it took a friends intervention to pull me out of it early. I had friends that would take a 1/4 oz in a mason jar over a gas stove. It would come out like a golf ball. Sometimes, it's really not a good idea to become good friends with the "cool guy" that everyone likes in HS, lol.

wait, is there "lore" that they were doing something during their albums? I might need to look up some old friends! :LOL:

:LOL: too true. As I'm getting older though, if I could play eights and sound the same, I think I would try it. Even 9's for me personally, is walking a tightrope. Too many years of landscaping and painting, I wanna choke that fretboard by instinct. :(

I don't even know what to tell my teenagers that are entering the job market. The trades will be gone at some point, and advisors are already telling kids IT is a dead end. What is left, law enforcement and politicians? Even law enforcement is going to go away. Medicine is already being...

it's scary. I work in a very niche tech sector, with student transportation. It's already scary what it can do. I'm an analyst, and I use it all the time to write code for me... Proprietary code, where I tell it what's different. Once the queries don't even have to be human, my job is gone. :(

Hmm, I didn't consider the amp. Isn't the DSL generally regarded well, disregarding playability?

they aren't being persecuted for their skin color by their own government. Your racist argument fails.

I am too hamfisted for 8's. My strings increase in gauge depending what tuning I'm using on that guitar. Beato makes an interesting argument for standard though.

I'm done trying to sell stuff these days. I rather sit on it or give it away. I'll only order from reputable shops that have a healthy return policy, friends I know personally, or people that have been vouched for by someone I know personally.

I've tried too many times to match sounds based on a pup I Ioved in one guitar, when there were different woods and shapes involved. I haven't found one pickup that works in every guitar for me personally. These days, I have to hear it first, and determine what I want based on what's already in...

does a studio apartment count, with no record? :scared:

don't worry, once AI takes all the jobs, they'll have to find some way to keep us pleebs happy. The guitar market should pickup when people only have hobbies. :p

I don't think wood cares where it's from, but the care with finishing the instrument seems to vary. I've had good luck with MIJ and US stuff, there seems to be some extra QC there. I've played some really nice Mexican and Korean as well, but I would say the materials made more of a difference...

True, never look a gift horse in the mouth. ;)

eeew. I don't get the fetish with feet. You should just be straight up with him, you won't date him. :bleh:

Anyone have suggestions for good eBay or Reverb sellers with NOS tubes? ie. GE, Siemens, Mullard, RFT, etc... ?

unpopular opinion. To actually find the real gems, you have to go to shops, and actually play the guitars. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot. That goes for all product lines. Wood doesn't care about the branding.

While you have it apart, check all the screws. I bought a couple older ones, and they both had finger tight or loose bolts on the speakers, and the baffles had loose screws on both. It seemed to make a positive difference just shoring everything up, and replacing the cheap wiring/jacks IME.

ahh but is it all about you, or your audience now? 🤔 :LOL:

pretty badass tech, please clean that poor guitar. :LOL:
