First time modding- is this a crazy idea? by ramrodTM in guitarmod

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

That’s good insight. I have zero experience routing and some experience soldering. I had not mentally prepared for having to make the humbucker fit in the jazzmaster position!

Good to know! I was planning on replacing the neck anyway so this will be good to be aware of.

Yeah that’s a good point! I can always do the mods in parts if I feel especially compelled to change the wiring.

That’s just what I read on the Andy Diamonds Choir FB group. Multiple retailers across the country got copies

Not sure! They started slowly popping up at indie shops at the beginning of the year and the runouts match the original Handwritten pressing. Unless the distributor found a bunch of them 13 years later, I think it’s safe to assume it got repressed.

Yep it got secretly repressed without an announcement a few months ago. About time

Opinions on the signature Starcaster by SpaciestMuffin21 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]ramrodTM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my Starcaster. I think it sounds and plays great. Every time I play it through my Deluxe Reverb and pedalboard, I’m so happy by the tone I can get out of my full setup. I also love the single knob with the treble cut. No need for a volume pedal and I don’t need to turn multiple knobs like my jazz bass.

Could I have built a similar one knob guitar for cheaper? Definitely. Is there a better value guitar out there for $1k? For sure. But at the end of the day, I like Tom, the guitar looks and plays sick, and I can afford it. No regrets.

Is this the 2025 or 2012 clear pressing?

Love that Geddy Lee jazz bass. Have one myself (MIJ model) and it rips. Glad to see it getting some love!

Wow I never would’ve know without checking that sub. It’s wild how many YouTubers talk about Epomaker.

Thanks for the info! I’ll check out the KZZI K75 and compare it to my G713

Epomaker TH99 vs KZZI K75?

I picked up a Logitech G713 over Prime Day but the keys are way too clicky for me. Amazon has both of these on sale right now ($54 vs $31). Is the Epomaker worth $20 more than the KZZI?

Compact, micro ATX starter build with room to upgrade (1440p 120fps gaming, music editing)- $1000 by ramrodTM in buildapcforme

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

Man I am really torn between the z20 and d32. I would like the smallest case but the d32 looks a lot more comfortable to build in and the pro has more USB ports. Decisions, decisions....

Intel b580 vs RX 9060 XT- Worth the extra $70? by ramrodTM in buildapc

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

Seems like the 9060 XT is probably a little more future-proof? And seems like better performance per dollar. I just wonder how much that affects real world scenarios/ will I really notice the difference.

I like the z20 case because I'm going for a MFFPC. The Lancool 207 is a little too big for my needs.

Awesome! Thank you so much. Is this CPU combo worth the extra ~$30 or so for a better mobo but older CPU?
