The flat capped loopers are a lot of fun, nice to have something different
AllYoYo 720s tonight. Iād been playing Loop Ups the past few days and thing I prefer the spacer adjusted gap of the 720. The Loop Up is just a bit hard to dial in and if you donāt tighten it right it might loosen and mess up your gap.
I just worked my last day in 2023. The next few days while the kids are still in school is the real vacation.
Happy Tuesday! Iām playing the Something LP today. One was grinding a bit so I cleaned and lubed both bearings. Playing smooth bow. Maybe a bit slow.
Happy 2024! I finally found my spare 720 axle, and so after harvesting the axle from a SnapBack (seen here enviously looking on and pondering its new existence as a SpinStar) I was able to install a fresh Sunrise kit and have bearinged Happy Holidays throws from YYF.
Edit: maybe itās just that I havenāt cleaned, lubed, and restrung any of my loopers in a while and this one is all minty fresh, but these things absolutely rip. Super fun with the Sunrise kit.
Itās restringing day! For one reason or another Iāve been unable to restring my loopers for about a month (I usually restring every other time I play a pair). Iāve unfortunately run out of Sochi Loop string so Iām going to have to knot and cut strings down myself
Iām restringing with a Rewind looping blend sent to me by @TommyBwell in orange and Kitty Normal in white.
Nice storage box!
Thanks! A mail order whiskey tasting came in it from back at the beginning of the pandemic when work was trying to make being remote fun
This is an awesome setup! I typically use Kitty Normal on mine.
Those look great and I know they play very well. And an excellent song along with simple man. Always play one or both when jamming with drummer across the street.
Well I finally have my 720 collection fully rounded out with the addition of a few new pairs during Christmas. Iām honestly baffled as to how the new ones to the left (excluding the LEDāS) play with ZERO lube. Just a bearing cleaning and wow do they respond great and spin a long time. It really must come down to the difference in spacer tolerance. Never understood until today how some guys donāt lube them at all.
The LEDās play heavy, but are a lot of funā¦ was going to try to upload a video but it doesnāt appear to be an option outside of recording one liveā¦ anyone know if thereās a workaround to that?
You can upload to YouTube, insta, or Imgur and it will embed here if you put the link on a line by itself.
Oh, maybe discord too?
Little fountain and some looping with the new LEDāsā¦ bout the best a gigantic dude can do in a small room with low ceilings. These things are a ton of fun!
Thats amazing Connor!!
And rewind, and unwind, and rewind, and unwind, andā¦ā¦ā¦
