Bahahahhaa.

Ah the good ole days. Back when MX was thriving with life. And reputation whoring.

Man, is it possible to get a little more activity on the boards? I like a nice quiet board, but this sometimes gets silly.

Sorry watching house so going awol for a bit.

Nah, man. This board is past it's heyday.

It's true. Back in my day (lawl) the casuals would fill up ridiculously fast, and everyone knew eachother on a first name basis.

Isn't that right, Ben?

Yeah, it is, for sure. I remember refreshing the page and another one would have already filled up. But I guess that's the nature of these things. Without the forums being connected to MX Tabs, we lost basically all of the flow of new posters. The review site still tends to get a few new people in here, but not as many, and most don't stay.

Reminds me of the dead flag blues. God speed you black emperor should reform and totally sample this thread.

Also, no points for getting his name. It's just plain obvious.

Goddamn they're good.

have you listened to any "a silver mt. zion"? It's basically godspeed but with a little more cohesive thread through the tracks and kinda conner oberst style vocals sometimes. Just as good as godspeed though

I don't think Efrim sounds anything like Connor, but yeah, I've listened to a couple of their albums. Some of it is better than others. I really like the moody "we're all f[size=2]ucked[/size]" sound of Godspeed more.

Do you not think godbless our dead marines makes him sound a lot like conner at least for that track?

It's been like 2 hours since someone posted on this forum, and that was me. We need like a recruitment drive. Lets organise an infomecial.

edit - just realised that this is posting one GMT wintertime. So it's only 1 hour since last post.

[quote=Mr. Jiggy Fly;17345260]Hello friends!

So, I come to MX with a quick question:

I am considering trading my Modulus Flea 5 (my only fretted bass) for a 1967 Guild Starfire hollowbody. What do you guys think?[/quote]

Not a fan of the hollowbody type basses, but for a 1967 bass in good condition with a decent tone, it sounds like a solid investment, especially if you can afford a cheapy $300 5-string to replace the Modulus (if you're in a situation that requires you have a bass, ie. band).

That was my thought! The Mod won't increase in value as far as I know, the Starfires get more expensive every year. And it just got refretted, so it's in fine playing shape.

In other news, I just scored an Ampeg BR2 and Ampeg Classic 410 cab for $350. Niiiice.

I wish I was in the market for an amp rig...still havent needed to upgrade:(

eyyyyyy.



I never sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death.

I just busted my nut:mad:


...no, seriously, it cracked at the G-string and a piece about half a centimeter long came off...now I have no G string and I play on Sunday:angry: off to the guitar shop tomorrow

(Nas is the ****)[/QUOTE]

[I][FONT="Palatino Linotype"][SIZE="5"]Andrew,

I cordially ask that upon receipt of this post you immediately retract your statement for the following reasons:

[B]- Nas is gay[/B]

Please have this completed no later than July 8th, 2009 at 9pm PST.

I thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Sincererly yours,

Dave[/SIZE][/FONT][/I]

[I][FONT=Palatino Linotype][SIZE=5]Dave,

As Andrew's legal counsel, I'm afraid it is not in his best interest to retract his former statement. It is a well-known fact that Nas is not gay, but Kanye West is. Proof:

[B]- Kanye likes fishsticks.[/B]

Public accusations as such can lead to tedious periods of litigation and law suits for slander and libel.

Thank you for voicing your concerns, however, Mr. Andrew and I must formally decline your request.

Regards,

Joe[/SIZE][/FONT][/I]

File some dust off of the edges, collect it, get some superglue, combine, then rebuild and repair from there. I have a bass that had that done to it, still holding strong 5ish years later.


Refer any other questions to my lawyer.

Bought a new digital camera. woo

BAHAHAHAHAHA.

surprisingly fun jam - the ocean.

Damned bad sectors in my harddrive. I think I'm going to put Linux on my new one.

[quote=Efrim;17347135]Damned bad sectors in my harddrive. I think I'm going to put Linux on my new one.[/quote]

That's what I did. I'm running Debian/Gnome.

I think I'm going to do Zenwalk.

On another note:
A python just slithered into my kitchen. I put him in a glass cupboard. Today is a strange day.

There are pythons in Alberta?

/crosses AB off of lists of places to visit

Well....no, there aren't.
ever.
That's what makes it hard to wrap my head around.

You should sell it on the black market.

I'm more concerned with its existence right now.
I'm hoping one of my room mates will come home to confirm that I'm not crazy.

Maybe I should set it loose on the neighbourhood cats.

[quote=Efrim;17347239]Maybe I should set it loose on the neighbourhood cats.[/quote]

This.

Or practice voodoo with it. I'm sure there is something funky I can do with a snake.

So, we're going to have an all-acoustic practice today and then a serious band meeting about attendance issues and other things of that nature.

My old band once had a serious meeting about attendance issues and other things like that.

We ended up skateboarding and playing duck hunt. And by "we" I mean me and the drummer cuz the rest of the band never showed up.

:lol:

Ours will be a little bit more serious than that. And if somebody misses practice/meeting today, said member is out of the band. No exceptions.

Another H&S song coming up. Jeremy laid vocals down on one of my tracks.

sup casual

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17347514]Another H&S song coming up. Jeremy laid vocals down on one of my tracks.[/QUOTE]

Way better than Song For Strangers. I don't really dig the autotune/vocoder that's used on all the vocals you guys do, though. I thought that middle section seemed to drag on a bit long, but that was just a first impression.
