The Outpost Cafe / I'm away for a couple days
« on: March 20, 2008, 09:35:39 AM »

 So, I'm on my way out for a short road trip to scenic Sequim (S'kwim) Washington, that's out on the Olympic Pennisula for all you geography buffs. The Nasty Habits have a nice two night stint in a nice place (no chicken wire!) called The Oasis. We've never played there, it should be an interesting trip,
here's our flyer for the show
 

My Black and Purple '77's 'Birds are making the trip this time, see you guys!  ;D

The Bass Zone / Wireless systems
« on: March 06, 2008, 10:46:31 AM »

Hey All,

 I rather suddenly find myself needing a new wireless for onstage use, my old unit, an AKG is cutting out and I'm never happy to use something I don't trust in a "live" situation. So is anybody regularly using a wireless that they're liking? Got some recommendations for a new set up? Any brands I should avoid?

Thanks

The Outpost Cafe / Where do you work?
« on: March 05, 2008, 12:28:02 AM »

 Okay, I fondly remember a thread quite some time back in DP? in which we all said what we did for a living..... There's lots of familiar names here, but also plenty of great folks that I wouldn't mind knowing just a little better.
 So what do you do for a living? What puts the bread on your table........and gets you a new Gibson Bass every now and then?  Like it, Hate it? Got a pic to share?
Here's where I work :



 My job for those of you that don't know is: as one of three managers at Seattle Lighting's largest showroom just south of Seattle. And tho I make it a point to "antagonize them in small ways almost everyday, its really a nice place to work, as this pic shows.   

Cheers

The Outpost Cafe / Life's embarassing moments.........
« on: February 27, 2008, 10:28:28 AM »

 Life has it's embarassing moments........
This past weekend I had to call a plumber to fix the on/off valve and pipe on the toilet in my master bath room. The valve was starting to drip and the pipe had split after I had finished replacing all the interior components of the toilet itself. So after I'd called the plumber, I realized that there was quite a lot of "girlie stuff" all over my bedroom and the bathroom, so I did some cleaning and got everything  put away well before the plumber arrived..........Or so I thought!
 The poor guy gets here and I show him the offending toilet.....he gets his stuff and turns off the main water outside the house, I sit down to watch some TV and don't give it a second thought as he gets started.........that is until about 20minutes go by and I realize that I've forgotten to remove two urrmmmm...shall we say *toys* ::) that are shaped like certain pieces of human male anatomy and a bottle of lubricant that are on a shelf right in front of the toilet were this poor guy is working!!!!
There was NO WAY he could have missed them! I couldn't do anything............
It was very difficult not to bust out out laughing when I had to sign off the receipt........Just one of life's embarassing moments......
Got something to share?

 I don't think I've ever posted this anywhere, its a video of the band set against our studio recording, so things aren't completely sync'd, but its not bad. I used my Green '76 for the recording, in the vid I'm playing my Black '77.....yeah, that one George  ;D

Soo.....

 I recently changed my white '89 'Bird over to all CHROME hardware (yes, in defiance to you Uwe!)
Its pretty much back together and to give it a new look I'm wanting a new pickgaurd for it.
So I'd enjoy everyone's thoughts, links to sellers, websites whatever.
Thanks guys.
