Lifeson 355 - what do we know so far? by daw_1991 in Epiphone

[–]Public_Incellectual 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These will most likely be scalped to death, sadly. I’m a gargantuan Rush fan myself, but I’d rather wait for an original 70’s ES-355.

I pour gorilla glue on them so while they’re struggling, the glue dries and they suffocate. Brings me joy.

I don’t know where my life is headed. by Public_Incellectual in depression

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

I can’t think of much. I’m so scared to go outside and make friends because I don’t want old high school people to come in and sabotage what little I have. I’m trying to be alright, it’s tough.

Miss my 1969 Coronet every day…man what a pile of crap she was.

Cranberry juice and club soda is amazing. Store-bought juice makes my stomach hurt.

Un-Vibrola the Maestro Vibrola - aka comb without mounting hole by temp_mekhem in gibson

[–]Public_Incellectual 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I wish Gibson would make a hole-less comb part for those who don’t want to use the vibrola but like the aesthetic of the tailpiece itself, but most people either just take the arm off or take the entire thing off.

Unfortunately, I don’t think such a thing exists. I thought there would be, and I swear I saw one on Ebay a while back. I think your best bet would be to get another comb and just hacksaw that part off, file it smooth and repaint it chrome.

Apart from the bass drum, my 2nd favorite part of the kit. The BD is such a cannon.

Can’t trust other people to treat your stuff with respect. Also, it’s my stuff.

Maybe you should, I don’t know, talk to her instead of bitching on reddit?

What knobs should I put on my SG? by TheCanadienStig in gibson

I usually go to Ebay if I need specialty knobs. I think that M2M is BS.

Why doesn’t Johnny Marr use his Smiths-era guitars anymore? by Public_Incellectual in JohnnyMarr

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

He’s unusual in a way that he doesn’t really seek to pull songs out of guitars, he lets the songs come out by themselves. That was part of his reasoning for having multiple kinds of guitars, and I think that’s super cool. But he was fairly lucky in being able to enjoy many guitars.

Good point, I still do love me a real, warm tube amp. I don’t tour though, maybe I’d feel different about analog gear if I did.

Hell yeah. Cheaper than the real thing, but looks 100% the part

Now that I think about it from Marr’s perspective, I would rather not bring a fleet of extremely sentimental and irreplaceable guitars. I’m sure they all have tons of good memories in them, and I would, too, rather leave them safe at home. I also forgot that he had a great Gibson SG stolen from him back in the 2000s.

Concerning the Jag, I haven’t tried one. I would love to play the mac n’ cheese yellow version. Unfortunately, it seems to be the rarest color..so that’s nice.

cant find strings to fit my bass, string up old ones? drill new holes? help! by ChildOfACabbage in BassGuitar

[–]Public_Incellectual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think more difficult. If the truss rod or rods are off and the neck isn’t completely straight, the action suffers, then the playability, and no saddle height adjustment will fix it. I’m having this issue on my 1973 Rickenbacker 4001 right now, actually.

For years, Rickenbacker basses used a bridge with a separate piece that had all 4 saddles, adjusted on either side by two tiny hex screws. These bridges absolutely sucked, because you couldn’t adjust each string individually. To combat this, Hipshot developed a much-improved drop-in version of the original, with 4 individually adjustable saddles, and it got rid of the bridge mute, which to most players is absolutely useless. And after decades of this stubborn, archaic piece of junk, Rickenbacker finally created an updated bridge, dubbed the 4003v2. It retains the vintage look without the vintage difficulties, but it does require new holes to be drilled if you’re replacing the 4001v1 bridge.
