I like how you haven't said one single thing in response to the fact that most of those 27 years were wasted on poo poo you didn't need for what you wanted. Like why would you do some circuit wizardry and waste your time for all your guitars when like a $50 pedal could prob do the exact same thing if not better without the work involved. You've done nothing but skirt around everything I and everyone else has said about the monetary cost and your horribly outdated view on musical equipment. That, and you can't even stick on one point, at first you said that this is all saving and spending on what you need for your music and you can't afford all the ritzy poo poo and flash of bands and you're making your meager dollar go as far as it can for your needs then you're saying poo poo like "Sorry if you can't understand being passionate about craftsmanship or a well-made authentic instrument with quality woods and appointments, but you can also eat me." which means nothing but "I like buying really nice instruments because they're really nice" which is a totally different point. Which is it, Faustus, which is it? Dewgy posted:you're adorable, you can seriously change gears from "gently caress you i found your two week setup fee in my couch bitch" to "i need to afford what i can its so hard" without batting an eye It's cute cause it's like he's trying to boast and then be humble but all it's doing is making him look like an insecure retard. You know, i'd love a Prophet 12, or a Moog voyager, but I realize that spending $4000 on one is a poor investment for what they can do, it's boutique, it's luxurious, but one thing it sure as hell isn't is frugal or blue collar. If you need all that stuff to make music then maybe you should drop the hobby. Guitars make a sound. They make one sound. They all make it kind of different, yeah, but it's still a string being plucked. You're throwing money at the wrong end of the equation. Do you know how the first heavier rock bands got their distorted sound? They used a lovely old speaker and kicked the cone in. They didn't spend thousands on trying to craft it from the instruments. "Distortion gained widespread popularity after guitarist Dave Davies of The Kinks used a razor blade to slash his speaker cones for their 1964 single "You Really Got Me".[27]" Wonder how much that cost.

Dr. Faustus posted:. Sorry if you can't understand being passionate about craftsmanship or a well-made authentic instrument with quality woods and appointments, but you can also eat me Yea because when I think of high quality woods I definitely think of basswood which is used in almost every low end guitar, pretty sure they used basswood in the vai jem to cut that stupid loving handle in the body. Edit: I'm not going to discuss how much I make as that's uncouth as gently caress, let's just say I can get more tonal possibilities with that money than Faust has in that whole collection.

Dr. Faustus posted:Because there is no pedal in existence that can "do the exact same thing if not better without the work involved." I shouldn't have to explain this, it's like speaking latin to a loving chimp. Ok really now, how about you explain how your magical $9 pots and a cord do what no pedal can. I'm interested, please do tell. And no, your guitars are all built on the same basic electronics, there's different styles of pickups and all that but pickups are pickups and well there's no other electronics in a guitar so nvm. I don't think you can say that your 10 or 12 or whatever guitars are so special and unique listening to clean signal that they're worth apparently what you do to get them. And holy god if you need to skimp on buying clothes because you want to afford a new guitar strap maybe you should either choose a cheaper strap or go for a hobby that doesn't leave you destitute. Also your view on musical equipment is outdated, I don't think a view on guitars can be besides idk "gently caress floating bridges" or "gently caress electrics" or something like that e: quote:and I augment them with home-modded switches to make drastic changes in gain structure, treble response, and attack and sustain. Ok sounds like an equalizer, an envelope generator, and idk just gain/overdrive for the structure. Xen Tricks fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Dec 28, 2013 |

Can we just go back to posting ugly guitars instead of flamebaiting some narcissistic sperglord in his 40s who's spent like 8 pages of a thread getting mad because some people think his guitars are fugly Sorry man, some people don't like Ibanez, or hospital ward green, or handle-shaped cutaways. Sorry other peoples' opinions make you so loving livid. Here's a mind-blower: every single picture in this thread is of a guitar that at least 1 person thought was cool-looking or a good idea. You're so loving gaga over Steve Vai, do you think he'd waste this much time arguing with people over whether or not vomit green is a good color for a guitar? Nobody's stalking you, they're just baiting you over and over and you're just such a loving retard that you can't see that, and so I predict this thread going another 10 pages of you responding individually to each comment in the thread, possibly while you masturbate by furiously shoving your dick through that ridiculous cutaway

I understand fully how they work, I know how circuits make sound, but I don't understand how you can't replicate/improve that with effects. It's like saying "Yeah I modified the oscillator and amp circuit to make sounds you can't possibly replicate" when you could just throw something in front of it in the circuit line and do the same. If you'd like to explain how your electrical magic works i'm sure we'd all be interested. Also I went back to look at your guitar collection picture and jesus lol I didn't realize how it looked. You have like 6 guitars that look the same, a handled abortion, two first-act looking acoustics, and I guess one alright looking one. Great line up for 27 years. drunk asian neighbor posted:
