I didn't know you played guitar. That's awesome. If you ever wanna talk music theory, you come find me!I had no idea this place had so many musicians. That old guitar thread really surprised me.Magic 8 Ball says outcome probable.Did I tell you I'm learning 'Hurt'? It's actually quite easy other than the combo pick/strum during the verses that I can't quite make sound like I want it to. -
<3I agree with this assessment -
Wow. This place got really fuckin gay while I was gone.edit: I think all my posts in this thread from the original era were turd. Not that I don't like weed/video games.

I just got really nostalgic about kers, and in my nostalgia I pictured him as Phil Hellmuth in the blue jacket/hat. Someone needs to bump that old MFK thread.ajs510, an original sickie that hung out a long time along with Kers and talked about hockey alot. good guy but opionated (aren't we all) over some things and left but is still on the forum with over 19K posts.
I'm not lost.EDIT: some good names have gone down in here. :pouringout40inmemoryoflostsickiesface:

The first time I plugged her in and ran it through my sansamp into my rig it knocked 2 picture frames off my wallI can almost literally hear the *thump* and feel it in my chest just looking at her. -
How are the tension compared to regular flats?Part of the reason I love my 760FMs is because of the tension. When I was learning I played a jazz bass, and always plucked close to the bridge. I liked the feel, but didn't like the loss in depth I'd get. When I switched to the P bass I realized I would need to pluck over the pickup (or slightly next to it with the covers on) and i needed the higher tension to offset that.Playing SIT semiflats right now. Love them. Decided I'll probably coat my fretboard not because I'm concerned about wear, but because I want it to say 'mwah' and a coated board can help achieve that tone.Probably go the Jaco/Boat Epoxy route, but I don't know. Right now, semi's on rosewood with an 'oddly set' action though passives has a pretty good sound.cardwarfare, if you've ever considered semi's, try out a pair of these SITs. I was really surprised how much I liked them and their tone. -
I tore through probably 7 basses in under a year because I couldn't find "the one" that I really connected with and felt "right". I tried everything from Warwicks to Stingrays to various fenders, Ibanez etc. Since I'm not rich, or even financially comfortable, I'd save, then sell them when I didn't like it, then get another that I loved in the store but didn't stand the test of my furious ADD. I had an old POS P-Bass that I liked a lot except for the gross neck warp, so I decided to get an American Stan. P bass, and kind of make it a nod to my old strat that I played in HS. Olympic white, tort pickguard, maple fretboard, post 2008 model, after they made all the upgrades to the American Standard series. A guy on the bass forum I'm on had one of the exact models I was looking for within an hour of me, so I picked it up from him, installed the pickup and bridge covers, tug bar and flatwounds and haven't looked back. I personally can't wait until it gets that naturally weathered look. I love the look, but would never buy a "relic" bc I feel like it's cheating to have someone else weather your instrument just so you can look like you've played it a while. My bass had one ding in it on the lower horn, but that's it. Now it's got some additional marks, and I can feel that the finish on the body is wearing a bit thinner where my forearm rests/sweats when I play. I'll probably pick up other basses along the line (my band is looking into either Fender or Lakland sponsorships after our album is finished) but this one will be my #1. I can't see finding a finer instrument for me.Lets just make this the official instrument discussion spot, since it's a pretty good thread. I am putting a fretless neck on my 1997 Fender Jazz Bass.It is missing some paint and has a sticker that says "Bipolar" beneath the bridge. There are dings, gouges and even a burn mark. I love it like a child... Wouldn't trade it for a brand new Fender Jazz Bass or an old, rare, vintage one. Once upon a time, I was an epic 'collector' of guitars. When I turned 28, it was like a lightswitch got flipped and suddenly, it was less about the collecting of new instruments and more about playing the hell out of them. Sold most all of the 'collection' and kept the few that were attached to my soul. That is all.
I didn't realize how many musicians were around these parts. I guess that's what happens when one doesn't come here for years at a clip. Anyhoo, if anyone is interested in checking out a great bass forum go to talkbass.com. Tons of great info and discussion on everything imaginable.I've always liked those fretless necked basses (sp?), ever since I saw Lisa playing one in Zack Attack on an episode of Saved by the Bell. I haven't played my bass for years because it was in my dad's garage. Looking forward to playing it when I get back from uni, slightly afraid it will be damaged somehow. Anyway, my bass is really unspectacular; it's plain black, some cheap model, 3/4 size because I am a girl with small, weak hands. I know I stuck a sticker of Audrey Hepburn on it, but I'm hoping I didn't stick any others on there. I have my dad's steel string acoustic guitar and when I was in my punky phase I stuck tons of stickers on it, which I then came to hate. Tried to rip them all off a few months back but ended up with a lot of sticky residue and one sticker that won't budge. Cleaning up that mess is a project for another day.Yeah, I'm not a 'collector', and I am not even good at playing guitar or bass. I hope to get back into bass though, I'd like to learn some Talking Heads songs and pretend to be Tina Weymouth. -
I never knew you played bass. Awesome. Always cool to meet fellow bassists. I use LaBella 760FMs on my '08 American P-Bass. I originally wanted the thicker gauge "Jamerson" flats, but they were out of stock and I needed them quickly, so I went down a gauge to the 760FMs. Flats take some time getting used to, but I prefer the higher tension of bigass flats. I set my action a bit higher than normal as well, and installed a foam mute under the bridge cover of my Precision to give it that classic tight thump. I'm so in love with this bass it's pathetic.Some pics of "Kelly 2.0"Here's the neck I'm getting from a guy off ebay
It was defretted and epoxied- no coating. I'll probably use a slotting saw to reslot the old fret ways and refill them with a white epoxy so I have visible fret markers. Chink machine heads, but I'll probably keep them anyway. Also have to get used to playing with flat wounds now ... 
But, whatever. Fretless. Yay.

Always lead with your best quarities.This is where she stopped reading. -
Hi there!I'm Jeff. You may remember me as the asian guy that sometimes has his account used by a funnier non-asian guy who started this thread. I enjoy having chicks with accents that aren't middle eastern or asian (too close to home) tell me what to do.Why don't you ask me, nosy parker?Strat and I met right here in this thread, which I consider my own personal pool of eligible bachelors. A few months later he and I met in person. Then we met in person again, and another time after that. Almost a year later I did my year abroad at his college. Then we broke up last year, and that's the deal with that. All broked up. So, Yorke, are you coming to England any time soon? .......... -
Trickier than it seems...

LOL @ "meaningful".I work for a storage company because it's easy and provides me enough money to fund my music stuff. Sadly, I have a better chance at making money in music than I do of "moving up" in my job (small company, I started at what's considered an upper management position)Speaking of good ol' krissy.... planetsuzy dot org. If you're cool with downloading instead of streaming, everything you'll ever need is there. You are all welcome.All you people with your lives full of meaningful relationships and promising careers make me sick.I haven't played much "real" poker in quite a while because I was boycotting the only legal poker room within an hour drive. Play in a homegame that's more an excuse for the married fellas to get out of the house for a night but doubt I'll keep it up as it has devolved into little more than an extended bong session for about half the players and I don't smoke the reefer. On the upside, I did my bi-annual inspection of the card room that earned my ire and things seem to be running much, much better. I might start playing more frequently since I get every Friday off. So I got that going for me, which is nice.Still single and lusting after sweet krissy (and a plethora of other porn actresses/internet "models").Good talk, Russ. -
Glad at least a few people posted here since I last checked in.I've been doing well. It seems not many people actually play poker anymore. I havent touched a card or a chip in probably 2 years. I'm busy as well with a full-time job and playing bass for 2 different bands. I still love Kelly Clarkson, and still have slanty eyes.I don't know if I can put the house back in order, but it is good to see some old friends still here...As for life, I finally stopped working for the man and started my own company in 2007. It has been long hours and a ton of work, but I have loved every minute of it. It has kept me away from forums and poker, although I try to play when I can. I still haven't made it out to play in a WSOP event, but maybe someday....How are all my Hideout brethren? -
wow. ironically enough, my biggest reason for not fancying asian girls is that they generally are built like 2x4s. apparently i am mistaken.please tell me this girl does porn, and that you can provide her name as well as references to some of her workmmmmm..... asian.

G Force was a great movie. Not quite as good as Bolt, but still good.Srsly.A seperate issue.I have a guinea pig from my kids. I hate this guinea pig. So as soon as G-Force comes out I plan on taking this stupid guinea pig to see the movie then taunt him with his inablity to slide down ropes and parachute into harms way. How close do I need to be to the screen since the 3D glasses won't fit the stupid guinea pigs head?Or should I just wait for blu-ray? -
I'm surprised they didn't void my account due to inactivity. I checked my recent posts and I don't think even Turd has been posting on this name in years.Hola stranger -
I declared this thread dead 2-3 years ago and everyone ignored me too.Chrozzo declared this thread dead last week but I ignored him. -
Eh, whatever. I've put on weight too. It happens when you hit that "nesting" stage in the relationship.
Maybe a little bit. -
Herro.

Goddamned right. Still love her. Hasn't changed a bit.

Bump. 2010 version.
What have I missed?Is Ron back yet?Is this still the cool place to hang out?Does anyone follow Negreanu anymore?Do people still play poker?Is beans still drunk?Is LG still a British but somehow lovable cunt?Did Adam come back to the sick thread?Does the hideout still dislike me?Am I still funny?Is e-gay funny again?Is it OK that I still love Serious Cat?Is Lori still hot?Does Andi still have big cans in Iraq?Is Renae still riding the invisi-bike?Has JJJ been around?Has RonRenolds and LongLiveYorke continued their upward climb toward hilarity?What's Wang been up to?Are Dutch and BigD still pretentious?Is it OK if I smoke in here?Answers to any/all of these questions would be very much appreciated. -

I don't know what percentage of you people smoke, but if you do, be thankful you don't live in NY. $10 a pack now on Long Island, and up to $14 a pack in Manhattan. I need a second job just to be able to afford my 1/2 a pack a day habit.
