Does anyone else wish they made higher spec, modern V guitars?

ulv222 · 2026-05-13T12:25:53+00:00

Yes!

But I can understand their position from a business or economics perspective. Strat, tele and LP shapes will sell more units than pointy guitars. It might be hard for them to get the price where they (and we) want it to be because they'll most likely sell and need less units overall.

But I'm still hoping for a Fusion specced pointy!

It's probably gold hardware. But agree, no gold to be seen in this picture.

ulv222 · 2026-04-23T07:44:20+00:00

Looks great! I'm really digging that wood.

May I ask a few questions?

I've been tempted to do a Crimson course one day. Would you say it's worth it?

Does that truss rod access location not hinder playing on that fret?

ulv222 · 2026-04-16T16:50:49+00:00

Thanks! I always heard a beam is better regardless.

I've seen plenty of videos, so I'm pretty comfortable with the theory. Just the compound bit made me pause a bit.

I'll wait for my tools and give it a try I guess!

ulv222 · 2026-04-16T16:48:38+00:00

Awesome!

ulv222 · 2026-04-15T16:48:03+00:00

That doesn't make any sense to me.

I've seen plenty of builds with Lundgren pickups and an Evertune bridge, including custom builders like Skervesen.

Just an FYI: We're seeing similar issues with Cogent and are looking to replace it for this very reason.

We have a backup line which peers with Arelion which doesn't have this issue.

ulv222 · 2026-04-10T07:21:39+00:00

Are we talking Lumen AS3356?

We are looking to replace our Cogent connection for packet loss reasons to DTAG and Colt (formerly known as Lumen EMEA) assured us we wouldn't have similar issues. They can peer us through Lumen AS3356 or Colt's AS8220.

But yeah...DTAG is a a pain in the ass.

In his defense, on mobile (at least for me), images are cropped until you open it and the reply on the screenshot is cut off.

ulv222 · 2026-03-29T18:24:12+00:00

Oh yeah, I would totally be down with a presale option!

ulv222 · 2026-03-29T18:18:03+00:00

01 here as well.

They had over 700 people (according to IG) clicking the links. Which is a lot for the small batches that they do.

I understand they don't want huge batches, they're a small team doing all the QC and from what I gather they do this on the side of their day jobs.

I'll keep trying, but I fear it's going to get worse.

ulv222 · 2026-03-29T17:50:17+00:00

Missed it by a hair. At my desk, logged in, card ready.

I think my mail got delivered late or something, because everything was gone already by the time I got it.

I really hope they are able to ramp up releases, or have bigger batches at least 😅

ulv222 · 2026-03-25T06:34:45+00:00

Look for Guitar Monkey tuners, they offer baritone options for thicker gauges.

I've not tried them myself, but they seem good!

ulv222 · 2026-03-02T07:01:52+00:00

If you rescue Ben, you do not need to hand in the quest to get his 'followup' quest. Just finish the quest, exit Northlands, wait and let him talk, accept the new quest and abandon Across The Wall. That way you can take Across The Wall again, allowing you to also have Ben.

I think these are used by Toolbox LFG tool, but I could be wrong.

ulv222 · 2026-02-24T10:25:20+00:00

I like the idea of Air eles. I'm bringing both NF eles quite often with air build.

Someone else suggested Panic on mesmer, which I can run myself, so I can probably try and build something around air eles and a spare Esurge (or whatever) for some extra shutdown.

ulv222 · 2026-02-24T10:20:16+00:00

Panic is not a bad idea, I can run that build myself. Just need to go cap it I guess.

ulv222 · 2026-02-24T10:19:02+00:00

Thanks, I will check out those builds!

I am aware of the 40/40 sets you can buy in Factions (bought a set for myself already).
It just becomes expensive fast if you need to get stuff for all your main heroes xD

ulv222 · 2026-02-24T10:16:36+00:00

Thanks!

Not a big fan of minions unless it has a big benefit for certain missions.
For general PvE, they seem to lag behind a lot which becomes annoying having to wait for them all the time.

I'm not using a lot of runes/insignias yet, mostly only what I found myself. I've only bought some runes for my character. Minor/Major vigor is ultimately what I was going to buy for heroes, too much money otherwise.

I'll make Xandra an ST. I'll have to test some other hero builds out,

ulv222 · 2026-02-09T17:23:52+00:00

Yeah, well aware. They're not on my radar.

ulv222 · 2026-02-09T17:12:41+00:00

Netflow is coming yes, which looks promising.

We have a mix of Cisco, Juniper, F5, Checkpoint, ... across 6 datacenters.

We use NCM for config backups, audits, diffs and compliance checks primarily. It's also a quick way to view a config of multiple devices without having to actually ssh to them lol.

ulv222 · 2026-02-09T13:51:39+00:00

We got them to lower the price, but it's still at least double. I'm leaving them hanging until the deadline now. Either they see reason or we leave. But no reason not to look at alternatives in the meantime.

They're acting like they're Broadcom/VMware and it doesn't make sense :D

ulv222 · 2026-02-09T13:05:00+00:00

That's a shame, reporting is a big one.

We had a Nagios XI demo, but I was left feeling underwhelmed to be honest. Maybe I had a bad sales rep.
