^ I saw that. I would love to get new furniture, but the place I'm renting is fully furnished, so it would be a pointless endeavor at the moment.

fatbandit 09-21-2012 02:15 PM

MX bass forum. Now with 100% less MEW.

I have very little of my own furniture because I live in a furnished place. I'm too poor to get my own stuff anyway. But I'd like to because I can afford cheaper places then if I rent unfurnished. I do want a new bed though - the one in this room squeaks like a motherbitch if you so much as roll to the side a tiny bit, and the mattress is just wank. Plus who knows what's gone on on this mattress with previous tenants D:

Too bad the newest squarepusher album was like 90% disappointing :(

Here's something you don't see very often: me playing a normal bass with a normal amount of strings:

fatbandit 09-27-2012 07:11 AM

are you playing through all those bass rigs at once? looks like at least 4 heads in that picture :D

BassVirtuoso 09-27-2012 01:21 PM

I forgot there wasn't a bass forum again and I kept logging in and out. I feel disenfranchised

Fixed that for you.

I don't remember which rig I was playing through. I think I was playing through that Orange tube amp and the fEarful stack. Absolutely INSANE tone. Those fEarfuls are ****ing amazing, and that head was gnarly.

That's only ironic if you're marrying a meteorologist and he picked the date.

Why would I marry a dude?

I bought an HH stingray about 4 months ago. It's fucking awesome.

StrangeVision 10-05-2012 12:45 AM

When did they get rid of the bass forum?

BenJammin 10-05-2012 08:41 PM

Around the same date as this thread started on.

fatbandit 10-06-2012 09:04 PM

Just been to see periphery/btbam

Was truly epic!

I was just listening to The Safety Fire last night and thinking about that show.

Sooooo jelly

fatbandit 10-08-2012 01:58 PM

might have just been the sound but i didn't think the safety fire came across that well at the show. their single sounds totally boss on record though, but i do admit that's the only song of theirs i've listened to.

okay, so here's a thing. i've got a bass combo i want to sell but nobody's biting. if i stick a crossover in line to suck out everything above like 300hz or something, reckon it could see use as a subwoofer for my computer speaker system?

Really? Lame. Have you listened to their other big song "Floods of Colour"? Equally as boss.

You can definitely use it as a sub if you have a sub output on your computer (which may already take care of the crossover, hard to say). You will probably have to fiddle around with the specific crossover frequency, because typical computer speakers lack a lot of low mids, but most sub crossovers peak at about 150Hz.

fatbandit 10-08-2012 06:00 PM

Well it's coming from my soundcard, a focusrite saffire 6 USB. I think I need to use a second set of RCAs for it to work. The speakers I use now are using one set of the RCA outs. No crossovers built in.

They definitely played that song but I've not heard it recorded. I might take a chance on their album though. Their guitarist looked like michael cera in youth in revolt.

Chaos 10-08-2012 08:38 PM

The Safety Fire rules, why isn't there a bass forum anymore?

Thats me on the left and my friend and his gf with The Safety Fire. At the time like no one knew who they were because Grind the Ocean just came out. Tragic

BenJammin 10-09-2012 12:41 AM

I saw a lot of wicked bands over the weekend.

BassVirtuoso 10-09-2012 12:48 AM

Were they...wicked haht?

Dammit I don't even like the rest of this forum. Everyone's really smug

fatbandit 10-09-2012 01:10 AM

Who'd you see Ben?

I'm amazed this forum is still going at all sometimes tbh!

I haven't even played bass in like 6 months :/ joining a new band though. Kinda UK post hardcore stuff. They've already got a couple of EPs worth of material too :)

superjoe 10-09-2012 01:11 AM

bass is a sticky. bahahahahaaa

FunkMetalBass 10-10-2012 08:51 AM

Sleigh Bells, Jane's Addiction, and Alanis Morissette are playing shows within the next month here. I wonder which I can afford tickets to. Hmmm

In other news, I'm working on a ukulele cover of Killswitch's "My Curse". :)

I'm jelly.

But frealz, I was confused as I went to my bookmark for the bass forum to see what was up, couldn't post anything, happen to see it was removed from the main page, came across this thread.

I am sad. :(

fatbandit 10-12-2012 07:02 PM

Also just been to see looper. Loved it, it's a great film. Go watch it!

Ps I'm genuinely starting to feel like Bruce Willis cannot make a bad film

Looper was amazing. Took me a few scenes to get used to the prosthetic on JGL though :cool:


But you're obviously forgetting Surrogates...

fatbandit 10-15-2012 10:13 AM

I liked surrogates. It was a good yarn!

Forget the prosthetic nose though, what were those eyebrows about? D:
