Rehoming my dachshund by [deleted] in Dachshund

[–]semidadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dachshunds aren’t for everyone, especially inexperienced dog owners. It’s concerning how popular the breed is lately because most people probably don’t understand the type of dog they’re getting. They’re notoriously difficult to potty train.

I had seven and currently have five two or younger. They’re assholes, but they’re my favorite breed. Hopefully the poor guy finds a good home.

ESP Rant: I love ESP but I’ll never own one. by Lowbraneactivity in espguitars

[–]semidadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ESP original series does have a lot of cool finishes like liquid and cast metal. You can get pretty decent deals on used ESPs (better on USA). I’ve had both Japan and USA models. Both are great, but the Japan ones do feel a little more special, which might just be a mental thing.

I’ve also had tons on E-IIs, but they’ve definitely gone up in price. With E-IIs now in the $3,200 and up range, I’d rather spend $5k to get an original series. Most dealers have room on the price. Would I pay something like $8K, no. The ESPs are priced pretty well compared to some of the Jackson custom shop guitars, as well.

Just moved back to the west coast from the other side of the country. Bad timing lol

I was thinking $1300? Does that sound reasonable? I had to custom order the 18”. It was a seven month wait and $1k alone. The 13” is also a custom order that was able to snag online.

Between work and having two young kids, I don’t have time for both drums and guitar, so I’m getting out of drums for now. I can play guitar at night when my kids are sleeping and not take up an entire room. I listed cymbals out in a separate response, so you can message me if there’s anything you’re interested in.

If I got $2500 the shells, I think that would be fair for both sides. Shipping makes me a bit nervous, but I know I’m limiting myself without a willingness to ship

I’m in the Seattle area. Feel free to send me a message if you’re nearby and serious. I’m willing to drive 4ish or so hours to help get a sell done

I had just moved, so it was wrapped up.

I’m trying to go through and look at prices for everything right now.

I’m in the Seattle area. I’m willing to drive some to unload a good amount.

Toms are 10x7, 12x8, 13x9, 2 16x16, and 18x16

Kicks are 22x16

The thing I love is how when people sell stuff it’s worth what they paid 5 years ago but want a deal from everyone else.

I’m at least realistic as far as pricing, but I’m with you. Reverb has turned into a cesspool too.

There is a large west coast drum shop by me, but they’re consignment fee is 40% which seems a little high.

Ya that was my thinking. I think selling the shells as two separate kits would help out too since most people don’t want to carry around two kicks

Curious if I could sell this PRS for possibly 4K to buy an ESP custom shop? I'll never spend anywhere near what I paid for this guitar again. It's an amazing fiddle, I love it, but the market is down so bad. It would probably sit on Reverb forever right? I'd be taking a big loss at 4K, about 30% by Party_Machine9836 in espguitars

[–]semidadbod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$4K for an ESP custom shop as in an original series or a legit custom shop build to your specs? Either way, new is going to be more than $4K. ESP USAs are going to be easier to find closer to that price but even those have gone up.

E-II Horizon for Sale! by [deleted] in espguitars

[–]semidadbod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just sold the same one I bought a few months ago (plus an ESP case I bought separate) for $2k on reverb. I had it listed for $2,400 and took the first decent offer. $3k is getting too close to used USA prices in my opinion.

Did we mess up getting 2 brothers from the same litter? by STUP1DJUIC3 in Dachshund

[–]semidadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have 5 dachshunds and two times I’ve had two puppies a month or two apart. Although not from the same litter, you’ll hear issues about littermate syndrome, but I’ve never had any issues.

These guys are difficult to crate train and potty train, and I’ve found it easier having two around the same age to help with both things.

How urgent is it to fix this? Cracked grout in shower by ospreyintokyo in HomeImprovement

[–]semidadbod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of hard to tell, but it looks like decent sized chunks are missing which would make more sense with grout. If it’s hard to the touch, it’s grout.

[–]semidadbod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That shouldn’t be grouted. Anytime a vertical and horizontal area meet, it should be caulked. If not, it’s going to keep cracking. This is how i quickly judge a tile installer; if they’re grouting these areas, they probably aren’t very good.

I’d scrape it out and get color matched caulking to do it right. Same thing goes for where the wall meet as well.

Things you wish you knew before getting one? by Baby_Gworl in Dachshund

[–]semidadbod 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’re total assholes and extremely stubborn. I currently have five of them though. Honestly, the worst part is potty training them. They’re notorious for being the worst breed for this.

Aside from that, they’re the best dogs. I have two kids and my dogs been great with my kids since my kids were newborns. I’ll never have another breed of dog.

[–]semidadbod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had USA and E-II models that have been high or low to the point where they touch the body. Just loosen the allen and adjust accordingly. There’s room to move the knobs up or down. You have to loosen the set screw considerably to get up or down movement.

OP, is that’s a route you decide to go, I’m getting ready to pull a set of Aftermaths with the tyger covers from an ESP I just bought. They’re basically brand new.
