God, you're going to be pissing out orange juice. at least that's what it'll look/feel like.

Vitamin B12, which usually has niacin lumoed in with it, is what turns your pee colors. I've never had a problem with niacin and weird-colored pee before.

I've also never taken double the dose before.

Everything from my chest up was RED this morning for about 20 minutes. I felt so hot. Too much...

[quote=gaslight;17557414]I suppose if you just recoat it with enough epoxy regularly it would survive.[/quote]

That's true. I think, instead, that I'll just make my Squier P-bass a fretless. Put a nice ebanol fretboard on there, paint the neck and headstock black, and essentially make it a stealth fretless P.

Why would you bother to replace the fretboard on a Squier? I mean, seriously. It's a waste of time.

maybe cuz he wants to?

I'd be purchasing a whole new neck:

Nothing Fender makes strikes me as "quality" anyways, so cheap aftermarket parts, a cheap ebanol neck, and some SD Quarter Pounders will make a fine fretless comparable to the CIJ/MIJ Fenders for less than $300.

[QUOTE=Pluperfect_Arson;17556663]Actually, I believe I could throw on a pair of shoes and run 5k without complications. I am extremely active, though, and I do not know your exercise habits.[/QUOTE]

I'm in pretty poor shape :lol:

[QUOTE=funkyhoney;17556716]What speed are you talking about "running" 5ks?

I can go that far at a quick jog, I usually only do around 3.5 interval training though.[/QUOTE]

Sprinting. I could easily jog it.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17556926]I might be able to run [jog] 5k, but I sure would be tired by the end of the second mile. Especially in the Arizona heat. Gah[/QUOTE]

It's getting colder here, too which apparently makes jogging/running easier.

If anyone is interested, I finished recording a new song that's going on my EP of solo bass music. It'll be the last bit of solo bass I'll be doing for a good while. Another track or two to finish it up and then I'll be posting the whole thing for free, anyway.

"Again and Again"

I played this one live a year or so ago, but I forgot how to play parts of it, so I had to rewrite it, haha. Oh well... any excuse to work in that open B. ;) Which I find myself using more and more. I guess writing lines to go under two guitarists does that.

I killed it, eh?

Well played, sir. Well played.

/pats self on back

[QUOTE=Sablate McNuff;17557343]I'd be worried that rounds would do too much damage to my fretboard.[/QUOTE]

It is not a huge worry, imo.

When I defretted my GSR200, I put six coats of poly over the fretboard, and it has held up like a champ to abuse.

If worse comes to worse and you have grooves in your board, you could always plane it, then coat it again.

It is why harder woods, like ebony, are generally better for fretless. :D

[QUOTE=DaveSavesTheDay;17557659]It's getting colder here, too which apparently makes jogging/running easier.[/QUOTE]

There was an article in Runner's World about running in the cold and running in 0-degree weather.

I know I posted this link before, but this band is fu[size=2]cking[/size] awesome. I'm going to see them live tomorrow night and I'm stoked.

Oh yeah, and the Mars Volta show was incredible. I was right up front, maybe two or three rows back from the barrier. The sound was great even from up there. Cedric's singing was amazing all night.

i wonder if they've ever tried datura. i hope not for their sake

What is it?

[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura[/url] basically another type of poisonous hallucinogen...

Sounds like Conor Oberst went rock.


a.k.a. I wish they had a different singer, because they'd be pretty cool.

Yeah, his voice does sound similar to Conor Oberst.

I'm a fan of Bright Eyes, so that doesn't bother me. I think this guy sings really well, has great control over his voice. The girl sounds great, too. Their voices work really well together.

My manager found out I screwed one of the bar girls and was telling me to take her into the cold room at the hotel tonight. I think she was serious too. +1 for cool managers.

New bass by the end of today (Friday) barring any unforeseen delays.

More info needed!

Need pictars.

Is it this one?

Actually yeah :eek:, how did you know?

I think I'm developing a cashew addiction... I bought a 500g bag tonight :(

Cashews are a fine nut just don't go overboard or you'll make yourself crook :lol:.

I know, I've gotta keep it in check. I started eating them at work instead of potato chips and now... Well.. I can't stop.

Cashew chips in the future? I think so.

I don't like my (Sablate's) new avatar. It'd be cool if the transparency worked.

[quote=gaslight;17559621]Cashew chips in the future? I think so.[/quote]

That'd be delicious. All they have to do is make them like they make Pringles - grind them up, turn them into a paste, and mold them to chip shape.

I'm taking a different approach with my jazz bass. Instead of the p-bass neck, I bought this one:

Lined fretless. Equally as cool, but infinitely sexier.

Damn, this Cas is dddeeeaaaaddddd
