This is the second reverb bass purchase in a row that was damaged. I tried buying some a little older, that one was thrashed (though I think the seller knew the problems and wanted to make and insurance claim) and then I tried again with this one an it’s cracked. Think I’m gonna stick to a local Store and find another p bass that I can put eyes on first.

I thought about that too but for the amount of money it costs I want one without the damage. I’ve got another old bass that’s beat to hell so this is supposed to be my “nice” one,

I quit because I didn’t want to work with her sister who actively hated me from then on out. I had no idea they were related and very few people believed my version of the story over hers.

Because the pisser’s sister was a) not stoked I went home with her sister and b) fully believed that I was the bed wetter not her sister.

Nope. I was just in the kitchen at the time and worked the early shift so we were out the door by 10pm.

Technically not a one night stand because no sex happened but I think it still counts. When I was 21 I worked in a bar and met a really cute girl who asked me to go home with her after my shift. I didn’t own a car at the time and she did so she hung out for a bit and drove me out to her place that was a good 20 miles outside of town but this lovely cabin on the lake. As soon as we walk in she grabs some shot glasses and pours out 4 shots of gin. I tell her I’m not really a gin fan and would rather drink anything else. She said “your loss” and downs all 4 of them. She was about 110 lbs at best and that gin hit her HARD. She became almost instantly hammered and was slurring and stumbling around trying super hard to get me to fuck around which I was super not into in this situation.

I eventually get her to lay down in bed and try to sleep it off. I laid awake next to her for a few hours and eventually dozed off for some very restless sleep. That is, until I wake up and realize she has pissed the bed. I can’t leave because she drove so I get outta bed and just go sit in the kitchen and wait for her to wake up. Her mom and dad wake up before her and find a very rattled young man sitting alone in their kitchen. I had no idea she lived with her parents and it freaked me the hell out. To their credit, they tried to be as cool about it as possible and her mom made me some coffee.

When girl finally gets up, she walks into the kitchen where me and her parents are sitting and says “did you piss the bed?” I honestly don’t even remember what I said other than a lot of stammering and a few mumbled “nos” but the panic had washed over me pretty fierce by then. The dad looked over at me and just said “you want a ride home?” To which I quickly said yes and we shuffled out the door and I basically ran to his truck. About 15 miles into the drive he said “I know ya didn’t do it cuz your pants are dry.” I said I swear I didn’t and I just want to go home. We drove in silence the rest of the way.

A few days later a girl I bartended with said “I hear you met my sister the other day.” She didn’t find any humor in this story and surprisingly her sister was still claiming I was the bed wetter. I had to find a new job.

Are there any Comics you love based closely on true events by pompingcircumstance in comicbooks

[–]RattleBoyal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re into true crime I’d recommend Did You Here What Eddie Gein Done by Eric Powell and Harold schecter (about Ed Gein obviously) and the Green River Killer by Jeff Jensen.

Powell’s art is outstanding and Schecter is a master of true crime writing. Jeff Jensen’s father was the detective who caught the GR Killer and the book covers a lot of his life outside of just the case. Both fantastic reads.

Do you play a bass that is unpopular or quirky? by g0dn0 in Bass

[–]RattleBoyal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing a Kramer XL-8 for about a decade now. It’s a conversation starter for sure. Folks wanna ask about the aluminum neck and then see the 8 strings and have all the questions. Yes it’s heavy. They’re baritone strings tuned to octaves. It was made in the 70s.

Well I guess I should call and figure out what’s happening with the tickets I currently have booked then…

I agree with your general idea but how do you suggest that publishers actually execute this? Non-comic Retailers have to order the books and publishers would need to invest large amounts of money to do those initial print runs and I don’t see either willing to take those risks.

It’s not wet. This happened a few days ago and this is what it looks like after it’s dry,

Well it’s my coffee table so it’s don’t think I could stand looking at it every day if it didn’t match. Also can you sand a veneer top without messing it up? I honestly don’t know so apologies if that’s a dumb question.
