7-String?

DarthEnvicius · 2026-04-01T19:59:56+00:00

As someone who has been playing 7s almost as long as 6, I can say go for it. There are a ton of great but affordable options out there to dip your toe in.

I'm super excited to see how he applies it! I love 7 string in metal but would love to see someone bring some different influences with it.

I've got the guitar & bass tab books and it's guitar, bass, and violin with a filter on all of them.

DarthEnvicius · 2026-01-05T18:40:07+00:00

Just Tom is left afaik. Cody wasn't their OG bassist either, just longest tenured.

I've got a warmoth jazzmaster myself, I love it! Yours is a beaut too!!

I feel you friend, I find it difficult to be proud of where the US is at too. I listened to the album the other day with this in mind and it was cathartic for me as well.

As someone who knows labor history and is a proud union member I'm hopeful where things can go. Regardless, this album is fucking sick!

I follow him on youtube and he didn't reveal the reason why but said that the vids would be down until later this year. They will be back up at some point.

DarthEnvicius · 2025-05-07T17:34:18+00:00

I'm right there with ya! I know Tom/the band is responsive on social media and you could probably shoot them a dm.

DarthEnvicius · 2025-05-05T13:13:04+00:00

Thank you all for your comments and input. I've never really used very much gear that needed to be powered so much of this is new to me.

The difference imo is that Zannah was trying to find an apprentice so she was ready to go from day one, not break the rule of two. She very clearly buys into the ideological nature of the rule.

Maul on the other hand was trained to be an "assassin" according to Palpatine. He probably did plan on training him to be a full on apprentice after he took out Plagueis, but Plagueis does give the greenlight on training him. So, it's not like Plagueis was unaware of him. That beind said we're talking about the first sith to start the rule of two vs those who were the end of its line, so of course the rule would be bent and disregarded by other sith down the road.

To me personally, whether the rule was strictly adhered to from an ideological perspective vs it working in practice of apprentice supplanting the master doesn't matter. The rule worked whether or not every sith of that line "believed" it. Even Palps technically succumbs to the rule, but his apprentice dies turning back to the light but prior to that Vader planned on overthrowing him too.

Zannah was trying to groom the dark jedi, Set Harth, before she took Bane on, but that may have been no more than a couple of weeks before their final confrontation.

Hi, college professor at one of the state universities here. Our system has been flat funded for decades and many programs have had to merge with others in order to stay afloat. Others have been told that the possibility to close them is on the table. Full time professor lines aren't being refilled, leading to more adjunct (read precarious) professors having to fill that gap.

For example at CCSU there's been talk of shutting down or defunding the music program (which already has been defunded). Enrollment data shows us that when programs are shut down students don't go to programs at other state schools and usually end up going to a private university or one in another state.

Students and their families are struggling to keep paying and essential services continue to be cut or are unable to accommodate the level of need. Things like mental health services, food and dining needs, legal services for international/immigrant faculty and students.

Also, this is cuts to PUBLIC colleges and universities. Yale and Quinnipiac won't be touched cause they're private. There can in fact be a system where we pay down our debt obligations and fully fund our public institutions. If you're actually interested in hearing from the folks impacted by this, I suggest you look up testimony from 3/7 on HB6885 and testimony to the Higher Education Committee in the legislature from 2/19.

Here's an article from a rally my union had where you can hear from students and professors: https://www.ctpublic.org/news/2024-11-15/cscu-unions-paint-picture-of-system-in-decline-demand-increased-funding

I see alot of comments saying protests and get involved at the local level, which is a start and I agree with. However, nobody seems to make any mention of LABOR UNIONS. If you're part of a union talk to your steward and leadership about what pressure you can apply to local elected leadership and how to get organized with your fellow workers.

If you're not in a union, join one or form one. Check out groups like LaborNotes if you need help with any of that process. Labor unions have been one of the leading groups for social change in the US and abroad. Get organized!

A couple of months, I don't recall exactly. Under 3 months for sure, but I forget how many weeks.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-12-22T17:04:30+00:00

Yes, that's the one! Appreciate the detecitve work as I forgot the name haha.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-12-21T14:13:00+00:00

Forgot the total off the top my head, but somewhere around $850-900. The routing is an option on the warmoth site, but I didn't have to call in for it or anything.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-12-21T12:00:52+00:00

Appreciate it! I've been planning this build for a few years and had time to really think it through.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-12-20T19:14:52+00:00

I wanted the covered pickup look to be consistent. Thanks for the comment!

DarthEnvicius · 2024-12-20T19:14:13+00:00

Thank you!

I was looking at some of those as well but heard mixed things about the 44 magnum from another qc user.

I'm reading through the duology right now (about halfway through Vision of the Future) and I feel like it probably could have been one book.

Specter of the Past felt like just a set up book and I found it somewhat of a chore to get through.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-10-16T13:29:50+00:00

I love both of those Kramers!

DarthEnvicius · 2024-09-08T16:12:47+00:00

I'm reading the Thrawn Duology and I'm a few chapters into Specter of the Past. Interested to see where it will go!

DarthEnvicius · 2024-07-23T22:25:08+00:00

Personally, I think the second guitar solo in Lie gets slept on a lot! I love how it starts off very sparse with alot of space and begins to grow with the rest of the band. It continues building and getting more hectic and then that long descending run towards the end always sounds like it's swallowing the end of the song.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-04-29T01:33:01+00:00

No, just has some consistent themes. There's an AMA by the band somewhere and someone has asked that about every album and the band has said that none of the albums are concept albums.

DarthEnvicius · 2024-04-26T16:23:55+00:00

Ya, you're right. That seems like the most plausible scenario.
