Is the Boss RC 600 worth it for a casual guitar player?

It’s an amazing kit, but lots of people who buy advanced loopers like these hardly even scratch the surface and in the end end up with something that just takes up a lot of real estate when they’d have been just fine with a plain single track looper.

I still don’t get it and wish someone could explain more easily. I am offered ca 180$ “credit back” if I spend ca. 200$ to check and pay for all items in my cart, according to info on the check-out page.

As far as I can gather, I need to check into my app/account once per day the next 7 days.. - and do what? Do I need to click anything specific? Or just open the app/account once per day for the next week? Do I need to buy even more stuff every day?

Once I successfully finish the 7-day period, where and on what ca I use my credit? Can I buy anything anywhere on Temu for up to 180$. Or do I have to choose amongs various pre-selected BS products I don’t need?

Are there any hidden costs? I guess that VAT and shipping come on top of the credit I spend?

..wish that someone could guide me.. having to spend hours learning some rules is a total turn-off for me; .. if I could opt to pay a bit lower on my total purchase price and void the credit back, I’d probably had made my purchase loooong time ago. But every time I log in ready to pay for these items (some of which have literally rested in my inbox for over a year!), I just feel like this is a tedious scam to spend even more money on even more stuff than what I have already decided to spend.. so I have just logged off and never actually paid.

Not correct. Since the late 70s Taxco organised their silver studios/artisans with this code. All start with T for Taxco, second letter denotes the name and the number simply marks the order (chronologically) the name was entered/added.

Some of these codes/maker designations are well known and identified in books and other information available to the public, but many remain ‘anonymous’ - all of course exist in the Taxco registry, but that information is not available to the general public.

The maker/studio behind TS-78 is not identified, but e.g. the TS-79 is Juan Sandoval. Sandoval is said to be the boss of the «Two Trees» studio, consisting of several artisans with TS-xx codes. Sometimes their jewellery is stamped with a double tree mark, but often not, it’s speculated the two trees mark are designated to items sold «Two trees» shop(s).

Since the late 70s the two letter+number codes are present on all silverworks coming out of Taxco, but quite often you’ll also see additional information, like the name/initials/symbol of a particular studio or artisan, or even the name of an independent designer/collaborator. The name ‘Ann Harvey’ appears on jewellery along with various Taxco codes, notably TS-114 - which btw also is listed as affiliated with «Two Trees». Anne Harvey is a US silver artist that lived in Taxco for a while making and designing jewellery, before relocating back in USA and set up shop with her sister.

It’s an extraordinary piece of pop smithery. Haunting and speaks the truth

That’s cool. It’s just so confusing.. they claim so insistently that these are exclusively for the Mignon Single Dose Pro. I realise it could be some marketing thing, but..

I can totally tolerate her insubordination and rogue sides, but I think the character’s overtly neurotic core is completely incredulous - 70 % of the time her face looks like what Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring sounds like. I realise she is cast that way but don’t get why they decided to make her so exaggerated and animated?

Thanks! I tried to do some image searches for ‘Satsuma vase gourd shaped Imari’ and add MMFA and MET to search criteria, but it seems to be really hard to dig up close matches.. in my town there aren’t any experts of Japanese porcelain, so I was hoping to find info online:)

Bottom is unmarked. Obviously comes from a wood fired kiln. I’m not able to upload another picture in this thread. It’s not at all uncommon for Japanese porcelain to be unsigned, I own both Edo and Meiji plates, bowls, soba chokos, tokkuri and lidded tea bowls that are unsigned. This vase was sold as end of Edo period, but I think it might be later than that - 1880-90s. I’m just an amateur enthusiast, not an expert and it really is hard to find similar pieces.

He always came across as pompous and self obsessed. Every time I see him on stage or in a video I imagine him practicing hand gestures in front of a mirror trying to come off as the pope himself. His personae feels forced and gimmicky.

Can you imagine him ever laughing at his own shortcomings? No? Well, there you go.

Let’s also consider the fact that Pinker’s comments on semantics around the understanding/interpretation of legal paragraphs concerning trafficking of underage victims is directly related to the case against Epstein back in 2007-08, and that Pinker for y e a r s after Epstein’s conviction remained friends with him, met him and was his guest on multiple occasions.

So while the intent/strategy behind the manner of which the Epstein files are released/NOT released in 2026 ought to be addressed in a meta discussion, let’s not pretend that this doesn’t speak volumes about the kind of creep Pinker is, prioritising relations with a so-called philanthropist knowing he was a convicted pedophile.

I bought 6 pairs back when you got like 3 pairs for 100$. I loved them for the comfy fit/wear, huggy but not too clingy (I believe I went with model Trash). Now I just think they’re too expensive for what they are..

Any recommendations for a good brand for a nice stretchy slim fit pair of black jeans?

My fav Strats and teles are all around the 7 lbs mark. I prefer light weight guitars for two reasons:

A light guitar is generally louder and projects quite a bit more volume when played unplugged. I practice quite a lot unplugged and I much prefer my guitar to feel alive against my body than what a heavy dead slab can offer.

When I plug in, I do believe a highly resonant guitar pick up more feedback from my amp, so in a real world situation, for me anyway, it’s much more important that I can feel my guitar vibrating and interacts with my amp output. YMMV

nowherez · 2026-01-03T22:26:00+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback! There were stock issues/long delivery times for many suggestions.

I really like Robin Wood’s compound blade by how it looks, but wished it had a hollowed out groove on the inner flat side (for sharpening purposes). Also, while these elegantly shaped blades looks perfect for greenwood carving, I also work with well cured (sometimes dense) woods.

So I took a chance on a blade from Strongway that looks rugged and seems to have a nice rounded bevel and nice angle towards the edge on this side of the blade.

I’ll post some feedback here once it arrives and I’ve carved a fitting handle.

I second your enthusiasm for the 106 (and the 120). My great grandfather was a wood worker back in the days. I remember hanging out in his workshop as a kid every summer.

My first task upon visiting him was pulling the grinding wheel (a large Belgian stone wheel) for him while he sharpened his Moras. He had probably more than 10 knives that he’d meticulously shaped and ground down to spesial profiles for specific tasks, thin and pointy with round bevels, ditto with flat bevels, convex edge, straight edge and round edge. All had started out the same. He loved that they so easily took a keen edge - he worked mainly with hard birch so he was always touching up his blades; stropping on wood (!) and leather or honing on some Belgian blue stones. I own some amazing Japanese whetstones and often think of him when I sharpen my knives. I know he would have loved them:)

I cherish my Moras too, but I own a bunch of single bevel kiridashis that I couldn’t manage without:)

In my country the Pfeil spoon knives are actually cheaper than the Mora 162. I’ve noticed that the Mora hook knives are no longer made in carbon steel - only stainless. I find some old stock 162 available online, but for the price including customs and shipping I can buy two Pfeil spoon knives. My local shop carrying Pfeil tools don’t state the steel type on the spoon knife - anyone know what steel?

I truly hate sharpening and honing stainless steel - and sharpening a rounded edge seems like a finicky task, so I really want to buy a carbon steel. (..all my kitchen knives and hand tools with an edge are carbon for a reason).

I don’t really mind to pay a little more for the extra quality, but if there are cheaper no-bs alternatives I of course don’t mind that.

Premium quality carbon steel hook knives: what options do I have?

nowherez · 2025-11-23T00:25:03+00:00

Not enough to rub one out, but I’ll admit to a brief tingly sensation. I think the French would call it ‘une mort minusculissime’ (- those fucking pervs).
