The last lot of answers I understood, these I don't!

Anyhow, I must have made my last comment the second you shut the last page down....I just want to highlight that I commented about having problems with Typekey, in case anyone else is, once I get a comment in, everything is fab, but to begin with, a nightmare.

Thanks.........................................SB

Wicked answers. I'm still a newbie bass player and a friend told me I needed to get a line 6 pod - any advice? Have a great weekend guys!
And thanks.

Hi SB!
Typekey has settled down now for me - but it's a little like a lady with PMS.
x.x.

This was really unexpected!

I certainly didn't think you guys were ever seriously intending to answer tech stuff. Good to read and surprising! I always (well... almost always ;) enjoy hearing about others' experiences in the gear realm. Here's to the beauty of a simple rig!

KICK ASS @ THE ROXY DAVE AND DAN! ;D

xo

I am liking the frequent blogging:) Very interesting Q and A!

No, I haven't had any typkey,typepad problems- it is just a new system they are using.

Happy weekend DN and all~:)

I've seen Dan tech live for you on 2 coasts, he rocks--so I try to overlook the fact that he's a RED SOX fan.

VIXEN, Line 6 makes some great products. But as far as the Pod goes, it really depends on what kind of sound you're going for. If you want many different choices, I prefer the BOSS GT-6B BASS MULTI EFFECT PROCESSOR over the Line 6. If you just want a good distortion a SansAmp works great. But if you get too crazy with bass, you may as well play guitar.

Dan thank you so much. Have been confused about this and wanting to progress but not sure which direction to take - will go to the music store in town (which is great if you actually know what you want and speak Muzo but not otherwise) and try out the BOSS and compare to the amp. Thanks again for the recommendation, totally appreciated. As for playing guitar instead of bass well once I get past Nirvana and MM I will be up for trying anything lol! I hate not being able to do what I want and do it well, so I need to nail bass first as it's sorta in my blood now :) Like the best date you ever had and can't stop thinking about! Maybe that could be the blisters! x.x.

cool:)nice kitchen knife can we use that backwards haha amplify it perhaps tune it use it...yeah i almost understand the tech stuff we have an electric guitar @ home and a lil fender amp small enough so we don't get the police round cos of the neighbours making a noise complaint...we used to talk tech bout gear on the darkness forum dan hawkins major love is to reminisce on his rig:)a rig is a stallion with one testicle by the way the word jerks me sometimes haha..with spider who eventually toured as lead singer when justin hawkins left the band so you never know where being back up technician guy will take you do you... round the world in 80 days and famous...have you ever had your aura read dave?have an address of this redwood city in california company that came here and i had mine done bout 10 years ago apparently i was all green and orange and red which means cheerful with artistic and healing abilities hey i already knew that but it was nice to have a camera confirm it...they may still be in your neck of the woods at 319 spruce st progen.co 415-367-0369 check it out for your show it may be interesting for you and todd...check out what rainbows lurk above you dave...it's like kirlian photography of the etheric body...let's get a reall goodpic of you..xo0yeah honey

I liked the sarcastic blog answers better, not being a gear head myself this all sounds like charlie brown's teacher to me.

:-p

Yeah, I really don't know what you guys are talking about either. I do play bass but I'm pretty much challenged when it comes to gear so I've just been getting by knowing the basic shit; tuning, changing strings, cables, if I want some help I'll hit up a friend who knows their shit but it is really nice of you guys.

Anyways Dave, I know you're always busy and whatnot but I do have a show recommendation for you.... "True Blood" on HBO... it's now available on On-Demand and you can watch the whole season there but yeah I think you'll like it. If vampires, sex, damaged people, people turning into dogs, and chicks interest you.... this show is for you :p. Good stuff... honestly.

totally off topic and totally corny...but it's a nice encouraging way to start my day!!

I have recently been involved in the horse world..learning to ride and care for them..it's been amazing. I also love to bake...so I have decided to try and start a VERY small home made horse treat business. I started making them for the horses I care for and my friend, who has been involved in horses her entire life has been very convincing in telling me I should try to sell them...well, since I don't have a job at the moment...why not?? Right?
so I am heading to a horse show this morning and have just now finished working the numbers to see what I have spent and how much it costs to produce...

here's where it's relevant...and I'm sure only to me...but I'm gonna bore you with it anyway!! lol

It costs me $0.67 / per lb to produce
and I have spent $67.33 cents on supplies..

67 67

It can only mean good things!!
Morning 67 land!!

Wish me luck!!

Good luck with the horse bakes SweetMelis.........I know a thing or two about horses. I knew one once that would eat egg sandwiches but hated cheap chocolate cake - we knew the food was nasty if the horse wouldn't eat it!

Will this post first time?....................SB

Is it true that it is harder to play the guitar if your fingers are small and fat? Someone told me this, that I would have problems learning the guitar because my fingers were too small and fat, if this is not true it is all THEIR fault I am not a rock star instead of selling broadband.

On the subject of horses, I used to wear about eight strings of pearls to school, and one day before school I went to see this horse and he got the pearls in his mouth, broke the strings and slavered all over them. I still went to school with them on though and got told off. After, People would say... "what happened to your pearls?" I would reply..."oh a horse bit them." Really, the signs of mental instability were there at a very early age. But my point is, if a horse will eat a string of cheap plastic pearls it will eat pretty much anything.

you reminded me i must put up the fairy lights for xmas dave...break a leg doing it!did i hear you say that well honeybunch it's peculiar we hooked up in cyberland while your leg was in a black boot and my son's was in a red one from a sk8 trick i've now been having this intim8 relationship with you for two years since october 06...
..i know you did the peralta thing 4 me thanx!what would i do without a man like you...it comes down to basic instinct sweetness ha i know it was an old sharon stone movie honestly i wear undies a lot of the time whilst being interviewed by detectives...why give them the thrill!back to basic instinct have had horses since i was 10 they love anything that is edible and not poisonous they aren't stupid they are ruled by instinct they can smell a bitch or a dickhead from metres away and will kick them or bite them they can be vicious if they smell nasty and they act upon it unhesitatingly and unflinchingly why i love them ...their honesty and they don't posture or pose or make believe everything is ok if it isn't they rear they buck...i saw a girl on tv who had half her lip taken off for maltreating her horse it had been stabled and cooped up was bored and overly schooled it just let her have it one day...you get that!i am a horse whisperer i tend to foster a placid nature being one myself and yes they like baked treats but they prefer raw foods although my horse ate some wholemeal lavash bread last night;) am sure dave is now mesmerised by all this insightful horsehandling info it can get as tech as guitars but with slightly more personality than an inanimate object guitars don't decide to gallop offstage without you thank god!ha i have artistic hands i use them to do visual rather than audial art why i have to visit dave for the audial treats...bake and make some more pretty puhleeeese dN.xo loveya

I know a guy who actually got to take classical guitar lessons from Andrés Segovia and he said that Andrés had very short, fat, stubby fingers --they looked like cigars.

So, Tiffanybean, I guess that's not the reason you're not a rock star ... '-)

"...not being a gear head myself this all sounds like charlie brown's teacher to me."

LMAO @ Robin... That's EXACTLY what it sounds like when people talk 'gear' around me. How I WISH I understood this stuff; it would make my life so much easier. One day...

I agree w/ everyone that it's really cool of you guys to do this. You never know what you'll see, hear, read, and learn on 6767.

Love to all,
