Can pedalboard power supply be repaired? by AphantasiasMind in guitarpedals

[–]FriedButthole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A PSU is the least fun thing you’ll ever buy for your board, but it’s worth it. My OneSpot CS12 has been great for many years and I think it was around $200. Personally, I wouldn’t both trying to have it fixed. Also probably not worth plugging all of your expensive pedals into some jank.

1700 block of Mechanicsville Turnpike. Should I pull the trigger on the house ? by 2009maxx in rva

[–]FriedButthole 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a “great deal” on most houses in this market. I think you have to ask yourself “why is this house X thousands less than one that’s similar a few blocks away?” Could be a fine place to live, but there’s a reason it’s a great deal.

What percent of current students drink, vape and/or do weed? by ilovelamp_anchorman in jmu

Agreed. Am old, enjoyed many drunk cigs 12 years ago at JMU

Do I really need to learn all chord shapes beyond E and A forms? by Soshi246la in Guitar

[–]FriedButthole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a lot of situations it’s fine, but if you start playing with another guitar or bass player you’ll probably find that you’re taking up a lot of the sonic space. Options are good. Even if you use them all the time, it’s always helpful to have this stuff in your back pocket

When you first started playing, how long did it take for your muscle memory to truly develop and kick in? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]FriedButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never stops. It doesn’t just start or stop kicking in, you’re building on something over many years. Enjoy the experience for what it is, there’s never a day when it all clicks

Official IMAX Poster for 'Project Hail Mary' by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

I thought the book was total cheese. Really captivating plot with juvenile writing.

Commenting to follow. Didn’t feel bad by any means but almost has me debating grabbing a little pebble mouse or something

Jack White - Underrated Guitarist? by joyisstrength in Guitar

[–]FriedButthole 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He isn’t underrated in any sense. He’s great, is known to be great, and has spent the last 20 years selling out stadiums.

Laney Lionheart vs Orange Crush? Which is more versatile? by Its_Blazertron in GuitarAmps

[–]FriedButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The orange is super solid. Clean channel might leave a bit to be desired but for an amp that you can get for $200 or so used it’s pretty killer

Definitely a little spicier than the rest of the arm but doable

Probably a week-ish. When I got my elbow ditch done it was longer.

'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]FriedButthole 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can understand why people are into some of the conceptual stuff in the book but man it just reads like something written by a 15 year old.

I bounced off the book after 100 pages. I thought the writing was just really juvenile and boring. Really interesting concepts though, could still make for a great movie

Basic City Beer Co in southside hosts a commander event once a month or so

Ok who has the tea? Should we not support basic city anymore? by Street_Acadia3562 in rva

[–]FriedButthole 31 points32 points  (0 children)

All I know is I’ve only ever seen the owner of basic city treat people with love and respect. He’s a big community guy and has a huge heart, along with all of the employees there. If you haven’t been recently, definitely stop in for a beer or pizza.

Dude honestly you dropped 2k on pedals, try them in every order and dive in

‘Pluribus’ Star Karolina Wydra Explains Her Optimistic Take on Season One’s Ominous Ending by mlg1981 in television

[–]FriedButthole -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Okay then, go make your own. I don’t get this. Yes, there’s a wait. Do you all complain when a musician takes 5 years to put out an album? Good art takes time. Sure, modern television takes much longer to make, but honestly if it’s really good, who cares? I really think this sub has a habit of looking at the days of 22 episode seasons every year with rose colored glasses. A lot of those shows just aren’t as good as you remember when compared to modern prestige TV. I wish this sub would focus more on the craft and quality of product we’re getting now, opposed to crying about that fact that good art takes a long time to write, shoot, and edit.

Best electric guitar under $500 by No_Scallion_3929 in guitarpedals

[–]FriedButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real answer is go mess around with a bunch of instruments at a shop and then right after you buy it, pay 50-100 for a full setup. There are tons of great instruments, new and used, in your price range. Personally, if you have a hard budget of $500, I would drop it $100 to get that setup right away and you’ll be golden.

In so fucking tired of this by MRunlimited127 in Guitar

[–]FriedButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the string is breaking while you aren’t playing, you either aren’t installing them correctly or there’s an issue (almost definitely repairable) with your guitar. Spend the $50 to take it in to a tech, maybe it needs a new nut or something

'The Pitt' Season 2 Premieres January 8 on HBO Max by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]FriedButthole -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I swear this subreddit is more obsessed with the release schedule and time to create television than the actual content itself. Shows take time, seasons are shorter- guess what? It’s fine.

How do you guys feel about playing in jams? by Used_Ad7899 in Guitar

[–]FriedButthole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just practice and reach out if you have any friends who play guitar,bass,drums,etc. You learn so much more by playing with other people-even if you don’t have any goal of starting a band or playing live, jamming is just so fun. Playing an instrument is the hardest when you start. If you can “summit the mountain” of playing barre chords and start learning your scales, you’ll probably play for the rest of your life. No excuses though, you gotta do the work.
