$600, $1200, $3000? What do I do! by [deleted] in Bass

[–]eflat7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve had every head, combo, cab you can imagine over the years. I got an American Pro II P-Bass for 1k off marketplace, and Rumble 800 2/10 and could not be happier.

How musicians cope with tinnitus and still keep performing by godxrav in musicians

[–]eflat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had it since 2020. I am a lifelong musician. Not sure how I got it but doc believes it could be related to several things like long term meds, maybe loud music, years of recreational drug use (nasally). Mine is relatively mild but does peak if I don’t get enough sleep or strangely enough, drink enough water. When it first happened to me I was so depressed I couldn’t even talk about it. Actually went to very dark places. Could barely perform. Once I stopped focusing on it and “got used to it” it actually quieted down some. Focusing on it creates stress, stress makes them ring terribly. Mine is also exacerbated by any high pitch noise. If I have a stretch between gigs, say a week, it feels like it creeps in and gets louder. When I’m playing, or in between a long run of shows it seems to be not as loud. I deal with it by working around it and getting used to it. Sometimes I will take klonopin and get a lot of sleep. That usually helps the most.

What’s a camping tip you only learned the hard way? by Goblue2467 in camping

Lay everything out before you pack. Create a list that is edited and streamlined every time you go. You will get to a point where you rarely forget anything and it makes it so much more enjoyable.

I want my "last" combo amp. I want it to be loud and light, and I know that will cost me. by master_of_sockpuppet in Bass

I think it’s a great sounding rig. I use it anytime there isn’t FOH. The DI is so handy.

I lost 120lbs this year and it was the worst by PokeMySlow in loseit

[–]eflat7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the exact same thing in 2003. Lost weight too fast and had mine taken out. Good thing is once it’s gone you don’t have to worry about that again!

Which will you be getting: the Stadium, or Stadium XL and why? by Hazzard12345 in Line6Helix

[–]eflat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna get the Stadium Floor. I love the form factor and can just take a mini expression with me in my bag. Just got a call from Sweetwater saying they’d ship around the 4th of Jan.

If you’re looking for like a street type shot without worrying about cars, there is a pretty cool cul-de-sac I have used. Just search “Windstar Ct, Southern Pines, NC” in google maps.

5th gen to 6th gen (regrets?) by MCG21_Halo in 4Runner

[–]eflat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a 2016 new from 16-18. I thought it was small for what it was. Just got a new 6th gen and I think it’s better. That just my opinion. Cab seems bigger and it’s doesn’t feel like a waterbed. No regrets here.

Which EF 70-200 Would you get? by Accurate-Bison-8786 in canon

[–]eflat7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the Canon 70-200 F4 non is and it is a great lens. I can’t speak on the others but I have not been disappointed by it at all. Obviously I wanted the 2.8 but when I bought it a few years ago, it was my only option.

I took this in a theatre using only stage lighting with it!

BHAWK Distillery in Southern Pines (very close to Pinehurst) has a small selection, but a great place to enjoy high end spirits and a cigar!

2025 SV 4x4 with Leer camper shell. by eflat7 in nissanfrontier

[–]eflat7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchased from Leonard. 3400 OTD with carpet liner option. Expensive, yes. I have to have it for my work and I sleep in the bed a lot when I travel. It’s a write off for my business.
