while browsing forum 1031 (jon should know which forum this is)… i came across this topic

topic title: “husband’s underexposure”
My husband convinced me that if he spent almost $1500 on a Canon XTi and lenses that he’d take professional quality photos.

The problem is he refuses to take the camera out of fully automatic mode and he’s taking all these crappy photos. It’d probably help if he’d put down his beer and TV remote and use more than one hand on the camera and pay attention to what he’s doing. He insists that for $1500 the camera should be able to take award winning photos all by itself. He just keep telling me that “The XTi underexposes! The XTI underexposes!” Personally, I just think he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I think he’d be better off going back to his disposable 35mm cameras

LOL…

Well I tried to write this post yesterday but I hit reload and lost it.. grumble. So on Wednesday night I changed my strings. The actual process itself was simple enough (first time changing my bass strings) and the only thing is I may have cut the E string a little short so it doesnt wind enough around the tuning peg for my liking.

Note the price isn’t too cheap.. granted its the first strings I’ve bought for my bass, and it’s been a year. But it was something like $34.99 + tax. The box totes them as handmade.. i wonder what part of it is actually handmade.

Anyhow.. onto the sound:

It should be no surprise since the strings are what vibrate to make the sound.. but I was quite amazed how much the sound changed with the new strings. They sound VERY raw in comparison. The sound is a lot nicer.. but after two evenings of playing with them.. have decided they really aren’t that “tone” I’m looking for, for worship. On the “bright” side.. (hohoho..) they give my sound a lot more character which is good for overdriving for songs like l’arc and glay.

They’re really smooth, but still very detailed.. I think the detail is a regular product of the EMG-Hz pickups in the ESP. This truly has become a metal/rock bass. Get a pretty good slap sound out of it too, much nicer than the old strings.

I also changed my order with my friend from the cheap J-Bass to a cheap P-Bass.. but no ETA on when..

let me try this again, if i cant figure it out still then i am truely a n00b

Tis true, board been quiet lately…
lemme loud it up.
heheheh
We got all the needed instruments like they do too!!….j/k…no way…haha…
