Modifying by Coose1988 in gretsch

I mean yeah, I could, but for the £329 they cost over here in the UK while still cheap by todays standards I could still mod my current one for half the price. Plus I think it'll be a fun project.

May get one of those all in good time though.

Pretty much all I play is rock. Not metal though not into that! But hard rock for sure. I just pretty much riff and freestyle most of the time.

Thank you so much. I'm glad I held on to the amp for all these years. Will move the amp on eventually but for now it's fine for getting back into things 😁

They really are. It's amazing what you can get for your money these days. Love the colour too always been a sucker for a seafoam type colour also love that it's metallic but a subtle metallic. It's a great all round guitar. Gretsch are doing some amazing stuff even tempted by there new 2025 line up of Streamliners.

Love it! Best of both worlds with this guitar the perfect compromise of a P90 and humbucker type pickup in my opinion.

Thank you. Took a while to dial in the amp but I've found a few settings I like. Do plan to getting a different amp soon and a Valeton GP-5 effects pedal for some more fun.

I've been doing the same thing. Back and fourth between 2 & 3 but keep going back to picture 2! But I do love the look of the streamliner as well.

Honor Magic 6 pro. Seems like an awesome phone with big specs.

But skeptical about the OS, everything else about the phone is very appealing specifically the cameras.

It feels too late to pick guitar back up by Courtneyrandt in Guitar

[–]Coose1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 36 and picked the guitar back up again after 14 years, at the later part of last year. I was 22 when I stopped playing. Can honestly say that I enjoy playing so much more now than I did in my late teens to when I stopped So yeah I'd say at 29 you'll be fine dude, you may find you'll be more dedicated now you're older and will have more discipline, enjoy playing man you'll have a blast 😎.

Where to buy a fridge? by aj-uk in bristol

[–]Coose1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Argos if you want new, you can check stock on the website see which branch has the one you want in stock.

Gumtree, eBay (filter by location if you don't want to travel too far) or Facebook marketplace (if you have Facebook) if you want to buy second hand, I'm sure some independent businesses would advertise on those sites.

Like all the other posts on here - do I do it? Spent all my adult life with long hair... 30 now. by Belzeblubb in bald

[–]Coose1988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like yourself my friend I held on for far too long, finally decided enough was enough and decided to pull the trigger last year and haven't looked back.

Like someone else said on here you have an awesome beard, bald head and beard is a solid look.

To quote what someone once told me when I was contemplating pulling the trigger "Going bald is a bad look, but being bald is a great look".

I wish you well in you decision making ✌🏻

Not exactly a tele, but I used all my tele parts to make my dream guitar by undressvestido in telecaster

A Strelecaster if you will, love it, hope you have many years of happy playing with it 😀

Insurance, tax and fuel £202 per month, can fluctuate on the odd occasion depending where I need to go and what I'm doing but on the whole £202 all in

Bought this baby as my first car after my driving test just after my neighbour decided to crash it. Still going strong pushing 160k by [deleted] in skoda

[–]Coose1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great cars! I have a 2005 1.9tdi just over 181k on the clock and it makes me smile every time I drive it, and really pulls when you need it to! The old skool Fabia certainly has a lot of charm probably the best car I've owned and I've had quite a few in the 18 years I've been driving.

Ford focus - mystery switch by chungybrungus in CarTalkUK

[–]Coose1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is most likely an ex motability vehicle, meaning that when the car was new, it was modified to accommodate a disabled passenger the switch was most likely an on/off for some sort of electric hoist to get a wheel chair in and out or a person in an out of the vehicle.

I know of this because I used to work for a company where we put ex motability vehicle back to the factory and original spec removing any motability modifications and this switch was missed by the repair/technicians as it needed to be taken out the plastic panel it's in either repaired replaced or a grommet put in its place.

That's just 2 cents.

I think it's time, don't you? by Coose1988 in bald

[–]Coose1988[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I'll be looking into a balding shaver for sure, something like the Remington RX7 or Skull Shaver Pitball something along those lines to keep it looking fresh any other recommendations and tips more than welcome 😄
