Well if were ever in florida or your ever in Canada/ Detroit area, we'll have to get in touch and hook something up.

We have a Michigan band coming down here tomorrow night we're playing with called we are the union. Are you referring to the flaming tsunamis?

yeah we should hopefully get some going this summer, we plan on having a bunch of new songs done by mid-July. thatd be awsome and such a great time!!! I'll let ya know when we have some shows booked =D

quote

My picking is pretty sloppy too, which is why i play with my fingers now all the time, i can do that a lot cleaner and its a little easier. But i love picking, i just haven't cleaned it up too much yet. That other song is sick, i love how you guys do punk breakdowns, its so bad ass. You guys are sick hahaha seriously i like what you guys are doing.

We have a myspace just no recordings posted yet, my guitarist said he's gonna post em soon so ill send ya the link when we have em up.

peace

quote

haha no problem, i really think you guys are sick. Oh i forgot to tell you that you're a sick bassist, the bass line on snitches get stitches is awesome. If you guys get to come to new york im defiantly going to see, hopefully ill be able to drive this summer. Tell me when you guys get your demo all packaged and stuff cuz i would like to somehow get it.

I went to a studio with my band a few weeks ago and they had some pretty awesome equipment to use (the recording came out like shit) anyways one of the cabs they had was a mesa 212 and it was awesome! it had a pretty good low end and it was so punchy, i loved it. I just remembered that cuz u have a mesa 212. If only i had the cash hahaha.
Keep it up dude. laterr

hey bro hows it going?

i saw your UROTM, its friggin amazing man and the song on your profile is awesome! you're bass tone is sick. I've had a bunch of friends listen to the song on here and they think its awesome cant wait till you put more up. You guys are sick, when you tour you should definatly come to long island

talk to ya later

quote

Right on. I'm in the studio on the 29th but will record my bass using my SWR's DI and later Ampeg SVX. That was, the guitar man can put his amp in the vocal booth, the drummer can have the main room, and I can share it with him DI. We can all play together, having 100% isolated tracks, since the guitar's in the iso booth and my bass is DI. Not only will that save a lot of time, it'll really help the energy of the track because we're playing together.

quote

You see, I really love my 212/115 sound, but the cabs I'm using have quirks - the 115 doesn't have enough power handling and blows nothing but air when I hit a low B at high volumes, and the 212 has a non-adjustable/defeatable tweeter always on full with a low crossover of 3.5kHz. It's really hissy and noisy and makes distortion sound quite harsh. The Mesa not only has a tweeter volume, you can adjust the crossover... and that's huge. I'm guessing I'll love 4kHz.

I'm not a big fan of 10's really - yes they're punchy but I find their tonal response to be quite 'narrow' - but that's pretty much how you define punchy. A bullet will get deeper into a wall than a wrecking ball would, but the wrecking ball leaves a bigger mark. Being in a band with one guitar, I'm more concerned about being a wrecking ball (with 12's and 15's) and covering up more sonic space than being a bullet (12's and 10's) and punching through.

quote

I'm really considering buying a Mesa/Boogie Powerhouse 212. I'll run it mono-bridge for now with my SM-900. I'll get a Big Ben later. What say you? What do you think of the cab?

quote

sounds awesome man! I checked out your bands myspace and from what i heard you guys are pretty sick, i want to hear those recordings when your done haha. Congrats on your gear dude sounds awesome, the only new stuff i bought is a boss odb-3 overdrive pedal, i'm not a big overdrive guy but i put it on dry and i get a little punch but nothing huge, i got a long list of stuff for christmas hah. If you do get to come to long island i would love to see that! Good luck with your recording =] peace.

Fender_punk wrote on Oct 24th, 2008 at 12:48am : Probably my old band i was in in highschool. GNF? anyways, yeah were all pretty tight in aburg. I'll roll through there now sometimes to visit my parents and i don't recognize a soul. It's strange. And to add to the insaneness that we both sorta know each other, The girl I live with went to highschool with you and played drums to "dani california" in your talent show. Fucking weird, sir.

I'm from LaSalle, so I have a natural grudge against Aburg. xD
I spent alot of time there when me and Abi were dating and I was always like,
"lets... go somewhere else." Haha.

Haha yeah. Amanda.
She also played drums with us when we played Makedamnsure and Misery Business. She was always a safe bet. :]

quote

I went to your bands MySpace.
Then to your MySpace.
And saw you were from Aburg.

And I went on a limb because it seems like everyone in Aburg seems to know eachother. xD

But yeah, she's my ex-girlfriend. You can probably find me on here ranting about the logistics of our breakup in some threads. xD

quote

This is gonna be really random.
Do you know Abi Bradwell?

quote

damn man thats expensive stuff i wish i had that kind of money for gear, oh the things i would buy haha. I love NYC, i love when my parents take me there, last time i went i went into Sam Ash and bought my fender active jazz =]. Yea NYC is amazing i would not mind living there at all.

quote

woahh sick bass dude! i really want one hahah, i'm gonna set my jazz basses up with Badass II bridges and my aerodyne with some quarter pounders also.

I just read your thread about your possible new rig, can you tell me how it sounds when you get it because im pretty sure im gannna sel my backline 600 and look at other options for a nice punk tone. thanks

later bro =]

quote

Fender_punk wrote on Sep 18th, 2008 at 10:45pm : Well I played guitar in a band for 5 years and I started a new band in which I play bass. So I get to start over again buying shit which is really fun for me. I collected some really nice guitar stuff and now I'm onto bass. I picked up a Squier VM jazz and threw a quarter pounder into it and now i'm looking for a better amp. How's that aerodyne jazz? those things look badass Oh yeah, and if your still looking for a bass amp, I have one for sale. Keep it real man.
