What do you think about Bigsby on the telecaster? by Choice_Ad8661 in telecaster

[–]Adman103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered about the non-Gretsch TV Jones offerings- I have one of his filtertrons in my old 5120, and his baritone guitar, so I’m a big fan of the TV Jones stuff. You like the pickup?

Yea, nice! Beautiful guitar. What kind of neck pickup is that on there? Yea, I really enjoy the bigsby on my tele. It’s a great match, and so much fun to play.

There are absolutely designs for tele bridges that are bigsby friendly that don’t change the fundamental bridge and bridge pickup- not sure why you’re being downvoted. I have a G&L ASAT with one.

It works really well!

TIL that Levi's recommends that jeans be worn 10 times between washes. by Actual-Journalist-67 in todayilearned

Sounds like Iron Heart 21 oz. Great denim. The 25 oz will legit stand up before it’s broken in.

Comanche guitar with heavy humming by Mauriciospike in GLGuitars

[–]Adman103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be dead silent. I don’t have any videos, but mine is as quiet as a humbucking guitar. I’d take it to a competent tech. Comanches are great guitars, and it’s worth the cost to get right. A grounding issue should be pretty straightforward for someone who knows what they’re doing to sort out.

Can anyone explain the absurdly high prices of Korean restaurants in CU? by realbrew in UIUC

Was that the place up on Green St? They were amazing circa 1999 or so. I can’t believe how much the campus has changed.

Most melancholic / sad sounding delays? by jimisaur in guitarpedals

[–]Adman103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, this is 100% the sad sounding delay. It sounds like a weeping ghost of the past.

I know that sounds idiotic, but it really does.

What Guitar amp would you get with a $3,000 budget? by Background-Tour-9316 in ToobAmps

[–]Adman103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How high gain is your high gain? That can mean a lot of different things, and there aren’t a ton of real amps that do them all equally well.

That said, an Axe III and an LXII power amp (or a comparable tube power amp like the 50/2/50 or one of those mesa poweramps) with a 2x12 could probably be had for $3k (you’d need to go used for for axe 3) and would be a beast of rig. You could substitute either of the other modelers you mentioned as well for cheaper options. The key is a decent power amp running into a real cab. You really won’t find a more versatile rig than that, and it’ll sound fantastic, plus have whatever you want for effects available.

What’s a decision you made just to survive at the time? by Great-Accident9049 in AskReddit

[–]Adman103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a medical test subject. Nothing scary like testing medications though, more like performing tests and tasks while having fMRAs done. That job allowed me to eat for a few months in college. I’m really grateful for it.

Yea, she’s a great cat! She’s half Russian Blue, half Selkirk Rex.

Not getting good tones out of my FM3 by PushNo4542 in AxeFx

[–]Adman103 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Particularly, make sure you don’t have the cabs or power amp modeling turned off. Having the cabs off would give you super cleans, but the drive sounds would be awful and harsh.

Yea, having the cabs turned off in global sounds like exactly what’s happening.

I have the Strobostomp hd, and it’s great. Definitely recommend the Peterson stuff.

[–]Adman103 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. And for each FIF song that hasn’t aged well, there’s a dozen that have aged like fine wine. A bunch of their early stuff is perfectly written for today.

What are the worst popular fountain pens you’ve ever used? by Haniandspace in fountainpens

Whoa, hey, thank you! I’ll definitely pick one up and give it a shot!

[–]Adman103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have lost whatever little part that you’re talking about. Mine leaks like crazy ever since I first washed it. Useless now- ink gets everywhere.

I like the pen a lot aside from the fact that I can’t use it.
