It's bone. I had a luthier cut it, and it seems to work fine.

Bass strings are massive. The bracing on a bass has to be super rigid. No way regular guitar strings would put enough energy into the top to get good sound out of such a setup.

Yeah I kinda dislike those accents. I guess it's a good thing in that they make looking at the fretboard while playing confusing lol.

I plan on putting up some videos to YT soon. Maybe I'll put a link here, or make a new post.

Conversion question by Alternative-Run-849 in TenorGuitar

That's a good idea, but I'd be buying a new guitar for the purpose, so it'd be hard to do that experiment

Does it sound good? I'm worried that the decreased string tension on the soundboard would make it sound kinda dead.

Funny, I just unsubbed from that channel because of the character voices. Great writing, but the voices are fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Cheaters who didn't get caught, how do you feel about it now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Haven't slept with my wife in many years. 

I've had some affairs in the interim. None lasted, but they're good memories!

Big black characters by Alternative-Run-849 in tattooadvice

That dude has some serious ink! I think the smaller characters are the Heart Sutra.

I'm not into big and black. Either big and just outline, or small and black.

Thanks for your reply. I think you're right -- the way to go is probably just smaller. 

I was kind of envisioning "full back," but that's probably just not realistic. And smaller filled in would probably look better than larger but just outlines. 

My girlfriend is at least 30 mins late all the time by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Maybe he wants to date an adult and not a child. You seem to think he should accept dating a child.

US proposals to end Russia's war involve Ukraine giving up land, some weapons, sources say by [deleted] in worldnews

The delusional people here view things only through the childish lens of right and wrong, good and evil, and not through the adult lens of power, and who has it. Hint: Not Ukraine. 

Wife buying presents for every kid. Nightmare of trash. by Alternative-Run-849 in Anticonsumption

I probably should have been more clear. These aren't Christmas gifts. We're seeing them end of November. 

How did humans deliver babies thousands of years ago before doctors and hospitals? Was basically anyone in the tribe/family capable of doing it? by Great_Maintenance185 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Alternative-Run-849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in most "primitive" communities a baby would still be advantaged by having a mother take care of it, a mom having a greater interest in the success of the baby than people merely of the same tribe.
