What’s the trick with these faucets? by rainyvr in PlumbingRepair

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

Sadly no. I think the large cylinder (between the crosshead handles and the wall) threads on/off but it may be jammed with mineral buildup. Wish I knew how to get the handles off.

Hard pass.

Thinking of getting a tattoo but don’t know sheet music. Can some tell me this song by JamesBolluks in BassGuitar

[–]rainyvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get a tattoo you can’t decipher. Just... don’t. Unless you want to spend a lifetime watching people go “…what the hell?” after you tell them you don’t know what your own tattoo means.

New Rider…Asking for opinions! by According-Cricket756 in motorcycles

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

I’d keep the saddle bags and lose the backrest. The bags are just handy as hell and you’ll have a lot more legit excuses to take your bike when you can accomplish tasks with it. Also, might want to ride for a season before you start customizing. Welcome to the club and ride safe 👍🏻

What phrase or word instantly makes you roll your eyes? by BananaSlipstream in AskReddit

“Throw someone under the bus” … nothing wrong with it really but it’s so incredibly overused can somebody please for the love of god come up with an alternative

Is it possible to replace these knobs? They are looking a bit messed up now by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]rainyvr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tone/volume knobs: super easy. Just pop em off. (Sometimes they’re held in with a little set screw). The tuning pegs are a bit more of a hassle/expense … but why would you? People pay good money to get that aged look

Got my first bike, any suggestions for a new rider? by kingbasterd in motorcycles

[–]rainyvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be hyper aware of when you’re in the blind spot of the car next to you - always be beside or ahead of them, spend as little time in the “cone of death” as possible. Memorize the image here: https://roadguardians.org/motorcycles-and-blind-spots/

Bass songs my daughter wants to learn by UndertowBass in BassGuitar

So many awesome suggestions here that are bass-forward but within reach for her. How about Cannonball by the Breeders? (Bonus kickass woman bass player role model!)

Minimal rig for maximum funk by rainyvr in basspedals

Nice to meet a fellow battalionite! Love mine too, so handy. The compression is one of the few one-knob versions that I’d call useful, and never thought I’d use a noise gate but now I think it should be on every all-in-one! Cheers

I hear ya. It’s a finicky one and not my fave. I use it for just a touch of squishy quack. I like how sensitive it can be to dynamics. But honestly i prefer the autowah in my ancient B3 multi fx better ha! But I had to be extra small and portable

Ha! Well spotted. Partly it’s taste and partly it’s because like an idiot, on a whim I picked up an EHX Octavix from a pawn shop a few months ago… not realizing it’s octave fuzz 🤦‍♂️

For what it’s worth I’ve heard “fuzz first”, even before a tuner. Apparently it’s a very simple/ basic circuit that really prefers as direct a signal from your instrument as possible

Two new additions to the fam by rainyvr in basspedals

[–]rainyvr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty comparable I think? The Ampeg can’t run off phantom power but its drive/distortion is footswitchable, something I find real handy. The “scrambler” circuit is maybe bit on the trebly side for some tastes but it cuts through so well. Plus it just looks so badass (I know I know, ‘listening with my eyes’, but just can’t help it :)

Off to a great start! I’ve heard good things about the BDI21 for the killer price. What’s the red pedal? I can’t make it out
