  1. Is this something new Eric? We knew nothing of this when we played the Kewadin Casino in St. Ignace a couple of times about 8 years ago. Maybe our booking agent we had at the time took care of it. Either way it was a great gig!
  2. Love this! Hilarious! I may have to learn that on my uke.
  3. I liked it. I agree with plangent that the drums (mainly the snair) was a bit too dry. The singer has a great voice and if she could have dubbed in a harmony above her vocal in the chorus that would have made quite an impact for me.
  4. Does it suck? Actually no, I liked it. That bass sounds really nice. The only thing I can point out is that there were a couple of fast runs near the end that lost the mood for me but the long notes with that great "mwah" tone brought me back in. Nice work!
  5. Shoot, Taylor Swift has made a career of singing her diary - minus the autotune.
  6. I am actually with you on that one, Jeremy. For one, I have absolutely no woodworking or electronic skills - something I proved amply mid-nineties when I "threw away" a year in tech school, failing all tech classes and aceing all the language / history / general education classes :grin: The things I mentioned would have cost almost no money but if it's not something you're prepared to do the I would just sell it off and get that Squier you mentioned. I've tried a couple very nice fretless models that were not that expensive.
  7. Since you have nothing to lose why not try pimping your bass. Why not? :idk If it goes bad you can try one of the other things or get that Squier. Get a radiused sanding block, remove the nut and lightly sand the fingerboard smooth. Then glue the nut back on. Put some dots in. Geoff's idea sounds pretty easy so give it a try. As far as the wiring, if you're good with a soldering iron find a schematic and give it a go. Otherwise get a tech to help you out. You'll learn lots working on your bass and you'll get a lot of satisfaction when it turns out.
  8. I knew of them, Hunter, did. I didn't know two of them did. Good ol' Soupy. The only guy to pie-in-the-face Sinatra and live to tell. White fang and Black Tooth ruled!
