Really? I've posted in at least seven or eight threads here in the last day. I'm flattered you look out for me though!

GuanYin

Oh, maybe you're not as interesting as I thought then.

Do I cut my nails to start playing guitar again or do I manicure. How important are good nails?

Xavi6

Not important at all if you're using a plec. Once they're short enough so your fingers can press on the strings ok then it's cool.

*sigh*

I've played guitar (and piano and violin) for 20 years

I meant in terms of attractiveness. Are nice manicured nails good?

Eh it'd be the last thing I'd look at on a girl to be honest.

After boobs and ass?

Anyway, in what way am I vague? Noone has ever asked me anything I didn't answer.

Xavi6

Oh PSI you must think I'm so shallow.

First it's smile, then eyes, THEN boobs and ass (and legs).

A guy once told me that if a guy looks into your eyes it means that your chest isn't worth looking at.

Xavi6

Well it seems like there's no pleasing you lot in that case.

If we look, we're pervs. If we don't look then we're insulting you. The mind boggles.

Feck it, I'm just gonna go ahead and look. If it gets me a nasty look or a slap at least I'll have got something out of it.

GuanYin

hehe, I have nothing to look at

I'm currently researching a username change.

a few but nothing cool. I asked DesF for a suggestion earlier in the thread but he ignored me

Xavi6

Yeah he's ignorant like that.

You know you have to be a subscriber to change your name yeah?

A subscriber? To boards.ie?

It didn't seem to matter before.

Maybe I should let the soccer posters name me

Then again, maybe not.

Xavi6

Oh please do!

We can do up a list of ten options then sticky a thread with a poll. Brilliant!

Ah come on. We'll be nice, I promise!

What sort of name you lookin for?

GuanYin

I don't know. What is your suggestion.

Xavi6

Hmmmm I actually hadn't thought of one. It'd have to be obscure anyway, maybe something that signifies oppression too.

have the The Nationals album "The Boxer" now, i'll give it a listen tomorrow.

Went to see them last night, they were decent enough. Have to say, the last 3 gigs I have went to see have being a Heavy Metal festival, Down and Dilenger Escape Plan, so it completely was a different experience! But it was grand show, had 2 guys on brass (i suppose they just tour with them?) who added a nice sound, and had 8 guys in total on stage at times. They gave it loads in fairness to them, even though they sounded and looked jaded after playing Glastonbury the night before.
For a free show for me, I would have paid into seeing them and I'd probably go see them again, but as I said it was a strange concert for me personally!

By the way alan, dont give up on RATM just yet, keep listening!! Kill A Man and Maggies Farm should grow on you from that album, (Maggies Farm is a piece of piss to play on guitar, and sounds great too! Xavi will notice Muse do usually throw in half of it to one of their songs when they play live.....forget which song it is!)

I suggest "Ming the Merciful" for PSIs new name...... :-)

Xavi6

Yeah they throw in 'Maggies Farm' (at the end of 'Map of the Problematique') and 'Township Rebellion' every so often.

gucci

Yeah thats the one!
Its such a cool riff.

Ah gucci, good man, for a second I thought i was on flirt.ie!

Morning all. Im not feelin the may west today, have been in need of a good sleep the last 2-3 days but havent got it, a few pints with the ex last night and I feel like I was out on the lash

Tut Tut, pints with the ex......school boy error!
Worst thing about going to gigs in the "Carling Academy", is the fact that its only really Carling they sell.....man its nasty! My gut is killing me!

Hey gucci, what guitar you got?

I have a hohner country man, my tried and trusted acoustic. And a epiphone les paul replica. Its only ok, the pick-ups are a bit ****ty, but its good enough for me. When I'm big im gonna buy myself something proper like a fender stratocaster or even just a proper les paul. One of my mates has a beautiful custom one he go in europe somewhere, the weight and sound is so different than mine its crazy!

I hope you don't think I'm some sort of ax wielder by saying Maggies Farm is easy to play, I just like RATM music because I find the style and speed suitable to my ability (on alot of the tracks!)

I fecking moved to England and havnt got either with me, didnt think I would really miss them as I was neglecting playing the last while anyways.....I'm itching to get back in action now!

Do you play?

Totally. that email that called it "fizzy piss" was possibly the best description ever.
When 2 cans of it have remained in my fridge for nearly 6 weeks and I live with 3 other people.....says alot!

I believe I made reference to it in my first post of the day! I'm an equal opportunites abuser!

No thats my baby! She'll never leave me! Nah its just standard, was expensive enough as it was without throwin any custom on board!! :pac:

I have a fretless effect on my boss pedal, sounds the same, I do love the sounds of a fretless though!!

Here's the specs of the standard from the Warwick website:

The Corvette Standard
The body of the Corvette Standard consists of two or three pieces of bubinga. With its shape, ergonomics and sound the Corvette Standard satisfies the aspirations of the most demanding of bass players.

The switchable, active MEC 2-way electronics combine with the MEC pickup combination and three controls to provide flexible tone control, whether in the studio or on stage. The highly sensitive dynamic response of the Corvette Standard lets you articulate the most gentle of nuances or slap it for crisp, fat basslines. Additionally, a 4-string passive configuration is available with single coil J/J pickups.



24 Frets
Natural Oil Finish

Do you play?

I do indeed, a committed bedroom player tho' :pac:
Tabs & power chords are my best friend. Dabble a bit in RATM stuff alright, some great simple[ish] riffs. Mostly play Slayer/Sabbath/Priest.
Trying to find some time is the biggest problem, only playing about 2 1/2 years.

ShiverinEskimo

Nails on a chick can be hot if they are used during sex to "spice it up" a bit.

But I'm talking nice, mid-length, manicured nails.

Of course, there are limits to my theory:



Enjoy your breakfast folks.

Lyrics of the day;

"seeking only workmans wages i went looking for a job,
but i get no offers-
just a come on from the whores on 7th avenue,
i do declare there were times that i was so lonesome,
i took some comfort there"

super little song
