Yeah man, I was heaps into effects when I was in high school. I still have them all lying around but I barely even get them out of their boxes these days. I love delay, I want to get an Akai Headrush II.

FunkMetalBass 04-30-2009 12:02 PM

Sounds like a great pedal. I may just abandon the idea of a Boss DD-7 and RC-2 because I can get that Akai for cheaper than the other two combined. I'm not fancy with my effects, so that's perfect. Time to read some reviews.


Somebody get me some GASx...

I just spent, like, a million hours making ...eight... patch cables.

Sablate McNuff 04-30-2009 09:24 PM

Guitar Center + $30 = 8 small patch cables with lifetime warranties.

Mr. Pickle 04-30-2009 09:45 PM

Guitar Center = Gay

None of these patch cables are the same size. They vary from about 3 inches to 4 feet.

Sablate McNuff 04-30-2009 10:43 PM

Oh, wow. I presumed you were making the little 6" cables.

Mr. Pickle 04-30-2009 10:45 PM

I bite my thumb at you, good sir.

Sablate McNuff 04-30-2009 10:55 PM

[SIZE=2]Do you quarrel, sir? [/SIZE]

Mr. Pickle 04-30-2009 11:22 PM

No, but squirrel is delicious.

Sablate McNuff 04-30-2009 11:29 PM

Roast squirrel. Yum. I like to use a nice mesquite rub.

Mr. Pickle 04-30-2009 11:37 PM

Sweet Baby Ray's.

Just sayin'

Lol I know, in the last 6 or so months it's probably taken up 3 months of my life. Think if I was able to apply that time to an instrument. Goddamnit I'd be shredding on guitar by now.

And yeah d3 is gonna own big time.

I said the same thing about smoking the ganja. All that time and money...


But it wasn't a total waste, I came up with some damn cool stuff when I smoked. If it were decriminalized, I'd probably start smoking again every weekend just to write my music.

So, has anybody tried Kratom? I'm going to pick some up tonight and try it.

It's quite nice but you have to take a fair bit of it. It is similar to codeine in some ways but with more energy. You getting an extract or just plain stuff? If you are getting plain stuff you'll wanna take about five or six grammes at least.

I seem to have a naturally high tolerance to the stuff though which sucks, even if I took like 1g of 12x extract I still didn't get too much. It is a relatively subtle thing though. Great to mix with weed.

Moon Flavor 05-01-2009 01:16 PM

**** kratom get some blue lotus mix it in with some wine. Now THAT'S relaxation.


Or just get some oxy

I've heard you get much more from it if you make a tea out of it.

The package I bought is 15 grams, but it doesn't give an extract number, leading me to believe it's not in any concentrated form, just crushed into a fine powder.

I naturally have a high tolerance too, so it's kewl...you aren't alone.

I'm going to try making a tea from 1 gram of it and I'm also going to make hash from a gram of it and test them out tomorrow and Sunday night, just to see what happens.

Where did you get yours from? I don't wanna be ripped off, but I'd like some 12-15x (if this isn't already).

I'll be trying that also, but I'll probably put it into some green tea or my usual AGWA De Bolivia & Coke.

I wanna try some of those cheap $5 smoking blends also on sites like [url]http://www.ideala.co.uk[/url]. I figure, at the very least, they might taste good.

Spaceman Spiff 05-01-2009 03:39 PM

Playing another show tonight. Should be a good one.

fatbandit 05-01-2009 04:02 PM

So I realised that I'm spending like £30 a week on food, on top of what I eat at home.

This answers two questions I have been asking myself recently.

Why am I poor? and Why am I getting fat?

I got some from herbalhighs.com, the 15x extract which I smoked and got a nice effect from, kind of alert stonedness. I got some 12x Thai kratom from here:

http://www.kratom.org.uk/

Making a tea is a good option, it just doesn't taste too great but not too bad.

If you only make 1g into a tea you will get pretty much nothing from it, it will be a waste of a gramme. It will be normal non-extract kratom if they don't specify it is an extract, when they make extracts the makers and seller always want to point it out.

As far as I can remember 4g is an okay starting point, anything less than that won't give much of an effect.

Good to know, sir. I'm hoping the "alert stonedness" is good. I find I can't focus on my math or school work after I smoke, which is why I've quit, but I've always been curious about Kratom.

How much of the 15x did you smoke?

I'll probably put 5g in a tea since I can easily divide the portions into three parts. I've heard that it's good to mix it with black or green tea to help mask the flavor.

Whatcha been up to, Steve?
