I felt good just reading that, haha. I pulled my Jazz out last night after about a week of inaction and busted out some sweet Kyuss riffs for a long while. Felt DAMN good.

Nope, that's a whole other level. Losing control over my basic functions and sanity, like not sleeping or eating. If I'm not doing something productive and engaging with my time that blows off steam and makes me feel productive, I just get cranky and have lots of knots in my neck and shoulders.
I know what you mean, your description just sounded allot like a euphemism.
Did you end up scrapping that P bass body?
Nope, I stripped the botched clear coat off. I just need to repaint it. Just putting it off, because I need a lot of time to redo the color coat (sanded through it a bit on the edges, getting the clear coat off), then try again to do the clear coat properly. I haven't had a solid weekend free in a while and there's holidays coming up. I have some time off between christmas and the new year, where the shop is going to be closed. So I might be able to do it then, if not any time before.
The next project I'm doing (Esquire style guitar), I'm going to do a different, easier finish. Just so I can get it done a lot quicker and have something fun to play. I could just string and wire up the p-bass now and play it, it just looks very "relic" lol.
Got news that VEGAs guitarist is getting out before thanksgiving! But were not gonna be jumping right back on the horse, going to need to learn to ride again. I mean he's gonna have a lot of stuff he has to deal with, aa, house arrest, whatever. He isn't gonna be able to drive and he lives a half an hour in the opposite direction of the space from me and the drummer...
but he's out, glad about that.
but he's out, glad about that.
Whoa, might need to get filled in on that one. What happened? DUI or something?
Glad to hear it Max, i hope the band keeps going and you guys play a lot more shows.
Si senor, it was his third, been in the pony since Sept 28, was forced to cancel a months worth of shows and a festival, as well as halt recording for the billionth time.
Drinking and driving is bad mmmkay?
Ugh, what a nightmare. Must be one helluva guitarist to keep him in the band after all that lol. I'd be spewing if I had to cancel a festival slot due to my bandmate's **** up.
Still, good to hear you're trooping on and picking up where you left off. Hope the guitarist behaves from now on, too.
I hope so too but gonna need to take things a step at a time. I do know that if we do get going again and get back to the point of recording, were going to a studio, taking it completely out of our hands and our space.
That's great news Max. Things get interesting when you have a member who can't drive.
Hope y'all find a way to make it work, Vega seemed to make you happy.
Well, im not mad at him but I'm not going to just go on as if nothing happened. This changes things big time. I can see us being a studio band or something because the three of us had a strong musical connection but I'm sure playing or being in bars isn't a good idea for him anymore. Without him, there is no Vega. In the year we've been a band we've been through a lot and become friends, he just made a very stupid mistake, everyone does once in a while, it just depend on how from here on out goes down. Its the better of the two paths that could have happened, but there's still many variables.
Fair call, mate. Everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves - friends more than most. I just hope for your and Vega's sake that he actually learns from this mistake.
In stoner news, friend lent me his volcano... I'll try not to have too much fun.
Edit: oops, well he told me one bag is good for two people over a while, so I just slammed a double dose full bag in a minute. EXTREME!

Haha naw. On the contrary, the local and semi local bands are great bands and good dudes. Apparently Bobby was super creepy and clearly not sober. Had trouble with his mic stand and threw a hissy fit about it.
Yeah I do that with my vape sometimes. Its quite nice haha
Super creepy and clearly not sober... I finally have the words to describe my aspirations.
Having only heard of pentagram via such hawks and bobbies doc. I don't see how they're that special and the attention doesn't seem to make Bobbie better. Crack addled brat would be my description of him.
Also they never would have gotten famous anyways, their original drummer looks incredibly weird and wears way too tight clothing for his girth. He looks like Andre the giants sister here.

With that hair, he looks like Claudio Sanchez's (Coheed & Cambria) angsty half-brother.
