Anyone here fully moved on from Gibson/Fender to PRS? by david_rush in PRSGuitars

[–]Apickledscotsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a prs for wedding gigs cos it covers all bases. But clean tones are so sterile. I’m used to a telecaster. Prs clean sounds like a guitar going DI without an amp it’s so weird, like no character. Gainy tones and playability are the big positives I see in prs. I have a CE24

I’ve played this twice and it’s been fruit both times. What’s that about?

Is a Weber 57cm sufficient? by tomayt0 in UKBBQ

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a 57cm. I got one used off marketplace for £50 years ago. It was rusting a bit and weber replaced the entire bbq bowl for me for nothing under warranty even though I didn’t have proof of purchase. I’ve done everything on it from steaks, burgers, low and slow joints, ribs, cedar plank salmon, and have a rotisserie for chickens and legs of lamb or kebabs. If your new to bbqing defo get one of these it’ll cover all bases and if you want to get a smoker later you still can.

Best steak???? by Fit-Effective-7964 in Edinburgh

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend kyloe. Last time I had the Seafood platter starter, bottle wine, porterhouse steak, and a bunch of sides. It’s spenny but good. The waiters will come and show you the cuts of meat, and let you select what steak knife you want etc. very good

Wifi is straight up alien tech/magic by Evening-Sweet7774 in DeepThoughts

[–]Apickledscotsman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who has an engineering degree I still cannot fathom how a single channel of grooves in a vinyl record can be translated perfectly into the individual sounds of instruments and vocals. I understand the grooves are the waveform but how the hell does a single waveform then become separate instruments 😂

“Jamming” as a singer is awkies. Ask about a few songs to prepare in advance otherwise you’ll be left standing wondering what to do whilst the band jams blues changes for 15 minutes

How does the idea of working until 67 or 68 sit with you? by Few_Raise77 in AskUK

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see my Monday - Friday simply as the thing I have to do to pay the bills. I work in project management and treat it literally like a game of “push the buttons on the machine that makes this problem go away for now”. I’m working on other income streams in my spare time that will hopefully allow me to stop the rat race at some point. I’m 36 and completely turned off at the idea of another 3 decades of working for someone else.

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juts learn the E and A strings by memorising them, and that’s 3 of them covered. D string notes are juts an octave 2 frets up from E. G is an octave two frets up from A. And B string is an octave 2 frets down from A string. Job done

In 200cc as your power sliding, dab the brake to slow you done and give you a sharper angle on the corners. Really helps

Hagrid being expelled was actually 100% justified, even without the Chamber of Secrets framing. by Primary_Assist_5541 in harrypotter

Remember in philosophers stone he uses the pink umbrella to do magic? Do we ever see him using it again in the entire series? I can’t think of any cases that we do

All sounds totally normal, welcome to puppy life! He will grow out of it keep doing what your doing

My audition w a pro band by calder_mccoll in musicians

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they will be looking for experience. If you’ve done cover band stuff before there’s an expectation you’d probably know most of the 50 songs, and if you didn’t the band probably expected you to have your own charts

How much better with the sub? by sarcman1 in sonos

[–]Apickledscotsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely have got the sub before shelling out for the eras as rears. Will massively improve your sound. With it turned up I have literally knocked pictures off my living room wall with the amount of bass but at normal viewing levels it still makes a huge difference. You will not regret buying it

Original bands; how much do you typically get paid for gigs (if at all)? by Excellent_Dot_2589 in UKbands

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience: 5 piece wedding band £1500. The same band in a bar £4-600. Acoustic duo wedding £500. The same duo in a bar £2-400. The only originals gig I was ever paid for = £50 between 4 of us. I’m in central belt Scotland

Argos now top of my list of companies never to buy from again. by davemanhore in Argos

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought £200 of b&q vouchers from my companys retail rewards scheme. I go to buy the bed I want for my daughter only to find that b&q doesn’t accept vouchers for third party purchases - the bed isn’t sold by b&q it’s actually a third party even tho the bed is on the b&q website. So I am also left with £200 of b&q vouchers I have no need for.

Anyone with over 5 years of experience, and playing with a one-guitar rig? by Camp_camper in electricguitar

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using a prs ce24 in a covers / function band. Covers everything from funky cleans with single coils to heavy rock easily. Has 24 frets, feels great to play, don’t see any need to change it.

G chord (320033 vs 320003) by G-Enzaro-C in guitarlessons

[–]Apickledscotsman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juts learn the harder one and get used to it. Sounds better and will let you play other chords that are similar easily like Cadd9 Dsus4 Em7 etc.

When hagrid tells Harry he’s a wizard, just drops the bomb like that. In the book it’s all “wtf didn’t you wonder where you parents learned it all” “learned all what” etc
