[QUOTE=BenJammin;13588386]How're the elections shaping up? Is it looking like a Democrat or a Republican win?[/QUOTE]

We now have a democrat here.


More like Devil Patrick the Devilcrat if you ask me.

O Canada!

Seriously, I haven't been paying attention to the states.
Whose up for election?

Radiobass81 11-07-2006 08:39 PM

The Democrats have pretty much won the House, it's the Senate (Congress?) that's being fought after now.

It's the US midterm elections, for Congress and... the Senate?

so...? its only the US

Radiobass81 11-07-2006 08:42 PM

I have no idea. Both?

All I know is, my History teacher told me that the Democrats now have the house, but they want both the house and the Senate (or Congress?) to really screw over Bush.

I'm bad with this whole mid-term stuff. We don't have it here, to my knowledge, and if we do, no one really cares about it at all.

Ben: I confuse the two. Languages... Leave me alone :p!

What do you mean 'so'?

If you haven't noticed, that happens in the USA tends to have an effect on the global scale, at least politically. I care about what goes on in the south because it will effect me at some point in time.

I've never actually heard of them.
So that's why i didn't acknowledge you and your concert.

Dude, totally posted that before you made the thread.

:D

I just took a lot of time to make the thread, and I could have said so much more. Sooooooo awesome. One of my favorite concerts ever.

They're kickass... check them out.

johnb73 11-07-2006 09:36 PM

hi, im from the guitar forum and didnt want to make a new thread for this in your forum....

my friend just asked me what a good replacement bridge for his 4string fender J bass?

Spaceman Spiff 11-07-2006 09:39 PM

I could probably upload some songs to show some people the greatness of this band. I'll put together a little compilation of stuff from all their albums. :p

Radiobass81 11-07-2006 09:39 PM

Ghotoh Bridge
Badass Bridge (what everyone will say, even though they aren't anything special)
Hipshot Bridges (what I'd get)

All of these are good, none need any routing.

Look into: Gotoh, Badass, Schaller, Hipshot. You really cant go wrong.

The Badass II is a really popular replacment and retrofits fenders.

Beat :( The only down side to Schaller is that they dont retrofit.

Standard answer is a Leo Quan Badass II. I don't like them, my suggestion is an ETS bridge. Might not be a straight dropon, but they're really nice.

Also, Grizzly Hardware makes a REALLY nice bridge for, like, 12$.

thanks guys, that should do.

PaulSimonon 11-07-2006 09:44 PM

And I've only recently jumped on their bandwagon.... (I only have The Crane Wife.)

Spaceman Spiff 11-07-2006 09:51 PM

I've been pretty into them for a couple of years. A fantastic band, really.

:lol: your taste in metal sucks!

PaulSimonon 11-07-2006 10:00 PM

The ETS or the Grizzly? I've just heard good things about the ETS bridges, and I really really like their design concepts and pricing. It's a better bridge for a great price.



I have a grizzly bridge, and I was amazed when I got it... I figured it would be pretty ****ty, but it was actually very very nice. It's pretty much a lower quality ETS knockoff. It's still a solid bridge, just not quite up to an ETS in terms of construction methods and materials.

Spaceman Spiff 11-07-2006 10:01 PM

I used to like Bodom. Then I didn't listen to them for a while, then I listened to them again and thought they were awful.

At least I saw them live back when I liked them.

Same, minus the seeing them. And I only liked them for a period of about a week.

Thonk 11-07-2006 10:10 PM

Oh damn..

Those Grizzly bridges look good. Seem too good for the price...

PaulSimonon 11-07-2006 10:12 PM

Dude, they're seriously pretty nice. I bought it expecting a peice of ****, and opened it up and went... Wow!


I mean, hell for 12$ you can't touch it... I really like the way that the saddles are designed, really smart. Not their idea, but hey... it's 12$.
