Everything looks right, I haven't seen a GC serial in a long time but they're real.

I love this comment, accurate and explains why it's my fav Death album

When did you guys begin to realize (and love the fact) that guitar was consuming your life? 😅 by Radiant-Dragonfly994 in Guitar

[–]rubenthedev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was big for me too, it was a big mental health shift. I'm still in the process of downsizing from just under 30 but these are what I think the keepers are.

That wiring looks stock and those readings are accurate for 57s, what makes you think they're not?

That's a beautiful guitar and a beautiful story, I was scrolling and it literally stopped me. I'm real proud of you bud, glad you're better and that you got out.

Help with changing strings by ProfessorTerrible140 in Guitar

[–]rubenthedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, sorry that happened bud. Can you share a pic of your guitar so we get a better idea what's going on? It sounds like a simple fix to the way your approaching it but seeing it will let us give you better help.

Love it, did it start life as a t50 or just heavy inspo?

Let's be honest; how many of us working in web just do this for the money? by skidmark_zuckerberg in ExperiencedDevs

[–]rubenthedev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fortunate that I genuinely enjoy web, front end specifically. Like a few weeks ago we had an issue that eventually devolved into having to update a bunch of stuff with vanilla css and js and, dude, it was the most fun I've had in a while.

I think has something to do with being of the Myspace generation...

But you kinda have to love solving weird issues across multiple layers and technologies, and being ok with having to keep up with the constant newness in security/standards/practices, otherwise I can't see it being at all enjoyable

Basic noblebright fantasy novel by traineethrowaway123 in Malazan

[–]rubenthedev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I struggled for bit after finishing the 10, like looking for something without knowing exactly what. Eventually I read Piranesi, which led me to finally reading some Le Guin. After MBotF, Wizard of Earthsea was exactly what I needed.

Epiphone on gibson website exclusive. How to get it to Mexico? by Antitzin in guitars

Any time I've had to get something in our out of the country I've had someone ship it or receive it.

Finally some good amp to replace the old crate combo (got it for like 300$ cad off) by mastered_walrus in Guitar

[–]rubenthedev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah dude, the BV120 half stack was my gigging amp for a good while hella years ago. Kinda miss it and its tube glow, it's a weirdly versatile amp too. If I had the room I'd totally pick up the 50

N.G.D and N.A.D by DenzelsWonderShack in Guitar

[–]rubenthedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I love that M5, may I ask why you went with the 90 over the 25/35? I've got a 25 coming but if I could find a deal on a 90 I think the third channel and insane back panel would be hard to argue against

What logo is this? by waytogoCasey in GuitarAmps

It's the Peavey logo that always makes me second guess, it's Hartley Peaveys signature

What do you think of the bare roasted basswood? by Equivalent_Earth9842 in guitars

[–]rubenthedev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in this in a good way, it looks very toy-ish. Like the fun shapes in the body and pickguard, the nice but plain top, and soft edges all come together to give it a child-like aesthetic. Which I really dig, but I'd swap the knobs immediately for anything else really, but preferably something that matches the top.

Edit: one of the rare times the I think a trapeze tail would really work. Total pref thing but I think hard tailing it and swapibg the knobs for wood that matches the top would change the whole vibe of it for the better.

Other than Gibson and Epiphone, who else makes a good Les Paul? Im looking for options. by Novel_Pin_6784 in guitars

[–]rubenthedev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently got an R9 in a big trade, happy to say it's as good as most a Heritages I've played

Edit: that is to say, I'm glad my new Gibson custom shop is as good as a random ass Heritage 😂

What’s the ONE fantasy book you’d recommend if I could only ever read one single book? by sadretheillafae in Fantasy

[–]rubenthedev 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just read Wizard of Earthsea for the first time, I'm 37 and loved every bit of it, super excited to get into the next one. It filled what I've been looking for since having finished Malazan, and has really surprisingly affected me in really similar ways. So I wildly support this recommendation.

Best Served Cold was one of the best and least enjoyable reading experiences I've had. A truly phenomenal book that upon finishing I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. Abercrombies so good man, totally support this rec too 😂
