AFAIK there's no EU dealer, meaning I can only buy what ever's available used on Ebay and Reverb. I have emailed BC Rich twice before in the past about availability of certain models but never got a response. Whenever I visit the website there's just a whole lot of out of stock/sold out.

I'm not ordering anything directly from them anyway since I have nowhere to turn should there be any problems (I have no faith in US couriers services) so an EU dealer is the only option really. Then I read more and more that new orders arrive very late and have defects, Not good for an instrument costing one and half grand and up.

So what's up? Are they still in business? Not seeing any new or updates from them.

Playing with the idea of putting bass cabs at opposite sides of the stage/rehearsal room. The head sits on one cab and is connected with 1m cable. If the other cab is connected with a 10-15m cable will that create a significant delay effect? I worried that using two different length cable will muddy the sound because of a delay in the second cab. Would it be better to connect both with an equally long cable or am I over-thinking this?

Been trying to install the Loudmax plugin but's just not showing despite installing the files in correct folder according to the instructions. Has anyone gotten it working and if yes how? TIA.

I have spent the better part of a morning setting up (or trying to setup) my 7-string but I cannot get the low B to stop buzzing. Neck relief is good and string height at the 12th fret is 2.25mm. The B doesn't buzz when played open but does when fretted. None of the other strings buzz at all. Visually the neck looks good too, no twisting or anything.

Is this a normal thing? I don't hear the fretbuzzing when playing amplified so to my ears it seems as if the string is too floppy/loose.

The strings on it are pretty old to be fair. Maybe it's because of that. Or it's just the nature of a low B at 25,5" scale. Anyone else have this? There's not much I can do at this point except raise the string height.I might do that since it's not a string where I go very high up on the neck but damn...

Surely there's an easier way to set the line widths than clicking on each view and setting them manually every time. It's such a basic function that every other CAD software has that I can't believe they overlooked it but I can't find where to set it. Help me out, someone. Please.

Can I use the Sansamp to bypass the preamp stage? My thinking:

Bass --> pedalboard ending with a Sansamp --> into FX return on amp.

This would completely bypass the preamp and only use the power amp section, right? And allow me to do all EQing on the Sansamp, right?

The idea is this: if I do all tone control with the Sansamp and only use an amp (or DI into the house system) for volume it should give me a consistent tone regardless of what system I'm playing through.

Right?

Edit: yes, I'm aware the speakers will also affect the tone. I'm thinking that if the output from my end is always the same that's about as close I will get. Sure the sound guy will tweak a bit but they usually know what they're doing. Was just wondering if this is a thing or if I was way off. Or if I might blow an amp or speaker doing this.

Is this happening to any one else. Freecad worked fine two days ago but when I tried it earlier today the splash screen shows for two seconds and that's it. No system updates took place so I don't know what could have happened...

Freecad 1.1.3

I have many guitars, mostly 6 stringers but also two 7 stringers. The 6ers are all tuned to B standard, the 7ers to the usual E standard with the low B.

I keep reading about baritones being easier to play at lower tunings due to the increased string tension so I'm considering buying one. To the baritone players: is there really a drastic difference in playability or is it more marketing hype? Curious.

The only way for me to try one first is to order one and then return it if I don't like it. I'm not keen on doing this because a) shipping guitars unnecessarily is something I'd rather avoid and b) I don't want any return issues since I'd have restring it.

Cheers.

Edit: I misspelt baritone in the title. Can't find a way to change it.

Another edit: I play bass too. They're either 34 or 35 inch scale. I know that doesn't translate 100% to playing chords on a guitar but 34"is still considerably more than 27".

Pretty sure my Kribensis laid eggs a few days ago. They dug a cave behind one of the rocks and the have been guarding it non-stop since.

My question: I was planning to do a water change today but not sure if this a good idea considering the situation. Should I go ahead with the change or wait another week or so?

These are just backup files, right? Can be deleted when no longer needed without breaking anything?

I am not an engineer, just a guy trying to understand. Please be patient if my question seems stupid.

I was looking at the glass transition temps of various filaments I use and I see that the GTT of PA isn't that much more than PLA. In fact it seems more in line with something like PETG. The GTT of ABS on the other hand is high, relatively speaking.

PLA is often criticized for having a low GTT but PA isn't. Why is that? I bought some PA a while back, did a test print which I then held under the hot water tap and the part deformed. I know that the PA melting temp is considerably higher than PLA but deformed is still deformed, right? So what are the benefits of PA. And why is it considered better than even ABS with it's GTT of roughly 20°C more?

TIA

I referring to standard filaments, nothing GF/CF filled.

I have 6 Synodontis petricolas. Two seemed to have paired up and have in the last two days partially burrowed under a large rock i.e. they made themselves a little cave. There are tons of hidey-holes in the hardscape as it is and until the last few days I hadn't noticed any pairing up going on so this is new, at least for me. Is this mating behaviour for this species?
