buy a burmese python and leave the window cracked.

There was a great hidden camera sketch show scene, I think it was a UK show, where they left a rigged car in a high crime neighbourhood unlocked with the keys in it.

These two youths try to steal it but the engine won't go, then the lights turn on inside and the doors lock automatically and they're freaking out. They have the dashboard light up and they've got a computer voice going like "unauthorised access detected, engine immobilised, doors secured" and the kids are freaking out. Then they pump out some green smoke while it says "poison gas deployed, poison gas deployed" and the kids are shitting themselves screaming trying to get out, then it's already been funny so they unlock the doors and the kids bolt for it.

Golden :lol:.

theres a show on in california called "bait car" where they leave a nice car with the keys in it infront of minorities and then they arrest them......

I thought this is what gaslight was talking about. I've seen it a few times or something similar, it's a good idea though, catches opportunistic douchebags.

"Waaah, I'm a minority so I'm hard done by!" Stop conforming to racial stereotypes, become a contributing member of society and shut the **** up.

That sounds a like that show in Texas where they leave car with the keys in it front of minorities and then lynch them.

Except that one doesn't have cameras.

well, its kinda hard to break out of a stereotype like first generation slavery/complete poverty.


if someone threw $500 dollars at you would you pick it up. if the answer is anything other than what im thinking, you're a lair.

Why would anyone not pick up $500?

Picking up money is a little different from stealing a motor vehicle :lol:

Yeah it's somewhat completely different.

That's like saying "if someone gave you a Porsche you'd take it".

Of course I'd take it if it was given to me for free.

Then I'd sell it 'cause I don't want a Porsche, but still.

Anyone wanna buy/trade my Warwick Corvette FNA Jazzman fiver?

Hmm...

Sort of tempted but I dunno, I probably wouldn't.

Got any pics of it anyway for shits and giggles?

It's an awesome bass, I'd let it go for well under what I paid for it - I've got other gear that I need, and this one is just kinda taking up space at the moment.

Looks like a beaut mate but honestly I've got no money for adding basses to the family at the moment :(.

Damn shame :p I really do love this bass, but I think it's time to move on - the sound really isn't what I'm looking for in my current band. I've been scouring Talkbass to find someone who wants to trade a nice five string jazz for a Warwick. No luck as yet :(

Best bet is probably to try and sell it to a bass shop like Bass Centre or something, and just put the money towards a Jazz.

Yeah, I'm thinking I may take it in somewhere and see what kind of cash I can get for it.

Great show on Friday. Another excellent turn out, cheap drinks, our best payout yet, and being told that whenever we want to play again, just give them a call.

Gaslight: it sounds like one of the speakers is rattling or fuzzing (not sure which... it wasn't the best environment to test it when I first noticed).

Something similar is up with my 212. When playing certain notes at high volumes, it sounds like there's a rattling or quacking kind of sound coming from the cab. It's quite noticeable when just the bass is playing, but strangely, if I just rest my knee a little on the grille, then the sound goes away completely. I'm hoping it is just something is loose in there.

I will trade you my Musician for it.



loljoks. But I would actually trade my Curbow for it. Not that you'll want that :lol:

If it were a 6-string, I would in a heartbeat.

I've decided to attempt to make the body of the OLP nice again. I bought it for practicing anyway. I figure, worse case scenario, I'll have acquired a few more tools and skills. Plus, the body can't be made worse, so every little bit means a higher selling price.

If you have one buzzing speaker, have a look at the speaker dust cabs. One of my speakers as rattling for ages, and it turned out to be a catastrophically torn dust cap. Now I always play with a 50Hz high pass filter right before my amp to stop stuff like that happening.

I have no idea what 90% of that means.

My friends and I were doing some ghost riding last night. It was tons of fun. I'll definitely need to do more of it.

The circle in the middle of the speaker is the dust cap. It can tear, and flap around when you play.

And the 50Hz high pass stops anything below 50Hz reaching the cab. Most cabs can't handle much below the 45Hz range, so sometimes you just pump some super lows which aren't really audible into your cab, and it can't reproduce them, but asks too much of the speaker, and does nasty things, like rip the dust cap etc.

Ahh. Well, I'd have thought my cabs were designed for that sort of thing, since I thought Epifani would take those sorts of things into consideration.

I'll look into it in better depth in a few days. I don't even have my cab around right now.

We also had a professional photographer taking pictures of us ghost riding. Not that she had anything set up to make it look extra cool or fancy, she just had her camera with her because she was shooting a concert earlier in the night. I can't wait to see the pictures. It's just such a fun and funny thing to do.

Is that safe?

On Talkbass, I posted that rosewood fretboards + black guitar bodies was an ugly combination, and somebody sent me a message insulting me and then putting me on his/her block list.

Lol. People take personal offense to the most random things.

Nothing brings out the pedantic arsehole in people quite like discussing subjective issues.
