Nice:tup: Been looking at getting one of those in purple, mind letting me know how it plays and sounds?

Yeah will do 👍

Your birthday and you didn't go for a candy-apple red or sunburst Strat?

Never heard of Westfield, is it something which holds quality or is it amongst many of those cheap Fender rip-offs with very low quality? I hope it isn't the latter

Major win on the sunburst colour though 👍

Hahah

Westfield are seen as being a pretty good fairly cheap bass, they are supposed to be around £169, but I found that one at a shop in Scotland for £89. They have a fairly good reputation, but for someone who treasures guitar more than bass at the moment I'm not too fussed really. It should be okay though, hopefully

But yeah the colour is awesome, was going to get it black but preferred the sunburst colour. Makes it look more expensive!

 

[Jondot]

I'll give it a week.....

If it makes you any less confident, the guy who fitted it had a prosthetic hand. I kid you not. God knows how he managed it...

Real men don't use 9s...

Real men are comfortable enough to use 9's that came in a pink package.

Uh, yeah! 💡

I'm new to playing the guitar and I asked my friend what he suggested for replacement strings and he recommended Ernie Ball Super Slinkys.

 

[DustDriver]

Preorder, but that's still buying, and paying on delivery.

Don't worry about it. I used 8s when I first started, 10s or 11s now. You get more body to the tone but it is tougher to bend.

He used 13s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC71fFdCsbk

 

[PureAwesomeness]

Got home from work today to find that my wife had bought one of these...

Now all she needs is a Wii to play it on!

She has one, she just hasn't told you yet.

I bet

13s as an e-string?

I play 12s as a B-string. Going 13s on the e just kills all the fun of bending I would imagine. I think I currently have D'Addario 9s on my Strat. Think my next set will be some GHS Boomers with a 10 on the e-string.

 

[Dave A]

I bought some clothes earlier today for the trip to Prague next week.
So I bought these...



I also bought this book for the flight there and back.

And the a couple of CD's I'm taking over for my friend. I aready have a copy the Preal Jam album for myself, good album imo.

Wacom Bamboo Tablet

Thought it would be helpful with my photography course and all. Plus I've wanted one for a while anyway.

 

[Diego440]

Got me three new t-shirts yesterday:



Plus new frames for my glasses. I just need to get the formula on them now.

 

[Sureboss]

A very, very impressive game.

 

[Anghammarad]

13s as an e-string?

Yes indeed. He did tune down a bit though.

 

[CyborgGT]

A pack of 15-ohm resistors and a 220 micro-farad/35v capacitor to replace a couple bad parts in my car's Automatic Transmission Control Unit.

Went on a bit of an old-game shopping spree:

Couldn't find the GotY Edition of ES3, so the normal one will have to work for now.

MGS2 Substance was the Essentials version. I would've loved the original, but it's pretty rare for PS2 (for some reason I refuse to buy it for Xbox despite seeing it in every pawn shop in town). I'm still on the hunt for MGS: VR Missions; I haven't gotten around to shopping for games online yet. And I'm finally getting into the CoD series!

 

[Revolution.]

That last one is a 320gb 7200rpm notebook drive for my Macbook Pro.

 

[Joey D]

Dragon Age Origin: Digital Delux Edition off of Steam. I've been waiting for this game ever since I heard about it ages and ages ago. I hope it lives up to the hype.

 

[GaryyC]

Thats been causing quite a few problems on my 13 macbook pro (high temperatures constantly, low battery life) compared to leopard. Just giving you the heads up before you install, although a lot of installs from others have been fine

I have it running on my 15" MBP as well, runs like a charm, and it appears to be faster than Leopard.

 

[GaryyC]

sighhh i guess i do have rotten luck . but i do believe that 13 inches are the ones that do get affected the most around the net

 

[Daniel]

It's 1GB that i can add to my 512MB so all together i now have 1.512GB (don't laugh just because you have a billion Terabyte RAM, i can't afford it

I can finally play Crossfire well now!

 

[Tornado]

The recent drama behind MIRA 2 being officially canceled (and less-recent drama of Falcoon being fired and/or quitting) caused me to see what the big deal was about. The game is okay, I suppose, but nothing great. And it really doesn't even pretend to be a KoF game, which is rather annoying.

 

[nk4e]

Tornado, have you tried CVS2?

 

[Tornado]

CvS2 is my favorite fighting game ever. Period. Its, like, better than Super Turbo and SamSho II combined.
I do horrible things to people with K-Groove Geese/R2 Haohmaru/Cammy.

Well, I didn't really buy it. It was free with a renewal of my contract with AT&T.

Huh? Where?

Huh? Where?

Going to see 'Them Crooked Vultures' play at the Hammersmith Apollo on the 18th.

Linky - http://themcrookedvultures.com/tour/

As far as I know all the tickets are sold out for the UK dates, but e-bay may be worth a look.

I got a free .mp3 of "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" for ordering the tickets as well, the TCV album is due for release on the 16th of this month as well (already pre-ordered my copy).

I am almost tempted to post my recent purchases, in this topic, but I buy too much stuff and am too lazy to photo stuff before I open it or put it away....
