NGD - Tracked down a left handed 210CE and I’m in love

2023.06.07 23:39 counterlock NGD - Tracked down a left handed 210CE and I’m in love

I’m a lefty, and I’ve had a Yamaha for about 10years but didn’t actually play it until about 6-7months ago. As a reward to myself for sticking with it, and my new found addiction, I decided to get myself a forever guitar. Had to track down a store in the US that actually had a left handed one in stock to save from specially ordering it, and spent a week in anxious anticipation waiting for it to show up, but it was worth it.

2023.06.07 22:15 2milelanding Mustang humbucker mod?

If anyone can provide the dimensions of the space between the bridge and pick guard on their CV Squier Mustang Bass, it would be much appreciated!
Can’t seem to find any dimensions for this online and my local guitar stores don’t have any mustangs in store to check out. Basically want to know if a stingray style humbucker pickup would fit between the bridge and pick guard of this Squier CV Mustang. Looking to keep the same through-body style bridge and pick guard. Only real mods would be routing out the extra space for the pickup and wiring another knob into it.

On a recent trip to see family, my daughter and I collected some graveyard dirt from these ladies. They have a fascinating story.

My daughter and I went on a road trip to visit family in Charlotte NC a few weeks ago. We always stop by to see these ladies, as they are buried just a few plots down from my Uncle. My aunt told me about these ladies when I was very young. She met them when they worked at the Park N Shop grocery store near her house and they were friends. They had been abandoned in Charlotte by they're tour manager in the early 60s. They're lives were absolutely fascinating. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_and_Violet_Hilton

2023.06.07 20:31 bighousmous Pixel Buds Pro vs....

A quick review for those who might be curious. I am long time Nexus/Pixel user. When Pixel Buds first came out I bought a set and enjoyed them. Loved the fit and Google integration. But I lost them. While waiting for a new version (this was before A and Pro came out), I decided to buy Technics EHA-AZ60 to use on planes for noise canceling, and to enjoy loud music.
Skip to this week... I've been reading nothing but great things about Pixel Bud Pro's, so I decided to take advantage of the sale and pick up a set. The first thing I did is test things important for me - comfort, noise canceling and audio quality with base settings on both Pro's and my almost 2-year old Technics. Here are the results:

Comfort: Technics are a bit more snug and still comfortable on a 6 hour flight. I know fit is personal and can be adjusted with third party bits. Pro are just as comfortable, so no complaints at all.
Noise Canceling: With NC enabled on Pro's, I can easily hear some hissing. But NC still works. Technics have zero hissing. When Technics NC is on, it's wicked/creepy quiet, and a clear winner.
Sound: And this is a deal breaker, at least for me. Pro's have a great sound, and I love the EQ, spacial audio, etc. However, my old Technics blow away Pro's in terms of loudness, clarity, base, etc. And they also have an EQ.

I've never done these types headphones tests before. However, after this quick test I was so impressed with my old Technics, that I immediately ordered a new version of these headphones, and will return the Pro's back to the store.
As a disclaimer - not bashing Pro's. They are after all comfy with a great set of features. But if NC and sound quality are a priority, then there are better options.

2023.06.07 19:30 hacket69 Break up, Then played. 21M 21F

I'll keep this as short as possible. Me 21M Male, my ex 21F Female. We were together for about three and half years until she broke things off. We did all kinds of things together, such as going on trips, vacations., Spending time with eachothers families etc. Things were really good, Until she moved in with me into my appartment. As time went she started to complain about how we did not live in the town that her job was in. We lived in another town, which was roughly twenty minutes away (by car) she told me that she wanted us to move to her town, which i replied that we can very well do so if she gives me the time. Mind you i only lived in my appartment in my town for about a month before then. Asking her to give me time to find us an appartment in her town wasen't good/quick enough for her. So her response was to break up with me. I begged her to stay, asking her what i did wrong and how i could fix this. Which she replied claiming we were totally diffrend kinds of people, even tho i always was on her side and supported her and her decisions. She left just like that without giving me even an heads up the day before. 3 months passed and im newly single. we've had NC during these 3 months until one day. I bump into her in the store. I acted like she was nothing to me but a stranger, and walked right past her. An hour passes and all of a sudden im getting a text from her on my phone, how she wants to meet up and talk. She tells me how big of a mistake she made and wants me back. So as idiotic i am. I tell her, If you give me time and convince me that you actually want me. It can be us again, which she replied that shes willing to do just that. Two weeks passed until she changed her mind again, saying how unsure she is about us once again. She told me that she loves me deeply but isnt in love with me anymore, and therefore cant be with me as a partner, she wants to have contact with me as friend but only as that. More or less she alot of back and forth. One day she loves me so much that she wants to get together again, while the next day she just wants to be friends.

Please help me, any advice or tip's is appreciated. Whats "eating" me up the most is the memories we have together, the thoughts/plans i had of her and i getting old together, the future more or less. I really dont know what to do anymore. Im sad and feeling just hopeless.
Thanks in advance!.

Any good music stores?
Hi, I'll be in Berlin for a couple of days and I got some free time. I want to check out good music stores if there are any. I play double bass (classical) so if there are some places that are selling these, that'd be interesting to see what kind of basses they have.
I also (kind of) play bass guitar, so stores that sell guitars/basses are also welcomed, but my main interest is still double bass.
Thanks!

2023.06.07 16:58 Scarlett_fever Say Anything Guitar

Soo I cleaned out some stuff from my childhood home and found a guitar that was signed by Max and the band back in maybe 2009? Is there anything I can do with this? Do you think trying to return it to him would be a nice gesture or he wouldn’t really care?
The story of how I have it- I was living in Brooklyn in a warehouse building. My neighbor was friends with Max and had his guitar stored at his apartment. The neighbor had a party one night where someone apparently took a chainsaw and started messing the place up. Neighbor gave us the stuff that could be salvaged to store while he cleaned up. After a few months he took back his stuff and said we could keep the guitar since Max thought it was destroyed at the party anyways. I honestly don’t know how much of this is even true, just what the neighbor told me. Any thoughts?

2023.06.07 16:13 swan0 [Review] Fortress Festival

Hi all,
I went to Fortress Festival in Scarborough this weekend just gone and had a blast. There's some discussion going on here but I wanted to do a write up specifically for those who couldn't make it. I've included links to respective bandcamp pages and all of the band pictures/videos are mine!
First of all...
The Venue
After driving almost five hours to get there and checking into the BNB, walking up to this was quite an experience. Right on the sea front, Scarborough Spa is made up of multiple rooms. The entire festival took place on one stage in this room. There was a bar at the end and another in a quiet room downstairs (which also doubled up as a great place to charge your phone). Carling, Madri, Caffreys, Aspalls, and a couple others on draft. Cheapest pints were £5 and there was a lovely Fortress reusable cup you could get for £3. Made the mistake of doing this straight away on Friday and having to carry it around for the rest of the day. There was also a lovely Fortress ale for this event but it ran out pretty sharpish. Also worth noting that staff were incredibly friendly, from the local security + bar staff to the festival organisers themselves.
The only food on offer were things like sandwiches and pots of salad and pasta behind the bar. I'd heard they wanted food trucks but couldn't get them in due to a wedding going on on the Saturday. Apart from a couple of hours during the wedding, there was a great big balcony with a fantastic view of the sea and plenty of places to perch.
Entering the venue was super easy, hand in the paper ticket and receive your wristband. I'd heard of a few people forgetting their ticket but apparently confirmation of purchase was enough to claim your wristband which was nice. IN the entrance foyer there was the Fortress Festival merch stand as well as a few others. One who's name I didn't get were selling tons of pins and patches, then there were records and tapes from Onism Productions and Dark Earth Records. If you know any of the other companies there let me know! The band merch was just inside the main room and there was some great stuff on offer. I left with a Nemorous t-shirt and a Panopticon tour t-shirt as well as a copy of Kentucky, which was kindly signed by Austin Lunn after I bumped into him in the crowd. That really made my weekend.
The Music
Friday
The important bit. Friday kicked off at 2pm with English BM band Andracca and what an opener it was. Crowd was disappointingly light for them and I felt a little bad but it was the very first set of the entire festival. They still earned some new fans, myself included. Great energy and intensity.
Next came another English BM band - Andartar. Heavier than Andracca but similarly great intensity. I knew I'd stumbled upon a brilliant festival already at this point. Another pic. Lighting was great throughout the whole fest.
Slight change of pace next with Devastator, a black thrash band from Derby. First pit of the weekend starts, even if it only consisted of around 6 people. They got a great reception and put on a good show and their set was 30 minutes, same as the two before.
Then we get to our first jaw drop of the festival. The Sun's Journey Through The Night. One man band from England recently nominated for Metalhammer's Song of the Week. Incredible performance and highly recommend them. Nice theatrics with the horned skull mask and just fantastic energy from everyone involved. I also got a drumstick from them, cheers!
Wode come next. 40 minute set this time. Manchester black/death metal. Loved his vocals.
Then we have Finnish pagans Havukruunu. Setting the 'atmospheric' tone for the rest of the evening with a nice intro. Place was looking full now, though it was amazing how spacey the room felt. Should also note the crowd was really chilled and friendly. Great set, loved the bassist's bullet crown.
Time for the headliners. I say headliners because they both played for the same amount of time and both felt like they had the right to finish the first day off. So - an hour's set from the magnificent Can Bardd from Switzerland. Beautiful atmospheric folky black metal, many people said they were their favourite band of the weekend. Great set and, as you can see, the place was really alive. Popped out for a smoke and thought 'what a place'.
To finish off, Saor from Scotland. First time hearing electric bagpipes which was a fun experience. Just like every other one that day it was a brilliant set, the crowd were really into it and I especially enjoyed the flute(?). Frontman Andy engaged spoke with the crowd a few times. Devastated to find out from someone that he was a Rangers fan but seemed a nice guy. Nice view leaving the spa. Day 1 over, time for this fucking incredible kebab. So good.

Saturday
Made the 30 minute drive to Whitby before the festival kicked off, mostly to see Dracula's gaff. Impressive place but cost £15 to get in - FYI, you can just walk in through the exit in the gift shop...
Made it back to Scarborough Spa - which was once again looking ravishing - just in time for the post-black metal openers from Birmingham, Lunar Mercia, at 12:30. Really nice sound and lovely vocalist who I'd spoken to the day before.
Next we have Nemorous. Basically Wodensthrone v2 as it's made up of mostly ex-members. Started amazingly, finished amazingly, but suffered a very unfortunate snapped guitar string in the middle that seemed to take an AGE to restring. The crowd was totally sympathetic but you could feel the frustration from the entire band, I can't imagine how disappointed they were. Think they only managed around four songs but they did a great job and I went and bought a t-shirt afterwards. Visceral vocals and first keyboardist of the festival.
My personal highlight of the weekend came at the end of Nemorous' set. Just before they started I checked in at the Panopticon stand and got myself a copy of Kentucky. £80 on Discogs currently but they were selling them for £35. That alone made me very happy, but, whilst watching Nemorous, I noticed a familiar face. There was Austin Lunn from Panopticon, the reason I bought the ticket to this festival, going ham at the barrier (the guy with the hair, obviously). Once the set finished he very kindly signed my copy of Kentucky after I frantically searched for a marker pen and got a photo with him. He stuck around to chat for a few minutes and was one of the nicest musicians I've ever met. So enthusiastic and asking loads of questions. My weekend was made and absolutely nothing could've ruined it at that point.
I missed Wyrdstaef and Glemsel, though I hear both were great, so I could take my merch back to my lodgings before I got stuck into the rest of the day.
After a short break and a few beers I got back in time for Ard. Described as 'Monastic Northumbrian doom', Ard is the project of Mark Deeks from Winterfylleth. As a one man project he was naturally assisted by the rest of Winterfylleth! This was a real change of pace from the black metal we'd been listening to since early Friday afternoon and he did thank everybody for sticking around for him 'even though there were no blast beats'. Really enjoyable set.
Next, Ante-Inferno, from Scarborough itself, with the drummer being the organiser of the festival, Gary. Really been enjoying their most recent album 'Antediluvian Dreamscapes' and they were a class act. In case you haven't caught on, everyone at this festival was fucking great. Really loved the vocals here.
Here we have one of my biggest highlights of the weekend and a band I've not stopped listening to since I left Scarborough. Afsky, from Denmark. They rendered me absolutely speechless. Sure, the wood and the torches and the industrial fan were a nice touch, but they played with an intensity I hadn't seen to this point. The sound was amazing and the screams were just top drawer. As you can see in this video, it was way busier on the Saturday. Room was packed but, like Friday, far from cramped. I've listened to them every day since Saturday and I finished one of their albums on the drive home.
It was getting real misty at this point. Eldritch powers or smoke machine, who can say?
Penultimate act of the day, English black metal darlings Winterfylleth. Mark Deeks from Ard back behind the keyboard this time. I'm a fan of Winterfylleth and it was my first time seeing them but I wasn't really blown away. They were good, I think I just expected them to be better. Or maybe it was the anticipation of Panopticon around the corner... either way, there was a better pit this time as well as a few corpse-painted balloons floating around. Very kvlt.
Finally, my time had come. I bought my ticket for Fortress the moment I heard Panopticon were there. One of my favourite black metal bands, with Kentucky being one of my favourite albums of all time. At this point, around 21:30, I hadn't had a pint for about 2 hours to avoid needing a piss and losing my spot at the front. I got right to the barrier, which was insanely easy, and waited it out. Soundcheck took a little while and the whole fest was probably running a solid 15/20 mins behind. Think Austin Lunn spent more time trying to balance his 'Commonwealth of Kentucky' flag on his amp than actually doing the soundcheck, not that I was complaining.
And then we were off. They were fucking amazing in every way. I was emotional. So much Kentucky material, including the wonderful little folky bits. Austin wasn't satisfied with the sound at the start and kept asking for more guitar, not that it interrupted his flow at all. Though, the string instrument they were using (fiddle? violin? idk) could've definitely been a bit louder. Austin's vocals were fantastic but I was utterly blown away by their keyboardist, who's name I don't know. Guitar work was fantasticand at times it sounded just like the studio album.
Austin did an impromptu meet and greet afterwards, just jumped down from the stage and started to chatting to people. Really phenomenal set. Sadly it was the end of the road for me, as I couldn't stay for Sunday's lineup due to work, but I had had an incredible time and finishing with Panopticon was a moment I'll never forget.
I heard Sunday was also good, though I think it would be fair to say the lineup was slightly weaker. Heard great things about Abduction and Cenotaphe, though I've heard a few things about Bolzer having a nightmare with soundchecking (as in it took fucking ages and he had a go at the sound engineer - and someone may have heckled him?) but I can't say much more as I wasn't there. A friend did say they were really good once that got out of the way.
Final thoughts
Favourite sets: Panopticon, Afsky, The Suns Journey Through The Night. In that order.
Best pint: Caffreys. What a drink. Don't see much of that down south.
Best moment: meeting Austin Lunn and getting him to sign my Kentucky record. And that kebab.
Fortress is one of the best festivals I've ever been to. Not because it was flashy or had the best lineup or anything like that (though Panopticon puts it up there for me), but just because it was so well organised and chilled. Everyone was super friendly, there was zero hassle, the venue was incredible, and all the bands delivered. They've already confirmed they're going again for 2024 and they're moving to the bigger room at Scarborough Spa which holds 1800 and looks awesome. It's going from 3 days to 2 days (Saturday and Sunday). Here's their Facebook page and there's a forum with plenty more pictures and discussion and links to other black metal gigs in the UK, worth joining.
There's nothing new here for people that did go, but I'm hoping it'll be an enjoyable read/watch/listen for some who didn't and it may entice you to buy a ticket for next year. I've got no affiliation with the festival, just a new regular! Thanks for suggesting I do a write up, ScarlyLamorna. Thanks to anyone who reads my wall of text. I'm not a writer or anything of the sort, this is just some personal musings with some action shots. Also, if anyone went Sunday and wants to add a write up, please do!
Feel free to ask any questions/request any more pics or videos.

2023.06.07 14:08 Cutlington Hot Fuss (Acapellas) *vocals only

In celebration of the 19th anniversary of Hot Fuss the debut album by the band, i give you the whole album as Acapellas, or Vocals only for those who are unsure of that term....i made these all myself, i also separated the Drums, Bass Guitar, GuitaSynth/Instruments for every song aswell, but figured the thing most want to hear is Brandons vocal tracks....so here it is for your listening pleasure. We already have Hot Fuss and Sams town as Instrumental Album released by the studio but the not vocal tracks. I also previously shared some Studio Multitrack and Stems from The Killers in the sub previously, so those that missed those, this would be a chance to get them aswell. DM me for those as these links are just vocals of Hot Fuss.
I am also sitting on the whole Sams Town album aswell with the same stuff Drums, Bass Guitar, GuitaSynth/Instruments and Vocals aswell, ill consider sharing it depending on how much interest this gets. I can do any song really, but i dont listen past Sams Town with The Killers catalogue so thats all i have bothered to do stem separation on....if you nice people want something done then hitme up on discord (Cutlington#2316) as im on there most days and can do a song for you.

Its a Base64 coded link, so any decoder can handle it and give you the link. Files are stored on my personal cloud drive so that can/will remain up as long as i feel necessary...the youtube below is a preview of the acapellas to show the quality and legitimacy of my post

2023.06.07 11:57 mArKoLeW My dreams seem dumber and dumber the more time I spent here

DISCLAIMER: I am no professional and trying to educate myself on the go.
Hi, I started to plan a homelab for myself and did quite a lot of work on that so far. Planned nearly everything out and am currently looking for HW and starting to feel down. I layout out my future rack (left is front, right is back) and noticed it's going to be expensive but that's fine as I am going to do it modularly so step by step. Even though it's going to stay in the planning state for quite some time as I want to do it properly and not spontaneously.
In general, I want to have something like a "three node" setup (one node optimized for cpu power for tasks like virtualization and for example cfd, one node for gaming and GPU accelerated computing, and one "node" [consisting out of at least 3 low power nodes] for HA and serving services like DNS, pihole, website, etc) The Diagram is quite complicated but you maybe get the idea. I want to only have the HA nodes running all the time and powering up the "bigger" ones only when I need them.
My main focus for hardware is the ability to scale the "power" nodes up. So a great mainboard in which I could for example easily put more and more ram or more GPUs without having to change the mainboard. Feeling like "Oh I need more RAM" Okay just buy it, put it in, and be done without the overhead of needing to change the mainboard and so on. The goal is to make them more overpowered as money finds its way into my pocket.
What I am struggling with now is finding suitable hardware for that purpose and it makes me question the whole project. So I just thought I could share my progress so far with planning, maybe a lil sanity check, and some recommendations on trusted stores for used commercial-grade server components to get the motivation up again. Also, a lot of concerns in posts on here about noise and heat, and the classic only get what you need is stressing me a bit out. So as I plan and read on here I feel more educated but also more delusional about my project.
Also how much did you guys plan and how did you cope with struggles while doing so? Or did you just go with the moment?
If someone feels like talking about it on maybe discord or sth I would be more than happy about that.
Just for fun here is my network diagram but I don't think that is important. I am going to try to realize it with Proxmox and VLANs.
Please ask for any more information you want/need and give feedback on my post itself.
By the way, I see the whole planning and homelab as a hobby so I am not interested in rented or cloud solutions.
So please share your thoughts if you have time and maybe I get a great new idea.

Here are our top 10 picks:
Number 10: Plaza Mayor Plaza Mayor is one of the most important public spaces in Madrid. The square which once hosted coronations and executions, was first constructed in the 16th century. The square’s name and functions changed several times over the course of history, but it started out as a popular marketplace. Today, Plaza Mayor is famous for outdoor cafes and restaurants, the statue of Philip III on a horse, and the much-anticipated Christmas market.

Visit other squares in Madrid, like the famous Puerta del Sol dating back to the 15th century.
Number 9: Food & markets Madrid is packed with exquisite bars, elegant restaurants, colorful markets, and sophisticated outdoor terraces. The city is a melting pot of Spanish cuisine, highlighting the country's diverse food culture. Start your day with a serving of tasty churros dipped in hot chocolate at Chocolatería San Ginés. Spaniards are known for going big for lunch, so huevos rotos, paella or any other typical spanish meal is a great option.

This unique transportation hub is also a gateway to Madrid for travelers to other parts of Spain and Europe. Over a century after it was constructed, Atocha's old train shed was transformed into a luxury hub in 1992 and now includes the Greenhouse Atocha, a botanical garden composed of an extensive collection of tropical plants. The greenery is a great and relaxing sight for the passengers. Did you know that Gustave Eiffel, the leading engineer of the famous Eiffel Tower, collaborated on the renovation project of the train station?
Number 4: Templo de Debod Experience a piece of Egypt right in the heart of Madrid. Templo de Debod is an actual over 2,000-years old temple relocated from Egypt, originally a shrine built to worship the Egyptian god Amun. The temple was a gift of gratitude by the Egyptian government to Spain in 1968, after the UNESCO’s efforts to help save several monuments and archaeological sites from being destroyed while constructing the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River. You can also visit the interiors and admire its hieroglyphics and sculptures. If you don't have time to visit the interiors, also because there is usually a very long line of people waiting to see the temple from the inside, you can still admire it from the outside. It is especially enchanting during the sunset. Surrounded by charming parks and gardens, the site is a local favorite for scenic strolls, picnics, and even yoga.
Number 3: Queen Sofia Arts Center From classical collections to modern installations, Madrids’s Golden Triangle of Art consists of three world-class museums and is considered a mecca of global excellence in art, history, and culture. Visit Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, a museum of 20th-century art opened in 1992. The museum is named after Queen Sofia and is situated close to CaixaForum art center. Queen Sofia Arts Center houses a collection of art from some of the most famous artists in history, including Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of interactive exhibits, making it an ideal place to spend the afternoon. In addition to the arts center, the museum also houses a library, auditorium, and café. This video is sponsored by Beeyond, helping you save space when you travel and organize your suitcase.

Number 2: Gran Vía Spain’s vibrant capital is also a renowned shopping destination. Gran Vía is Madrid’s most famous street, also known for its iconic and remarkable architecture. Built between 1910 and 1930, Gran Via was essential to Madrid’s development and modernization. Tagged as the street that never sleeps, the Gran Via also boasts next-level nightlife experiences, driven by luxurious bars, renowned theater productions, high-end street art, world-class designer stores, and enormous shopping malls. You will hardly run out of options in Gran Via, with the numerous stores by popular fashion brands such as Zara, Mango, Primark and high-end boutiques. Besides shopping, visitors can also watch theater and musical shows since the city is also known as the Spanish Broadway. Don’t skip the first skyscraper in Spain or the Iconic Metropolis office building, one of the major highlights of Gran Via. BTW, did you know that the biggest Zara store in the world is located on Gran Via, right across from Plaza de España.
Number 1: Palacio Real A visit the Palacio Real will take you on a journey through Spain’s royal history. The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official home of the Spanish Royal family. And while the royal family no longer actually lives there, the palace is still used for state ceremonial purposes. The palace, open to the public, comprises over 3,000 rooms, including the Throne Room and the Royal Armoury. Next to the palace is the Neo-Romanesque crypt Catedral de Almudena, the seat of Madrid’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese, consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993. Behind Madrid’s grandest church is Parque de Emir Mohamed, the location of the ruins of the Muslim Walls, built in the 9th century during the Muslim occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Don't miss beautiful Neoclassical Sabatini Garden right next to the palace or an English-style garden - Campo del Moro. And here is the bonus that we promised. Flamenco is Spain's most celebrated dance and music style, commonly performed through rhythmic clapping, feet stamping, and emotional vocals and guitar. So, if you have some time left, visit one of the countless flamenco shows thought the city. Although flamenco is a form of Spanish folk music and dance that originated in the Andalusian region, Madrid became a epicenter for those looking to succeed in this special genre. This unique art form is believed to have developed from intermingling cultres of Andalusian Roma, Sephardic Jews and Moors from southern Spain. There are many other attractions and neighborhoods to discover in Madrid. We wish you a fantastic trip to this amazing metropolis!

2023.06.07 05:45 Brilliant-Advisor533 [DISCUSSION] Sansonic Stratocaster

Sansonic guitar, presumably new
I got this blue stratocaster for $37 at a thrift store and I was wondering if anyone had any information on the brand. The headstock says sansonic in red letters. It is very sun damaged and rusted. I have heard of synsonic but I doubt the two brands are related.
