[quote=Atomicant;13547461]Afternoon.

Im not sure if its really hot right now or if im just hot because of my cold.

whats up with south africa?[/quote]


Most likely your cold.


As for SA, sunny this morning, pissed down with rain last night.

I added you on myspace, just did not recognise the name, apologies.




Actually thinking of doing a blog of the EUB build on myspace as well as here, should be quite nice with a bit of luck.



Side note, the new neck core out of clamps, still needs to have a few more laminates added and then be clamped again, but it is looking good, the damn sucker is going to wind up being 9 pieces most likely, maybe even 11.

Are the Squier J Basses good for their price? I got it for $300AU which is about $195US..

The Brad 11-01-2006 12:39 AM

Not especially.

I don't know how good craigslist is in your area, but search for used gear in your area using it or another service.

I'm in Australia so... Everything here is horribly inflated.

Az_Holl 11-01-2006 12:46 AM

is it a standard jazz or the affinity series? A standard should be alright, but affinitys are kinda crappy

If your just learning though it should be alright

irishslappop 11-01-2006 12:50 AM

my craigslist area sucks for music gear, but its damn good for cars.

Pluperfect_Arson 11-01-2006 12:54 AM

Yeah, Portland's Craigslist sucks for musical gear as well, but there will be something nice that pops up for cheap every once-in-a-while.

Aaron 11-01-2006 12:56 AM

It's a standard series. Got it for $300 new.

Az_Holl 11-01-2006 12:58 AM

Thats pretty good to start on, really i wouldnt spend big cash on it unless you get serious about it.

HELLonWHEELS 11-01-2006 12:59 AM

And even then you have to think about it because people tend to go in and out of phases where they just don't feel like playing music.

I dropped 1200$ into new gear this month, and I wasn't really into playing music at the time, but I am back to where I was with an entirely new focus.

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:04 AM

HoW thanks for the kinds words on TB

I saw some good stuff on the Portland CL awhile back, and Dan you're close enough to S.F. :p

irishslappop 11-01-2006 01:05 AM

gah, quite a drivefor bass gear. i am willing to make the drive for my subaru though. in time, i will own the streets. and it will be good.

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:05 AM

WTH, there's no way my mom's Prius is running HIDs.

I guess I am just overzealous when it comes to "deals"

To HoW, my car after I detailed it:

irishslappop 11-01-2006 01:08 AM

well i guess its more of a drive for me beacuse my truck gets 12 miles to the gallon. it was bought back when gas was cheap.

got a pic of that badboy prius? lol

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:10 AM

Nah, I probably should detail her car then take some sweet shots of it.

It's Lunar Mist Metallic (silver), all stock, interior is gross because of my sister's kids. :(

Well tell them to get out while you take the picture :p

irishslappop 11-01-2006 01:12 AM

nice corolla, imagine how awesome that would look if you put some nice dark wheels on it and some bigger tires. too bad all that **** is so damn expensive.

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:13 AM

No, I am just talking about the upholstery. It's cloth, and I mean it's not like it's that bad, but she never cleans her car so you have juice stains and cookie crumbs, etc.

kiddie vomit?

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:15 AM

Those aren't the stock wheels? :\

I have been looking to get some lighter weight wheels in a gloss/matte black, but I just don't have money to go blow. If someone would give me half of my purchase price for the new wheels on my old ones I'd be all over it. But eh, It works for now. I really need to lower it before I do anything else.

No upchuck to my knowledge.

Pluperfect_Arson 11-01-2006 01:17 AM

Brad, drop that shiiiiiiiet.

I was attempting 'comedy' :p I knew what you meant.

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:18 AM

I KNOW! People at the meet were saying if I had a Matrix they'd be calling it a Rav-4. :(
I was going to buy this dudes Tein S springs, but someone snagged'em before me.

The Brad 11-01-2006 01:19 AM

I already took the kids out, I slit their throats and put them in a box and mailed the corpses to Ben Lesser. I think the package may be leaking blood and that is why it was re-routed to NY. -_-

Jody LeCompte 11-01-2006 01:20 AM

These new acoustic strings are so awesome.

irishslappop 11-01-2006 01:21 AM
