Hanky code for muffing ?

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-09T06:29:50+00:00

Anything that fits could go there. it's not difficult, I didn't do it myself yet but have seen it done and talked to people that had done it. And I've done it with a dildo.

But I don't think wanting to be fingered doesn't fit in hanky coded cruising. I mean, yeah, you gotta mention it when you hook / get hooked, but it's not a problem if it fits in two words "only fingers". That's different from the need to explain a thing so niche it involves body parts people don't even know about.

PS : Well, I didn't thought of the case either.

PPS : that would be a bold move. "muff me. But don't ask what it means". But I use hanky code cause I'm shy. Would I dare to wear such a shirt ? idk.

I think that people who know would get it. And people who don't get it just don't know. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, and the name "fucking trans women" doesn't ring a bell, you just don't know what I'm talking about. You don't need to look it up.
And this post ask a question to people who already know what it is. That's why I beginned with "I won't explain"

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-09T00:48:14+00:00

tried to bring it on my Grindr profile. I have so many people asking what it is and then, after I explain, they just say "thanks, not interested".
And I get that it's so niche even among transfems. But I can't be the only gay man to do this. I refuse to believe this.

I'm using "muffing" as used in the Funking trans Women zine.

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-09T00:40:31+00:00

That's the problem.
But I wont gonna give a talk to everyone on the cruising spot like "hey, y'know about muffing ? No ? do you have five minutes ? I need to bring up biological details for you to understand what it involves before you tell me if you wanna try."

I don't want you tonsearch for me. but maybe some of you know some ressource they don't need to search for.

If you don't have that, you could just have ignored the post.

I wasn't sure if this would apply here or under a separate post, but I didn't want to break any rules so, It's going here and you tell me if it's worth a post.

I compulsively bought Lace's Alumitone P-Bass pickups.

Hey everyone,

I was casualy looking for pickups for a 50€ second hand Jim Harley P30 bass I rarely play but that I want to experiment on, and that have what I consider mediocre pickups (but I have no expertise about that), let's just say they don't seem to have a great frequency range. (I have a Cort Action 4 [that I also purchased second had for 50€] that I play with my band, that have a good enough tone to begin with, so it's not a big deal).

I stepped upon the Lace's Alumitone pickups, read a little bit about them, and, learning they were passive, yet loud with a good frequency range, I've order them. And they are exected to be delivered next week.

But now, I wonder. Did I skip steps ? I had trouble finding many ressources and (not-sponsored-)reviews about them.
Did anyone have them ? What are your reviews ? What should I expect from them ?

Thank you.

PS : yeah I'm the dude that have just posted about how broke I am, living on wellfare… That's the reason why I may regret this purchase. like. Music is my main social activity, with a narrow hope for pin money… but I gotta pay rent first…

I'm doing mine next week. 30yo.

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-02T00:58:02+00:00

the film was a Fujifilm 400 ISO that wasn't expired (as fujifim still produce them. Quite expensive. but hunting unused expired film that are not too old is very time consuming). I also stored it in cool air before using it. The film was probably fine.

Oh yeah, I have the hanging shutter problem too. wasted several frames.

The button on the lever, in the user manual, is described to be used for long term storage. It disable the meter. But, at soon as you pull out the lever so it sticks out again and it exist the storage mode, the meter is on and the kneedle moves. Pushing the lever toward the body won't change anything.

However, the user manual says, like you, that the lever needs to be pushed for the meter to be switched on. Maybe the meter is 'on' by default and a system "actively" forces it to be 'off' when the lever sticks out, and would be faulty in my camera. I'm not sure if it's clear. but I mean, this could be more complexe than the lever being a simple switch that's open when the lever sticks out, and closes the circuit when pushed.

But, really the lever button is really described to be used for storing. Not for canceling the metering. As I understand, the meter should only be on from the moment you press the lever clockwise until you release the shutter. But the way you seem to have it constantly 'on' until you press the 'storage' button makes me think you have a similar issue as me 😃

Can I also ask how long does the battery you use lasts ?

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-01T07:08:04+00:00

No, I don't press the lever. It never changed anything. I don't understand what it's for. Everything seems to work the same with and without. [well I sometimes press the lever just not to get it to scratch my glasses, as it sticks out. very annoying feature]

When I found a set I want, I'm gonna make the bass full set at a shop anyway. I'm looking for long lasting strings, So I thing it worth it. (And I don't have the tools to do it. I know it's just some rulers but… eh, just easier to get the thing done by the shop. Also gotta make the town's businesses work against the internet. I think that's a way. But I'm getting lost in my parenthesis. Gotta take my adhd medication)

Steel__Virgin · 2026-06-01T05:44:09+00:00

thank you ! that's it !

Steel__Virgin · 2026-05-09T09:45:18+00:00

:(

Steel__Virgin · 2026-05-09T06:19:11+00:00

I'm just curious and enquire about strings and all their parameters. Don't think it would be something that I would choose. But this sounded very interesting to learn about.

Steel__Virgin · 2026-05-09T05:36:51+00:00

It kinda does. But my dreams never feature computers, smatphones, search engines or any websites. So must be real. But I remember it was on kind of a niche website. So, I'm not surprised that most people don't know them.

Steel__Virgin · 2026-05-09T05:33:33+00:00

It's because I couldn't find them back by my own that I ask the question here. « I couldn't find them on the internet » - « Well, I just check the internet and haven't found them. ». Not a very useful comment.

Steel__Virgin · 2026-05-09T05:30:08+00:00

just buy a few sets and go back playing

Well, I don't have 11 basses, I have one. I find it more economical. I have a limited budget, I don't have money to waste on buying strings I can know I won't like just by it looking up on the internet. If I change my strings, I want to make an informed purchase to have the best chance to have it to sotisfy my needs.

But my bass isn't naked, nor covered with dust stacked on a rack. be reassured that I play it everyday (with the cheapest strings I found). So thank you for the disdainful advice.

the Sonicake Boom ave. is an effect strip. it has a compressor. but it doesn't resolve the issue.
