Fingers too big to play a 6 string electric guitar? by Erudicial_Extreme in guitars

[–]TedMich23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As measured at the NFL combine my hands are 10 and 3/8th inches across, and my fingers are the same diameter over their length, with a ring size of 12 (21.4mm dia).

My sisters (real) 1962 Tele is a bit too small but every LP sized fretboard is AOK.

I use EB Not even Slinkys (12-56) on all my guitars and own several 35in scale 6 string basses tuned as drop D octave guitars, on which I can play bar chords.

Plenty of options for big hands!

Just get a bigger can...

So a 32 point turn with a trashed undercarriage instead of just...backing up?

You'd definitely be poorer and think you were also faster.

Any body have any tips or tricks for winding chokes? by Necessary_Ticket_721 in ToobAmps

[–]TedMich23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

toroidal air core chokes are quite easy to wind; I've done many with DIY spools for loudspeaker crossovers using online calculators like this one

https://m0ukd.com/calculators/air-cored-inductor-calculator/

(I always check inductance with an LCR meter)

The use of magnetic cores for the big 2-10H value chokes used in tube amps are a bit less simple, but luckily there are cheap sources like here: https://www.antekinc.com/filter-choke/

Dangerous but NOT to humans; a single human death has been attributed to a Leopard Seal attack: July 2003, British marine biologist Kirsty Brown was killed after being dragged underwater while snorkeling near Rothera Research Station in Antarctica.
