Finally got the tone pot in the 30 Day bass working lol. The pot was fine my dumb arse didn't read the schematic right at the tone pot and mistakenly shifted over a leg on the pot. Slapped some Fender Tapewounds, so dig the way they sound and look.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Lol first time that occurred he took me to Shakespeare in the park and I so didn't want to go regardless (I really don't dig that guys stuff) but he was bringing a lot of good beer. Anyways then we stop and pickup some girl and she's all dressed nice and made a picnic for two. I stayed on the far edge of the picnic blanket, and drank myself happy then ran to his car to burn a tree branch.
He never heard from her again surprisingly.
I had that happen he was so adamant and I kept telling him to go away. Does Kijiji mean something?
Never tried one of those. What's the EQ like?
If she's cocky, she'll at least have enough confidence I guess.
I could never be a stand-up comic, so I don't really know much about it.
I generally don't use a term that someone who the term refers to informs is a slur. I just don't do it. Even if it would be funny. Humor, to me, isn't worth pooping on people that society already ***** on enough.
I also firmly believe that generally if a word is a slur, only the people to whom the slur refers can really use it without looking like a bit of an *******. It belongs to them. You know, like how black people can call each other "nigga" all the time, but since I'm not black, I should avoid doing so.
Some things don't really depend on inflection. But it doesn't make someone a bigot if they just didn't know (although it's embarrassing to find out, at least for me, that a term I've been using isn't okay, but the people informing me usually aren't that angry about it, as they assume I just didn't know).
I dunno, there was this one chick doing stand up who I thought was hilarious and also very cute... but she was a lesbian.
That is possibly not the best way to go about doing what he's trying to do. Not the best with communication, is he?
Ugh, shag scammers.
I remember when I was trying to sell my old bass amp, dude sent me a giant check from a nonexistent bank. His poor communication he blamed on being deaf. My reaction, obviously, was "so why are you trying to buy a bass amp, then, jackass?"
Sarah Silverman is cute, but can get annoying.
He's not from America and a PHd so while I understand him fine, some things he'll say and do are kinda out their, and you can tell he's lived the 3rd world life. He once flicked a bunch of roaches off some food and tried to offer it to me...
Lol he was planning on enjoying the low end rumble and you took that from him. This one guy didn't scam me, but he had like cerebral palsy and was all sorts of afflicted. He came to buy my peavey Windsor head and said I can't play, will you play it to prove it works. Then I sell it to him and he says it's a backup for his jcm800 full stack. Didn't want to be a dick but I'm really curious what he needs either amp for if he can't play.
Free record player day, guys I'm a vinyl guy now. But my rule to myself is I can only get cheap stuff that's odd and is probably not found elsewhere or just good deals. Maybe $5 tops. So far I have like 40 vinyls and only spent around $8-$10..
NENA 99LUFTBALLONS time!

There money to be had flipping records? Seems some are asking quite a bit of money for the fact I spent 0.00-0.49 on each of them.
Really disappointed one was the Beatles first ever album cover, but Help! is inside it...victory but the crazy victory it could of been.
Not a country fan but I dig the old stuff, and that stone county one is old ozark hillbillies twanging out traditional songs

Sarah Silverman is hit or miss for me. Some of her stuff is hilarious, some is just gross and not very funny.
Ah, I see. So he doesn't get some social norms.
And... the scammer was... well, I eventually strung him along after contacting law enforcement. I think they eventually got him for another scam, actually.
Why would he need a JCM800 fullstack if he can't play? Let alone a backup? Does he own a studio or something?
WOOT WOOT
That is an awesome thing to get free.
Who cares what he needs it for if he's got money. I once sold a muscle car to a guy that was too fat to sit behind the wheel. I had to drive him around on the test drive, then drive the car to his house. His wife gave me a ride home, pissing and moaning the whole time because he bought the car without telling her and he had half a dozen rusted heaps in the yard.
Another busy day of moving done. Sold my behringer sansamp clone and managed to score a reel lawn mower for $10. Moved more poopie, did laundry and mowed the lawn at the new place. Busy busy busy.
So this happened at practice today. Have some sound clips that I have to go through and trim down.
Monster rig for sure. In half power the room was vibrating hard at the point of break up. Full on dirty was wonderful.
Jefferson airplane
Aerosmith
James brown
The Beatles
Lipp Sinc funky town lol
Man there's some decent albums in this stack of free stuff.
My rigs ghetto and offers no volume or EQ options. Is that cool though? It comes out as intended? Or should I rig up my Demeter pre Instead and have tubes and control?

Lmao, that's amazing.
What kind of muscle car, btw? I'll probably never own one, but I still think they look pretty cool.
Psh, EQ options. Who needs those?
In all seriousness, actually, transparency is actually something I want when it comes to a stereo system. I want it to be dead flat, or as close to it as possible. At least in the range where human hearing is sensitive. I don't want to have to twiddle knobs. With my own I usually just leave things as they are.
Actually, question for people with record players and older stereo amps... what does the "loudness" button/switch actually do? It seems to change the sound as well as boosting the volume.
Hell yeah. I actually like the way beat-up Ampeg fridge cabs look.
I don't mind it but I think I'm gonna duratex it just as a project, and crooked/smashed speaker grill frames has always been a pet peeve of mine.
To those of you who buy or ship vinyls what's a save way to ship but also economical? Was considering flipping some of these. I'll try the local store to get an estimate on what I can get the lazy route. But amazon eBay idk where I'd sell or what's good? But these are cheap investments if they move for more than $0-$5.
I think you might need a cheap phono preamp, to get the right (RIAA) eq.
Rolls makes one for 52.
There's a Behringer one for 20, but I can't vouch for it.
