Nah, I don't think so. It's a very obvious idea, especially if you look at Dingwall Z1 and Z2 that already existed and were selling well (I don't remember if Z3 was even a thing at the time). Also, I did this to get closer to a MM sound, while NG-2 is a whole different beast. Sheldon Dingwall...

I like the 'flat dark' theme but I wish fonts were be a bit smaller. It looks zoomed in on a desktop. I like where it is going but I'm reverting to 'dark' for now.

Windows will destroy your partitions unless you tell it not to, but you can tell it not to. My partitions were as they were before, except for the bootloader. I reinstalled grub off a live cd. No need to do a full system restore. In my case, when Windows 10 booted up after the upgrade it said...

My Windows 10 upgrade killed my bootloader. So no, it didn't leave things where they were.

Thanks guys! It looks like I'll be going to somewhere around Mountain View instead. Looking forward to it! @slobake you can count on a coffee some day. I'll be coming up to the city periodically.

Thanks for chipping in, guys :) I think that not being able to bike between east bay and the city is a no-go for me. I can take the bike on bart but that just wouldn't be it. I guess I'm going to explore south - Dali City and whatnot. By the way, $2200 for a two bedroom doesn't seem that bad...

Oh I know he'll chip in :D Rent is important but not too important. I'd pay to get what I want. I don't need a big place, a small one bedroom apartment or condo would be perfect. I am not looking for nightlife or going out opportunities. I am looking for a reliable night's sleep. In that...

Hey, I got a job with A Big Software Company (yay!) and will be moving to the bay this fall. I was offered a job in the Mountain View/Palo Alto area. However, they reached out to me about some project I'd be a great fit for, but on their SF city campus. I'll learn about the project soon and...

I don't remember ever seeing an AB-II without a magnetic battery cover. I remember early AB-IIs not being chambered. I think they started chambering around 2006? I could be wrong.

That's alright, I was just trying to help. I've never seen you play, but without going into how you play you described what sounds like a technique issue. I also play fingerstyle, as most of us here, but nobody reported this problem as far as I remember.

The height of the nut does not matter if you're fretting the neck. I own two Dingwalls, a Combustion and an AB-II, both with perfect B strings. I'd suggest technique. All it takes is for you to attack the strings towards the body a bit more than usual and the B string will stand out in terms of...

That guitar doesn't seem that massive.

Ah, good to know. I don't use FB myself.

People believe bad things for bad reasons; which implies that there are reasons to believe bad things. "Ignorance" is always justified in some way, and dismissing it as you are dismissing it is exactly what Hrod wants to avoid. Ignorance should be understood and examined in order to be avoided...

What's going on with Fullie these days? Anyone in touch with him?
