    Tips for getting my brain in gear?

    One important thing to remember too, is to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning if at all possible.

    New Member Bass Build

    "Avatar" - the movie

    Looks like it's gonna be pretty good if you ask me. I work at a cinema, but I missed the trailer which was shown in 3D which premiered last night. Gutted! Reminds me a bit of Lucas' recent Star Wars films in style though, if they were more 'personal' rather than 'sci-fi'.

    The Official "Show your basses" Thread - Return to the Octagon

    I'll celebrate it all right, but I won't buy you anything! :p Seriously though, that's made me broke for the next 18 months. But, it. Is. So. Worth. It.

    Black or Chrome knobs?

    +1 for black knobs, with a black plate it'd look even better! Keep the thumb rest.

    RANT about how rubbish the UK is for gear (unless you're in London)

    That's one of the downsides of being on an island! But you should be able to get pretty much whatever you want online...

    Looking for a job!

    Hey man, I hear you. I graduated from Edinburgh Uni 2 years ago and I work at a cinema selling hot dogs. But, I have had 6 months worth of awesome voluntary work and just got back from a wicked 1 week UK top to bottom tour with my band. Life is what you make it. Take it as it comes.

    +1 for google chrome I've got 5 different browsers on my computer and chrome is the only one I really use.

    New Orange OBC410 break in

    Unfortunately not! I've got some very irritable neighbours and I don't fancy starting *another* war...
