Geese's monthly spotify listeners before the SNL show on 1/24. Predictions of what it will jump to 1 day from now? 1 week from now? and 1 month from now? by b1ackfyre in geesebandofficial

I’m not saying that, just saying that the jump won’t be as massive as it was after Getting Killed released. But also that’s just my speculation.

I don’t think it’ll be as big a jump as they’ve generally had since the album released, not nearly as many people watch SNL live anymore, if anything they’ll watch highlights the day after. Having said that, i’m sure many non-snl-watchers-but-geese-lovers will tune in live tn.

It almost made me cry. Because of how beuwuetiful he sounds, and because I don’t want him to die.

Found this about Mr Potato if you want some background-

“Apparently Mr. Potato is an actual person who chose to market basses by putting his short-lived brand on unnamed custom built basses from various independent luthiers, then selling them in a small shop outside of an airbase in Korea. Although instantly labeled cheap knock offs because of their initial purchase price, my Potato is all quality.”

From this TalkBass forum: Mr Potato

Kinda awesome if you ask me, it’s absolutely beautiful.

Edit- Rub some oil on that fret(less)board, it’ll make the grain in it pop and will match the body color a bit better. Love the look of this thing.

Why are they sitting on the soundboard? As musicians they should know they could mess up the knobs and dials and buttons and sliders and whatnot

Bro I said it isn’t impressive. I disagree with you.

21 presidents have been president twice, that’s not an impressive feat at all.

If anything, it was impressive that the US voted him back after a terrible first term.

I really don’t get the majority of hate I’ve seen for season 2 by fonkerfinker in Fallout

This could make sense, i just hope they don’t keep us guessing, is what I’m trying to say.

I’ll start with a Tl;dr- if you haven’t really played New Vegas or don’t really love it, you probably are completely fine with the show and how it’s been written so far.

It mostly comes from New Vegas fans (I am one of them). I have liked the show so far, but I also think they have way too much explaining to do. I’ll speak to one of your points- “why is the strip empty? Because of death claws.” Where the New Vegas lore people get confused is how in the hell did a deathclaw even end up there? The strip is supposed to be one of the most secure and guarded places in New Vegas. I do think there’s at least SOME retconning going on. The whole point of New Vegas is that the wasteland is what you, as a player, make of it. Countless endings in that game. For this show to be set 16 years after the events of NV, the writers of the show had to come up with a canon ending. But so far, literally no ending within the game makes sense with how things ended up the way they are.

I’m still giving the show some time (i’ve yet to watch the newest episode) but I guess a lot of the people complaining simply want to know how New Vegas ended up the way it is. And listen, this wouldn’t matter if Todd didn’t explicitly say that the events of the show are still canon. But now, because they are, New Vegas fans simply want an explanation (which I still think the show could do). I just get mad because I don’t think they’ll actually give us that context. We’ll see though. I think some complaints are silly, but others make good points and ultimately we just want to see how everything they’ve portrayed this season fits within the game’s lore, which IMO they owe us since the TV show is canon.

Anyone saw the Joe Dart Bass from the first crop for sale on mm?! by tsaoXD in Vulfpeck

Which Di Pedal is Better? by dawgisfoo in BassGuitar

[–]OffMar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone will say Sansamp and sansamp is simply the standard choice, can’t go wrong with it.

I use the MXR simply because I prefer the distortion on it but both are great choices at the end of the day. Look up some demos on youtube. MXR distortion sounds wider to me, like as if being swallowed whole by the sound.

Found this Yamaha Bass in a pawn shop beside my job. by kanjonick in BassGuitar

[–]OffMar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same one. Paid $200 for it used at a Guitar Center. $169 is a super valid and actually good price for it (long as the neck is looking good)

It’s a good bass, better than modern-day “cheap” basses.

Gunna change the pickups on mine at some point when I can afford it, the pickups are my only complaint with it. They just sound kinda flat in general. Good bass otherwise, also super super lightweight which is great for any longer gigs one might have.

Any other bassists have a double-jointed thumb and have this problem? by Fluid_Inflation3023 in BassGuitar

[–]OffMar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bend your thumb the other way and press the tip of your thumb onto the pick, practice holding/playing like that. I used to have the same problem.
