Foxfire 08-29-2004 04:01 PM

My week was a-ok. I'm awaiting my Conklin. :D

It's really sad, I was bored and was going through Musician's Friend and a bunch of websites and looked at an SR506 and said "Wow. That'd make a really nice fretless bass." D[size=2]amn[/size] G.A.S. :rolleyes:

xxxwookie 08-29-2004 04:06 PM

[QUOTE=jazzfunkboy]i just checked, it is that song. just listen to the bassist's tone and style. id say thats flea. he wrote it and performed it on the real recording, but he doesnt do it live for them.[/QUOTE]
Behind her on most of the songs is a band called sexual chocolate. I'm afraid it's not Flea playing. Watch the video.

The person you may notice is Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters Drumsmith fame

Radiobass81 08-29-2004 04:06 PM

Foxfire: Defret your P-copy and add a jazz pickup in the neck. P/J combinations rule.

Wow, Taylor plays with Alanis? All Foo's have another thing going for them, cool.

Foxfire 08-29-2004 04:08 PM

I was thinking of, actually, defretting it and adding either:
A Dual J by the bridge
OR
A J by the neck and a J by the bridge, a la the Stu Hamm Urge.

Radiobass81 08-29-2004 04:09 PM

^^ Second idea.

Have you ever seen someone use a fretless musicman :p? Of course not.

Foxfire 08-29-2004 04:10 PM

You know what would be pretty cool to do...I could try to turn my P-copy into a Stingray/Sterling look alike and defret that.

Radiobass81 08-29-2004 04:12 PM

Why would you want to defret something like a MusicMan? 90% of MM are used for slappers...

Foxfire 08-29-2004 04:15 PM

Throw on an Ebony fretboard? :p If I were to defret something Musicman, it'd be a Bongo.

Radiobass81 08-29-2004 04:17 PM

Or a Sabre...

Wintermute 08-29-2004 04:44 PM

On an unrelated tangent, I just picked up a rather nice Mackie 1402-VLZ 14 Channel Mixing Desk on a long term 'would you like to buy this?' loan!

It sits there on my desk making me look very professional and feel very foolish.

Radiobass81 08-29-2004 04:46 PM

Congrats :thumb:

Ruhtra 08-29-2004 04:50 PM

That blows Joe, how ignorant. :mad:

Anyway I went back to school Wednesday. I like my teachers and the girl that was ignoring me during the summer wasn't ignoring me on purpose and she's in 2 of my classes. I'm now an Admin at a small online forum now too. :D

Wintermute 08-29-2004 04:55 PM

by long term, I mean they said 'So just let me know if you want it, you can pay me in bits if you like. Right, I'm off to London. See you in October!'

Don't you hate book covers? SR in high school-You'd expect some kind of respect, "oh no! we're gonna tear the book to pieces cause we have no responsibility!"

And another thing, since school starts up again on wensday, wtf is with it?

At my school, we have ONE racial diversity. Arrogant racist biggit hick redneck white people, and gangsta hip gangster wannabie native americans.

And, the "indians" just love to start fights with everyone for no reason at all (Thus the racism, and they wonder why :amaze: )

anyways, because of the fights, we can no longer go to the bathroom on our own. We can no longer be un-supervised in the halls. We also now have to have bags checked in some classes, and we can be immediatly sent to the principal for anything considered "conspicious"

Now, I'm all for tighter security, but this is taking it to far. We're mature, (for the most part) young adults. I think we can handle going to the bathroom on our own

Another thing we can't do, is wear a shirt that is either all white, or mostly white. (White pride, or what you will) While the god dayam minority can parade around in thier blatent "Native Pride" shirts. It's a load of BS if you ask me

haha, I was once told by the principal to consider cutting my hair, because the natives might take it offensivly, that I'm trying to "copy" their rat tail dealio.


How does long hair in any way symbolize that?


it's things like this that make me want to have sex with MX newbs.

Foxfire 08-29-2004 05:03 PM

Racism is an interesting issue. If a white man makes a racial slur about a black man, it's racism. However, in most cases, if the black man makes a racial slur about a white man, it's fine.

jazzfunkboy 08-29-2004 05:16 PM

yeah, im easily confused by those situations. i just steer clear of any racial comments because you never really know who will get offended.

Fu[I]c[/I]k thats so dumb I would protest screw em, I also find it dumb black people have Black entertainment television. Can you imagine the back-lash if whites had White entertainment television. I also hate it how whites are always portrayed as losers in black movies... yarg.

I have lots of them at that store they also sound awesome they have an authoritive tone :cool:

my dad's girlfriend once told me that on martin lither king day we won't do anything because we don't celebrate no ****** day. that just blew my mind that she said that. and I live with my mom now she's cool. It amazes me that ethnic people wanted to be treated differenlty i would want to be treated just like any one else if I was. :confused:

to joe girls are generally evil the girls on the forums excluded anyone who says men can be mean have never seen an angry bitter crazy women they are hardcore almost scary but that rarely ever happens you ex was an extreme case most girls are mean in a way like look at those clothes and she's ugly try not to get down. :cool:

slappindabass 08-29-2004 07:44 PM

Man......... the greatest music to listen to while cruising with your friends at night is JAZZZZZ. HAHA "The River People" by Jaco.. MANNN that song rocks at night. It just sets the mood. And some of the Pat Methany/Jaco work is awesome too.

I saw "Garden State" and "Hero" in the past week. Both great movies. You all should check them out. I've been working on "Portrait of Tracy" and my fingerstyle techinique as opposed to constantly slapping. I worked yesterday and today and so the weekend sucked and in 9 days school starts up again... I can't wait until I drive...

Sade 08-29-2004 08:15 PM

Slap is addicting, I've been tapping alot lately.






Tapping is all I really do...and I've been learning alot of Opeth and Dream theater songs, Just got done with to bid you farewell, blackwater park by opeth, and Take the Time/Metropolis Pt. 1 by dream theater

The tapping solo in metropolis is fun to improv on..

Maybe it's because we enslaved African Americans for 300 years.

Or perhaps we are just stupid honkeys.

One may never know.

PaulSimonon 08-29-2004 08:37 PM

hey fellow Pearl Jam enthusiast Radio.... heard about the Jack Irons's (of RHCP and Pearl Jam) new cd with Ament and Flea on bass on different songs, and Vedder and Claypool combine vocals on one song? I think its coming out on tuesday..... I want it....

JoeDaddio 08-29-2004 09:28 PM

My basses name is Beatrix. So yeah, that was for like 2 or so pades back. heh.


And thanks for reinforcing my opinion about the devil woman. I can only hope that you all don't have to deal with anyone like that. Although I'm sure you probably will. Unless you are like that, and in that case... I hate you. Very much.

On MSN Messanger (or maybe another) users often use an unhealthy amount of characters in their "chat name", and change it about three times a day. I hate that.

Foxfire 08-29-2004 10:22 PM

I am borrrrrrrrrrred.

What's up everyone?

I was sitting watching TV and I was wondering if I really need a teacher anymore. I mean, I know the correct hand positioning, I can read music decently. I figure I can teach myself the rest or take Music Theory courses at a college.

If that's not blasphemous enough for you,

THEN LET'S EPOXY IT!

What do you guys think about drawing? Are people either born with the ability to draw or they just plain suck at drawing? Or is it like music, in which a hard worker can overcome a genius?

It can go both ways. I seem to have a talent for drawing compared to my friends yet all I do is doodle and not draw seriously. Of course you can become a good drawer it just takes practice, like everything.
