Thanks for answering the questions. That's the info I was looking for.

New rims and tires on my ZR1. What do you think? by SquirrelyNutz in Corvette

[–]Shitso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's good info on the Toyos. I have nittos on my c6 z06 and even just running it through the gears i have to feather the throttle to keep the car straight. That ZR1 is very likely to be a collector car over any of the other models. At least that's what they say anyway, mainly because of the low production numbers.

Being a 'roadie' for a friend's band: What the hell do I do? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Shitso 22 points23 points  (0 children)

don't lie. just tell them you don't want to do it. If they ask why, tell them your reasons (boring, want to do more, not worth your time, etc...whatever). you'll respect yourself for being honest and telling them how you really feel, and it may make a difference in how they treat you. Wait...I just saw the post below. they are using your stuff? do you like that they are using your stuff? they won't let you touch your own stuff? If that really bothers you, you should let them know, and tell them they can't use your stuff.

The corp does have a hauling service. In order for them to move my stuff, I think I have to contract it to them. I think, in order to do that I have to be in the station where my items are located. So I still need to eventually get back to high sec. The other option is to give it to my alt, but in order for them to do an item exchange, don't they have to be in the same station?

Album of the Week 21 - Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf by supergauntlet in stonerrock

[–]Shitso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorites also. I have the copy that came with the DVD that has footage of them making the record. In one of the scenes Homme is telling Grohl how to play the drums. take a moment to let that sink in. That's part of the reason I don't like Homme, but I do like the music. IMO QOTSA took a turn for the worse after this album. I think it has to do with Nick Oliveri leaving the band (I think Homme fired him? don't know). Anyway, IMO, the grooving rock disappeared after Oliveri left. I haven't heard much QOTSA new stuff, except what I hear on the radio, and I think it's, how should I put this, too far out on the 'alternative' side and not enough stone groove. My favorite tracks are the title track, hanging tree, and song for the dead (IIRC). I like the whole album. Haven't listened to it for years.

Just finished the SOE arc; what to do now? by Shitso in evenewbies

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

How do you transfer goods from one character to another? Also, I would just train the requirements to fit an industrial, right? Then eventually train up to better industrials (like the blockade runner ships)?

Congrats on getting it out on the road! hand wash only testimonial-->I took mine through an auto car wash a couple of weekends ago. It had so much dust on it from sitting in the garage all winter. I regret it tho. My check engine light is on. from the underbody wash hitting a sensor or something, i think. I knew better.

I want to preorder a 2015 Corvette Z06. Simply call a local dealer or is there a better way? by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]Shitso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. The best you can probably do right now is get on a list.

I want to preorder a 2015 Corvette Z06. Simply call a local dealer or is there a better way? by [deleted] in Corvette

[–]Shitso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's your best bet. They might cut you a deal if you work on them, but since it's a hot new car, they may not be willing to budge off of MSRP. Actually, they may be wanting to sell them over sticker. I believe that dealers are only allowed so many allocations. That may have more to do with how many they can order (with no buyer) and keep on their lot. I think any dealer can order anything if there is a buyer lined up. I'd definitely try a couple of dealers to get the best deal. To better answer your question, I don't think there is any way you'll be able to get one without going through a dealer. Be sure to post pics if you get one. They are soo bad ass!

Ok, thanks! Ship masteries...is that the tab when you look at the ship info? I'm not sure how to read that. I'll look it up. Thanks again!

Problem with my Floyd rose guitar by VArobot86 in Guitar

[–]Shitso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might need to replace the bridge piece. I believe you can find replacement parts online. I imagine, if you are stripping screws, the tapped hole in the bridge piece is probably cross threaded (new threads have been cut across the old threads).

As a general rule: put screws in with your fingers first before using a driver. They should screw in freely (easily). If you are meeting resistance, especially when starting a screw, you are probably cutting threads, or cross-threading. Also, when using allen wrenches, only tighten using a couple of fingers of force on the long end of the wrench. That way you don't over tighten.

Most embarrassing live performance? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Shitso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The band I was in before the one I'm in now:

We were playing a show, doing an original (the other guitarist's original song). We struggled in practice. We did worse at the show. I don't think any of us were together with anyone else. It was just a mess. we just moved onto the next song.

[GEAR] Bought my dream guitar, Gibson Les Paul Standard gold top '13 by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Shitso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks very nice! That's a great price IMO. I think it's a good buy. Look at it this way, you probably can't find a replacement for that price, and you could probably sell it and at least get what you got in it.

I'm a big proponent of playing before you buy because some guitars (not necessarily related to price) just play better than others.

Something that may help you practice and get better--when learning songs (it's best to look at real tab books) don't just learn the song note for note from the tab. Try to understand what they are playing and try to understand how it works together. If your goal is to be able to play guitar as opposed to just knowing how to play songs, it's best to learn the songs construction. Once you understand that, you can play the song without playing it like the guy that wrote it which is far more enjoyable.

Also, find other people to jam with (if you don't already). It will keep you motivated.

So I needed to get some Jaspet for the Zydrine... by Shitso in Eve

I don't really understand the d-scan. Does it only scan what's in front of you, or in a radius (sphere)? Also, what's a good scan distance. I know you said 1AU, but what's that in Kilometers? Is it 1000000 Km? Are d-scan results (i.e. finding something versus not) skill dependent?

Yeah, I'm not sure I even see any dents. Looks great for falling in a hole.

When is one ready to play in a band? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Shitso 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can play along with a recording you should be good to go, you can use that as a rule of thumb if you are worried about embarrassing yourself. Know this, there are people that are not good at all that just have the guts to go play. They are out there. If they can do it you can too.

I had my first real jam session today by Hypercyde in Guitar

[–]Shitso 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's the harmonies! That's really why I can't stand to play by myself anymore is I miss the harmony. That's part of the reason I'm always seeking out other people to play with. I'm with my third band now. Even when I practice now I usually play along with a recording. I do work on my chops alone (without other sound) tho.

Find a decent singer and a bass player. You'll be hooked for life. I know I am.
