I sure hope I do, I've spent enough time over the last eight years trying to emulate his playing.
Don't emulate his drinking though, unless you got a secondary liver laying about.
And happy Bday Julian!
Happy Birthday Julian! [it's my name also

Hi Askrere! Playing my first gig April 1st...I am from Miami Florida. Band's name is: Terminal Fate
I'm having bass withdrawal these past few days... Last week while changing the the 9v battery, the electronics failed. So I sent my baby to the kansas warranty factory[Musiciansfriend].I get a response on the status of my baby next thursday, I'm really hoping they don't make
me pay for the pickups/pots/electronics... I almost impulsively bought a Squire Bronco this morning from Sam Ash for $140; I'm glad my friend stopped me and said: "Dude, you still owe $800 on your musicians friend platinum[CreditCard]"
Random story I know, just wanted to share it with you guys.
Here's a little clip from a rehersal on New Year's.

I make very weird facial expressions, and my eyes roll back [ I am not on drugs, it's nerve damage from a concussion]

Hey @JulienneFrankus
Bronco is awesome, but yea no need to indebt yourself for one.
Spent entire day car shopping/almost buying for a friend with anxiety who can't haggle. Had to go home empty handed as I left for 3 min to pee and they jumped on her and she admitted her price range that was above what I had been angling, and they refused to haggle after that... Oh well. Still love taking free food and drinks from the dealership and practicing my dealing skills.

really not a good weekend so far, earlier today band practice was cancelled due to a sleepy/grumpy gf, the truss rod snapped like a twig this morning on the black 90s LB100 bass that I bought last year for my birthday, and yesterday the clog remover ate up the pipes below the bathroom sink
hopefully i can cover all the expenses and still pay my property taxes, ugh

Not a PAF fan?
Didn't know the tuners were riveted, kinda bummer.
Why the hell would anyone cut pickup holes like that?
Either way if you got a good price there's no better vintage bass to mod.
When it rains it pours. Your luck is bound to change.
Free hand routing, what a bad idea.
I'm not a P fan, really at all. J bass or humbuckers usually. Guild Bi-sonic is my favorite, so I'm going that route.
That's very nice of you to help your friend like that; I get panic attacks when I am in debt; I have been coerced into buying several lemon cars on craiglist $2k-5k range, about 3 times. I get extreme anxiety when I purchase anything face-to-face that involves credit score requirements/ monthly installments. It put a smirk on my face to read that you got a kick out of practicing your dealing/hagling skills.
Anyone care to chime in on any tips for my first live performance? Practice rituals/staying calm/etc*
I don't drink alcohol anymore, and bud makes me paranoid.
I love this thread, cool people, cool stories of daily life
For me, this idea helped. 90% of the people won't notice your mistakes. 90% of the people who do don't care. Lastly, screw that 1% left over who are ********.
Ooooh I think that ship has sailed. I wasn't crowned the JägerMEISTER for my penchant for sobriety.
All the routing I've done has been free hand. It requires a lot of patience.
