This may be hard to believe, but I just sent a set of bass strings to Kira yesterday (she's quite active on a Rickenbacker site I'm a member of). They are southern CA-based; are you familiar with them or did you just do a search for two basses? I've never heard any of her music, but it is rather interesting to see her pop up over here.

I saw Dos when I was 19 and completely lost in life. A big baby. I drove 2 hours to Santa Monica and then all I did was stand there with my thrift store shirt and my poser bowl haircut (the year was 1995) and stare at some beautiful girl in the crowd while K. and M. did their rabbit-hop dance on stage.
I got real bored. No drums. No noise. An intimate performance, two people on bass who loved each other in real life. Kissy-face, self-indulgent shit. I mean, I never heard their albums, so maybe they were good. Not that night, though. Not for me, anyway.
Afterwards, a bunch of people crowded around to kiss their asses. I hung out just long enough to give up on the cute girl and left, completely sober and alone. I don't know how the hell I didn't kill myself back then.
To answer the question posed in the thread: anything with alcohol in it. Nothing lite. Nothing fruit-flavored.
That's it.

Purple is into prog rock so I'm sure he knows his stuff, I was raised on 70's punk and playing in fifties music bands but I'll have you know I went to Berklee School of Music (heavy jazz school) at one point.
And I too know about Dos but I despise Rickenbackers with every fiber of my celestrial being.
I did start a band of five bass players a few years ago with the notion that we would never practice or play anywhere- I forget the name of it.

Not posting for the beer... yes, fuck you, it's a can of PBR and I'm not a hipster, just cheap with no taste and an ambition to get drunk.
The picture is for the metal Thermous Koozie. If you drink beer from a can (and fuck you ahead of time for putting me down), this is a must have. I even read a review on Amazon about a Marine who took it to Iraq. Basically, it keeps your beer nice and cool while you're passed out for an hour-plus and will not let the can fall over in the ocean breeze... For 20 bucks, it beats the shit out of Jesus and your favorite lap dancer...

You could buy a few hipster brewskis for $20 ;)
My favorite beer and trust me, I've tried lots, is called Mill Street Organic. It's a brewery in Toronto, Ontario.

Yuengling Lager is just a plain old beer and i like it that way, a Philly beer and from "America's Oldest Brewery." The Philadelphia Brewing Company has a cool selection as well, a nice mix of seasonals and my other favorite, the Walt Wit.
"Traditional Autumn beer", good dark taste. Depense of the brand. No Heineken!!!

A variation of bock called 'bokbier' is also brewed extensively in the Netherlands and occasionally in Belgium. Most larger Dutch breweries, such as Heineken International, Grolsch, Amstel, Alfa Brouwerij, Brand and Dommelsch, market at least one variety. Most bokbiers tend to be seasonal beers (traditionally autumn, although there are currently also spring, summer and winter boks). They are among the only few specialty beers that existed besides lager for a long time. Microbreweries may prefer to seasonally brew a bokbier, such as the eco-beer biobok, made in autumn by Brouwerij 't IJ in Amsterdam. The consumers' organization PINT holds a bok festival every autumn at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam.
Beautiful first or last name, eh.

@BUKFAN78 I drink mostly Molson Canadian when visiting the in-laws. Isn't it refered to only as "Canadian"?
I'll have to check that out.

That has to be either the worst, or the smartest, excuse for drinking beer ever - patriotism! :)

@PhillyDave Checked it out...seems to be one fine American Amber. And from the oldest brewery in the states. The wikis say such:
On Friday, March 19, 2010, President Obama sent a case of Yuengling to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper along with a case of Molson Canadian to cover a friendly wager on the outcome of the 2010 Winter Olympics ice hockey final.
Probably the only way to get Yuengling Lager in Canada, yes?

Ha! I had no idea. I don't love it so much that I'd smuggle it into Canada but it is good and a fair price. ;)
@PhillyDave Well I'll just have to forgo the smuggling operation and try to get my hands on some when I drive through the states next month.
I had quite a bit of that when I was in Disney World 5 years ago. I'm not the amusement park kind of guy, and we were there for a week, so...
A good drinkable, reliable beer. I liked the label.
Any beer that can make you spend an entire week at an amusement park without going postal is one damn fine brew!
