    Wall Street : On the Street and On Facebook: The Homeless Stay Wired

    I saw that same commercial the other day and those computers are only $199. I mean 200 bucks is a decent bit of money but thats really cheap compared to most any other laptop. I think I would manage to break it pretty quickly though. Look into an extended warranty usually they are only like $10...

    Making Instruments

    I've searched dumpsters for a while with no luck. I actually got mine by going into a music store and asking if they had and really fucked up basses I could buy for cheap. I paid $10 for the one I got. Doing that I got a good neck, the tuners and a bridge.
  17. Rise 609

    Making Instruments

    The reason for using a bass neck is that you need to make the neck continue all of the way through the body(either the cookie tin or the cigar box that way you can screw them right together and your instrument will last you alot longer. Go to google and look up cookie tin banjo.

    Making Instruments

    Well im actually using the neck from a bass. I'm plaining/shaving it down to the size of a banjo neck, pulling the frets out of the fingerboard sanding it smooth and leaving it fretless.

    coveralls?

    I wouldnt really wear coveralls any time besides a few really cold days in the dead of winter. Your body movements are definitely restricted and overall I just cant get comfortable with them on when sitting down or laying, they just cant move freely like pants and a jacket.
