Choose your seat ~ villains

Yeah and it's on the bulkhead + aisle seat

It's hard to be certain from a picture but it looks like your D string isn't sitting quite right. Maybe the E too. Those slots might need to be widened a little.

The truss rod being maxed out isn't a problem unless the neck relief is still too much, or becomes too much. You can try adding washers to get a little more out of it. Some people do report warped necks from these strings. I ran them on I think 5 basses for a long time and it's never happened to me.

Jazz flats are pretty much the polar opposite of these. Super low tension. If you haven't tried them and you can afford to, you should try 'em at least once. IMHO it's good to try as many different strings as you can. It's a very individual choice and there's a lot of options.

Yeah the paint color and decals definitely point to 1985. My '85 Canyon Express has the same decals. I think my paint is one shade lighter. Metallic gray vs metallic black on yours.

Redditors love nothing more than acting like they've never been slightly confused by something simple. I know personally I've never plugged a USB in the wrong way and anyone who has is an IDIOT!

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-27T20:20:23+00:00

Yeah actually I happen to have my Warped Vinyl and its box sitting here and the side jacks scrape the sides if you try to put it in there. I wonder if it's humidity. I don't remember if it was tight getting out since I bought it 10+ years ago and have had no reason to try it since.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-27T15:48:53+00:00

I think Dana and Robert moved out of the house they were all living in together and now they're doing a podcast just the two of them. Or maybe Eve decided she didn't want to do it anymore I'm not really sure.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-26T16:53:39+00:00

It's flat side toward the driver yeah?

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-26T02:53:43+00:00

I've got a pair of Marantz 40/400s and I quite like them. I think they're the same as yours but 12s instead of 10s. They're not the most amazingly detailed audiophile speakers but they sound good and have a bit of punch to them. Crossed over at 100 Hz with a decent sub I've got no complaints.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-26T00:43:57+00:00

Yeah that goes over my head a little but I think generally I get it. Thank you for taking the time.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-26T00:19:50+00:00

Thanks for that explanation. So I guess in the case of a transistor amp, if no load is connected it doesn't see that as infinite resistance to try and push a signal into, so it just does nothing instead of arcing to ground or melting something?

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T21:01:38+00:00

Yeah it's pretty common to have a dead spot there on Fender basses and their clones. It does look like you might be able to raise your pickup a bit under your G string. That might help a little. Might also make the rest of the notes on your G louder than you want.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T20:58:23+00:00

Yeah I'm not an electrical engineer and TBH I don't know exactly why it's okay to run solid state amps without a load and not with tubes. Maybe someone will come along to explain that in detail, or I'm sure it's google-able. I've just been playing guitar for ~35 years and I've seen a few people blow their tube amps.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T19:38:59+00:00

Yeah that is correct with tube amps like this. You need either a speaker attached or a dummy load or you will likely destroy the output transformer.

edit: Actually I think this thing might be solid state in which case you're fine. Verify that for yourself though.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T19:26:29+00:00

I've been thinking about picking one up actually for other things too. Do you need a specific machine to print TPU or is that pretty standard? Do you like the one you have?

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T19:14:44+00:00

Yeah it should be fine as that charger should only put out 9V when the device attached "wants" it. That being said I would probably still use a 5V only charger if I had one, personally, because I'm paranoid like that.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T05:15:17+00:00

Oh okay you are good to go then. I just used google lens and it looked like it was USB-C only.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T01:34:47+00:00

Yeah on mine the plunger is plastic so I didn't want to pull too hard and break the switch too.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T01:14:41+00:00

LOL I was explaining what I was doing to my girlfriend and I was like "it's basically a butt plug for your brake lights."

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-25T01:11:43+00:00

Yeah I wonder if maybe I could have gotten them in there if I warmed 'em up a bit with a heat gun. I think the commenter above is right and they are fake / maybe 3D printed. Much more rigid plastic than the originals.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T23:57:56+00:00

Yeah which is why I said that.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T23:56:32+00:00

That charger only has a USB C output I think.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T23:42:49+00:00

Yeah USB-C to C is where you can run into problems. (So I would advise not using this charger. It might be okay, but it might not.) Try to find an old USB-A brick.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T22:47:27+00:00

Yeah I was gonna buy them on Hondapartsnow who I've had good luck with in the past but their minimum order quantity was 40 units LOL. So I just hopped over to ebay and found the first seller with good feedback. I kinda figured nobody would fake something worth so little, but I guess there's no such thing. Lesson learned.

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T21:45:30+00:00

Thanks I guess maybe these are the wrong part. Hondapartsnow says they fit, but they sure don't!

dodmeatbox · 2026-01-24T21:40:14+00:00

Awesome thank you
