Yes. And it would cure you of those pesky teeth.

I haven't read the fraud thread, saving that one for home. Is it as good as the dingwall-is-actually-******-fender-hack-job-by-teenaged-moron thread? Because that was awesome.

I bought a 07 Dodge Caliber last may. It's pretty big, hatch back, fold-down seats, fits all my gear plus then some. A little underpowered but as long as you're not drag racing who cares. It's got a CVS transmission which helps with mileage I get close to 30 in the city, and that car ain't small.

Not quite as good. Doesn't have the same "Yeah, that kid is in our band and he's never done anything wrong. No, he didn't try to sell you a Dingwall and send you a shvtty Ibanez instead..."

I swear it was an Ibanez.

Both of those topics have the same common theme. Private legal conflict, played out via internet proxy. Nobody commenting is ever going to know what happened in either case, but everyone will interject their own bias, opinion and personal crusades into it and their arguments between each other will overshadow the issue itself. Hopefully both those matters get resolved appropriately. In either case, if someone gets victimized by someone else they should go to the proper authority and report it immediately, without any fear of judgement or the expectation that they're not going to be taken seriously, not by getting the court of public opinion involved via the internet as a first course of action. If they don't end up being helped or taken seriously when going through official channels...THEN bring it online and show how you tried to get justice and how you were denied, then John and Jane Q Internet can light the torches and break out the pitchforks for you. There's a fine line between protest for social justice and uninformed lynch mob on the internet, sometimes. Seems like it's usually the difference between channeled outrage and displaced aggression.

on the fraud thread:
I've been texting that Charles guy all day. as soon as the craigslist link was posted I texted the number and asked if it was Charles. He was dodgy. I asked if he was bass grease. more dodge.. ( in fact, he said he didn't know anything about fishing.... big ol eye Rollin on that one) so I sent him a link to the thread and said "if this is you, better fix it quick".. less than 2 minutes later he logs into the thread...
he's been texting me all day for a way out of the bind...
I just tell him to be honest and do whatevers necessary to correct it and do it quick.
but yeah Corey.. i'm staying out of the thread.
I did take screen shots of the craigslist ad with his number, our texts, and his immediate log in time.. if he's a scam I can't stand that.. If he's a noob that screwed up, good luck with a hard lesson.

[Moloch666]

The thing that gets me is this Greaser accused the other guy of being a scam nearly straight away. Nothing quite like covering your own arse by claiming the other guy was dodgy and you're alright.

Receive money, ship bass. Doesn't seem that hard to me...

Daang. You sure are articulate for one of them Stoner/Doom types....

Well said, BTW

Anybody remember the staticX scandal a few years back. Weirdest thing i've ever read, honestly didn't follow up since but these things do happen.
Hate to see anyone accused of rape.

Hell yeah. Wagon Power!!
I have a Euro R intake ready to go on whenever my buddy wants to help with that. It's huge and right up against the firewall. That'll suck. At some point I need to get a P28 ECU and have it chipped. I wouldn't mind having my VTEC. Then Exhaust, not that fart can horsesh!t. And... oh yeah a 5 speed would be nice. haha. Tint, sound system, and eventually paint. Maybe rims or something. I like rockin the hubbies, it's a sleeper
I just dropped it an inch a few weeks ago. It has a nice stance and handles a bit better. Still on stock springs though.


Any of you guitar players play Jazzmasters?
I've been lookin at the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster, sounds good in youtube demos.

[swspiers]

I have a 2008 Prius. Enough room for all my cabs, basses and amps with a passenger or two.

But really, really sucks in the snow

Very well said Sir!

To me it totally comes across as Bass Grease took the dudes money,then just never shipped it. On purpose. He admitted that he didn`t have the $900 to send back! So he spent it and now is selling the same bass a second time to refund the first buyer his money. Super shady.

Was Wayne Static accused of violating someone with his hairdo?

[Darkonar]

I'll never understand how we managed to fit 2 drumkits, a half stack, several practice amps, all of out instruments AND the whole band (6 people) in my dad's Nissan X-trail, a couple years ago.

i'm glad my unity is almost at dead on 12'oclock or i'd be annoyed. i'd recommend contacting the VFE fellow - he's pretty friendly and would probably build you one.

i was considering getting mine rehoused, but i put it in a bypass loop instead (switches were waaaay too close to the stomp button)

Rad. I was looking at a 2 door 96 ex with an h22 swap before I got the wagon. Wife said not practical. Lol. Also before I got heavier into doom. Once I realized I wanted a few cabs, I was all about the wagon. I like the the magnaflow catback for a non fart can exhaust system.

It was one of their guitarists trip Rex eisen. Apparently he told a minor he was a "trip Rex eisen fan/impersonator" so he could sleep with her.
I know allot of guys claim to be rockstars to get laid, but that was the first time I heard of a rockstar pretending to not be a rock star in order to get laid.
They caught him with her so he got popped for kidnapping too.
The very day it was in the news static x fired him. Its a bad sign if your band thinks you did it.

Edited to unfvck autocorrect fvckups.

[Corey Y]

Glad you guys appreciate my opinionations, I got a bunch of them.


dozicusmaximus...I used to have one of the purple J Mascis Jazzmasters, when they first came out. I don't know it's changed since then, but it never really sounded like a Jazzmaster to me. I found out later that supposedly they just had Strat pickups in the Jazzmaster covers. I can't confirm that, it's just what I read in forums after I sold it. Which made sense, that's what it sounded like. I loaned it to a friend of mine who was in a folk punk type band for recording and he ended up using it for almost the whole album. So it did sound good for some things, but not for the tones I wanted from it. I think the newer Squier ones are a whole different beast though. I'd play one before you buy, if you can.
