Continuity Testing

Post by JMPGuitars »

As you should all know, continuity testing is an essential test for any electronics workbench. I believe I have created the best version ever known. Check it out:




As always, stay safe and don't test continuity with an amp powered on (unplug it!).

Thanks,
Josh

Thanks. 😉

Seems a bagpiper had a similar thought:

Lol! At least she stays pretty much in tune. Slash is horrible live and it makes me wonder whether Izzy isn’t the one who did the studio tracks while Slash is hung over in the back😉

The wannabe Icon with a hat:

the real icon with a hat (jump to 3:28min):

OR!!! They obviously took genetic material from Hendrix and SRV to create this icon, also wearing a...hat:

The audio on that Slash video is ruined on purpose. Here's Slash with Miles playing that song for real:




I think it's funny that Slash hated that song, and wrote that intro to try and ruin it.

Prince was the best tho.

Might be.. but I recently was looking for a good live video of November Rain and it’s hard to find one where Slash doesn’t fk things up. I was very surprised since I thought he was a kickA$$ player. I like his signature pickups a lot though.
I was even more surprised Axel can really play the piano very well😎

I'm sure there are plenty of terrible videos, that one is fake though. It's like it was faked in the early days of making fun of music videos. Like this:

Certainly better than he could ever sing. 😉
