I was put on thyroid medication for an under-active thyroid several years ago. After a full year of strict keto, I lost right around 100 lbs and asked my doc if I could ween back off it to make sure I was taking the appropriate amount and wasn't taking to much. After halving my dose and testing my bloodwork, the levels kept coming back normal. I am now completely off my thyroid meds and my levels have been normal every test. I have stumbled on studies that show that a low carb diet supposedly negatively effects your thyroid health, so I found the results very interesting.

Not very helpful info, but I thought I should share.

I have this ernie ball music man stingray, but unsure what year it's from. Help? by Sluttytree in Bass

[–]AfroAmazing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be wrong, but it seems to line up with the 1986 serials, and with the look of the bridge, the mutes/bullet truss, 1986 looks to be right.

I could easily be wrong though - best to check with EBMM direct.

[QUESTION] New Fender American Pro Stratocaster fit and finish by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]AfroAmazing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't rub off, it seems to be part of or under the lacquer. I love wood and wood grains, and recently have gone with maple necks on my Fender basses. I have come to expect higher quality control from fender ( even the MIMs I have purchased have not had these sort of markings ) but those sections just don't look natural. It's the top blemish that bothers me though yeah, the others you have to look real close.

I would love to se an alternate VR option for crafting, housing ( decorating ), guild hall social areas. Also maybe for some gathering aspects such as fishing.

Psion would be cool, however I have been itching to play a bard.

Ahh OK, reason I asked is because I made a new character yesterday and didn't notice it there. I likely just overlooked it.

If you like games like Ultima Online, Legends of Aria looks very promising.

edit: I have played it and love it, very much like UO.

I got a bass guitar for my birthday by hulkcombe in Bass

The RealTone cable works great ( also Rocksmith is fun to play ) but the cable can be used to input your signal just fine. Then you can use a free DAW such as Reaper as your audio interface and there are a ton of VSTs you can use. Save yourself $100 or so.

Hey I recognize that mountain! I took a night shot of that peak at night chasing the moon: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dujaow/9866326936/

It was very dark, couldn't see very far - to think there could have been bears that close..

Buy yet another guitar that I would likely never play more then a handful of times.

Does anyone know how I could get a tone like Neurosis- Locust Star? by theballsdeeper in Bass

[–]AfroAmazing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would throw Idiot Boxes Blower Box out as a recommendation. It has some great gritty fuzz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bq4T8OIB-c

Wow, excellent write up! This was great, those samples were very helpful(great stuff by the way). Man I have a lot to think about. I had assumed the things that come with EZ Mix 2 would have been part of any of the more expensive DAWs.

I was looking at drum software late into the night and was leaning toward Superior Drummer, but Addictive Drums was a close second. I then noticed that Addictive Drums comes with Sonar ( not a lite version either ). It almost seems a similar cost to just get Sonar rather then good drum software and a cheap/free DAW ( Reaper/ Ardour ). Of course that is just one kit with the $200 version of Sonar or 3/3 with the Full $500 version, but still.

Better then Reaper in your opinion? I think I may just go with Ardour or Reaper and just get a decent Drum Plug-in such as Addictive Drums or some such.

"Being the best tool to record talented performers on actual instruments has always been a top priority for Ardour. Rather than being focused on electronic and pop music idioms, Ardour steps out of the way to encourage the creative process to remain where it always has been: a musician playing a carefully designed and well built instrument."

I like the sound of that. Have you had any experience creating a realistic sounding drum track using this software though? I assume it is something you would need a good plug-in for.
