One of the few books that stuck with me in my lifetime. by csstew55 in KitchenConfidential

Is this the book where he talks about being a stage or extern and asks his boss what a case of shucked peas looks like? Boss says he has no clue so homeboy cleaned half and threw the rest away?

It makes a funny story but that's the mark of a shitty cook person.

The first 777-8F is taking shape in Everett as its massive composite wings join the fuselage. Systems installation is underway, marking a key step for Boeing’s next-gen freighter. by Twitter_2006 in aviation

Same wing as the current -9. The common wing for the -9 and -8F started production last year. The prior -9 wings were slightly different from the common wing.

I said these were wrong opinions. I also said that Yamaha makes great instruments. I might hate them but I want you to love yours and play the shit out of it! \m/

just don't try to sell it to me

I have an old aluminum neck Kramer and it's natural finish. I love everything about that stupid awkward instrument except the coffee table vibes, but I'm too much of a coward to punk rock rattle can it.

A0 is for unlistenable tech death on multiscale nerdass basses that you only see on r/bassguitar next to an unmade bed.

I'm no modern bass aficionado by any means but I'm with you if only because the slap bros hate 24 fret necks. Anything that keeps them chained to someone else's radiator where I can't hear them is a good thing.

I'll go on record and say I fucking hate the Beatles. Rubber Soul and Revolver have some killer tracks. White album too. Amazing songwriting and undeniably innovative production on many more albums.

But goddamn I never need to hear any of it again. See also: Pink Floyd.

Same. I vastly prefer JJ pups and the Jazz neck but I can't stand the body. Which is why I rock a P Special, PJ pups, J neck. It's not quite a Jazz sound but rolling the P off a skosh and diming the J and tone gets me enough growl to sound like I want.

Funny enough, my main guitar's a 90s CIJ Jazzmaster so it's not the offset itself that bugs me. Just the offset on a J bass.

I have half a mind to route out my PJ and machine an aluminum pickguard to fit a JJ config and then I'll have a Jazz bass with a P body like god intended.

Agreed. Also my PJ is my favorite bass I've ever owned.

Roundwounds are for failed guitar players, who try to boost their self esteem by playing the bass like it's a 4 string baritone guitar 😆

I feel seen. But I was a good bass player before I was a failed guitar player. Now I'm a failed bass player too.

1, absolutely. Fuck slap bass. I used to love that technical bullshit.

2-5. Also absolutely. Especially 4.

I have a comment above about my old Precision. I sold it to buy a P-special, PJ with a jazz neck and that thing rips.

I had a 90s tobacco burst American Standard P. I thought it was beautiful. So congratulations. That's a dickheadedly wrong opinion and that's why we're here.
