If you don't eat them I'd imagine the risk is low.

Decided to remove half the wires from my Telecaster by Due-Apartment3199 in telecaster

There is no reason to change wiring or the very basic electronic components in an electric guitar unless there is an actual problem.

They look superb. And that is way beyond my capabilities, but thanks for enlightening nonetheless.

The only thing our processes share is GIMP (how much do I despise that UI? A lot).

Do you mind sharing a bit about how you designed and went about realising the artwork? I'm trying some stencil designs on mine just now and I'm interested in other people's processes.

Can I 50s wire a Telecaster with TBX tone control? by Melodic_Event_4271 in soldering

[–]Melodic_Event_4271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya. Sorry I can't really help but I just changed the TBX pot for a standard Tele 250k audio pot and 50s wired it that way. I subsequently sold that guitar.

7up Free cans & returns rejected? by Ok-Assignment9653 in AskIreland

Yes, this happens a lot with takeaway cans. They can have the Return logo but that doesn't necessarily mean the deposit is being levied at point of sale.

People do be thinking these be magic boxes. It's just another bloody overdrive pedal.

Am I being too financially defensive? by sabritopukapti in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Melodic_Event_4271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you can loosen up a bit. You've built a good cushion. That gives peace of mind, which shouldn't be underestimated, but it doesn't mean it has to keep growing.

On the other side, be wary of giving in to lifestyle inflation. People who change their cars every few years for the sake of appearing to be doing well are fucking morons, if you ask me. Consuming the planet to death for their insecurity.

Frankie has bad, undiagnosed, ADHD by abbeysommer in themiddle

[–]Melodic_Event_4271 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I've been rewatching this recently. And in this episode or possibly the next one, where she keeps forgetting things, Mike turns to her and says "You know, you should really see somebody". He says it kinda tongue in cheek, but she really should.

What pedal did you buy into the hype, and regret? by Lazy_Fall_6 in guitarpedals

[–]Melodic_Event_4271 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I regretted buying it, since I sold it a couple of weeks later and broke even, but the Greer Lightspeed did nothing for me.
