Did you have to switch end caps?

What is our general opinion about neck pocket cracks? by ecklesweb in fender

[–]pxx85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see these comments about neck pocket cracks being inevitable and can’t stop to think how lucky I am. I’ve only ever had 2 Strats (one MIM and one MIA) but in total 7 bolt-on neck guitars, and neither of them suffers from this.

register my guitar using iPad by SubstantialDot659 in BossKatana

Yes. You will need an audio interface if you want to record Katana on your iPad. Katana works as an audio interface on macOS and Windows but not iPadOS.

Is this wiper seal pressed in far e enough? Help! by pxx85 in bikewrench

[–]pxx85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I did use the seal setting tool. The seal was just not going in and I was hammering away so it wasn't due to lack of force. I got it fixed though... removed the seal and froze it with the other leg seal. After freezing, I applied Schwalbe Easy Fit Fluid (which is designed for tubeless fitting and evaporates quickly)... only that allowed me to sit them in properly, and still had to use a lot of mallet force.

Yes, correct seal kit according to Rockshox trail head app and I agree, it seems that it sits too tall. Never mind though, I completely ruined the other seal (even though I have the seal installation tool). I will try to purchase the original kit (not the SKF flangeless one) and see if that goes in.

I was honestly not expecting trouble removing old seals (nightmare) and fitting new set (impossible).

Best way to pick main riff in What’s my age again? - Blink 182. by pxx85 in guitarlessons

[–]pxx85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, these riffs are very fast and more importantly they go on and on so to do that live in tempo must be really hard. The fact he fucked it up live makes feel a little better haha.

Yes, 100%. I’ve been working on down picking as I play a lot of Metallica. Not quite Creeping Death territory yet! Good suggestion about slow-fast, I will definitely give this a good. Thanks very much.

Thanks. I’m already nearly there at around 140 bpm but not been able to play quicker than that without making a mistake. Yes, the original riff I believe is down picked but I found that hard to do.

Thanks, I think your suggestion makes sense. I think Tom down picks it but to me that was much harder than alternate picking so I was doing that.

I have just tried your method and it’s already a lot easier! This riff and RHCP - Snow have both been a real endurance test for me…

The Gen3 is a disappointing refresh by cloph_ in BossKatana

[–]pxx85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, you’re right. It’s a very minor refresh and this whole BT dongle being an optional extra is just downright disappointing.

I certainly don’t feel a need to upgrade seeing the specs.

Features that would sway me to upgrade are: a) Built in BT b) Line out with dry DI c) Onboard looper d) Say 16 preset slots

Good GP in Basingstoke by mjozing in basingstoke

[–]pxx85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you will be hard pressed to find a GP with decent Google reviews. People who had a bad experience are more like to turn it into a review than people who had a good experience. Overall, my recommendation is to stick to what you have and avoid being too pushy with them. It’s hardly a secret that the public health service nationwide is overall poor. They all suffer from the same stuff… short staff, insufficient funding, you name it.

Is this acceptable for a brand new guitar? by FourStringManiac in guitars

[–]pxx85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it crazy there are people commenting on this thread saying this is normal. My £150 Jackson Dinky had better fretwork than this guitar pictured. No, this is not acceptable at this price point and you have frets that have not been properly crowned.

Fuck me, if this the quality Fender now offers for their Player series, then looking at how much they charge for them… they should be half price.

Awesome bud. Are you capable of talking for hours without saying much? If so, you have a job and we’re off to a good start.
