Episode 88: S/D thread - No Hope
- Thread starter CL400Peavey
- Start date
Are they refusing to move it to customer pickup? I MIGHT be able to make something happen for you if they are.
So I was told this morning I'm getting laid off the beginning of April.. might be spending more time with you goons this spring!
Thanks, I have always been partial to natural finishes so when I learned about tru oil I have to get it a try. If you mean Postlang on Ebay he was awesome to work with, he even dyed the neck for me, some concoction he whips up to yellow the neck. Putting it on the Peavey might be tricky, the square heal stuff has different specs than the usual Fender stuff plus Peavey has different specs than Fender specs. If you need any measurements from my neck just let me know.
Feel better!!! I have been so flustered lately now that I had that sinus surgery and still having sinus pressure triggered daily migraines. I stumbled on this site about states ranked by amounts of barometric pressure changes I am thinking hard of selling my house, and finding a job in Florida(lived hteir for four years in the late 90s), and getting the hell out of the If you don't like the weather just wait two days state. Should be the the FN weather changes so often your head feels like it is in vice and your eyes are about to pop out of your head state. Rant rant rant.

That sucks man. I always feared that with my old company. That's why I got a job at the state.
so the lady that spoke no english on the fedex line told me my package was stuck on a truck and wouldnt be available until monday and there was nothing i could do.
the lady that spoke clear english on the fedex line is having my package held starting at 5pm today and told me i am glad to pick it up whenever is convenient for me.
*fights back urge to slam foreign people on help desk numbers that dont know *****
SCREW THAT! DAMN YOU PAKISTAN!

I've gone through something similar before. The trucks don't return until late so they have to wait until 7-ish to confirm they have your package. I just flagged down a UPS driver and thankfully he new who had my route and called him to get his location. Then I drove over to meet him. I don't remember what it was but it was ultra important for work so I made it my mission to track it down.
All the packages I've had incoming or outgoing lately have been f*cking with me on the tracking. Paying for expedited shipping with before noon arrival, saying it was left at the door at 10:30am (when no one ever showed up), then showing up 4 hours later after I filed a claim. Showing tracking as being due in a few days, then showing up an hour later. It can be for the best or the worst, never know. I've just become a fatalist when it comes to shipping companies now. I'm at the mercy of the angry gods of delivery, their will be done.
Yeah dude I hate overseas call centers.... its fukkin stupid....
I don't have the direct number, I just have an insider delivery driver that can make things happen
He works out of the Herndon Depot and delivers in the Sterling area so when ever I have something coming in I give him the tracking number and he intercepts it for me and holds it for me to pick up from him.As far as the 5pm pickup its because they are tracked for every movement, 5pm is when the truckis due back or due to stop by the pickup / drop off stop where you can pick it up. They will not make make special redeliveries, I've tried.

im getting it today, the funniest part was the spanish lady told me the package was being held, before i even gave her a tracking number. clearly just making **** up to get off the phone on a friday, i cant really blame her, but still, she sucked major ass.
Bummer.
Probably.
I'm mostly just hacking up gunk and feeling malaise-y. I'll survive.
In other news, I haven't heard back from Orange yet re: my follow up question to their EQ statement.
New cheap-ass toy for me:
It'll live in my bass case as an emergency back up. Hard to go wrong for $20.

That and there first answer is just fxcktarddded. Why would you not inform the customers how the EQ of their product works. I know to adjust by ear but I guess I have that audio system mentality start at flat and go from there even though that is for boost cut EQ's.
