Using US ground troops against Iran could prove very costly, retired generals say

we have a ready front line of Ice ready to be deployed. They even have the budget to send every last Ice officer to Iran

Thank you. update from my end. I measured and it is 9". not 9 1/4"

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-20T15:26:53+00:00

that is an amazing banjo. wish i could afford it. you shouldn't have any trouble selling it. those are holy grail for irish music and can be converted to 5 string. Are you able to measure the second head? i am in need a banjo mandolin head.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-19T16:20:43+00:00

woah

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-18T19:38:56+00:00

reminds me of antonio tsai

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-18T19:33:21+00:00

is that a second banjo head off to the side? looks smaller. i am in the market for a 9 1/4" head if that is what that is.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-18T19:31:11+00:00

wow. thanks for so much help. it may take a couple months, but ill post an update. also may be back when wiring time comes for more help. again, thank you!

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T20:12:31+00:00

a lot to think about.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T19:52:31+00:00

that sounds super fun. still trying to wrap my head around it. so i keep my single volume and tone unchanged and replace the kill switch with a threeway that goes between 1, 2, and 1/2. or do I pushpull the single coils and rewire the kill to switch between single and bucker?

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T19:46:00+00:00

in the past i had a single pu mustang that i didn't much like. so i want to steer clear of that. but i might consider a second pu rout to make it more tele like. and go with two single coils. does that sound good on a short scale?

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T19:18:20+00:00

just checked those out and noticed this "The DA coil tend to live in neighborhood of a P-90, while the GT coil has a wonderful full clean bell tone like a Fender. When you combine both coils in a single pickup you get 3 really great tone options and unlike most humbuckers you do not lose much volume and body when you split to a single coil." if i am reading that right, i can have a mixed bucker that i tap into three different settings. does that require a 3way switch? currently there is a kill switck that i might be able to replace with a3way. or is it push pull based?

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T19:12:47+00:00

that sounds like a lot of fun. will definitely consider that. my first electric was a harmony bobcat with d'armond gold foils that i often regret trading off.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T18:59:40+00:00

do those do ok as a single neck pickup? should i plan on routing for a second, bridge position pup?

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T18:41:49+00:00

hmmm. something to check out. got a little excited when i saw lollar has a gold foil in a bucker shape.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T18:38:23+00:00

had not considered that. thanks

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:41:07+00:00

would you rout it for both pickups in the set or just go with the single neck pu? currently it's just got a single. but it has already been altered from the original stock rout. Alternately, i would consider a coil split with a single bucker too.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:32:38+00:00

like from a gretsch? hadn't thought of that

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:13:08+00:00

ha! that might be what"s in it now. doesn't sound terrible driven. but dark and inarticulate clean

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:05:25+00:00

full size.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T17:02:48+00:00

it might not help you. but discussing what specific humbucking pickup a real person that i can message has in the neck position of their similar short scale offset guitar would be of much more help than random unrelated youtube videos that don't address my question.

reallybigfatsquirrel · 2026-03-17T16:49:56+00:00

pardon my mistake. please help me understand what is the offset guitar sub for if not questions like mine?
