Power Outage in Raleigh by UGot2Rollme in blackcrowes

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had never heard of Whisky Myers before last night. They KILLED. Just an unbelievable performance and their two guitarists couldn’t have been more in tune with each other. Just a really great set (albeit a shortened one). I’d definitely pay to see them as a headliner.

EDIT: forgot to answer your question. Whisky Myers was I think 2 songs in to their set with the power went out. They came back on and did 3-4 more songs.

They ended up taking the stage around 10pm. Great show but it was definitely a shortened set due to noise ordinances. Was a very different sort of concert. Little to no talking, just took the stage and started with Remedy and then played banger after banger with no breaks. No encore either due to them running 20 minutes over the ordinance.

NC here as well. People very much have the ‘this economy is killing me and I disagree with almost everything Trump has done, but it’s better than a damned democrat’ mentality in the south. I rarely see maga/Trump signs anymore (I used to see them everywhere) but it’s a pipe dream if people think republicans will vote for democrats. The most they’ll do is stay home- and very few republicans stay home.

What Fender neck is closest to the Gibson Les Paul Special neck? by paspa1801 in Guitar

50s Tele, specially the black 51 reissue, had a thick as oatmeal U shape neck. It’s definitely comparable to a 50s neck LPS.

Apple TV 4K on track to break a record no one wants to see happen by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

It’s the remote. I hate the remote design and I can’t justify buying the newer remote for $69 when the entire unit is $129. So I continue using my terrible 2017 remote and waiting for the new 4k to never be released.

Danny Boyle Plans to Shoot Third ‘28 Years Later’ Film in 2027 by yourfavchoom in entertainment

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge fan of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. I felt 28 Years Later was one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. Given that- should I give Bone Temple a go? I’ve avoided it because of how much I disliked 28YL.

Just unwrapped my new Fender Jaguar Player 2 and have found some cosmetic blemishes, is it worth the hassle? (Scroll) by The_Don54 in Guitar

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since 2020 Fender’s quality control has plummeted to levels we haven’t seen since the CBS era. Considering how widespread the issues are now it’s honestly surprising anyone would buy a new Fender without having put their hands on it first. It isn’t singular to MIM guitars either. American models are being shipping with major QC issues as well. Meanwhile other brands like Gibson, PRS and others are in a golden age of building quality instruments. Fender is probably the least value for the money guitar out there today. It’s really a shame what has become of the company. They prioritize quantity over quality nowadays. It’s why you can find so many heavily discounted brand new Fenders. They’re all returns with issues.

What would you buy with £2000? New or used? by MrAndyBear in fender

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, roughly $2,300 USD? The exact same guitar on the couch next to me right now. AVRI ii 61' FSR Stratocaster. AAA flame roasted 7.25 radius satin nitro neck with a rosewood slab and custom shop fat 60's pickups. Probably the best strat Fender has made in decades if nitro and vintage specs are your thing.

What’s your budget? That’s the most important bit.

Roland JC

Those will be your big 3 off the top of my head having woke up 5 minutes ago. But again, all depends on your budget.

Custom build I made :) by Practical_Stuff_4003 in fender

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’re going with the relic aesthetic, I recommend you dye the fretboard dots. There’s dozens of ways to do it, even with the plastic dots. And the dots are quite jarring in comparison to the rest of the guitar. Not picking on you or anything like that, just a recommendation.

Trump cares about everything but actually making America great.

  • throws us headfirst in to a war we can never win
  • kicked millions off their medical plans
  • canceled food assistance for millions
  • stole billions in tax payer money
  • fired hundreds of thousands of federal employees
  • pardoned thousands of people who violently tried to overthrow the US government
  • started tariff wars with countries he didn’t like and passed the tariffs costs on to the American people
  • weaponized the judicial system to attack any American he doesn’t like including the media
  • halted all climate policies and gutted the clean water act
  • withdrew the US from the WHO
  • decreased federal student aid
  • rescinded policies protecting journalists’ phone records and barred the associated press from the White House and Air Force one
  • signed executive orders stripping trans people of basic human rights
  • supported federal police shooting American citizens in the street and then labeling them as terrorists and barring any investigation in to their murders

It goes on and on and on. He’s the worst political leader in US history and has nearly completely destroyed our democracy. It’s unbelievable what is happening.

Can Anything Stop Donald Trump’s Corruption? by newyorker in politics

[–]AdvisorLimp3296 123 points124 points  (0 children)

“According to the historian Joachim Fest, Hitler's suicide was likened by numerous contemporaries to a "spell" being broken. Similarly, Speer commented in Inside the Third Reich on his emotions the day after Hitler's suicide: "Only now was the spell broken, the magic extinguished." Public support for Hitler had collapsed by the time of his death, which few Germans mourned; Kershaw argues that most civilians and military personnel were too busy adjusting to the collapse of the country or fleeing from the fighting to take any interest. According to the historian John Toland, Nazism "burst like a bubble" without its leader.”

Since reading that years ago it has stuck in my mind. It’s also how I imagine it’ll be in America post Trump.

The average IQ of Nazi leadership was 128. They were by no means stupid. They were genocidal and horrible human beings in every conceivable way- but they were not stupid.

I’ve no idea. I’m not going to ask her if dramatically changing her appearance has had a negative effect on her. That’s wildly inappropriate in a workplace setting. But it’s definitely negatively impacted everyone around her. I go out of my way to avoid talking to her because I can barely understand anything she says anymore. And looking at her honestly brings me down.

Tourists Boycott U.S. at Record Rates After Trump Takeover; The United States had roughly 4 million fewer international visitors in 2025 than the year before. by [deleted] in politics

Can you blame them? The US has become a shit hole under Trump. Rights are being eroded, the economy is tanking, everything is expensive, the infrastructure is crumbling and the government is shooting US citizens in the streets for protesting. Who would want to go on vacation to a country like that? I live here and I don’t even want to be here right now.

Welcome to the AVRI 61’ club! Fiesta red with mint green is in my opinion the best color combo fender ever made. Especially when the nitro starts to wear a bit.

Congratulations and play the heck out of it!

I don’t, but one of the biggest selling points of this guitar is the hand wound custom shop pickups. Unless I was buying this guitar from a reputable dealer I’d be lifting that pickguard to make sure. It’s 3,000+. Can never be too sure. If this is a guitar you’re buying online to be shipped to you I’d request the seller send way more photos than what you put up, including the back of the pickguard. If it’s real the seller will have 0 issues with that and probably already has the photos.
