Did you get the 105q? Don't like it, eh? Man, I really dig mine.

Looking at the pic you posted, mine is a little different...the volume & Q knobs are on the bottom, not on the sides.

Yeah it is a 105Q, I think there were definitely two series/versions of it, this one had the tweakable pots on the inside too. It's not bad, and I like the automatic on and off function. I think I just need a regular guitar one like the Modtone or one of the other Crybabies, since I like wah more on guitar anyway. I really want to try that new EH Crying Tone wah out too.

Anyone gone through a band name change? Guitarist is fed up with the Mercian/merican thing and wants to change the name. It was such a pain in the ass the first time around that i withdrew my vote and told him to pick whatever name he wants. Drummer had no opinion.

I think it would be detrimental to our progress at this point. Also i think the whole confusion is pretty funny, just laugh it off and move on.

Guitarist doesn't think it's funny at all and seems to get a little butthurt when it happens.

Then there's the fact that every band I've ever been in has experienced the mistaken or misspelled name thing. Not to this extent, but still.

Anyone have any thoughts or experiences changing band names?

Change it to Mersian.

My other band got a cease and desist from the black metal castevet. Although we had music out first and more out there and more of a following than them. They had a defunct/empty myspace page that was started 3 months before we took the name.

Also one of the dude's in that bands dad is a trademark lawyer.

We compromised with them by dropping the vowels out of the name (hence CSTVT) so we didn't have to do a full name change and confuse everyone. It was a pain in the ass, and it was pretty weird how many of our fans thought we did it by choice to be cool or something. Our fans and the fans of the NY black metal band fought on the last.fm page for awhile, it was funny to us since we really didn't care.

That's like what happened to Middian, though they folded as a result of the lawsuit.

Well I think it is important to pick a name that makes you stand out. I'm listening to this Egypt band and really digging the album, but I'd never name my band Egypt. Makes it really difficult to find them on facebook. If you google search "supervoid", the first two hits are scientific wiki articles and the next two hits are our bandcamp and facebook. That's the kind of band name you want.

When I saw there was a doom band named Egypt, I expected it to be all eastern sounding or something, I guess like a Doom version of Melechesh or something, and then they weren't, and I was disappointed.

So I was just flipping through the photos in the Cliff Burton book, and found that he was playing what looks to be a Road 215 in 83. These are kind of oddball cabs, I happen to have one and I believe Thombo on here was looking at one a few weeks ago. Most sources say he used Mesa 115's, but the Mesa Road Ready Series is distinctly different from these. The Mesa's have 1 solid grill, not 2 separate round ones. The mesa is also side ported while the Road is ported on the bottom. hmn.... :hmm:

He did use Mesa 115 cabs, at least later one. They were custom cabs with the same side dimensions as a guitar 4x12, though.

Did that this afternoon, by the end of tomorrow I will have painted every room in my house, twice. Painters are my personal fuucking heros. Anybody who can do what that everyday without killing people is a saint. Painting blows. In other news carpet guys and window world are coming tomorrow to eat my g.a.s. fund for lunch. Bastards. Still should make this hellhole sell faster, which aught to fix that g.a.s. fund problem.

Oh and woohoo to the Cavin precision pickup, its about damn time.

6hrs of gaming. I'm tired and hungry. I should just go to sleep. But I'm too hungry and have no food at the house. Lame.
Jack in the Crack here I come.

Tomorrow... More gaming. Some light Star Wars reading. I'm nerdin it up this weekend. I even took Monday off to extend the festivities. Maybe I should stock up on Hot Pockets and Mt. Dew.

Can't put the BB gun down... I strapped a flash light to it with rubber bands, and shoot the bugs that fly in my aura.

What do you get at the jack? Those tacos are freaky but such a good deal. That's the longest drive thru line after 12am I think. What game/s you playing?
