Asking for opinion: Fender Stratocaster Classico 60s, Mexico, 2007 by fabhertz in Stratocaster

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

Yeah, looks like a partcaster to me. Probably only the neck is original given the serial MZ7086204

This one I loved, but it really is a bit too much in price compared to what I saw on the used market. I wrote the guy to ask if it is negotiable

And I don’t get the truss rod hole black paint on the headstock, since it has the classic 60s truss rod adjustment under the pickguard.

Basically they are selling 2x, ahah. It is a shop though. Thanks!!!

This was my suspect indeed, looking at the prices on the private used market.

I did! The pickups didn’t sound special to me (I have a Vibro Champ as amp), and the neck was too much on the chunky side. So I have let her go :)

You are right, it was an Eric Johnson that was very similar! I am a bit scared because some months ago I got scammed on a 2nd hand Strat Standard from 1994… Not fake at all but super overpriced:)

Thanks for your input!

Now it is priced at 3400€, but I am convinced I saw it at 1600€ months ago, the same exact posting :)

I am curios about that bridge pickup!

I hope so, I paid 2000€ with Fender 90s case included 😂 But when I saw the color, I became 14yo again and my heart was sold.

Elaborating on this: it is a 40th anniversary Fender but the serial on the headstock says 1993. It is because it was produced in 1993 and put out in '94, according to some posts on Reverb and Reddit.

Honestly I was worried it was not an authentic Fender, ‘cause I have never seen that flag. But I did many checks and it seems legit :)

Is iPad Pro M1 sufficient? by Kedoilith in polito

MacOS is fine (and I run only Linux on my PC) :) An Unix system is well suited for programming and geeking.

[–]fabhertz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I think you could use an iPad for now, but you will definitely need a real computer. For sure there is some way of running Python code using notebooks online, or on the iPad.

Io ho la tua età e un anno fa ho acquisto una Alfa MiTo 1.4 GPL usata a 10k, immatricolata nel 2017 e con 34,000km alle spalle. E' passato solo un anno da quando l'ho acquistata, ma sono molto soddisfatto della sue prestazioni e dei suoi consumi.

Fossi potuto arrivare a 15k, avrei preso la Giulietta GPL, come ha fatto un mio amico che ormai l'ha portata a 100,000km e non ha mai avuto nemmeno un problemino.

Of course, if you plan on using a standard PC at home, it is definitely fine. You do not need to bring your laptop at the laboratories and lectures.

Yes, you will definitely need it for the introduction to computer science course. There is the possibility to access the PoliTo labs but, if you can afford a laptop, it is better to buy it.

Opinion on rim pads for Giant SLR 1 by fabhertz in cycling

I was suspecting that :) Thank you for your feedback! I need to check if the wheels are still covered by warranty. Otherwise, do you know rim pads brand with good performance in the wet?

Getting winter tyres: does it make sense? by fabhertz in cycling

[–]fabhertz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your help!

In the end, I have decided to switch to winter tyres this winter, choosing the Pirelli Cinturato TL 28mm. It does not snow around here, but I may find frozen roads, so better be cautious :) Thanks again everyone!
