[QUOTE=blizzard;13383529]HAHAHA I shouldn't drink at all.

I was too drunk to pick my parents up from the airport this morning and I woke up to them telling me that I'm drunk :([/QUOTE]

Do they know about the baby?

For me bass is really the style of playing not really the notes. Don't get me wrong even as a kid i always loved the sound of bass and would always turn up as far as it would go in the car.

Not yet... I should tell them

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383527]Watch me be on your doorstep tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

:lol: If you can track down my house and be there by tomorrow, I'll be extremely impressed.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383533]Hey Jarred, what's up?

One of my friend's is moving to Salmon Arm, by the way.[/QUOTE]

Seriously? Crazy.

And not a hell of a lot, really. How about yourself?

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383515]Cynicism ftw?

hahaha, you're probably right. I'll be dead before either, I'm pretty sure.

Did you hear about Zorn getting a $500 000 Genius Grant?[/QUOTE]

A cynic at best.


:lol: Someone mentioned that Zorn thing on here... maybe it was you. Colbert is awesome.
Crap, here's how it will go: I still haven't uploaded that Zorn album for you, but he's got another one coming out in a week or two with the same lineup (Mike Patton on vocals, Trevor Dunn on bass, some guy [I don't know who it is, but he's pretty damn good] on drums), so I'll download that and upload both for you.

[QUOTE=blizzard;13383548]Not yet... I should tell them[/QUOTE]

At least before they notice you eating pickles and chinese food together.

yeah, except the bass eq only makes everything more bassy, it doesnt turn up the bass guitar o_O

this is going too fast for my 56k

I'll be there, Ben, I will.

Jarred: Nothing much, I have a show coming up sometime soon.

Spiff: I must have, one of the funniest things I've ever seen on Colbert. And I would probably trade my entrails for those albums.

HAHAH 56K for the loss.

I don't think I could ever stand using dial up again.

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle;13383528]well, i meant mainly for me. it just seems that when you have so many higher strings, you're just wandering out of [I]bass[/I] territory.[/QUOTE]

But it's still a bass. These people get those because they aren't piano players, they aren't stick players, they're bass players.

i disagree, strongly. not that style isn't part of it, but [I]bass[/I] is a huge part of it. (i might be reading your post wrong, the "not really the notes" part confused me)

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383571]I'll be there, Ben, I will.[/QUOTE]

<_<

>_>

I'll be waiting.

Sweet. Yeah, I've just been jamming with a ton of people lately. I'm in a class called Music Composition and Recording and when we're not learning a bunch of theory or recording, it basically turns into a bunch of jam sessions. My playing has improved so much from it already.

So when is this friend of yours moving here?

Sometime soon. Her parents have a house there, and I think they've sold theirs, so it should be in the next few months.

[QUOTE=Left Shoe;13383567]yeah, except the bass eq only makes everything more bassy, it doesnt turn up the bass guitar o_O[/QUOTE]

If the spacing is more than 15mm its a bass i don't care how its tuned.

What makes a bass though? Is it the notes being played, the style of it beening played or how the guitar physically looks? When is a bass not a bass?

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383604]Sometime soon. Her parents have a house there, and I think they've sold theirs, so it should be in the next few months.[/QUOTE]

Oh, cool. Well, not really, because it is Salmon Arm and all... But you know what I meant.

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13383583]But it's still a bass. These people get those because they aren't piano players, they aren't stick players, they're bass players.[/QUOTE]

umm... i understand your post, but i guess i don't understand what your point is.

What I'm getting to is that one of the main reasons I picked up bass was that i could play with my fingers(i wasn't accustommed to fingerstyle guitar yet). I was horrible with my left hand technique and the wider spacing made it easier initially. I liked all of that stuff regardless of what a bassa ctually sounded like. Do you get what I'm saying?

A bass isn't a bass when its not tuned in 4ths and starts to venture out of the bass range.

[QUOTE=The_Red_Death;13383624]Oh, cool. Well, not really, because it is Salmon Arm and all... But you know what I meant.[/QUOTE]

yeah....I'll miss her. At least she won't waste her time working at Starbucks anymore *shudder*

Though you probably have one she could transfer to....

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle;13383625]umm... i understand your post, but i guess i don't understand what your point is.[/QUOTE]

I guess it didn't totally relate to what was being said, but it's more directed at people who say stuff like, "Why get a 12 string bass? Just get a stick." Crap like that.

well, what seperates a bass from a guitar?

















































about an octave.

When it can not aquire the bass celf. So if you had a 10-string you can still go into the bass celf, besides bass has its own individual tuning.

[QUOTE=Mr. Pickle;13383647]well, what seperates a bass from a guitar?

Alot more than that.

[QUOTE=progmegood;13383642]yeah....I'll miss her. At least she won't waste her time working at Starbucks anymore *shudder*

Nope. We're too small to have a Starbucks. Which I'm actually grateful for.

I see what your saying and i think you see what I'm saying. Here's what makes a bass to me(add anything if you feel neccessary)

-The notes(an octave lower than guitar and bass clef.)

-The look(Basses have a distinct look you don't confuse them with any other instrament)

-The technique(bass is played very differantly from any other string instrament)

Even if if you take away one of those 3 thngs listed i will still consider it a bass. I do agree that it must be tuned in 4ths though

[QUOTE=The_Red_Death;13383664]Nope. We're too small to have a Starbucks. Which I'm actually grateful for.[/QUOTE]

Oh good. It's nice to hear you're doing well. Do you have anything exciting coming up, at all? Any special plans for Thanksgiving?

idk, i think your view of technique might be a little over the top.

maybe i'm confused, give an example of what you mean maybe?
