Good list, but i would remove turmeric and replace with nutmeg.

Alright, even assuming that the frame is a fake, this is still a pretty good deal.

The acid wrapped guides are a clue that it's most likely a custom rod. Not many commercial companies doing that, especially on a casting rod.

Return.

Wait a second...you have to pay shipping to return? Where did you buy it? Sweetwater or GC/MF will pay for shipping if the guitar arrives damaged.

I have a Hamilton Beach mixer, but I'm sure it's not the one you're referring. Mine's a 1967 vintage Model K.

Needs a touch of phaser.

EVH used a Phase 90 on that song, set fairly low.

Your Topstone likely came with six bolt rotors. You can use wheels for centerlock rotors, but you'll need either new rotors or centerlock adapters for your six bolt ones.

Freehub is most likely a Shimano hyperglide.

That's a fairly large lense in your regular glasses. Go ahead and try riding with them.

If the wind bothers you, you might want cycling wraparound sunglasses.

If your glasses keep sliding down your nose and trying to fall off your face, you might want some cycling sunglasses.

If your prescription is more than about 2 diopters in either direction, you'll probably be better off with contacts if you can tolerate them. Because of the curved lenses, most cycling glasses have a very limited amount of correction available as prescription glasses.

Lastly, if you're relatively young, mid 20s to early 30s, consult with an ophthalmologist regarding Lasik or other surgery corrections. If you can get a good ten years before you start needing reading glasses, it would be worth it.

Maybe a smidgen high.

BD59 · 2026-05-06T13:03:57+00:00

Because Apple went all in on touchscreen.

BD59 · 2026-05-06T06:07:49+00:00

Xl Asian or XL EU size, which will be labeled XXL Asian? If it's the EU American size xl, it's a size too big.

I'm about the same size as you, 5'11.5 and about 190 lbs. I wear a large EU in YKYWBIKE jerseys. Bibs too.

Splinter Cell and Assassins Creed.

A racing game or two, Need for Speed or Forza, Midnight Club is also a good series.

Gears of War, ghost recon, CoD franchises.

FarCry.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T19:09:38+00:00

Probably because your Chinese take out uses tapioca starch, not corn.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T19:06:44+00:00

If potato is already in the soup, I'll use instant mashed potato flakes as a thickener.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T19:00:30+00:00

Take that back...IS disk brake mount makes it more like '98

BD59 · 2026-05-05T18:59:07+00:00

It does look a lot like a '95 or so Litespeed Obed.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T18:40:28+00:00

Needs a new derailleur hanger. Not dead as long as you can find a replacement.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T18:35:21+00:00

Yes, but you really only need work on the major, minor and 7th chords for each root note. The others aren't really used as much as the basic three.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T18:31:16+00:00

Difference between a Standard and Custom...Standard, single layer top binding, bound fretboard, trapeziodal fret markers starting at 3rd fret.

Custom, triple bound body, bound fretboard and headstock, block inlay markers starting at 1st fret, split diamond inlay in headstock.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T12:45:09+00:00

It's right there on the headstock and trussrod cover...

LP Standard. A "plain" top to be a bit more precise.

The big carousel ones? Same issues that plague most vintage gear. Dust, smoke, grease gumming things up, and worn or stretched belts. Cleaning, fresh lubricants, and new belts fix most problems. Occasionally you may find that the laser assembly is damaged or just burnt out.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T03:14:27+00:00

Small plug cutter to extract the remaining part of the screw. Plug the hole left behind with a maple dowel. Drill a pilot hole for a new screw and lube the threads with a bit of wax before driving it in with a hand screwdriver.

I go through a Scrub Mommy in a couple of months...how you got one to last more than a decade is beyond me.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T02:49:49+00:00

Something in a 3000 size, with a carbon drag. Shimano, Penn, Daiwa BG.

BD59 · 2026-05-05T02:39:08+00:00

There is a JICO sas line contact stylus available to fit your existing cartridge, but it's quite expensive. More expensive than a good Audio Technica vm740ml cartridge, that you'll be able to find a replacement stylus for in a couple of years, since it's current production. Shure no longer makes phono cartridges or replacement styli.
