For summer he has a garish aloha shirt -- that's as opposed to a subtle aloha shirt -- and a little surfboard. Amazingly, the chew-toy surfboard I sent for turned out to be not only the perfect size, but perfectly color-coordinated with the shirt, although the online store gave me no choice in which color they sent.
He also has a Valentine's Day outfit, one for Mardi Gras, and of course the Thanksgiving turkey tail. I need to think of something for July 4th. And Hogmanay.

I finally purchased a grinder for my smoke. Should help it go further.

It was a bit flighty to drop $25+tax on this gizmo, but it'll pay for itself in no time. I should have gotten one of these years ago. I read once that you lose some obscene amount of THC breaking buds down with your fingers. so there's that, too.

Two boxes of finger monsters from Archie McPhee (with an eye towards Halloween hand-outs).

I just lucked into a copy of the bass amp that my junkie drummer sold for dope money before he ODed and died a year ago! This make and model is very hard to find, precisely because it isn't beloved or sought after by anyone. I've never played another amp, though, that so perfectly produced the particular shitty tone I favor, and the one I bought last year in the immediate aftermath certainly wasn't cutting it.

And will the Schismatics rise again? That's the objective, yes. Trouble is, we're still trying to recruit a permanent replacement drummer. The two guys we tried last year just did not work out at all, and the old drummer from the Revelevens whom I was hoping to lure into the fold decided to get himself thrown into jail instead. We also had a girl from Northern Virginia express interest, but she backed out once she realized just how long the drive was going to be for band practice. Now we're talking to a guy who used to be one of the doormen/bouncers at the Ottobar, but we haven't been able to make all three of our schedules line up yet. So for now, think of it as the corpse lying on the operating table with its empty chest cavity cracked open, hooked up to that heart/lung machine that Boris Karloff uses in The Man They Could Not Hang. |

What sort of amp is it? Is it expensive? I'm looking at bass amps, and I need one cheap. If you're angling to buy my unsatisfactory amp, you're sadly about 48 hours too late. I traded it in on Saturday night to buy a speaker cabinet just like the one that Nick also sold for dope money before he ODed and died a year ago. But to answer your direct questions, the new rig is a Crate BX-200 head driving a Carvin 2x15" speaker cabinet; the one it replaced was a 350 watt Hartke Systems head driving some shitty no-name 1x15" cabinet with an even shittier piezoelectric tweeter horn built in. Both are 90's-vintage amps with profoundly unfashionable characteristics. A decent used copy of either head (you're much more likely to find the Hartke) will probably run you somewhere between $100 and $200 these days, but then you'd need to find a cabinet. There's an entire universe of those, of course. Anyway, although I'm no longer in a position to sell you anything, I'll be happy to offer you shopping advice if you want it. |

So you're going for a solid-state, flatulent-robot bass sound? This is pretty close to what I'm after: The guitar and the bass there kind of bleed into each other, but if you listen closely you'll hear the bass drop out at about 0:47, then come back in again at about 0:59. It's not an exact match, because that guy played a Jazz Bass whereas I have a Telecaster, but as I said, it's pretty close. I can't afford a tube amp with enough power to produce that much overdrive naturally, but fortunately the gain circuit on the BX-200 was designed by a lunatic who saw no reason why bass players shouldn't have access to as much distortion as guitarists. |

Right now I'm just gathering info, it will probably be a while before I'm actually ready to buy. Thanks for the offer of advice, I will probably take you up on that within the next several months. |

What sort of amp is it? Is it expensive? I'm looking at bass amps, and I need one cheap. I flew out to KY on Tuesday (had to be sure to beat the rush before the next gubment shutdown), and I walked into my living room to find an amp set that wasn't there when I was last here in May 2018, snuggled up close to my towers of book boxes. I'm assuming it's Jeff's, and I can't tell without looking at it closer if it's a bass amp or not (I know his performance bass amp was sold to a friend of a friend, so this might be his practice bass amp). Still, it's more than a slight jog from here to you, so for now I'm seeing just how much crap I can pile around it before it becomes obscured from sight. (And I'm still trying to get rid of his full drum set. Even my cousin, who likes to beat the old skins, doesn't want to come out and get it. Don't even get me started on his Wall of Synths.) |

Yes, I still have an eye out for Halloween items, even in frickin' February. When I saw this guy, I just had to have him. It's pretty obvious there's not much to him, and I shouldn't have spent what I did, but he's truly creepy-looking to me.
