I've been debating on if its time to upgrade my phone. Right now my battery life says it charges up to 80%. I still find myself having to charge during the day. I use my phone a lot with the band I'm in. Having to take care of bookings and our socials. I don't take photo's or videos as often as I should. But that's mainly due to storage space on my phone. I had looked at a refurbished 16pro, but wondering if I should wait until sept for the 18pro. I know its way more expensive then the refurbished, but I can also do a monthly payment on the phone through T-Mobile. Are there any other suggestions I should look into?

Are there any crust bands that don't have a bass guitar? In a band currently where the bass player has a hard time playing with us. Is it possible to do a crust band with two guitars and drums?

I play for a punk band and wrote a song. There is a four bar section that I would like to try and do a quick "solo". I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around doing so. We play in C standard and the rhythm part is following the Phrygian scale. I have added a photo of the scale. The rhythm part is playing frets 1 -3, then 4,6, and back to three before starting all over again. I'm just unsure how to go about doing a quick solo part for it.

I purchased a dunlop lock strap, I was having a hard time with using the screws it came with and the bit felt piece. I decided to use the felt piece I had originally, now it won't budge and the strap lock is loose. I have tried a bigger screw driver head to try and hold on to the screw hole but no luck. Any suggestions?

A bandmate/friend and I are using older tube amp heads. His just had some problems, which happens with a 35 yo head. I am using a DC-5 head, are there any newer heads to check out? I do enjoy tube amps, and love the way the DC-5 sounds. Also starting to think maybe an upgrade to something a little more reliable might be a good option. Suggestions?
