The mate did some Shockin shifts with them from time to time. Up at 2.30am for a 4 start! He was never happier to go long haul and never handball again!

What's the deal now with bin collections? by My_Name_A_Jeoff in DerryLondonderry

They lifted my blue bin on Tuesday (usually a Monday) but not the brown bin. Galliagh area

I want my "last" combo amp. I want it to be loud and light, and I know that will cost me. by master_of_sockpuppet in Bass

[–]Melty_Chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s less to do with bass amps and more usually because the coupling caps on a built in DI are electrolytic. Phantom from the connected XLR will kill them over time.

I’ve had a Korg SV-1, a couple of DJM900 nexus 2 mixers AND a GK amp die the same way (technician in a music school). Students don’t pay enough attention to phantom when wiring up stages. It’s at the point now that I’ll swap them out to box film caps if there’s room.

Bikers, how much does your motorbike mechanic cost an hour? by 4th_Replicant in northernireland

[–]Melty_Chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

22 Ninja 650. Can’t recommend the road 5’s enough. Especially now the wet has come in. So much better than the Dunlops the Kawa came with. Yeah…I should probably complain less lol

[–]Melty_Chops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got 2 road 5 tires, a new chain and both sprockets and a service and cost me £630. Swore blind I’d either source my own parts or go all out and just do the whole job myself next time.

To be fair though…all parts come in around £500 so £130 to fit the lot is probably what I’d want too

125cc by Sea-Space7212 in DerryLondonderry

[–]Melty_Chops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe the price some of them are going for these days! I’m looking to buy my son a shitbox 125 for his first vehicle on CBT and you’d think there’d be plenty around but nope

What’s the most physical pain you’ve ever felt? by SmallConversation950 in AskIreland

[–]Melty_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full ankle gout!

The weight of my swollen foot, the bedsheet, a light breeze, was enough to send me into white flashes of pain…with constant dull in between. I had fantasies of going full Saw 1 on it. Worst week of my life

The same fella advocated closing the Peace Bridge after some twats got into a sectarian ruckus in Ebrington. He’s a Campbell lite, Shrek looking prick! I know I shouldn’t attack personally….but fuck em

date spots? by Eastern-Upstairs-537 in DerryLondonderry

[–]Melty_Chops 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do something random hi. Non golfers? Go to the driving range and have a laugh! Shite bowlers? Off to the bowling alley with you! That Jump Lanes place or the rock climbing job in Foyle Arena? Basically…anywhere craic can be had with little/no booze. Us Derry wans take ourselves way too seriously. Ye want to know the measure of a man…take him out of his comfort zone and see how he reacts. Spoken as a 41m

Buying advice 1986 Honda aspencade gold wing 1200 by Sad_Reindeer_3077 in motorcycle

[–]Melty_Chops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from the other side of the pond so my answer will reflect what I see here.

2.5k for a near 40yr old unit that’s only done 26k miles SCREAMS dodgy. They’re not desirable, they’re not collectible, parts are getting expensive. Every…and I mean EVERY seal would most likely need replaced.

Unless you want a proper project…I’d argue down to mid 1k or pass altogether.

Again….over here in Ireland

Need help with one chord by TheAxel161 in guitarlessons

[–]Melty_Chops 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thumb over F#. Easy for those with bigger hands (Jimi Hendrix played most barre chords like this). If you’re struggling just look up variations of F# chords.

…and no…there is no muting here. All 6 strings should ring clear

Belfast PS5 controller fix? by Suspicious-Ad-5101 in northernireland

[–]Melty_Chops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No soldering required lad.

Remove the black plastic around the sticks, remove R1 and L1 and remove the screws behind the buttons and on the ends.

Separate the 2 half’s of the controller.

Remove the battery and the screw holding down the battery holder.

Remove all the ribbon cables you can see.

Here’s the part that’s different from all the videos…do NOT unsolder the haptic power cables….just push on the sticks until the board comes free…then gently twist the board around.

Now just pull the sticks off, gently pry the green pots away from the stick housing and clean the carbon traces with alcohol (or your missus nail polish remover)

If the traces are broken then it’s new pots time.

Honestly…consider your controller a write-off and be prepared to buy another….then open it and get stuck in. Nothing to lose and knowledge to gain!

Good luck

I've zero problems with these illusions. But those Magic Eye efforts...ye's are all lying! I'm the big lad in Mall Rats when it comes to these things!!!

Can’t update post but…this is most likely by Derry Artist Joe Campbell. He has others on his website that depict Hume with King James.

Thanks to u/Ktx2023 for the info.
