I've noticed at least in the places I've lived that LGBT folk and pitties are a very frequent combination. I think maybe on a subconscious level it's kinda like we both deal with the same societal outcast status, so maybe we bond over that. Or, maybe I'm still blazed from last night. Both are...

Wow that's gorgeous!

There's something about this that's so black, it's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

I was always a 'by ear' player, and that let me cover pretty much all the territory I wanted to at the time, but I've always wanted to truly understand the instrument. Having the strings all separated equally vs guitar simplifies it a bit for me, and I've been able to soak up a lot more than...

Great thread, I'm in the same boat and theory is overwhelming. simplified explanations like I'm seeing here are invaluable at this stage. And definitely keep it fun! I've broken my practice time between fretboard memorization, theory, and trying to get a new song under my fingers every day or...

I just moved from there last year, the Al Rosa is a great venue. Never had a problem, even at Mushroomhead Halloween shows which are known for being a little intense. Have fun and don't sweat it.

I recently got an SR300eb around Christmas, and while I don't have a ton of experience with others (Washburn Taurus 5 string being my only other bass) I've found these to be really versatile. Coming from guitar, I'm definitely not used to that from a $350 instrument.

To be fair, it took a half dozen house meetings to settle on that one and I'm still convinced we ended up there because half the people had no idea what it meant. :p

LOL, when I first came out I lived in a house full of beautifully weird folk. Ours was called Ville Villekulla. Let's see who gets that reference!

You, Sir, are a genius and should receive a humanitarian award for this!

"Weirdos" are the only people I associate with. Everyone else is hiding something!

No no I'd never besmirch the earthly delight that is bubble wrap! I'm talking about that clear hard plastic heat sealed crap you need scissors or a knife to open, in which they diabolically package things like scissors and knives.

I'm so jealous of you right now. I sold my 78 LP Custom during a rough time and miss her every single day.

Oh yeah, I just read your original post again, and PG stuff has some awesome metal amp packs and effects packs. Honestly, I'd just go for the 'all access' which ends up being cheaper than buying separately. Don't tell anyone around here but I'm primarily a metal guitarist *trying* to become a...

The thing that sold me on BIAS was how easy it is to set up parallel paths. I thought it would be a pain but there's really nothing to it. It helps that there's a lot of user made patches for free download too, though on some you might not have all of the effects they used and have to pony up...
