Ugg, my Mom is in hospice on the 'natural' drug dementia. I don't want that for me. I just hope I can make the flight to Switzerland or wherever it is that you can go when you choose...and painless.
I use either Oxford or Stewmac nitro and the amount of work to go from just a quick polish to perfectly flat and glossy af is a shit ton of wet-sanding, polishing and buffing (and risking burning thru). I've done it only once on a full body (done a few headstocks) and it was an early job that...
Looks great! I’m waiting for the weather to clear coat a body. It will be months. I would prob have all sorts of fog if I did it now.
And you have a much better setup for spraying. I hang mine from a string loop from the garage door opener. Fan at garage door to pull out fumes. I have a mask tho.
TBH I suspected as much and I wasn’t even looking for an explanation but after watching one of the videos posted itt that video popped up so I watched it and there it was.
She can paint my nails!
Yep, all of that was what I was getting at. If we can't agree on the Rosewood vs Mahogany acoustic guitars (otherwise made identical and lots of examples/samples not just two), which I know sound different and consistently so, then we can't even get to the solidbody discussion. It makes me doubt...
Then something is wrong with the measurements. The differences between Rosewood back and sides vs Mahogany in acoustic guitars are clear and consistent. If we can't even agree on that then we just can't proceed to electrics. We just disagree.
SRV didn’t hang it low, maybe medium. I think he raised it over the years.
Jimi hung it medium or medium high and so did EVH. Neither ever looked like a dork to me. Hanging it too low looks dorky to me. It has a ‘not-comfortable-in-my-own-skin’ vibe. Jimi and EVH appeared to hang it for playing...
The thing about all the scientific evidence is that it doesn’t agree with my ears/experience. I’m an engineer so I tend to trust the science more than some but my ears just keep pummeling my brain with a different answer.
Maybe it’s from playing acoustic guitars that are otherwise built...
You’re a fucking Robin Trower/Frank Marino clone with half the speed and not nearly as good or successful. Show me the Madison Square Garden CarlF performances.
:whistle:
I was hoping for a magical device to allow full float and flutter but no pitch drop when bending strings. So unison bends are just like a stoptail. And still feel great. Is that so much to ask?
Never understood that especially when you can get a good 70s cab with Green/Cream/Black backs for less.
I trust you on those ranges and agree and look at the bargain between a ‘74-‘80 cab vs some of the newer cabs. A ‘74 Creamback cab can sound killer. A ‘78 Blackback cab can sound way better...
Those are just the typical Piher carbon film in Marshalls even tho they are a similar color.
IMO $2500 is “yesterday’s” inflated price. Things aren’t moving much and the digital alternatives are making big amps less popular.
Did you check his mic placement and did you use your own mic? Sometimes sound men just grab the next mic and it’s a fubar mic.
Just trying to help avoid it. It does suck.
