I have basses with four strings. Hurrrrrr.

I need to upgrade the bridge and get new pots for my Jazz, main bass. Maybe get the fretboard refinished.

Really need a bigger amp more than anything. But I also want an acoustic bass.

Oh I want a cheapish decent acoustic guitar too. That'll do me, I have too much other **** to blow all my money on music gear sadly.

[quote=Spaceman Spiff;17249357]I need a distortion/OD that I like more than my Big Muff. My problem is that it's too fuzzy. I'm thinking about a Pro Co Rat. Any other ideas?

I still need to get out and try out a Tele, because I'm very curious about those guitars. Everyone says it's best to change the pickups on the MIM Teles, can you confirm or deny if this is really worth it? People usually say they can be quite noisy and such.

And I want to pick up a decent acoustic for cheap. The acoustic I have is kind of trash.[/quote]

I'd probably change the pickups on any fender, personally, but I don't care for that twangy sound all of the single-coil pickups produce. I'd recommend replacing them with humbuckers, which seems to be a fairly common mod with teles.

Acoustic!

Anybody ever tried that black ice onboard overdrive mod? Sounded kind of interesting.

PS, sup d00d?

I'm outta cigarettes, I think I'm in the begining stages of bronchitis or some other respiratory infection, and I was supposed to take my car into the shop a few hours ago, but I was sleeping and now can't get ahold of my dad who is responsible for the logistical aspect of the whole deal.


But other than that, life is pretty much going as awesomely as it could be.





Yousir?

anybody got their hands on the new mewithoutyou album? my torrent isnt working lame.

Spiff, if you want good guitar distortion, get a good valve amp instead of pissing about with pedals. You'll thank me in the long run :p And yeah, I don't like the Tele tone - get some meatier pickups in there that aren't as weedy and thin sounding as those single coils.

My bass agenda has far too much on it, so I'm not even going to try to write it down. Shouldn't be too long before its done for now though :)

Also my Zune broke. Need a new mp3 player. 80GB or more. Not ridiculously expensive. Not sh[size=2]i[/size]t. Options?

Older model Ipod Video. They work fine, and ought to be pretty cheap.


eBay it up.

Get something by Creative.

Creative unfortunately don't make any remotely large MP3 players anymore.

Used to have a Creative Zen and didn't like it. Have they got better?

My mom has a newer one that kicks the old Zen's ***. Faster response, better looking, less finicky.

I have a few years old Creative Zen Vision:M 60GB. Sounds amazing.

Before that I had tried to get one of the original Creative Zen's but it was just as they were phasing them out, and the one I bought was defective so I returned it and got the new Vision:M when it came out.

I will cry like a little girl if it ever breaks because there is no suitable replacement for it.

[QUOTE=gaslight;17249417]Creative unfortunately don't make any remotely large MP3 players anymore.[/QUOTE]

Oh really? I bought mine 5 or 6 years ago, I think, so I couldn't remember.

Always thought it was decent, though I like my iPod a lot more.

apple really did the mp3 player right. as much as i hate macs and mac users, the ipod just cannot be beaten.

i love the arguments for macs, too

hey friend, what makes a mac better?

why are macs better than pcs ben

I'll never buy an iPod. I despise them.

[QUOTE=Raayl;17249459]why are macs better than pcs ben[/QUOTE]

They're not. :) I use a PC regularly, as well. When I bought my MacBook, it was the smallest laptop with the longest battery life that I could find, and I had been using my friend's for a bit, and figured I'd give it a go.

I really don't think it's any better than a PC, but I do enjoy using it a lot.

so you just dont like your extra thousand dollars you'd just rather throw it away, burn it, etc?

[QUOTE=Raayl;17249467]so you just dont like your extra thousand dollars you'd just rather throw it away, burn it, etc?[/QUOTE]

I bought my laptop, like, 3 years ago. I paid the money because it's what I wanted.

so let me get this straight

you dont think macs are any better, in any way, than pcs

yet you willingly spend the extra thousand dollars to buy a mac

which you just said isnt any better than the pc you could have gotten for half the price

LOL

can you say tool douche bag piece of s[SIZE="2"]h[/SIZE]it? cause i sure can

[SIZE="7"]
ILL BUY ANYTHING IF ITS SHINY AND MADE BY APPLE[/SIZE]

Haha. Oh man I loved that Onion video.

It wasn't $1000 more than anything else I would have considered. In any case, as I said, 3 years ago, it was the smallest laptop with the best battery life. There weren't a whole lot of 13" laptops with 6 hour battery life out at the time. I wanted to try something different. So I bought a Mac.

NO BEN THAT'S NOT TRUE YOU'RE REALLY A TOOL DOUCHEBAG POS THAT ONLY BOUGHT IT BECUZ ITS SHINY

sade even said so!

For the most part, I agree with that first statement. The plastic is cheap and the batteries are known to crap out early, but yes.

The f**king iTunes software is terrible though. I cannot think of a music player/catalog that I hate more.

If Microsoft would make a few changes to the Zune, I'd say that it blows the iPod out of the water. Firstly, getting rid of the Zune software and allow it to just be seen as a USB drive, reading id3 tags from the .mp3 files.. Second, EQ controls on the Zune itself. The thing is made of metal with a thick glass screen, so it's damn sturdy.

Nothing wrong with itunes it's quite organized and keeps my music folder organized for me too

To each his own. I prefer to have all my music neatly categorized in folders on my terabyte harddrive, no need for a program to do it for me.

Not only that, my ex swore by iTunes, so it's already poopty before I even throw out rational reasons to despise it.

I don't care for the layout, and I'm honestly very basic with my music. I like to set up my folders my way and I like Windows Media Player for a music player. I guess I'm just old-fashioned.

Ugh windoze media gayer more like

I tried this once, but USPS said that assholes were on the list of items they cannot ship. UPS and FedEx said the same, although FedEx does allow the shipping of pork butts, which is almost the same thing, I'm guessing.

I've just gotten ahold of Nuclear Rabbit's [I]Mutopia[/I] album.

I won't be YSI-ing it later so that you guys can't download it also and not enjoy the bass in it.

Then again, nobody on the boards likes bass anymore, so nobody will care.

And here it isn't.

Yeah, that's an alright album. I love What Would He-Man Do. I wish it wasn't recorded/mixed so badly. And that their singer didn't suck.
