Well we came to an agreement on a band name. Hope it isn't being used by anybody... or too many people haha. I don't really care, it's just going to be a local thing anyway.

Ancient Oak

Need to try to find a cool font. I have an idea how I want the A to look. But I can't draw or write worth a crap... Any good sites with some cool fonts?
Wanting something kind of a mix between cursive and old english/celtic.

Sorry to do this, but figured a name that awesome HAD to be taken already. Russian Black metal...

Yeah, it's too hard to be original anymore.
If there's only one other in Russia, not to worried.
Plus some cool writing with a big bad ass evil looking tree in the backround is up my alley.

The other choices were

Sky Daddy
Moros (greek god of doom)
Riff Worship

I'd go for the blender. if you make smoothies you can vary more with ingredients than you could with a juicer. my smoothie philosophy is that as long as there is more of one ingredient (berries, banana, apple, etc.) than the others, you're safe.

I stopped using my juicer because of the cleanup issues mentioned by someone here. Also, I felt that I didn't get enough juice out of the veggies (carrots, for instance).

+1 on the blender. I use one everyday.

My favorite smoothie is for workout recovery, but is good for general health.

1 cup frozen blueberries, a banana, handful of fresh kale, 2Tb spoons flax seed, and a bit of juice or water.

NBD! Picked up a used Epi Thunderbird off Craigslist for a song. The only downside is the kid who had it spray painted the pick guard, rendering it useless. I think I may go guard-less, but will need to fill the screw holes somehow for sake of my OCD. Going to get a quote from a local luthier, but I assume it's going to cost almost what I paid for the bass. May try my hand at drop filling myself.

Thing sounds great though. Love the passive pickups for heavy stuff compared to my EMG equipped ESP J1005. The ESP is definitely a better build, but just doesn't growl like the T-bird. I thew on some Flat Chromes, used purple thread lock on the bridge studs to get rid of the play, tightened up the tuners, re-hydrated the fretboard, relocated the front strap button to the neck plate to curb neck dive, set action, and intonated. Sounds delicious.

Anyone try Lollar PU's in their Epi T-birds?
