Today's million dollar question

Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

Today's million dollar question

Unread post by i like tictacs » Sun Jan 25, 2004 7:40 pm

To sell all my paintball crap (about 4 grand worth) and get either a Warwick fretless bass (undecided as of yet) and a new amp, or a Modulus Flea 4 bass. I've come to the conclusion that paintball is a sideshow, that will never go anywhere, I've spent way too much money on it, and it is full of punkasses and wiggers (at least where I live). Unfortunatley, I am neither. The tournament scene is full of pricks and I'm sick of spending so much f-ing money.

Discuss.

edit: probably not the best forum to ask on, but regardless...

Well, if you don't enjoy it, sell your stuff and get something you will enjoy (namely a Warwick bass).

Get a Modulus and if you have 4 grand, a mod 4 flea bass is 2300, so grab up a bass head, then save some more cash and buy a sick cabinet. You can get a real nice head for 1700 bucks, that is if all your gear is worth 4 grand.

Oh it is. I have an Eclipse Eblade Autococker, (the real deal), Angel LCD, and two other backups, plus more other crap that I can't even count. Two 400 dollar tanks and hundreds of dollars of accessories. I could get 3500 easily. 4000 If i wait for a good buyer. No question.

Another thing, I have tinnitus (jesus christ...) so i don't need to rumble the whole house with sound or the loudest amp i can get. if i do get around to playing in a band I would..but for now, I'd just keep the extra money.

Yeah it blows hard. And paintball is loud. It aggravates the shit out of the ringing. So that's another reason I might get rid of it. It's rediculous, i love music, but It's difficult to appreciate it. :(
