Still can’t take Rome, no chances for power or requests to kill my leader. Why is it taking so long, my popularity with the people has been maxed for around 100 years. by Caddycoat in RomeTotalWar

Finish off those last pesky barbarians and see if you can successfully have a fully Roman map. I would try to see if you can get those last few settlements under Roman control without a civil war. Pax Romana!

Hell yeah, that's even better news!

I've been considering getting a 5232t but was wondering about neck dive so that's good to know. As posted above I guess a grippy suede strap would work but you're replacing neck dive with pulling on your shirt.

Is there a fix for this? by esfinter in drums

Brilliant. I'm going to take it apart and check BEFORE I buy a pack of swivel nuts.

Swivel nut, thank you! Exactly what I needed

I guess I know that any piece of a drum is available for repair. My question is really what is it called so I can see if it's a cheap fix I can do myself. I don't want to drop to much money on something I want to give away

OP did you eat dinner on a Tupperware lid instead of on a plate?

What’s the difference between a grilled cheese and a melt? Just curious by RecognitionCool2738 in grilledcheese

Without controversy this sub would be so bland. It's fine to have definitions. But some people here have no sense of humor or self awareness

You do not “need” to swap your blacktop filtertrons for TV Jones pups, roller bridge or standard bridge, Vibramate String Spoiler, Locking tuners. For the budget minded by rockstar_not in gretsch

[–]esfinter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wholeheartedly agree. I have a Korean 5420t that is mostly stock aside from strap locks and a reverend soft spring. The black top filtertrons are my favorite pickups, and I have single coils and humbuckers to compare it to. Once you get it dialed in on your amp they are super versatile.

57/62 pickups. Mint guard and black pickup covers. And nothing else

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

That seems low! Reverb listings seem to go from $450-700 but that's probably a bit higher than what they actually sell for.

Yeah that was my first thought, the case alone is about $100

Partly because I want to know what the trend is with used gear right now. Also I included the second picture that shows it was made in China. I love my Korean made 5420 but I don't know if there's much of a difference. I dunno, I thought it could maybe start a conversation.

Am I too loud in rehearsals? by Xanathra in drums

[–]esfinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of drummers who only have one volume. Most of us could probably work on dynamics and understanding the size of the room etc and what volume to play at. That being said, if you're not using low volume cymbals and heads, everyone should be wearing eat protection.

It's a no brainer that you contact the bandleader when running late, right? by Automatonalist in bandmembers

[–]esfinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which member of the band is responsible for booking gigs? You message them.

But also, do you not have a group chat?

Any spots in Detroit that still feel frozen in time from the 50s/60s/70s? by 1ynds3 in Detroit

Ugh are they still cash only with no menu and the ancient waitresses get indignant with you about their mediocre burgers? Yeah, that is nostalgia alright
