Never!

Besides, I wanted to make the Britney point on the page + get in with the anti-fafblog faction as it forms.

Inspired by Sasha Frere-Jones...

Let us pause to contemplate the volumes of reckless pedantry that could follow such a pronouncement.

Stop it. All of you stop it. This has all gone too far.

You know, I think its time we all admit that the unfogged commenting community is overrated. The pacing is lousy. Some threads are to quick to follow, and others just drag on for no reason. Face it, really only petty people who have no idea what is really good in the world would waste their time here.

A legitimate and just TASTE can neither be begotton, made, conceiv'd or produc'd, without the antecedent Labour and Pains of CRITICISM.

A rookie mistake. I didn't think anyone would actually take the Britney bait. I am chastised.

I miss the innocent, carefree days of Jessica Biel's arse and arguments related thereunto.

My friends: Blade Runner Jessica Biel's arse is a terrible, terrible movie arse.

Be contrary all you like, Labs, but you know it's worth maxing out the credit card for one of these.

13 has a good point.

I do not miss the arguments about JB's ass one bit. It's so much more fun to watch other people fight.

I can't believe it's a bolt-on neck. For $4500? Man. And those pickups could be nicer, too.

You could replace the rhinestones with diamonds.

I kind of know what stras is saying. The consensus that "things are hopeless, anger is useless" that tends to form in politics threads often scans to me as having an "anger: soooooo unfunny & uncool" subtext. (Though obviously plenty of the most enthusiastic prophesies of doom are entirely in earnest).

Just to comment on other threads here, the whole thing about unfogged being like Seinfeld to people who don't read here seems accurate. If I didn't comment, I'd probably find this place numbingly dull. Like Seinfeld, which I don't watch. I never thought Seinfeld was uninteresting to the people who participated in or watched it.

Which Meters did you get? The older stuff is just like you describe, but they get pretty damn funky later on. At least the Rhino Best Of seems to indicate that.

re: 18

Bolt-on necks are fine. There are people who claim that set-necks and through-necks are over-rated.

It's still a shitload of money for a bass, though.
