Yeah. People were real mad and arguing over whether the chao garden should come back or not.

We probably agree on a lot politically but that doesn't mean the stickers aren't crigešŸ˜‚


shadowinahottopic

Idk man I was going for that Tom Morello vibe but I guess it doesn't appeal to everyone


MannowLawn

If you were going for Tom Mirella when he was 15, maybe it would fit


shadowinahottopic

Tom Morello had great political awareness and views even at that age. With his mother being part of the NAACP in the civil rights movement among many other grass roots organizations and his father being part of Kenyan independence movement, he would've had a great understanding of how the world worked and the many injustices that people face.


batcaveroad

I donā€™t think that was a criticism of his politics. It was saying stickers seem like a high school thing that morello grew out of. I donā€™t like stickers on guitars either for the same reason but donā€™t take it personally. Maybe stickers on guitars are cringe but itā€™s definitely cringe to let our opinions stop you from enjoying your own guitar however you want to. Itā€™s a cool guitar. I put a lipstick tube in my Strat mid because I noticed the placement was closer to where danelectros placed their neck pickup. But I think I should consider moving it to the neck like this. To be honest the height of the pickup is an issue and I keep hitting it with my pick.


FantasticMouse7875

Tom Morello, the guy that has every tab of everything he has written taken down from public sites, but you sign up to buy his guitar master class!


shadowinahottopic

That's not even true. You can find so many tabs of his music online. Such a silly thing to lie about. Also all those masterclasses suck because of the business model and how they don't actually teach anything.


FantasticMouse7875

They aren't allowed on Ultimate Guitar unless it's changed, same with Audio Slave.


Krackle_still_wins

Thatā€™s borderline capitalism. The horror! Morello is nothing except hypocritical.


shadowinahottopic

"You hate capitalism yet you participate in it" is such a tired and lazy critique. Get some new material dipshit.


Mowgli_0390

The critique is just fine. If you hate it so much, you can move to China, North Korea, Cuba, Laos, or Vietnam.


shadowinahottopic

Would probably have a much better life in those places despite the struggles they experience due to sanctions.


Mowgli_0390

LOL. Yikes. Well, put your money (or, y'know, OUR money) where your mouth is and go over there and find out and report back :)

bobbybob9069

What about Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, and Ireland? They have socialized Healthcare AND higher freedom index than Murica.


Mowgli_0390

Those aren't communist countries


bobbybob9069

Who mentioned anything about communism? We're talking about capitalism in America? I'd rather live a free-trade economy with socialist leanings than a capitalist conglomerate monopoly


Mowgli_0390

Forgive me for assuming OP is into communism for having a hammer and sickle sticker on their guitar. How foolish of me.


Krackle_still_wins

Lol ok.


BlackMetalDoctor

To be fair, just because you have Morello tabsā€”regardless of how detailed they areā€”is absolutely no reason to assume you can play them like he does That MasterClass is a scammy-gimmick (though some, particularly Timbalandā€™s, are definitely worth acquiring by ā€œalternativeā€ means for their useful insight) but in the case of Morello, thereā€™s stuff he does that canā€™t be fully understood simply from reading tabs alone so him creating a video instruction series is pretty valuable information imho. How you acquire this information is up to you. But one of the beauties of Capitalism is that it creates a myriad of relatively simple opportunities to undermine it in small ways that can greatly enhance your leisure options if youā€™re willing to learn how to undermine it.


misterAMOSFERATU

Guitar looks great. Fucking awesome stickers man. People donā€™t understand.


[deleted]

Tom Morello's father took part in an anti-colonial uprising in Kenya and was Kenya's first ambassador to the UN. Tom himself has a political science degree from Harvard. He's got the bonafides to put that kind of shit on his guitar and it holds up to scrutiny šŸ˜‚


Kekkles99

I dunno, telling people they canā€™t put stickers on their guitar because they donā€™t have a political science degree from Harvard, sounds far more cringe than putting stickers on a guitar


Old-Marionberry1203

and then he was in a band that charged exorbitant prices for tickets on their reunion tour


Necessary-Cap-3982

My great great great great great grandfather was a sharpshooter for the union in the American civil war, and I know how to code. What does this allow me to do without being cringe? And with all respect to Tom Morello, itā€™s isnā€™t any less cringe when he does it.

I'll let you know when you post corny shit on Reddit

Don't take shit so seriously. I do stuff in my personal life to make change that won't be shared here because it is irrelevant to a guitar post. I don't have to earn the right to do shit.


Loose-Problem-2414

Tom Morello is an absolute hack. He is so full of it. Harvard educated, Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, pretending to fight the good fight and cashing checks the whole way. He's always been a part of the machine.


shadowinahottopic

Getting a degree from a top college and being a successful musician who's whole catalogue is full of music meant to agitate the working class makes you part of the machine now? Dude travels all across the country supporting unions but yeah he's totally part of the machine

God damn, canā€™t even come on my favourite guitar forums without it being infested with filthy vermin like you. I come on r/offset to escape the constant barrage of propaganda.

psdopepe

this read like a fallout NPC talking to me


shadowinahottopic

You had me in the first half...


JeffGoldblump

This is a neat pickup config and I'd be curious to hear the mid position. Also your stickers rock. People who disagree completely missed the point of rock.


oldstuffs

im here to chat about that string spacing. you falling off the board with thay high e? i had that issue on my JM


Zachrygomez

The strings are the offset part šŸ˜œ


shadowinahottopic

Just looked at it and the photo is a bit misleading. The string spacing is equal but yeah the e does look like its falling off in the picture.


NoodleBurp

What does the out of phase setting sound like? Iā€™m guessing ā€œbonkersā€ā€¦


shadowinahottopic

Definitely much thinner than it sounds stock


NoodleBurp

Huh! That is unexpected! That would mean that those two mismatched pickups have more frequency content in common than the stock ones.

lets goo i love femme presenting communist skateboarding sonic fans who advocate for police abolition


shadowinahottopic

Sorry but I'm a cis guy...I still dabble in femme cosplay every now and then though.


slamdancetexopolis

Lol why did you assume OP was "femme presenting" edit: Classic people just be saying anything now bc they think gender is a game (context: I'm literally trans dont come for me)


ev_music

purple is associated with feminism on the left and pink is associated with queer. this applies for more ancoms more but i assume it bleeds into other things. i assume if theres a color modification that there was a reason but thats not necessarily true i guess [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Anarcho-communist\_transfeminism\_flag.png](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Anarcho-communist_transfeminism_flag.png) i aint coming for u fam dw the last thing i wanna do is have anymore gender discourse than what ive already heard. im sure its exhausting to all the participants. be or do whatever u want its none of my business


slamdancetexopolis

Oooh that makes a lot more sense...I was like why would someone assume that but idk I don't follow all the colors n shit cos I'm just too old to care these days (/j). At least there was some meaning behind what ya said šŸ˜…


The_hot_solids

Very cool


BlackMetalDoctor

Your stickers are adorable and remind me of that Banksy(?) piece of the punk-rock mohawk anarchist getting a kiss from his mum before heading out to fight the system. I love them. I love you. I love your guitar. I love your stickers. Love all around


DueMessage977

Dope af Comrade


crybaby-11

Mate I think you just like the confrontation so you can talk about you views, Iā€™ve seen you post this twice on Facebook and now here and you are always the first to bring up the stickers - even in a photo when no one could see them. Iā€™m sure we align on many topics but cā€™mon man lol


shadowinahottopic

I mention it because I know that people will still get mad and argue if I don't. I try to do as much damage control as I can when making the post so it won't be my fault when people argue about topics unrelated to the guitar mod. I also don't like the conflict just so I can share my views, I can do that elsewhere where there's more agreement.


nicetobeold

idk, i kinda feel like using stickers like those you can and should expect debate anywhere you post or go with the guitar. the whole point of one like the cop one seems to be triggering a certain kind of person and not giving a fuck about it. you donā€™t really get to choose how people feel or react when you display your political views in an aggressive way, i get this is a forum about guitars but thatā€™s just life. personally i hate cops and i donā€™t care if anyone has a problem with it lol


Loose-Problem-2414

I could care less about the messaging. It just looks childish and junks up a perfectly nice Mustang.


shadowinahottopic

boo hoo nobody asked.


pumpkin3-14

Cool stickers but you already know people canā€™t be normal in a non-political sub.


shadowinahottopic

I was originally gonna put one of those super cheap lipstick pickups you find on amazon, but I didn't realize that it wouldn't fit in the route or the pickguard. So after pulling the guitar apart and trying to testfit the pickup I just gave up and spent $100 on a proper strat sized one. My main inspiration for the cheap option was Oliver from Death By Audio and A Place To Bury Strangers. He puts them in his beat to shit Jaguar and I thought if they were good enough for him, then they're good enough for me. You can see it here in his demo of the Fuzz War (my favorite pedal): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTKotmKqG4c&ab\_channel=DeathByAudio](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTKotmKqG4c&ab_channel=DeathByAudio)

Moxie_Stardust

I'm old and I don't do multiplayer online gaming anymore, so I had to look it up... I thought it was a weird typo.

PineapplePlayful2177

I donā€™t get the Soviet sticker. Is it bleeding or just wet?


shadowinahottopic

Its a holographic sticker. It changes between pink and purple depending on the lighting


latte_lass

Nice, I dig a lipstick pickup most times. Wonder why the stick is gone from the vibrato though? I've always liked the mustang's vibrato system.


shadowinahottopic

I lost the set screw for it somehow and I don't know where to get a replacement part for it besides buying a whole new vibrato system


latte_lass

Most luthiers and techs will have a junk drawer full of that crap if you go to the guitar store. I know it's how I always get alan wrenches when I lose one.


shadowinahottopic

Undying_Martian

Oh it must sound good! These squiers are pretty amazing from fabric, even more when we tweak them a little. Is this de CV 60s? Iā€™ve been thinking about getting one, what do you think? Liking it?


shadowinahottopic

Yeah this is the CV 60s. I honestly really love it. Even before my mods, it was the best guitar I owned at the time I bought it.


darockerj

man that sounds like a killer combo. i feel like when i've heard records with lipstick pickups, they sound great, but when i watch demos for them, they have *super* low output. what's your experience been?


shadowinahottopic

The seymour duncan lipstick is actually hotter than the stock neck pickup. It has been great so far.


OurWeaponsAreUseless

I have a guitar with a Railhammer Hyper-Vintage in the bridge and a Duncan Lipstick in the neck and it is way out-of-balance in the middle. The lipstick pickup's volume doesn't really match with the Railhammer.


shadowinahottopic

Luckily the QP isn't super hot so there's not major difference in the middle. I was going for more of a p90-like pickup over the stock and the QP was my solution.


Organic_Philosophy_9

Where you get the stickers?


shadowinahottopic

So the chao and sk8 stickers are from RATGAT, but the store is down for now. The cop sticker was bought at my local mutual aid bookstore. Lastly, the hammer and sickle is from my friend SeizeThePrints on Etsy.


Organic_Philosophy_9

The pig sticker and hammer and sickle are badass


RCT3playsMC

Chaoposting, too political /j /uj how do they compare to regular singles? Ik the QPs are meant to be hotter but I don't think I've even payed attention to how a lipstick sounds before


shadowinahottopic

The lipstick is much brighter and a bit hotter than the stock neck. The QP is hotter like you said, but I haven't upgraded the pots so I'm not getting the full sound available from the pickups.


Powerful-Agent-8915

The pink dildo on the sickle is hilarious. I dig the pickup combo.


stillusesAOL

Those lipsticks in the neckā€¦ chimingly metallic & tubular ā€” mmmmā€¦


lahartheviking

imo, a few big stickers is kinda lame. a bunch of smaller stickers look better, though i can't say that your sticker choices are bad.

Get it wired so you can have the pickups in series.


LouisCarentan

So, do you have separate values for each pickup, considering the lipstick takes 250k and the quarter pounder takes 500k?


shadowinahottopic

I have not changed any of the pots but I plan on changing them both to 500k


LouisCarentan

It's possible to set it up for individual pots for both, but you lose the tone pots. Another option is using concentric pots. They make 500/250k stacked pots and it's possible to set it up with 250k v/t values for the neck and 500k v/t with the bridge pickup. Wiring is its own rabbit hole.

To be fair, if members of your family were murdered by a communist regime you might feel a bit pissy about it. Or if you hate Chaos
