Didnt think so! ;)

So.... Whats been up here lately? anyone remember me?

I got som new stuff... First of...

This:

Wonderful thing, plays great, sounds exelent and is about every thing i Could want. i love it...

Gone is my Ibanez Rodster RS900, and my Status Graphite 5er is as good as sold(5ers... there is a thing ill never pickup again....)
I also have sold my Rig(SWR 350 Red face head and Zeck By EVM 4x10 cab) and Replaced it with a Roland Cube 100B and a Sansamp Programmable Bassdriver DI, Sounds Great actually.

I have 2 new bands, one called "Beyond the Illusion" wich i kinda have had for some years, but first became something serriuse about now... thats a Melodic Thrash Metal band, Possibly a Agressive Power Metal band.... Dunno...

Then a band apparently called "The Fits", only had 2 practices with them so far... it seems like we are somekinda alternative rock, in the line of Soundgarden and Audioslave, with me occasionaly pretending to be John Entwistle...(though he probaly knew exactly what happened if he placed his fingers on that note...)

And im planing a new "Harris Bass" wich gonna serve as backup and "iron Maiden covers" Bass.
Gonna be Blue, mirror pickguard, 70's Fender P bass Neck, Badass Bridge and Dimarzio Willpower Pickups... i am considering black hardware, i think that would look awsome, but im not sure...

I live with my Girlfriend and i have a place to go to work, where people is nice, im pretty happy with life for the moment... even if i have gotten diabetes....
if you bothered to read all this, Congratulations!

The G&L looks hot! And it's kinda hard to go wrong with a sansamp. I often go the entwistle route myself. That is, if you mean standing completely still besides the fingers. The harris bass sounds pretty cool, but I'm not a big fan of mirror pg's. The only real benefit i see is the opportunity to blind audience members by reflecting the stage lights on to them. I have several friends who have diabetes, or have immediate family members who have it, and they all live pretty normal lives, other than the occasional insulin shot. Were you diagnosed since the last time you were around?

yeah, got the diagnose 2 weeks ago, but i have allready learned all i should, and do it all pretty well, so it isnt setting me back or anything, its just a little crappy that i have it, i want to be completely healty...

And by doing the entwistle, i mean playing all over the place :p

i sold the geddy before i quited going here :) thats why its not mentioned... i kinda miss it sometimes, but then i remember the gloss finish.... and my G&L have a Jazz bass neck(Satin finish, after this, i can never go back to gloss..) and sound better, but it can also do the geddy sound so... i got like... 5 basses in one...

Satin finish, after this, i can never go back to gloss..

ABSOLUTELY!

I'm very picky about necks. High-radius (shallow profile) and satin finish. One reason I love my fretless so much. The neck is just perfect.

its almost a year since i sold that P bass, It was replaced by the Status Bass.. im not sure if it was a mistake of me to do that, but ut of owning that status bass, i have decided i will buy a Status Graphite B2 in the future... but they are expensive, so its a little bit of time until i get that...

If that were a five string, I would definitely be in love with it.
