I've heard the b412 is not as efficient and as low end heavy, plus less headroom, due to the small size of the cab. I think it's only 14" deep small vented down in the corner. He just modifies his guitar cabs for those. The 212 is more of a traditional bass standard 212, deeper and tuned lower. It has a crazy amount of low end. More than I would want to use. I definitely dial the bass back a bit when I play one. But they sound sweet.

I have money saved up for a band saw, for the garage wood shop I'm putting together at home. Just found a guy on CL not too far away selling a similar spec saw in good condition, with tons of extra blades and accessories for ~$250 less than what I was going to spend. Fingers crossed, that extra scratch might translate to some gear funding.
He JUST emailed me back to say it sold last night! I was going to email the guy on Monday, but I was busy wrapping up the demo stuff. Oh well, hopefully another good deal on something pops up soon. I'm not in a rush, I probably won't even get this shop up and running until the fall at soonest.
Leaves you with enough time to fill out a norm Abrams beard and some quality flannel for that crisp autumn wood shoppin'
What size are you? I too lost a lot of weight (still am), so over the holiday I had to goodwill all my clothes and went to kohls in three states so I can safely say they have the same stuff in all stores and they had a lot of discount clothes and a lot was flannel in medium.
Large size shirt, but I usually wear XL anyway, since it's more comfortable and I'm not a fitting clothes type of person. I was at about 3X before I lost weight.
They had XL too, it seems large is the big seller, so either side of that is there.
I was a size 38-40 and large/XL, so I had to goodwill everything I owned, which was 50-70 shirts and 30-40 pants and shorts ranging from 36+. Now I'm a 34 and a medium and falling. So I got a very limited wardrobe, that's in flux now. I keep forgetting to weigh myself, but it's been since June that I started dropping.
Bummer. Hit up the local pawn shops, there's always ********* of tools at pawn shops. You can usually find a good deal on name-brand stuff. A lot of the higher-quality stuff has no-fault warranties that carry over as well.
I have a Land's End gift card from christmas, so I'll probably stock up on some new shirts from there at some point. We have a Kohl's in town, I don't think I've ever stepped inside. I might have to go check it out if I ever have money to spare again lol.
nice corey, kicking ass on the weight loss stuff!
Im currently on the weight gain. Gain weight probs up to 200# then go back down to like 185# after that.

Unfortunately, that doesn't really translate to this area. There are only a few pawn shops here and they're all in the worst part of town. It's mostly CDs, garden tools, jewelry and instruments that have been stolen from me.
I feel like I have to put an exception on every generally universal thing for this area lol. Ohhh...music venues? Indian food? Book stores? Yeah, we don't have those things, sorry. Can I interest you in some gang violence and nothing fun to do?
Kohls is good prices lots of discounts and send you stacking coupons, so if you need decent clothes quick it works out.
Man, that's a let down. Madison only has two pawn shops, but both of them (Pawn America especially) are LOADED with power tools. Even better, the guys at the shop don't really know what they have most of the time and there's so much of it that you can argue them down on price pretty easily.
Out of curiosity, how are you losing all that weight?
I remember some months back people talking about various diets and exercise plans on here.
My two cents to everyone is don't mess around with low carb diets. I am pretty sure that is what caused my gout and this **** sucks.
Yeah Kohl's isn't too bad. Normally I just make the wife bring me clothes home and I pick what I like and what fits lol.
Speaking of losing weight, I'm on day 3 of Focus T25. I puked the first day, it was rough haha. Not really trying to lose weight (I'm already pretty slim at 6'5" 210) but I am definitely out of shape. Day 1 cardio destroyed me.

I just did straight forward calorie counting. There was a lot of subtlety to my approach though, just specific to my own psychology and what worked best for me to stick to it. For me though it was having a long timeline and being realistic, changing habits and not "going on a diet". I'm at about a total of 120 lbs lost since January 2011. The first 100 took about 14 months.
Felt the same way with the WF and VT. Also dug the finger clips over pick, like Ron, which is strange since I mostly use a pic when I play with dirt. I do lust for a WF now though
