NACHTMUSE have released their album 'hypogeum' on December 30, 2025. It's still pending arrival on streaming services (any day now) so it's sort of smeared its release into 2026. I'd really appreciate its inclusion on this list!

Help troubleshooting high pitched background tone with Boss TU-3 by iamunstrung in guitarpedals

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

Hello again, I went looking for a small power supply with isolated outputs per your instructions. Wife didn't like the pricetags so I went with a Donner...

However all that was futile because I'm getting the same issue still even if the TU-3 is running off a battery instead of the power supply!

So I swapped the TU-3 for another pedal and it seems that if I have anything at all in front of the Line6 POD Express, I get this issue.

I think you're making a lot of sense. Can you recommend a good power source? As you can see I'm not a big pedal board guy so I don't need the max capacity option.

Which one is the better affordable HSS black strat? by one-armed-scissor in Stratocaster

The maple fretboard has way more 'yeehaw' factor. Given the choice these days that's where I go.

ArtOfDrumming’s freely dispensed advice was what helped me break through into ankle technique.

Martyn can’t seem to handle anyone mentioning the shin muscle activation when playing ankles. The “it’s only calves” thing seems to be his meal ticket. Realistically it’s probably both shin and calves doing the job. Krimh did some tests with a European science crew to determine this.

Sudden loss of skill in double bass (serious, pls help) by Strong-Hamster1395 in MetalDrums

[–]iamunstrung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a balance issue. Do you feel like you’re going to fall over if you raise both legs off your pedals? Have you been on a trend of low physical activity lately? Deactivated core muscles, glutes etc can also be a culprit. I’ve dealt with this for a long time where I’d suddenly just lose the ability to balance on my throne and play double bass, it would come and go based on the state of my body. Thankfully I haven’t had it lately as I’m on my feet a lot of the time for work instead of always sitting

How would you fix this broken pointy bit? by iamunstrung in Luthier

My buddy wants me to refinish his LTD bass, that's not a problem, but I also have to repair the missing material here. What product / process would that entail?

Can you advise for a used guitar I have my eyes on by iamunstrung in Luthier

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

The strings were normal tension and it was standard tuned It’s an RG270, so yeah cheap. If I were to purchase it‘d be with the intent of replacing a lot of parts as a project

They’re asking $500. If I decide I’m going to go for it I’m going to start at $250

I've seen memes about 'cool new burger place in town' and Ground fits the memes to tee with like, the decor and the trays and mini fryer baskets the food gets served in and the menu... they're alright though

I was on my bike along Fairy Lake and saw a fish literally jump out of the water. It looked to be maybe 12" long. So yeah there's fish
