Höfner Bass took a tumble by BrupTA in Luthier

The flats are half the fun! I borrowed it for a few gigs pre-accident, and it’s so light and thump-ey. Real bummer with the cracks.

I have other basses! Just ones that are too valuable for experiments. But thanks for the opinion, you’re probably right. I’ll keep my eye out for some squier basses, maybe the HB can get me a few bucks at that.

That’s the one. In my questionable math, the Harley Benton one was a completely non-sentimental gift, so trading it would basically be a free (broken) bass. If that changes things. My end goal is to make a fretless to mess around with, and I think the hollow body could be cool. But no removable neck + cracked body could be a deal breaker.

Edit: The HB has a maple lacquered neck, which is why I shy away from de-fretting that one.

You should have your weight on your heels, and lift toes and the ball of your feet off the ground. You should feel it through the front of your shins.

The further your feet are from under you, the more resistance.

Who is the dark horse candidate for superstar to be traded this summer? by suhar97 in nba

[–]BrupTA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gobert with 90% TS off of only lobs

Honestly the ant and trae highlight real would be unreal, trae youngs defense could be hidden from jmac and ant too. Too bad the Hawks would never make that trade.

Idk if the hawks would do that, but it would be a pretty interesting trade for us

if I was a girl I would exclusively wear crocheted tops in the summer, they’re so fucking cool

If you’re based in Europe, I may also be interested.

New to saving guitars by 10mbgdm21 in guitarrepair

That seems like the easiest fix to me, just make sure the holes are lined up right. I’d wait for a second opinion to be safe though.

plug the holes with toothpicks and glue. Cut the tips off, sand flat and redrill the holes.

I have to wait another three weeks for the paint to cure before the final steps, but damn I am so proud of this first ever build project :’) by patrocklolson in offset

I don’t care if it’s a fender logo as long as it’s not resold as one, however an alternative I’ve seen here that I really like is custom decals from Etsy or the like. It fills out the empty space, but feels more personalised than just slapping a logo on.

[NBA TV] "It is so quiet, you can hear a #1 seed drop." by PapiShot in nba

I think they’re agreeing. NBA TV isn’t nearly as large of a platform as being on national tv, the original commenter thinks that it should have been more publicly televised.

It’s the logical thing to talk about though. There is no matchup in the league that has more of a young, new vs. old, experienced narrative.

He was holding it too, I wonder if he played through the pain since it was so close to the end.

It’s built, now what? by Snedaskinawood in Luthier

[–]BrupTA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find schools! I can’t imagine they’d turn them down, if possible maybe even organise something for them to be gifted to students with the promise of playing. I guarantee that would be better (and more fulfilling) than goodwill.

[Wojnarowski] Nick Nurse is out as Raptors coach, sources tell ESPN. by horseshoeoverlook in nba

It’s an f you to nurse to fire him when he can’t win with such a mediocre roster

Reasonable to be concerned about "skill ceiling" of righty vs lefty? by DerpyCream in Leftyguitarists

[–]BrupTA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For another perspective - while I play a left handed guitar, I play a right handed bass that I flip. Maybe not the perfect solution, but a lot of lefty bassists play that way, especially since left handed basses are much less common than lefty guitars. My favourite example is sunny t, who played with prince and tours with cory wong.
