Ever have one of those days?/I feel like an idiot...

CanadaMan · #1 01-30-2008, 01:48 PM

Yup, it really was one of those days. I'm sitting here, trying to find a good RHCP Wal esque tone that I really like, when I think to myself, "Wow, this preamp has a lot of tone choices."

And then I turned the preamp on.

Ever have one of those days where you make yourself feel like an idiot?

Every day, absolutely every ****ing day.

Do you ever have one of those days where everyone around you seems like an idiot. If not, come to California. The road trip alone will convince you.

I've been, and for the most part I have to agree with you. And if they're not stupid beyond all belief, they're the strangest people you'll ever meet. And I consider myself very, very strange. But when a homeless hispanic vampire snake lady asks to buy a smoke from you(I don't smoke) something is seriously deranged.

Ever spend 25 minutes messin' with your amp because no sound is comin' out only to find that the cable isn't plugged all the way in in the bass?

I have.

I was talking to a friend on the cell after a rehersal and I'm walking around talking to him about **** , and then I'm suddenly checking my pockets and I'm like..."Dude...............Where the F' is my cell !?!? *** !?!?"

My co-bandmates were like --->> {OO"} {Oo"} {"--}

...Reminds me of the joke where the band has to call a locksmith to get the drummer out of the van...

I have.

I can 1 up that. Ever completely disassemble a bass, just out of boredom, put it back together and freak out because it doesn't work and you've obviously broken something? I have. Then I plugged it in

Scionreality · #11 02-05-2008, 12:30 PM

I replaced the pots in a bass, put the thing back together, tossed the old pots, then put "the rest of the parts" in a plastic baggy to keep track of them. The weird feeling dissappeared when I realised it was because the new pots came with the washers and nuts. Cool.

Then I plugged in and played to see how it sounded.

"Wow," I thought, "the last one sounded brighter, but... but this is like UGLY bright. What the ---- is going on here?"

Even after looking at the little bag of "other parts" long enough to realise why most of them were there, I apparently never wondered at all where that big red capacitor came from.

*sigh*

Why was it necessary to point out that she was hispanic?

makaky · #13 02-05-2008, 12:52 PM

Like plugging your speaker cable into the aux send and wonder why you have so little output

Incognitus · #14 02-05-2008, 01:21 PM

Or freakin out because you have no sound coming out of your amp and you've replaced the batteries, checked the cables, turned the head on and off, tried everything. Just to find that the mute button is depressed. Yup....then the eventual "No one saw that, right?" look.

I imagine Cali is like here in Florida. The bad news every one drives like an idiot. the good news no one is from here so soone ror later they'll leave. The more bad news another moron will take their place.

Why is it a problem that he did?

Because he probably (almost definitely) wouldn't have said

"homeless white vampire snake lady asks to buy a smoke from you(I don't smoke) something is seriously deranged."

Is it really necessary to get into this?

I'm an idiot. I've learned to accept it.
