Ok, I promise, this is the last MEW picture (since you guys are probably getting tired of her and she's really not my favorite).

So I finally got my Circle K strings after a shipping mix up and all sorts of delays and promptly broke my .015 while tuning. Fml.

Pastorius 07-17-2012 04:05 PM

who could tire of her?

she's a stone cold babe

Ouch. How did that happen and where did the string break? You should email Skip. He might be able to send you a replacement free of charge.

In the interim, D'Addario makes a string in that gauge and you can probably buy a single string from any music shop.

Other than the breakage (first I've heard of one breaking, TBH), how do you like the tone and feel of the other 5 strings?

BenJammin 07-18-2012 11:05 AM

I think that I should have taken a lighter gauge. It wasn't going to make it all the way to G#. Otherwise, quite happy with the other 5 strings. The .158 low A is thunderous an crystal clear.

So should us gang be facebook pals?

fatbandit 07-18-2012 03:20 PM

gaslight 07-19-2012 05:11 AM

One day this site might just pop out of existence.

Funny you should say that, just the other week my bookmark for MX stopped working because it was still going through musicians forums or something and it just expired.

So i had to change my bookmark like a sucker.

Its pretty sad really, ive got some fun memories from this place. Really stupid memories, but really fun

Az_Holl 07-19-2012 08:17 AM

Oh and heres that bass

And my main guitar, which ended up looking mostly like the bass, even though i didnt mean to

The bass doesnt get played much anymore, need to get some new, lighter strings for it some time

fatbandit 07-20-2012 08:34 AM

https://www.facebook.com/chris.berry.75286 well that's me if we're doing this.

FunkMetalBass 07-20-2012 10:11 AM

I forgot how tedious it was to shape a neck. I think I've already totalled about 6 hours of just carving and sanding, and it's nowhere near done yet. *le sigh*


Also, unsurprisingly, mine: http://www.facebook.com/funkmetalbass

Az_Holl 07-20-2012 10:36 AM

You guys should feel priveleged, ive only got 70 friends and ive never actually added anyone before. Facebook is a strange place to me.

here is my url, just because i want to join in : http://www.facebook.com/adam.holloway.545

FunkMetalBass 07-20-2012 11:11 AM

So why are we all sharing facebook links? I must have missed that part of the conversation.

BenJammin 07-20-2012 01:20 PM

So that we can make using this forum obsolete.

FunkMetalBass 07-20-2012 04:10 PM

[quote=BenJammin;18917203]So that we can make using this forum obsolete.[/quote]

You guys don't like that feeling of reminiscence every time you log in?

Also, I'm buying a die grinder today. For less than $10, I'm going to shave a whole lot of time off of carving this neck.

gaslight 07-21-2012 02:44 AM

I thought it was just dry humour, ie; this forum is already obsolete.

Az_Holl 07-21-2012 08:08 AM

yeah but its like our own private message board

thats pretty cool

gaslight 07-21-2012 10:38 AM

We are pretty cool.

Marshmallow chocolate biscuits that expired three years ago, yay or nay?

FunkMetalBass 07-21-2012 10:43 AM

Go for it. I would.

fatbandit 07-21-2012 06:07 PM

Gotta at least try one of them? Can't see it killing you, and if it tastes gash, just sack the rest off! :3

Az_Holl 07-23-2012 06:43 AM

Wooo monday night :)

fatbandit 07-24-2012 02:08 AM

What happens Monday night? :s

Az_Holl 07-25-2012 12:39 AM

The same thing that happens everynight, Pinky. We try to take over the world.

But mostly drink cask wine and refresh the casual hur hur

Either way, i cant imagine pwning anyone now, let alone years ago when i was the super suck.
