New sets of straplocks on my SRX500 and SR700, now all my basses are Schallered up.

:)

My M9 should be here today... no sign of it yet. But the thing puzzling me is that I definitely bought it, received SMS confirmation that the order had not only been received and processed, but dispatched too. Yet no money has left my bank account? :s

gaslight 10-17-2009 07:00 AM

So what is the M9 anyway?

That is funny, I order a lot of stuff couriered and sometimes I've had the product for a day or two before it all seems sorted out in my bank account.

fatbandit 10-17-2009 07:08 AM

I dunno, first time it has happened to me! Normally just get charged straight away. Really beginning to wonder if it'll turn up today. I mean it's only 2 o'clock, but I've already been out and done my day's delivery and been home for over an hour...

The M9 is a new Line 6 toy. Never thought I'd sell off my pedalboard for a multi-fx unit, but I just have done. Odd, seeing as the M13 didn't catch my imagination at all, but the M9 seems really interesting. It's a pedalboard modeller... I guess that's the best way to explain it. Not really a typical multi, and not an amp modeller like most other Line 6 stuff.

That seems like a pretty sweet toy man, if we were little kids I'd totally be friends with you just to use it.

I'm gonna start saving my pennies for an Akai Headrush II that'll be a fun toy also.

fatbandit 10-17-2009 07:23 AM

Yeah, I've had a couple of loopers, and the M9 has a looper in too... I can't seem to find a good way to use them live. You have to have mega timing as well, and a good drummer. I'm jealous of people who use them well. Seen a band a couple of times called Brontide who are on holy roar records, and their guitarist is great with his loopers. Minus the Bear use DL4s wonderfully too of course.

gaslight 10-17-2009 07:29 AM

Yeah I doubt I'd use them in a band, more just to tool around on my own with. I'm looking to get into some solo performing on bass and guitar at different times next year, just open mic/busking kinda schtick but should be fun times once I get a tiny little amp or something.

fatbandit 10-17-2009 07:33 AM

Unless you're amazing, don't busk on bass. It won't go down well :(

gaslight 10-17-2009 07:43 AM

It'd go down alright around here the in the artsy neighbourhoods. I could work up a decent set solo but with a looper it'd be a fair sight easier. Definitely be easier and more accessible to do on guitar though.

funkyhoney 10-17-2009 11:09 AM

I... Am in a whole new state of drunken stupor.

Spaceman Spiff 10-17-2009 11:18 AM

I'm sober. And I'm watching Yes Man. It's a funny one.

gaslight 10-17-2009 11:19 AM

I'm sober and chillin'.

I can't wait for tomorrow I'm gonna buy new batteries at the store for spare for my basses and some new cereal, and I've got a jam lined up with some buddies. Gonna be fine times I may even find room for sleep before that action.

BenJammin 10-17-2009 11:26 AM

I'm also sober, and I just got home from a job interview. They told me I'd hear back in about a week from now on whether or not I got the job. They waited 20 minutes and then phoned me and told me I got it. :lol:

fatbandit 10-17-2009 11:29 AM

only candidate? ;)

Awesome.


I don't know if you like Wilco, but when I saw them a couple nights ago Feist came out for a song that she sang on their new album.

It was an absolutely incredible show.

gaslight 10-17-2009 11:32 AM

Nice one dude what's the job? I start a new job next week that I'm pretty stoked about.

BenJammin 10-17-2009 11:34 AM

They're a band I've always meant to get into, but never did. Where should I start?

[QUOTE=gaslight;17579166]Nice one dude what's the job? I start a new job next week that I'm pretty stoked about.[/QUOTE]

It's a retail position at Future Shop. I'll be working in the entertainment department... i.e. video games, movies, and music.

gaslight 10-17-2009 11:37 AM

Not bad at all, casual, part time, full?

BenJammin 10-17-2009 11:39 AM

[QUOTE=gaslight;17579173]Not bad at all, casual, part time, full?[/QUOTE]

It's full time seasonal, with the promise of a permanent job in January if I do well.

gaslight 10-17-2009 11:40 AM

Top stuff :).

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17579170]They're a band I've always meant to get into, but never did. Where should I start?[/QUOTE]

Probably start with [I]Yankee Hotel Foxtrot[/I]. I really like [I]Summerteeth[/I], but it's not usually regarded as one of their best. And their new album, which is self titled, is very good.

Oh good, now you can afford all of your expensive habits.

BenJammin 10-17-2009 12:47 PM

[QUOTE=Efrim;17579269]Oh good, now you can afford all of your expensive habits.[/QUOTE]

Basically. Beer and beef, here I come.

This also means that a potential visit can be afforded, once I get an idea of my hours and ability to take time off.

Efrim 10-17-2009 01:36 PM

Excellent, most excellent. By the time you get that sorted, my various midterms and papers will be over.

BenJammin 10-17-2009 01:37 PM

Well, then you can drag your a[size=2]ss[/size] up here instead. :p

fatbandit 10-17-2009 03:28 PM

Oh my.

Life changing experience, right there.

BenJammin 10-17-2009 03:29 PM

I made it halfway through and then died.

fatbandit 10-17-2009 03:32 PM

This guy has like 150 videos on youtube. It's an absolute goldmine XD

That was one of the better tube vids I've seen in recent memory.

I actually went back to look at his channel...love it:D

gaslight 10-18-2009 04:43 AM

New six string sounded bitchin' in a rehearsal today. Good times.

fatbandit 10-18-2009 05:24 AM

check his version of small town boy. the first minute of it is genius

Spaceman Spiff 10-18-2009 09:38 AM

Everything for this new EP is done except for a bit of vocals on one song and drums on all of it. Should be totally done in a week or two at most. Then we'll put it up for free listening and download.

funkyhoney 10-18-2009 09:50 AM

Didn't you release an album like a month ago?

Spaceman Spiff 10-18-2009 10:13 AM

[QUOTE=funkyhoney;17580765]Didn't you release an album like a month ago?[/QUOTE]

Yeah.

But we write and (plan to) record a lot of music. Now that I have the means to record in my home the music is just going to keep coming.

gaslight 10-18-2009 10:22 AM

Nice one man, best way to practise it all is to do it.

Spaceman Spiff 10-18-2009 10:27 AM

This EP is 5 songs, about 20 minutes. Since it's the Capital H lineup, I really just want to release it as Capital H. The only thing is that it sounds very different from what we've done.

I guess we'll see.
