What's up MX?

FUNKNBASS 10-29-2004 03:02 PM

I would kill someone, correction a few people for his original "distressed" jazz bass. Sux what he did with it. When he was in New York a few weeks before his death he simply left it in the middle of central park and walked away. Some homeless person out there probly has one of Jaco's basses in his shopping cart.

FUNKNBASS 10-29-2004 03:02 PM

Later DFIA.

Hey Tryxx.

Tryxx 10-29-2004 03:05 PM

Hmm...playing Jaco's actual bass would be somewhat depressing for me. I mean...you KNOW the sound that can be brought out of it, and what kind of tool it's been used as... It seems like it would have it's only proper place in Jaco's hands.

FUNKNBASS 10-29-2004 03:06 PM

I wouldnt play it as much as put it in a case above my bed and look at it everynight before I go to sleep.

Tryxx 10-29-2004 03:07 PM

I'd be perfectly content with that.

FUNKNBASS 10-29-2004 03:08 PM

Good Bye Everyone I'll be back in a few days.

PaulSimonon 10-29-2004 03:09 PM

Later Funk.

Tryxx 10-29-2004 03:09 PM

Wow...a few days seems like a long time for MX.

PaulSimonon 10-29-2004 03:24 PM

DaveSavesTheDay 10-29-2004 03:29 PM

aw man , its the most comfortable bass ive ever played. its great , i was going to use it for school but the first ay i brought it , some faggot hit it with this trombone ( dont ask ) and it got a dent in it.

Tryxx 10-29-2004 03:37 PM

That sucks. My old teacher had one, I LOVED it, it really is comfortable; that's not lie.

Online journal thing. Like livejournal, deadjournal, myspace etc... I think a few MX bassists have some. I know JoZ does.

Nope, but the drummer in my band just started at Guitar Center, so now I get gear AT COST. As I've learned from him, most items there are about 56-60% less than the sale price (NOT the list price) so I can hopefully score some obscenely cheap gear. :naughty:

so for example a 1000$ bass would cost you around 500?

Omega Red 10-29-2004 04:18 PM

[QUOTE=Basskiid]so for example a 1000$ bass would cost you around 500?[/QUOTE]

Will you be my friend?

[QUOTE=Basskiid]so for example a 1000$ bass would cost you around 500?[/QUOTE]

Precisely. But there are a few items (Mesa Boogie) that don't get as much markup, and there are a few (PRS) that get even more. Like a $4,000 Dragon PRS (or whatever they're called) would be like $1,000.
