I looked up the one meatpimp was talking about and it's says it's for small businesses, and is clearly for a rack system, why would you need something like that for personal use? Also the TuRD Camry is the best Camry

Anyone else here play guitar? I mentioned awhile back that I finally got one of my dream guitars, an actual real Gibson Les Paul Jr.....I didn't have an amp yet, and a local musician friend of mine GAVE me his old Peavy tube amp and this thing is ridiculous, with my guitar and this amp cranked up it sounds like impending doom with a spot on Black Sabbath tone to it. Needless to say the cat is not happy about it

Cage posted:Peavys good. Got an old ultra 120 that I've had since I was 16, so 19 years now. Pretty crazy, its louder than I'd ever need and haven't even plugged in in a long time. Really should sell it I suppose. Don't sell it, just buy an attenuator for it, that way you can get the tubes nice and hot to get that sweet tone without blasting your eardrums out. I just ordered this one today https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YBV87CB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it needs an effects loop to work, but if you don't have a loop there are other types of attenuators and variacs you can use to achieve the same thing. Boaz MacPhereson posted:I've got a super base model Marshall MG that gets plenty loud for me. Something like their CODE series might be fun to play with but I just don't see myself dropping the cash on that. I've been trying to play more lately as I'm super out of practice. Should have been doing it for the whole quarantine, but oh well. I'm definitely going to try to play more in the coming year. Sweet Warlock dude, put Seymour Duncans in it  [e] That Marshall is my dream amp, that and a Fender Twin Reverb. Do you have an attenuator on it?

Thumposaurus posted:I've got that same amp! Funny you mention using the amp as a head because from what I've been reading online people are saying it's better used that way with a cab because apparently the speaker in it is crappy.....Might have to look into that if I can find a good cab for cheap but I have no idea on the specs, what kind of speakers it can push and all that. Love the V, that's another one of my dream guitars, wish I had the disposable income to start a collection tetrapyloctomy posted:Yeah, though I generally stick to acoustic nowadays. My favorite is my Leo Kottke 12 String, but I've been playing this one a lot recently: Oh wow, I've never played a steel guitar before that thing is cool as hell I bet it's worth a mint, most old guitars like that are. Keep it in the family tho and pass it down to your kids, guitars are great heirlooms. Applebees Appetizer fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Dec 1, 2020 |

tetrapyloctomy posted:I sort of wonder if my kid is going to end up a southpaw, in which case he's either going to have to learn to play backwards or restring something.  Holy crap. Reminds me of a friend of mine (another musician) that has a crazy guitar collection to the point he has to sneak any new one he buys past his wife or she gets severely pissed Thing that sucks about guitars is the good ones Are Not Cheap or I'd probably have 20 by now everdave posted:They were called power brakes in my heyday. Orange made a really good one haven’t seen one in years. I am all fender but I keep my Korean LP knock off for when things call for it. Eddie Van Halen started it by accidentally a plugging in a European Marshall set at 220 into a standard 120 outlet. He noticed it sounded amazing at low volume when the domestic amps had to be blistering loud to get the tone he liked. So he tried a few light dimmer switches on his domestic amp and fried those, then went to a hardware store and asked if they had any heavy duty light dimmer switches......And was introduced to Variacs and the rest is history. The Brown Sound was created at that moment, and nobody could figure out how the hell he did it for years until he finally fessed up. At first he told people he increased the voltage and as a result lots of people fried their amps

Previa_fun posted:I don't play guitar but I like to hit poo poo with sticks and here are my toys: That's awesome. I'm a drummer first and foremost (see Keith Moon avatar) but my house (2 bedroom) is too small to keep a drum set. I had a really nice Slingerland acoustic set for awhile set up in my son's room but it took up half his room and was too loud obviously. Then I had an electric set that had a smaller profile but it still took up quite a bit of room. I was hoping my son would take an interest, but he couldn't care less and it was unfair to him to have it in his room. I was thinking he'd get into it and we could jam and stuff, but he just wasn't into it unfortunately. That's the one reason I'd like to have a bigger house with a garage, so I could have a proper drum set with a bass and guitar and some amps for jamming. I miss being in a band and just jamming out

Maybe I'll bring that up to the urologist and then with her we can focus on these super fun 2.5mm cyst/"calcification as evidence of recent damage to the vascular structure" combo my ultrasound turned up Yep, for me it was the penis camera, then an endoscopy and colonoscopy, and eventually a pill camera (yes I swallowed a camera) that finally caught it. At that point I was happy just to get a loving diagnosis, they started sending me to a psychiatrist towards the end thinking I was being psychosomatic and tried putting me on SSRIs.

kastein posted:Part of the homeless problem is that a whole lot of states that don't want to deal with their own homeless problem for one reason or another basically offer homeless people a bus ticket to not-here (instead of housing them in their jail system) and consider the problem solved. Then they cluck disapprovingly about how California is a bunch of lawless leftists and don't deal with their homeless problem and equivocate over how homeless people pooping on the sidewalk is the exact same thing as large corporations dumping industrial waste in rivers and when are you going to do something about those disgusting transients that we totally didn't just dump on you. I think it has more to do with climate, if I were homeless I sure as hell wouldn't want to be somewhere where I'd freeze or cook to death, Cali probably has the best climate for being homeless in the entire country. I've talked to homeless people here in Florida that traveled down from the north for the same reason, it's getting bad here too.

BraveUlysses posted:absolutely crushed that interview (first time doing a zoom interview too), fingers crossed i get an offer! Awesome dude! My lawyer said I did a good job at my hearing today too so I'm pretty optimistic on an approval Anyone remember the debacle I had with my carpet install? Well it turned out after we got the install procedure from the manufacturer that the installer failed at multiple points to install the carpet correctly so the warranty was null and void. Also figured out looking through the paperwork that the installer ordered 10 more feet of carpet than we needed (off a 12 foot wide roll) for some reason so we overpaid too. Home Depot gave us a full refund and we keep the carpet so that's good for now until we figure out what we're gonna do with this drat floor

When I was single in the 90's I moved around so much I started getting rid of a lot of my poo poo because of it. By the time I moved in with my wife all I had was clothes, a TV and a skateboard Kinda still regret getting rid of the giant B&W tower speakers and ADCOM setup I got when I was in the military but it was huge and heavy and didn't fit well in studio apartments

You guys with giant feet need to shop at outlet stores like Ross then because that's all they seem to have is oddball sizes for decent shoes. They hardly ever have good shoes in common sizes because those get picked clean immediately.

mrtrunks84 posted:Random question out to the group. I currently have a 2016 Golf R and my last car was a 2004 GTI. I'm really looking for a new experience and want to get into the sport sedan market (two kiddos). I have recently fallen smitten by a couple cars and want to see if anyone had any opinions I can quickly ignore. Look into the Lexus GS, much better car overall than the IS imo. But out of those four the IS, it's going to be the most reliable. Also if you want to ask more questions about what car to buy there's a thread in ask/tell for that

mrtrunks84 posted:Yes true, but for the price it's a E92 or a high mileage F80 and the IS would give me less headache out of warranty. Out of warranty are the key words. You're better off with a Lexus for initial price and price of upkeep. LS460 owner here and the car has been a dream. I was suggesting a regular GS over an ISF, you really should drive one, even tho it has "just" a V6 that V6 is amazing but if you can afford a GSF loving do it.

nm posted:They absolutely can arrest people for trespassing. Can they make an arrest the first time? In Florida you have to have a person trespassed first, like officially by police (it's a process), and then they will only get arrested if they come back and the police see them with their own eyes back on the property. It doesn't matter if they came and left and a hundred people saw it, the cops have to see it or it didn't happen. When I was doing security it was a pain in my rear end because trespassing was probably my biggest problem other than drunk idiots.

Yeah, if the property owner wants to "crack some skulls" let him do it on his own and don't get involved. It's situations like that that turn out way worse than you thought it would, and next thing you know you're in jail for having a hand in someone getting seriously hurt or killed. Not worth it in the slightest.

Yeah Publix has the "aftermarket" pods, but I've never had a problem getting Nespresso pods until now. Next time I'll get some as a back up. Also you can't really compare K cups (regular coffee) to Nespresso (espresso), if you want espresso regular coffee just doesn't cut it but I drink all kinds of coffee. Cold brew is awesome as well.
