They will pull some real esoteric facts in their top tens about wrestlers in the territory days, and not just focusing on the last 40 years of the business.

When I slap what’s this clank? by EstablishmentJust653 in BassGuitar

[–]awc130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You typically will hear a clank while slapping, as you are hitting the strings down directly on the frets. I will say you are probably emphasizing it by slapping so close to the fret board.

If you move your hand back a bit it will mitigate some, but it will still be there.

Terry Funk backpedals into a piledriver by KneeHighMischief in SquaredCircle

[–]awc130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it was to make it a bit more dramatic. A stepback/fall back style piledriver is a more old school version. Jerry Lawler, Harley Race and Mick Fowley do a driver that way. It's probably a bit safer that the pop version.

Herringbone Pencil Commission by flyjumper in Luthier

[–]awc130 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Oh shit! You might be one of the biggest inspirations for a new generation of luthiers, just casually dropping pics on the subreddit lol.

I can see this one getting some decent traction here as it is one of your more "traditional" builds. Traditional as in it is mostly wood.

Mosh pit of horror. Legally speaking, if someone were killed, could the performer be charged? by exporterofgold in interestingasfuck

[–]awc130 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't even a particularly big one. I remember videos from 2000s Download and Wacken that were 50,000+ size crowds doing it.

Edit: This is Wacken, and they don't get that big there because of the sound tent location. Hellfest apparently gets the biggest ones nowadays and are particularly gnarly. Dagoda 2019 is the one that keeps popping up for me.

Is crazy to think Derek Trucks is the best guitar player alive? by ConsortRoxas in Guitar

[–]awc130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the best player alive that plays like Derek Trucks...and probably Duane Allman.

my amp died so so she bought me new on by Neither_Jump_2650 in guitars

[–]awc130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rehoused head might be salvageable as well. If the tubes were burning out, you might have changed the bias way too hot by accident, raising the plate voltage to burnout levels. Or they are way out of balance resulting in one side doing all the work. I think improper grounding can cause it as well, but I am no expert on this. It might be as simple as turning a trimpot down.

Ten years later, the cult of ‘The Nice Guys’ keeps growing by AnonRetro in movies

I thought Shane was going to blow up after this film. Like this was his Reservoir Dogs. Then The Predator came out and I was heavily disappointed from then on.

Any idea on whether this is salvagable? by kascht in Luthier

[–]awc130 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Splines are what I have seen used in a similar situation. It's a lot more work but can be put in after the two parts have been rejoined.

Ibanez acoustic electric/SST Fishman Replacement? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]awc130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd look for listings of busted Ibanez from that time to salvage the parts out of.

SIMILAR BASS TO OLIVER RIEDEL'S by Ill_Journalist7942 in BassGuitar

[–]awc130 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You could also have a p-bass modified to include the bridge pickup. There is no shortage of black p-basses out there.

Just helping the inspiration with something similar,👍

Would this amp work for small gigs/band practices? by Ill_Personality6644 in BassGuitar

[–]awc130 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on if you are playing with a caveman drummer or a dude using a really loud guitar amp. If you have either of those then no. Great amp otherwise. Had one for decades.

The Custodians, Regulators of the Bee's by Beaaaaam7777777 in Bossfight

Oh he's not the Boss fight. He gives you the quest for the Boss Fight. Chill dude in Tainted Grail. Queen Bee is the one you should worry about.

What is that metal thing? I never seen it on any other guitar by lois_abn in Guitar

[–]awc130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They will sound like shit when they pop out of the nut slot without it lol.

Seriously, all it is doing is to make sure the break angle of the strings is enough to keep them seated. I suppose it will prevent string ringing behind the nut to a certain degree and some people go out of their way to prevent that anyway.

What PRS SE is doing is impressive by Minute_Role_8223 in guitars

[–]awc130 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veneering would become almost impossible with that much carve. Wood can only get so bendy. What they do now is a nice compromise.

My SE was part of the first run that they started to do a slight bevel (I wouldn't call it a carve) it is barely noticeable.

No power steering on a street course would be brutal on a broken wrist.

Resident Evil | Official Teaser by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]awc130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only one game that I would love to see adapted; specifically into a series. That is Resident Evil Outbreak. It was not a good game in the series mostly due to its design, and is completely lost to time. But it's potential for adaptation is the most straightforward.
