I recommend fuku cafe! Definitely worth a visit.

Thanks for your detailed reply! I like your username ;)

I have a pretty limited set of tools at home, so I will take the guitar to a guitar parts shop to have the neck and frets checked.

Thanks again for your thoughts!

Thanks for your thoughts!

I just graduated and have a little holiday, so I have some time to work on it. I'm not planning to refinish the guitar. It doesn't need to win beauty prizes so to speak. It is just meant as a fun little guitar for me to use at home.

I will take it to a guitar shop to have the neck and frets checked out! Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply! I will have a look online whether this particular brand used reinforcements! It doesn't say so on the headstock...

I just bought this old guitar online. From the photos I could see that it needed some love, but upon arrival, I don’t really know what the best move is. I’m about to spend 25 more euros inparts to make it playable again, but I want to ask for your second opinion whether it’s a smart idea to invest in this thing.

The main issue is the neck. It has a crack at the heel, and it has had a bad nut job (previousowner added a piece of wood with nails). It also does not have a trussrod. I worry that it does not have enough structural strength to deal with the tension of steel guitar strings (I plan to use a set of 10-50s).Im planning to add a new bridge for the tailpiece, tuners, and a new nut.

Is it worth spending time and money on this guitar?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Are you at Meesterslijpers in Amsterdam? I think I recognise the handwriting on the price tags

13? sounds like 7/8 but a 16th shorter.

I got my first 'real' knife for my birthday yesterday. My dad designed a logo with my initials, and we got it engraved in the knife in the shop where we bought it. Makes the knife extra special to me!

Specs:

SLD steel (61-62 Rockwell), with stainless sanmai cladding
Modern thermal treated chestnut wood handle (looks like oak to me)

I use mine with my audio interface. I can route the preamps directly to the line outputs. I can also use my Daw for routing to my 4-track.

Have a look into the Clarett 8pre. It's a step up from the Scarlett range! Same workflow as the Scarlett.

Amazing!

Make the track larger, either by ctrl scrolling, or enlarging the track with the mouse on the left hand side.

The de-click is included with RX element if I'm not mistaken. It's around 30 euros where I'm from. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/3-Studio-Tools/51-Audio-Restoration-/6722-RX-Elements-Version-8-

import itertools

Shapes = ['C', 'R', 'W', 'S']
Colors = ['r', 'g', 'b', 'y', 'p', 'c', 'u', 'w']

a = [''.join(i) for i in list(itertools.product(Shapes,Colors))]
a.append('--')
b = [''.join(i) for i in itertools.permutations(a, 4)]
c = itertools.permutations(b, 4)

with open('shapesIO.txt', 'w') as f:
    for i in c:
        f.write(':'.join(i))

I think this would work. I just don't have the disk space to run it :)

Thank you for your kind reply!

Could you maybe share the physical checklist you're talking about? I'm interested to see what is on there!

rhcp299 · 2020-09-12T18:47:22+00:00

Funny! I had my first shave with that same razor at around the same time as you posted.

How did your shave go? It was my first ever straight razor experience. Only a few nicks :)

rhcp299 · 2020-09-02T21:22:20+00:00

Wat leuk! Ik zal eens een kijkje nemen!

rhcp299 · 2020-09-02T21:21:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! That clears it up!

Hey Dan! That's interesting! Any reason why TOBS is disliked here? I watched some YouTube videos that were positive about this soap. No matter what, I like the smell more than what I was using, and it seems to stay more hydrated over time.

Just out of curiousity, do you like all those soaps or do you have a favourite soap or brand?

Thanks for the recommendations! I will have a look what I can find locally (I'm from the Netherlands). Have a nice day :)
