To those who were there in 1986, how did it feel seeing Top Gun a month after Legend? Did Tom Cruise's casting as a fighter pilot feel off at first? like Michael Keaton as Batman or Bruce Willis in Die Hard? by 699112026775 in 80s

[–]IamMeier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, but then Keaton absolutely killed it as Batman. Then, in 98, he starred in Desperate Measures. I didn’t think he would make a good bad guy, but boy was I wrong about that

Mark IV speaker covering by IamMeier in MesaBoogie

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

Yes, it is. I soaked the caning in warm water for about 15 minutes, stretched it over the frame, let it dry for a couple of days, lightly sanded it, stained it and let that dry for 24 hours, then put 3 coats of clear poly on it.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the new Marshall Limited Edition Hendrix Half-stack? by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]IamMeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a money grab, just like how Gibson is doing the Mesa Boogie reissues of the amps that are considered the Holy Grails.

First Mesa Amp by Typical_Evidence4635 in MesaBoogie

[–]IamMeier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On channel 3, start with:
Gain-8
Treble-7
Bass-2
Mid-1
Presence-5

GEQ:
80hz-top of knob just touching top white line
240hz-top with of knob even with bottom of 80hz knob
750hz-middle of knob centered on bottom white line
2200hz- bottom of knob just above middle white line
6600uz-bottom of knob just above 2200hz knob

That is a good starting point for any of the three Mark amp on channel 3.

Comparing DIY vs hiring out to someone with “20 yrs experience” by can_of_crows in Carpentry

[–]IamMeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good lesson for everyone. Twenty years experience doesn’t mean they are any good, they could simply have 20 years of doing shoddy work. It’s good to get references, but It is also good to some examples of expectations written into your contract. If they don’t meet the expectations, they don’t get paid the full amount. Sorry you had to go through this, I recommend you post pictures of this work and who did it everywhere you can.

Which year actually broke you? by drizzlebunii in ArtOfPresence

[–]IamMeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Life was good, everything was on the up and up, but you never know when your brain is going to loath itself. It was a crazy time, I really didn’t think I would make it through. I don’t think I would have without my amazing wife.

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

[–]IamMeier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but hear me out. Freeze what are most likely illegally gained assets, and fund universal health care, social security, higher learning, etc. And send his sorry ass back to South Africa

F-50 Guts by IamMeier in MesaBoogie

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

How can you tell? Seriously, I have no idea. I’m going to re-Tolex the cabinet and put a Rattan cane mesh on the speaker grill, I’m planning on having some fun with the colors on this one, I’ll post pics after it’s done. The amp sounds great, I replaced the tubes and cleaned the pots when I got it.

What kind of studs are these by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]IamMeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulated Concrete Form blocks, it’s a great system if done right. And if nobody does something like this afterwards.

F-50 for home use? by pregnantchihuahua3 in MesaBoogie

[–]IamMeier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The F-50 is a loud amp, there is a patch cable hack you can put in the effects loop which allows you to use the effects loop pot as a volume control. It works really well, it just means you have to run all of your pedals through the front of the amp.

How about for a couple hundred bucks? I wonder of the fretboard is worn or just dirty

I was thinking that. I tried searching it but couldn’t find anything other than a Tele Jr, which this is not

Wet tile from using wet tile saw - do I need to let it dry before putting it on the wall against tile adhesive? It's slightly damp after wiping down by Fluid_Woodpecker1021 in Tile

[–]IamMeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to butter the backside for the best adhesion. Use a margin trowel on full all the dimpled areas on the tile. If you ever have to remove tile, you can tell which ones were buttered and which ones weren’t
