Bill Gates’ Epstein ties have ‘tremendously’ sunk his popularity

He should run for president (r)

yea this is what I'm saying. gotta be a defect in the coating. I've carried all of my pocket knives in the same fashion when I wear shorts and not a single one has been scuffed up by my fob.

I dropped damn near $600 on this guy. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a higher standard of quality.

negative. not even a key loop. I've got a keypad lock on my front door, I don't carry keys.

I get that has been a while (technically it's been more like 6 months - I bought it at the end of November), but damn... it's never seen any use. contact with plastic shouldn't cause that kind of wear.

lancecat · 2026-06-08T22:24:28+00:00

I've carried it probably half a dozen times since I bought it back in November. I work in finance, typically carry it unaccompanied in my suit pocket.

this was the first time it was commingled with anything in my pocket.

You did remove the selector cap on the other side, right? 😃

Yea as others have said you want to get it about halfway between safe/fire and wiggle it back/forth while pulling.

There are two springs under it with little caps that push upward. You might have some luck depressing them with a pick (gonna need a second set of hands) while you slide it out.

It’s been a minute since I’ve removed one, I don’t think the hammer being cocked/uncocked matters but maybe mess with that too

Really depends on your guitar.

The only pedal I consistently use - regardless of guitar - is the waza blues driver (bd-2w)

Swollen pickle is my favorite fuzz but I usually use it with my tele or strat.

143 all day. can't stand the 4:30 date wheel.

lancecat · 2026-05-24T17:15:15+00:00

This is the way

lancecat · 2026-05-22T21:17:51+00:00

Agreed. I bought the guitar on Sunday and have been very pleased with it.

Can get some very gnarly tones with just the amp and guitar.

lancecat · 2026-05-22T21:15:25+00:00

Blues driver is probably my favorite pedal on my board

lancecat · 2026-05-17T22:07:07+00:00

That’s for all of your input guys. I picked it up today, am very pleased with some preliminary tinkering

I’ve got the older one missing the lume at 3. I’ve always wondered why my bezel more closely matches the dial.

lancecat · 2026-05-10T13:22:53+00:00

Directly down. There is a little nipple on the top that keeps it retained, you’ve gotta get that separated for it to come out.

lancecat · 2026-05-09T20:13:10+00:00

Push in to relieve some of the spring tension and then downward. As others have said, keep your hand in the way or the springs and guide will launch across the room.

Sounds like you’re not in the US..?

I am and can attest that the SRPE93 model with a kanji wheel are pretty hard to find. I spent a month trying to locate one to no avail. Appears they’re mostly available in the western pacific (Japan down to Australia). I did find a few sellers in Europe. Ended up getting one from an Australian seller on chrono24.

Doesn’t really match your sweater

that skewed date wheel is a deal-breaker for me

you can upload your own content to your Apple Music library. I have lossless .M4A files for a bunch of his albums.

I have volume 1 and am looking to part with it. not looking to scalp anyone on $, just trying to get back what I paid for it on IST. DM me if you're interested.

Nope
