, I want a song to play and I can't think of one... I need one I've got to work at, has quick arpeggiated runs up the neck but keeps a nice groove down low for the majority of the peice. Must be playable on a 4 banger too...

[Radiobass81]

Screw fast arpegios, and just learn "Frankly, Mr Shankly" and "This Charming man".

You know you want to.

[PaulSimonon]

I already learned (and forgot) Frankly Mr. Shankly, and I want something to work on, probably to play at my audition for Basslines.

[Radiobass81]

I played an original at Berklee.. :-/

Some Jamiroquai?

[PaulSimonon]

Urgh, don't have any recordings of them and I'm lazy...

[Radiobass81]

YouTube.

[Jody LeCompte]

Hmm, I missed church today.

Moms gonna kill me

Oooof... I don't even know if I dig them or not...

[Jody LeCompte]

I have to go to school all next week.

Gay.

Afternoon all.

Agreed. Melt. Humid. Nasty.
