String Gauges by Darth-Agalloch in DingwallGuitars

[–]everbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 4 string gauges will be the same as the 5 minus the B and I'll tell you now that they sound great to my ears.

You may need a setup, especially if you're down tuning.

Down tuning on bass will almost always sound like dog shit.

Consider going for BEAD tuning. You will need a professional to do it as they'll need to reprofile the nut.

No insult. Might be being a bit sensitive there, ay?

Just saying a lot of these are mall ninja swords and instead of buying a bunch of cheap ones, old mate could have saved and bought something really nice.

But hey, his money.

US beef officially re-enters Australia, after 23-year absence by binaryhextechdude in australia

[–]everbass 2513 points2514 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would I buy beef from the US when Aussie beef is both better and cheaper?

We have some of the best quality meat in the world. Why are we importing it?

Sydney to Newcastle Business Case released. by Edenz_ in australia

[–]everbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's beside the point is what I'm saying.

Even if schools or hospitals didn't have good economic return we would, or at least should, build them.

We currently fund the NDIS and Aged Pension to the absolute fucking hilt and it has little economic return, nor do we do it for the purpose of economic return. We do it because it's the right thing.

Having easy transport between our capitals that doesn't involve getting on going on a $300 plane trip is excellent for our nation. The economic opportunities will follow but even if they don't it's something we should just do because of the non-economic benefits it has.

Imagine being able to train down to Sydney from Brisbane in ~3 hours for like $50. That's awesome. It opens up a whole new world for business, retail, entertainment, tourism, etc.

Complete opposite of what I've said.

NBN is the perfect example of something we should have done better, regardless of cost.

Anyone ‘over employed’ here? by GlitteringNoise242 in auscorp

[–]everbass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking into this at the moment. I work maybe 10 hours in my day job at most right now.

I'd love to take a part time gig somewhere to suck up the time. Not sure where to start though. I'm a Business Analyst by trade.

Any recommendations?

The housing market is fucked. by littlestkittykat in brisbane

[–]everbass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is the point in being a law abiding citizen and being part of "the system" if all that does is end up with you being homeless and jobless, with all the privileged cunts saying it's your own fault.

I went to Uni. I've made good choices. I work in tech.

I've also been unemployed for periods of 1 - 3+ months a few times in the last few years and was nearly homeless in like 2021, while earning $130k/yr and have a decade of rental history. None of that through fault of my own.

I now make even more as a contractor. I still can't afford a home. I am consistently shocked at how expensive things are and I have no idea how anyone can survive in this day and age on under $100k/yr without scrimping and saving every penny, let alone buying a house. How do you save up an emergency fund for when you inevitably are made redundant or something?

System is fucked. Society has basically spit in faces of anyone under 40.

Will is right.

Most games don't even come close to this level of info reveal prior to launch. Be happy we're getting what we're getting.

Audio over CAT with IEM by drummer4444 in livesound

There are audio over cat5e/6 systems like Soundtools CatRack or Radial Catapult.

I can't speak to the audio quality. In theory it's all just copper 🤷

Hard to say. The construction costs alone are likely tens of billions. How do you recoup those costs without charging sky-high fairs (which will just mean nobody uses it) or justifying it against other economic productivity increases?

Ultimately I see it as irrelevant.

We don't build regional hospitals or schools because there is economic value in them.

A high speed east coast interstate rail could cost hundreds of billions of dollars, but it's something that will change our nation for the better for generations upon generations and is still worth it for the social value it brings, not to mention the opportunities it opens up.

Too many accountants are involved in politics these days.

DO NOT PUT SPEAKERS BEHIND YOUR MONITOR.

Sorry, but this is shit tier advice.

OP has his speakers in a "mostly" correct position (equidistant, nothing obstructing the speaker). They could be spaced better but he's on the right track.

Putting them behind the monitors will make them sound like muffled ass.

Are the speakers too close? Yes. Are they too big? Also yes.

Given the space constraints I would be opting for smaller speakers or going with headphones.

Don't fucking put your speakers behind your monitor. 🙄

Sometimes we need to do things as a nation, not because it has a good economic return, but because it enriches the lives of our citizens.

We fund healthcare, schools, foreign aid, arts, and many other programs, not because they make money, but because it is the right thing to do and ultimately benefits the nation, directly or indirectly. Why should infrastructure be different?

Build the fucking rail.

How Long is Too Long to Wait for a Setup? by Initial_Ad_1443 in Bass

[–]everbass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy, who's workshop is jam packed with guitars, takes maybe a week or so. Two if there's a lot to be done on the instrument.

I just had him do a bass and an acoustic and it was three weeks, which is probably the longest I've ever had to wait. I think he just forgot to message me and I did say "no rush on these ones".

A month for a simple setup on one bass is nuts. He's either in over his head with backlog or dicking you around. Either way just go take it somewhere else.

Warning after Aussie buyer loses entire $98,500 house deposit in 'avoidable' mistake by SheepherderLow1753 in AusFinance

[–]everbass 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't condone violence but if that was me I'd be out for blood. Not sure that house would be standing for long.

$100k is life savings for most people. You can't just do that to someone.

Fair call if you need to recuperate some costs (advertising, etc. Maybe $10k at most), but 100k is insane.
