That cab in my pic is a 4x15. It has 2 speakers facing each other in the central section. It was my white whale until I managed to snag it off gumtree. I've never seen another one in the wild.

Christ, what a beast! Sounds incredibly heavy, too.

Cool metal bass is only fun in a band. Motown/jamiroquai/vulfpeck sorta stuff is way more fun to play by yourself imo.

Engineering? You mad?

Simple:
- don't clip guitar strings down when you've put a fresh set on.
- instead, clip them about an inch long, being sure to clip diagonally to the string to create a needle point.

BINGO - 6 individual roach skewers.

When applying for a government job would you hint at diversity-hire stuff in your application? trans/minority/disability etc.? Do you think that could be beneficial?

I can't speak for other government departments, but if you're applying to work at the NDIA, definitely. Work a sentence in there along the lines of "my lived experience of *non-heteronormativity* enables me to *address one of the selection criteria in a unique way*".

I would very much like to steal Joe Dart's talent. I imagine it'd be like the Monstars in Space Jam but with a bass instead of a basketball to shove all the stolen power in.

Sittin outside punchin darts & cones and can't hear even a single noise. No cars, no people, no planes just silence. Not sure if I will even be able to cope with city life after lockdown ends holy poo poo I think it has really hit home how much the quiet helps me to be able to tune off.

Having grown up somewhere fairly quiet then moving to Sydney it took me quite a long time to get used to the noise cause the quiet was part of my wind down each night. I moved back to the mountains not that long later and the first couple of nights I was back up here it really blew me away just how quiet it was and now I wouldn't trade it for much.

The noise around me is insane and it’s all inconsiderate cunts doing stupid poo poo at all hours of the day. it’s a big trigger of my anxiety. I’d love to move to the middle of nowhere but my girlfriend wants to be close to friends/society and also being outside of my inner melbourne gay communist bubble would probably be unpleasant

Speaking of getting away from the noise, wondering where I could do a super cheap rear end camping holiday on my own somewhere in SA in the middle of nowhere (I grew up like three middle of nowheres in, so I'm used to that) with a nice beach and little chance of meeting anyone I know. But preferably still with a supermarket. Port Germein is tempting.

I live in an old shop on the corner of a sub-main road, it can be pretty noisy but I am used to it now. Last place was above a shop on Parramatta Rd, which was pretty awful. The noise was one thing, the pollution another. What drove us out was the fact that it loving flooded in heavy rain.
My guess is that if we had stayed there and the rain we had that cyclone Sunday near the start of the year would have had knee-high water in the loungeroom.

Moving to a quiet area is an option, but I work in the city half the time and at different venues any other time, so moving to the mountains always feels a bit like it would drive me mad with travel.

Though I would still love to do it.
Since Melbourne is off the cards for while.

I am the opposite. I was born and raised in the city, and whenever I go to the country, I found the quiet eerie and unsettling. I am a bit of an introvert, so the sound of human activity and walking through places where people are provides the kind of social energy that keeps me going. If I were just by myself in a quiet place, I think I would find it quite isolating and depressing tbh.

I'd be happy enough living out on 20-50 acres well away from all the noise and idiots. Not very practical for schooling and working in the cbd but.

i was in a cul de sac in the burbs and that was pretty quiet.

conversely i was on a main road in dural (big blocks outside sydney) and it was loud as gently caress. we were like 50m from the road but no trees/fence to break up the soundwaves and the roads posted speed was 80. it was also dead flat so you'd get people really winding out their engines and, if you floored it from the turn off the whole way to our house you were easily up around 150km/h

in a flat now at the front of a block on the trainline and i can only sometimes hear the frieght trains at night if theres no noise at all.

the helicopters into the the hospital are pretty loud.

I was working in Dural this week and gently caress me dead for a little out of the way place it has SO MUCH GODDAMN TRAFFIC. I am on New Canterbury Rd and I don't think it's a bad as there half the time.

For real i am semi dreading how things might end up; its been quieter than being on holiday in a country town or way out in the middle of nowhere ; on a main road in the city here too. Curfew sort of sucked but also was nice i guess (i cant imagine it wold have been much fun if you lived with your parents or had horrible room mates though :(.
