:upset: That's only AUD 70 :upset:

So this is why I used to fail maths.

:lol: Stupid countries and their stupidass dollars! :p

:p

I hate conversion. I've gotten into the habit of saying "USD" instead of "$" as of late. Why?

Person: "How much does X bass usually cost on stores?"
Me: "X $"
Person: "OMGWTF do you mean Aussie dollars, US dollars, British dollars (why they don't realize that I said DOLLARS not POUNDS is beyond me), Italian dollars (again...), <insert other really stupid thing to say>.

Of course, my friends don't know what "USD" means so they're like "WTFs a USD???"

*sigh*

I use USD because the 4 key on the top line has gone missing (On UK keybpards that's where the $ sign is)

^ It's the same in the US.

$4$4$4$4$4$

We don't have a pound key. I imagine you guys do, though.

Right? :p

yeah, shift 3. I'd be buggered without that

#

^my shift+3

We actually have a # key. shift and # = ~

The worst is when they don't even go that far, and say they want a new bass for 1200.

£? US$? HK$? AU$? Yen? Euros? CA$?

We must guess.

Yeah haha.

Like if I said my new bass is costing 1150, and you assumed it was American, that would be a fair bit hey?

If I assumed pounds it would be a fair bit more, and I tend to assume pounds.

What really bugs me is when I remember that $ means peso, and that a dollar sign is an S with [b]2[/b] lines through it.

An American dollar has two signs through it, Australia's dollar just has one.

These past few posts have reminded me that i need a job.

Oh man.....
It's too late, I know, but I thought of the best title for this thread.

Casual 11: What you screaming for, Kevin?

*stumbles in, flops onto comfy chair, sips on coffee*

You guys, I just had the most AWESOME weekend. Spent two nights on Bourbon St. in New Orleans partying like I was 21- and realizing I wasn't the morning after. :lol:

Played an Ibanez SR305 at Guitar Center- it was the only 5 string they had out in my price range- and thought the B was not good, so as far as I'm concerned, no 34" 5 strings for me. But I did like the feel of the bass in general. Liked it MUCH better than my monster P.O.S. Squier, but considering the amount of money we blew in N.O., I won't be ponying up for a new bass for QUITE a while.

So anywho, I'm here at work, tired nearly senseless (YAY for caffeine!), and looking forward to heading home in 3 hours. I'll post pictures of the drunken debauchery later (and there was a TON, I tell you).

Don't you just hate not having the cash to buy better gear because of [i]bills?[/i]

I always see people here talking about saving up for things that I won't have the money to buy for eight years.

Most of these people still live with their folks. :p

^ Oath.

That's why I'm buying as much gear as possible before I move out, because it's the easiest way to get stuff.

When I move out I'll have to spend money on real things, so for now, while my financial situation is pretty sheltered, I get to stock up on the stuff that I hope will one day pay itself off many times over.

/Dreams... :(

:D

Hell yeah. I wish I'd done that. I used to make about $140 a week when I was in High School.

If I'd known then what I know now I'd have a cumstom made bass and a Workingman's Rig.

I hear ya! Of course, if we hadn't tried drinking our way into the poorhouse ($200+ for two of us on Friday alone!) we might not be so broke.... :lol:

haha.. yeah, back at home i was actually saving money to buy things I really needed.. but since I'm in college, all I've been spending money on is alcohol and drugs... oh well, so much for that 5 string. :upset:

Just a little FYI, don't make such a branching generalization about 34" 5-strings on such a lowend model Ibanez. 305s are really the cream of the crap when it comes to Ibanez models.

yeah, alcohol is bad. It takes money away from other addictions such as bass.

I'm currently about £1,600 in credit with a £1250 overdraftso I got plenty of money... until accomodation and tuition fees go out. that's about £1,000 leaving me with £500ish... fretless bass it is! :D

My yamaha BBG5A has a 34" scale. It's not bad at all. Worst comes to worse, you could just get a heavier guage B

I was really very disappointed in the selection, overall. I won't be going to that Guitar Center again. They had the 305s, and then.... WHAM! On to the Warwicks. I was like WTF????

Although I have no idea of the next time I'll make it to the Cities. Which stinks.

Hi everyone, what's up?
