FunkMetalBass 06-21-2012 09:14 AM

I think she had a thing for Michael Cera or some sheisse. I think its his cousin Maeby.

One day last week I was delivering mail and there was a magazine for like 25% of the houses that had MEW's face massive on the front of it. It was a pretty good day.

On a related note, I really enjoyed Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter today :)

FunkMetalBass 06-25-2012 10:57 AM

I heard it was good. I'll have to check the movie out.

FunkMetalBass 06-25-2012 11:52 AM

What do you all think of my singlecut design?

Stapler 06-25-2012 01:03 PM

But how does it taste?

not too bad really...

BenJammin 06-25-2012 04:03 PM

That's pretty nice, Joe. I don't *love* the headstock, but I don't despise it either.

FunkMetalBass 06-25-2012 04:15 PM

I made it like that to reduce stress on the nut by having the strings pass straight over it. What about it don't you like? Does it feel too small and wide?

Also, it should taste like Walnut (probably darker than shown) and flame maple (I could only find a good burl sample for mocking up, though).

I'm glad it meets body-shape approval, though. It's hard to find a tasteful singlecut, IMO.

BenJammin 06-26-2012 11:25 AM

Yeah, too small and wide is basicially it.

FunkMetalBass 06-26-2012 02:15 PM

I worked with the headstock a bit more and I feel like this new shape suits it much better.

The rasta colors are just me tinkering around, although this is similar to how I would build it if I decide to do it because I would build it out of a bunch of dyed fence pickets.

Yeah I instantly much prefer that headstock, the way the curve echoes the lower horn is really pleasing.

Single cut basses look strange to me but that's not anything to be bothered about.

FunkMetalBass 06-28-2012 04:12 PM

Hey Chris, check it out. You and your dream girl apparently have the same affinity for mailboxes:

gaslight 06-29-2012 01:16 PM

Are you um, ahh. Memory issues.

Quatre?

karmapavementplan 06-29-2012 03:59 PM

Well that was odd... was watching the new alan partridge series and there was an odd segment where Alan went to the hospital I work in, drove around the roundabout several times and then ran into the reception and then emerged with a handful of choc-ices.

FunkMetalBass 07-06-2012 11:18 AM

Turns out I was a bit sloppy with that bass I mocked up. The bridge string spacing was supposed to be somewhere around 16.5/17mm, but instead ended up just shy of 20mm. I now have to decide whether to leave it as is and try to correct the mistake on my trace before I fully cut the neck, or if I should painstakingly make all of the autocad adjustments.

What do you guys think?

In playing around with AutoCad, I don't think it's going to make a difference. Spread over the neck, it's mere millimeters, so I'm just going to ignore it and shape it exactly as I already have it.

FunkMetalBass 07-10-2012 08:58 AM

Guys, what beer should I brew next? I need to order ingredients asap.

FunkMetalBass 07-10-2012 09:17 AM

I know I didn't give you guys too much time to respond, but I think I found the beer (kit) I want to brew

[b]AHS Aramis Saison[/b]:

[I]A beer truly brewed out of necessity, the saison (French for season) was originally created as a refreshing beverage for farm workers. Saisons would keep the farmers refreshed and hydrated when potable water was scarce. Aramis hops give this saison a well rounded hop character with aromatic notes of citrus, herb, and fruit. Aramis Saison is the perfect companion beer for a day of yard work or gardening.[/I]

It sounds delicious and like a perfect brew for August end-of-summer drinking.

Az_Holl 07-15-2012 04:56 AM

ive been drinking cask wine mixed with ginger beer for 6 months so anything would be nice really

beer is nice, make some berr... that was a typo, but it sounds funny so i left it
