S/D-85: Tasty clippings from Corey's Box

V4 talk, I'm on my phone and couldn't click the link, but this is what I know. The V4 / V4-B are identical, except for the reverb tank. I got my 76 V4-B recently serviced, in working order for $425, I know that's on the lower end of the spectrum, but I'd say 400-600 is pretty average.
 
On band names: I don't care so much where they come from, I the band is cool. However, I have waited way too long to check out great bands because I didn't like their name or because their art didn't appeal to me. I think its cooler to pay homage to a band by using a song title or lyric, because someone will get it... But album titles are slightly less of a private reference.... More people know the albums...

All that being said coming up with names sucks, so go with whatever you guys can agree upon.

We're currently debating Ruins vs Warship. Thoughts?

+1 The song title or lyric homage is better than the band or album name.
I vote Ruins
 
No way. I learned my lesson. That B is still giving me the crazy eyes.

I do have another lady that I am spending time with though. ;)

Oh Datassian. After the preop ENT visit last night I swung by a pet store, and picked up a clown fish. The tank was up high and the long legged, big breasted, college age Betty in skinny jeans with like nil body fat had to climb up a ladder in front of me to scoop out Nemo. Is this one good?...yes...perfect!
My girlfriend said wow she was skinny and had big boobs, like a dope without thinking and being so impressed I said yes that is really very rare. Like I found the Holy Grail or something LOL.

Just remind your lady, that young un might be pretty, but she might not even know what to do with it, even if you were giving it to her.
 
So I spend a lot of time at work working on a bi-annual catalog. We sometimes ask vendors for suggestions as to what products go in. The catalog listings are not monetized, I have the final say over what we put in and what we don't, but it's nice to get suggestions sometimes.

Almost no one ever responds. This morning I got a extremely detailed 3 page email that mostly consists of: "Can you remove our competitor's products and put ours in instead?" Or: "Can you remove essential non-product elements of your catalog so we can put more of our products in?"

Yeah. Sure, I'll get right on that.
 
Yeah I don't know what kind of basses will be available on CL when he's ready to buy in a couple of months but I'll probably steer him towards a Squier VM Jazz or something.

He would prolly like something active for death metal. Just seem to go hand and hand more often. A decent schecter might be a good bet.

Yeah that's a good point too. Can always look for a trusty Soundgear as well.

Little necks=more metal lol
I always liked thin necks for metal. Loved an old passive Jackson I used to have. Humbackers. Good stuff. Played a carvin Acton bass too, had jazz pickups. Both are great for metal and can be found on the cheap.

how the hell do i get one of these?! i take it i most likely need to email Sonny..
Don't sent me 2. If you wear a 2xl you're welcome to one of them. Just pay shipping. Pm me.

Speaking of shows, my girlfriend and I are coming over to New York 27th Mar - 3rd Apr - is there anything good we should be checking out while we're there?

I know Sabbath are playing, but decent tickets are like $300. Whores are playing as well, so might check that out since I've seen a few folk on here mention them.
Chicks dig the Brooklyn flea markets.

300? Insane.

I use my amp's overdrive for compression, and the high volume for sustain. If I need more of the latter, I just push the bass's body against my cab.
Yeah I like using the cab to feedback/resonate/sustain too. Great trick. But. I've got a pigtronix bass philosopher for endless sustain and feedback.

I figure I am now 29. Better see if I can get a parasite before I turn 30. ;)
Happy birthday man.
