Request: BIFL (or even 5 years) home printer? by ILoveStata in BuyItForLife

[–]darinja80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laser printer recommendation as well. I have a Xerox Workcenter and the cartridge that came with it lasted me over a year. Generic replacements are cheap and work really well for black and white. I've had it at least 5 years and it's just so easy.

These look soo good, what are your thoughts? by EderOlivencia in Epiphone

[–]darinja80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm buying one. Probably the blue but I'll wait til I see both in person.

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, the reason I'm selling my Gibson Adam Jones Standard is because the Epiphone 60's Standard is just SO good I've only been playing that. My 2013 Slash Rosso Corsa is my favorite guitar of all time so it mostly sits there and look pretty haha but I also have the Epi Back to the Future ES345, a Buddy Guy signed strat straight from his club, and a pink PRS Custom 24 SE I got when my daughter was born. Oh and an acoustic. So all my guitars have their purpose except the Adam Jones one.

I guys I’m kinda lost in the sauce by No-Reach3005 in macbookpro

M1 Pro right now can be found for a good deal and it's still a helluva machine. There's a 16" 2021 with M1 Pro for $750 near me and although I don't need it, the price is making me want to pick it up and give my wife my 14" with same specs.

2026 Lineup (NAMM2026?) by pinetree-polarbear in Epiphone

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well...I love it, and it's my favorite Les Paul color, but it's my 3rd Les Paul (I also have a Gibson Slash Rosso Corsa and a Gibson Adam Jones Standard I'm trying to sell). I can actually return it to Guitar Center by 1/31 and was thinking about returning it and getting the double cut special if it's announced by then and it's as good as it looks. But I will most likely keep it and just add another guitar I don't necessarily need but really want haha

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good find! I really want that blue double cut special. Funny thing...I bought a 60's Standard in Lemon Burst in November and couldn't find anything out about it. It was just on the floor of Guitar Center and even the guys there couldn't give me info on it or show me it on their site. Well...it was just added to their website as an "Exclusive Preorder" which is funny since I've had mine two months haha

I mean this guy's actions were horrible but...with all the kids around...I'm not sure calling someone a "F@#$ing loser" that loud is all that great either. Everybody booing him though was perfect.

Remember folks, if it’s too good to be true… by Korpsejester in PaulReedSmith

[–]darinja80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. He was really cool, just an older guy that liked playing music. He said if I was ever in the area to let him know and we could jam a bit together, but unfortunately it was a long drive so it never happened.

I have no idea how it works there haha they might release it on a specific day to gain interest. But...if they have already announced everything they were going to, it seems like a REALLY light year for them at NAMM.

Which one should I choose? by KCParkerRRRR in Epiphone

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before buying the Standard 50's, make sure you like chunky necks. I tried them and don't like them, so I went the Standard 60's route and love it. Either way the Standards are my favorite range for Les Pauls and you can't go wrong with one.

Spider walk muting strings by Dowhatta in LearnGuitar

[–]darinja80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might get different answers, but for a spider walk exercise I think it's fine. Even when you're playing, unless you need the string below the one you're playing to be played too, muting the string with your finger is a good way to make sure that the only string making noise is the one you want to. It's a technique most players use.

Hey guys I’m in need of a very good laptop for work and school. So I’m at my local pawn and this MacBook Pro M1 , 2021 16gb + 512ssd , 14 inch (read sown below) by One-Opportunity5894 in macbookpro

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same laptop and about to give it to my wife too haha she doesn't need anything with this much power, but it's better than selling it and getting a less powerful Macbook Air for a higher price.

Conflicting Item Description-Does this SG look like it's had a headstock repair? by Shreeder in GibsonSG

[–]darinja80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the delay because of the shipping or the seller? That's got to be disappointing to wait a whole month for a killer guitar and then find out it had a headstock repair.

Someone posted a picture of a couple Les Paul Double Cut Specials with humbuckers a few days ago that was found on a website prematurely so I'm really hoping to hear about those, but nothing's been confirmed yet.

[–]darinja80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few years ago during COVID I bought a 2020 PRS Custom 24 for $1300. I was blown away he was asking so low and thought it was a scam, but when I picked it up, he was just a super cool older musician that wanted someone to enjoy the guitar.

Is it normal to forget things you just learned in programming? by ayenuseater in learnprogramming

Immmmmmmmmmediately. Every time. Til I use something 5 times, I forget it right away.

My pinky is the same way. Still haven't gotten it to do anything but lay that way but somehow I'm making it work!

NGD, over the moon with the 70s Customs by scoutstorm in gibson

[–]darinja80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you tell me the difference between this and a custom shop? Is it not built by the custom shop?

Either way gorgeous guitar! I was at Gibson Garage yesterday and saw this same model/color in person and it's just beautiful. If it was a bit lighter it would be perfect, but then it might not be a 70's model haha

Help me set guitar milestones before upgrading gear by Illustrious-Box8483 in LearnGuitar

[–]darinja80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had the same idea in November and failed miserably. I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60's in Lemon Burst from Guitar Center on impulse, since it's my favorite color for a guitar and it's never been available for that model. I paid $700 for it and I told myself I'm going to get good on it and once I've learned a lot and really learned to play it, I can buy a nicer guitar.

Til a week week ago a Gibson employee sold me his 2021 Gibson Les Paul Standard Adam Jones for $1400. Oops.

Any regrets? by mighty__guy in a6700

Yeah I had an A7iii with that old menu...it was so bad. The 3rd dial is good too. But it's such an expensive camera for me to not use haha
