When was the last time you stopped to stare in a guitar shop window or browse online and what were you looking at? I think it takes away the organic, living, breathing nature of a guitar.” You can basically install a pair of EMG active pickups into a cardboard box and get the same sound. I feel like they remove the character from any instrument. I’ll even name drop and say those EMG active pickups that metal guys use. I remember him pulling the pickups out and going, ‘Yep, these are real, you got a deal!’ And I just feel like that was not a smart move.”Īre there any common design features on electric guitars that are an instant turn-off for you when you’re auditioning potential new guitars? I don’t even play Les Pauls, and the Classics are, like, whatever. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I ended up trading this 335 with original PAFs – that sounded killer and looked beautiful – for a green ’98 Strat and a Les Paul Classic. “Years ago, I ended up trading a ’67 335 to a local guy. Have you ever sold a guitar that you now intensely regret letting go of? I don’t know if I was ultimately remorseful because I actually kinda liked that amp. I was banished to shaker for the rest of the gig. ![]() We unplugged it quickly and it was done, cooked. I was playing in this improvisational freakout jazz ensemble and it caught on fire, literally shot flames out the back – which was pretty cool during a gig. “I got one of the first Line 6 amps when they went from the bean to the amp. What’s the strongest case of ‘buyer’s remorse’ that you’ve ever had after buying a guitar or piece of gear? “I wrote the guy immediately: ‘I want that guitar.’ And he wrote me back saying, ‘I have about 100 messages and you were first!’ I didn’t have the money, even though it was such a good deal, so I just put the whole thing on a credit card. It had black knobs and had already been very beat-up – but was beautiful. ![]() I came across a ’62 slab ’board that is kinda strange it could be a refin, I can’t tell. “I really wanted a Jazzmaster, an old one, and I was waking up every day, going online, clickety-clacking in every dark corner for a deal. What’s the most incredible bargain you’ve had when buying guitars? I’m looking for something weird because you can get a wonderful guitar with character – and you’re gonna save so much money.” Personally, if I don’t have a ton of money and want something serious, I’m looking for a refin. If you’re looking for a player, don’t worry about finding the perfect guitar. “It depends if you’re buying for investment or playing. ![]() ![]() ![]() You might see shipping rates such as $5.00 Courier, $9 Courier - Rural Delivery. The amount varies depending on the courier company, but is around $3-$5 extra for Rural Delivery of small satchels and parcels. How much extra does Courier Rural Delivery cost vs std Courier delivery?Ī. If you have an account with a courier company, they may be able to provide you with a copy of their Transhipment Schedule that details what areas are covered.These areas change regularly too, so what is rural one day, may not be the next. You need to either phone or email each courier company with the full address and ask them. There is no one source (publicly available) that will tell you which couriers class an address as Rural Delivery. Is there anywhere I can find out what courier companies class what addresses as Rural Delivery?Ī. ![]() What is Rural for one company may not be for another company. Each Courier company has different standard coverage areas. Many addresses do not have R.D in them, but they are still Rural Delivery for all or some couriers. I don't have R.D in my address so does this mean I am not Rural Delivery?Ī. If your address when put in the NZ Post postcode finder search says your address is R.D, then you are usually Rural delivery for Couriers, but each courier company has their own boundaries so you need to check with each individual courier company. RURAL DELIVERY for couriers does not always mean your address has R.D in the address, as different COURIERS HAVE DIFFERENT RURAL DELIVERY BOUNDRIES.Ī. Anything 1.5kg and over, MUST go Tracked and incur an RD fee.ĪLL Couriers - CHARGE EXTRA to deliver to Rural Delivery areas, although Pass The Parcel (a division of Poste Haste) are currently advertising no extra for RD. Untracked Parcelpost can ONLY be used for items less than 1.5kg in weight. Their untracked Parcelpost service DOES NOT require an extra RD fee/ticket. NZ Post at the same time as announcing price increases, have added a fee for RD deliveries using their Tracked service ONLY. ** NZ POST Change as at 1st March 2012 ** From 1st March NZ Post charge a rural fee for all Tracked items.

I therefore find that results from the above procedure are roughly equivalent to what I would get by doing a 'straight' conversion using a better demosaicing and sharpening engine (I've been using Rawtherapee). Having said that, I personally find that a fair bit of detail and acutance is lost early on, as a result of Adobe's demosaicing engine being less than optimal in terms of detail interpretation. The idea of having AI-invented details in my images fills me with horror, as I'm sure it does many photographers, but used in this way, it doesn't feel much different to any other post-processing technique. So I'm essentially thinking about it as a sophisticated sharpening tool, and viewed as such, it works pretty well. However, if I resample the result down to the original size, stack it above the straight conversion and set the transparency to around 50%, the artifice is hidden sufficiently, whilst leaving some improvement to the apparent acutance of details over standard sharpening techniques. Generally, I find that its 'naked' output is not acceptable 'as is' - just too many artificial-looking details and textures. I've been doing quite a bit of raw conversion recently, and being trying out Adobe super res as I go along. It's good for hard edges and suchlike, and makes up stuff in the small details that I didn't like much. This is consistent with what I saw in other pictures. You find that it invents contrasty little things in the roof tiles that weren't there whereas when you look at those vases or the white streaks on the chimney, not much is gained vs conventional upscaling. What you gain with the stacking method is not so much in resolution but in reducing artifacts (oh I cut off the part with the moiré, but yo can see a hint of this around the cables).ĪCR superres looks impressive - way better than conventional upscaling - until you compare it with the picture from the 85mm lens, or what I would call Reality as opposed to The World Invented By An Algorithm. When you look at the comparison at 100% or more, you'll notice: I ran the raw file from a) through Camera Raw's new superresolution feature (which took ages) and, again, scaled it down to fit the picture taken with the 85mm lens (85%)Īnd finally took a picture with the 85mm lens (Z-Nikkor at f:5,6 - I didn't compensate for the diminishing dof but that hardly matters here) and did not resize. I took another 16 pictures and combined them into a superresolution file according to, then scaled it down to fit the picture taken with the 85mm lens. ![]() I took a picture with the 50mm lens (Nikon Z7, 50mm 1,8 S Nikkor at f:5,6, you see a crop from the center), upscaled it to 170% (so that the crop had as many pixels as the same crop when taken with the 85mm lens), applied unsharp mask etc - that's about as good as it gets, conventionally. I wanted to know whether theses pixels are any good and, on a slow business day, did this: Adobe claims that this doubles linear resolution, or gives you four times the pixels. So I tried this new feature in ACR, machine-learning based superresolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() I will say though that I did find the featured characters to be interesting at least, except for the protagonist, because he's very bland and his dialogue is monotone as hell. It felt intentionally left open for a sequel or DLC, which is lame. I began to feel like it was rushing towards its conclusion and the ending was pretty abrupt and unsatisfying. However, the plot started to get muddy in the middle of the game. I was really into the themes that were tackled and I loved the worldbuilding. The story has a very engaging and interesting start, especially as someone who has only played Mercenaries before. This game starts off strong but fizzles out and ends pretty poorly. But if it's ever 5 bucks and you just want to shoot some stuff, iz shiny & nice, and well-optimized considering how pretty it is ten years later.Ĩh 21m PlayedI only played the single-player campaign because I don't give a shit about multiplayer so this review is for the campaign only. ![]() At that price (which I assume is due to the posterity of its launch-title status), it's not worth it.

Context menus had slightly-rounded corners and numerous icons were redesigned, including folder icons and System Preferences icons. The Dock's design, when placed on the left or right side, changed to a black translucent background with a white border and rounded corners. Aqua windows and "brushed metal" windows obtained the same metal-like, gray look, pin-striped backgrounds were removed entirely, toolbars and titlebars were fused into a whole, differences between active and inactive windows became more distinct through thicker drop shadows and a monochrome appearance of inactive windows, the color of the menubar was changed into gray with an optional semi-transparency look on capable Macs and the Dock obtained a 3D look with a reflective glass-like 'floor'. Mac OS X Leopard brought wide-ranging changes to Aqua.

Tabs also changed they were made flatter and the whole tab area was sunken rather than raised. The traditional pinstripes were replaced with a much subtler theme, most notably in the menu bar, and the use of transparency was again reduced (for example in the title bars of inactive windows).
