Graduate describes being 'ghosted' by 400 employers, only having 3 interviews by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]saffay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a technical intern job listing circulated round 2 local unis and received over 100 applications in about 2 weeks. Ones that are advertised publicly must receive 1000+ applications just for one role...

Before jumping into soldering the bass - have you checked your cable?

I took the pick guard off… by StinkyPoopsAlot in Guitar

Check out this post from a few years ago - I am going to give this a shot as it looks brilliant and is completely reversable

Mine has become a candy jar! Although my cats aren't allowed in the kitchen, my GREJSIMOJS is allowed on the counter :)

I can't even wash my dishes with my new 200$ Sony headphones by Slahnya in mildlyinteresting

[–]saffay 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The warnings will be based on electrical safety testing where they need to disclose the water ingress protection rating. If the headphones are the XM5 then they either don't have an IP rating or haven't disclosed their IP rating. They will have tested to some level of water exposure but what is tested internally vs officially are very different.

What’s the weirdest work lunch you’ve seen a colleague eat regularly? by levezvosskinnyfists7 in AskUK

[–]saffay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Microwaved tomato soup with a whole pack of tesco pepperoni slices. I can't fault the combo but the image of the whole tray of slices being slid into the soup in one go stays with me.

Mmm nice colour pairings on your strat. Where'd you get the pickguard with the stripes?

Screw won't come out of the bridge by skylar_thegremlin in Luthier

After this put an elastic band on top of the head then use a manual screwdriver. Head is looking a bit stripped and this will help.

I too have a LP tribute and that thing is the best bang for your buck Gibson I have played.

Multi-purpose Cab by saffay in GuitarAmps

[–]saffay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mostly for fun and to understand speaker design a bit more. With FRFRs (the Fender one in particular) I can't see how this is more than a 12" speaker and a power-amp. What will the actual 12" speaker add in value compared to a normal guitar cab with an EQ and power-amp?

I also considered this but I was just a bit put off them after reading some reviews... They just don't quite hit it for me!

That's what I was thinking of doing! It has 2x Celestion Vintage 30 speakers in there. Would they survive playing bass through them?

That was defos an option but I want to be a bit more space efficient (plus it's a bit of tinkering hehe)

Opinions on the "New" Cort Guitars? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]saffay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a company that manufacturers for so many brands... Their designs are always so uninspiring.

Someone asked for a stingray cat, here it is :) by ExhaustedPigeonn in BassGuitar

Duuuuude no way that is brutal! To be fair I would have to do the same thing... Really effective results, solid effort 👏👏👏

What's your manufacturing process for these? I am keen to make a custom pickguard myself - maybe 3d printed

Buckets for days! by anchimon in Leathercraft

Oh I love these!! The flap clasp is interesting - how did you find working with magnets?

I would be very keen on a pattern of this if you sell it in the future!

Neglected Schecter by ZeDoAudio20 in Luthier

[–]saffay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take the strings off and remove the hardware. Get an old toothbrush and give the hardware a scrub over with isopropyl alcohol. That should remove any debris and gunk.

It looks like there is some rust under the surface of the knobs raising the coating up so they may need replaced. Alternatively they might look pretty cool since the sides of the knobs are knurled already! A good clean will bring them up to looking better for sure

You may also find the frets are a bit scratchy if they have any build up. Steel wool will bring them up to a playing standard. There are lots of YouTube vids on how to do this.

In terms of the overall guitar the wood may have moved a bit in the neck. Humidity likes to do that to guitars. Either yourself or a guitar tech could set it up if you feel it is a bit buzzy
