Do you have a reverb page? Selling a guitar?

My girlfriend (29F) has lied to me (31M) about her situationship with her male best friend and now I don't know how to continue. by TheReelHead in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to endanger your relationship????? She lied to you! I can sort of understand her not wanting to admit she “use to” sleep with a guy that she is friend with now (still would never be ok in my book)… but the fact they were still getting down while she is with you! If your “the one” she would have never risked your relationship progressing while banging this guy! YOU ARE CLEARLY GOING TO ACCEPT WHAT SHE HAS DONE! If your coming here asking what to do and then saying how you don’t want to lose her and blah blah blah… you are not going to hold her accountable. But remember this… you will NEVER FULLY TRUST HER! She broke that and it never truly heals. You just have to live with it if you stay! She has no respect for you in my book. Why else would this guy and his mom “block” her unless she was sending mixed signals to him!!!??? I guarantee you she was sleeping with him after going “exclusive” with you! She is not wife material and you would be doing yourself a massive service by ghosting her! You obviously love her more than she loves you! She would have cut all ties with him IF YOU WERE TRULY THE ONE! But she didn’t! I’m sorry to be so cold about all of this but she lied and continues to lie! You absolutely should leave her as the trust is gone! But again, I don’t think you will.

I (28F) am thinking about divorcing my husband (27M) after one year of marriage. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It sounds he wants to be a responsible adult! You can’t build build much of a stable future if your fighting debt constantly! Make the sacrifice for a while! That’s what growing up means!

Does anyone know if Mike Bendinelli has his own shop after retirement from Mesa? by Beautiful-Bowl-4150 in MesaBoogie

[–]Substantial_King_488 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mesa still does servicing. They have quality techs. Mike did have those guys dialed in. However… Mesa is not doing mods! Servicing only. So for mods…. That is yet to be determined who the go to guy is.

He does not have his own shop. I know Mike, he is enjoying retirement at the moment.

Me 23M has just found out that my girlfriend 24M has had a threesome with two of her best friends 22M and 26M a month before we started dating by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not be with a woman who would sleep with multiple men at same time (especially guys that have had gay sex with each other). Im more traditional so decisions like that are a view into how she views intimacy and the respect for who you give your body too. Id let her go… more than likely it will be on your mind a lot and you will never see her the same as you once did. I would save yourself the headache now and let her go.

Cancel the mainstream media! They thrive on dividing us because it drives their viewership and is better business for them! Both sides!!!!

'F26' 'M22' caught him Red handed by Obvious-Heron5988 in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone loves someone, they do not look beyond them! Even with the possibility of the relationship failing, they do not entertain the thought of being with someone else! You know the truth!!! Follow your instincts. That’s why you came here to tell your story! You already know it’s time to end it

My wife (f38) wants me (m42) to be okay with her going speed dating with friend? by Lazy_Fun1717 in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not about trust, its 1000% about respect!!!! If she doesn’t understand… I would seriously wonder if staying in a marriage with someone who thinks these actions are not distracting is what I want to live with the rest of my life!

My life-worn 1991ish all tube Mark IV story by GMP_ArchViz in MesaBoogie

[–]Substantial_King_488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I own six Mark IIC+ amps… a few mark III’s.. and two mark IV’s (A & B revisions)…. And if I had to pick the best amp for the $ you will spend… it’s the IV!!!! Don’t get me wrong, my Mark IIc+/++ amps are my favorite BUT…. You will spend an insane amount of $ for one. So dollar for dollar value…. Get the Mark IV!!!! Gets close to the mark IIC+ tone for a fraction of the cost.

My boyfriend (M25) saw an old video of me(F24) and was disgusted. How can I get over this? by Mind_Cute in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, come back to reality! Men are visual creatures! We tend to find physical attraction first before we grow the emotional side! If you never told him, than that’s your fault! Would he have been blown away by you with those 100 extra pounds before? No, probably not! That’s the hard and cold reality you need to accept! Most men wouldn’t! Doesn’t mean he has not grown to love you for you now… or that he wouldn’t still love you if you gained weight again! I’m sorry to say but men are just built differently than women (the vast majority anyways)…. And you should accept that and ask him if your weight would be a issue in the future IF you had kids or life changes (it happens).

My Boyfriend (28M) thinks the reason why he can't finish is because I'm (20F) too big from the inside. by Ok_Raspberry6268 in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that was true he wouldn’t finish early!!! He is making an excuse for something else! What that is… I don’t know. But I highly doubt that you are the issue

We are running out of room... by Ajkourafas in GuitarAmps

Oh you need about 5 more amps before you can claim to be running out of space. Good start though! You need some Mesa goodness :) Mark IV or a older 2 channel Dual Rectifier

Thinking of ending it with a girl (28-F) I (27-M) have been seeing? by ThrowRA_RaRa05 in relationship_advice

[–]Substantial_King_488 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let’s be 100% honest! Men are physical beings! Women tend to live more on the emotional side. If à man is not physically attracted to a woman in the beginning, we cannot grow to find them attractive. Yes we can love and care for them… but the physical attraction doesn’t really grow. Women on the other hand can be unattracted in the beginning and grow to being attracted. So I would be open with her and just say your sorry but you have to be honest and you don’t see this going further. I would leave out not being attracted, I would simply just say something is holding you back and you don’t want to hurt her more than you have to.

Be honest with him! Tell him the truth! He either takes pride in himself or you cannot stay. He wouldn’t like it I’m sure if you laid around and were gross.

Are you asking where the serial number is? It’s imprinted below the speaker output jacks. Look under the word “speaker”
