That's kinda funny. I love how the Aussie crew is getting out of school around the time I go to bed. And Hobbes will be on any time now, just getting started at work. That will never get old. :lol:

For serious.[/QUOTE]

thanks. it took me a while to arrange, but i'm happy with the results.

13 left. I wonder what my posting distribution would be, casual posts to non-casual posts. I hope it wouldn't be too bad.

i dont go to school anymore :cool:

University. :cool: Well, kinda cool. If your idea of being cool = being broke. :(

Come on people, 11 more. :( I don't want to have to do a dodecapost.

EDIT: Well, 10 more, but it will still be a 12-post when it's said and done.

Morning all.



Aerodyne, the thrill of 1000 posts awaits.


Well its not much of a thrill really.

i remember being thrilled about 100 posts after being here for a year and a half.

F[I]u[/I]ck knows where the other 5000 posts went to.

wow i just realized that my post count has gotten pretty high.

I also had a fairly minimal postcount until recently.

It pretty much started climbing from about the begining of this year.

I remember getting to 1000 and thinking that was an insane amount of posts. I dont even contribute anything to these forums and i end up with 5k?

It confuses me.

casual thread does that to people.

[quote=mastrrbasser;13449906]casual thread does that to people.[/quote]


Very very true.


I would say at least 70% of my posts are in the casuals

I have gotten progressively less useful as I've posted more. I wish I could pull up my first posts. I was very very careful about what I said cause I didn't want to seem stupid. I remember posting in a thread about Timmy C's lefty neck theory. Edge promptly made my incorrectness apparent. :upset: Stupid "speaking length" of the string. :lol:

same here. all the threads end up being the same after a while. this one always has good ****.



i'm downloading a dvd rip for saw II. and it's coming in FAST. i'll have it in an hour or less.

These people above me are really starting to piss me off. :evil: They've been doing whatever the hell they've been doing for damn near three hours now. AGGHHHHHHH!!!!! I'ma kill me an infidel paw!

:lol:




Or am I? :naughty:

knock on their door, and take your pants off. join the fun. just make sure they're clean.

I don't know. :confused: I wouldn't want my penis to have anything to do with about 90% of the orifices at this school.

Well speaking of infidel paws..............Norton Antivirus's hours are numbered on my PC.


I remeber the days when it actually was a pretty fast machine.

And Windows Defender (antispyware program) is also to be destroyed.....


MWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAH....we shall destroy them soon my pretty

hah. don't you love how most antivirus software slows down your computer more than the actual virus? sometimes i find it easier to uninstall all of it and just manually remove the virus when i get one.

I had wintermute recommend me AVG Antivirus (Freeware) and then spybot.


Thing is, we have been using Norton for the last 7 or 8 years, and just of late it seems to really be chewing resources, I don't remember it being this bad.

That and the fact that my computer is a bit of an older machine now.

All I'm using for an antivirus is AVG, mainly cause it's free. I've got a friend who uses another free one caled Luke Filewalker, and he swears by it, so there's two alternatives for you.

mastrrbasser: How are the half rounds treating you? I orderd a set last week, and I'm pretty pumped. Did you find that they sounded better or worse as they aged?

i have my computer use windows defender, but i set it so it runs at like 5 in the morning, when i'm not using it anyways. Then i also run mcafee and adaware+spybot periodically.

they sound the same. I haven't changed them since i got them. Really nice tone. i can really control the tone on the with my fingers more than on rounds. If you use the fat of your fingers you get a nice woof bass tone, but if you dig in with your tips you get a really good fat growl. slapping sounds ace. I use them on my warwick and the slap tone sounds like a really nice jazz bass. I use lots of low mids so i get a lot of growl but it still cuts through like crazy. harmonics are beautiful too.


that being said, you'll need to adjust your neck when you put them on. They have more tension than rounds.

What gauge did you get? I'm somewhat apprehensive because I bought the 55-110's. Should I be worried? :(

those will be heavy. i got 45-105s. i was going to get 50s, but i only wanted a little more tension than my current rounds (same gauge), and figured the half rounds would make good compensation for the amount of tension i wanted.

you'll need to take some relief off of the neck so the action stays nice and low though. they'll work.

[QUOTE=Aerodyne;13450007]What gauge did you get? I'm somewhat apprehensive because I bought the 55-110's. Should I be worried? :([/QUOTE]

what brand? and do you down tune a lot?

D'Addario's and no, I don't. I might have to start, though. I was thinking about trying D standard as a compensation for string tension, but I'm not sure, I might just have really tight strings for a while. :lol:

i love using half rounds becuase i can play with low action but with good strong tension.

I'm think the tension on your bass assuming its a 34 scale is going to be out of the world stiff. I don't think i could play it.
