S/D Bassists #86 - Dollar Tree Romance

Good news, over lunch I snagged a reservation at a swanky place for tomorrow, and locked down a dozen roses to pick up after work.

Everyone in a good relationship knows theres a level of give and take... I play along with the holidays because she doesnt care what I do any other day of the year. She can hang with me and my buds and participate along with my shenanigans, but at heart she's a girly girl and eats it up when we get dressed up and go out somewhere nice.. doesnt hurt that she usually has some new Vic Secret swag for me when we get home ;) And I always enjoy an excuse to eat a $50 steak.

Some epic Craigslistery happening today... I just picked up the 70's Small Stone at an intersection downtown. Guy originally posted it for $120, at which time I offered him $90. He wanted to wait it out, so a few weeks later I see he's got it listed at $90.... I offer him $80 and convenient pickup and he bit.

Then my guitarist and I found a guy selling his dad's old Sun Sorado and Sunn 2x15 with busted speakers, $800 for the whole kit. I sent him a shot in the dark offer for $150 for the cab and he bit, I think its a fair deal and I can add speakers to match my current Sunn 2x15 and have a pretty epic 2 ohm rig. Didnt have any interest in the 50 watt Sorado head.. but should I?

They're not great for bass, but I like them for guitar with an OD or distortion pedal in front. However, it sounds like this guy is going to expect to get a lot more $$$ for it than I would pay.
 
Prymaxe is having a 20 percent off $99 dollars or more effects sale. Trying to decide between the Jamman Solo XT or the XT Express. Think it might be worth the extra 40 bucks to be able to record the loops, have a basic metronome, and have the aux input. But also just love how simple that XT Express is like the Ditto. Hmmm...
 
Mike, these last several posts/responses you've had have been gold. I'm laughing at my desk like a weirdo.

well youve now inspired me to actually listen to nothing else matters, so here i go.

can you imagine how many thrash guys thought this was the worst song ever written? just think about it, justice comes out after cliff dies, theyre still rocking hard. dudes wait in line for the black album for an entire day, yeah they heard enter sandman and its pretty lame, but never fear, the rest of the album will be huge, they just know that metallica still has it. after the first 7 huge disappointments they get to track 8: nothing else matters.

100% guarantee that if the guiness book of world records had recorded the most "what the **** is this ****?"'s uttered in one day, it was the black album release in 1991.
