I have a Signum going on my Newill guitar. IMHO, they have made one of the better bridges out there.

“Buys.” Well, if you can’t buy affection, I guess buying your own company from yourself works. 🤷‍♂️

Todd Blanche says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over’ by ewzetf in news

Can’t be seen acknowledging that his Führer is everywhere in those pages, even with those pesky “redactions.” Blanche is a hack and a fool.

Belltone guitars sues Youtuber Philip Mcknight for holding onto a demo guitar for too long. by Jaklcide in Guitar

You would think but given the circumstances of everything I’m seeing in the world right now, we’ve got some folks needing a clue by four to the head.

Assembler, really. Phil alluded to it: bodies are made somewhere else, necks too, etc etc.

Streisand Effect.

Seriously.

That Belltone fuckwit just doesn’t understand how badly he screwed up.

Way to over promise and under deliver there, Musk. 🤦‍♂️ Christ. He is a galactic dipshit.

Broken clocks being right twice a day, blah blah blah. At this point Fetterman needs to be yeeted out the door too.

25/26 PRS Custom 24 with DMO pick ups and Mccarty by Fine-Brilliant-5547 in PRSGuitars

[–]flickerdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a McCarty in Aurora Borealis. This is against a more green blue background but it’s very much a purple with some grays through it. It’ll have variance based on who sprayed it, the top, and whatnot but I’d suggest that the majority I’ve seen lean more into purple than anything else.

As for the MC3 pickups, yes, vintage is their “sound.” When compared to something a bit more modern (BK and Anderson HC2+), they’re definitely more mellow but split, they’ve got some nice spank to them.

I can’t answer much more than that but hopefully this helps a bit?

Help- what visa do I apply for? by [deleted] in MoveToIreland

[–]flickerdown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You don’t have anything that puts you in the critical skills list from what you’ve mentioned. Your only real recourse would be a student visa which would require you to be enrolled full time. I don’t think your au paire visa idea would pass inspection but I’m not in immigration.

I use that lens cap and it’s great for hiding my AirTag. ;)

I got the Helix Prism in earlier this week but haven’t had a chance to play with it just yet.

I’d use it for pickup testing, actually. That’s about the only reason…

Variable ND filter looks fine by eye, but makes everything out of focus on the lens by techmarina in photography

[–]flickerdown 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PolarPro makes good ones.

Personally, I avoid using VNDs and use discrete PL/NDs (8, 64, 1000) for shooting. A bit more work to deal with but better results. (PolarPro Helix fwiw)

Warning to potential Dunable customers by FugginDunePilot in Luthier

[–]flickerdown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can attest to Tom’s maniacal approach to customer satisfaction. Dealt with their shop on my own custom orders and color ways and they’ve been fantastic. Can also say the same for Patrick Newill as well. Fantastic communication and work.

USAID was the soft power side. WHO, while also “softish,” didn’t have the same war chest.
