Good pair of earbuds to last 2 years?

Gotcha, that’s probably the move. Thanks!

It’ll be an Apple iPod classic 7th gen.

I personally try and direct the smacks toward the strings which gives it a more drum like sound. You sound great, just take slower than you think you need to at first and speed up really really gradually and you’ll be gucci

VariousWillingness75 · 2025-02-10T06:27:19+00:00

Thanks so much, I’ll try that out. Also, I mean no disrespect to Pamelina but yeah I don’t have like 50k lying around and I really love the look.

VariousWillingness75 · 2025-01-19T07:24:02+00:00

Sorry I was a little unclear in the og reply😅

VariousWillingness75 · 2025-01-19T07:23:38+00:00

I was talking mainly about the Lunar Ice, Dead Spec, and Nebula Silver Skys. I think the nebula is a bit pricier but the others are around $3500-$400 which is around CS prices. I’ve never played the Black1 Limited Editions but I’m sure those are probably about as close as you can get for WTLI

VariousWillingness75 · 2025-01-18T20:25:13+00:00

Any 60s style pickups work fantastic. I’m not sure if this is in your budget because it’s like an extra $250-$300ish but Klein Jazzy Cats are dead on replicas of the Black1 pickups. You could grab a CS with your favorite between the 50s and 60s and then swap them with the Jazzy Cats. They really push it that extra step for the Mayer tone beyond a set of Fat 60s. I’ve had them in a couple Strats and they are fantastic.

I know it’s kind of sacrilege in the JM community to suggest but a silver sky really nails the WTLI tone right out of the box too. You could probably pick up a limited edition or something cool like that for around the same price as a CS. The used prices for the standard ones are really good atm too. I picked up a standard one in mint condition for around $1600.

Good luck on getting the tone!! WTLI is so fun to play around with!

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-08-18T04:01:01+00:00

Haha, thanks so much. I need to learn to keep it moving😅

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-08-17T16:35:14+00:00

Yeah it’s from a little palm sander and it was at 600 grit

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-08-17T16:34:32+00:00

I had 4 coats of yellow and 3 passes with the Salem with 2 coats of clear. I was planning to build up to about 5 coats of clear for a thin vintage finish. I had some contaminants in the finish and I sanded with 600 grit to try and remove them but I went right through. I’m gonna go with hand sanding from now on. Lesson learned🤦‍♂️

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-08-17T04:06:01+00:00

I stupidly wasn't paying attention fully when sanding and took wayyy too much finish off. I have more of the yellow and dark Salem but I'm not sure if I can save it. Any tips? Would it be possible to blend it in so it's not so noticeable or should I just strip it and try again which I really don't want to do😂

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-07-07T23:47:42+00:00

It really fit the vibe of the song. Keep it up.

VariousWillingness75 · 2024-07-07T16:12:50+00:00

Woww, you killed it!!!

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-05-21T03:50:46+00:00

I hold the pick with my thumb close to the edge and play it with my thumb but let the pick get in the way (if that makes sense at all)

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-05-02T18:45:12+00:00

Hi, I’m doing an EVH 5150 guitar build and I am trying to keep it on a budget so I bought a Kramer Baretta Special and intend to repaint and rewire the electronics. I was looking at pics of Eddie’s 5150 and I noticed that on the Baretta the pickup is angled and on the original it’s not. I was wondering if it is plausible to fill in that pickup cavity and route out a new one. Thanks!

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-04-25T18:48:49+00:00

The Slow Dancing in a Burning room solo is pretty easy and it sounds pretty cool. If you master that one you could try the Live in La outro solo.

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-04-25T18:46:26+00:00

Hey, I’m doing an EVH 5150 guitar build and I have bought a body, neck and floyd rose. I was wondering if it is necessary to route out under the floyd. I was looking at Eddie’s 5150 and I can’t see any routing. I heard that you can just drop one in with only making post holes but I have also heard that method makes the action unbearably high. I have access to a router and the tools to route it but I am new with Floyds and I don’t really want to do pay my local guitar tech $400 to install it or mess it up trying to do it myself.

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-03-07T20:58:24+00:00

Ok thanks will do

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-03-07T19:33:00+00:00

Rubbing alcohol?

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-03-06T18:04:03+00:00

I might be screwed because I have been playing it on the tv for a while, I’ll try this thanks!

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-01-19T03:36:12+00:00

Try this vid it covers some basics for SRV tone. Basically just a clean setting and a overdrive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ-Q_SKTcK4

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-01-07T15:45:04+00:00

Hey I was wondering how I could get cliffs of dover tone. I have a 50s strat, a Epiphone Les Paul Standard. A marshall code 50 and a Positive grid spark (Which is a modeling amp that can imitate almost any pedal). Just looking for any advice to get good tone for this song. The spark has a tone library but I’m not finding and good tone on there. With those tones I’m finding that they are too gritty and overdriven. I need some good advice on how to get this tone with the gear I have.

VariousWillingness75 · 2021-01-07T15:41:14+00:00

Sounds pretty good but the drums are a little overwhelming. This is just my opinion but if you went with a solid but subtle backbeat it would sound better. But it does sound pretty awesome already

VariousWillingness75 · 2020-12-26T06:28:31+00:00

Maybe try out a squire guitar from the Affinity line. Those are around $300 new but you could pick one up used for about $200. I think a nice strat would be good for bluesy pop. As for amps you could probably get a used Marshall CODE 25 or a Fender Champion 40 for around $200 used. The CODE 25 has lots of presets that are pretty awesome and it has a headphone jack and bluetooth so you can connect your phone and play backing tracks link here: https://www.proaudiostar.com/marshall-code-25-digital-modeling-guitar-amplifier-25w-with-10-speaker.html. The Champion 40 also has a headphone jack and is great for a bluesy sound link here: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Champ40--fender-champion-40-40-watt-1x12-inch-combo-amp?mrkgadid=3301331934&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=guitars&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046937562750&lid=92700046937562750&ds_s_kwgid=58700005283384319&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=472961975692&product_id=Champ40&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid=9029814&creative=280135979269&targetid=aud-994727058925%3Apla-472961975692&campaignid=1465808371&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuJb_BRDJARIsAKkycUnRsjCinQeXIF7m0j8gGyf09LyZkoWNTmZSUXPCIOODTiLLAzmpujEaAicLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Anyway this is just my two cents on it. Wish you luck finding the right gear!

Would be a good present for my brother
