It's 2:10 here in Michigan.



:amaze:

1:10 here.

I justput strap locks onto my Conklin. Fixed the strap pin problem right away. :D Now I need to look into a new amp and preamp...

*tags MadThumbs as he leaves the ring*

Hello MX!

Hey Wintermute. :) What's up?

Not all that much, really. Spent a while at work today, but now I'm back a-grooving and a-surfing like I do most nights.

You?

You know, soon won't have to bother looking for threads that need closing - I can just search for ones where you've mentioned my name!

Haha! :p

I'm playing my Conklin and I'm really intrigued by JPBass's wiring in his custom bass. It's so awesome. I played a Musicman Sterling the other day and loved the series/parallel.

Everyone on this board has much better kit than me!

Well, I'll just smirk at you all over the net, which I'm browsing on my brand new laptop.

I bet my amp sucks more than yours!!!

Conklin GT-7 through a 10 watt with a 6" speaker is a no-no.

Lapatop. My brother wants one. :p

is that your only amp?

Yes. It's horrible!

Next purchase is a 180+ watt amp. :p HOPEFULLY a Roland DB-500.

o man i feel sorry for you. i had to go for about a year with a 10 watt amp and i hated it.

Hah! At least I have a good amp. *sneers at Foxfire*

I may be playing a Vintage-brand MusicMan Replica (basically an OLP MusicMan) but at least it's coming through a 12" Carlsbro Bassine 120W.

^ :p Next month = new amp. Yaaaaaaaaaay. :p

I'm talking with the Guitar Lab guy about doing some custom wiring on my Conklin. o_O

woah!! page 99!!!! winter, i think you should close it on 100.

so, whats every body been doing today?

I got in a fight with a drunk... my old drummer. it was really funny! he was swinging at me and stuff and i was just stepping back every time he swung. I was reeeeeeaally tempted to just lay into him (i hate him) but i used my little self control and told myself it aint fair to fight a drunk when im sober... I may just kick his *** at school instead :D

Quite a good day, someone had a giant cigar which was about 1 inch and a half wide and about 15 inches long :D It was brilliant (even though i dont smoke)


well, thats my day!


oh, and ive started playing guitar alot more and im VERY P!SSED OFF WITH B&Q!!! (a diy shop)

so i defretted my bass, did a real nice job on it and i put the first coat of laquer on it (polyuratahne, gloss, walnut colour). It said takes 16-24 hours to dry. a day later, oh, its still sticky, ill leave it another day. next day, hmmm... still sticky? ill leave it another day. Its now a weeks and a half later and its still as sticky as after 2 days... I think it was faulty laquer so im going to ring B&Q up and ask them about it. If it turns out they have ryined my neck im getting some god d,amn compensation of those ****,ers.

*is angry now*

later

foxfire: ohhhhh, what custom wiring?

I like that guy, i had a conversation with him about pickups and how he thinks bartolinnis are really over-rated.

nice guy

No closing at 100! We're aiming for the top. :cool: Plus new Casual threads start on Mondays, yes?

ok then :)

so what wiring you getting done?

Well I've been thinking about a few things. At the moment my bass has:
Some Bartolini active pickups and preamp
Volume
Pickup balancer
Treble
Bass

What I want (this is partially inspired by JP and partially inspired by Curbow):
*Aguilar OBP-3 Preamp
*Concentric Volume (so I can have a knob for each pickup without needing more space)
*Treble
*Concentric Mid (High-mid and Low-mid)
*Bass
*Resonance
*Series/Normal/Parallel switch for EACH pick-up (that's two)
*Active/Passive push/pull switch

JP also has a "Frequency" knob...any insight into this? I did [i]not[/i] take the Resonance idea from him; I have resonance on my crappy 10 watt. :p

That'll be quite a setup if you pull it off.

you got a quote on the cost of that yet? thats gunna be an expensive job though!

you get that done and you have a bass for life (even though your conklin is already for life...)


and the seizures? so sue me!


(please dont)

Yeah I'm thinking it'll cost around 500+. In all honesty, though, I was considering getting another Conklin and defretting it; this gives me more tonal possibilites and will last forever.

If I have around 800 I was considering getting a Piezo too. Ahahaha. :eek:

I sent him asking for a quote about half an hour ago. When I get it I'll tell you. :cool:. The thing is, I was going to change the preamp anyways. The Bartolini preamp they have is REALLY noisy. :(

bartolini to an aguilar? mmmmm.....

kool man, yeah they took 2 days to get back with my quote for my dream bass, it would only cost something like £1500!

the news about ioplayobass is sad :(

im sitting here eating a giant box of gummy bears :D:D:D



any got any idea about my laquer problem?

No. :( I'm not good with stuff like that. (that=laquer)

.....i just ate a plate of pasta, a king size bombay bad boy pot noodle, a cheese tostie, 2 minie roles, 2 alpine bars and a bakewel tart........i feel very sick

^^^woah!!!!! thats hardcore man! good work soldier: keep it up!

:wave:


Hello all.



Page One-Hundred. Sweet mother of mercy...

:amaze:

Hehehe.

Happy 100th page, everyone!

wooooooooooo (roundabout by yes is soooo good)

:chug:

Hurray.

Cheers.

Good afternoon, bassist MXers! I hope everyone got outside at some point today. I picked a bunch of tomatoes and vacuumed out my car. :lol:

*drinks to page 100*

I'd like to use this page, to tell the gruesome story of my show last night.

5 people got seriously injured, and the venue doesn't want us back
A boy got a hole in his cheek.
A boy broke his jaw.
A boy broke his nose
A girl got a chunk out of her ear.
A boy got his teeth through his lip.

I feel awful.

^^ Although I don't think I should be asking, but what happened?

Was it your music that riled them up Kwash? Or were they just idiots to begin with?

WTF? :amaze:

Kind of both. I know that the kid with the whole in his cheek (its actually not a big hole, small, kind of like a piercing hole) and the girl were both attacked by this drunk psychopath.

He got arrested.

The venue said "do not make them mosh, our insurance doesn't cover it!". We didn't tell them to mosh, they just did. Natural reaction.

[QUOTE=Foxfire]WTF? :amaze:[/QUOTE]
We have some hardcore fans I guess.

Apparently so.


Meh.


:chug:

I told you we'd make it
