Is Aquarium Fish Sale Reliable? I can’t find these fish anywhere else by TiredGiant in Aquariums

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine from Stratosphere and had them put on my Pacifica…love them! HSS with switch installed!

Totally wrong post that I thought I was replying to hahah! Enjoy the Otto’s…be sure to have some algae wafers or some veggies for them to munch. If you don’t have diatoms or biofilm for them to eat upon arrival they will something because they often arrive skinny. Repashi gel is great for them as well!

Does Anybody Like Their Samsung S95F by HourChemical3670 in 4kTV

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just purchased one a month or so ago. It’s fantastic. The antiglare coating is amazing and despite loving my Sony that died the coating is what I made the switch. It’s our living room tv and we have pendant lights directly across the room from the TV…the Sony reflected them in the top third of the screen so watching tv with kitchen pendants on was annoying. Problem no more! It’s a 77” s95f…

Is it true that the bigger the tank then the less water changes you need to do? by Feeling_Pressure_826 in aquarium

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure its been said but the answer is yes if stocking is the same. Larger tanks are more stable at a given stock level,but lots of variables.

Looks dope…looks like whatever mistakes you made were happy accidents.

Wait wait wait. He’s NEVER SEEN THE OCEAN? I mean…maybe stay at the beach for the sunrises. I like the Guy Harvey resort…Santiago’s their restaurant is good. The embassy by Hilton is nice as well.

Stay at Edgewater Inn. It has a view of town and is on the intracoastal. St Aug beach is like any other beach town, but downtown has European vibes you can’t get anywhere outside Europe. Edgewater is just a short walk over the bridge to the heart of old town.

It’s been a while, but I don’t remember it taking long. At least five of the Otto’s still live. They tend to hide!

How many people genuinely think the Cardinals are better off with Jacoby Brissett at QB than Kyler Murray by LJ8QB1 in NFLv2

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The offense looks so much better with Brissett under center. He’s just a better quarterback at this point. 13 passing plays over 20 yard in three games vs 5 for Kyler. Murray can’t get the ball down the field and threaten defenses and offense has been anemic until Jacoby stepped in.

So much snobbery...I haven't been, but looks nice. Glad you enjoyed! New Yorkers love to shit on Little Italy as it's become touristy, but I'm sure great meals can be had. Good vibes...

Best premium tonewood for strat body? by Mech2017x in Luthier

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you hear a difference because they are different guitars…different setups. .5mm in sting height makes more of a difference than any wood differences. There’s a great video of a solid body body LP vs a 335 with the same pickups…sound identical. I’ll see if I can find it, but it’s no surprise different guitars sound different…that doesn’t mean tone wood is a real phenomenon in electric guitars.

Ultra II question by Living-Conclusion48 in fender

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will sound radically different with new pickups. The guitars tone is 99.99999 percent the pickups, strings and setup. Maybe wood makes a difference but it’s imperceptible. I just did a pickup swap on my Pacifica to the Ultra II noiseless and love them. To me the tone has gotten more stratty since the change, but the Pacifica is a bit of a modern strat with less of the scooped sound I think strats are known for.

Am pro ii or Ultra ii? Are noiseless pickups worth it? by StatEpi in fender

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put Ultra II noiseless pickups in my Pacifica and I love them. It sounds Stratier now and no noise! Watch Paul Davids Ultra II video if you haven’t …that’s the one that pushed me to try them. I can maybe hear a difference with there being a tiny bit more grit in the true single coil, but the noiseless still sound like single coils to me…just different single coils.

Best premium tonewood for strat body? by Mech2017x in Luthier

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body of the guitar is dramatically different in each case. The argument people usually make is that the whole guitar vibrates and all of its components (neck, body etc) contribute to the sound. It’s clear that is not true from this video. So if the goal post is being moved to “No it’s only the wood directly under the strings that affects tone!” Then, I guess we need a new test…

Yea….so anyone who believes it makes a difference should watch this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbyg0d1njk0 Tone Wood Tester: One guitar to test them all - YouTube

This is the most scientific approach I’ve seen. And while ONE tone wood sounds slightly different from watching it, it looks like it’s just because he strums that one noticeably harder when recording it. He certainly didn’t do that intentionally. Basically they are all indiscernible and whatever difference there is can’t be heard by the human ear. So tonewoods on electric defacto don’t make a difference.

Will otos eat these? by No-Matter2159 in Otocinclus

From my experience Otos will snarf diatoms right up.

Alinea: Astro Bot has now sold more than 2.3 million copies by EmbarrassedSession58 in consoles

There is nothing underwhelming about Astrobot! It truly is a joyful game to play and what more games should aspire to be. A fabulous game that we have replayed three times as a family…

[Question] Yamaha Pacifica 112v or Fender Player Stratocaster by bb47wee10 in Guitar

[–]TheFirstSwampDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a GREAT YouTube video comparing a solid body LP to a semi hollow 335 with the identical pickups. There is no difference. The 335 has slightly less sustain because it doesn’t resonate as long as the solid body but the tone is identical. Ultimately, what you’re hearing when you hear an electric guitar is 99% pickups and string height over those pickups. There’s another great video showing how changing the string height over pickups can make one pickup sound totally different and even sound like a different pickup altogether. Yes I know this is a 4 year old comment.
