[QUOTE=Peacelog;18996146]I replaced my bass player, nowadays i just turn the bass eq to 11 on my amp.[/QUOTE]

What a coincidence! I replaced my guitarist recently by turning my treble up to 11 and scooping the mids.

EDIT: And also running my piezo pickup (separate output) into a HPF set to 350Hz and sending that signal to a Dual Rec.

[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass;18964247]Seems to be doing well. He sends me links to new tunes, but conversation never really progresses after that. His facebook url is /Liam7 if you want to hit him up there.[/QUOTE]

Aight, I'll hit him up sometime, see how he's doing.

I always forget there's not bass forum anymore every time I swing by here, makes me feel old.

How has everyone else been?

I don't even play music anymore, just screw around with cars.

Been well. I took upright bass classes for a month or so, but due to constraints with my schedule, I had to stop. Now I just fiddle around and do some electronic music for some random elective music class I'm taking.

Lately my life has been focused around surviving my last semester as an undergraduate. Beginning this fall, I will be in the Mathematics Ph.D. program and teaching 20 hours per week.

I wish I knew more about cars. I know how to do all of the basic stuff (oil changes, filters, brake pads + rotors, tire rotation), but that's about where it stops. My odometer just rolled over 75k miles, though, so I'm sure I'll be able to pick up more along the way.

I've been working a lot, and playing a lot, as well. Not so much on the bass front, but I've been playing the shit out of my tenor guitar. I'm starting to build up a pedal board now.

Just got an EHX POG2 last week. Fucking sick. Also running an EHX Cathedral reverb (which I've had for a few years and will go to the grave with), and an EHX #1 Echo which I will probably replace at some point. It's okay, but I really, really want tap tempo on my delay. Also have a sweet Pigtronix Polysaturator distortion.

Sounds like you're still pretty busy with music, which is cool. How's your band doing and everything?

Godspeed with the maths.

Also, it's one of the reasons I bought a beater car, at least a beater car that I wanted and would want to drive, so that I could fuck with it, not feel bad if shit breaks, parts are plentiful, and if something goes wrong, there's a club out here in HI that I hang out with that have people far more knowledgeable with said car than I who could help me trouble shoot.

I haven't been playing in a band since I moved out to Vancouver, although both of my roommates are musicians, and we play pretty much every day, but it's all jamming. Been just going at it solo for the most, which is what I'm used to it, anyway.

I can't remember what you're doing in Hawaii... is it military (navy?)?

Oh, no doubt. Have you made any new music recently?

And yeah, I'm stationed out there with the Navy. I hate Hawaii so much. I'm currently touring the southeast, though, have been since last Friday, and it's been a fucking blast. I love this place, and the music scene out here still seems strong, especially compared to Portland, OR. I'm actually seeing Crystal Castles on Wednesday in Atlanta, possibly seeing After the Burial/Within the Ruins on Tuesday in Columbia.

Hatebreed/Terror are also playing in Spartanburg Tuesday, but even though it would be a fun show to go to, I don't care about any of the bands that are playing.

wow

i like to check up on here every now and then

i can't believe the bass forum is gone...

Yeah, my last recorded bit of material is from an electronic-based EP I put out early this year, under the Stars in the Ocean moniker. You can check it out here: [url]http://starsintheocean.bandcamp.com/[/url]

How much longer until you can get re-stationed?

Just came back about a week ago from a tour of the SE, shit was fun as hell, and I loved it out there.

I'll be sure to listen to that EP ASAP and let you know what I think because I know you care so much. :D

I have less than 3 years left, and there will be no being restationed. I'm out once my contract is up.

Hello folks.

Miss me?

Probably not.

I'm in your neck of the woods now.

I hope you all accept my apology, presented in the form of a sexy picture of MEW.
