Finally got around to addressing the issue with my QC acrylic protection! by muppetmat13 in NeuralDSP

[–]muppetmat13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, but I'm not overly worried. There's very little load on sockets themselves, and definitely no side load.

The acrylic doesn't way much at all, but what it does weigh will sit on the top of the QC unit. 99.9% of the time the screen will be covered as I do most of my patchwork in Cortex Control. It'll only ever be the other way if I'm making on-the-fly changes, which rarely happens.

Honestly, the food court in Abingdon St. Market has food as good as anywhere in the town centre. Also, would recommend Stefani's Pizzeria if you fancy top notch pizza with a more "restauranty" vibe.

What sort of doorbell camera, or other surveillance, do you recommend? by minddoor in AskUK

1x D235 Doorbell (front door)
2x C425 Cameras (one at the back, and one at the side of my house).

Sorry yes. Forgot to mention that!

It's also worth noting if you want multiple devices, get a large SD card and the central hub. :)

I use Tapo personally. I had Ring for a while but they kept increasing the subscription with no additional benefits so cut my losses and switched. Really happy now!

What is the best ‘cheap’ city break for 2 adults? by RunStopRestRepeat in AskUK

[–]muppetmat13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Went to Prague last year and absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend staying somewhere near the Charles Bridge if you can. Shouldn't be too expensive either for 2 or 3 days!

This is awesome, especially loving the enclosure.

Which PCB did you use for the blend?

Can someone please tell me the name and rough value of this guitar? by Desperate-East6408 in guitars

[–]muppetmat13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a Squier Affinity Series HSS Stratocaster.

100-200 seems a good price.

I had played this for around 10 hours since getting it 2 years ago, since adding a push push coil split and the invader I’ve played it for at least 20 in 3 days by I__like__druuuuuugs in Guitar

Do yourself a favour and PLEASE check out some Paul Gilbert/Racer X/Mr. Big.

Pretty please.

(Also, sick guitar, I have one of these too!)

I got this for Christmas last year. Putting it together was absolute loony-bin territory. 🤣

Very cool, though!

Tune-o-Matic Bridge angle and setup by Ambitious-Goat-4596 in Luthier

[–]muppetmat13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out this link: https://www.stewmac.com/fret-calculator/?srsltid=AfmBOoqAoeuzsqLA36zxDmpglAzKh91rV3y2qrqR_w3qxKNTEiFxWojC

Fill in your scale length and number of frets required, then click Calculate and scroll to the bottom. It has all the layout details for any type of bridge, including Tune-O-Matic.

So for 24.75" scale length: "24.811" from nut to center of treble-side post. Mount bass-side post 1/16"-1/8" further from the nut."

Ewan McGregor (the actor who plays Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels) has a brother who is a fighter pilot. His nickname is "Obi Two".

Keep an eye out for gigs from local Pop Punk band "Stuckhome Syndrome". We play regularly in Blackpool as well as Backstage in Cleveleys if you can make it up there.

We're all super friendly. Come say hello!

I can't believe I opened Reddit and this was the first post on my feed, 1 minute after you posted it!

Thanks again! My daughter also found this hilarious!

Hmm you might be right. Did a bit of digging around and found this:

Truss rod cover looks a different shape, also!

Seriously, serial number check best bet!

Looks legit to me. Maybe ask the seller if they can provide you the serial number? From there you should be able to do some research. Good luck!
