[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;17911077]Any suggestions, guys? Do I break up with her, go bang nude-pic-chick, and then claim that I made a mistake and go back?[/QUOTE]
Win.

Nah, you don't need to go that far.

But should the event come up that your girlfriend goes snooping through your phone and discovers said pictures, just explain to her (preferrably in a non-defensive tone) what happened and how SHE sent YOU the pics, unprovoked, and that you didn't respond or do anything with them.

I know MY gf would understand lol, but I know that most girls I know aren't as logical as my girlfriend is.

Raayl, this is where I need your expertise. You are the definition of "man" on the MX bass forums.[/QUOTE]

idk dude

there is nothing wrong with some girl sending you nudes of herself i mean you didnt even ask for them

if your gf has a problem with it

then

its time for a new gf

buuuuuuut if you want to cheat then do it i dont really care. not a big deal to me. i dont cheat though i dont need to because i only date women that are on my wave length not dumb girls who dont understand how human beings relate to one another (IE most women)

i read some article the other day written by a girl which had a bunch of things to do to get away with cheating

a couple of the big ones:

1) dont tell anybody (including your bros)
2) make sure it is a one time deal and no attachment
3) make sure the girl has something to lose just like you do
4) if she's in your phone put her under a guy's name in case you get snooped
5) same applies to facebook/etc dont be FB friends

girls who have jealousy/snooping problems are generally abnormally insecure

and you dont want ANY PART of a relationship with an insecure woman

burtonbassist_102 04-07-2010 03:12 PM

^^This.

FunkMetalBass 04-07-2010 03:15 PM

Joel, good luck to you, sir, even though there are better products out there. :p

Burton, I hear ya - open and honest. I wouldn't cheat on her - I really don't feel compelled to, ya know? I'm sure my girlfriend would be understanding if I told her. I'm just not sure how I'd delicately approach the situation and bring it up, so I just wont. If it ever does come up, I can just explain to her what happened and how I handled the situation. If she's mad at that, then there's no hope and it's a sign the relationship is slipping. Abandon ship!

Raayl, actually, my girl doesn't snoop at all and totally trusts me - it's f**king fantastic (and totally unlike my last chaotic-mess-of-a-bitch-fest-ex-girlfriend). It's just not something I want hanging around on my phone, y'know? My luck is that a roommate of hers will look through my phone while I'm passed out drunk and find it, and that wouldn't be cool.

Lol thank you Joeski.

But it's that or the AX3000B. And I realized today that with the Boss one you can choose the order of your effects unlike the Korg one(which I think you can to a certain extent but not as much as the Boss). Which is a huge deal to me.


Plus money wise, I'm getting a better product worth more money than the Korg for the same price.


AAAANNNND as I discussed with FB earlier in the thread, I am not fussy when it comes to effects. I don't think anyone in the crowd is gonna care what settings are on my delay as long as it sounds like a mother****ing delay. I've screwed around tweaking plug-ins till I get them sounding awesome to know that I can do the same on the GT10b.

Plus I've heard some pretty good things about the effects on them. Cept' for the usual complaints about digital distortions which is rampant on most multi fx pedals.

Good plan.

I'm watching George Carlin right now. God he was amazing.

Convectuoso 04-07-2010 03:46 PM

God damnit. I won. But it cost an extra 150 than I originally had bidded :(

Not too bad, man. Just had the first show with the band on Friday; it went pretty well, all things considered. Mostly just working and drinking. My singer/guitarist started working at Picaroons (remember the beer I brought you), so, yeah... you can see where this is going. :lol:

Chance I might be up in Montreal at the end of the month (almost a year to the date of last time), if you're going to be around still.

I leave May 1st, in the afternoon. We can have a porchfest if you can make it. especially since my last two exams are on the 30th. I'll be ripe for a good time.

BenJammin 04-07-2010 07:13 PM

Excellent. I'll get back to you for sure once I know what's going on.

From practice, not the gig. I only wish the stage at the bar was this big.

Epidemechanical 04-07-2010 10:59 PM

Sablate McNuff 04-07-2010 11:03 PM

Ben, you guys have a big practice space.

Raayl - I deleted it. Why were you banned in the first place? Welcome back to freedom!

Epidemechanical 04-07-2010 11:11 PM

wtf why did you delete it

FAIL MORE PLZ

Spaceman Spiff 04-07-2010 11:58 PM

22 hours until paid vacation!

fatbandit 04-08-2010 05:52 AM

not at work today, fell over yesterday and bummed my leg up. don't think it's serious, just hurts to walk. so i'll probably only be off a day or two.

not done anything productive with the time off though!

Yeah, it's a theatre at a school. We get to rent it out for free on Sundays if no one else has booked it (they usually haven't), from 7 to 11.

Productivity is tough when you're trying to keep off your leg. Reading and thumbing through my math books is about all I could do when I hurt my knee snowboarding.

That's a pretty sweet idea. My old high school did that for a church group. I wonder if we could do the same thing.

Pretty sweet, yo. How's the Stammie working for ya? Ready to sell it to me yet?

The bass is wicked. I won't even touch any other bass; I brought my Ibanez as a backup to the show, but didn't even take it out of the case. Definitely getting some good mileage on it.

burtonbassist_102 04-08-2010 01:22 PM

How long did it take to get used to the fanned frets?

BenJammin 04-08-2010 01:31 PM

Not long. It's really natural feeling; the frets angle the same way my hand does. Playing parallel frets mess me up more now than the fanned frets ever did when I first got the bass (which was over 2 years ago, now).
