Nice Things

[Double 0 Soul]

They're lovely things!.. seems to be quite a lot of infos on Insta but not being an instagram user.. i'm struggling to find any other information..

I found this video in Koktail Magazine

https://www.koktailmagazine.com/2022/09/06/made-in-thailand-ep-1/

Is this^ the same maker ?

 

[julian-wolf]

@Double 0 Soul That looks like the same, yeah

They do have a website: https://feawhouse.com/collections/feawhandcraft, although most of the cool content seems to go directly to Instagram, as you’ve noted

Signal Garments coin & card case, just over 1 year

Still a bit faint to see in photos but starting to get a double curve fade on some of my type I pockets

@Lorcan Very nice but in my case also very redundant, Apple Pay killed off the plastic

Yeah bit old fashioned but if I can avoid having everything on my phone I’m good with that. Although it’s thicker it’s a smaller footprint than my old billfold which I like.

A guy I know from uni has everything in his palm, literally, a chip- on it he has got his credit card infos, house key and more.
Each to their own, I guess.

A fella at work has had an implant in his forearm,  like a chip so that he can pay for stuff. I'm thinking why??

Modern life, eh

You don't need to carry a leather wallet.

Tech is great at solving problems they made. Real problems…quite few and far between. Just me, but if carrying keys is the problem beguiling one’s life, one may benefit from some real adversity here or there.

I know someone who has a chip on his shoulder  🤣

One of life’s great joys is getting home from the club, a little inebriated and saying “I’ve Got The Key” to which your partner replies “I’ve Got The Secret” 

Modern tech is denying us the lyrical genius of Urban Cookie Collective !!

@Hopethisoneisnttaken requested I share some more details about my guitar in this thread so here yall go. May as well post the whole rig. 

Guitar was a scratch build by yours truly. I built a guitar for my senior project back in high school and never played it much because it's rough around the edges. But I had dreamt of a Tele/Explorer hybrid ever since.

Fast forward 5 years to May 2020, about to graduate college, covid is doing its thing, and I don't have a job lined up because Kenda Tire rescinded their offer. Found myself with more time on my hands than I knew what to do with, so figured I'd go for it on the dream guitar. 

Some specs: swamp ash body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, Lace Drop n Gain neck pickup, Duncan P-Rail bridge pickup, Mastery bridge, Grover lockers. There's a small 3-way dip switch that coil splits the P-Rail so it can do its thing, and the tone knob is push/pull to coil split the Lace pickup too. 

Few years later I was bored of my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (and sick of playing a combo when everyone else has half stacks at our gigs) so I bought a Mojotone kit of a JCM-800 2204. Don't know squat about amp circuits but I love soldering and woodworking so I put both of those skills to use. Only hiccup along the way was the output trans polarity being reversed. I'd never have caught it, but a real cool amp tech in Akron got me sorted. 

I get a huge kick outta gear nerds coming up to me after a set and asking what's up with my guitar and/or amp. Anyway here's the pictures. Thanks for lookin'!

Very cool!

Did you leave it raw wood? Oil-rubbed?

@rbeck I love this - you may have posted it before but does your band have a bandcamp or anything?

[rbeck]

@CSL thank you! It's a Danish oil finish. No stain, the Danish oil added a real nice yellow hue to the swamp ash. 

@ATWM I've posted us before in the music thread but that was a couple years ago. Here's a link to our newest EP. All our other releases are on our Bandcamp too (as well as the major streaming services if you prefer to use any of those).

I love cars, so picked up a new vehicle this weekend. Had my previous car for 11 years, passing it on to my girlfriend.

[redragon]

cannot afford a pair of Wesco, so this will have to do for now loll

[CSL]

Haha! It took me a second to figure out what was going on there.

[Thanks_M8]

Not necessarily a thing but always a cheer up: it's peak orange season! 

Top: navelina, bottom: tarocco, both from sicily 

Much needed cheer up after I got laid off this week...

[Broark]

Sorry to hear about the circumstances @Thanks_M8, best of luck with the job hunt and enjoy the oranges!

[Thanks_M8]

Thanks! Chin up and all that, I might get some free time out of all of this

Father Christmas brought me a Roland TB-03.. (i asked him for one last year, got socks instead)

It's impossible to program with any kind of forethought, but what it does do.. you can loop some notes which sound shit, turn up the resonance, turn up the envelope mod, bit of overdrive and you've got Acid Tracks by Phuture..

Either..

1) The entire Acid genre was a complete fucking accident

2) I haven't got a clue what i'm doing

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

Can’t it be both @Double 0 Soul? 

looks like a lot of fun

For my birthday, Mrs F bought me this:

which replaced this!

 

[Double 0 Soul]

Nice!

You can buy more tools to go in it 

 

[MJF9]

^^ lovely colour Martin but I'd be saying a warm thanks but no thanks and giving it straight back.  My strategy is to avoid having any tools in the house in case I get asked to do a job.  The very thought.  There's no way I'm doing proper work in my work wear.

[Double 0 Soul]

You wouldn't want to get them mucky!.. i put my mum a new shower tray in on Christmas eve.. got a blob of white silicone on the thigh of my fresh Sugarcanes.. took me hours to carefully unpick it from the fibres.

I've got a couple of similar tool boxes in the top of our cellar.. albeit Contico.. they're full of every tool one would need to srip and rebuild a 66 VW Microbus or a 1970 1302s so neither box has been opened for 30yrs..

 

[MJF9]

Definitely don't want to get them mucky or my hands dirty 😉. We used to have the local handy man come around and do all the odd jobs until he retired from his retirement job aged about 75. He was an old school maintenance man for a big power station in his day so could turn his hand to anything. If I had to be there, strictly only when essential, it'd be only to make him a cup of tea

[Double 0 Soul]

From a generation raised on 'Mr Ben' and 'Let's Pretend' .. i'm not at all surprised
