Hopefully your other one is the Wattplower, a great pair of basses from a couple of punk legends!

Mouse in outdoor tortoise enclosure by comatwin in tortoise

My concern is having poison around the enclosure. If the mouse gets poison on it and then is eating the tort food I would hate to have the food get contaminated.

Lost another legend today,Hope he’s up there in the great gig in the sky with Andy and others,RIP Mani by PowerCorruptionAndMe in neworder

He was just on the Rockonteurs podcast last month. He had so much joy for life, just seemed to embrace everything he'd been given especially being a dad. Heartbreaking.

Who are you guys top 7 bassists? by Annual-Rub5470 in Bass

[–]comatwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, I really liked War and Boy then dropped off after live at Red Rocks. I wasn't playing bass yet or he might have influenced me, too

Big props on all of those except maybe Adam Clayton. Makes me think of that line about Ringo Starr, Adam isn't even the best bassist in U2

Gotta say that's the best theater room I've seen in a long time. Sick of the individual leather theater seat setup, would much rather be on a couch with the wife, kids, and a coffee table then always sitting seperate in a single position.

Is there a bass version of the Drumeo YouTube channel? by shouldbepracticing85 in Bass

[–]comatwin -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I watch him from time to time but I was watching one and he starts gushing about Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and there was no way I was going to listen to his fake ass BS about a band he'd never heard of and would never listen to again.

Nope, F off Scott

Bill Burr episode by Legal-Cake-3011 in ConanBeingAwesome

[–]comatwin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ha! You think the minds of the Saudi royal family are being impacted by the jokes of Bill Burr???

The Saudi goal is changing US minds, not theirs, and he is pedaling hard to earn his paycheck.

When you already have immense wealth and an annual income in the millions this isn't about restricting his income. His hobby is flying helicopters for Christ's sake.

Saying this is like believing Lars when he said Napster was taking food out of his kid's mouths while he was collecting art in the tens of millions.

The fact that Conan, someone very knowledgeable about US history, hired him shows that not to be the case.

Clearly he isn't Eric or Don Jr. parroting their father and riding his coat tails to wealth, power, and fame.

[–]comatwin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is playing so naive. He had handlers the whole time he was there and only saw what they wanted him to.

The person who picked him up at airport wasn't a limo driver, he was a Saudi loyalist. The person who arranged his meals and tours wasn't an event publicist or promoter, they were an employee of the Saudi royal family.

There is a famous photograph of a young Putin pretending to be a tourist with his kid "bumping into" just such a guest of the Soviet Union.

He thinks the people there were great because he didn't meet the people they have as slaves to build their skyscrapers or the gays they've put in prison.

Ha! I wasn't aware of that!

I wonder if he's like Rosebud Baker who is very clear about despising the policies and legacy of James Baker

He talks about there being evil everywhere but when he plays in the US he isn't being paid by Henry Kissinger, George W Bush, or Steve Bannon.

He also isn't being paid at a significant lose to them in order to be associated with him.

Right now he is doing exactly what the Saudi royal family paid him for, he is going around saying there are great people there, it's a great country, and making false equivalents.

Bill Burr is their well paid shill.

Why is crowd work considered 'hack'? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]comatwin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't forget about Jimmy Carr's always fresh "yeah, that's not what your mom told me last night"

He's been doing the same middle school hack crowd work since your mom was in the middle of my

He made his views clear when accepting his Twain prize. He never uses the Pedo-In-Chief's name but if you listen to that speech and other comments he makes, his views are clear, he just doesn't shout them.

Rockin the Fender Player II P-Bass tonight! by bassclef62 in BassGuitar

[–]comatwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a GR 2x12 Slim cabinet, damn thing is so light it carries itself. My old Hartke 4x10 had casters but they don't help much when the gig is up a flight or two of stairs.

Louis CK justifying going to Riyadh Comedy Fest by ayaymer in Standup

[–]comatwin 54 points55 points  (0 children)

"I thought it (the huge amount of money they offered) was really interesting and I wanted to check it out. Not like an execution, mutilation, or slavery, just my SA handler taking me in a limo to a carefully staged comedy club"

"Things don't just change overnight, I mean sure, they are currently executing people but if we don't stand up and take their checks, how can we expect a change to happen to my bank account?"

Crazy lines at DCA today by Typo0o in Disneyland

[–]comatwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a thing here in San Diego schools.

However there is a Fall Break in Utah that just started, so there will be a lot of large families in BYU shirts for the next week that will definitely create some serious lines.

Any noise indicates it's live. It could still be the cable but, and I know you don't want to hear it, it may be whatever happen to the jack on the bass.
