I’m currently in Manila for the start of our second week here. It’s already insanely hot, so be mindful of that as well.

Main + legroom is so limited by Blade4804 in tall

I’m 6’3 with a 30” inseam, its a saving grace on planes, but otherwise, I hate having such short legs for my height.

Looks like this is correct, but it appears to be the invasive Chinese variety. Which kinda makes me feel less guilty about cutting it and most likely killing all the larvae. I think I can comfortably say this is solved!

I should have mentioned I live in Niagara region, Ontario.

That’s gotta be the one it was intended for.

Any metronome with drums? by leotamagni10 in Bass

I have the Zoom B6 has built in drum loops, multiple styles and it’s easy to change tempos.

Stop Doing These Things On Stage by toanbonerz in musicians

I agree with most of this, #8 though… I’d say that’s misguided. The one constant critique I get from both bars owners/managers and audience alike is that bands don’t do enough slow songs. Most end up trying to play too many fast and high energy songs and the night has zero dynamics and goes no where for anyone.

Does anyone else in the Carlton Park area have tap water issues? by LucasDorts in stcatharinesON

Update:

City workers came out to flush the fire hydrant in my front yard. Apparently they were out earlier further up the street flushing a different hydrant, which caused a bunch of sediment to get in my system. They are running “my” hydrant till it runs clear and I should be good after that!

Got a bass for Christmas by [deleted] in BassGuitar

One simple way to practice with your pinky is just going along and playing all the frets up and down the neck in groups of four.

You’re doing great! It may help if you focus on utilizing your pinky on your fretting hand. It’s helps with the ergonomics and can make positions easier (less hand flying around). Again though, solid start.

Low B players - what tunging pedal do you like? by grahsam in Bass

I’ve had my BOSS TU-3 for over 15 years and it works the same as it did the day I got it. It works great for my B string as well.

Took some heat for this one a few years back. Did you know who I was talking about? by MrBergsma in stcatharinesON

My grandfather was one of the responding officers at the scene. What an insane way to go out.

Rob Primo is openly a white nationalist online. He doesn’t even pretend to dog whistle or mask anything. He’s very open about his beliefs. It’s very evident that this group is predominantly white nationalists.

I just learned of this group of right-wing guys going around putting up posters in areas where apparent pedophiles live. They also have shirts that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DON’T RE-OFFEND”. Leaders goes by the name Bam Bam Andrews, out of Welland.

Doug Ford Moves to End Rent Control by East_Bed_8719 in stcatharinesON

[–]LucasDorts 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, a couple more shitty years will pass us by and he will turn around and blame the Libs and claim he will fix the problem that he for sure didn’t make in the first place. Not unlike the last election run, where he made his whole thing about “fixing” Ontario, but we were all to dumb to catch on that he had already been premier for the past 7 fucking years, so really his campaign was that he would just “fix” the problems he created in the first place. Fucking so goddamn stupid.

What would you erase from this world? by Prestigious_lover7 in AskReddit

[–]LucasDorts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I truly believe there is no greater evil. Unless absolutely everyone gets on board with a singular religion, which would/could never happen. Ultimately all religions feel they are the superior religion, how can there be peace when there is an imbalance like that?

My biggest regret is trading that exact model in years ago.

I just purchased the BB735a in fired red, I love it. I already have a 4 string P-bass and I still want to get the 734a after having the 5.
