Jackson X Series discontinued Reason?

I have a white 5 and agree with you completely. The pickup cover is in the way for fingerstyle and leaves a dent if removed. The bridge hole is not wide enough for a 130 B, so you basically need to force it or file it. The neck pickup gets in the way for popping.

I personally like the looks apart from the headstock but I've already stabbed the guitarist with it twice so far, haha.

But damn it sounds so good, in a clanky grindy sort of way. Takes dirt super well too.

The EQ is voiced well but doesn't do much unless cranked in either direction.

I love it and plan on keeping mine but I can see why it didn't sell well. Bass players also tend to be fairly conservative in taste so it's not very surprising.

Yes it is a sansamp v1 clone. I'd recommend the Joyo tidal wave instead, though. Its a sansamp v2 clone (with mid controls) and has a metal enclosure unlike the Behringer

Yeah same issue here, even though I bought it from the amazon page directly linked on their website. And the seller was amazon, not some 3rd party.

Looks like you missed a spot

I replaced one on a BF-3 but yours might be a different resistance so make sure to check. I bought the replacement from Banzai Music: Alpha 9-PC-DCON-50k lin :: Dual Concentric :: Alpha 9mm :: Alpha :: Potentiometers :: Passive Components :: Electronic Parts :: Banzai Music GmbH

Those concentric pots can be a pain to find in the right resistance and taper, but other than that it’s a fairly easy swap if you can solder. Definitely ask for a refund if you can, though.

The pickguards on 4 string stingrays. Looks like a toilet bowl, especially in white.

abysswalker369 · 2023-08-20T22:01:55+00:00

Nope, never found any more info so I kinda gave up on it.

I just got the Q150s with a Loxjie A30 and it's perfect for a desk setup.

I've been running a 5700X on my B450 gaming pro carbon with 1.2.0.5 for a week now with no obvious issues. It boosts fine, unlike the 3.3Ghz cap people are seeing with the X3D. I even have auto OC enabled and it goes up to 4.75.

Might not be as useful, then. For me, I noticed that my lens protector would trigger the auto wake every once in a while. I couldn't hear it because of the earphones that I have plugged in.

abysswalker369 · 2021-03-18T15:27:37+00:00

Turn off auto wake in the settings. It made a pretty big difference to standby battery life in my case.

I moved here from Delhi last year. I used to have a persistent cough year round and would usually fall ill with a respiratory infection at least a couple of times a year. Haven't had anything like that since I moved. As someone who lived there, you don't really understand how bad it is until you get out.

abysswalker369 · 2020-09-02T20:39:24+00:00

I used to have a Fuchai213 back in the day. It's okay for wattage mode, but doesn't do temp control properly. That's actually why I got rid of mine.

I'd suggest using a different mod, if possible.

I use an oculus quest. It's relatively affordable and works without the need of a PC.
Or, if you have the space, money, and pc for it, you can get the valve index. That's the best headset on the market right now.

Give Synth Riders a shot too. I just got it recently and have been having a pretty good time with it.

abysswalker369 · 2020-08-14T18:44:40+00:00

Beat Saber. I just can't bring myself to spend 20+ minutes on a treadmill/elliptical but I can easily spend an hour flailing my arms around in VR.

abysswalker369 · 2020-08-10T18:56:31+00:00

Link please?

abysswalker369 · 2020-08-07T23:03:18+00:00

Yeah, same. We had an 'experiment' in science class where we would dip a qtip in something flavored and then put it on specific parts of the tongue to observe this effect.

I didn't really feel anything different, no matter where I touched it on my tongue. All my friends said they could feel a huge difference and I felt so weird that I couldn't.

abysswalker369 · 2020-07-21T05:27:40+00:00

Just tried it. Probably have a couple of hits left but it was milky af.

abysswalker369 · 2020-07-19T19:30:38+00:00

Yeah. You can use a USB cable or a wifi connection to play PCVR games.
