I bought some delicious Goya brand mexican rice and began to make it. On the side of the box there was a press in tab to pour the rice out…

Not thinking about it I tore open the top of the box and found the rice inside was in a separate envelope.

What might I have thought if I had punched the tab and nothing had come out? Marvel of modern packaging.

In my last blog I mentioned being frugal…well, I heard about these Chinese made basses that are supposedly really nice. For $159 you can get one like this:

It’s solid wood too with a glossy finish on the neck. Most bass players hate the sticky gloss finishes but I love them. I figured I’d give it a shot and see for myself. I’m actually really impressed. I might actually take it to a gig or two The one I got was a P bass copy.

Here’s the theory - you don’t need to spend mucho $ to get great tone. I like the theory especially these days. The site reviews lots of off brand gear and some name brand stuff. I like the blog “5 tips to get better tone without spending a dime.” So if you get the itch to buy some gear go there first and see if it helps
