I was thinking it just meant higher emissions till it settled but it sounds like they'll lock down vehicles if it's not present. My diesel doesn't use it so I dunno. Maybe someone can make something harmless to replace it with.

Today I went out and got a small stockpile of n95(p2) masks and I suggest everyone else do the same. Especially since AZ seems to be by far the least effective against omicron.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:How hosed is the AdBlue/urea situation? Did you know that 1 in 3 of us will need urea in our lifetime but only 1 in 30 people donate? And that every donation can treat up to 3 tanks full of diesel! In Australia, a new donor is needed every 5 minutes. If you’ve never donated urea before, or have not donated for a while, now’s the time to do it.

Yeah the vehicles are programmed to either not run at all or go into limp mode when there's no def. There will be ways to gently caress around and make them work properly without it but it comes with the possibility of massive fines. Plus it's not the type of thing any rando can just do, you'll need to know what you're doing. ili fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Dec 9, 2021 |

Hope everyone's got they washing in, another cell heading to Syd. Spent the arvo doing pickup experiments on the cheap Warwick I bought a while back. Fitted a vintage bassbucker in, was much louder than the MEC it came with (This model is renown for being quiet), but the tone was a bit meh and clunky. Then, for the gently caress of it, I took it out and threw in a vintage Aria MB3 pickup. Which sounds AWESOME. But one of the coils isn't firing, so the two thick strings sound amazing and the two light strings barely get through. So much disappointment in that. So much. *cracks beer

Laserface posted:Warwicks have always been quite nice erognomics wise but totally do not suit the aesthetic or tone I am after in my basses. Also LOL at the price of real warwicks. This one is the cheapest german built one out there, precursor to the Rockbass range, so it's bolt-on and has a hi-mass bridge instead of the two-piece. But has a real nice ovangkol neck and the stain on the Carolena body is sweet. The pickup is pissweak tho, but TalkBass constantly suggests putting a 2-band preamp in, which I have (If I can fix it). If I still don't like it, I can probably make my money back on it. Still bummed as gently caress that the Aria pickup didn't work, it would have been awesome.

I had the kacky handed rockbass equiv of that with jazz Active pickups in it. Was a good off the shelf lefty I didn't have to wait for but yeah wasn't much more to it than that. Had the nice bridge your one has on it but pretty sure it was fairly ordinary wood, not nice stuff like the Warwick range. Sold it to the bassist in Poisonus, the poison cover act. He had a fleet of them as they're great workhorses and again, an easy choice for leftys that need an affordable guitar that isn't a waiting list. My mate has a 5 string Warwick Thumb and it's bloody lovely in terms of build quality and materials. I'm searching for a cheapish guitar for home use, nothing much local though.
