[QUOTE=BenJammin;13436583]That sucks. We had something like that happen to our all ages club a couple of years ago. All of the punk bands sucked, but it was fun to go down and hang out with everybody and just mosh and have a good time.[/QUOTE]

It's always a shame when that stuff falls through.

Ahh. BC is a nice place. I've never been to Alberta (I'm on the east coast), except when flying through it.

I just saw DR now has Pink strings... and i need a new set. :)

Oooh. That would be hot on a gloss black bass. Like mine. But I ordered my half wounds this week. :upset: Oh well, I don't really like coated strings anyway.

I love DR coated. I have red devils right now they don't really look red they more pink exept in a bright light.

Mmm.

P Bass.

Por que? What bass is that?

It's actually a Squier, but you could really tell almost everything in it has been changed. I like the way it looks and sounds.

I spy a badass bridge, Dimarzio split P Humbuckers, and a killswitch. I think.

And dunlop straplocks you can see. I changed one of the tuners becuase it was messed up and all the pots have been changed.

Pretty sweet. I think I have missed out on a lot by not being able to mod my first bass, it was stolen. I do have plans for its replacement, though. :cool:

What was your first?

I'm thinking of re-finishing the bass in a black and white finish. I was thinking of doing all black and then white where the arm rest is. Or i thought doing black and white like Vic's Ying Yang bass would look awsome i don't know if i could do that though.

Oh, a Crate Electra. 'Tis a P-bass copy. After it was stolen, the school replaced it with an Ibanez GSR250, which I have defretted and sanded down. I haven't been home yet because of school, but over the holidays I plan on wrapping that up. Probably new pickups and a refinish.

Everybody seems to have started on a P-copy.

My first was a Peavey Milestone IV, which was a P bass.

I started on a 'Ray copy, because I am just that cool.
In fact, it is still my only bass.

I have a friend who had a Milestone IV. He put in SD Quarter Pounders and got a diamond plate pickguard for it. He's also had it defretted by a local luthier. Pretty nice little bass.

Yeah. I can't believe I sold it and bought an Epiphone EB-3 instead. :upset: Worst bass-related purchase ever. It's stuff like that that is the reason I've spent, like, $6000 in gear over the past 3 years.

Oh snap! We all joined in March '05. That wasn't really worthy of an "Oh snap", but it's definitely worth noting. That's four of us now. :thumb:

I do like the EB-3 though. That and the Viola. It's kinda cool to think that the same instruments were going for just a few hundred dollars 30-40 years ago. Cool and sad. GAS would be a lot cheaper. :upset:

Yeah... how there used to just be "Jazz basses," none of that MIA, MIM, MIK, MIJ, etc.

/will own a vintage jazz someday

That's more like it. :thumb: I wish I knew exactly what makes vintage instruments worth so much more. There really can't be that much of a difference. :confused:

I really don't know. The trick is get one that has some belt rash on the back, or a hairline crack or something in the finish. That totally kills the resale value.

There are a lot of scratches on the back of my P that you can't see. The thing that annoys me most is that all the scractches are only on the top couple of clear coats so i get a scratched up look instead of a cool vintage look.

Yeah, I love how beat up John Frusciante's Strat is. It doesn't get any hotter than that. :smash:

/orgasm

Yeah. His sunburst '62? I'd kill a child for that guitar.

When i saw Weezer play live the bassist had the most scratched up basses i had ever seen. One of them was so scratched up that there was barely any paint left on it.

Yeah, the one John had in the Jesus spread in Guitar World a few issues back. That is one sexy guitar. I'd like to know that guitar's story, it's probably very interesting. Who was it's first owner, what happened to it, to whom was it traded, that kind of stuff.
