If anyone needs a few minutes of recollections about Milch's father and uncle and grandfather from the beginning of his memoir read to them by a c*cks*cker who happily just bought the book, here it is: https://youtu.be/5XVIKIv9uME?si=o9F0UBjky2ISjCma&t=80

There is a bit of lead up at the front because I'm allowing for the fact that it's posted to my social media accounts primarily and I'm giving folks time to scroll over, consider it, hit 'unmute', etc. And I explain what the book is and who David is and why I care. So the link above should bypass all that unauthorized cinnamon for you, free gratis.

Edit: Thanks for the correction re: DIODE, not resistor. I swear I knew that, but my brain's vocabulary did a swap on me today. I have soldered diodes and resistors and capacitors into circuit boards before, but I totally screwed up when posting this question. Anyway, thanks again to all of you who responded. Cheers!

This thing has two circuits, one for the fretless half of the neck and one for the fretted half of this seven string battlemech of an instrument. It's owned by a friend and the whole thing is run one one 9v battery. I noticed that the weak battery terminal cap was definitely preventing consistent signal and I mean to replace it with a hard plastic one instead of the original floppy vinyl one. I see there's a resistor wired into the battery box in line with the red and black wires and I'm just curious if anyone knows what the purpose is. For my own edification. Curious if it's something I'd like to add to active circuits in my own guitars someday. Would also appreciate suggestions on where to crosspost. (I'm a luthier of 26 years with factory and repair shop experience in wiring, if that's a factor in anyone's response.) Thanks, all!

I told myself I'd remember this, the last time I saw it. But it's left my memory. I wanna say it was one of the earlier WMTSS full lengths or earlier "Little Stinkers". Pat's definitely sitting under the pedal mobile when he starts going off. It always reminds me how fantastic the guitar tone in this song is and how fun and borderline parodic the lyrics are. It sounds like Phil Lynott is sending up braggadocious tough guys that shoot their mouths off in his own scene. Or just doing an outsized autobiography in song form.

So if you know which of Pat's videos I'm trying to remember, please help!
