The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[Ancient Astronaught]

I need a major life change...... maybe I should to move to Washington so I can start filling in band spots for badass bands that lose members.....

I can think of three amazing fucking bands that currently are "on hiatus" Due to key players being unavailable. About to be 4.

I had this stoned commie idea about getting a sort of collective pool of musicians together to be able to fill in on each others bands in case of injury, geographical issues, or to make touring a posiblity for people who cant afford to take off for a month whenever.

But hell yeah man, if you are going drastic, this probably isn't a bad place to run to.

If AW is no more, then why do they still practice?

I've had similar thoughts!!!! With so much band incest in alot of scenes it makes alot of sense!!! Get on it bro!!!!

Well it hasn't hit drastic levels yet but its never bad to have back up plans. It's a toss up between Portland and Seattle, been to Portland have not been been to seattle.

[D.o.S.]

You're looking at the wrong Portland dude.

They don't seem to like my kind north of here, hence the desire to move west.

Plus I'm not big on lobster / sea food.....

[D.o.S.]

our doom is better and I fucking hate seafood.

[D.o.S.]

I kid I kid.




I don't really hate seafood.

Name a Portland Maine band better than Yob?

In the essence of full discretion, yes I'm aware Yob is technically a "Eugene, Oregon" band but come on, the State of Oregon and city of Portland are considered one and the same to the outside world.

[D.o.S.]

Ocean.

That's not fair though I love Yob.

Set of 4 HM2s for Nails

[D.o.S.]

*obligatory "THEYRE NOT POWERVIOLENCE" Screed*

[new05002]

Thanks

Gotta build them up, and then send them to Godcity for final tuning then they get sent out to the band.

Would one of those fancy jazzmaster bridges fix it?

Nah, its isn't that, its the long length of string that goes from the bridge to the tailpiece. It always resonates really funky and tends to be a little noisy. It really isn't that bad I guess, but I'm just used to LP style bridges.

Fuck strap locks. Just go to the hardware store and spent 10 cents on two washers big enough to hold your strap on. I have done this with every guitar I have had for the last 15 years and I haven't had one fail me yet. Spend the rest of the money you would have wasted on strap locks on something cool and useful like a Hustler and a patch cable.

this is a great idea i never thought about...the only down side is you have to keep the strap on that guitar...i usually just do the Grolsch beer rubber washers; they are bastards to put on sometimes depening on the strap button, but once their on they are pretty damn tight...plus...Drink Beer...

Straps are only about 7 - 10 bucks so its still saving me money to put them on each guitar. Oddly enough, I first did this on my Iceman. I got it as a graduation present. It works, you guys gotta fold the strap behind the guitar when you put it in the case. Here is what they look like on my Tele:

I need a major life change...... maybe I should to move to Georgia so I can start filling in band spots for badass bands that lose members.....

Fixed

Typically I just use Snapchat, although I find the available running time to be excessive.

On another note, I went to the practice space yesterday to intonate the Tele with the new Warmoth neck and realized that my Soldano sounds ike absolute shit with Sheffield speakers. The Atlas I got off of Matt has 4 Sheffields from an 5150 and two ET65s. I need to change them out something fierce. Anyone wanna buy a quad of 16 ohm Sheffields on the cheap?

Peavey TVX 4x12 bass cab... worth it for half a Benjamin? Don't really neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it, but...

Well, it took a month but...



Think I'm just gonna go ahead and strip the rest of the tolex off and stain it...
