I think this is more for that time you're at a gig and realise you're missing the adapter.
That does make sense, although it would be weird to go to a gig and not have a 1/4" to RCA adapter but happen to have large-gauge copper wire.
They just leave that shit in the walls in almost every building
Proprietors generally don't care for big holes in their drywall.
Search for access panels such as water shutoff valves.
They're also assuming American houses because nowhere else exists.
I am? Is drywall a uniquely American thing and everywhere else has copper wires exposed? Because that's certainly not what I observed in my travels.
I've never seen drywall used anywhere in Europe, and of course Radio Shack and such are also only American.
Radio Shack doesn't exist, so it isn't American. And I've been in European houses that absolutely have gypsum on their walls, which is what drywall is made from.
Also, Radio Shack was an international company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RadioShack#International_operations Just not in Europe.
Maybe you think only Europe matters.
No, I'm just pointing out that using drywall as an argument is a bit silly and that RadioShack is a primarily American thing.
Did you see my link? It absolutely was not primarily an American thing. It just wasn't a European thing. So it does, in fact, sound like you think only what is in Europe matters.
I'll repeat to you once again that this isn't an argument and especially not about what matters or not, as I've never stated no other country matters. I've even lived in a country where "RadioShack" operated, but once again RadioShack as a name is American which is shown in your own link.
I haven't called you wrong or have said that one country matters more than the other, all I've said is that drywall is a silly argument in a case like this especially since it didn't have anything to do with the wall in the first place.
I do agree my first reply is a bit foul, but I've just been kind of sad about comments and posts that don't specify country.
It's a silly argument... Unless copper wire is behind drywall.
By the way, drywall is used in Europe, it's just called plasterboard.
I've never said it wasn't used in Europe, just that I haven't seen it. Where I'm from we quite literally just call it Gypsum, you need to read what I'm literally saying and not derive off of it.
Copper wire can be found in excess in a lot of access panels and such, like the other commenter said.
I see... so drywall is an American thing because they call it gypsum where you live and Radio Shack is an American thing because it wasn't in Europe. You're right, I was only talking about American things.
Drywall is an American thing because it is only popular there, in other countries it is reserved for certain cheaper constructions and quite rare.
Radio Shack as the name wasn't a thing in Europe, Tandy and others were.
Is this based on "what you have seen?"
Yes, we've already established that, according to you, "not a thing in Europe but a thing in other countries including America" makes something an "American thing."
You're missing a few keywords I used, like "primarily".
And no, it's not based on what I've seen.
That's true...
Might be an electrician.
Much easier to procure at a random hardware store than the adapter though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Exactly what I just said before I saw your comment. Who carries thick copper wire with them regularly?
Overnight? Do you deliver overminute?
... And you just happen to have a piece of like 12 or 14 AWG copper wire on hand?
… Do you not?
Nah, I only carry around 6 gauge wire in my pocket.
I thought it was TIG filler wire, which is copper plated
Which would make it even more odd for a musician to have lol
