In the end I asked on the Dean forum, and some guy with a pile of back-catalogues found it. The online 'Ask Dean' email thing didn't know, but random forum guy did.

The fact that it predates the popular rise of the internet means that it is hard to find info on online.

My bass was a bit over $1000 AUD.

:upset:

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 09:52 AM

Is it just me, or is Coffee back at the moment? I thought I just saw him post...

Spaceman Spiff 10-27-2004 09:53 AM

are Squier guitars as cheap/crappy as the basses?

Wintermute 10-27-2004 09:54 AM

Basically, yeah.

A friend of mine played his squier guitar once too often and went out and bought an Epiphone Studio, and put Seymour Duncan pickups in. The difference was staggering. From Squier to high quality guitar. You should HEAR the new one...

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 09:54 AM

He is back!! Two posts today!

*wants new bass badly but wants new house more*

*also wants to thwap stupid people*

Stupid Person 1: "Do you know the hours for the Commons? Are they posted somewhere?"

Me: (smiling through clenched teeth): "They're on the board." (Which you had to LOOK AT to see you had to sign in, which is why you're at my desk in the first place....)

Next time, don't clench your teeth, just bite them. Hard. You know you want to. Stupid people deserve it.

Hello all. What have i missed. Anything good

ShelBel 10-27-2004 10:06 AM

Can I get that in writing? ;)

"But.... he TOLD me I COULD!" :lol:

Why don't you read the thread and find out? ;)

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:06 AM

Reminds me of the Red Bull game I was forced to play at work. You play it when someone says 'Scuse me mate, have you got any Red Bull?'

The aim of the game is to say the following without sounding sarcastic:

"Yes, it's over there in the giant fridge shaped like a Red Bull can and painted to resemble a Red Bull can, which you have just walked past. Three times."

Print it off and tape it to your desk, so that people can see it when they walk up, so that it acts as a disclaimer to ignorant/stupid people.

Jamie 10-27-2004 10:10 AM

^^^^ hahahahah!! i cant even say that to myself without laughing!

where you work winter?

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:10 AM

Neither could I!

It reminds me that I have to get a job though.... :upset:

ShelBel 10-27-2004 10:11 AM

LOL @ Wintermute! Yeah, exactly.

Its a wonder no one has mentioned that the TVs are off over here. I should call the info desk and let them know...

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:12 AM

That was when I worked in the village newsagent. There were some strange people there... Every Saturday at 4pm a drunk old man came in and bought 5kg of birdseed. I always wondered whether he needed it, or if every Sunday morning he woke up in a huge pile of birdseed going 'oh no... not again!'

Still, he was one hell of a tipper.

Haha.

Should say "No, I'm sorry, we don't stock that particular drink."

Then watch them walk past it on the way out, and hopefully notice, and be all "wtf."

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:14 AM

*wakes up*

Dammit, not the birdseed again!

*Feels hangover*

*Goes back to sleep*

ShelBel 10-27-2004 10:14 AM

Maybe he just liked how the birdseed felt on his skin and would take it home, fill up his bathrub, and roll in it... :D

coddingtown 10-27-2004 10:16 AM

[QUOTE=ShelBel]Maybe he just liked how the birdseed felt on his skin and would take it home, fill up his bathrub, and roll in it... :D[/QUOTE]

If I had a bathtub full of birdseed, I would never leave it. Ever.

I'll have to try that sometime.....

ShelBel 10-27-2004 10:20 AM

I'd avoid the thistle seed- its tiny stuff and pointy to boot. ;)

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:20 AM

Keep your windows shut, or you'll be flocked.

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:21 AM

Thanks for the tips.

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:21 AM

Send photos! (but be sure to fill the bath to a decent level first)

gaslight 10-27-2004 10:23 AM

Man, speaking of baths, I haven't had a bath in AGES. I'm a shower person lately, mainly because the bathtub in this house seems like it was built as a novelty item, and is about 3/4 the size of a normal bathtub.

Accentopus 10-27-2004 10:23 AM

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh, and keep your mouth shut

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:23 AM

This just might make me try to get a job at the local hardware store so I can afford a bathtubs worth of birdseed. How much would it cost in USD, I'm not that aquanted with pounds yet.

ShelBel 10-27-2004 10:24 AM

Birds have really warm feet, BTW.... (I used to have a cockatiel)

coddingtown 10-27-2004 10:25 AM

Why is it that I need a password to access the old lessons?

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:26 AM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]This just might make me try to get a job at the local hardware store so I can afford a bathtubs worth of birdseed. How much would it cost in USD, I'm not that aquanted with pounds yet.[/QUOTE]

$1 = £0.55
£1 = $1.80

Accentopus 10-27-2004 10:26 AM

Mods are cleaning it up

Wintermute 10-27-2004 10:27 AM

[QUOTE=coddingtown]Why is it that I need a password to access the old lessons?[/QUOTE]

Not sure... there have been some security issues, but they should only apply to the New Lessons and Articles... I shall investigate.

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:27 AM

I'm pretty sure they're changing stuff in there...

coddingtown 10-27-2004 10:28 AM

Alright.

I suppose I oughta right that conversion down. Thanks wintermute

Accentopus 10-27-2004 10:28 AM

Buying a bird = £30
Buying a tub = £100
Having Birdseed bath = Priceless

PaulSimonon 10-27-2004 10:28 AM

[QUOTE=Wintermute]$1 = £0.55
£1 = $1.80[/QUOTE]
Thanks! I was close, I'd just halve the USD before, close but no cigar.
