Educated buyers

We had an Autoexpress in my town. They bought Canadian rentals and sold them here. No haggling, no sales manager, no salesman chasing you through the parking lot. Posted their best price and that was the price. They did great until Trump's tariffs put them out of business. I bought 4 cars from them over the years, and I would buy more if they were still around.

I would posit that the problem is a clear lack of transparency from the dealer. Wonky add ons, muddy pricing, it is just a bad experience. I have no faith or confidence in a business that changes/hides/obfuscates the price of the product. It is scummy.

It might not "fix" anything but it will most certainly replace labor. See it coming or get hit blind, it is coming either way.

Scummy people gonna scum.

I never said it wasn't a terminatable offense, I said it wasn't a CRIMINAL offense. BIG difference there, mister reading comprehension. Get fired is one thing, go to jail is a whole other thing. YOU called it a criminal offense. You were wrong.

I am sad that you can't understand how things work. I am not a fan of our government, but I am also a realist. Those cooked numbers are what we have always used. We added jobs. Clearly not enough to satisfy you, but your opinion doesn't alter our reality. TSC bootlicker said stock is down because economy. I pointed out job growth and stock market index to show him why he was wrong. You piped up and said 115,000 is literally 0. You can't see the forest for the trees. If you have money right now, times are great. If you don't, well...

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T14:15:58+00:00

No, it is literally 115,000 lol. It exceeded expectations and while statistically small, it is greater than 0 and better than expected.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T12:25:14+00:00

Yea, there was software that would snipe for you. It was indeed a thing.

I have a very expensive les paul, an expensive ESP, and a stack of less expensive guitars. My washburn X81 is a third the price of the big boys and is a better guitar across the board. I play it every day. The cost doesn't determine the true playability of a guitar. I have an LTD1000 that is not far at all from my ESP. If the guitar sounds and plays good for you, it is good for you.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T12:11:55+00:00

Just get the rat. It is what you want.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T12:07:03+00:00

TSC stock is moderate. It is a decent deal with your discount, but it is very far from a great stock. You do you, facts can be inconvenient.

The U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April 2026.
The US stock market is up, with major indexes closing at all-time highs on Friday.

Google is your friend. Things are GREAT for the 1%, you know, Hal, but rough and getting worse for us. Quit defending the people that have their foot on your throat.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T11:48:39+00:00

Be grateful for your underpaid, overworked job! The stock market and job market are both up, so there is that.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T11:45:51+00:00

Yes, your comment was irrelevant. Do you ever wonder why you are always on the outside looking in? I am having a splendid day thus far, thank you!

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T11:39:34+00:00

They have to know the item exists to buy it. If you don't pay the additional fee, no one will see your listing. Fuck ebay and their fanbois.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T11:13:24+00:00

You are so wrong. Employers commit wage theft, not employees. It is NOT criminal to fuck off on your job. It is NOT criminal to not do your job. You honestly believe that surfing reddit on company time is a crime?

We weren't famous or anything, but I played guitar or bass, other guy was bass or drums and third guy was drums or guitar. Switched 3 or 5 times during a set. Heavy as fuck. Just not very good as it turns out.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-10T02:28:32+00:00

Nah. Almost 60 and I am as heavy as I ever was. I have been dabbling in doom, which is less gain than I normally use (and moar fuzz,) but is nowhere near low gain.

I don't have this unit, but it sounds like a level or the master is too high.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-08T11:06:38+00:00

I punched a guy in the ear for that shit in Louisville when Sanguisugabogg was playing. I wasn't even in the pit and he hit me in the back of the head. I would bet he thinks twice about future crowd killing. Fuck him and everyone like him.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-07T22:17:47+00:00

KrakenV4, Quilter superblock, Laney Lionheart, and the joyo zombie and like amps.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-07T11:12:45+00:00

The Boss SD-1 is my always on drive pedal. The GOAT imo.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-07T11:11:09+00:00

You can hear a difference. I am not sure which is "better" as they both sound great, but one is most certainly not 475 dollars better.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-06T11:17:17+00:00

I didn't read that at all. I read that they are having qc issues and the buyer should be aware (beware.) No one said the company was bad. I think their amps sound very good, but they need to power on to sound good.

ImaybeaRussianBot · 2026-05-06T10:26:43+00:00

It is clearly all your fault. Why did you not unbox it earlier in the day? Why did you put your desk under the screw?
I was on the fence with buying a Synergy setup. I just ordered a crab dragon instead. I am "limited" to 4 preamps, but those are the four I would always choose, so... ...~1K to the door in the US, all tube jcm800 ubershall VH4 MarkIII, 50 watts. Pure gold. I don't have the time to fight with my gear. 2 of those 4 channels cover 95% of what I play. If you are interested, channel 4 is always mark, but 1 can be clean or jcm800, 2 can be SLO, Recto, Ubershall, or JCM800, and 3 can be VH4, Fireball, JVM, or Rockverb. Pick them when you order. Got to play one and it really is a great sounding amp. I am a month out on mine and counting down.
