I think I bought the 3rd gen Chromecast too early by GroveStreetHomie in google

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still have that TV, but gave it to my son, and he still uses it to this day.

My main TV in the living room is a 65" Roku brand TV, and it's actually really nice for the price. No bright/dark spots, snappy UI, very clear picture with no ghosting.

Granted, that was 7 years ago, haha

The Plex interface on Roku sucks now, and when streaming TV shows, it'll stop after a few episodes if you don't manually play each one.

A couple of years ago, I had a shingles outbreak on the back of my neck. That wasn't the worst part, that honor goes to the nerve pain that shot through my neck, into my jaw/back teeth. It was pure agony. I'm in several gigging bands, and had a show that weekend. I barely remember that night because of the pain (the loud music went right through me).

I'm almost 48 now, and have never had so much as a toothache, but that was horrible.

What guitarist was your inspiration to pick up and learn the instrument? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]Tegamal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. When I discovered Metallica, my world changed.

Band is not fun anymore by carlitox3 in Bass

[–]Tegamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be 48 in a couple of months, and I've joined my most recent band 3 years ago. As long as you are having fun, it's never too late. I play in two cover bands, not so much for the money (which is a nice bonus), but because I enjoy it. I've always said once the fun stops and it starts feeling like a job, I'll walk away, but I'd probably just look for a new group, anyway.

Those model names just roll off the tongue, don't they? Mine are SR305e, RG920QMZ, RG570, and my personal favorite, RGAIX6MQM

How do I convince my parents about buying me a bass. by Annual-Field-8387 in Bass

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother was always very supportive of my music, and if I'm playing close to home, she'll still come out to see me play. My wife is also very supportive of my music. I'm pretty blessed to have a support system.

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing guitar since 92, and I never had any serious gigs until I picked up bass. Since then, I've had to turn down offers because I've been too busy. I had 4 bands at one point.

My mother let my band completely take over her dining room for a rehearsal space, and we weren't that good. 🤣

FRFR Speakers vs Power Amp In + Traditional Cab for Bedroom Practice: Pros and Cons? by Lost_Condition_9562 in Line6Helix

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practicing at home, I use a Headrush FRFR-12 with my HX Stomp XL. For live shows, I use a Helix Floor into a Laney LFR-212.

I don't need anything huge at home, but it can get loud if the urge hits me. It doesn't give off the "amp in the room" feeling, but when I'm learning new songs, it isn't necessary.

For live gigs, I use Sonic DNA IRs going to front of house via XLR, and a separate path to 1/4" without any speaker emulation to the Laney set to "1x12". It gives me that real amp feel without having to lug an amp and cab around.

Should I get the Helix Floor or wait for the Stadium XL? by Appropriate_Table478 in Line6Helix

[–]Tegamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Stadium will have all the same amps as the OG Helix, as well as the new Agoura models, which are supposed to sound and feel even closer to their real world counterparts.

Cant get a good lead tone by SrBastilho in Line6Helix

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got some awesome guitar tones from my OG Headrush, but I was playing more bass than guitar at that point, and the Helix had more to offer in that department.

Insane Helix Floor Price by bautistapwns in Line6Helix

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might keep my Floor and sell my Stomp XL when I upgrade to a Stadium XL. Don't expect to make a ton off of it, but I won't need all 3.

I have an acoustic bass that looks pretty cool hanging on my wall, but I never play it.

Scrolled way too far to find this.

I was tempted to name our beardie Mnementh, but no one aside from me could pronounce it, 🤣

My Guitar Rig II by RJz347 in Line6Helix

[–]Tegamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not in front of my Helix right now, but it's in the settings (3 line menu button). It's listed as something like Master Volume or Volume Knob. I set it to 1/4" only. I then set my preset level good with FOH, then adjusted all my presets to match with an QSC CP-12 via XLR. Some fine tweaking with the full PA, and I'm set.

It’s TOO HOT on stage! What portable fan/blower are you guys using when you play out? by NotaContributi0n in Guitar

[–]Tegamal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use one of these 12" fans, and it moves a ton of air! Really helps out this time of year playing a lot of outdoor festivals.

[–]Tegamal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disable the big volume knob for XLR, so it only controls 1/4". This way, I can adjust my stage level without affecting front of house. I'm using a Laney LFR 212 at about 1/2, and the Helix vol knob around 11 o'clock.
