White Spot Monty Mushroom burger is where it's at. That is the summit of fast food hamburgerness.

Another reason to visit Oz, I recon.

Only in Van BC as far as i know. Alberta?

 

[Gaolee]

Wrong word. Fixed it.

Him indoors is hunting down 'trucker' jacket number 28. Serious bass leverage methinks.

You have serous backing if you need it. We are on the way at your command. With levers. It's the least any of us can do, y'know.

Oh. Well then, that's a whole lot closer.

Thanks! My favorite thing in many ways in that clip are the Black Beauty strings. Really impressed so far. I just wish they weren’t black :/

I think DR make the same strings coated in different colors. I need to figure that out, too. I love the way they sound, but I'm not wanting black strings on everything.

Nothing like 3 chord, Brooklyn R&R. For a Saturday night.

Awesome record!

 

[Gaolee]

Close but not quite...

Dragon Skins are "Clear Coated Stainless Steel on a Round Core Wire with Ball End".

All the other coated DR strings are "Nickel-Plated Steel on a Round Core Wire with Ball End".

So Silver Stars are the same as the Black Beauties...

Then I need to find those. As a thoroughly unimaginative person who plays burst instruments and does nothing creative at all, my strings should be silver colored. But I sure like the sound of Black Beauties. I like Cobalt Flats, too, so there's competition for my non-artistic affections.

Buy the case, save yourself a lot of trouble.

And, make sure you pack the case with something. Gibson and Epiphone cases are fine as far as they go, but the bass can still slide around in there a bit. A cheap towel or some paper is a good idea for shipping to protect the bass from shifting in the case.

 

[Gaolee]

Even worse. Ok Kat, let's round up the gang and save the Harley's and Gibson's.

You can keep the Harleys. They are fun as far as they go, but a Triumph will rip their lungs out. So will a Suzuki. And probably everything else. Harleys are actually a whole lot of fun to ride, assuming you don't mind a vibrating bowling ball and want to do the low speed squid thing and make pedestrians jump by dragging hard parts while doing routine turns on city streets.

I was thinking more along the lines of Beethoven's 9th.

I prefer the 7th, but the 9th will do.

Generally speaking, I'm not a big tort guy... but I do make exceptions when the instrument hits me a certain way. I have opted to not post a few pics cuzza the tort. This is the first time I've posted specifically because of the tort! Single ply yet thick, and semi-transparent (which is the primary reason it doesn't work well with most colors IMO).

For Sale - 20th Anniversary Stingray w/East Preamp and more

Thank you, I have to give most of the credit to our drummer, he really nailed the song, made the bass part fit in like a glove!

Bass and drums have to fit perfectly. If they do, all else is mere decoration.

Nice. My friends are Handsome Dick Manitoba’s kid’s godparents. He’s a really nice guy. Very charismatic.

 

[Nocturnal]

Very random, watch out. I'm up to late.

This song randomly shows up in my playlist while I am at work. I am always happy when it does.

He is also Handsome

My favorite song from my favorite album from the Grateful Dead. 1977's Terrapin Station. One of the best songs Ive ever heard in my life. Anyone else in on this?.

It's trippy, I'm in!
Besides, Gerry has darn good taste in guitars. I so want the bass version of that guitar.
Some of the best concerts that I can't actually recall much about were Bay Area Dead concerts in the 1970's. Can't tell you what songs they played, when one song stopped and another started, who I was with, or how I got home - but I sure enjoyed myself.

Raise you one Derek Forbes.

Tough bass player to follow...

Another amazing and underrated bass player is Mik Sweeney that used to be in Classix Nouveau...

Despite their very campy New Romantics look, they were pretty good musicians and a great live band, which I had the fortune of seeing in Copenhagen sometime in the 80's...



Mik Sweeney went on to build fretless basses after CN and is a member of TB...

 

[hillerup]

Naw, like this.

Kick a** version!

Once thing I've always wondered about and never got to ask is: How come your singer never performs in high heels?

 

[hillerup]

Does Ludwig Van ever ask you to turn that down?

He's deaf (Ludwig that is) - So he won't mind...
