Thats right! I just ordered a bass body from Warmoth. Its solid Wenge, which is a dark chocolate, real grainy African wood. Its a beast, but from everyone I've talked to in the guitar building industry, wenge sounds awesome, with a lot of growl, which is very tasty. Im still up in the air about pickups, so any bass gurus out there feel free to shout out. I may go with Bartolinis, which is whats on my current bass, but I think Id rather go away from that to have a distinct sound. Like I read in a recording magazine, "Its better to sound new than good." Ill start posting pictures as I get the parts in and assembled. Im pretty excited, since I really dont have an exciting life... lol. I will be a level 2 builder with a bass of slaying +3. 07-27-2006 08:47 PM
Just got back from watching Lady in the Water. I really enjoyed the flick. A lot of coverage was negative, which I don't understand. There was a great mix of comedy, suspense, drama and action. I put this guy right in the middle of Night's releases. Sixth Sense and Signs are tough to beat, and I thought this was better than Unbreakable and The Village, both of which I also enjoyed. I give it 3 thumbs up...  0 Comments 07-27-2006 01:51 PM
Well, after several years after receiving my shodan, I finally started teaching. I was struggling between teaching the system (Okinawan Shorei Kempo) I was promoted in, or taking several other styles that I trained in, including Ninpo Taijutsu, Jujutsu, along with whatever I was able to soak up at seminars, and adding components that I found particularly useful. Tradition is a very strong bond in the martial arts and whenever you step away from that tradition you create ripples. But I guess that has always been my way. My way or what the hell am I doing. So, I brought in those new concepts, changed (gasp!) several training methodologies to impart onto my students. I have 4 guys training with me now, and they're all going to be awesome martial artists. 0 Comments |
