Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[ampegfuzz]

I feel like you spend $200 on strings a week??

Do you save all the old ones? You could build a little suspension bridge.

I save almost ALL strings, especially flats I have a hard time committing to strings so I always have extra sets. I'll try to "cut them" when their too bad so I don't reuse them. I clean them with alcohol before they get put back into use. I have about 3-4 sets of flats and 1-2 of rounds hanging on my parts shelf. Also have 2-3 new sets that I can't decide what to put on yet

So it's like an episode of Hoarders'round your place?
Just piles and piles of strings surrounding everything you own.

Sekova

Neck is super bowed and the truss is stripped so it doesn't get played. . It sounds killer though

 

[deathsdj]

She grew forehead ridges and engaged in really rough sex with you that involved biting?

No I would have enjoyed that.

She got all shi**y with me for not answering her texts for a couple of hours. I was asleep for one and we had just hung out for like 12 hours the day before. I have had bad experiences with chicks like that in the past so I broke it off.

I'm already on to something else. I'm kind of on a roll at the moment. Feels good after a six year hell run and a loooooooooooooooooooong dry spell.

Man you said you was super fat the other day what a lie. Awesome bass too. If you lived in denton we could combine all our gear and be unstoppable.

Slide bass? or toss the guts into a squier.

So unfair sartori beat me to Star Trek punch... But dude a lady that needy would totally buy you stuff! Especially British I feel.

 

[ampegfuzz]

Fat now less fat

I've thought about tearing it apart more then a few times but can't bring myself to do it. Someday I'll get a cheap neck and slap it on it. Also maybe explore the wiring since when both pups are in it in series and gets super quiet. The pickups slay though.

I know it man. I agonized over it for a moment but in the end I would rather just buy my own stuff. She had to many requirements for me anyway. Yes I'm trying to get out of the clubs and do the day job thing but I don't really need someone bugging me about it all the time. It was her main thought every time we talked.

New girl is an old friend with benefits that I ran into online on POF. I had not seen her in like eight years and she still looked good so I shot her a message. We are hanging out at her place tomorrow.

That's cool!! 78/79 was around when they finally started making their own designs and not clones. My ibby is around the first year production.

I could see where she'd be on edge about what you do, but you didn't seem to be dating long so it is kinda weird she'd be so picky so fast. The right thing would be for her just to leave you right away if it was a big issue... Otherwise back off I got two mouths to feed.
