Photex posted:fair enough it works , it may not be pretty but once I noticed the snake and realized those were stereo outs it made sense. I don't quite understand the love for the bbe though everyone says its like taking a pillow off your instrument i dunno, really, the bbe maximizers are ok, i have a bbe sm stomp box for my bass that... i dunno, it's like adding salt to fries. almost all that stuff i got was in trade for some favor i did... like welding a feeder or hauling something. i have an agreement with my significant other about money and gear - yeah, i can make my own patch cabled, but i can't make a new computer monitor - i need to make it self sustaining as possible. i play some open mics, and that's ok. but when it comes to gear, i just scrounge whatever - that snake came from a place going out of business and i grabbed it. i read about miccing the resonant heads on drums, and it was a nightmare getting the gates set right. i hit hard. this is just simple poo poo i started off with an a7 chord. it's not hard to play, just fun for me. i'm very happy being a farmer, and have no aspirations of doing anything besides making music that i am happy with. it's like amateur photography for me. i'm not trying to impress anyone, and probably couldn't if i wanted to. https://soundcloud.com/harryinrio/on-the-cusp if you want to hear me really embarrass myself, holy poo poo, my singing is as bad as my guitar playing

Then, subtract that number from the "times I've tried to steer the conversation back to myself." Maybe you could post some samples of your work? I hear you play guitar.

O, I'm SO SORRY, except that if you were smart enough to check the first two pages of this very stupid thread you'd see that my own guitars were the fodder for this thread and they were posted by people who had a grudge against me, and this was their invitation to me to come inhabit this thread like my home. So I obliged. Why not? It's gibbis. Ootrek posted:so you're using basic human psychology to act like a petty child. got it Get this: I'll stop posting about me when you all do.
