Your 4th grade geography teacher must have loved you
I'm so old we didn't even have maps back then.
You just sent out people in four directions and hoped one came back huh?
Yep. If the yellow ball in the sky deems us worthy one of them will return.
Old creep was driving a rusted out winnebago that reeked of rotten meat. Also, he never offered to help, as i was clearly stranded with a dead car and alone. Not that i would have accepted, the owner of the car was off with another friend to borrow a truck and tow straps, but any remotely normal person would have offered to drive me in to town or something. I was ready to collapse his face with that tire iron, glad it didn't come to that.
Yeah menacing a crowbar and coprophagia were your only options with that guy.
Finally got a footswitch for my Peavey Supreme head. Forgot how much I enjoyed its OD channel. Currently working on getting a nice bluesy tone from my new-to-me DOD Classic Tube, and a slight OD from the head, that when both are combined I get a nice doom sound. Should be fun! I feel I'm close, but not quite there. Right now it sounds like a muddy version of thrash, but I'll keep twiddling away! I'm hoping to be able to use these settings to get rid of a pedal on my board so I can add the Joyo Classic Flange back on.
Super fuzz is ok on bass, no low end loss with the brass knob cranked. Gets really synthy on fuzz 2. Don't think I'll use it in the band, but it's a nice addition to my cheap dirt collection and a fun piece to have around. Eventually I'm going to build a gigantic pedal board for guitar, totally impracticable and homemade, but fun. Just need to fix half a dozen pedals first...
I've been intrigued by the FZ2, really by Abominable's demon lung. I just don't have money or need for another fuzz at the moment.
Yeah it is a handful. Gets to 100 real quick and feels like you are coating at 150. Scariest car I have ever driven.
That will move if you built on it...
Hey fellas so I scored this bag end d10bx-d for $280(asking price $350)on Craigslist.
I got to try it out on the guys fender jazz thru a Hartke lh4000? The low end for 2x10s actually sounded really good. I was pretty surprised.
I think eventually I'll get one of the 1x15 4(ohm) extension cabs out there or buy a fearless bassic 15 with the faital 4(ohm) and run the svt 2 pro on 2(ohm).
In Kansas we have open carry and conceal carry without a permit. I pack almost all the time unless I'm going somewhere they are not allowed like court. Businesses can post no gun stickers and make you leave if you bring one in. I always respect that. I mainly carry because I work in a strip club and am surrounded by drunken ******** every night. Its goddamned Deadwood out here...
That's pretty cool.
I'll never get a CC if it requires being listed though.
Open carry is fine by me, but I wouldn't do it. My possibly wrong assumptions are
1. I think I'd get hit over the head and my gun taken, or someone just grab and run.
2. I assume wearing a gun would only serve as birth control. Aka the best defense against a date with the opposite sex.
I think I have to send the micro synth in to EHX to get the circuit fixed and two sliders replaced. They won't go all the way up, almost, but no. Also the octave up and square wave if even raised a tiny bit start introducing massive noise that rings out louder than the effected signal.
Supposedly it's not expensive ($15-$25) so might still be under $100... Also found out you can remove the boards and drill a hole and easily set up an optional expression out and turn it into a synth wah.

Happy Sunday everybody. Today is the wife and I's annual thanksgiving III celebration. All of the family obligations are done, so it's just the two of us. I'm roasting a boneless leg of lamb with potatoes carrots and onions, side of broccoli and some sort of dessert.
