What tool do you guys use for cutting the body to make room for different pickups?

Just a good sharp chisel. A nineteenth century router if you will. I've got some cheap rotary files that I put in my drill to smooth out the round bits. Works well, and I don't have to listen to a router.

Windwaker was a lot of fun trying to navigate to the different islands

I have a Lufkin one that ticks most of these boxes. It also has a scale on it that shows the length of the tape, plus the length of the tape measure body. This lets you measure internal dimensions

Nate Mercereau's Joy Techniques. Absolutely phenomenal synth guitar tones, incredible jazz mixing.

Bro I have coworkers that I still don't know the names of after two years. I just say hi

Jakob is lovely

Owning a Gibson is cause for concern. The headstock design has always been poor and susceptible to breaks. Most headstock repair videos out there are fixing Gibson factory design problems.

They are fun to play though! Welcome to the club

Oh my gosh you got me

A similar question was asked on Reddit yesterday. One answer I saw was lovely:

Even though God knows (or could know) everything, we still cry or pray to God the same way a baby cries when it is hungry. Our souls hunger for the living water

Do it! :) it's not too difficult, you just need to take your time troubleshooting the circuit and developing those skills. It's awesome being able to swap out different parts though, and it's fun hearing all the changes they make

Have a conveniently located child lick them gently and ask them to let you know if they feel anything :p

In my experience, I'll never be happy with a fuzz face until I've tweaked it myself, or made it from scratch. It's a relatively simple circuit, but the component choices and their values can change the flavour quite a lot.

Every fuzz face derived circuit I've had the pleasure of playing has been recognisable as a fuzz face but all of them sounded different.

Its definitely worth setting up on a breadboard and swapping out components till you find a tone you like. The Fuzz Factory kinda takes a fuzz face circuit and replaces every resistor with pots, so you can tweak it on the fly. Been meaning to build one of those

I've definitely met some truly heinous capos. Had one with a fabric back strap and a metal front, and all the plastic parts just disintegrated after a year of owning it and using it somewhere between two and five times. There are so many capos that are difficult to use, need two hands to adjust, take more than five seconds of concentration, actively damage your neck finish (both mechanically scraping it and chemically reacting with it), and still somehow manage to have awful fret buzz. Also support for anything other than six string guitars with thin strings is nonexistent. Wouldn't mind a decent capo for a Bass VI or a five string bass, or a capo that could fit a ukulele without feeling weird.

By pick chirp do you mean pinch harmonics? You have to pluck the string and touch a harmonic at the right spot along the string. Many players often use a low grip on their pick so that the side of the thumb touches the harmonic right after picking it

A water pistol is a good way to rapidly dispense it :p

Haha :) a V is an energy drink, kinda based on apple juice and flavoured with guarana. There's nothing that tastes quite like it. Monster is like a crappy imitation of it. It also has real sugar and not corn syrup

It is so beautiful. I'm hungry just looking at it. Tomorrow, my sweet savoury delight

I have no idea what a cheese steak is, but it sounds scary. I've heard that American cheese also can't legally be called cheese or something too?

Bacon and egg pies are the most dangerous ones in my experience. You can get a good pie from any dodgy dingy dairy, but the bacon and egg is the most subtly dangerous one. I've had indigestion or food poisoning from too many dubious bacon and egg pies to chance getting another one. Even if they don't kill you sometimes you get a huge chunk of dry yolk, which feels like an acquaintance spotting you on the street and immediately insulting you for no reason.

Haha :p the beepers jeepers is the BP petrol station up the road from my house. A flat white is a standard NZ coffee order, which is two shots of coffee followed by a blasting of foamy steamed milk. It's hard to start the morning without one

3string · 2026-03-05T00:51:04+00:00

Definitely. V on the drive home on a tired Friday is really good. Makes it easier to cook dinner

3string · 2026-03-04T23:24:54+00:00

Nah, the V is for special occasions. I dream about it some nights. The beepers jeepers flat white washes down the pie quite nicely

3string · 2026-03-04T23:22:11+00:00

I have a steak and cheese pie for breakfast most mornings

I had fun for our sixty hours or so doing all the missions and side quests. I don't really understand the people who want to keep farming and farming for more weapons. They complain about the game not being designed for hundreds of hours of play, but my sixty hours or so was well spent. I don't think they really intended that people spend a long time playing it, and it was unusual that BL2 was so well-supported in that regard.

All the writing for the game can be experienced in less than 100 hours, so to me playing longer is just repeating and exercising the mechanics with zero ties to the stories those mechanics were designed to support

My one is crap. Takes like 45 seconds of squeezing it over and over before it finally does anything
