Stroopy121

I got the Powerplant JR and it's been pretty solid in my experience with 5 pedals on board. Hartke VXL, SFX MicroThumpinator, Muff Pi, TU2 and MXR Compressor.

Also John Lewis is being replace by Poundland and Debenhams is being replaced by a really fucking big Cash4Gold.

I liked Spidey in Civil War - excited to see him in Homecoming!

Can't be - Michael Cera hasn't kacked it yet and he is DEFINITELY going this year. THIS IS MY YEAR!

Roger Ailes. Gutted I didn't have this piece of shit in my team as the only thing that could make me happier than seeing him die is getting points from it.

Hard but not impossible. Perhaps that allocated bursary money could be going to someone else that hasn't already has access to SAAS funding?

Fucking Tory.

I know one Tory voter. 

Also I don't know what Stroopy looks like. 

I know a few Tory voters. One who is very left in all aspects except that she wants lower inheritance tax because her parents are loaded. Which in my eyes makes her a bit of a fucking arsehole really.

I look like that guy, but cuter.

I'm way cuter than him.

I'd recommend the Zoom R16. Cracking piece of hardware for the money. https://www.zoom-na.com/products/production-recording/multi-track-recorders/zoom-r16-recorder-interface-controller

That guitar is stunning but I do totally agree that gold hardware is the worst.

Jazz bass gone, Danelectro still here.

Bump. Will take £200 for the fender bass. It has a Dr Parts replacement neck which is glorious. it has also had all its stickers removed from the body and headstock (though there are still some on the scratch plate).

No pics, soz.

 

About to re-acquaint myself with my first ever bass guitar (Fender Precision MIM), by buying off the guy I sold to eight years ago. Welcome home, friend.

Need to have a think about perhaps a 'better' bass EQ pedal (any ideas?), because as nice as my amp is it is actually pretty difficult to get a solid sound out of. Plus an EQ pedal is very useful where I have to use someone else's amp or a house amp/stage amp at festivals etc etc. - can just zero the EQ on the amp and know what EQ works for my guitar through the pedal. ALSO it moulds the DI sound before it hits the PA rather than leaving it to chance with the FOH engineer if we haven't taken our own.

I use a preamp pedal for those purposes. Hartke VXL is what I have and it's great for setups where I just need to plug and play into other amps/DI into PA etc.

When is the thread name getting changed again?

Yeah, they started trying that by borrowing all the sound gear from Downstairs after they closed and then refusing to pay for the hire. They're already starting to cut costs here and there after their initial phase of pumping money in to it.

Ace-ic. Getting the fuck outta Aberdeen. Accepted a job in Livingston POLAND and moving to the central belt POLAND.

Is it too late to add an "undecided" option to the poll?

I posted this on Facebook yesterday. It's not exactly how I feel, but pretty close to it and a great article. 
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/mar/14/scottish-independence-referendum-snp-vote-brexit

Things that I hope for this potential referendum:
-People against it stop claiming that the last one was a 'decisive no', because there was 10% in it. 
-They can also stop acting as if nothing has changed since the last result and this is just the SNP wanting to hold a referendum every few years until independence is achieved. Anecdotally, my parents who reluctantly voted no in 2014, both said on the day of the EU referendum result that if there was another Scottish referendum, they'd vote yes this time around because they want to remain part of the EU. This time around we have an unelected Prime Minister who is making plans (what plans? lol...) to leave the EU. Bit of a change in circumstances since 2014. 
-Both sides should stop citing poll numbers to further their cause. By 8am today I had already read an article called "Setback for SNP as Scots reject independence in fresh poll." and another, "Support for independence soars to all-time high." It's almost as if we won't find out for sure what the majority of the country was feeling until the date of the result or something?! Also, polling for the last few big elections has turned out to be bollocks. Remember when Cameron and Miliband were neck and neck and Labour were going to have to do a deal with the SNP to form a majority? And when the UK definitely was not going to vote to leave the EU? And Clinton was going to trounce Trump by about 20%?
-People are able to differentiate independence from the SNP. That was the biggest hurdle for me last time and turned me from a "probably not" to a "heck yes". 
-There's more certainty to what the Scottish government and yes campaign want. Other than coasting on the whole WE LOVE THE EU AND HATE THE TORIES thing, which a number of people in Scotland obviously do not, this time around, they need to have bigger and better arguments in favour of an independent Scotland and also give definitive answers about currency, etc. Don't just Salmond it. 
-In fact NO SALMOND INVOLVEMENT WHATSOEVER would be nice. 

Really like that article. It'll be interesting to see how this thread fills up. There was definitely a tendency last time around for Yes votes to vent their frustrations about the SNP's lack of clarity at No voters, rather than criticizing the campaign for fear of damaging it. I kept trying to remind myself that both "Yes voters" and the "fucking cunts" all want the same thing - the best possible future for Scotland

Looks like May is gonna block a referendum. At least block one with any UK backing, which plays right in to Sturgeon's hands by playing up the "fuck you, Jock" mentality of Westminster. May can't stop an advisory referendum and then a unilateral declaration of independence from Scotland - messy, but an option.

I was yes before and I'm yes now. All that "vow" pish that fucking evaporated, Brexit, etc.

What is MOST frustrating to me right now is this "RESPECT THE REFERENDUM RESULTS" pish. Scotland voted to stay in the EU by 60/40 split. We voted to stay in the UK (with the promise of staying in the EU) with a 55/45 split. A straight-up choice between the UK or the EU is really the only democratic route here. All we'd need is an agreement from the Veto-holding countries to NOT block us from the EU in the event of independence and for the SNP to pick a fucking currency (which is almost definitely gonna be the Euro, which I for one would prefer to the GBP at this point..).

Still Overwatch. I think I have a problem.

Amp, microthumpinator and compressor SOLD.
