This one?

Love the splicing with actual science to try and give it a shred of credibility

I don't know much about bass, but I would think a good amp be even more important for that instrument!

I'd always kind of wanted to get a better guitar at some point, and when I had the money to, you'd think I would have, but it never came to fruition. Kept spending money on cars instead and the strat copy was still doing what I wanted it to. That is, until very recently when my mother forced this upon me as a very cool birthday present!!! American Standard Strat in Olympic White, with a maple fretboard. It plays beautifully and whilst I feel and hear a significant difference in quality, I'm surprised that it doesn't sound *amazingly* better than my strat copy; probably testament to my theory about making crap instruments sound good. However, I really think I need a decent amp to do the real strat justice.

I've been pretty low fi with my guitar playing Leroy. I got a strat copy when I was 12 and have been playing it ever since. My theory was that a good guitarist could make a crappy guitar sound good and if I could get my strat copy to emulate my favorite songs, then it would be a reflection of my ability. It taught me to play guitar with an emphasis on finger pressure and picking technique and to find ways around the design and built faults of the guitar to make it just work. I'm not a skilled shredder or soloist, but I pride myself on mimicking a sound and getting the tone on point! Keeping with that, I've never had more than my Fender practice amp - it's cheap and nasty in its sound, but it is totally unforgiving of mistakes because it will squeakily play anything you play. Not a warm tone at all. Again, I figured if I could make this amp sound okay, well... I have a few pedals I bought from Aldi for $30 each. They sound surprisingly good. And the reason why: someone on the internet cracked them open and found the electrical circuit is the same as $100+ BOSS pedals, so they are copies from the same factory and produce identical sound. Markly blue steel strings - swear by these; haven't broken a high E since.

I know of someone who's been frauding the shit out of that. Had a 250k income when they signed up for it years ago and had been maintaining the premiums ever since in spite of no longer earning that amount for years, then when they "couldn't work anymore", suddenly 20k a month free money.

I think the better you know how to play an instrument, the more frequently you play it too. I remember as a teenager learning guitar and playing maybe once a week. It felt like a bit of a chore trying to learn. I was into learning guitar but I couldn't play songs as well as I can these days, so it was more a learning experience than it was therapeutic. In contrast, in my early 20s I was playing nearly every night because it was excellent stress relief just to zone out and, whilst you never stop learning, I could at least play more songs. As they say it's never too late to learn the piano, so I hope you do find time pick up the bass again one day I think instruments give you such an unreal dimension to your favourite songs by being able to play them.

Section isn't frequented enough to split up the instruments yet, but what do you play and post pics of setups

f**k off Mohsen

Shoulda bought when I first told you to There are more wealthy Chinese than there are poor, middle class and wealthy Australians. International capitalism is going to own us something chronic, if it isn't already.

Who'd have thought baby formula would be more lucrative than the international drug trade And what happened to breastfeeding, or are Asians lactose intolerant to that too? 88E would have yielded you 500% in 3 months jus sayin

It makes sense taking it back to China but they were bringing in. Thank f**k for this too http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/other-industries/treasurer-scott-morrison-blocks-the-sale-of-s-kidman-and-co-to-a-chinese-company/news-story/0662f97d8d7692366aff8f331f0b0242 Beef is getting unbearably expensive

Surprisingly yes I figured they were holidaying and couldn't live without their baby formula, or they brought it as samples to find more...who knows. But it's the latest trend out of China lol

For as long as the Chinese continue to snap them up they can On that note, big lol coming back through customs and 90% of those in the declaration line have suitcases full of A2 baby formula
