What should I blow my money on?

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Right, through some careful budgeting, I'll have my hands on around a thousand bucks I'm going to blow on something by the end of September.

 

I'm torn between a laptop, musical equipment, or a stereo for the truck.

 

Computers I know precisely dick about, can one attain a real good laptop in this price range?

 

Musical equipment-wise, I'd either be getting a 2 18" subwoofer cabinet or a fretless six string Bass.

 

Car stereo..I have no idea. Probably something modest but fairly loud, and a new cd player.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Fretless? Joining a funk band?

[Guest Fook]

Hookers and booze.

[The Mandarin 0]

Vegas.

 

Or cake mix.

No.

 

You've already got a fairly head kicking sound system for your bass don't you? I'd say get the fretless.

Spend it on buying your own personal entertainment system. If all else fails, go on a road trip.

[JJMc 0]

Truck stereo. Road trip sounds good, too.

Roulette or buying some completely pointless painting or sculpture off of Ebay.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I need money for my car insurance, send it to me.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Send it to me and I'll make sure never to mention Metallica or Shadows Fall ever again.

A single hand of blackjack.

You could get an absolutely kick-ass stereo system for $1000, especially if you buy shit off of Ebay and just have someone install it for you.

Gangster.

yous a cracka ass cracka ainchu...it's gangsta foo

[Guest syncer55]

Get the music equipment. Will match your system

I'd go for big ass tv! Unless you already have one of those, I'd say laptop or truck stero. A little bit off topic, what happen to your Dr.Doom stuff?

No.

Yeah, it's already ruthless, I'm just going for gratuitous. 1,000 watts pushing 2 15"s, 2 8"s, and a horn at 2 Ohms. Thing is loud and CLEAR. The Addition would be a huge subwoofer cabinet that would spill bowels. Especially if I crossover on my preamp..oh god. It will raze villages then.

 

The fretless is still sounding nice though. I'm half tempted to gamble a few hundred of it, see if I can get closer to something custom made. I'll end up losing and being pissed, though.

 

I was half-hoping for that decent laptop, though. Oh well. I'll still have to price things.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Truck stereo. Road trip sounds good, too.

I'd road trip it in a HEARTBEAT if that didn't mean compromising my source of income, which is pretty good at the moment.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Actually, if you look at pricewatch.com you can see some fairly decent laptop comps in the $1k range. Also lists contact info for the companies and shipping etc.

 

You looking for a roaming pro tools type lab or desktop replacement.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

The fuck does that mean?

 

I want something I can record with. So I guess that's the former. Also, I'm going to pack it full of drum tracks and shit, so I can just play whereever. Plug it in, hook it up to my rig's other input, good to go. This is why I want the subwoofer extension cab, though. Make those synth bass drops reeeeeally kick hard.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Yeah that's basically what Pro Tools is for, studio on your computer. It's all the rage in this digital age of music. Don't know much about the program operation itself, but I've heard it can cost an arm and an ass to get. I think you need to buy some hardware with it to.

 

ProTools.

[Nevermortal 0]

They made St. Anger with protools.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Screw your fancy recording crap. Just do everything in one take, "Louie Louie" style, with one mic hanging over the room.

[Guest Paul H.]

her face...

 

P.s.Laptops suck if you're action-packed type of guy like me,you'll end up fucking up the screen...2x...in 3 years.

[Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0]

Inc, if it makes you feel better, that's what my band is doing.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

So what did you do with your money, Agent?

[Nevermortal 0]

I'm hoping he blew it on cocaine.

[Guest Shutterspeed]

I would've taken it down to the track, rigged the race and bet double or nothing. I'd've repeated until I was too drunk to walk.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

It's sitting in the bank laughing at me.

 

I can have my dream bass built for about 1500 bucks, I've figured. It all depends on if I want to pull the trigger. I have a knack of blowing money and then suddenly needing some very badly though, so I'll probably wait until I get my tax check before making a gratuitous purchase like that one.
