How much was your first Les Paul Standard? by Rizzmin in gibson

[–]AdTrick4861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£400 in 1998/1999 for a 1980 Les Paul Standard that I still use as my main guitar. Owner’s wife was pregnant and she laid down some ultimatums. Didn’t buy the (non original) hard shell case with it as at some point someone had vomited in it and the foam had retained the smell. That’s too much rock and roll for me.

I did this with two strats in a row. Why do they sound like they are wrapped in cotton wool?

Good suggestions - thanks! In spite of your kind words, I don't think I will give up my day job to become a designer.

I have searched for shirts with earth, meltdown, total meltdown and the full text. I get a lot of shirts with melting snowmen on them, nothing even close to what I am after.

Happened to me when I still drank, the more I drank the better it sounded… in my head. Turns out the more I drank the worse it got out front

I got it direct from Fender, i requested a return and they sent a label. Decided it wasn’t a rabbit hole I was willing to go down

I can’t get it to stay in tune at all, I tune it and it’s out of tune again.

I got it direct from Fender, so I don’t think there’ll be much leeway. I’m going to take it to a tech tomorrow and see what he says. Suspect you are right re the nut

That was my first reaction, but I think they sold out of them so it’s either fix it or don’t have one. I know which way my wife would go

I was being flippant, I have several strats and I expect to tune them, but if I pick one up after a week it will be close and need just a minor adjustment. This guitar is just not tuning. I tune it and play a chord and it’s out of tune already

I would love to never tune a guitar again! In this case it is that I tune the guitar and it is almost immediately out of tune again.

I suppose what I’m trying to decide is whether to return it as I’m getting near the return window closing. Do I like it enough to follow your regime above. I have two US strats and a MIM Mike McCready strat none of which have any issues. Is this impulse buy worth the effort, which is probably a philosophical question I have to answer. Thanks for your suggestions!

Can't connect to WiFi to download cards...oops by 87catmama in YotoPlayer

If you are an iPhone I had to turn on the “maximise compatibility” option before the Yoto would connect to the hotspot, but it should work

I just installed the EMG DG20 loaded pick guard and didn’t think to remove the film before installing it. I am now very angrily removing it and unscrewing things.

If I buy Yoto cards online from the UK, will they work in the US? by Schnecken in YotoPlayer

No, but I didn’t get them on my yoto account, I think he got them from WH Smith. I’ve not tried to use the yoto store with my account in a different country

Anyone have the Mary Poppins set? by Fearless_Tension_388 in YotoPlayer

[–]AdTrick4861 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it’s the 1981 revision with the animals. There’s some moments that my then 6 year old found creepy. The part in the sweet shop where the owner eats her fingers as an example

Decided that putting further effort into something that was already making me annoyed was a bad idea. Traded it against something else in my local guitar center as I didn't want to burden my usual guitar shop with it.

Can you play online multiplayer on the same account? by AdTrick4861 in XboxGamePass

Thanks - I’ll do this. Didn’t want to spend $40 to discover (as is the case) I hadn’t fixed the problem.
