Congratulations to RunJun for their Pic of the Week!
  • I’ll always love random IASIP quotes injected into conversation.

  • [Highlight] Royals put up nine runs in the first inning against the Astros
  • Astros pitchers are STRUGGLING this year.

  • MLB Rumors: Yankees' Gerrit Cole out 1-2 Months with Elbow Injury, Will See Surgeon
  • The beard was the source of his power. It’s all gone wrong since he shaved after joining the Yankees.

  • How do you like to cheer yourself up when you're sad?
  • Play guitar. Ride a horse. Ride a motorcycle. Play frisbee with my dog. Read a book.

    Like the other reply, the little things are big things.

    I hope you can feel better, friend.

  • What are your top 3 purchases of all time?
  • Thanks! That’s an old Bob Marshall. It’s been replaced by a new one at this point.

  • What are your top 3 purchases of all time?
  • I also have a CU24 SE. It’s an incredible instrument! I’m down to 4 guitars these days, and two of them are PRS. 😁

  • What are your top 3 purchases of all time?
    1. My horse, Lola. She’s an amazing 9yo grey quarter horse mare. “Retired” barrel racer, she’s the perfect trail/ranch horse. She’s got the best quirky and silly demeanor, she loves to hang out, and she’s playful, but never gets crazy under saddle.

    2. My guitar. 2012 PRS 513. I absolutely love that guitar, and it got me back into playing after almost 20 years off. It’s my “do everything” guitar, and the difference in sounds between pickup combinations makes it incredibly versatile.

    3. A good mattress. I spend a solid 1/3 of my life sleeping (or trying to) and a great mattress helps so much.

  • Rhett Shull featuring Dylan Adams - Great Gig In The Sky [cover]
  • Absolutely phenomenal. They totally nailed it. The vocals of Clare Torry on that track added so much to the emotion in it, and they captured that very well on the slide.

  • [Discussion] What technique are you working on right now?
  • Improvisation inside a chord progression.

    Trying to improv across a few different modes while following a chord progression from a backing track.

    Getting phrasing and “feel” right for what I want to play.

  • What is your classic+ wishlist content?
  • Free respec, on the fly without going to a trainer.

    Area looting

    No more mob tagging. Seriously, why? Competing for the same mob with 500 people is insane.

    Built-in quest locations and map markers. No need for questie.

    Customizable default UI. Let me move things.

    Then once the QoL items, which exist in the retail client already anyway, are implemented you can start adding “new” instances, raids, etc.

  • [Passan] Shohei Ohtani's deal with the Dodgers is for 10 years and $700 million.
  • LA out here trying to buy another championship.

  • This just in, player that lost game thinks other team didn’t play fair. More at 11.

  • New pickups in my PRS SE (long post)
  • It takes to minor upgrades really well

  • New pickups in my PRS SE (long post)
  • I feel like a good neck pickup can give you warm, rich tones that are more difficult to get with a bridge pickup.

    Swapping from lead/melody to rhythm/chorus on neck to bridge gives a lot of feeling to the tone, imo.

  • New pickups in my PRS SE (long post)

    Decided to try my hand at a pickup swap. I ordered Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha and Omega pickups, an adjustable soldering iron, and watched about half a dozen YouTube videos.

    I’m fairly handy, but I’ve never soldered anything before. This was an entirely new experience for me, but I figured worst case I could take it to a shop and have them fix it. So let’s get started!

    !Strings off Strings off!

    Going to change the strings anyway, so they come off first. It’ll make things way easier to deal with, too.

    !Back cover off Pull the back cover and check it out.

    I pulled out the tone pot, which is a push/pull unit on the PRS CU24SE, and compared the wiring diagram I downloaded from PRS and the one that came in the package with the new pickups. I had a pretty good idea what I was looking at, so it was time to start taking things apart.

    !Stock wiring This is the stock wiring. Going to start desoldering things now.

    !Bridge pickup out Bridge pickup is out!

    Stock pickup came out very easily. Just heated up the solder blob and out she came.

    !New pickup wired in

    New bridge in.

    Took me a few tries to get the new solder blob nice and neat, but it went in very easily as well.

    !Pickup in.

    Tested it out, and the coil splitting works! Got it on the first try. The instructions are perfect!

    !Neck pickup in

    Now for the neck.

    First one was easy, so I was more confident with the neck pickup.

    !Mounted up and tested out well.

    All mounted up and tested out. Everything is awesome!

    !Tidy up the wiring

    Tidy up the wiring a little and close up the back. Put the new strings on, level and set the pickup height, then let it rip!

    !All done

    That’s it! All done. I was really surprised at how easy it actually was. If your thinking about trying it out, go for it.

    The new pickups are phenomenal, and I feel like they’ve elevated the rest of the guitar. The PRS SE lines are really good as is, but I felt like the pickups were a weak link in an otherwise awesome guitar. The Alpha/Omega set are really good. A lot of clarity in the cleans while keeping articulation with distortion. Great addition overall.

    The one I always go back to

    2012 PRS 513

    The 513 was, to me, one of the most interesting guitars to roll out of the PRS shop. Boasting a unique pickup and wiring arrangement, it allows for incredible diversity in selecting and splitting pickups.

    With 5 single coils and unique wiring, the 513 is able to deliver everything from single coil twang to humbucker crunch, in 13 total combinations.

    5 coils, with 13 different configurations, the 513 is my personal "do it all" instrument.

    Classic

    This guitar was built by my brother-in-law back in 1999. Third guitar he ever built.

    The back and sides are hand scraped rosewood from a stump in his yard while he was living in São Paulo, where he learned to build guitars.

    It was originally given to his father, but was passed along to me as one of the only guitar players in the family.

    How’s it going in the .one?

    It’s been an interesting 10-ish days on the internet in general. Big thanks to @jonah@lemmy.one for hosting Lemmy.one. It’s a cool community, and I’m really enjoying the fediverse thus far. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
