Breakfast morning all.

[QUOTE=mister_tee]You're going to see them twice...? :confused: They really must be That Da-mn Good.[/QUOTE]
Yes, yes.
I do like them THAT much, as do most of their fans.

You must realize the since 1989 when they started, they have released about 20 things, things meaning singles, remix albums, 1 or 2 live CDs/DVDs.
But, out of the 20 releases, they are only about to release their 5th full length studio album.

And it is now 2005, they have not toured, and fans have heard virtually nothing, until a few months ago with the announcement of a new album, since 1999. Luckily, I saw them on that tour in 1999.

And now, I will see them 2 days in a row; May 9th and May 10th.

Jaded 03-01-2005 03:17 PM

I need like two people to rep me, then I should have stars.

fatbandit 03-01-2005 03:25 PM

Yo!

I haven't been here for a little while. Miss owt?

And by the way, how do you get into the Bass ReSauces section?

mister_tee 03-01-2005 03:25 PM

*shrug* I need like one person to rep me, and then I'll have been repped by one person... :upset: :p

neal_672 03-01-2005 03:37 PM

'Sup dudes?

Jaded 03-01-2005 03:40 PM

Thanks guys.

Wait, shouldn't I have stars now? How long does it take? I have 1048 rep points now.

neal_672 03-01-2005 03:41 PM

How much rep do you have Jaded?

cheesepuff 03-01-2005 03:43 PM

It takes them awhile to shift you into the user group with stars, now you just have to wait.

neal_672 03-01-2005 03:44 PM

Nevermind, erm it might take 24 hours to get your stars? Ask Alex or BV...

fatbandit 03-01-2005 03:44 PM

Hey Neal. I don't think sauce is going down too well anymore... My last two subtle sauce additions have been all but ignored. Maybe I should give up on dropping them in?

mister_tee 03-01-2005 03:45 PM

Christ, it must take forever to get that many! Or alternatively every post you make would have to be beautifully erudite and witty. Or both...

neal_672 03-01-2005 03:46 PM

Yeah, it was a valuable effort from us two, sauce medals will undoubtedly be awarded at the next sauce awards :thumb:

PaulSimonon 03-01-2005 03:48 PM

I think I shall buy a 6er.

fatbandit 03-01-2005 03:48 PM

Alas, if only the sauce awards were real. Then, and only then would we both become kings among men. Or possibly just the horribly disfigured.

Hmm... I'll remember. I'll wait and bide my time, then BAM! A few months time, that big Ketchup picture, it shall surface in this thread with no warning, and no explanation, and lo, the world shall know it was my work (possibly because I'll be the one posting it)

neal_672 03-01-2005 03:53 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]I think I shall buy a 6er.[/QUOTE]

Good lad! 6er's own!

Sauce shall return, don't consider it dead! *swishes cloak in mysterious way and walks off into the mist in an equally mysterious way*

PaulSimonon 03-01-2005 03:56 PM

Paul=questions

How was the jump between a 4 and a 6er?
Do you play your four anymore (provided it shares time with the 6er.)?
Can you slap a sixer, and could you do it right from the start?
Can you find strings for the high C easily enough?

fatbandit 03-01-2005 03:59 PM

I own a 5, and I don't know if this will help, but I'll comment. Its close to a 6...

The jump was easy, took a couple days to be playing fine, to realise the B isn't your E and things like that...
I don't play my four anymore, just because when I write, I use the extra string, so I'd be at a disadvantage without it. Plus, it just has more options for me.
I can't slap anyway, but I find it harder on a 5, because of the string spacing. Many people would say otherwise though.
I don't know about the C, but I find it very hard getting a 135 B for some reason.

neal_672 03-01-2005 04:00 PM

Pretty simple, took a few days of getting used to.
Yes i do when i can't be arsed with the 6er's wider neck/want to play a song requiring only 4 strings/band practice/gigs.
Yes
I wouldn't know, i'd just order from the net when i need a new set... But these are elixirs so i should be able to make 'em last...

PaulSimonon 03-01-2005 04:02 PM

Thanks a lot guys! I think I will. I'll be trying some out tomorrow.

peeted 03-01-2005 04:02 PM

i just got a 6er and can help u there

the jump was harder than i expected it to be but you get used to it
i still play my 4 sometimes, many dont tho
i can slap my 6 string, its harder than on a 4 string tho
still on 1st set of strings

IV PULLED A TENDON ON MY FINGER, THE TOPS GONE PURPLE AND ITS SO SWOLEN I CANT BEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWWWW!!!!!

PaulSimonon 03-01-2005 04:04 PM
