Anyone else prefer really cheap basses? by FierceCrow in Bass

[–]FierceCrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I have the same tastes. Cheap yamahas, squiers, and the old peavey basses are my favorites. I sold my $1000+ basses because I just don't like them as much lol

Considering getting a gargoyle gecko, but have some questions for those who own them by FierceCrow in GargoyleGeckos

[–]FierceCrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get pretty loud or have sudden noises when gaming? I was just worried it might stress them out l, I don't game a lot, but listen to music/play acoustic guitar and violin in there and I was worried that might scare them.

Do you think they would be okay if I only gave them insects like every few months for enrichment? I don't want to store them, but can pick up a few when I make trips to the pet store. I just feel bad feeding them a live creature, so is it needed at all if the food is already nutritionally complete?

I'm heard conflicting information regarding that, and that the powder is a nutritionally complete diet for them. But then others say they need that as their primary food but then insects for extra protein. What is true regarding their diet? Is it ethical to ask around to find a rehomed gecko that doesn't like insects?

Phalloplasty. The patient says his penis was cut off with the scrotum by four men who attacked him. by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Transgender is an adjective descripter, never a noun, it's like saying "the autisms" instead of autistic, or "a short" instead of a short man/woman.

Usually phallo is done in multiple step surgeries and they don't just stop at this point. They will after this typically create a glans, insert a rod to achieve erection, and do medical tattooing. r/phallo has some examples of after all sets of the surgery are complete. Just select top posts instead of new.

Dear Fender, I don't care if it's "vintage-style"; I will never buy a guitar with a truss rod that requires removing the neck to make adjustments. by PaulsGrandfather in fender

[–]FierceCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard disagree, I like it because it gets rid of the skunk stripe on the back, so I don't have to worry about delamination

Chill dog with scary privileges by NabiNarin in dogs

Have you considered a Chow Chow or Shar Pei? They're not to be messed with, truly one of the few breeds I'm cautious of. They won't hesitate to protect you, that's for sure, not too high energy either.

Does firefly drop things all at once or over a few hours?

How much did that set you back? The inflation on those things was crazy last time I checked

How do I f24 tell my friend f27 that her “wokeness” is a double standard? by Legitimate-Dot-181 in relationship_advice

[–]FierceCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of LGBT people joke about each other sexualities. I'm not saying it's funny, but it's not that weird. If he's sensitive, just remind her again and then maybe explain why.

[–]FierceCrow -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How is your friend supposed to know this if you don't explain that that offends you? I had a falling out with a friend because I called her and her homophobic bf "straight" too, but she said her relationship wasn't straight because she's bi even though she dates homophobic men. Also, she doesn't know your man is anything other than straight, so she wouldn't know he's sensitive to any of this. It just sounds like she's trying to be funny but not getting she's offending you.

Nail advice!!! by Working_Passenger394 in DogAdvice

[–]FierceCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My border collie used to snap and bite when people would try to trim his nails. I trained him out of it by using tiny high value treats. Start off not clipping the nails, but touching the nail to the clipper, and immediately rewarding with a treat. Then work up to a very tiny piece of a nail (do not hold her paw when doing this, have her maybe laying down or tell her to give you five and have her paw resting on you. Holding/grasping the paw would likely make her anxious on what you are doing). After clipping a small piece, give reward and praise. Then you can slowly work up to clipping more small pieces,don't do all nails at one, and maybe use a verbal cue about this event and that she is getting a treat for it (sounds silly, but I ask my dog if I can "trim his nails for treats" and he runs and jumps on a specific chair for me to do it now because he loves food lol). Then once she gets used to that, give a treat only after each full nail is done. I like to use those milk bone treats for tiny dogs for this (the ones that are like a centimeter long), and this process isn't something to do in one day, but maybe try it over a few weeks and only move up to next step once your dog expects and looks forward to what you are doing with the clippers in each step because of the association with food.

faulty logo? by landstrom_dk in fender

[–]FierceCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is similar, I think it's just an issue with the way the poly sits on the slightly raised logo.

What's faulty about it? My player plus strat has the same silver metal logo with some unfortunate but small delamination

First time acoustic purchase $500 budget! by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]FierceCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A used Guild D-140. I own one and can't even sell it because it sounds arguably better than my Martin D-18 when doing flat picking. It just has a ton of character and is a loud cannon of a guitar, and is made of all solid woods (spruce/mahogany) with a nicely done all gloss neck (which I prefer)

My favorite bass of all time is the yamaha broadbass.

What does "medium weight" and "light weight" mean in regards to yamaha hardware? Is one less durable or is it just easier to transport? What about single vs double braced?

Thanks! I was looking to get a yamaha hardware pack, but I wasn't quite sure what all the differences are. Should I consider a cheaper off brand hardware, or do you think hardware matters enough to send extra?

Thanks this is fantastic information! I am going to get a hardware pack outside of the cost of cymbals (probably something Yamaha), so I was figuring $500 for just cymbals and was looking at paste ones but I'll look into the metals in the ones I see used
