I'd be first in line to get a guit or bass (even if they're not great, I want to mod them), but overseas shipping + import taxes are way too high for big packages :( :( :( ...

The sucks :(

I gave this girl a really good price on a hollowbody bass of mine (75 dollars_, and she keeps telling me what day she can check it out, but then ended up having to cancel. This has been going on for like a month.

So I put it in my parent's antique shop for twice that. ;)

uh, which bass is that?
feck, shipping would be around 120 dollars, though.... according to ebay auctions and stuff.

put a fuzz probe up my ass.

It's an old hollowbody japanese bass that needs a new nut. But yeah, it isn't worth what you'd pay for it after shipping. Atleast IMO. I don't know what the market is like in italy.

still waiting on this fucking hm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, the euro-dollar rate is quite convenient nowadays, that's a plus... I'll keep you updated when I'll have some spare money to "invest", but I can't promise nothing... would you mind pming me some pics, just to get a better idea of the thing?
The market here isn't that great, actually... pretty high prices for everything. That's why I'm kinda tempted :D.

I think I have a pic of it somewhere on my comp

Here's a pic.



Yes that is duct tape fret markers on the even frets, the nut is cracked, so playing hard makes the strings pop out, so I put a capo on for playing live and everything moved up a fret, so those helped me remember.

I took them off a few weeks ago.

FUCKING IDIOTS. the hm wasnt even shipped ouside us but stupid people at the post office only said that it was supposed to go to canda. it just came back to the guy who sold it to me and he's just gonna resend it/

motherfucking post offices. i mean, could you BE any dumber?

Sucks

he's sending it today, just replied to my pm...

well anyways, im not gonna be able to play it for another 2 weeks cause i'm not gonna be alone at home. (i have this policy, noise shoegaze whatever's loud is only when no ones at home, cause every 2 seconds its 'turn it down'

Yeah, it sucks having to have your amp on 1 all the time doesn't it?

I want to get an epiphone valve jr. for late night playing

^ i dislike the valve jrs theyre okay quiet but it sucks that thye break up so damn fast.

I liked the OD on the one I played in a Store. I just turned it up and played Mekon's Where Were You? and it was great.

Although an Orange Tiny Terror would be sweet.

yep, tiny terrors own, even albini uses them

I've got a Roland Cube30, they go for around 200$ used (that's how I paid for mine, though I've seen them at 225 on craigslist). Nice little amp that works well with headphones and doesn't sound too loud - but can, according to reviews on Harmony-Central. They've got some effects included, which are mostly bleh, as you can't toy around with them much but for the money, this amp rocks my boat so far.

I've seen a used tiny terror on sale recently at 700$, not sure how much they are at list price though.

Yeah but they are like 500 dollas. :(

I'm sure there is a cheaper low-wattage 15 watt tube amp.

I'd like to get a Fender Champ sometime. Those are pretty cool.

^ yep, not you have the same problem as me, theres no good 15 watt practise amps over the price of 500 bucks

I want an electro-harmonix freedom amp but they are now discontinued.
