rock star update time

Equipment:

My bass amp died. it crackles like a bitch and squeals and shrieks even when all the knobs are at zero.

It’s a small pussy-sized 10w amp that gets out-bassed by small guitar amps in get-together practice sessions, but it’s all I’ve got.

I’m told that it’s probably the speaker cone that’s fucked up so I’m going to try the headphone idea, but it’s just sad to be a bass player in an active band without a bass amp to practice with. Le sigh.

Speaking of which, I long for my new bass. The Visa Bass needs to retire from gigging pretty soon- it’s suffered pretty bad wear and tear and has slight neck warp-age and intonation problems. Plus the strings are getting really old and dead.

The Uprisal at L Cube might be the last gig you see The Visa Bass at.

In the mean time, I’m saving for my next acquisition- my first serious bass purchase, a MIA (I think >_>) Squier P/J. It just felt and sounded so fucking right I had to pay the deposit right there and then. I didn’t even need to see the headstock- I’ve tried Fenders that were never as good. And I recently paid another $50 on top, so I’ve paid $100 of the $395 and there’s $295 left to pay before I can take that baby home.

I’m quite desperate. I accept donations. I need a new bass; I’m still playing with a beginner’s starter kit! Does that seem fair to you! ;_; Contribute to the Help-Visa-Bring-His-Bass-Home Fund.

The Band:

Band is going awesome. Everybody’s just getting better and tighter. I can’t say “by the jam” because we never ever jam. We seem to jam roughly once every two gigs.

But yeah we’ve come up with some new songs, and improved significantly on our old ones, so DO come and check us out on 03/03 @ L Cube.

The Organization:

Things are going pretty well! I’ve passed tickets to all bands who’re willing to sell them, and we’re getting queries and ticket sales at quite a healthy rate! We’re definitely going to make a profit; so we only really need to worry about making sure the show kicks FUCKING GOOD ASS.

By the way, we are on the look out for photographers, so if you’re pretty good and wanna photograph bands (and we like your stuff, aha there’s a catch) then we’ll get you in on a media pass!

COME DOWN AND SUPPORT THE REVIVAL OF THE LOCAL SCENE MATEYS!

        that comeback would’ve been been better if you hadn’t used the f word so many times. otherwise, armchair critics ain’t that bad. agree abt the passion thing.

            aiyo..

            maybe your band has better originals. i bet everyone would like to hear just how good they are šŸ™‚

            poserish and act? im not too sure.. we havent been going for drama classes have we? haha. im not too sure about that.

            so what if they cant sing? can YOU sing? well, maybe you can. but we wont know will we? cause you wont even leave a contact šŸ™‚ all you left is “nav”. wonder what that means. haha.

            small teenage boys growing up? werent you growing up too? or maybe you still are. in the sense of your maturity level and thinking. know what i mean??
            okaay, wait. i take that back. you wouldnt know what i meant.
            i dont even know why i bother. but at least you bothered. thanks šŸ™‚

            rockstar? are you one? cause if you were, we would definitely know who you are. whats a band without attitude? dumb musicians playing their songs.
            sad to say we arent exactly dumb. so much for commenting on our attitude šŸ™‚

            own the scene? do you own the scene? i know we dont. cause the scene belongs to the people. not you definitely. so stop trying to sound like we’re taking your turf. maybe your threatened. i wouldnt know. oh well šŸ™‚

            you’ve seen us many times? thats good! means you’ve been supporting us! šŸ™‚ come more often okiee?? šŸ™‚

            yeah maybe people do agree with you. but so what? there are people who agree with us too!

            you have your opinion. we have ours. thanks for letting us know! we really appreciate it šŸ™‚ really.

            ps: work on your english. its not “whole lot of people AGREEES with me on this”
            its “agree” without the “s”. oh yeah, and minus the extra “e”.
            see, thought i could help you out šŸ™‚
