I've heard! But I'd have to play one myself, before I trust a Squier. I know that it's mostly just branding, but I feel weird about Squiers.

Also, did anyone else know that Troy Sanders got banned a while back?

Screw Sebastian Coe, screw the IOC, screw Danny Boyle, screw The Mayor of London, screw David Cameron, screw everything to do with the London Olympics. It's a terrible hypocrisy and a stain on the nation of my birth.
The opening ceremony is just the tip of the crass, bloated, worthless celebration of contrived mediocracy which will blossom into a full-fat insult to the entire concept of fair competition and international co-operation. Who cares how you treat women/ gays/ political activists? Who cares how the wealth of your nation is divided? Who cares who dies at whose hands? WE GOTZ SPONSERZ TO PLEEZ!!
I cannot suitably convey my anger or disappointment at the UK.
I hope this entire facade crashes and burns.

Right? What a lot of shit. I wish we did a fucking radical ceremony that insulted everyone and fucking put some countries with bad human rights records to rights. Instead we got the same old bs.


I really like the olympic ideal of amateur atheletes fostering cooperation between nations in pure competition, but it's been so perverted over the years.

i don't own a squier, but i've played some of the VM and CV stuff. (not the new offsets though.) you'd be surprised. the stuff squier's putting out now is pretty much equal to the MIM fenders. see if you can try out one of the offsets somewhere. i'm sure you'll dig it, if everything i've been reading is true. the only thing holding you back is your own ego. :)*

and he got banned? woah. doesn't surprise me that much tho.

Troy's a DICK...

Those Squires are really cool... I played most of them the other day... I love the neck on the Mascis Squire... It was flat and wide-ish and smooth like a baby's satin booty...

Did you get the PHASE MODULATOR from OCTAVIA yet???

Seriously, give a couple Squiers a shot. I was shocked at how good my Squier VM Jag bass played. And I played it against several Fenders at the same time.

And ILF is so much better off now that that festering boil on our ass is gone.

So, I'm hoping it's just the wiring in the extension cord I was using, but I just spent ten minutes getting enough of an electric shock from my guitar that my muscles would contract in my hand.

It was proportional to the guitar's output volume, which makes me feel like there's some kind of feedback going on, which might mean my amp got fucked up in the move.

Be careful, don't fry yourself.
