Try pre-soaking the grounds (grinds?). Add 2-3 tsps. of hot water into the top hole and let it rest for 20 seconds before you put it in the machine. You can also do this with a K-cup by closing the cup in the machine and removing it to add the hot water. Place cup back in the holder and...

I want to give these guys a plug. Invalid Link Removed They're a local roaster I've been going to for the past 4 months. It's the only place i get my coffee these days. Paul and Andy are very friendly and knowledgeable and are always willing to help pick out a new bean to try. I...

A great coffee maker can only come from a company that also produces world record breaking flying discs. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I picked up this low-tech device from BB&B for $25 and I love it. Here's a quick demo -It brews 1-4 shots of "espresso" at a time. -Less...

My **** just died. Can I bury it in your ass?

I went to GC today to return my Fender B-DEC. It was pretty cool, but I could tell that I would eventually want something with more power. I think I'm going to get the Acoustic B100 or B200. Anyway, the guys at GC were very impressed with the SX Ursa 2 Hum. One guy was shocked that it...

Thanks. Sorry, but I don't have the equipment or the knowledge to post sound clips. This is my first venture into the world of music. Tonight I picked up a used Fender B-DEC for $170 at Guitar Center in East Brunswick NJ. Once I figure out how to use everything on it, it will be a...

I just got my replacement bass. What a difference. This one was properly packed. The box was in good shape, the bags were folded neatly around the bass, the paper was on the strings, there was an extra piece of foam over the bridge, there was plastic covering the PG and pickups and the bass...

Yes, it's the quick and dirty that's bugging me. Like he can't be bothered or is trying to avoid questions. That and the fact that this is my first bass and I am pretty naive about the whole thing and I've been working a lot lately and I got a bull**** ticket the other day.... but yeah. I was...

It would have been nice of him to address my concerns and answer the questions I had asked about the shipping and packaging. I've not asked for a free case or any type of refund and that's not what I'm expecting. In the first e-mail I sent him, I asked about the string paper. No mention of...

I agree. I didn't check for cases when I ordered it. It looks like they only have one ($50) case that fits a jazz bass. Here you can see a small crack on the backside of the HS and some of the damage under the nut... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]...

Before I noticed the cracks, I tried to tune the bass with one of those little Korg CA30 tuners. I don't have any cables so I just sat the bass flat on my lap and rested the tuner on the face of the bass. I couldn't tune the E string at all, the needle never stopped jumping. I could tune the...

Nope. I don't even have an amp. This was going to be my first bass. A co-worker was supposed to bring his amp to work today, but he didn't come in. After I eat dinner I'll open it up and post some more pics. Here you can see the two cracks, one by the tuning peg and one by the truss rod...

I've got one sitting right here next to me. Unfortunately, it's going back because of a cracked headstock :bawl::mad: Just my luck. If there was one bad one out of the twelve that they had in stock, of course I was going to get it. It is a sexy bass though.

Joe Jackson's "Steppin Out" is one of my favorite 80's song and I rarely hear it on the radio. Cool bass too. A good look at the bass in this vid...
