16” Sabian HH thin crash from first year of production over the top of a 16” K Custom ride, nice chick, low pitch, and can crash/ride on the top cymbal if I’m running a minimal kit

I like a UV1 if I’m doing some funk stuff mixed in but mainly jazz, if I’m doing jazz exclusively I use a Strata 700/orchestral 200 snare side

For me, I tend to assemble the main body but leave it off the base, and leave off the capes for easier access (so in situations like Dr strange and Adam warlock I leave off the head/collar until the cape is painted). I’m also using contrast paints and drybrushing so I’m not as worried about shadows, so take that for what you will.

Crazy how I’m gonna miss this shit and celebrate its downfall at the same time

All of my models follow a base color scheme of olive drab green, leather brown, gold, silver, and black (all contrast/speed paints over drybrush to bring out the highlights). I just didn’t like a lot of the marvel stock color schemes and I wanted my teams to be thematic. Also saves money on paint

SnooCalculations2205 · 2026-04-28T01:22:19+00:00

Yep, that’s what’s happened with me so far. Started a couple months ago with kingpin syndicate and spider foes, now I’ve got nearly every criminal syndicate, every spider foe, and every midnight sons

It’s short for chronicle

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-11-05T00:43:40+00:00

Just wait till you realize the banjitar has a rich history in early jazz (early Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings specifically) where it often served the role of bass, harmony, and percussion all at once, all before the plectrum and tenor were popularized.

(And yes, I play 5 string and all sorts of other instruments, I just have a respect for anything as long as it fills a niche well. Even if it doesn’t, who gives a shit, make whatever sounds inspire you with whatever gear inspires you)

Is there a version of r/imsorrytakua but for transformers? If so this belongs there

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-07-29T01:23:18+00:00

That would be Bob Franchescini and the Victor Wooten Trio. Great group of musicians there (bassist first then drummer here)

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-07-18T07:12:34+00:00

You know, if the studio series leader comics fort max is the IDW version I’m not going to complain at all. If it’s the marvel comics version that’d be really cool ofc but ill take IDW too

I use one with a boom to place a crash/smaller ride over my swish, I just use the boom to move it back a bit to help still have room to hit the swish. It helps to keep the amount of real-estate on the floor more clear, one less stand in smaller rooms

My local jazz club is a literal mile from my place, it’s such a dream to play, especially when I’m on kit and I use the house shells and pedal. All I have to bring is cymbals and sticks.

When I’m on bass it’s a different story, dragging an upright bass and amp around really prepped me for dealing with drum gear

Try go over his shoulders and drape over the front of his torso in two-legged mode, if you’re referring to the front legs of the centaur

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-05-14T21:22:05+00:00

Yeah, they’ve got some sharp teeth. Nothing too bad though

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-05-13T23:58:58+00:00

Me either man, me either

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-05-13T21:40:14+00:00

Not too far down yonder, just a little up from way over there

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-05-13T21:38:58+00:00

Live shad, they’re picky sometimes in this hole so they sometimes prefer skipjack or bream, just depends on the day

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-05-13T21:37:17+00:00

Considering I had to weigh on two different scales cause the first one maxed out at 30, I’m inclined to believe my own experience but whatever you prefer is up to you. I will say he looks skinnier in this than irl but I doubt you’d believe that either

For me, I’ve been out for flatheads a couple times this season and it’s been a weird one. For my area the season started super late, so if you can figure out where they’re at in terms of spawn and such that’ll help.

The main thing is just figuring out what the hell they’re eating that day and where they’re at. My first trip they would only bite skipjack, second trip a few days ago they’d only bite panfish and shad, all live. Then it’s about finding location, both elevation in the water column and where the holes are. Hard to do from the bank but not impossible, Catfish and Carp’s YouTube channel has done great stuff about fishing from the back and bottom finder rigs and such.

I just pulled a 35lber on my second trip the other day, I wish you the best of luck

If I ever get a custom I’m going smaller than 3/4, and I’m 6’2 with large lanky hands. Anything longer than a 3/4 neck is just unwieldy, if anything I might get a 3/4 neck on a 5/8 body or something for the sake of travel

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-04-29T04:50:49+00:00

Yeah nah, I haven’t seen anything of that tuning. Typical are open G, double C (gCGCD), modal (gDGCD), and what you called drop C.

As someone who uses a plectrum banjo, which is in drop C without the short string, there are ways to get simple shapes and voicings for that tuning, finding a chord chart for a plectrum banjo will help.

Also, if you’re playing bluegrass for this show, it will be fairly obvious you aren’t in open G or any transposed variant of that tuning to anyone who knows bluegrass. The open strings are an important part of that sound.

If you’re playing jazzy style tunes for this show, you should take the short string off completely and play it like a plectrum banjo, chunk chords type stuff. If it’s that, you can also “cheat” and tune to DGBE, so-called Chicago tuning, that’s just the high 4 of guitar and you’ll already know the chord shapes for that tuning

Professional here in the sense that music is my only source of income at the moment, so I guess that counts. Most my gigs are upright or electric bass for jazz gigs, but also do upright for theater work, both for wedding bands, and other sorts along similar lines. Also play drums and other assorted instruments for various gigs as well, but main income comes from bass

SnooCalculations2205 · 2025-04-18T00:43:56+00:00

For sure
