[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;13622476]Do you know a good program for converting audio files?

I have one, but it doesn't do FLAC for some reason.[/QUOTE]

I don't know one, no. I was gonna go hunting later.

Try there.

Meh. I'll wait. :p


Laziness conquers all.

Truly so.

I'm out to actually fully concentrate on my essays.

Back in a while.

So the regular bus that I take from school home wasn't running for some reason today. So the trip that take 12 minutes on one bus, turned into 50 minutes on two busses. I hate the bus.

That's why I drive.

My room is unreasonably cold right now and my room is the warmest part of the house.

I don't have the money to have a car. My apartment is always nice and warm. 11th floor does that.

Something I've never understood is when bands go on tour and play the exact same setlist every night. Where's the fun in that?

:wave:

Howdy. :wave:

hows everyone doing today?

mad headache right now, maaad headache.

Everybody give me attractive fretboard/top wood combinations.

I want something a little more exotic than an ebony fretboard/flamed maple top when I get my custom, and I want an idea of what I want before I place the quote request.

You going for a 9 string?

Coco Bolo is sex.

akira sorry about not getting back to you about the boa prelims date, i can rip a video of the show and put it up soon if you want

Muse are one of the only bands I know that change their songs/song order.

This is usually bad thing because there's always the chance you get the band end of the stick and the next date on the tour turns out to be 100gazillionx better.

[QUOTE=Akira;13622923]You going for a 9 string?

I've decided to go with an 8 with a d-tuner on the B string, if I really need to go any lower. A good speaker (i.e. my Epifani) really makes that B string sound immense, so I don't know if I need a whole extra string worth of lowness.

I like cocobolo as a fretboard material, but not as a top.

But if you're really into a band, there shouldn't be that big of a possibility that you're going to think the set was crap.

How did you guys do? Make it to the finals?

Whilst this is true, that doesn't stop the next date's setlist being 100gazzilionx better.

So you're going BEADGCFBb? That's hot.
You know what would really be cool? A 9 tuned B-Eb. That'd be like having a bass and guitar in one.

Cocobolo.

Yeah, my guitar playing friends aren't going to be very impressed when they start to solo and I solo higher.

Like I editted in to my other post, cocobolo for me only works well as a fretboard material. I don't care for it as a top wood.

Cocobolo is going to cost you big bucko, it's several times more dense than ebony, so difficult and arguous to work withand breathing in cocobolo is toxic.

Plus it aint cheap in the first place.

Do you think that if I'm paying for a custom bass, another couple hundred in extra wood costs is really gonna bug me? :lol:

Well I'm not sure how much more it would be, and if you where on a budget.

My budget is $3000-3500, so don't worry :)

Sexiest cocobolo EVAR.

It's also very nearly extinct, and used in pistol grips.

Sweet.

I really like spalted maple.
And it's not for everyone, but a nice, not too busy buckeye burl top makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
