winter holiday wishlists... for anything

Haha at the marriage comment.

I occasionally wish I was married... but then the guy would not approve of me spending hours at a computer hitting on people and making disturbing journal entries.

I got: razorblades, a bird jar, chocolate, chai, giftcards for the Bay, and foot lotion stuff. Also booze and junk food.

No dates with Jens Ryden though. :/

P.S. Marksveld is teh cute.
 
heh, well she wasn't wearing while I was at the computer. And that pic is actually false advertising. there are no panties with the outfit. it is an open crotch body stocking.
 
Lingerie kicks so much ass, and that picture puts me in the mood for a Christmas Choke.

NicodemiX, looking at Fender Jazz basses is like looking at any other bass: if it feels good do it. Good luck with a used one, the 1978 Jazz that I want costs $3,000 in good condition. :D But like, yeah and stuff, the Fender Jazz Standards are pretty good, and are around $400 US. The American Series are much better, but now cost almost $1,000 (when I bought my American Standard P it was only $600 and the standards were $300, there was a huge difference for not much cash, oh well).

Loot: leather jacket, LotR RotK DVD gift set, Simpsons season 4 DVD, a harmonica, a knife, some binoculars, some lego thing, some candy, some -35 degree socks, Nabokov's Pale Fire, Kitchenaid mixer thingy, and some other stuff.
 
even still $400 US is a bit of money, and I was just wanting something to bang on, so I'm going to look at the Squier standards too. I'd prefer a Fender but if there isn't a dramatic drop in quality I might as well save myself $200 (Squier Standard J-Basses are about $220 new)
 
If you don't want to pay $400 just make sure you don't play the Fender standard right after playing the Squier standard. :p

Seriously though that Squier is okay, I played one once and quickly put it down, but had just finished on a Geddy Lee Jazz so that's probably why. :loco: Check out some Ibanez basses too, their dirt cheap instruments are still of good quality, and of course the Soundgear basses were always underpriced as far as I'm concerned. Washburn used to make nice cheap basses, not sure if they still do but worth a shot.
 
Any pawnshops near you? I have friends that find all kinds of steals on a regular basis at those places.

Oh yeah go here, to my knowledge nobody sells cheaper. http://www.bassnw.com/ These dudes are also incredibly cool.
 
it will be my intention to look for used basses first because I'm sure that I can get a better deal that way and I don't care about cosmetic defects such as scratches and dings. I don't know of any pawnshops, but there are a few guitar dealers around that buy and sell used guitars... so I'll check around first.
 
I love old Fender basses, they gots lots of soul, but I'd rather take it up the butt than pay $20,000 for this 1960 Jazz:

I would pay the $2,000 pricetag on this 1972 Jazz, if I had that much cash to just toss around:

By the way I was checking eGay for you, no good deals. Fenders are too popular methinks.
