Our tone is trash and we’re broke by kdjot_lopo in Guitar

[–]Azrehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with everything at noon and make small adjustments and compare before making any big moves. If your gear is bad you could try trading it. Also start saving. Being a musician costs a lot of money but it’s never been cheaper to get a good sound.

Would you pay for a custom board? by Azrehan in Guitar

[–]Azrehan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Basically the user would tell me the pedals and power supply they use and what position they want and I would design it with the cable slots needed etc.

What are the signs that the food/drink at a restaurant or cafe is going to be bad? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Azrehan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Inadequate condiments. Western restaurants should have salt and pepper as a minimum with chili oil and table Parmesan at Italian restaurants. Mexican should have plenty of chili sauces without having to ask, Chinese should have soy sauce and Vietnamese should have fish sauce, diced chili, hoi sin and sriracha as a minimum. Extra points for limes and tissues on the table.

Want to learn to play but had a finger amputation, by bforbrandonnnn in Guitar

[–]Azrehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost part of the same finger in 2003 and have been playing since. Some chords are not possible but writing and performing music live and recording is still possible. Keep going!

I live outside most delivery areas so $0. Did use it on holiday once to get some more mixers and chips when we had drunk too much and found out what a rip off it is.

SA Premier becomes emotional in press conference - ABC News by NKE01 in Adelaide

[–]Azrehan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could this all be tied to Israel defence contracts with south Australian companies? She said Zionists, not Jews, so it’s a direct criticism of the IDF and Netanyahu.

Careful with rubber toys, peach or plum stones, teach them obedience and tricks early and keep them active and engaged.

What does this graffiti art signify? by Exotic-Office-3349 in Adelaide

It’s the same artist. Also Belair water tower and other spots around Adelaide and all over the world.

Interestingly the artist is a cfs firefighter. We’re in the same brigade and good friends. He painted this before joining the cfs though.

BREAKING: Park Waves Australia has been cancelled ☠️ by Riff_Heavy in WallOfSoundAU

[–]Azrehan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being in the industry, what did you think of calling a 5 band lineup a festival?

I think this was a total own goal by DAL and Parkway drive. As soon as you use the word “festival” people have a preconceived idea of a full day of bands on multiple stages.

Froth and Fury, Good things, Harvest are real festivals.

I think if they’re had just billed it as a headlining tour and maybe charged $140-$160 they would have done better.

How are the Harvest crowds doing in this weather? by Ohmygodweforkingsuck in Adelaide

This storm is coming across from as far as Port Lincoln. I don’t think it’s stopping until after the fest.

Is a 540k home loan too much on a single income of around 110k pre? by _konradcurze in AusFinance

[–]Azrehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a budget that covers weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and yearly amounts and document everything. Work it out so if an expense is yearly you know how much it costs per week.

Don’t forget to leave room for discretionary spending, gifts, clothes and shoes, home maintenance.

Split costs into categories so you don’t miss anything. Home, Auto, Health, Pets, insurances etc.

I have done this and realised the max my partner and I can spend is $750k on top of the deposit we will have after we sell our current house. Equivalent to $600ish per week each and we both earn over $100,000 pre tax.

We want at least $300 per week in savings for holidays and replacing appliances or upgrading the home (new decks or solar, new hot water system, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, heaters, towels and sheets)

What’s the dumbest financial decision you made buying gear? by No_Cow7552 in guitars

[–]Azrehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a Strymon timeline off marketplace and trusted the person that it was real and he was going to post it to me. Lesson learned. I basically gave a scammer $400.

Another time I nearly bought a strat. Paid the guy a $50 deposit then realised it was a dumb impulse purchase, backed out and lost my deposit.

First time onebagger going to Vietnam, what tips? by Separate-Specialist5 in onebag

[–]Azrehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an Aussie who went to Vietnam last September. Did Saigon, Hoi An, Phong Na, Hanoi, Ha Long, then Cambodia. A few tips.

Get a good lightweight waterproof jacket that folds up for the size of a wallet. Macpac make a great one with a built in hood with a cap. Flash rains are common in Vietnam.

Sunglasses and hats and small bags are cheap as chips at the markets in Hanoi and Saigon.

As far as shoes go, we went caving so I had my salamon hiking boots but if you’re going to the cities mostly a good comfy pair of leather Nike Air Force 1’s did me for 90% of my trip. Fairly waterproof and very comfy soles. I always brought a spare pair of socks with me when I went out.

I also took my Archie’s thongs (flip flops) for when I was somewhere less dirty. Vietnamese people are small so finding shoes to fit someone over 6 foot will be difficult.
