I'd say sweet dreams, but if it's gonna be about me, well, 'sweet' probably wouldn't describe it.
Sold a quad, did some yard work, now off to lunch and picking up a Sansamp BDDI and possibly an effects pedal.
Tat had my mind going too. I stopped at Long & McQuade (Canada's Guitar Center) on the way home this afternoon.
Had both of the Squier Fretless basses in my hands that I did last visit. Only $300. But I don't need it. I also saw a Fender J- that was red with the bridge pup cover and had a matching headstock. It was $1700. I didn't buy it either but was very surprised that it had a huge chunk out of the finish on the head stock and it was still that price. Serial number started with a Z so it should be MIA. I may need another look at it. Bet they let it go really cheap due to the chip in the headstock.
So I spent the princely sum of about $9. Yup, I bought some strap locks because the strap let loose on my MapleGlo Rick this morning and I am NOT going to let something like that happen again. I had it firmly by the neck at the time so no harm came to it.

Hmmmm, sweet is in the description but, yea, it's certainly not at the top of the list.
You know, despite all of the double entendres, sweet is the first adjective I would use to describe any and all of the Thumpkateers.
At the drum forum where im a moderator we refer to pics of drums as "drum porn".
I posted a pic of the C-4 XXX and one of the guys called it bass porn. With those inlays the decription really fits.

It does play well and the inlays are amusing.
I'm sure that they will offend someone, but it will be someone without a sense of humor.
You should find one.

Only two strings away from an attitude problem.
I picked up a Sansamp BDDI today..I freaking love it. I am using it to drive the amp section of my Kustom head (bypassing the EQ) and I am loving the tone. I really love the ampeg tone and this gets me really close to it. I also picked up a Boss ODB-3 Overdrive pedal..I'm on the fence about that right now. I may end up returning that.
pics of basses are bass porn.
pics of basses with Thumpketeers are a new category of porn.
I dig the tube in a cage. What sort of tone does it give it? The BDDI sounds a bit like an Ampeg SVT to me (which I have absolutely no problem with).
I got to play this bass today. It was made by Nils Valentine, a Danish luthier who happens to be friends with my singer's roommate.

It has a nice, growly tone, and aside from a bit of stickiness on the neck, plays great.
