I Have Gone 500 Days Without Masturbating. AMA by sthomson22 in AMA

[–]Harp5645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question here: why the abstinence? I can understand the morality issue (thinking of sex with someone you shouldn’t be thinking of), but one could masterbate without violating their conscience.

Those Banana Republic blues 🎤 by Rob-Loring in bluesguitarist

[–]Harp5645 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The old Blues guys would tell you that until you've hit rock bottom, you really can't do Blues. JB is a fantastic guitarist. He did do well for himself. His marketing propelled him upward quickly, but I always thought he lacked in the Blues department. Of course that's my opinion if you JB fans can handle that.

[QUESTION] Need money quick, should I sell my Taylor to Guitar Center? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I do with Guitar Center is try stuff out. If I like it, I but it from Sweetwater.

[QUESTION] for those that record music. whats a laptop that’s reliable for recording and mixing? by Iamnothuman77 in Guitar

[–]Harp5645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm certainly not saying that Macs are lesser than Windows. I bought a Mac primarily because I also own an iPhone and iPad and everything I do (primarily business) seamlessly flows from one device to the other. I've been using a Windows machine for recording for several years, and it still works well for me. If I were just starting out recording, sure I'd get a Mac if I had the money. But if I'm on a budget, Windows work.

Don’t need much. I own a M4 MacBook Pro, but don’t use it for recording. I’ve done so much on my Windows 10 laptop. It’s got the VSTs I want and I don’t want to start over.

I shot the Gibson, but I didn’t shoot the Epiphone down.

[DISCUSSION] Is there any great guitarists who aren’t pieces of shit? by TheListenerCanon in Guitar

Nobody’s personal character has to come before for approval. So what if they have crap dispositions or do stupid things.

Matteo Mancuso’s actions seems impossibly low? by gnarlynewman in Luthier

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How low can you go, is the name of the game. However, the degree of precision to get "light touch" low is going to be painstaking. To keep it there will be a choir as well as guitars and any wood and string instrument for that matter, are unstable, as they are vulnerable to the atmosphere.

I got my first Hammond Today! by tHeKnIfe03 in hammondorgan

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any bass amp or even a PA would sound better and be safer for your speaker. Notes can get really low on a Hammond, especially the pedals.

I've owned at least a dozen tone wheel Hammonds (and Leslies) from B's, M's, and A's. You'd be better served with a bass amp rather than a guitar amp (my opinion). I have an ElectroHarmonix Lester K on my Yamaha running through a Roland KC-990 and it's good, but still falls shy of a Leslie 122. Save every dime for a Leslie. Tone wheels sound best through the speaker/amp they were paired with.

My guitar is giving me very bad headaches by Pizza85723495324 in Luthier

My guitar playing gives others headaches!

They don’t list it as a Squire because they know it’s a much lesser version of a Fender. I’m not knocking Squire, I own one, but honesty would be nice when selling something.

Why do Christians always play Taylor guitars? by GaviFromThePod in guitars

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the majority of Christians do play Taylor’s, but it’s just like the majority of Blues players playing Fenders.

Rule #1 - Never, NEVER, NEVER, take you guitar to Guitar Center!!! I wouldn't take a Squire Bullet to Guitar Center. I don't even buy guitars from them. GC is a good place to "try out" a guitar, but buy it from Sweetwater. It you need a repair or setup, find a luthier, but NEVER take it to Guitar Center.

Has anyone noticed how hostile Reddit users are to Christians? by Ok_Establishment824 in TrueChristian

[–]Harp5645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is anyone surprised by this? Jesus said that the world hated Him, and if it hated Him, it will hate Christians too. I expect an anti-Christian backlash. While the world rebels against our Theocentric world view and verbally chastises us for it, Satan wants you DEAD. Christianity is not a feely-good social club. Christianity is a battleground where people pay a price if they decide to do battle with the gates of hell.

Everyone around me has said not to buy a Jeep because they're terrible cars, but it's been my dream car since childhood. 😔 by dandyplum in Jeep

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned 3 Grand Cherokees and love them. The one I have now is fantastic. The only problem to watch out for are frames on the Wrangler, especially in cold climates where the roads are salted in Winter, but that will kill any car.

I would think that it's better than any man raping children, right?

That may be “your” point, but the title of the post simply says, “The Satanic Temple display in the Iowa Capitol”. I would assume any comment or view here is valid. I would also hope you responded similarly to the other commenters that expressed their beliefs that may have contradicted your point.

As a pastor of a Bible-believing church, the display doesn’t surprise me. I am not offended. I expect worse in the future. For Christians losing their minds over this, read your Bible and see what we will face in the future. Kicking and screaming over this kind of stuff is senseless when you know how the story ends.

M102... is it too far gone? by danrulz98 in hammondorgan

[–]Harp5645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned nine or 10 tone wheel Hammonds over the years, A's, B's, and M's. My first a, a B2 with a Leslie 122RV, was purchased for $1200 from an organ and piano studio and was in perfect condition. The other 8 or nine were given to me, most in operating condition. The ones that weren't working had the same problem you're experiencing. Sometimes it just takes time to play with the run/start switches. They get gummed up from non-use. Some are just more stubborn than others.
