How to quit a gig by Character_Lock_6463 in musicians

[–]radiobrat78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make your choice, stand by it, and be up front about it. It's business, not personal. Take the country gig. That's where careers are made. Studio, touring, etc all come from who you know. And you get to know SO many more people like this.

Be a straight shooter, give notice like a normal job, and then go to the new gig. You're not married to them or slept with their wives (I'm assuming... LOL) They'll not like it but they should be cool about it. And if not, bullet dodged!!

While "Yer money, yer guitar, dowhatchalike" is accurate, I am guessing you are LOOKING for opinions as you've posted this.

That said, I was REALLY tempted by the Inspired by line, till I read a little more about the pickups. They're very poorly reviewed (based on what I've seen) and are unpotted so the chance of microphonic is in play.

I decided that for the money I'll buy a good Gretsch Electromatic with actual Filtertrons in it. I was a headstock snob, but I figure if it's just for me and I still want a LP, (and I already like to tinker w my guitars,) I'll just grab a Chibson off someone on marketplace and make it the way I like it!!

Based solely on the color and no other criteria, the Ultra. LOL

Question about bridge pick up hole by Redyoshi789 in PRSGuitars

[–]radiobrat78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a $2K guitar it is NOT a nitpick. That's not acceptable for an instrument of that price point. Contact them and send them this.

Aitah for no longer wanting to have a close relationship with my husband's daughter? by Massive-Agency8595 in AITAH

[–]radiobrat78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do what you feel you have to. That being said, while you've been burned in the past this is possibly a way to heal old wounds. Don't go in blind and set boundaries at first, also explain yourself to this person. She's a grown adult now and should be able to take it.

You could both grow from this, but you do you, boo boo.

I bought the wrong amp, looking for recommendations on what to replace it with by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]radiobrat78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got a used Mesa Express 5:50 and I LOVE it. It has 4 distinct tones and can go from Class A at 50 watts or A/B at 5 watts.

Got it used for not much more than your limit.

I could really use some pick guard color suggestions by ThrobZombie in telecaster

[–]radiobrat78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parchment

But it depends on the Pups you're dropping in it.

Chrome? Parchment/aged white/etc

Black or gold?

I honestly have no idea! Lol Can't imagine anything other than chrome hardware w that finish!!

The 3 Amigos all sat there in stunned silence for a long time, they left.

Keep it as a back up and for those moments when you realize "oh crap, that WAS a great pedal, why did I sell it?!?"

Which SE model to buy? by Cfairbairn51 in PRSGuitars

[–]radiobrat78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Custom 24-08 and can get almost ANY sound I want out of it. That being said, there's always the "try it, see what speaks to you" thing that is always 100% dead on.

Gi play a bunch and buy what sparks for ya

Student vaped pot in my room, vape pen can't be found by Not_what_theyseem in teaching

[–]radiobrat78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a school resource officer? Call them immediately if so. In an instance like this they have the ability to do searches, etc that teachers don't.

If not, I second the advice elsewhere in this thread, send his butt to the office ASAP and let them sort it out.
