Except GWAR discloses the fact that they're just portraying characters. GWAR is legit... No idea what 'those guys' are thinking.

Paranoid much? Personally, I really dislike when someone doesn't at least fill in THAT part of their profile. Besides ... just tell him you're a heavy noodler' or a fat chick incognito

Just 5 seconds into the video and I was sold. I audition tomorrow!

[Mykk]

Wow. Just watched the video.

Reminds me of another singer I know here in Hollyweird, she feels she must take her clothes off to get noticed too

[dtripoli]

Craigslist LA

Are you talking about the band Atomik Fairy with the exmodel that is also looking for a bass player?

[Mykk]

haha, I am thinking of yet a different fem singer. I'd post a link to the vid, but although So-Cal is huge it's also a small circle.

Not sure about this.... $400 for a bass that has been strung with 2 guitar strings? Also I'm not sure about the EAGD tuning being a good thing for what we're going for here. Regardless, $400 seems insane.

Hybrid Bass / Guitar - $400

Hi there. I'm selling my beloved guitar / bass hybrid. It has two bass and two guitar strings. Each pair of strings have their own pick up, volume and tone control. The third pick up is dormant. There's two inputs to plug into a bass and guitar amp.

It's so cool. You can have clean bass with distorted guitar. It truly sounds like two different instruments. It's tuned EADG. The action and intonation are perfect. I really just lucked out when I built it. Please give this instrument a good home and create amazing music with it. I'll try to post a video to show how it sounds. Reminds me of Tool when I play it.

You can also find this on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/271152790012...84.m1555.l2649

Wow, somebody spent a lot of time rewiring and modding that bass and for what? It's about as useful as a double neck Guitar
except you only have 2 strings on each. yeah, you can work around 2 bass strings but what the heck can you do with just 2 guitar strings? As an angry feminist once said, "I need that like a fish needs a bicycle"

Insane just about covers it! I'm waiting for the video LOL

[My name is Mudd]

I'm guessing that he's tried for something like what Brian Gibson (Lightning Bolt) does; Gibson uses a banjo string for an A on his 4-string basses and for both A and E strings on 5-string basses.

I saw this one this morning and about spit coffee all over the laptop.

Acoustic jam and 420 tonight (Bristol)


Looking for someone with some green to come over and jam tonight. It's been a long day and music and buds would be the best way to get it out of my system. I am a damn riff factory over here.

Look, I know you're bored. I'm just a normal dude in my thirties, just moved here and don't know anyone. I can obviously spell and have good grammar, you don't have anything to lose. Not looking to "hook up" or anything weird. Just music and some good smoke.

"I AM A DAMN RIFF FACTORY OVER HERE" might be the single greatest quote ever.

And there you go. It's a well known fact that no psycho/weirdo/serial killer has ever been able to spell or use good grammar.

[nashvillebill]

Or the local law enforcement folks, this would be almost too easy...

[jlane72t]

What would "law enforcement folks" give him trouble about, accepting a hit from the joint that the undercover cop brought with him into this guy's living room? Unless TN cops are so hard-up for action that they're planting drugs in currently-clean people's houses I don't see what the charge could be.

[nashvillebill]

errr...suppose the CL poster was actually law enforcement?

[My name is Mudd]

Entrapment.

[nashvillebill]

Nope, not entrapment. Undercover drug buys are perfectly legal, and LE has busted hookers on CL.

[jlane72t]

fair enough, hadn't thought of that angle
seems like it would be a rather unbalanced amount of work to set up a fake jam situation just to bust a guy for bringing a joint over tho

I mean heck, 90% of craigslist-born jams I've gone to, somebody busted out weed at some point
might as well just show up to any old random jam session if all you want to do is arrest some regular joe for minor-league possession

I think LE's got better things to do

[nashvillebill]

Maybe i'm just being paranoid though...wait, why are there black helicopters hovering over my house?
