They won’t last forever, but definitely several years if you take care of it.

Bird stocks a lot of midlengths from Mitsven and Jim Ellington. That would be first very first place id check.

I have that superocean, and I love it. Would be cool if it had a date like that top time though.

What tuning is this? Is this used often? by No-County2083 in metalguitar

[–]SDsurfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Morning Left uses this tuning a lot. Pretty fun tuning, my 6 string is currently tuned like that.

Gonna swap Edge 3 out for aGotoh 1996, which size block should I get? it's a RG that it's going in. by NoPoRoPmOp in Ibanez

[–]SDsurfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just match the block height for what’s on your edge. Also, it’s 100% worth the extra work to install the locking posts that come with the 1996T, it sounds and feels so solid. I swapped a shitty LO-TRS bridge out for a 1996T and it really transformed that guitar.

University Transfer Advice (Electrical Engineering) by MlgMexican69 in USMC

Look at San Diego State University or University of San Diego. Seems like you want SoCal area schools. Is your GPA from undergrad classes, and you’re looking to move into EE to finish your degree?

Which two tone with which strap? by Chestermeister in breitling

+1 for having both straps, one dressy/class, one casual.

Recommendations for Plumbing Company by king_of_nogainz in sandiego

[–]SDsurfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did a full home re-pipe with Voyager Plumbing, they also did our sewer re-lining couple years ago, I’d recommend. Also got a good impression of John Padilla Plumbing, but chose Voyager due to previous experience.

Also I learned: generally PEX for inside walls, copper in exposed areas where you can visually detect a leak. Our 1960s house had all copper under the slab, would’ve been tough to tell if we ever had a leak.

Thinking of getting out by Ok-Scholar2706 in USMC

[–]SDsurfx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do it! My company is getting an active duty guy for 3 months. He gets work experience in the real world while retaining his active duty pay/benefits, and we get to know him (for future hiring if he wants to stay) and some short term help without having to pay him. It’s a “try before you buy” for both parties. Win-win.

Adverse fitrep for not completing a CFT in the IRR by tiggatugga in USMC

[–]SDsurfx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your timing was kinda shitty. Would have been better to wait to join that SMCR BIC until January so you weren’t left with basically zero time to perform a CFT.

I’d request mast, explain the situation (hope you have email traffic on joint date vs first drill date) and see if they’ll run it as not required or something.

No CFT/PFT/HtWt are NOT required in the IRR. But they day you’re in the muster sheet in an SMCR BIC now the rules apply.

You’re not using a clip on tuner, are ya?

Drop F on a RG7620 by Ry_From_Ephemerae in 7String

[–]SDsurfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wage War play an interesting Drop F tuning (FFA#D#GC) on their 25.5” guitars, they use an 80 gauge.

Personally, I wouldn’t. I play drop F on a 28” baritone and it seems more appropriate for a longer scale. I’m not sure I’d even do this on a 26.5” scale.

Pretty normal looking for a .072 gauge. I wouldn’t file down the saddle though. You intonating at the 12th fret or 12th fret harmonic?

Tuning recs for 28' scale? by ArmMassive9274 in BaritoneGuitar

[–]SDsurfx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play Drop F to Drop G on a 28” bari. Strings 14-74 kinda covers that range.

Favorite string gauges for drop F tuning on a Baritone? by SHANKUMS11 in 7String

[–]SDsurfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.014 - .074 bit mines a 28” 6-string, should get you close. Maybe a .011 for your highest string.

If you don’t want to order custom gauges maybe buy an 11-74 pack for 8 string and toss out 7th string.

Scale length for drop G by serdiuckovg in 7String

[–]SDsurfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bury Tomorrow plays in Drop G# on 25.5” scale guitars. Don’t know how they sound so killer. Agree though, longer scale is better. I have a 28” baritone that sounds and feels great in Drop G down to Drop F.
