NGD - My first 8 string

NGD - My first 8 string

My Harley Benton R-458MN MS finally arrived after 1 month and 18 days since we ordered it from Thomann and it's my first guitar with more than 6 strings that I have ever touched. It's (technically) my first guitar too, since the guitar I used previously was my brother's.

It's super fun to play, but I'm not home yet to plug it in and hear how it sounds. I've heard the pickups are this guitar's weakness so I want to change those but I can't afford expensive ones so I'll have to save up maybe.

So, does anyone have any recommendations for lower end pickups that could ideally coil split? I don't really need absolutely fantastic pickups but I want to be able to coil split.

Can't find a really specific wiring diagram

I decided that I wanted to change the pickups, replace the pots that I accidentally broke putting apart my guitar and the jack that was already broken, so I got some pickups and I want to be able to coil split the humbucker, but I can't really find a wiring diagram for HSS with 2 pots (volume and tone, the tone pot is push/pull for coil split) and a 5-way selector switch. Does anyone have a diagram I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Old Yamaha buzzes loudly when plugged in

​

So I have this Yamaha RGX-112, it has an HSS setup and it has been repaired a lot throughout it's life, and it's my older brother's guitar that we share. For some reason, since a few weeks ago, whenever I move the cable to which it's plugged to, it buzzes really loud and when I play I can't hear the guitar itself at all. Sometimes when I move the cable a bit more it stops buzzing and I can hear the guitar again.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the cable, because the cable works with my bass absolutely fine.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks in advance. (Also I'm sorry that it's so dirty inside.)

(EP 9 spoilers) I figured Bambang would struggle talking

This is what really happened, trust

Jaya Abadi needs to create an OAVI that should let him talk smh.

Tier list of MMA characters based on their IQ

Not every character is here because either I didn't have enough information on how to rank them or they're not really that relevant. Also I might come off as harsh but I'm just joking I'm not trying to hate on anyone so please don't hate me 😭

I'm only going to cover a few here. If you want my reason for others, just ask me in the comments (I might take a while answering sorry). This is just my interpretation of the characters.

Bambang: the GOAT of the Mau Makan Apa world. He saves the world twice with Moonlocking 2 and Switchstar and becomes CEO. He also has the self control to not kill Tobii and realise the cycle of revenge that caused everything terrible to happen. Also I feel like he was that one kid in school who never studied but always had perfect grades, I don't know how to explain it. Also he's lowkey cute asf

Jamal: I might be biased since he is my favourite character, but, he is the one to come up with the Skyscraper solution, which was massive (quite literally) because of how it collects solar energy. And, although his attempt at Moonlocking 1 failed, he definitely has to have helped in some way for Moonlocking 2 to succeed. In the end I feel like Jamal's potential must have been overshadowed by Bambang, who probably became the favourite, especially after Jamal failed Moonlocking 1 and lost Fightover (unfairly, I must add).

Erika Utomo: an unstable person with powers she doesn't deserve. She only has powers because she is a test subject for material Limits and because she is the daughter of Jaya Utomo. She is way too driven by her emotions and just because she is rejected by Gix Busok is why she attempts to kill everyone by erupting Mt. Lawu.

Tobii Agustin: just some dude with powers. At least Erika was a material test subject for BATAS but it's never clarified why Tobii's given these powers (to my knowledge). Suddenly he just wants to kill all the KS for basically no reason and he would be the one under the Skyscraper if Jamal hadn't been unconcious because of Erika so he can't do shit. Also he sends a 17 year old to the past just because the cat was asking for food before also sending himself to a time where he was obviously not authorized to use his OAVI so they get stuck in the past and fucking steal the tempeh recipe causing the food crisis in the first place.

Poteto: fucking kills everyone because his ears were "goofy".

I kinda want to move a few like lowering Garong a bit but I'm too lazy to do that now. I'd also lower Mansur a bit more.

This is what actually happened in fightover

Don't ask me why Bambang's shoulders are messed up, I don't know either.

(Also, I'm sorry, I don't have the credits to the drawing of the second image. If you know who made it, please let me know)

Something Erika dumb something

By the way I know she didn't kill Jamal directly, but she allows it.

Labi just confirmed Gix to be 178 centimetres (I guess) tall, so here I made a really quick and bad chart of how tall they *could* be, based off of Labi's statement.

Keep in mind I did count the ears, they're a part of their body, after all.

Also the big macs (shortened to BMs because I wanted to) are for those who call their country the same as the continent of America.
