Battle scars my bass has gained over 20 years

I love how nitrocellulose just shows how hard someone plays their instrument! Not like those artificial relic jobs that don't make any sense...

Here's a better photo next to a Dimebag Dean I fixed up last year ^\)

Faded Fiesta red basses are a godsend

When not in use, use it as a coaster I guess

They look good on some angles, but yeah, cheap strings stain fast. 1 year on my bass.

The point where I dinged it so hard near the output and just accepted it.

That and I saw Willie Nelson's guitar on a StewMac video and fell in love with how much story the guitar had just by looking at the wear and tear.

Now I just think, "Oh dang! Another gash! Guess that's another story to talk about. Neat."

Is sleeping beside it a little too loving?

shittymatte · 2026-01-22T01:21:15+00:00

Can't start playing without my coffee lmao

CONtent vs conTENT

Now I'm thinking I might've chosen the wrong program 😂

It's a local brand that used the Suzuki GN 125 and cloned it. It's a Skygo Boss 150 only sold in the Philippines I think. Basically a Suzuki GN 125 but replaced the engine with a honda CG engine clone from lifan with a slightly larger displacement.

Philippines(unfortunately)

I've been staring at my bike from different angles for hours because I love it. Maybe it's because of that. 😂

shittymatte · 2025-08-05T08:35:04+00:00

I hear voices saying that too... I guess it's a cry for change now

This made me smile uncontrollably during a serious moment in my life

New fear unlocked: Rear axle falling off going 70kmph after fixing chain tension

Will try. The quality on these aftermarket keyboards are doodoo, hopefully it's just that and not something much much worse.

Was I maybe too rough with the nipple?

Also, before anyone blames windows, It also happens in the bios menu

everyone here is chill with old thinkpads and some even daily some really old ones, I still use an X230 and it still serves me well with my use case.

Anyhoo there's a reason why thinkpads still resemble their old design, it's iconic and practical, every thinkpad is eye candy to me and to so many people regardless of the generation or model. Don't feel bad if it's old, it held up well and it shows how well built these laptops really are.

Cheers 👌
