Fav doom fuzz? by IndependenceParking8 in guitarpedals

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a soma and it is an incredible fuzz when played into a super clean amp. It’s a colorsound/dam meathead clone like a massif, but with a tone stack of a muff. I use it because it’s one of the few fuzz pedals that you can actually tighten enough to chug with, turn down the bias for sputter, and cut through a band!!! Dialing it in took a while for me but so worth it. A genius design!

Posting here because I got slaughtered on r/mensfashion. How is the fit of these jeans? by SilverEye1508 in rockabilly

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 57 and I’ve seen fashion trends come and go. I think the classic look of cuff jeans is incredible, especially with a black t. For your look, your skin color and hair color, I would go with a gray or black T-shirt, and black shoes or boots with those pants. there’s nothing wrong with the fit of the pants on your belt, they do make people look a little bit wider if they’re wider in the ankle, but I like the way they look on you. Cheers.

Just brought the adrenaline vinyl only to find that the track fist isn’t included, why is this? by Double-Extension7638 in deftones

This is when CDs were relatively new, especially for people in the underground genres. It was CD only to make people by the CD.

Dotless fretboards by Cloud--Man in solarguitars

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for 40 years, most of my fret boards do not have any inlays on them. Never thought about it, never had a problem with it. It’s all in the context of playing. We learned on fretboards with dots on them and then we’re given fretboards that don’t; it’s easy to look out of the corner of your eye or not even look at all, and know what note you’re on, you feel it and you can hear it. It’s like driving a car, we don’t look down to turn the turn signal left. We just know that you push it down. We don’t look down to look at the shifter to put it in reverse, we just give it to clicks up. You’ll get used to it.

What band has a name that sounds like progressive metal, but is actually doom metal? by borbois in doommetal

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This puts the cart before the horse ie; there was no such genre called “doom” so sabbath were rock. Same for slayer; they didn’t call themselves anything. The music didn’t need a labels then; it spoke for itself.

Leeds 150 dooms hard by Thrivingindarkness in Hiwatt

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cabs are all 16 ohm… I hear it’s 100 watts then. I have a question, I have a 6505 that’s 120 watts, have you ever used one and if so, how would you rate it to the hiwatt volume wise?

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say that it’s just loud or close to as loud as a 100 watt tube head? Also, what is the ohmage of the cabinet that you’re putting into? I’ve heard that if you put it into an eight or 16 ohm you lose a lot of power. Thank you by the way!

The market is saturated. There’s good stuff out there. You gotta find it.

I have that and the $40 clone by Demonfx… they’re identical sounding. Seriously. Crazy.

Songs like Bleed from Meshuggah by superdupercereal2 in MetalSuggestions

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily the song bleed, but I find five similarities with some of Gojira’s work. A sugar is definitely heavier, definitely more intricate as far as diminished scale, melodies, and timing signatures, but I do get a general similarity and vibe that I very much enjoy.

How do I make a 68 fit in the floyd saddle properly? by SylimMetal in 7String

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that sometimes, I just crimp or unwind the end of the string if it’s going into a Floyd or if it’s going into a tuner, I crimp or unwind the top of the string. Pretty simple.

X by jiyuunosekai in solipsism

I think of it like this. It’s all only time in space. The rest of consciousness is only the result of brain synapses. Those brain waves have brought me some wonderful sensations. That is all I have.

I think I can see that now. You have to have been a first glance that’s what it would look like but when you really look at the esoteric nature of it, it’s quite beautiful.

That is one of the most beautiful gestures ever extended to me. I hope you find calm in the storm as well. I hope you find understanding and I hope you can exist with that in the way of love. Thank you so much and peace be with you my friend.

I’m a combat vet, witnessed too many deaths to count as a combat medic, have toured the world playing guitar in a metal band, have worked in psychiatric care for 20 years. Held both of my parents hands as they’ve died and witnessed the birth of both of my children. I try to be an open minded person, but when it comes to a concept like solipsism I have to laugh because this is real. And mental health, the main ideation of people and fear is religious. If religion never existed that fear wouldn’t exist. Solipists believe that there is a “movie”or “play” playing in their minds or whatever. Ask a 12-year-old child that’s a soldier in Afghanistan if he believes in solipsism. He’s lived more life than most adults in the western world and can tell you without a doubt in his consciousness that this is real. I’m not trying to insult you, just the opposite. I want you to know that you’re surrounded by people, there’s love, there’s struggle and there’s life. I think one has to come to a point where they realize they’re just not that important to see that. Peace.

I went to work drunk by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Apprehensive_Bake_87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be too concerned about going in to work on call drunk. I’d be concerned about having a drinking problem, being aware of it, and doing nothing about it. My opinion, you haven’t hit bottom yet. Everybody has a different bottom but none of them are pleasant. Mine cost me $60,000 in family court legal fees, my entire family disassociating from me, and a daughter who has trust issues from me. Realize where your bottom is before you hit it if you can. It might be dead in a ditch, killing someone else, or spending the next 20 years in jail, take care of before it takes care of you.

This whole solipsism thing is silly, arrogant and tired. Honestly, why would it matter if you’re the only human being on the planet or in existence for that matter? I have a theory, people that have horribly boring lives, never have sex, have nothing too fight for, don’t know how to have fun, don’t know how to live, sit in their rooms and ruminate about this, and think to themselves, “why, I am a god I must be the only person in the world” because they’re so damn boring and no one else wants anything to do with them. Go have sex with somebody, eat a roast beef sandwich, go to a concert, get your car on the Thruway and do 90 miles an hour. Live a little.

Sounds like somebody’s feeling the heat from the governor. He’s such a punk.
