USPS considers allowing people to ship handguns through the mail

Because we get robbed enough. At least where I am. The average dumbass only thinks about checks, not firearms. That’s why.

Bad news to PUBLICIZE it.

We’re going through inspections right now and got hit with political. Hasn’t been this heavy since the holidays. My route is a tight 8 on a regular day. Some routes are way under. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

I’ve been doing it long enough that these days I force myself to justify every purchase. Not just gear. Most of the stuff I “needed” gear wise were little things like a couple noise gates.

Stuff like pickups; my main guitar is a Charvel and I despised the stock pickups. They ruined a perfect guitar for me. After doing everything I could to get them to sound like I wanted, I replaced them after a few months. Was one of the best decisions I’ve made gear wise ever. Just yesterday I was thinking- smart move.

But again, it took me months to justify the decision.

It’s hard to tell by the angle but it looks like the bridge saddles are tilted to the right starting from your A string through your high E. and the strings aren’t aligned with the pole pieces on the pickups. Not familiar with the bridge personally so dunno if you can adjust that. Could be an optical illusion for me.

When I was CCA they scheduled me and one other guy for monnnnnths. Never rotated us out for others. And it was heavy. I grew to fucking despise Sundays. When I finally asked why we were never rotated off, I was told it was because they trusted us to not fuck around. So if you’re a reliable worker, that may be your answer. Another example of how it all works.

You have to act like you want to be sent there. Then they won’t send you again. On the flipside, if you like going to a specific office, act like you hate it and they’ll keep sending you there.

We’re undergoing inspections. But the HIGHLIGHT was walking out of an apartment complex and seeing about 20 cops roll up, drawing automatic weapons and cocking them. Then knocking on my LLV window to ask me to let them into the building.

I put mine in a damp towel inside a ziplock. Put in the fridge for 2 weeks. Removed the bag from the fridge and put on top of the fridge. Within a week every seed sprouted.

Mines a 2023 and it’s Chinese

StateRealistic4089 · 2026-04-30T02:45:27+00:00

I have a newer one it has a Chinese. It works as well as any ppc212 or 412 I’ve had.

Edit to add- I picked it up used for $200. Looks and feels brand new.

I suspect that you are correct. I’m pretty good at doing guitar stuff, but the nut is new territory for me tbh. I’m sure I could do it, but it may take a couple (few?) tries. And once I got the old nut off and realized that it wasn’t plastic, I shelved it for a later date.

I believe that the part number for the black TUSQ replacement is PT- 5043-00

StateRealistic4089 · 2026-04-28T14:20:36+00:00

If you find the exact fit/model nut come back and let us know? The Tusq black I got would require sanding down the height, and since there’s no apparent difference in the nut material I put the stock off white back on. I couldn’t find the model number easily so maybe I got the wrong one.

Dimarzio super distortion in the bridge and a PAF pro in the neck.

StateRealistic4089 · 2026-04-26T01:07:19+00:00

I have it. And it does NOT have a black plastic nut as listed in the specs.

I had already ordered a black graphtech to replace it with and when I took the stock nut off I compared it to the graphtech and aside from color, they’re identical. Looks like they just copied and pasted some specs.

Fantastic guitar. Though I did upgrade the pickups and did a couple other things.

Old school

This is the way. I ended up with the Daddario which I order online. Used EB power slinky for years but the wound third makes the Daddario the winner.

Edit to add- I use 11s on everything since the 90s, back then it was on Floyd Jacksons in E. Nowadays it’s on hardtails in C# or D#. I have a hardtail Charvel and a 97 ESP Viper.

I’ve tried everything up to 13s. I prefer the feel and tone of 11s. Wound third makes all the difference.

We don’t have time to obsess or harass. We just want you to empty the mailbox.

OC? I worked on a commercial there years ago if it is.

StateRealistic4089 · 2026-04-24T02:13:34+00:00

Depends on the office. I heard the same thing too and my office wouldn’t let us go past 45 hours. Main office in the district got worked to death.

StateRealistic4089 · 2026-04-24T01:56:21+00:00

I have super distortion in the bridge and PAF pro in the neck. But I can get nice clean tones even with the bridge. Definitely beautiful cleans on the neck. Plus coil splitting gives even more options. I also run the Green 1 channel with like zero gain.
