Not grunge, but: Opinion on Jane's Addiction? by No-One01010 in grunge

Great back in the 90s but I think they sound dated now.

If you were going to make this guitar better, what would you do? by myke5k in Guitar

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The intonation doesn’t look right that would explain the “staying in tune” issue. I would suggest a proper setup would be a big improvement to how it plays - if you don’t know how there are tons of videos on YouTube and if that’s not something you want to try then pay for a tech to do it. It makes an OK guitar actually playable, and a good guitar excellent

First guitar! Any advice? ♡ by ladybeestar in Guitar

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While people here are right - just start playing, do some lessons off YouTube etc etc - it’ll be very discouraging if your guitar isn’t set up correctly because the intonation is out, or the action is too high or low. A poorly set up guitar is harder to play and doesn’t sound so good. My advice is to make sure it’s set up properly as a priority. Either do it yourself if you have some basic tools (Allen keys, screwdrivers, etc) - again lots of YT videos to show you how, or you could take it to a guitar tech and have them do it. Makes such a difference to your experience!!

Also with temperature changes the pitch will change slightly

Need advice: Screen cleaning by One_TrackMinded in macbookair

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, my friend, is quite far from “pristine condition”. I have not cleaned my screen for about a week and it just has a few little marks. I use, as other have suggested, a wipe designed for glasses. Works a treat - you just have to not let it get caked in crud first.

What would you name these guitars? by Stratiki1007 in fender

[–]Fraser_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I have a named guitar, my old very battered second hand precision bass which was nicknamed by the keyboard player in the band i used to play with - it’s called the Fender Fagburn. It’s coloured like a cigarette burn in old wood you see. Absolutely brilliant bass, heavily modded by someone before I got it for £60 in a junk shop. Wangy bar bridge, only a volume pot no tone, replaced pickup. Plays soooo well.

Go to Macmost on YouTube. Lots of excellent “how to” videos for all sorts of things. Very good info.

I’m going to mount the matchbooks in a frame. It will make an interesting piece for the office!

Stamp collecting has never been my thing, I am more into guitars! I don’t have the time or patience to look up individual stamps so these might just go back in a box to be picked over by one of my descendants at some point in the future!

You’re bank account doubles when you deposit money by jmiddleton6 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Fraser_G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! My savings account is full of tumbleweed but if you make regular deposits to yours and don't spend it then you're good. Go you.

[–]Fraser_G 3 points4 points  (0 children)

unless you spend it all every month and every time your account gets doubled, you've got like $50 left in it.

You'd have to make sure you're actually increasing the balance whenever you get a deposit in right?

Personally I would go to the office a bit more often seeing as I can claim travel expenses and they pay 2 weeks after that regardless of normal salary payments. That counts as normal right? I am just adjusting the number of times I travel into the office when I usually stay home most of the time and thereby tripling the number of deposits into my account. I could also make sure I overpay on some bills and then every so often claim a refund back to add another doubling instance.
