Episode 88: S/D thread - No Hope

Drove 40mins to meet up with a dude from craigslist to check out his Peavey T-40. Looked alright in the ad but it did say it was refinished. When I saw it in person I was shocked on how sheeetee it was. I guess refinished to him means take a spray can of black and poop all over the bass. He wanted $300 and I was like...nahhh. So that trip was all for nothing. Off to my buddys wood shop to work on some pedalboards and to get started on this SG guitar kit I have had sitting in my closet for 2yrs.

Bummer, but that's Craigslist for you. You will land the keeper eventually.
 
Yeah it wouldnt have been that big of deal to remove the crap and I wanted to sand it down and refinish it myself anyways but I didnt think it was worth what he was asking for considering the condition and the lack of the OHSC. Probs a good thing anyways. I should start saving for a Ric.

I hear ya squatch...Problem with C-list around here is I have to drive a min of 40mins to get to where any of the good stuff is being sold, so its an even bigger gamble for me. Oh well.....next time. :)
 
Tease of what must be Ron's bass

Can you even play that fingerstyle?
 
Totally not stoner/doom related, but I submitted an entry to a mix contest. Winner gets a Telefunken Copperhead mic, runners up get an M82 (dynamic mic) or a free premium membership to the site. Dunno if I have any chance of winning, but it was good practice. The track is a live bluesy song by Big Head Todd & The Monsters.
