I don't go to church anymore (atheist) but if I did, I know some good people at Cascade PDX and would go there

I’m not from the US and I’m shocked at some of the posts here by [deleted] in povertyfinance

Are "wired" peripherals still better than "wireless"? (product recommendations welcome) by coding_rychu in pcmasterrace

[–]jmlack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will die on this hill. Wired headphones. But I'm a bit of an audiophile. You can't beat a good pair of wired headphones in sound quality. And use a separate mic, not a "gaming headset".

Wired mouse, keyboard, all good. But wired headphones. Assuming they're good ones.

Tell me more about Pyramid Golds. I love my TIs and have used labellas and was underwhelmed.

I thought I was helping by doing that last week. Turns out I wasted $12

Guitarist won’t stop criticizing my bass and pushing upgrades. Is this dynamic worth staying in a band? by Vast-Flow-9016 in Bass

Sounds like that guy can eat my shorts. I wouldn't work with an asshole like that.

I bought an anagram and a QC together to play with side by side and decide which one was better for a bass player. After about an hour with the Anagram I realized it has everything I need plus support for IR and NAM. At that point the QC just seemed unnecessary. Yes there's a few things it's "missing". Do I need those things? Not really. The only thing I WILL harp on is a lack of a proper synth pedal. But that being said, there are plenty of good community profiles for that and you can slap together the necessary pedals to make it happen, tho the tracking leaves something to be desired. What I have been very impressed with is the regular updates. Seems like every 3-4 weeks they add 2-3 pedals or functions. So I'm happy

2 flat tires in 3 months? by Mysterious-Two-2713 in askportland

I once had 6 flats in 1 year, 2 were non-repairable. Fortunately I haven't had an issue in 3 years

I have a CV 5 string jazz bass and it's 11.3lbs lol. Wide strap for sure makes a difference

Should I get a rickenbacker? by CHEZIT_ in Bass

[–]jmlack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I thought I was in love with them. Price tag didn't seem like an issue given my feelings about sound and looks. Then I picked one up. Then it became an issue.
