I think to be honest we should probably declare this the MX Mary Elizabeth Winstead forum, not the bass forum.

I'm okay with that.

I take some issue with that, but if we could toss in a Scarlett Johannson or Elisha Cuthbert as well, I could deal with it.

No deal.

Say WHAAAA??

Anyway, breaks programmed, I'm off to read comics and go to sleep. Goodnight MEW thread!

I'm sorry but we need to include Scarjo, she is the only other celeb other than MWE that I would sacrifice a ball to be in the same bed with.

You know you can't touch any of my ghost chups!

Damnit, I want to build one of the BYOC Octave Dividers. It's like, a perfect Mutron clone for only $120.

Sounds so sexy:

I looked into it too but the fitness requirements are way beyond me.

Bro, Monique says you're dumb.

I reckon I could do it, especially once I've done a bit more training. We don't have to do like a set number of pullups or whatever over here, its more like a task based physical.

I think I'd be let down by not having enough kind of life experience tbh :/

You should do it man it's a great job, such a vital role in the community, that's one of those hero jobs.

Chris if you became a fireman you could be the man I listed above. A certified, card carrying, pimp cane wielding badass. Firemen pretty much have a license to chop thru any door on the planet (even the door to Fort Knox) with a fireman's axe, pound their chest like men (and cause a reverberation from said chest pound powerful enough to kill everything within ten miles should they so wish) and declare something really really manly like "I LIKE PUPPIES AND BUNNIES, YEAH!" or "PEACE REIGN ON EARTH, HALLELUJIAH!"

not to mention the whole thing about putting fires in their place and being an important member of an emergency response team/hero/general man in general.

Also not to mention if you were a bad-ass enough fireman MEW would probably leave whatever dude she's with to be with you, nah'mean? You'd probably need to master several accents though so you could be a multi-cultured manly loving fireman who would rock her to sleep in his big fireman arms and such.

man I'm out to go do some fireman training guys, I'll see ya.

I heard MEW also hates bassists and that Scott Pilgrim contained the hardest role she's ever had to play because she's so morally opposed to the electric bass.

I hope this is a bold-faced lie. I need proof, or maybe I don't.

please tell me this is not true.

I want to go hug my jazz bass now :/

also edit, I dug the Rick but oh man, was the bass-off liek the most complicating bass solos u've ever heard? I mean omg Jaco ain't got shit on Pilgrim and that other guy.

I've never seen it; I have no idea how complicated the bass solos were.

Also, I totally don't need another bass at all, but for $180 shipped to me, this 6-string Jazz beckons me...

In fact, if I could find a buyer, it might even be worth selling my current fretless 4-string jazz over.

I was reading this on the bus earlier and genuinely laughed, good job ;) I love everything about this post. Especially the advice of learning different accents to appear cultured, rather than y'know... actual languages!

1 - thought you didn't like Jazzes? :O
2 - you have a 4-string? larger :O I thought you had a massively customized squier precision, whoops.

The movie itself is pretty decent, but the bass playing leaves something to be desired. Which is to be expected, I mean I didn't go to it to expect Victor Wooten and Jaco facing eachother down in a bass to the death sorta thing.

Well maybe I did actually.

oh and were your statements about MEW liez for evorz?

Everytime I read her name in initials I think of pokemans. even though I never liked pokemans.

:D:D:D

I mean you can always talk sexy fireman talk, don't need to [B]actually[/B] do it in French/Spanish/Portugese/something/internet?/whatever. As long as there's a gorgeous French/Spanish/British/Portugese/Texas/Saturn/Newfie/Scottish (think Sean Connery) accent or something that's all you should need.

I mean extra languages are just a bonus. I can speak French fluently so I could be singing a girl who doesn't speak it to sleep and be singing about eating babies and setting cars on fire, and she'd just be thinking omg teh s3cks <3

oh wow, in that mega-huge fucking post I forgot to brag about potential instrument acquisition:

PRS Santana guitar, Traynor amp, and Yamaha drumset for under 700 dollars. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Just discovered texts from bennett. it's pretty much gold right here.

[quote=FunkMetalBass;18746905]I've never seen it; I have no idea how complicated the bass solos were.[/quote]

Watch the film dude. I will even send it to you so that you can see it.

The solos don't set the world on fire, but they fit really well with the film tbf.

And I have a British accent anyway, do I still need to acquire more accents, or will that one hold me over?

[quote=FlamingCouch;18747078]1 - thought you didn't like Jazzes? :O

1. I generally like Fender-styled basses, but they have to have significant upgrades over the typical Fender passive basses.
2. Yes, I have a 4-string jazz with a fretless maple SX neck. I have enough parts for 2 Squier P's, but I keep taking them apart and doing more stupid mods to them. I'm finally going to scrap one of the bodies and get a new black P-body, then have a tech install the humbuckers I want in it. The other will continue to be modded until there's no wood left.

I should really take another family picture. It's been a few years.

All bass in the battle scene was recorded by Justin Meldel-Johnson and Jason Falkner. I just checked out the clip from that scene and I was a little disappointed, especially with both of those guys doing the recording and so little focus on either actor's playing.

Interesting side note, JMJ played a Rickenbacker and recorded the Evil Ex (Mustang) part, and Falkner played a Mustang and recorded the Scott Pilgrim part (Rickenbacker). The reversal of instruments was completely unintentional.

Define "liez"?

JMJ didn't do all the bass. I'm not sure how much he did apart from that scene to be honest? For Sex Bob-Omb, the actors all played their parts, which meant most of them had to learn instruments from scratch for the movie. Except Michael Cera. The other actors in other bands still learnt the instruments to be able to mime convincingly (they learnt that bass battle for instance), even though other backing tracks were provided by bands like Metric.

I'm so gay for that film.
