The JoZ 08-20-2004 08:08 PM

I start work tomorrow, working as a warehouse flunkie in a furniture store. Oh yeah. I'm hoping it's as de-stressful as I think it will be :D

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:08 PM

I'm extremely excited. A guy on Talkbass is going to sell me his used Conklin GT-7 for 473 USD (that's with shipping); hoping parents won't be annoying and talk about how I already have two.

pikester 08-20-2004 08:10 PM

I've worked 41 hours in the past 4 days. 10 bucks an hour.... bliiiiiiing.

SR506 here I come.

It's really freakin' easy work too.

Crapdragoon 08-20-2004 08:10 PM

lol foxxie your gonna seriously go for it?!, man you = :thumb:

RJDBass 08-20-2004 08:10 PM

lr: as along as it wasnt a) your boss or b) got you fired (which would probably happen if it was your boss) time will heal everything, except of course these crazy eyes. i was just watching mr deeds with my nephew. stupidest movie ever but my nephew plays bass and is darn good at it so jamming with him is always fun, in fact it makes up for all the stupid movies i watch with that kid

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:13 PM

[QUOTE=iplaybass9340]2 basses or conklins?[/QUOTE]

No, I'm purchasing a Conklin 7; I already have a Curbow 4 and a P-Copy. :p

Crapdragoon 08-20-2004 08:14 PM

BTW foxxx , can i have your curbow 4 OR your pcopy? ;););););)

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:18 PM

I may end up selling my P-Copy.

It's got quite a few blemishes on the finish so I doubt I'd get more than like 50 USD for it.

Radiobass81 08-20-2004 08:20 PM

^^ You could make it into an American Deluxe Precision copy...

Crapdragoon 08-20-2004 08:20 PM

is it short scale? cause if so..... :upset:

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:27 PM

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]^^ You could make it into an American Deluxe Precision copy...[/QUOTE]

Yeah that's an option; but it'll cost a bit. Routing for the dual coil J pickup plus the cost of one plus the cost of a new P.

I wouldn't go active though. I already have an active four string and will have an active 7 so I'd like a passive. Hell, I may even defret it.

No, it's not Dragoon.

Crapdragoon 08-20-2004 08:32 PM

Fox id buy the p from you, if you can tell me what its made of :)

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:32 PM

Looks to me like Alder. Could be Ash but I doubt it. I think it's Alder though; it's a REALLY bright bass.

Crapdragoon 08-20-2004 08:35 PM

*ponders* well if you do ever wanna sell it, you know who to talk to ;)

Foxfire 08-20-2004 08:36 PM

Okay. :)

BassVirtuoso 08-20-2004 08:36 PM

Marching band is a bass players worst nightmare. My back hurts from carrying the 200 watt yorkville around everywhere.

Radiobass81 08-20-2004 08:43 PM

Besides family problems and being a freshman, my week has been pretty good. I got a fretless :) (although everyone probably already knows..).

ScorpSath 08-20-2004 08:54 PM

My week has been a substance abuse week :D

Samadhi 08-20-2004 09:14 PM

pikester 08-20-2004 09:35 PM

[QUOTE=made in lies 206]what you do as a job?[/QUOTE]

I do several jobs where I work...
I teach: Bass, DB, Guitar, piano, general music, songwriting, recording, and theory.
I write/head/cooridinate their newsletter, including the graphics
I work retail, and all the fun things that go with it...
I maintain their DJ website and then our Home website.

I'm the person who basically can do every job there, minus teaching some instruments, and so I get called on when we are short handed anywher.e

You've got something... right there.. oh, no, you missed it... i dont know what it is... its brown... no not your lip, its on your nose.

casbah rocker 08-20-2004 10:05 PM

I just had a band practice and i hit our lead singer in the head with my headstock while i was flailing around. Other than that it was good, i made up some actualy good basslines for like the first time ever. We just got a gig for sept. 26 and apprently it's paying, which is good cause im lazy.

Olympic rowing is on at 2 am tonight. I trust I'm the only one here who's staying up for that. Yay for me.

Low_End_Communications 08-20-2004 10:08 PM

I play bass for marching band. We use a modded Fender Can Amp with a bass speaker. Still, a little heavy, but either way its kinda fun.

Soo, HaVIC is totally annhilating me in our challenge. Either way, I'm fine with it.

Work has been a bitch. Two jobs, and roughly 7 to 8 hours tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. Same happened Wednesday. Running outta time to bass.

There is this girl Ihave wanted to date since 8th grade, and she's a year younger than me. I'm gonna be a junior now... we're decent friends and everything, but I want her so badly. ****, work makes me tired and that makes me say dumb things on the interweb. Go to this website [url]http://www.darkling.i8.com[/url] and click the link "To Jake Posega". This is some girl I dated for about a month a while ago. She made this up last night after the posted convo. Stalker bitch.

popinfresh 08-20-2004 10:09 PM

we're up to seven allready? :eek:

You're going to hel[I]l[/I] well played though. And I was making a commpliment sorry. :rolleyes:

Low_End_Communications 08-20-2004 10:22 PM

School for me starts the 30th of August. That means, jazz abd pep band baby! All the bass for me. I'm gonna try out for this statewide Michigan Jazz Band. They get together the best players in high school in the UP of Michigan, we rehearse for a day, and concert that night. I've never done it before, but everyone that has in my school says I'd be a shoe in on bass.

dont make me kill you! :evil:

where and what year are you?
I'm still in highschool, and a catholic school at that so it might be a little different here. But if i ever fail at life i can become a monk or something without a problem! beat that!

Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove 08-20-2004 10:33 PM

I am a college boy.

:amaze: 08-20-2004 10:42 PM

I just made 60$ at work (5 hour shift, plus my wage of 2.65/hr), so I'm having a lovely night. I'll finally get to pay my mom back, and start saving for my new rig :thumb:
