[QUOTE=PaulSimonon;18054023]I'm still not Paul, haha.

I do, it's currently in pieces, but it's in my possession. My only bass that sees any playing time is a late model Peavey Foundation MIA active 5. Cirrus electronics, ash body, maple neck. Great bass.[/QUOTE]

a: Sure, sure. You say that now... but just wait 'til they resurrect Joe Strummer and you'll be plucking a different tune.

b: In pieces?! WHAAAA? I remember when that thing was pretty much God! Did it self-destruct? Get parted out? Something else?

My (useless except for trivial things) photographic memory also remembers your tripod page - the only thing I remember is a weird color scheme and the sentence "Bringing the low end. Since a while." So that's weird.

In other news, the Jazz bass shipped out yesterday. Texas to BC = a million years, I'm sure. but I'm so stoked to get it - in talks with a shop here about getting the electronics through them, see what they have to say. should be neat.

lawl. you're holding it wrong... What a society we live in; where people are so hooked on technology that they can't even bother to learn about. I mean, come on! a phone?

to hell with this, I'm kicking my low-tech protest up a notch! I'm buying a god damn ice box! and converting my house to excersise bike power! It'll be great.

If you really read through it, it sounds more like a big, inconvenient design flaw on Apple's part.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;18054721]If you really read through it, it sounds more like a big, inconvenient design flaw on Apple's part.[/QUOTE]

Ahhhh, you got me Sir. I did just re-read it again - read it the first time too, but the antenna spiel didn't really stick in the ole brain. Didn't really put two and two together. So I see where you're coming from now.

Although I remain head-strong about my low-tech cause. I may be sarcastic, but I do try to avoid integrating high-tech whatnot into my personal affairs. I've never been one for the real flashy gear, so none of that really affects me in any way.

but yeah, again I did re-read it and for those on the boards using cells it's definitely a sore spot, I'm sure. Not to mention proof that companies do not give a sh[SIZE="2"]it about[/SIZE] their customers, and are only in it to turn out a crap product for cheap and reap top dollars for it. but hey.

I wanted to get the frets dressed, so I took it to my friend's dad's shop and it just never got done... I'm kinda pissed about it. It sat for a long time and now I seem to be missing some hardware.

I don't even remember that tripod page, haha.

What are you throwing in the jazz?

Whatever I can get for a decent price that resembles a MM Stingray pickup. I've asked about them a few pages back and there were quite a few responses to who makes a gooder, so when the store calls me and tells me what they have (unless they're wimps at which point I'll have to call them) I'll figure things out, or just buy the P/U from ebay too.

The bass is going to be totally redone too - defret, sanded down and painted translucent white (if I can find the paint) and I'll be routing and adding some wood to the body to do all the mods I'm desiring. Should be interesting as it's my first big chore of the sort.

and I have no idea why I remember the tripod page, as stated previously it's one of those silly things I remember... but of course that fills up my brain instead of [U][B]any[/B][/U] math I learned in school that isn't 2+2 is 4! 2+2 is 4!, etc. Ahhh, ignorant bliss.

I'm finding out more and more that I like the playability of my Spector Legend (w/ upgrades) more than I like my Schecter Studio (w/ upgrades). The neck feels thinner and it balances a little bit better.

I may end up **gasp** selling off another bass. That'll leave me with only 3 functioning basses. Wtf will I do with myself?

Only 3? **** man, you won't be allowed to post on Talkbass anymore.

[quote=gaslight;18058419]Only 3? **** man, you won't be allowed to post on Talkbass anymore.[/quote]

Nah, it just means that I'll have to get off my *** and fix up the P-bass and Brice fretless 6er that are still in pieces in my garage. At 5, I'm still allowed on talkbass. And thanks to my bedroom amp, I can always hang out at TalkAmps.

It also means I'll probably have to get a new bass. If the Brice fretless doesn't play as nicely as I want it to, I'll get another 6-string Spector Legend and have it defretted and epoxied. Omg fretless mwah-gasm!

I'm quite content to have 2 basses. I only play my Ibanez as backup (so... never). Mostly only play my Stambaugh.

Your Ibanez is only a 4-string with parallel frets. I probably wouldn't ever play it either. :p

4 strings and normal frets? I can't believe don't vomit the second they hear it.

[quote=gaslight;18059815]4 strings and normal frets? I can't believe don't vomit the second they hear it.[/quote]

I know. What is the bass world coming to!?

How's it going, Gaslight? What's been up, dude?

Nothing good or interesting man, same old crap.

Well that's boring. At least make up something so that this forum doesn't appear so lame on the surface.


Btw, has anybody heard from Funky lately? Is he on tour or something?

Nah if he was on tour he'd be bragging about it on here every day.

Bit of a mystery, maybe he moved into a sharehouse somewhere and doesn't have internet, but it's almost impossible to not have internet if you want it.

Maybe he was attacked by another shopper in his liquor store. Maybe this time, it escalated to an all-out brawl in which he got to pound somebody's face into the ground and only suffered a few stab wounds in the process. Then, he proceeded to write a song about it later that night while he was high and eating Vegimite. He submitted the incredible musical masterpiece to his manager and his manager took it straight to the top record executives in the U.S. He is currently in the process of signing a contract whereby he receives $2 million up front, is guaranteed 11 albums, and will go on multi-national tours with the bands of his choosing for the next 20 years.

He has to keep quiet about it all for now, though. It's in his contract.

Unless he got rid of it and has a different one, Ben's Ibanez is a 6.

Wasn't he the owner of an old Ibanez Musician or something? I could have sworn that he only had a 4.

Who is Ben? If I remember correctly Ryan has an old Ibanez Musician, a cheapo six string something or other, and some other thing.

I'm Ben, you nub.

And, yeah, my Ibanez is a 6. The only basses I own right now are all 6 strings.

Sr506?

Yep

It makes sense. It has a very crisp, clear tone, which is what you dig.

Oh, I know you're Ben. I thought they meant Ryan was Ben.

506 would be tight, I have a 706 which I imagine is barely different at all.

I'm Ben, Ryan.

iron maiden owns music

just finished the final season of lost

****ing awesome show

lol@people who are so stupid and literal and naive that they need the show to hold their hand and take them through every symbol metaphor and dialogue so instead they say the finale sucked

I've honestly never seen an episode, should I look into it?

lol only if you want to experience what might be the greatest entertainment experience of your life

but be careful

lost is awesome so its probably illegal in your **** country

Nah we've had it for ages I just never bothered watching it.

a lot of the show takes place in australia

watch it

I've heard it's a great show, but you have to watch it from the beginning or you'll be completely lost.

I've never seen an episode, personally, but I figure I'll pick up the box set some day.

yes you have to start at episode 1 season 1 as with any show idk why that is new or surprising to anybody

[quote=Raayl;18068248]yes you have to start at episode 1 season 1 as with any show idk why that is new or surprising to anybody[/quote]

Because this is America and we like the entire story to be combined into a single one-hour television program (22 minutes without commercials).

Most other shows, you can miss an episode here and there and get the gist of it. I've heard that [i]Lost[/i] is not that way.

Trailer Park Boys

no lost is not that way and thats why its simply wonderful

i promise its not what youre expecting

if you like science fiction, watch lost
if you like theoretical physics, watch lost
if you like incredibly deep, fleshed out characters that evolve and change drastically as the show progresses, watch lost
if you like massive ensemble casts, watch lost
if you like mystery, suspense, and obscure literary references, watch lost
if you like religion, religious studies, the religion vs science debate, watch lost
if you like a show that paints all women as utter annoying failures, watch lost
if you want to stare at the screen every episode mouthing "...what the ****?" watch lost

but be careful and make sure you keep going

you're going to have so many questions that aren't going to be answered till season 6

like in season 1, episode 1, they encounter the "monster"

it isn't until the 15th episode of the 6th season that you learn what that monster actually is and where it came from

but trust me its worth getting there.

Lost is a waste of time imo.

Sup?

lol australians have dumb opinions who woulda guessed
