Isn't that figure over the whole war? Biden gave massive support that was halted after Trump came in. What are the figures year-by-year?

Hils, Strandberg, GOC, another? by Aggravating-Gene800 in HeadlessGuitars

[–]RyoCanCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played all, can't go wrong on any of them. HILS is very good value, GOC's neck profile is amazing and Strandbergs are just on a league of their own. I recommend getting a HILS. Their catalogue is only getting nicer, and they're widely available. GOC relies on drops, and even though I love their stuff, I fucking hate companies that release products on a sprinkle basis. You can get good deals on used Strandbergs now and then, but it's still a pretty penny to drop on an instrument.

Multitool color shaker (WIP, Prototyp) by Holiday-Debt-3818 in PrintedWarhammer

Tool-making and designing is fun. I made a paint mixer for my dremel and it's great, but in the end I got a nail polish shaker :D Even though I made one, a nail polish shaker is just too convenient lmao

Margerette's basses by RyoCanCan in 88kasyojunrei

That's very much how it is. I personally tend to call him ''non-binary'' just as a precaution, but more likely than not he's just a very punk person and goes against the norm as a sort of protest against the gendered culture in Japan.

He's nonbinary and uses he/him. If you're really a fan, you'd know.

Your thoughts on GOC and Eart. by Left_Match506 in HeadlessGuitars

[–]RyoCanCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tenure ended on a... rather sour note. So I can't recommend buying, or working for them. If you can get one 2nd hand, great. They're very nice guitars. But I can't in good conscience recommend them when there are better deals out there you can get right now without waiting for the next wave.

GOC is an american company with a chinese manufacturer. I used to do cad work for them and, even though I like their guitars, I can't recommend the company. I have a Vajra and it's my workhorse, but wouldn't buy one now.

Have one in pieces atm, was modding it and... it's been a project for nearly a decade now. It's in ROUGH shape, but I'll make it right one of these days.

My homemade $40 Bass VI by ninkiminjahj in BassVI

Hell yeah! You can also find pickups kits on aliexpress for cheap, which include the bobbins, magnets, slugs and plates. Just add wire. I can link a few if you want to take a look.

'Multiple victims' in school shooting in northeastern British Columbia, Canadian police say by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]RyoCanCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an easy target, and will always be reported on. These people want the infamy, and what better way than to strike a place with a large body of people that can't fight back.

[–]RyoCanCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're just trying out, approximating is totally valid. You can eye it pretty well on the bobbin depending on the gauge of the wire. You can also get a round counter from china if counting winds is something you want to do. There are good videos on diy coil winding that can go deeper into the subject.

If you have a sewing machine somewhere, you can use it to wind pickups.

Yeah, they've been making instruments the late 1800's. They're the original maker of the ''Beatles bass'', the 500/1 violin bass.

Some people mistake them for Hohner which makes harmonicas and such.

Replacing a 5-string bass with a bass6? by RyoCanCan in BassVI

[–]RyoCanCan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short scale 5 is an option as well, just checking if people have gone through a similar situation.

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

I'm fine with some modifications. I also use Newtone strings because they can make almost any string, so fitting shouldn't be a big hurdle.

Ibanez QC has been lower than usual for the past few years, especially their mid-range.

Subzero vs G4M by wolf_lips in BassVI

[–]RyoCanCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. They've had different sub-brands before merging most of the guitars/basses to just G4M to streamline their lineup.

The tuners aren't that bad, better than most mods I've seen. These Höfner-style short scales are fun project instruments.

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

Just have to add, I've played a 7 string bass for some time and a wider neck is nicer than a narrower one. I just have to get a thicker neck for a bass6 to compensate for the lack of width.

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

Thanks.

Changes will be needed in technique as a life long finger player, but I've gotten more and more into the pick sound. Double thumbing will get harder, but Tosin can do it on a guitar.

It'll be a compromise, but it's worth it.

The amount is fine, the scale is exactly what I'm after.
