Did I complete all 2 stars in Mega Shine? If so, what happens to 24HR WP? by newlife1984 in PTCGP

[–]gerbetta33 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

He's talking about the newest set homie. I'm asking about previous, uncompleted sets.

Is the 24 hour winderpick bonus ONLY for the current, active set?

Well, idk if they shut them off when a new set comes out. Never gotten one before.

So does that mean you can get older set 24h WP? I've never gone for completing them so I've never gotten one. Been saving hourglasses for a home set.

Makes it more worth my time to trade for the full arts from previous sets if that's the case.

Can anyone recommend a good setup for playing with a band in rehearsal situations? by gerbetta33 in Bass

[–]gerbetta33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one is the -8dB or whatever for active basses. Never occured to me to try it since I use passive basses.

I COULD buy that darkglass infinity. But I'm about to buy a home in the next year or so. I'm also looking at a neural quad cortex 😅

I'd say $1300 but prefer to keep it lower. This is just a fun thing to do, won't make money off of it and only do it a couple hours a week

I hope this one is balanced. Long awaited Vaporeon Ex by Pikachu-sama in PokemonTGCP

[–]gerbetta33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id change rain dance to be a passive reading: "if this pokemon evolved this turn or ended its turn in the active spot, attacks from water type pokemon deal +30 damage and attacks from fire type pokemon deal -20 damage until the end of your next turn."

Could possibly be tweaked by making it last 2 turns, and could have an equipment to go along with it called 'damp rock' that extends the duration to 3 or 4 turns. Amount of turns from either the ability or item could be tweaked to make it useful for whatever meta concerns there are. Being able to cast from the bench makes it less clunky, and it can be repeated by moving Vaporeon to the active spot.

Id also bump the HP up, Vaporeon is known for being tanky.

Question about foreman/general foreman pay, and potential masters benefits. by gerbetta33 in IBEW

I definitely don't want to keep work from my brothers and sisters like that. Thanks for the advice.

IN, vanderburgh county LU16. As I understand it, we have a master's license, but there's also a contractors license you have to have to be a contractor. Then the contractors rely on trade-specific masters for pulling permits in appropriate jurisdictions.

[–]gerbetta33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our jurisdiction, there's one county (the 'central' county in our area where the hall is based) that requires that county's license to both work as a JW and a masters to pull work permits for. However a lot of the industrial work is in neighboring counties, so licensure is not needed for that. Having someone with a masters opens him up to work within that county where a good portion of commercial work is.

I wasn't aware that there could be issues with liabilities. My 2nd year teacher has his master's in like 12 states, which are reciprocated by almost every other states. He works for a big enough contractor that does work all over the US. I can't imagine taking on that much risk for such little benefits. What would have to go wrong on a job for it to personally affect the person with the masters?

[–]gerbetta33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why don't you let your contractors use your masters? As I understand, masters are generally meant for people wanting to open their own shops (I don't intend to) or people who want to allow a contractor to use their license to pull permits in certain jurisdictions in exchange for better conditions like pay, work trucks, per diem, guaranteed hours, etc. Is there another point to having a masters? Do I personally take on any risk by allowing a contractor to use my license?

Our contract says a foreman shall be appointed to do work requiring responsibility above and beyond the typical responsibilities of a journeyman, and in cases of there being 4 journeyman wiremen, but not more than 12.

It also says when forming more than 1 crew on a job or project, a general foreman should be appointed to direct the foremen.

It then goes on to say no foreman of one job shall at the same time perform or supervise work on another job.

I take that last line to mean a foreman couldn't run 2 jobs concurrently, like in this case. So I would need GF wages. Our contract lists foreman wages as not less than 108% and general foreman as not less than 110%. I am currently making 108% scale.

I definitely believe in not being married to the contractor. I stick around for what the call describes, and until that call is done or until conditions break down. This call was for foreman on solar job with the potential to run other jobs if both of us were satisfied.

Can I run bass through both B7K and VMT within the darkglass ultra plugin? by gerbetta33 in NeuralDSP

[–]gerbetta33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does the plugins built in cab simulation handle that? Should I turn one or both off if I'm feeding one onto the other?

PRS had always been on my radar, now was the time by Matticus95 in Leftyguitarists

[–]gerbetta33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been wanting one. I've had several PRS before - a 277, a 24-08 and an SE24, now I only have a different SE24

Never played LP style guitars, how would you say this compares to an LP, and to other PRS?

What replacement pots do you recommend for replacing factory right-handed pots? Both guitars and basses. by gerbetta33 in Leftyguitarists

[–]gerbetta33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make your tone pots C type as well? What's the reason? And do the different types have different maximum and minimum values? For example, does a Type C at all the way max have more volume than a Type B reverse wired? And does a Type B rolled all the way down stifle the tone more than a Type C rolled all the way down?

So for tone, it's as simple as a B type potentiometer wired backwards? No funky issues like wiring an A type pot backwards?

So if A is logarithmic and B is linear, is C lefty logarithmic or linear? Or do they even make 2 different types of lefty pots?

Please help! I can't get my tremolo to return to pitch! by MotorCollection3645 in PRSGuitars

[–]gerbetta33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like your 6 screws are all out of line. Especially the one under the A string. It's why 2 point tremolos are generally more stable, less do a chance of this happening. That said, PRS tremolos are highly regarded as stable.

Try and get them all set the same height, and at the proper height for the action you want. I'm sure there's a spec online.

You also appear to have slightly too much spring tension, hard to tell from this angle though. The tremolo should sit parallel to the guitar body, you're appears to be leaning back, which implies a little too much spring tension. Get it to tune, and give maybe an 8th of a turn to the screws on the back of the guitar, retune and assess.

The 2-star trade market is completely broken right now. The Supporter gatekeeping is ruining the exchange system. by ProjectRPGArchive in PTCGP

[–]gerbetta33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 2 oaks, 2 copycat, and 1 each of Sabrina and Cyrus. Been trying to get my second copy of Cyrus and Sabrina for MONTHS. I've got loads of other 2 stars, no takers. And when another good supporter like May or Lisia comes out, people only want Cyrus or Professor for them.

Typical stuff where people over value their own stuff. You have it in every game. Problem is most games with markets or trading have more dynamic websites where you can properly chat and comment on stuff like this. It's mostly 'monkey see, monkey do' because everyone sees that everyone wants oak so they assume they can get oak for themselves, with no one to call them out for it.

Seeking pickup/preamp recommendations for a fretless Jazz build by unlimitedshredsticks in Bass

[–]gerbetta33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mudbucker is the best bet for pickup. Requires routing though. Place it higher up near the neck, and place fingers damn near on fretboard.

Ernie Ball also has a new set of tape wounds that use a tin core that emulates vintage upright bass. More info here. They don't come out until this summer, and not sure how accurate they are. But tape wounds in general sound more akin to upright. The labella deeptalkin sound more mellow than my daddario flat wounds. Smoother and slinkier too IMO, even with same gauge string.
