This looks so cute, I love the artstyle! The "new" series felt so sterile so having something more stylized is a great change. Also, playable Daisy!? In this economy?
who do y'all want at 4th
As you must know, In the upcoming draft San Jose is picking 4th, the highest pick they've had they selected Brad Stuart 3rd overall in 1998. Consensus is that while Michkov could be the best player available at that spot by quite the margin, a Carlsson or Smith might be safer bets due to concerns regarding Michkovs contract in Russia and some "character issues" that I haven't seen validated anywhere in my admittedly limited research.
My inclination is that the sharks can afford to wait for a player like Michkov as things stand now, and I think I would take him, but if I had to guess, I'd say they take Smith. I'm not super upset about this, but I'm interested to hear other people's thoughts on the pick?
Awesome, I had no idea that the feedback issue could be solved/alleviated by bracing the top to the back of the guitar! How does that work?
I didn't get one but I saw plenty of them! It was rocking at the colosseum, I haven't seen it like that since 2019.
wrong thread but still based. bike + transit gang
I'll be in attendance tonight, I read that over 20k tickets have been sold! Fuck Fisher!
This looks way better than it has any right to, I expected to hate this. Now I'm looking at fonts again reevaluating some shit
Honestly it's the silliest thing. I like just the tactile sensation of the strings under my fingers. Also I think that guitars just look really cool, so I just gravitate towards picking one up whenever I get a free moment in the apartment. This is why my guitar lives right next to my desk so I can see it and remember to play it frequently.
Nice setup, I'm SUCH a sucker for a white j bass. Even looking at it makes me wish I were better at the bass.
Yeah it's the other way around. Twitter straight up neutered api access for 3rd party apps late last year. It's a race to the bottom here.
I think I probably ran consistently for at least 3 years before signing up for a race ever occured to me, haha. I think I eventually signed up for a Thanksgiving 10k, and while I was very comfortable with the distance, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing in terms of race day logistics. I was home from college at the time and I had forgotten my running shorts so I ended up running in my brother's sweatpants which were A) pants and B) much too large for me. Additionally, I had not put together that I wouldn't have a place to store anything and had brought a drawstring bag with me from the car so I ran the whole race with that bouncing around behind me, pants billowing in the wind 😂
As someone with not a ton of exposure to this topic, it's heartbreaking to hear about the environment that these people grow up in, and how life they are robbed of by an institution of fear and control. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to break free of the cycle when everything and everyone you've ever known is working against you do hard. I'm glad that their children are thriving in school and showing them that all that effort and grief was for a reason.
It would actually be an incredible power move to gig with a sweet guitar covered in smudged signatures from a famous band that you don't really know / have an appreciation for. Still, I'm glad it made its way to you, thanks for sharing!
Oh yeah, they're definitely built to last! I love that they're made from unused car upholstery too. I got my girlfriend one of the camera straps as a gift a couple years ago and I think they may even be a little overbuilt for that haha
Thank you! I initially was planning on swapping them out for more traditional jazzmaster single coils but I fell in love with the sounds you can get out of the these. I mostly play indie and powerpop type music and they're perfect for that
In a surprise twist, the pickups in the J Mascis models are constructed more like p90s than typical jazzmaster pickups, with bar magnets along the bottom and the adjustable screw pole pieces. Guess they figured jazzmaster pickups weren't confusing enough people as is! 😅
Great to see this community starting up on Lemmy. After years of lurking on Reddit, here is my main guitar!
The sign of a thriving guitar community is fools posting photos of their unmodded incredibly popular guitars, so it's an honor to be the first to share this photo of a JMJM here :P It's not even the more desirable model, it's a 2020, and I don't particularly get along with the ToM bridge, but it's mine and I love it all the same!
Is that an offset on a rug that I spy?? Sweet build! A lot of offset tele bodies look kinda strange to me but this one just feels right. Love the grain on the body.
Well said. Honestly while I'm sure many, especially those that have made it here, would have paid an ongoing subscription for a perpetually unshittified Reddit / other social media, the VAST majority of users are going to flock to a free version. We didn't get where we are by accident.
I'm relishing at the thought that the same greed and incompetence that might take the A's out of Oakland is causing problems for them in Vegas. The special session did not look like it went well at all.
The small part of me that hasn't been crushed under the cruel weight of reality is still holding out hope that they throw in the towel, sell the team, and new ownership negotiates properly with Oakland, but obviously not expecting it... yet...
There’s a way to build thousands more housing units on San Francisco’s west side
Really hoping to see support for more of this style of development in the SF Bay Area. The Sunset District is notoriously low density and has been pretty NIMBY when it comes to building anything new in the area.
