Uhm, could someone explain what "bounce" is? Cuz I have no idea...

And also, lol:

Sad but True would still be a shvtty riff even with a bouncy drum beat


see Kid Rock.

Agreed.

I wasn`t trying to start a holy war. Just trying to point out that it`s odd for someone to hang out in a place where they hate everything.

Bounce is what makes the ladies shake their happy attributes.
Bee does not appreciate such motion. He prefers fist bumps and bro hugs.

If THEY want a holy war, I'll give them a unholy war. FEEL THE WRAITH OF MY DOOMY FUZZ

I'm going to start frequenting the Praise and Worship thread and tell them every day\all day how much I hate church. Seems like a good way to spend my time.

Just start talking about playing at pagan/satanic gatherings or something.

He was a carpenter so he probably had a few in the manger come to think of it.

No manger was good enough for J. He built his own so he could be born into it.

No bounce Aka musical birth control?

I guess that was nothing after he built the time machine to have that happen.

Can't be, bee has a litter of rug rats.

So this is weird.



Finally got to sit down and mess with my new T-40 and noticed something... odd. This look right to yinz?



The craziest part, this bass is obviously well played... I found out its an '83. Have people been playing this bass for 31 years with a crooked bridge???

This was my first hint that something was amiss....

Not as apparent in the pic, but in real life the bridge is laughably off center of the strap button

Its still surprisingly playable, although completely out of intonation, not sure if due to the overall wonkiness or just adjustment. Its off just enough that drilling new holes would be difficult, the bit would slide into the old holes and I just think it'd be messy... maybe switch the bridge? Although this old school bridge is just too badass.



I cant quite figure out if the electronics are doing what they're supposed to, so gonna crack that open later today and get a gander. This $100 bass just turned into a fun project!

$100 bucks for a T-40?! Good score, even if it needs some work . I have an 83 black/rosewood that is one of my favorite basses

Lights out, missionary, no eye contact. It's not about fun, it's about procreation.

I'm not sure my apparatus can operate under those conditions.

Well, in norway we have saying that goes "in the dark, all cats are grey". Not sure if you get that, but in certain situations those conditions are an advantage...

It's the fringe benefits that make the job right?
Yeah I remember you saying that once. Every good church burning Viking needs easy access to rams.
