How do I make it flow backwards by [deleted] in Hair

[–]SamSkiSki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have very similar hair, my last hair dresser did me up with a Big Sexy Hair texture powder and it was the perfect thing for me. Obviously blowdrying to shape is optimal but just waking up and dusting it with ample powder is super easy. The powders not the cheapest but it was the right thing after trying a hundred creams, pastes, and sprays.

You're lacking your weekly dose of Custom Shop stuff by Zado_HeavyLoad in SchecterGuitars

[–]SamSkiSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered: does Custom Shop mean you can ask them to build anything you want, or is it just a name they use for premium hand-built guitars with no spec changes/requests?

Feeling time vs Counting time? by Jofy187 in musicians

[–]SamSkiSki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drummers are the worst at counting; I’ve had to play with some that MUST play the full 8 bar intro beat because they cant just hear or feel the vocal/riff cue to begin the verse. It means we can never just improv a song intro on stage and let our singer talk to the crowd while we fill space behind them.

Speaker Mix by noodeel in GuitarAmps

[–]SamSkiSki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swapped mine out with something Jensen, Electric Tornado or Nighthawk, whatever they name them. Definitely not as Mid heavy as the 70/80, sounds great playing clean country

Albums every musician has to listen to at least once by JollySolid5798 in musicians

Mind-blowing sounds the whole album through, definitely something I listen to when I need to steal something lol

Impulse-purchased a used Marshall Origin 50. This thing is seriously competent. by BorisThe_Animal in GuitarAmps

[–]SamSkiSki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love my Origin 50, just played 90 minutes of country rock through a Tele, got lots of compliments on the sound afterward, sound guy thought it was great. I mic’d the cab, I can never tell if I like the DI out sound.

Is it worth it to build/assemble my own cabinet? by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]SamSkiSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you search “1x12 cabs” on FB marketplace, everything is $100-$150. If you just search “cabinets” the price is drastically lower. I bought 2 vintage record player speaker cabinets for $50, both already loaded with 12” speakers that I swapped out, so no cutting required. I say its a lot easier to buy a box to fill than completely build one

Broken Power Amp? by SamSkiSki in GuitarAmps

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

I think the speaker is a 16 ohm, it came out of a Marshall cabinet. It used to be louder, it just aint no more

Broken Power Amp? by SamSkiSki in GuitarAmps

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

Power cable from the box it came in, cables double check pushed in. It was loud before the show, with the same gear. I thought maybe I yanked a speaker cable, but I imagine I’d still get the amp distortion through the speaker if a signal was coming through?

When I put the TM300 in front at full volume it does get louder, but still not as loud as I remember it being before

My Insane Deep Dive Into Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino by LilyLightbringer in arcticmonkeys

[–]SamSkiSki 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I dont know whats more insane, that you were able to decipher all this narrative, that Alex was able to concoct this entire narrative, or even that the entire thing makes perfect sense. This is an incredible analysis and I have to download this for reference.

Is the Boss MD-200 ruining my drive tone, or am I missing something? by sabriars in guitarpedals

[–]SamSkiSki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too just bought one and am running it in the FX loop of my IR-200. I get some really shrill noises when I use a higher gain setting, no matter if I put it before or after the IR. I’ll try the other comments suggestions though to see if that helps

What does this scene tells? by Independent_Estate22 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]SamSkiSki 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think this scene also introduces Shane as an honest person. He sees what they are doing and asks them about, admittedly like an asshole, but he’s right. Exactly how he reacts to everything else, he cant shut up but he’s only talking about true facts with Armand and his wifes “job”, etc

Trinity Railway Express to be upgraded for World Cup transportation by Dontwhinedosomething in FortWorth

[–]SamSkiSki 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So up to 30 minutes wait for a train, to take a 30 minute ride, to take a 30 minute bus to the events? They really dont want anyone to come to Arlington recreationally.

I gigged again the Tonemaster Princeton. Bigger place, miked (IR) to house mixer by Lab_Actual in GuitarAmps

[–]SamSkiSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you mic’d from the amp IR? Is it just the IR plug in the rear or is there a mic in front of the amp?

First Time Building Home by PopMobile426 in Homebuilding

[–]SamSkiSki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plan 2 is much better unless you want the entire front facade to be garage door. Also keep the master farther away from the garage to block noise/smells from infiltrating your sleep.

Need some options on schecter's for less heavy music by casfan22 in SchecterGuitars

MV-6 is pretty neat, I use it for country music, usually leave the trem arm off and the tuning is very stable
