[QUOTE=BenJammin;13545026]A custom from either Jared or Chris Stambaugh.

If it's from Jared, it'll be an 8 or a 9.

If it's from Chris, it'll be a 7 or an 8.[/QUOTE]

Nice.

Yessir. It'll be fantastic.

Whatever it is, it's gotta have more than 6 strings.

Hahah, o boy.
I got transfered from one department to customer service to discuss this issue and they didn't wanna deal with me. :\

The only problem I have with Stambaughs is that on all the 6+ basses I have seen of his, they have been single-cut. Since I play I significant amount of tapping, that wouldn't work for me.

The Brad 10-31-2006 05:16 PM

Alpinestars, the company that makes the riding gear I am looking to buy.
It's like the most protection on the market, that I can afford, and it's made in China. The Italian stuff Dianisi (SP) is made in Ukraine. Then there is a British company, but the guy couldn't answer where it was made.

Riding what?

Street bikes. I need leather, boy.

Like motorcycles? Or bicycles? If it is motorcycles get joe rocket very nice and still rather cheep.

The Brad 10-31-2006 05:26 PM

Motorcycles, crotch rockets.

Alright, apparently it's Italian leather stitched in China (cheaper suits) and the higher end stuff is mostly made in Italy and sent to China for the final works. d00d got offended when I called China third world. Apparently they arent' sweat shop conditions, people keep telling me the quality is fine. But it's not the quality I am concerned with, I know it's good. I am wondering if these people are making a living wage and are not being exploited.

Joe rocket, it is what I wear, or rather used to before I sold my bike.

The Brad 10-31-2006 05:29 PM

Yeah the last guy I spoke with said Alpine, Joe Rocket, and Dainese are all Italian companies who use the Chinese for the final stitchings.

That's no problem at all for me, baby.

Crit/comments - it's the first draft of the first section of a song I'm working on. The idea is to be able to actually play it live.

FunkMetalBass 10-31-2006 06:05 PM

So, after really thoroughly listening to Panic! At The Disco, I have to say that they are a really creative band. They just have this...thing...the X Factor, if you will...that makes them somewhat intriguing and kind of different.

All-in-all, I think I [size=0]like P!ATD[/size]

It's okay. I almost always dislike music made with loopers though. It is usually just so repetitive and boring. For what it is it is good.

Wintermute 10-31-2006 06:10 PM

The rhythm at the beginning is looped, and carries on through the song - or what there is of it so far. But the rest I play while singing.

I like some of your work. I haven't heard a ton of it. Just as a broad generalization, I don't love looped music.

Looping is the only thing I can do with any relative proficiency.

I bought The Who's album today. Excellent.

It's not bad. The voice bugs me a bit though. Maybe I'm just not a fan of the timbre of it or something. It feels a bit awkward to me.

The Brad 10-31-2006 06:22 PM

Man, I feel like ish.

I think I would suck at looping, my time isn't amazing.

The Brad 10-31-2006 06:33 PM

Someone entertain me. Now that I've hit 10,000 posts, I have no way to occupy myself.
