Sounds wasn't great, but it seemed pretty decent. Good performance. :thumb:

The sound and video quality is way better on the same video uploaded to facebook. Youtube is awful. All you can hear is me anyway, haha. Ta duck :)

So check out my videos, duuuuuuuude!

I just got back from seeing the Weakerthans. Holy christ they were good.

never heard of em. what kind of music?

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17139014]I just got back from seeing the Weakerthans. Holy christ they were good.[/QUOTE]


I saw them last year. Great show.

I think my nex bass shall feature a carved mahogany wings with figured walnut top (1/8" laminate maple stripe in between the two), 5-pc maple/wenge neck, birdseye maple fingerboard, and matching walnut-top headstock.

I also want two MM-style humbuckers (maybe some Delanos?) and an Aggy OBP-3.

Anybody know of a 6-string MM-style humbucker that has pole pieces showing?

that's all i could really find :thumb:

Hmm, I don't know if aesthetics is worth a sacrifice in tonal quality. I'm really looking for something similar to a Wal pickup for a 6-string bass.

Build your own/commission someone to build it for you?

[quote=BenJammin;17140115]Build your own/commission someone to build it for you?[/quote]

That's also what I'm thinking. I'm in contact with Clint Searcy who bulit my 8-string pickups to see if I can get him to make two Wal-esque pups.

I'd build my own, but I'm not sure exactly what goes into their pups. I know they use an interesting form of humbucker (I believe they were stacked both vertically and were horizontally positioned) with a LPF of some kind.

So, I'm thinking about joining the forces/RCMP.

Opinions?

what else do you have going?

I've got a friend who joined. He really likes it.

Something about this is hilarious.

He gets the first bomb dropped on him on a business trip, then returns home just in time to get the second bomb. :lol:

Yeah, I'm going to an information session early next week. They say that its almost guaranteed that you will not be posted in Ontario or Quebec, which sucks but I think I'd manage.

The pay is pretty good and I have some friends who are also interested in it.

Yeah, usually you don't get posted in your home province right away. After a few postings, though, sometimes it can happen. Plus you can retire after 25 years (going in young, that puts you at ~45) so you can do whatever the hell you want afterwards, and with a sweet pension at that.

Dang, I didn't know you could retire that early. I knew the same about the military, but that's awesome.

You answered your own question about the MM pickups. Delano will make 6 string MM style humbuckers. And they are great.

Poor bas[COLOR="Black"]t[/COLOR]ard. :(

Lucky to live to 93 so far though. Two nukes and he still ain't dead. :eek:

I wonder how his mind was affected by that though. Seeing one of the most horrific things imaginable happen twice in a few days.

Do they have punchy/growly mids that cut through? I really don't want to end up with Barts again. I hate the ones on my Conklin.

That's not bad at all. Not that I'd want to do it, but it sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

So, I'm moving out in May.

I'm pretty stoked. It also means that I can't spend my money like a tool anymore :upset:

I've also got the next month to save/pay off my credit card. Hopefully I can milk my parents for some money to cover the U-Haul or something.
