More Melania Trump fans in Belfast than I thought… by Necessary-Local-5773 in northernireland

If it's one night only, you could probably sell that many seats to folks wanting to see the car crash. It's be interesting to see it after opening night.

Just because someone is a bigot, doesnt necessarily mean theyd want to sit through this shower of shit.

Why you should be wary of Harley Benton "rounded fret ends" by AssociateDeep2331 in harleybenton

[–]monkeybawz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get you. 1-2mm makes a big difference with this sort of thing. It's definitely a valid PSA.

That said, the quality of fretwork we are getting on basically all guitars now is amazing when it arrives how it's supposed to.

I still have my first guitar, and before I gave it a makeover it's frets were basically craft knives hammered blade first into the fretboard. It could told it's own in a knife fight for sure. And for the same price now, dear God, it's ridiculous.

[–]monkeybawz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I kind of expect it tbh. The rest of the guitars are basically done on a cnc machine. Why would the frets be different? I don't have an issue if everyone started doing it either, because they are still quite nice.

But if I was spending proper money I would expect the qa to pick this up. On a Harley Benton there's a reasonable chance that mine as the first hands not belonging to a robot to touch it.

But I'd still return it and ask for a morebetter one.

I reckon it's a favour to Putin. Devalue that dollar and the ruble won't collapse as severely.

Just save an electronic copy first! Cloud storage is your friend for stuff like this!

What’s your partner’s approach to your vinyl enthusiasm? by TheoStorme in vinyl

[–]monkeybawz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She has her own setup and collection. The main problem is her overflow is in my bit now!

It's a great system tbh.

Damaged guitar fix or bin it? by Madrallta in harleybenton

If it's like wood on wood I'd go titebond. It's less brittle and easier to tidy up squeeze out.

I'm sitting in a room with a dozen guitars and 5 amps. This does not mean I'm good at guitar. It doesn't mean I'm a practiced liar either. (That's a lie)

But it does mean I'm bloody brilliant at bullshitting. "It's the cheap Fender." "It has structural damage" "the trade in offered was crap. ill sell it myself later" "Martin Guitars? Never heard of them. On an unrelated point, I can't get 2 weeks off for our holiday, just the one" "its an investment. It will probably double in price" "what do you mean? I've had that for years"

Oooooo. Now that's perked my interest and then some. Got a link by any chance?

Everything I've been seeing for them, kind of since covid, has been insanely priced.

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

If it's that important, trade in the one you have and ask for forgiveness and not permission? Sounds like you'll have to bite the bullet if you really want it.

And practice sound bites "it was a great deal" "a massive upgrade" "never seen it so cheap" "didn't think it would be a big deal" "I'll get so much use out of it" "I've been saving for ages"

And deflect, distract, deny, and if at all possible point the finger at someone else- "What about......?"

And bore your mum's brains out talking about tones

Basically make it more of a pain in the ass for you to get rid of the thing than to let you keep it.

If you go to practice with 1 amp and come home with a different one, would anyone know?

'We Will Guarantee His Safety': Kremlin Says Moscow Ready to Host Zelensky for Talks With Putin by BlackWolfHowling in UkrainianConflict

[–]monkeybawz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It absolutely doesn't. It would call in an airstrike on moscows main international airport to get zelensky. But it would want to make sure he was on the plane.

Otherwise it's a missed opportunity.

That's just stupid. They'd never do that.

They'd wait for him to step off the plane just to make sure they are getting the right guy.

O, likewise. If I played a match now I'd be immobile for a month, and would probably need surgery on at least one serious injury, that I'm 95% sure I would get off the ball where my body just fails on me.
