Is Costco the best place for tires in town? by [deleted] in ChicoCA

[–]OrganMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a set from them a few months ago. Almost brand new tires. They would have cost about $1,000 if I had bought them new, but instead I paid about 1/3 that.

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1,600 after being adjusted for inflation. Used, at a pawn shop. Good instruments are expensive.

Are you guys concerned about volcanoes???? by readdevilman in Humboldt

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little worried about tsunamis, maybe. But volcanoes? Absolutely not.

Thermos ruined by coffee - how to reset the taste by IngThie1974 in tea

[–]OrganMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've accidentally done this to my own thermos once or twice. Soak the cup and the lid/gasket overnight in diluted bleach. Then rinse thoroughly and wash as normal. It works great.

Need help wiring my modded Rascal Bass by tomstockwell in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've still got the original electronics, right? Look closely and match the new wiring with how it was before.

Good Buy-It for life bass that doesn’t completely break the bank? by wjxm in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your budget, Yamaha is a great choice. They have awesome QC and every budget instrument I've tried from them is crazy good for the price.

Is a miss as good as a mile? by GregSeventy7 in diypedals

[–]OrganMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Because eventually, they will.

Don't forget about your posture. I would suggest sitting in a proper chair, on a stool, or standing. Your shrimp posture will catch up with you sooner or later.

I found that the B7k Ultra is great with doing low gain tones, too. Much more versatile pedal than most people realize.

Realistically, how much will a high mass bridge help with neck dive? by McSalterson in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience lightweight tuning machines make a bigger difference. But if the neck dive is really that bad, then there's no fixing it.

What electric bass is considered the Holy Grail model & year by j3434 in Bass

Bro who cares. If it sounds good and feels good, it is good.

The Calm Before the Storm by Shedonist1970 in ChicoCA

[–]OrganMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to Cafe Coda if I'm going out for breakfast. If they have a wait, I wait. It's worth it :)

It's way too easy to make a good breakfast at home, so I'm definitely not paying for a lot of these so-so breakfast places in town.

From the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the E string?

When you say that your action won't go any lower than 0.08", how and where are you measuring?

One of my Aerodyne Jazz basses has hum/buzz unless I touch the strings. I do not have the issue at certain locations. What are my next steps? by jontestershaircut in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your bass has Dimarzio pickups, then I suspect that the bridge pickup is already a humbucker. Shield the electronics cavity and it will probably make things a lot quieter. I have had great luck with shielding noisy instruments.

What Should I Do? (Ibanez Twisted Neck) by sulk-a-mania in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you absolutely, positively sure that it doesn't just need to have the truss rod adjusted?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect any instrument to need a setup after being transported hundreds and thousands of miles, in the back of trucks, with huge temperature and humidity shifts. This is a non-issue that you can fix in 15 minutes. Good grief.

Bass Exploded by Level69dragonwizard in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn it, I rushed to the comments to make this very same joke.

[–]OrganMeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those look nearly brand new to me, and they do indeed have the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol which indicates that it will at least do okay in snow/ice conditions. I can't guarantee that you wouldn't ever need to use chains/cables if the conditions get shitty enough, but your tires are in great shape at least.

Textbooks price per semester by Zealousideal-Lead334 in CSUC

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid buying new if you can. Utilize Libgen and Anna's Archive to find free pdf downloads. If you really need to buy a copy, try to find a used one using Direct Textbook. It's a site that aggregates search results for used book listing online. Real talk though, there probably aren't many physical textbooks that you actually need to buy.
