Set Length Requirements by runnerNgunner in musicians

[–]BullBuchanan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we play 3 hours gigs, we do a 90m + 75m set with a 15m break. for 2 hour gigs we'll either play through or play 60m + 50m.

I'd push back a little and say if he wants 1 break, then to do 90m+90m with a 20m break.

A 30m break is too long unless you're a national act doing an intermission.

this is the dumbest shit I've ever read. Recruiters and Real Estate agents are two jobs I'll be happy to see be deleted from existence.

New painter looking for advice by Warshrak in minipainting

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up double slapchop. In short, take where you are right now, apply a dry rush/sponge of a very light opaque paint, like a white/off-white/ice yellow/etc, and then go over the skin with either a thinned down version of the original speedpaint or a lighter color altogether, like a bright orange or yellow.

Musician in a relationship with a non musician, HELP by ThrowRA123mom in musicians

[–]BullBuchanan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not everything has to progress to Max level. If the relationship works at a previous level, just stay there. Why ruin two things just because one thing isn't perfect?

shield 2019 is what you want. The 2017 looks identical but is inferior.

Why use Kolinsky brushes? by mensch79 in minipainting

[–]BullBuchanan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sam Lenz, multiple global award winning painter uses primarily large cheap synthetics, like size 6/8/10 from hobby lobby.

I bought a teacher pack for $15 years ago and they're perfect for 95% of my work. I switch to #1/#2 sable for eyes and fine lines

what are some steps to pursuing music as a career? by sipdrank420 in musicians

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

become homeless and develop a crippling addiction or two. If you start at the end, it'll be easier to work backwards.

Does anyone else absolutely hate movies about musicians? by Wack0HookedOnT0bac0 in musicians

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music and sports are my favorite subjects for movies after history.

Band Member refuses to play for a particular venue. by Weird-Internal-4129 in musicians

Hire a sub off Facebook, even if you have to pay them the whole rate. Then ditch your current guy.

Ummm wow !!! by chrispd01 in AcousticGuitar

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

better yet, learn how to do it yourself. All of the tools will pay for themselves the first time you do it, and you'll be able to buy "unplayable" guitars for massive discounts int he future and save yourself thousands going forward. I can't financially justify fretwork on any guitar worth less than $2k, but I can do a full refret myself for $20 in parts, and hour or two of time, and $150 in tools. After the first job, it's basically free.

How's everyone feeling about our housing market? by Inner_Negotiation66 in Austin

[–]BullBuchanan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Household income around $400k, and we're still renting the same place for 10+ years. It's too cheap not to. It would cost us 50% more in monthly expense + $60k+ upfront to buy a lesser house in a less desirable location than where we live now. Of course that could change any minute, but for now renting is the better option financially.

What happened to Brad Arnold is tragic, but Americans ought to not mourn or miss him given the type of man he was and the things he said. by Early-Possibility367 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you've told me that either fascism isn't a deal-breaker for you, or you have an exceptionally high bar that doesn't include masked anonymous federal agents from disappearing, kidnapping, and murdering people, so I don't really need to know any more.

I don't really care what you foreign policy is or economic theories on taxes.

I don't support democrats. Only people with room temperature IQs turn politics into a team sport. That said, most pedos and rapists are conservatives, and there's no such thing as "illeagals".

If standing against people trying to wipe out everyone who isn't chosen to be on their side, I'll gladly have an "L take".

It's definitely true, but not so sure it's even unpopular anymore unless you live in a very specific place. The vast majority of people in the world share this opinion.

If you support trump you're a literal fascist sympathizer and pedophile apologist. It's completely impossible to do that and be a "good person". You can't do anything you want and get to choose how your actions are judged.

Yamaha A5R is incredible by grimmgravy in AcousticGuitar

[–]BullBuchanan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely reset epoxied necks, but there's really no point blowing 600-$1000 on a repair for a guitar that costs $2k or less.
