So we know ah trashed my bass cab, which is good n bad.<\/p>\n
Yestahday ah went out to Emeryville to Ex’pressions College for Digital Arts<\/a> to do a free live recording w. my new band, Wee the Band<\/a> last nite. It was webcast n recorded by some students n we gawt goodies ta promote w. – everyone wins. <\/p>\n Howevah, my bass was not werkin. Ahd played it tha nite before, same as always. This is my cheapo 4-string, featured in most of my solo-pics on myspace. Ah love this bass, picked up fer an even hundred bux off a student of my old teachers, complete w. gig bag, strap, cord, n stand. It plays a lil rough, n doesn’t sing like a bird, but man ah love ta beat tha crap outta it. N while a lil shaky, it has been thar fer me – tha only repair ahve needed in 7 years was when ah dropped it n broke a piece of plastic off tha top of it, which cost 50 bux to fix. And some input jacks, which is normal.<\/p>\n Tha problem is one ahm nawt familiar w., n ah cant place tha problem. It just emits loud hum, independant of tha volume knob. Tha show was saved, one of tha students had a bass in her car (that looked, altho did nawt play, almost exactly like mine), so it went on, n went pretty well. Ahm werkin on gittin some of tha videos uploaded, etc. tonite.<\/p>\n This sucks tho, cuz ah love my bass, AND b\/c ah need ta buy a new bass cab. Also, ahd planned on givin my baby a checkup at tha geetar docktah anyway, but was postponin that until ahftah my amplification problem was ovah, n ah had some time ta save up fer a real tune-up: new pickups, new bridge, pickguard, cleanin, maybe even some fretboard reshapin. You know, drop some cash but have a geetar that would still be useful in 10 years (Even tho what that will cost could easily buy me a much nicer bass, used, or even new). <\/p>\n Ah hafta git it fixed, n mite as well upgrade it now so it doesn’t hafta gae undah tha knife again anytime soon. Ahm just bummed.<\/p>\n Please nuthin else ah need ta use break on me soon?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So we know ah trashed my bass cab, which is good n bad.
