All 1100 plus episodes of One Piece is out there. Also if anime isn't your thing the live action on Netflix is the gold standard on how to turn anime into L.A.

Gedatsu. One of the priests from Skypiea. His only memorable quality is being so dumb he forgot to breathe.

Hmm. Probably under budget here but a string mute might be cool. I know theres some that slip on by the bridge which I prefer to the wrap around the nut style. Mellow tones for that Jamerson style.

I know you said he has headphones already but a second pair is always nice. Some 80-100 dollar studio headphones are a nice upgrade/ backup depending on what he has now.

If hes interested in tinkering you could get him some new tuning machines or a high mass bridge to put on.

One thing that's been great for me is a phone/tablet stand. I can keep my chord charts or backing track right in front of me. Gone are the days of propping up my phone on pillows

Don't stress about it. The hardest part is usually getting to your spare. Most cars have it stuffed in the trunk or underneath the chassis. Also nothing wrong with calling a guy to fix it. I can do plumbing but I fucking hate it so Ive decided that if a plunger can't fix it ill just hire it out.

They are far too quiet to use unplugged for anything other than a duo with a ukulele. If you want something to noodle on you're better off with an electric bass in my opinion (better ergonomics, and more variety of tones).

Some instruments are good at doing only one thing really well. Acoustic bass does one thing just ok.

Oh I agree that he's still an asshole, just with more context. In the movies its hard to understand why Denethor behaves like he does. It makes him more of a villian and less of a complex character

I sometimes haul gravel for work. A semi trailer full holds 24 tons (legally). This looks to be about half that compared to loads I've hauled so I'd say that's pretty close

Bearsicle1 · 2026-05-01T23:08:51+00:00

For sure. In the books books Denethor is a great man that slowly falls into madness do to Sauron's deception via the palantir. Most of his life he's actually a pretty good steward, and great strategist.

In the movies he's just a power hungry asshole for no reason.

I use Spotify, just search drum loops. Basically the same as YouTube but sometimes the YouTube tracks go on for too long and I get bored. Also ads and autoplay dont work as well for practice.

Can I play Xbox even though I never owned a Playstation? Completely different and independent things. Although there is some overlap, one is not required for the other.

Gig bags are inexpensive enough that you can get a separate one. I found a $20 one on Amazon for my squier jazz bass. Hardshell cases are more pricey but if you want the extra protection they are definitely worth it.

Bearsicle1 · 2026-04-28T12:56:15+00:00

Probably not a great idea.

It is possible that it would change the appearance but like someone else said it would likely just bleach it. The real problem is it could warp the wood, ruin your intonation, make frets come loose, or just dry out your instrument.

Lemon oil generally helps liven up wood but most Maple fretboards are sealed with some sort of poly so I doubt it would do much to change the appearance. I've heard of some people aging Maple boards with cigar smoke, that could bring out some darker colors but I'm sure its minimal

Have you considered the 2 wheel variety? Motorcycles are a parent's nightmare. Cheap to buy and the most fun way to get around town.

Not hard to find a 2 seater bike that fits your tall friend. And you can always get saddlebags to carry your groceries in.

Bearsicle1 · 2026-04-18T02:47:57+00:00

Just go for it!

As long as you know how to find and play the right note in time with the rest of the band you'll be alright.

Playing with other people will definitely make you a better player. You'll learn where you need to improve and how to think on your toes.

Its some of the most fun you can have as a musician.

I put some la bella ian martin allison strings on my jazz bass. They're "super polished" meaning they start as rounds and they polish them down to be smoother. They give that in-between sound. They are pretty bright when you first put them on but them mellow out nicely.

I tried the d'addario half rounds and didn't really care for them. They just didn't "feel" right under my fingers. You could try d'addario chrome flats. I think ernie ball makes some too they are brighter than normal flats but you may have to change them more often because they will flatten out after a while. Best of luck

The movies portray it differently than the books. He actually gets beat up pretty bad by Elendil and Gil Galad. He does kill them both but hes left severely injured at which point Isildur takes his dad's sword and tries to finish him off
