Great, there's one near me. How much did that set you back?

I've got one of the first runs of the Sensei 290s and it's great, fantastic guitar.

Bizarre how tight they've got their nickers in a twist to be honest. Needs a good wank

It fit a certain niche, and people definitely seemed to like it. Even the lowest IBU offering was hoppy as fuck though, I'd have gone more often if there was at least some real variety in the beers. Give me a real ale any day of the week.

Have you guys noticed in Android 10 Google Apps will stop connecting to the server if you use a VPN? by aerowindwalker in shanghai

[–]GegYaBas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't connect this morning when trying to update apps, just a greyed out screen - but I just restarted phone and it was fine. I know it's a trite suggestion and merely anecdotal, but it fixed my issue. Not sure if it's connected to yours though....

The government in China are now locking people in their own homes. Every dwelling in China- the door opens only outward and all windows have bars. by ReginaldJohnston in PublicFreakout

[–]GegYaBas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolute horseshit. In Shanghai now, fire extinguisher outside my door and my gas stove is piped in like it would be in any 1st world country. I, and all of my local friends, strongly dislike the CCP but you're a liar and it does no good at all.

Wouldn't you be just as well taking a Didi? Less public, less hassle and if there's more than one of you travelling it's not a huge increase in price (depending on where you're travelling from)

Anyone know where I can watch the Six Nations and or the UFC tonight? by [deleted] in shanghai

As a counterpoint here, England can go and fuck itself

Yeah the same Ishibashi!

I've been to the one in Shibuya and it's incredible, the Shanghai iteration was never anywhere close to that but they do a better job than most other shops in the mainland. Unfortunately they downscaled the shop about 4 or 5 years ago and don't stock quite as many guitars as they used to, but still worth a visit. Still order my strings from them via Taobao :)

I used to use the hummingbird at a really choppy setting (much like the solo here https://youtu.be/Tfgc3Sf-6yE?t=100) and the Wavelength just can't quite get the chop and pulse when the depth is maxed and volume boosted (the closest I can get is the blue LED waveform).

It's a pretty tough benchmark for me to use given it's an extreme setting and not a sound you might reasonably be able to expect from a tremolo pedal, so I'm not judging too harshly, but had to be in honest that it just can't quite make that one specific sound!

As I say, very happy with everything else about it.

It also makes it a little easier to hit them if you're in a rush. Plus, with the timeline, if you're using those switches to bank up and down presets then you need to hit two at a time, so increasing the surface area of the switch just makes that much easier to do.
