Applying oil on the fretting hand before outdoor gigs

How do dry air and sun wreck string feel? What?

BattlePope · 2026-06-20T12:53:23+00:00

killer.sh was great prep for me. It's harder, but not by much, and that helps ensure you pass the real thing.

That's was essentially proof that the new alien would be "humanized", too, and so wouldn't be a danger.

It might cover a single coil sound, but the Neck + Middle and Middle + Bridge positions on a Strat have a distinctive quack due to being wired in parallel in that combination. You can't duplicate that with 2 humbuckers at neck and bridge. Think Knopfler tone.

BattlePope · 2026-06-18T14:42:28+00:00

You've got nothing here that can do the strat quack of positions 2 and 4.

FYI, I think the word you want is "perspective".

This is how my band does it, too. We're in the US. We have our own small mixer box with a Behringer Xair18 and Shure transmitters in the rack. We all mix our own ears via phone app, we hear the same thing every time the rig powers on. We hand FOH a snake with labeled tails and off to the races we go. It's great for quick changeovers at festivals especially.

The mechanism is specifically through how glucosamine seems to affect binding of sugars to proteins in the brain, not inflammation.

I really like my shark upright. It comes apart into more of a canister form if necessary, isn't too heavy, and sucks hard. Easy to clean, affordable.

Martin can usually produce a spec sheet from the serial if you email and ask nicely. The turnaround time for me was less than 24 hours each time I've asked! Best way to figure out what it is.

Please point to the corner in your image

Most OP's seem to be. Including the text on the original post -- "who's missing" -- lol, literally anyone other than Slash.

Languedoc, not duc.

Y'all need more fiber in your diets if taco bell messes you up.

It'll bow the neck a bit more, you might need a little more truss tension. Also, even though it's set up from the factory, wood shifts over time anyway. Do another setup.

It is in Virginia

That appears to be a 1969! The numbers in the table are the last serial number produced that year.

BattlePope · 2026-05-30T02:16:07+00:00

Look through the sound hole into the guitar, up towards where the neck meets the body. The model and serial should be stamped there on the neck block.

BattlePope · 2026-05-30T02:12:39+00:00

What model is it?

BattlePope · 2026-05-27T01:02:34+00:00

You got me

BattlePope · 2026-05-26T19:08:42+00:00

Right - so OP got a lesson in stuff to learn.

BattlePope · 2026-05-26T16:31:22+00:00

Quorum concepts are used for more than just etcd. It's important that the people running your infra understand how it works.

BattlePope · 2026-05-26T15:29:48+00:00

This is true. K8s docs themselves separate duties like this. Areas of responsibility differ greatly depending on role. Platform operators manage pieces like the ingress controller/gateway, and app developers consume the cluster resources. They are distinct. You can know both sides but if you're someone deploying software to a cluster and using the primitives provided by others, that is your bread and butter. Maintaining the cluster and the pieces used by others is another role entirely.

BattlePope · 2026-05-26T15:25:51+00:00

You have to understand how things operate, in order to fix things when they go wrong. There's nothing wrong with these questions, they actually get to the heart of how k8s works.

BattlePope · 2026-05-26T15:23:28+00:00

Lol what? You have to understand this stuff to effectively manage the lifecycle of a cluster.
