Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 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.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Computers I know precisely dick about, can one attain a real good laptop in this price range? No. You've already got a fairly head kicking sound system for your bass don't you? I'd say get the fretless.
algrim Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Spend it on buying your own personal entertainment system. If all else fails, go on a road trip.
1234-5678 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 Roulette or buying some completely pointless painting or sculpture off of Ebay.
Guest Vitamin X Posted August 25, 2004 Report Posted August 25, 2004 I need money for my car insurance, send it to me.
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Send it to me and I'll make sure never to mention Metallica or Shadows Fall ever again.
Art Sandusky Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 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.
Guest El Satanico Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Rims that spin. Gangster. yous a cracka ass cracka ainchu...it's gangsta foo
Guest syncer55 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Get the music equipment. Will match your system
Scroby Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 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?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Computers I know precisely dick about, can one attain a real good laptop in this price range? No. You've already got a fairly head kicking sound system for your bass don't you? I'd say get the fretless. 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 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 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 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 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 Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 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 Posted August 28, 2004 Report Posted August 28, 2004 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.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Screw your fancy recording crap. Just do everything in one take, "Louie Louie" style, with one mic hanging over the room.
Guest Paul H. Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 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 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Inc, if it makes you feel better, that's what my band is doing.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 So what did you do with your money, Agent?
Nevermortal Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 I'm hoping he blew it on cocaine.
Guest Shutterspeed Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 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 Posted November 17, 2004 Report Posted November 17, 2004 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.
