Bought my first ever guitar today.. one of the cheapest Squier strats out there, but it's more than enough for me. Fingertips are nearly bleeding, but mother of god is it fun! Must practice more more and more!
The standard Squiers are good guitars these days, I spent most of last year gigging a Squier Jazz Bass and it did a great job, although I did put a better bridge on it, better pickups, bigger tone capacitor and added a series/parallel switch, but it was a sound bass before I did all that I just needed more bottom end for my reggae band.
I have the cheapest squier strat and amp combo, and well, it's not miracle. It does work, but the sound isn't that good. But I like that thing, as it's cheap and great material for experiments. I hacked a chinese copy of floyd rose into it just for lulz, and am thinking of doing something with pickups by myself, then maybe changing a capacitor and making some sound effects. I also have a shitty daphon wah pedal, which is well, shit. It would be easier to buy a decent guitar with good effects, but I like building something by myself. I'm also broke, and I can't play, but screwing around is fun too. Good luck with it!
My last purchase attached. Spotted the whole box at supermarket and just couldn't resist. And some sausage yay!
I've now got two of these. It was never intended for bass guitar but it's the best bass effect Boss ever made. I'm planning to mod the one I bought today to bypass its filter section and output a pure square wave for feeding into my outboard filters.
I seriously cannot fathom how those things work. I had to buy a new cellphone this week (do people still use that word?) and went straight for a Sony Ericsson W100. It makes calls and plays mp3s with a good audio. That's all I've ever wanted from a mobile. The rest I can use my PC for.
I have a computer at my house and a computer at work. I also have a notebook which can easily be transported from one place to another. I can do anything I want anywhere I want. Maybe I can't create spreadsheets while on the bus to work, but then again, who on earth would like to work even before getting to work?
if you had a smartphone, you could have created a wifi hotspot and connected said netbook to tinternetz. netbooks don't have GPS and such helpful devices. great for tracking progress when cycling, walking, stalking. not to mention the built in cameras too. it's a bit awkward holding a netbook up to take a picture.
