Nice one.

I'm hoping to get $900 or so from the whole, stimulus whatever package. Would give me like three weeks respite from rent.

yeah im very keen to get my stimulus package

i think im gunna have to spend my tax return on getting my car deemed roadworthy for rego in april :( and i only have like two weeks to do that lol...but my stimulus money will be going towards a new acoustic guitar

Yeah after I get a new soundcard and laptop I'll be springing for a nylon string acoustic.

lol i barely play my nylon string and it was tuned to d standard, and one day i looked at it and the low e string had unwound and snapped heaps randomly...i was kinda confused
i think where it sits it cops the afternoon sun in my room and after a while just shat itself

Haha. Next pay-cheque I get should probably go to new strings for my acoustic. Been missing a B for months.

goddamn australia is quiet lately

i started playing fallout 3 again yesterday because i was bored....i just finished it.

Awesome.

I love that game, cruising around with my scoped magnum waiting for raiders to start me. Man that thing takes heads apart.

it is pretty awesome.

i was just watching the news and someone got disqualified in swimming for wearing 2 sets of swimwear and they broke the world record in the heats.

how is that illegal?

I guess you're not allowed to wear two sets.

yeah true....but i guess it's got to be illegal because it gives an advantage to the person doing it

i can't really see what the advantage of wearing 2 sets is though

Neither, probably a bit of a technical rule more than anything else. Like getting fined for having your P plate on an angle.

No one gets fined for that though. Not that I've heard of anyway.

How does the stimulus money work. I need a good bass amp and $900 could go a long way...

It's beyond my knowledge to explain it.

I think it boils down to, if you paid tax last financial year, you maybe get some money.

$900 is the maximum of it I think.

Best to look it up on the ATO or something dude.

What are you looking at, combo amp, head/cab?

Not really sure, any suggestions? My friend who plays guitar has an awesome music man guitar amp, pretty old but really solid and in great condition. He suggested I get a MM as well, and reviews I read are pretty good. Need something pretty durable but not too enormous. MM's go really loud and aren't supidly sized.

For convenience's sake, combo is prob better, but I think in the long run head/cab prob works out better. What did you use for gigging with AW, and also whats the deal with this new band, did anything eventuate?

Depends which band you mean bro. Answer is probably no at any rate.

For AW gigging I used my Aguilar AG500 head with an Epifani UL212 cabinet. That's basically my rig for everything. I'm looking at getting a Thunderfunk head to spoil myself one day, and I'd love to get two Aguilar DB212's (8 Ohm-ers) in Boss Tweed if I had the money and justification.

I've never really seen or played a Music Man amp that I can think of, I was under the impression they haven't been made since the 80s, but I don't know really.

Naw.

greetings from the UK thread :wave:

brummy invades

wonder why our thread never got thrown into GD along with teh UK :/

maybe they forgot about you guys or decided it'd be more fun to (try and) annoy the english population of mx.

anyway, this invasion needs more tea and biscuits so I will say cheerio to the aussie thread.

Yeah I don't think they make them anymore, but they always get amazing reviews anyway, and my friends amp is pretty sweet. Your desired rig sounds pretty insane, I imagine it would cost a sh[I]i[/I]tload. But I don't really know what that kind of thing would even be necessary for.

Two 212's isn't that insane really, well, it's more than anyone really needs unless you're playing a huge venue that doesn't have any house sound systems whatsoever.

Honestly a single 212 will get you through anything you need. If you need to fill a huge room just DI the head and go though the house speakers, if there are no house speakers, it's a crap venue, play a better one instead. One DB212 in boss tweed would still be sexy as. But yeah, local bands with a full stack are basically kidding themselves and wasting their money.

You'd be best off getting a nice head and a nice cab I think. If you want, you can make sure that you get it at the right ohm loading that you can add a second cab but it's a long shot, you'll probably he happy enough with one. I've got a 4 ohm Epifani UL212, so my head can't power any additionaly cabs at the same time, but it goes way louder than I'll ever need it to and has a great tone. Tone what you want out of an amp, volume can come from the front-of-house.

this game looks pretty damn sweet.

Wicked - Hello :chug:

Anyone here watched the animated series 'Detroit Metal City'? God its hilarious.

i agree with user horseman

Air-pockets between the suits add extra buyoncy. Plus less nipples seen.

I read that swimmer girl was voted sexiest woman in Sweden. I have to say, I think Sweden must have better than that.

does one eat soup or drink soup?

It depends, if you had to chew, then you ate it.

[quote=I_WEAR_RED_PANTS;17127736]does one eat soup or drink soup?[/quote]
You imbibe it.

Haha. Imbibe is exacty the same as drink.

Quiet down column-8.

say it's just tomato soup with no pieces of tomato in it.

do you eat it or drink it?

imbibe.....you've all got to stop making up words

Imbibe, bibo was Latin for "drink" so we've ended up with imbibe which is like "to drink in".

Tomato soup with no tomato, yeah, if it's just a liquid and you didn't chew, then you drank it.

Though, you "eat" ice-cream, even if you don't chew before you swallow it.

Now I'm puzzled.

yeah i thought about ice cream too, this is one of the mysteries in life that we will never know the answer to.
