I'd say I have... normal fingers?

Like I say, I'm convinced that was a 36-32, but now I'm not entirely sure because of what Jon said. It might just be that I wasn't used to it, but it was definitely quite hard to get around up there.

since when is a part time job 30+ hours?

why is it whenever you get a part time job, they work you way too much, and whenever you get a full time job, you never get enough hours

oh oh pick me pick me i know

part time employees are easier to take advantage of

[quote=fatbandit;17574803]It wasn't strung up yet, but I got a good idea of the feel of it. It was apparently a 35-32 fan, though I'm sure he said it was 36-32 before. Either way, it wasn't too uncomfortable, but I think the higher frets got a bit messy and tight together. It really needs a slightly less severe fan, to my mind. A 35-33 might be quite neat, and spread over 7 strings would be less severe anyway.[/quote]

The Dingwall Afterburners and the new Combustions 5-strings are 37-34. Supposably they are extremely comfortable and the 37" B string is supposed to be ridiculously clear and tight. Maybe the 32" was just too little to be comfortable.

well i was thinking of a 36-32 at first, but i'm thinking 36-33 now.... hm.

You answered your own question... Part time workers being young teenagers are basically slave laborers where you can easily work them to the full extent of the 40 hr cut off and pay them significantly less.

When you're a full time worker you actually need to be respected- legally.

Yeah it's like how walmart doesn't do overtime but will have you work it even though you check out at 42+hours it cuts itself of at like 39...

It's easier to abuse full time employees over here, barely anyone is part time because you get paid hourly and still get full time benefits. Full time runs on salary and they'll use that to make you work stupidly long shift/no breaks/overtime without paying. Casual is where the money is at without the benefits.

Err I'm pretty sure that can't be legal lol. The "falsified" hrs that is...

just bought myself a line 6 m9 for my birthday ^_^

Nice is that a multi effects or what?

It's one of those oh you can only work so long in the day but they give you way more things to do that you can't fit in the time, then when you turn around and leave on time they are like "why didn't you do this" then count how many times that happens (which I guess is allot) then eventually use it as a reason to fire you so you can't collect unemployment from them... And then you also get punished for working overtime even though they practically make you... It's like say you start working there and you can get everything done in the time allotted then they give you more then you do that almost with enough time but manage to pull it off then they just keep piling **** on until you can't get it all done...

Haha.

The "R" stands for rape victim.

Does anybody have any insight on this?:

"Deep Talkin' Extra Long Scale

Important note: La Bella flatwound strings are not suitable for use on instruments that require through-body stringing."

Oh my. Wilco was incredible. I was expecting a good show, but nothing like that.

Feist came out and sang a song with them, too, as she appears on their new album on a song.

The place was all seats, I was 4th row on the floor.

Gogol Bordello is coming to town next week. I've gotta go to that. It'll be my 4th time seeing them.<br>

Other than you're not meant to use them for through-body stringing than nah nothing. If you mean the reason why not, nothing comes to mind.

[quote=gaslight;17577370]Other than you're not meant to use them for through-body stringing than nah nothing. If you mean the reason why not, nothing comes to mind.[/quote]

Maybe it's because they are wound so far from both ends that the speaking length of the string is almost exactly the same as the scale length. However, if I bought the 35" (extra long scale) strings and put them thru-body on my 34" fender, I'd probably be fine.

Could always e-mail them I'm sure they'd give you the lowdown.

thats how it is where i work. bosses don't care about employees, all they care about is freight. if you finish a job at 9 (when shift ends) and there is still stuff left to do on the dock, you cant go until its done.

well, i say "cant" quite loosely, because i don't care - i'm not working longer than a 6 hour AT THE MOST shift.

Where I work they let all us casual workers go after 4 hours because that's the longest they can legally keep us without giving us a paid 15 minute break.

yeah you get 1/2 hour lunch break after working 6 hours as well

Nice one man. Good start/finish hours?

well no thats just OSHA requirements any employer MUST give you an unpaid half hour lunch break

you can work through it but they're required to

they're making me work 30 hours a week atm i really can't do it. only home for like an hour a day and have no time to study for class

and next week is midterm week im asking for 2 days off

5 nights a week is too much cant do it

Yeah that's pretty full time man wouldn't want to be juggling an education at the same time.

im dodging the bullet i somehow managed to pass an exam i had this week but it was almost impossible. had no time and my other classes suffer.

i find myself skipping classes sometime to STUDY for classes to fit school into my work schedule. work should fit into school, never the other way around when a full time student

Yeah man, I mean, working to earn money is great but when you're spending money on an education you're cheating yourself out of the value of your money if by earning money you are diminishing the quality of your learning.

I work mornings and work 40-50 hours a week, then go to class for 11 credits (1 credit shy of "full-time"). You can do it, d00d!

How many classes are you enrolled in?

It's a nice sunrise here.

I'll make a fine breakfast soon enough.

I think it looks snazzy:

Whoops, I forgot I enlarged it. I print it at 200 or 300 ppi, so it's only a couple inches wide and the gradient looks a lot better when it's that small.

Better known for De La Soul's sampling of it in Ring Ring Ring. Tight as.

Raayl that's ****ed man you got to have time to make your music and pump your guns.

De La Soul is t3h sh*t, man. I love old-school hip hop.

...I just found this CD at Best Buy last week and I fell in love
[url]http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-16-Hip-30th-Anniversary/dp/B000BF0DLK[/url]

I've always loved that bassline in Ring Ring Ring but hearing it in that Whatnauts song is even more awesome. Curtis McTeer rips it up for like seven minutes.

I was over jamming with some guys tonight (I'm in a 2nd band now), rehearsing for a show we have next month, and I mentioned to the guitarist/singer that he had some decent records, and he was like "Yeah? You spin too?" And I told him yes, so he told me to go search through the big piles in the other room because he didn't want any of it, and I could take anything I wanted from it, but told me there prolly wouldn't be anything good.

So I went digging, and pulled up:

Phil Collins - Face Value
New Order - Blue Monday
Frank Mills - The Poet and I
Portishead - All Mine
Tears for Fears - The Hurting
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
Paul McCartney - Tug of War (not a huge McCartney fan, but for free, I'll give it a try)
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
The Cure - Standing on a Beach (singles)
Johnny Cash - Special (20 Original Hits)
Queen - The Game
The Eagles - Hotel California
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon


Not a bad haul, I'd say.

around here "spinning" is what you call what djs do, although it doesn't assume vinyl will actually be used. like, "hey where are you going? chris is going to be spinning psytrance after this other dude stops spinning this wack *** hardcore house"

i'm also a vinyl head. mostly old jazz and classical music that i steal from my parents when i go by their place

Ah, well, maybe because we're backwards east-coasters, but spinning here in a casual sense just means listening to vinyls.

I'm into pretty much anything that I can find on vinyl. A lot of my collection is fairly modern (within 10 years), but I've got jazz and stuff that goes back.

Listening to the Pink Floyd right now. Still on Side A, but it sounds awesome. Not too much in the way of clicking or popping. I was worried, since these were in a cold basement and kind of just tossed aside.

my housemate has a few built to spill albums from the 90's, that's about the newest stuff we have. awesome awesome albums

he's also got a great classic rock collection, sabbath, stones, the beatles, pretty much all the essentials. our collections complement each other very well

LOVE Built to Spill.

Is good.
