Would be bada[size=2]ss[/size] if they did some Jaco...

never heard of any of those , tell me how it goes though
EDIT: 700!

I fixed it.

I think it'll be pretty cool. I read somewhere that Coltrane's son is going to be doing a tribute.

thatd be weird , doing a tribute to your dad , id throw in some hate n such , lets see how coltrane treated his son lol

"My father beat me with his saxophone when I told him I thought bass was cool."

lol the picture i get in my head of someone beatgin someone else with a saxophone is really humorous

Thanks for the info Fox. Luckily my dad, a bass player and into jazz, will most lickely take me. Thanks again.

No problem. I'm sure it'll be pretty bada[size=2]ss.[/size]

hello! :)

Hiya! :)

Hi!......

There need to be more companies that mass produce 7-string basses. :'(

Or more people who are satisfied with a mass produced 4.

Lol. :p Hey, I'm happy with the 7 I got, but it'd be nice to be able to go to a store and be able to try different ones out. And I'm happy with the mass produced 4s that exist, as well as the mass produced 5s and 6s. :p

hi...


school blows.


cd for mod. :p

[quote=Crapdragoon]cd for mod. :p[/quote]

:rolleyes: cods has proven that self advertisement won't get you in. He contributes but he over self advertised. :p

crapdragoon for mod

tis not self advertising

Dragoon is quite the anxious one. He's been here since April only and he's already trying to be a mod. :p

how about other people promoting him? Crapdragoon for mod!!

Meh. :p

Why would anybody want to be a mod???

For e-respect, duh. :rolleyes: :p

The mods we've got are awesome though.

^^^YYeah I know, but I guess being a mod takes the fun away, you could not go around talking about anything once you're one, and besides it must be a real pain in the arrss to deal with certain people in here.

[QUOTE=nisakss]Why would anybody want to be a mod???[/QUOTE]

Well you get alot of respect but it's a hard job, and crapdragoon you wont be a mod until you've been here for longer.

^^I'm a silent man......

[QUOTE=Left Shoe]psh foxfire youve been here since april and youve got 600+ more posts than him =P[/QUOTE]

than who? Intresting fact in my first like three months here I was always passive about posting and only had about 100 look at me now :p

crapgdargon, i dont post much b ut im here alot

:p I like to talk. :D I'm sure I won't be posting as much when school starts, but yeah. :p Shows I contribute. :cool:

:p

If I became a mod, I would probably be to cautious (sp?) on the forums and wouldn;t have as much fun...

i would be the careless mod who had alot of fun , and made fun of people i didnt like

i dont want to be mod for dam.n respect, i want to just get rid of all theses stupid threads the mods arnt ever around to see , as you can see winter, and thumbs are on different times then most of us, so they come on at night morning , and part of the day, the rest of the time its hell , and lr peeks in once in a while... i just want to keep it clean.

Man I'm tired and fed up! I just got in from work ( midnight) having worked since 9 AM. I stupidly told my boss I could look after the pub fine while he goes away for a couple of days. Advantage of course is that I quit on Friday! :D

In other news, my custom job is coming along. The paint job as it stands is a black bass with a bass clef stencilled on. I've got to touch up the clef by hand using an artists brush, but that wont be hard. I'm getting some nitrocellulose lacquer in a couple of days to finish the paint job, then all that I need to do is install the pickups and I'm done! :D :thumb: I'll probably find out that there's something horribly wrong at the end of all this but it was worth it! :)

I got "the best of john coltrane" from a friend today.... all i can say is NICE.
Jazz is so soothing. :)
