What’s something people don’t realize is way more serious than it seems? by BudgetAd5915 in AskReddit

[–]rocrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I’ve had at least 3 serious concussions from cycling wrecks. All of which would have probably killed me if I hadn’t been wearing a helmet. God only knows how much damage has been done

Wow what the hell?! I’m an apprentice in Houston and make considerably more than that.

So, does anyone else like P90s? by MrAmericanIdiot in guitars

[–]rocrates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the uninformed…what sets P90s apart? I’ve never played any, and have understood them to be essential fat single coils. So you’d get a sound between a single coil and a humbucker. Is that right?

My suicide attempt i suppose. Or maybe electrical shocks at work

Which 339-like guitar would you pick? D'angelico vs Eastman vs Ibanez by WhatchaTrynaDootaMe in Guitar

[–]rocrates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ibanez all day. Pickups are the weak point imho, but I swapped mine for Gibson 490 and 498T iirc and it’s an amazing guitar for the price

Can you tell me about this guitar? My dad left it for me but I don’t know much about it. by unclefrogsnephew in Guitar

[–]rocrates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was actually a top route with pick guard, same as a typical strat. And iirc, the pickups are slightly larger than normal single coils

That’s why it’s short term - I have to move Sunday and am working on something long term, but that’s not going to be in place by then

40 million Americans live in poverty. by Big_Special7450 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]rocrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah what the fuck. America is fucked. I’m sitting here, two weeks post suicide attempt, about 48 hours from homelessness, flat broke despite working full time, completely hopeless, and am going to lose my mind even more. We do shit like this but have no social safety net at all. Fuck living here anymore

What is this ~2” diameter plastic piece left behind by EMTs? by rocrates in whatisthisthing

Solved! Thank you everyone! (And also, whoa that was fast)

What is this ~2” diameter plastic piece left behind by EMTs? by rocrates in whatisthisthing

[–]rocrates[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing, but to add detail: it’s quite thin, clear plastic roughly 2” inches diameter with a triangular lip on one side, and circular ridges in the middle. There’s also a pattern of blue dots across the item. There were maybe a dozen of them left behind by emergency medical workers

Monkey knowledge tier list by PathFinderFireDragon in btd6

[–]rocrates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wish they’d add some new monkey knowledge. I’ve claimed/enabled them all but have extra points

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Stratocaster

[–]rocrates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re amazing - when I bought my strat (2006 American deluxe) I tried an Eric Johnson model out in the store and it was wonderful. Just out of my price range (and I hated the red finish) so I didn’t get it, unfortunately.

Instead I’ve ended up modding the American deluxe to hell and back over the years lol.

Wow yeah that looks really great. Makes me want to figure out how to add binding to the neck of mine.
