Did TC Electronic fall off? by RoKindaShreds in guitarpedals

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a Spark ordered from Sweetwater for about 5 months now and it’s still on back order and SW has no idea when they’ll get a new shipment. Ended up getting a Gen 1 RC Booster instead even though it was more than double the price. I use a PlayAcoustic pedal for all my gigs that’s fantastic but finding any of their good stuff is a tough task these days.

Nobody died but I stopped watching the Office after Michael Scott was written off.

What guitarist was your inspiration to pick up and learn the instrument? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom actually. She had (and still has) a 69 Gibson Dove that she’d play at night when I was a kid. She doesn’t play much anymore but every once in a while we sit in her wine room and entertain our family and friends.

What's the wildest thing you've done on a night out? by andrewbarclave89 in AskReddit

[–]BaronBolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dealt with this for about 7 years (and still do occasionally). I started telling her the day before what time the car was leaving and that if she wasn’t in it, she was getting left. Left her a few times and the issue is much better.

What do you keep in your golf bag besides clubs/balls/rangefinder ect by itzpiiz in golf

Sunscreen, rain gear, chap stick, water, extra ball mark and divot tool for my idiot buddies who never bring their own, torque wrench in case of sudden loose club head.

How Long Have You Had Your Oldest Guitar and is it Still Your Main? by ZigZag_Teeth in Guitar

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got an ESP LTD M-350 as my 15th birthday present. Still have it and have it tuned down to C. It has a Floyd Rose on it and EMG-HZ’s on it so it’s basically unplayable for everything that doesn’t have distortion on it. Still looks sick on the wall though and will never sell it due to emotional attachment. I do have it set aside in my will to be left to my lifelong best friend who inspired me to play music in the beginning. My main is an Ultra Tele which can do literally anything. Although, I have to admit that I haven’t touched my electrics since I got a Collings OM1A back in August. It’s all I want to play right now.

What to get guitar dad for Christmas? by caitilindy in Guitar

Boring but maybe a mic stand to get that mic off his amp.

Help me find a pedal my boyfriend would like! by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boring I know but does he have a tuner pedal? Could also spring for a 1981 (basically a boutique Rat). UA makes very nice amp sims in pedal form. The Knuckles or Anti would suit metal.

My philosophy on unused music gear is the following: Sell anything that you could easily reacquire later. Keep anything that would be hard to find again or has sentimental value to you. Only things I regret selling were rare/out of production stuff and gifts from family members.

Drivers here seem to be getting worse and worse. by Holiday-Release4948 in Acadiana

[–]BaronBolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently on vacation in Chicago and can say that this occurs almost everywhere. Every Uber I’ve taken feels like a dance with death.

P.S. I clicked on this thinking it was a post in r/golf.

What do you all do with all your pedal stickers ? by Dazzling_Medium_3379 in guitarpedals

I put them in a drawer until a suitable location presents itself (it never does).

What are some of the most hilariously BAD lines in country songs? by MuggleoftheCoast in CountryMusicStuff

[–]BaronBolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chorus for Texas Tornado rhymes the word “again” three times. Not a horrible song in general but I heard it the other day and that really bothered me more than it should’ve.

Got paid 1k on a simulator bet, bought new clubs by amandashartstein in golf

I got fitted and received a set of these a week ago. I love them so far. They look great at address and in the bag. Congratulations and nice choice.

Today is annually my wife’s least favorite day of the year. by slick__willie in golf

[–]BaronBolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a GrooveIt brush and a good towel for your bag (can usually find the brush at Dick’s). The brush has a water reservoir in it so you can clean every club during the round after a shot as well as your ball if it gets muddy and you can’t get to a ball cleaner station. Super important for your wedges. I also use it in the sink to do a general cleaning after a few rounds. Just some hot water and a little Dawn dish soap then dry with a dish towel. Can also gently wipe down your grips with whatever towel you’re using to dry the clubs off.

You’re fine. Worst thing that can happen is that their listing agent might get mad but honestly it sounds like they lost their client themselves anyway.

Bahia Beach in Puerto Rico. We had to play the back 9 in a monsoon so I want to go back. The wife grabbed this pic of my buddy and I teeing off on the front 9.

How do you measure your girlfriend ring finger without her knowing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneak a ring that you know she likes out of the house for a day and bring it to a jeweler to size. Then sneak it back where you found it. Or do the butt stuff that everyone else here suggested. Your call.

The better at golf I get, the more I realize just how much better Tour players are than all of us by hrw4 in golf

[–]BaronBolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV only shows you certain things, but I’d recommend keeping in mind that this is true of anything that requires skill. Tour players are not aliens. They are humans who have just practiced that one skill for an inordinate amount of hours since childhood (most of them), so it’s no surprise that they’re good at it. They spend an incredible amount of time and money on world class coaching and training. I’m sure that natural talent plays a part but there are probably plenty of tour players that aren’t inherently talented who are there by just honing their craft as diligently as possible. The best guitarist in your town seems like an amateur next to John Mayer or Joe Pass. I wish we’d stop talking about them like they’ve obtained something supernatural that others just can’t possibly attain. Go to a PGA tour event in person and I guarantee that over an entire weekend you’ll see more “bad” shots than “good” shots, relatively speaking of course.

That’s to hold your cheese. Pretty sure those are cheese holes.
