Male Sensitivity towards Gear

[Mailman1971]

I have a hound... his name is Oliver. In the evening, Oliver and I sit by the roaring fire. He sits at my feet while I read the London Financial times whilst wearing my smoking jacket.

Wow......how long did it take Oliver to learn to wear your smoking jacket?

Sounds like a very nice evening.

mmmmm yesssss... it does make for a rather lovely evening...
Where do you think I should put my Diezel?
Here's a pic of my room

Very very nice sir.
But where is dear old Oliver? Must be eating his rack of lamb.

the Swiffer Wet Jet of amplification

Swiffer Wet Jets are good for the price. But they have weird mids.

But I hear that can be fixed with some modding.

De-weird the mids! Which modder should it go to? Can it look stock on the outside?

I don't want a ton of switches and brother p-touch labels.

My Neighbor Jose Gomez.....

he mods things. Lawnmowers.....Snowblowers.....
I think he can give the Swiffer Wet jet a Jose Mod.

If anyone else, makes fun of my road worn Fenders, I'll cry.

I don't like them... I didn't make them road-worn from years of gigging in my basement therefore they're for poseurs.

I know you joke.
I take very good care of them to not allow anymore dents or wear. Fender did a perfect job aging the guitars with old looking marks, but any more marks would be 'new' marks and they would not be authentic and would hurt the resale value and my cherished love for them.

He's off in the kitchen... keeping an eye on the help. Making sure they don't steal from me.

I actually think reliced guitars look great. God knows I'll never relic them since I'm a basement-dwelling hack... LOL!

Good help is hard to find. You should count all the grapes before going to bed. They are easy targets of food theft.

I think it's quite comical when someone sells a reliced guitar and says it is mint. I mean, how are you supposed to know?

"It's mint except for that one chip right there" (circles small chip on an otherwise beaten up guitar)

i look at it this way--liking what i have is exclusively my trip.

i video demo what i have instead of verbally demo/explain because i don't want to get into an argument about what something sounds like when i can demonstrate audibly what it sounds like and show you how i approach it.. and even then people complain they can't hear the amp i'm playing..too much effects...or they bought the amp but can't get the sound i'm getting. and many people would rather type about their pile of amps then let you hear them play because.....well....they can't play. but they can sure buy the heck out of those 2-5k amps skillfully, those wallet monsters.

doug roccaforte had a great signature for a while about cork sniffy articulating about subtle lingerings and a smokey finish...classic! but he was pointing out the nerds who pull out their 40k dumble, sit by the fire in their smoking jacket with a snifter of brandy, and pluck one note, nodding wistfully at the sound. then turn off the amp to relish another day, feather dust their investment in case they have to flip it, and type all night on a forum about their "experience".

many guys would rather join a particular amp owner's club so they can discuss it rather than enjoy the amp and do the amp/maker justice by playing it well.

Have you counted the grapes on the counter yet?
You know Miss Lucy is prone to sneaking a few when old Oliver isnt watching.

I don't even wanna know where you got that chapstick print ad..lol

Oddly enough, google images. It was on the first page. So... uhm yeah...

 

[shreder75]

hmmmmmmmm..ok..let's leave it at that =D

 

[SFW]

Well, if you look at my sig, you will notice that my gear is plain jane stuff. I don't really care what others think about the logos on my gear. What I can tell you is that I have never playing a gig that someone didn't come up to me afterward and tell me that they loved my tone. In fact, I was once told be a well known Houstonian- in a well known band- that he thought I had the best hard rock tone in Houston. I was extremely flattered. So I take all the gear ribbing in stride.

Excellent Good fellow.....if she behaves....maybe you can offer her a grape on Christmas day.
You can never be too kind to the help.
I am sure Oliver will approve as well.
