There's 40 other pictures on the camera so I have to upload those too.

:( :p

What is the bass made off?

Man, I suddenly hate Alder... my fretless sounds way too cheap compared to my LTD C-10. Yeah, I am posititive it's the woods, as the pickups don't change much tone-wise (besides being more mid-ranged)

Sorry to get off topic, but it's hard for someone who only comes on the weekends to stay in topic in a Casual thread.

Casual 9... staying in time
 

:wave: Hey everyone... How are you all?

So... good news first?

*My house was sold... sold to the first guy who saw it :confused: ... my house needs alot of work, that we never actually got around to doing it because our realtor wouldn't approve the work... why fix things that are going to cost thousands of dollars when... you don't even own the house.

*I found our new house. With my father and mother being very preoccupied with his cancer... and my brother not much of a help at times.. I was helping my mom look for houses. Searching through thousands of house listings wasn't fun... but then I got good at it.. :lol: Every spare moment I spent in Philadelphia (most of my days are spent in NJ at work) I went to houses... loaded up my digital camera with tons of photos... was basically the eyes for my parents.. especially since many of the houses we were looking at didn't have picture on the website! And with that.. my mom saw one of the houses I was looking it... loved the "facts" that we had on it... went and saw it... placed a big... and WE GOT IT! :)

lmfao.. we placed a bid on it ASAP because tomorrow.. there was someone comming down from NYC to look at the same house... the philadelphia house market is being ravaged by NYC.. people moving down here, or buying and renting the houses down here.. because compaired to NYC ... the living expense down here is like beans. muwhahahahaha... :evil:

Baddish news: We got like six weeks to move :eek:

Bad news: My father wasn't accepted for medicaid (where the government pays for your health costs, etc).. so we can't get an ultrasound done on the tumor (which would tell us what stage is it in)... I want to rip out the hearts of doctors right now who refuse to speak to us because we don't have health insurance.

Basically.. money talks, and the sick die! :angry:

Have at it

LR

That's bull**** about your father. The government's priorities are quite interesting...Would be nice if, for a day, they just said: "Money is no object!"

I'm happay, I've got my Conklin. Just need a Roland DB-500 and I'm set basswise for life, pretty much (though some effects couldn't hurt ;)).

Radiobass: the Conklin is made of Swamp Ash with a Maple top. Ash, Bubinga, and Ovangkol are my favorite woods; Koa, Korina, and Maple are my favorite types. I actually don't mind Alder that much.

wow the bad news was bad and the good news was good. my week was pretty bleh , i have to go sit at a football game tonight cuz im in marching band playing clarinet , this sucks i dont think im gonna do it again

Ahh **** you I almost had the first post in this
but I'm content with second...Third!!!

woohoo first page!!!

you should tell those doctors to piss off and die.

whats happened in my life? well, i started "school" again, which is just a full time paid apprenticeship at the same place ive been working for the past year and a half. i guess it will be nice to say in may that i'm a full blown luthier. go me. thats about all here.

hmmm. heres a little update on married life.
its been almost 7 weeks. the best 7 weeks of my life. she's been gone for about 2 of those weeks, pressing family issues. but its especially great because we both have quite secure jobs. myself doing luthier work, and she's already a fully certified cisco technician at only 21. wow.

thats my life. whats yours?

That really sucks LR, I'm really sorry.

Our world is a really freakin hard place to live.

Man, that sucks (about the medical plan)... Something similar had happened to my grandfather.

Say what you will about a nationalised health service, but that wouldn't happen with the NHS...
