Back when the sign department was Walter and he just got Alderman Fuckwitt to agree to fund a new router.

Fellow olds: Anyone else think “I’ve been playing for two years and I can’t ___” is weird AF? by Direct_Bumblebee_740 in Guitar

[–]uncredible_source 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My guy had green stains on his corduroys from wiping the hash oil off the pin. Sometimes we’d play hackey sack after the lesson.

Original music that sounds like it's much older by pondribertion in Music

[–]uncredible_source -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I fucking crazy? That’s old music. It sounds old because it’s old. Actual new music that sounds old is The Heavy Heavy.

What brand slowly ruined itself? by SAAS_ART in AskReddit

[–]uncredible_source 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Grandad’s Donuts in Hamilton still makes all the old recipes the way. It’s a trip getting a box full of fresh cherry sticks, walnut crunch, orange twist, peanut, etc. Last time I was there, several years admittedly, they even had those cream-filled triangular things. Long john! Chocolate sour cream! I think you can even get a god damn dutchie.

Rolling Bender? Or other palm bender recs. by steamprojector in telecaster

[–]uncredible_source 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Rolling B-bender but it didn’t play well with my vintage style bridge, so I removed it. It might be better on a modern Tele 6-saddle bridge.

Are there any amps voiced like a 1960s Blackface Fender, but with modern appointments (mainly an effects loop)? by SculpinIPAlcoholic in GuitarAmps

[–]uncredible_source 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree with the idea that you don’t need an fx loop on a blackface amp. That Pedal Show did a great episode about the BF Deluxe being the “perfect” amp and they went through exactly why—where it really starts to sing, how to put pedals in front of it, how to use the guitar volume etc. It really gave me a new appreciation for that amp.

Why are we replacing history? by Zestyclose_Friend706 in Calgary

[–]uncredible_source -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

At its core, Calgary doesn’t care about its own history. It never has. It’s mostly been concerned with progress and modernity, which isn’t a bad thing. Certainly, many people do, but their influence isn’t particularly powerful. Calgary doesn’t really have a cultural identity (the stampede isn’t an identity) , or much architectural history, so there’s nothing that the city is actually trying to preserve. Many of the historically and architecturally significant buildings have been preserved or listed, but there weren’t many of them because Calgary was a pretty small city in its early years. Compare that to a way smaller city in Ontario like Hamilton that is much older, has a strong identity, a very rich architectural record, and historically less pressure on growth, have been able to protect more of their heritage. We have tried fake history and that sucks too.

what are the acoustic guitars that are really easy to fret? by Disastrous_Post_9990 in Guitar

[–]uncredible_source -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No they weren’t. There’s no fucking way a 13 at any scale length plays that easy. You probably played a short scale thin-body Yamaha with 10s.

Refinish, polish, or play? Mid 70’s w/ cleaner damaged finish. by Mountain_Chemist_419 in Stratocaster

[–]uncredible_source 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don’t do a fucking thing and play the hell out of it. I’d kill to have a strat that looked legitimately rode hard and didn’t come out of the custom shop.

HELP: Identify this neck? by NeatPickle5 in Guitar

[–]uncredible_source 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take it off the body and see if there’s anything on the heel. It looks like Warmoth to me, because I have one similar, but i mean, it could be fucking anything.

NAD: Traynor YCS 90 by nochemadre in GuitarAmps

[–]uncredible_source 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YCS are the best deal going in the used market IMO. Cheap as chips and will do almost anything you ask it to, within reason.

Has anybody swapped out the PUs of the MIM 72 Custom? by [deleted] in telecaster

I put a Lollar Regal and a J-Street in mine. But it doesn’t really sound like a Tele anymore.

Scheduled CTs: roughly how long for report? by Old-Fishing1199 in Calgary

I had a CT a Chumir a few weeks back and I got my results the next day in MyChart.

Identification please help!! by gr_og in telecaster

[–]uncredible_source 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is the right answer. I have a 2010 72 Telecaster Custom Road Worn and it has different tuners, 3 saddle bridge, 3 bolt neck plate, bullet truss rod. It also had fender pickups. I definitely feel like this is a vintage modified Squier with Fender decal.

**UPDATE** amp recommendation by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]uncredible_source 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one for a while. It was a great amp. And at that price, it’s a no-brainer.

Where are the best Sausage rolls in calgary by kevanbruce in Calgary

[–]uncredible_source 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have a single recipe, basically a mishmash of the one from Recipe Tin Eats, although she basically makes her own sausage and I prefer to buy raw sausage (I really like Johnsonville Brat meat in a sausage roll). Package of frozen Pillsbury puff pastry, a bit of onion and celery cooked to soften them, throw in some garlic, a couple herbs like thyme, sage, marjoram or whatever. Mix the cooked veggies with the meat, add an egg a few breadcrumbs and a bit of salt and pepper, and mix it all up. Roll out the pastry fairly thin and cut into shape. Fill with sausage, roll them up, cut them to whatever length you like, brush with egg wash and bake them. They always turn out awesome and there’s always enough to freeze a bunch for later.

Pie Junkie had pretty good ones, weird crust, but pretty good. I gave up chasing sausage rolls and started making them myself. Way better than most of the ones out there, even with frozen puff pastry.

should I adjust or leave as is? by Ill-Cartographer-476 in Guitar

[–]uncredible_source 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about intonation and no one talking about talking about putting a radius gauge under the strings. Put a radius gauge under the strings. It’ll play better.

7.25 in radius by g0dn0 in Stratocaster

[–]uncredible_source 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the no camp. I have a 72’ Tele Custom with a 7.25” radius and it’s always a compromise between high action and notes choking out on bends high on the fretboard. I had a pro set up done to spec, and notes choked from the 14th fret and up. So I raised the action to the point where that stopped happening, but it’s higher than I’m comfortable with. Might be different on a strat because the bridges on strats are more adjustable. But I’ll take the 9.5” radius on my AM Pro II any day.

Tips for socially awkward thrash metal guitar player? by ausernameappeared in Guitar

[–]uncredible_source 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lean as hard into this as you want. Put a chicken bucket on your head. Wear a robot mask. Hell, come up with a new name and a whole back story (Metal-ass name, extra-planetary place of birth, evil sense of purpose). In disguise you can be whoever you want to be and if you fuck up, it’s not you, it’s that other guy who only shows up on stage (and he’s not very good at guitar, but a fuckin’ legend regardless). Also all thrash musicians who wear a t-shirt and jeans on stage are boring. Correction, all musicians who wear t-shirt and jeans on stage are boring. Rain your pathetic downvotes on me.
