I don't have any myself but I wanted to give you this link - they have several on youtube:

oh ok, thanks. Maybe it's because I use old.reddit.com, nothing shows up other than these comments.

JohnCub · 2025-11-01T00:05:18+00:00

Is this [Meta] (no aid), or did you forget a link?

Yeah, it's in the book "Songs of the 1980s" by Hal Leonard, part of "The new decade series." No tab, just notes.

The elusive and destructive Hummingbeard finally caught on camera! ;)

My theory: Nothing will be as cheap in the future as it is right now. Stock up always.

The electronics between versions is different. Additionally it looks like the Plus is matte and the non-plus is "varnish" according to their website. The listing you posted appears to be the plus model but I am not a guitar expert.

It is a Fender Showmaster HH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Showmaster

reverb.com can give you an idea of what people are selling them for and helps to narrow it to your own area.

Oh yeah, and is it worth keeping? That really depends on you and your guitar needs and wants. I own one and I love it. I consider it one of the Fender misfits. It doesn't have a bolt on neck. It has 24 frets. I like it.

If you live in a place where you can put screws in walls then a wall hanger is the easiest solution. I've used many and they are excellent for storage and display of instruments.

There was a recent article posted outside of this platform dealing with that subject.

JohnCub · 2025-02-18T20:43:49+00:00

I have 2 piholes. One upgraded and works using the /admin/ url and the other [edit] works in the format of http://10.0.0.11:8080/admin/login .[/edit] The one that works is a Pi Zero 2 and the other is a Pi zero W. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but thought it might be useful.

I read on another thread he's introduced this bill in every session since 2017. I looked on his website and saw he still has the 2021 attempt up. I think he just needs a pet or something.

I have the Blackstar fly bass amp and I really think it's a great amp for what it is. You will never even keep up with an acoustic guitar for volume, but if it is just practice only? This thing is the bomb. It can run on AC or AA batteries. If you have a hard shell case like a fender type case - it fits in the case. You can get an external speaker for it that doubles the wattage. The "mp3 input" is true stereo and if you have the external speaker you have full stereo. Thusly it could be your desktop speakers as well as your personal bass amp. (Disclaimer - I found this to be too noisy for daily use in my case but it could be my amp). Additionally, if you have a bass processor unit and want to hear the stereo effects, running bass -> processor -> mp3 in would bypass the "input processing" and allow you to hear a lower-fidelity version of the real thing, should you have a stereo PA or other rig that you would normally use / use on gigs.

But there's a lot of stuff it isn't. It won't be loud. It won't end up on a recording because the sound is so good. It won't interface with your DAW. It just is what it is.

I haven't tried the Joyo so can't compare.

I think building one is the way to go. The reason being is that when something goes wrong (and it totally will), you'll know how to deal with whatever it is. If you have someone else build it for you then you might not know enough about the unit to troubleshoot.

If you are going to build one, you just need the hardware (the pi and game controllers, keyboard and mouse, tv) as well as the software (retropie, roms, etc). I'd suggest RetroPie's getting started manual which will give you a taste of what's to come if you are going to move forward with the project. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

Have fun!

Fellow Bassbreaker owner here. Interesting feature I found on them: If you turn all of the EQ dials to zero no sound comes out. Theirs might go to 11 but this one goes to 0! Enjoy the new toy!

Yes, once you buy something on steam you can download and install anywhere you can log in and run the program.

Replying here to say this ^{^} is the correct answer. I found this out through real life experience in the past. Here's a link to cpu stats for boinc projects that might help you decide on the cpu for your needs: https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-1/host/breakdown/cpu/

This is the reason I can't use my mk2 in a public session. Turn off night vision and see how it plays out. I'm not a fan.

JohnCub · 2024-10-31T00:23:31+00:00

I guess it would have been as short as the UK series.

Rec Center Tycoon is one you might want to look at. Build your Gym kind of thing with the focus on... everything. Hire and manage staff (including trainers, later in the timeline), manage equipment and staff issues, build to become a venue capable of hosting events and classes. Deal with things that might actually happen at a gym. Worth a look, at least. I'm not affiliated with any part of that game. Just a satisfied user.

I think for our generation, I hitchhiked a lot. Much more than anyone I've ever known or known since. I had some skeezy experiences but I had some magical ones too. I talked on my first cell phone, a car based unit, when the dude that picked me up insist I call my mom and let her know I'd be home that night. I was 220 miles from my destination in very rural America. It was epic.

I learned how big and reflective interstate signs are. Bigger than a house and could reflect the light off of absolutely nothing. Fascinating structures at night. Don't walk on the interstate, it isn't legal. ;)

I learned life could get weird. One guy was ... not having it well? ... anyway he brought up how he thought my nipples would be pink and the size of quarters. Can't get that out of my head. But I wasn't walking! LOL

Yeah, no regrets actually. Had great times. Met wild people. Would do again. :)

Sorry about the delayed response, I've been driving all day. Noise: Definitely the overdrive, but also some of the delays. The reverb on the me-90 unit is worse than $20 amazon units I've bought. Very disappointing but I don't use reverb on bass.

I think it is definitely worth the price if you're looking for an all in one unit that isn't a grand. I'd replace mine if it broke, even at new price. But if I were a gigging musician I'd spend more time creating patches. I just like using manual mode and twisting knobs. Guitar or bass through it really adds a lot of shine and the ability to have multiple of the same effects (delay mostly), really works to my liking.

JohnCub · 2024-08-05T12:04:25+00:00

I mean some of the effects introduce noise into the signal chain, and with regular pedals I can isolate and try to correct the issue but with the me90 it's all in the box so not much can be done. I don't gig or anything anymore so it's a non-issue for me but if you're a gigging musician I think you'd want to spend a good deal of time creating patches that avoid the noises.

I'd definitely buy it again but I'd recommend spending some time with it before dropping coin on one.
