For all the silly music poo poo the other companies do Gibson is the one who does the most utterly stupid music poo poo. Like BC Rich makes a bunch of silly, gaudy, 80s as hell guitars but at least you don't need to make partner at the firm before you can buy one. Also I assume if an artist who has a signature deal with them says "don't chamber my signature model" they will, you know, not chamber the drat guitar.

That’s super hilarious to me because from everything I’ve heard Kelliher is like the nicest most easy going guy around. It’s baffling how they could gently caress up so hard.

The Bill Kelliher ESPs really are basically just Gibsons with ESP logos on them (they even made the BK-600 thicker than the typical Eclipse so it would have the traditional Les Paul body thickness.) It would've been no trouble at all for Gibson to give him exactly what he wanted but apparently they just couldn't be bothered. I looked hard at the BK-600 before buying my EC-1000 but I decided I didn't want the extra weight.

Stupid Music poo poo: Your guitar that needed routing done to fit a pickup just had that done, still needs to be wired. Original invoice date January 2016.

Weird BIAS posted:Stupid Music poo poo: Your guitar that needed routing done to fit a pickup just had that done, still needs to be wired. Original invoice date January 2016. So I'm confused. Did somebody else hold your guitar hostage for the last two years just not doing anything with it? Also how much are you going to charge them in leasing fees? Or did I misunderstand and you have been sitting on a pickup-less guitar for two years?

What kind of amp casters do I gotta buy for maximum tone?

None, the bottom should be entirely made of surgical grade stainless steel polished to micron consistency for maximum contact with the ground, improving earth shaking and therefore overall tone.

No copper. Still polished. Make sure your chassis ground is the one true ground to eliminate distortions caused by the incoming power.

It was a trick question. I just wanted to see who the real tonesmiths are in this thread. You are correct that no self respecting tonesmith would ever use casters, but you forgot to add in the part where the bottom of the amp must be put on a series of “tone springs” and then bolted down to the floor with special “tone bolts” to get a natural speaker response and maximum tonez. Praise Bonamassa.

My guitar tech has been holding onto my guitar that doesn't have any pickups installed in it for two years doing the work slowly. He did previous work for me on the cheap but reasonable time because we worked together. Literally all he needed to do was rout the body a little deeper and install the pickups (it's one of those little thunder pickups so it was too deep to fit in the neck slot). And if I wasn't trying to keep on good terms with him and the store he works with I'd have just taken the guitar back. Part of the stupid in this music poo poo is me putting up with it and not just stealing the loving thing back.

If he's taking 2 years to do a half hour job it doesn't really sound like he's someone you need to keep on good terms with anymore.

Schpyder posted:lol just lol if you don't carry a six foot aluminum stake hardwired into your amp's ground and hammer it into the earth wherever you play Jokes aside, Neil Young mounts his spring reverb on a stand drilled through the stage and bolted to the concrete floor of the arena, which is pretty committed. I used to play with a crazy-rear end drummer who used to like getting a rise out of sound men and venue owners by carrying a battered block of 2x4 around with his rig. He'd set the kit up, then spend ages conspicuously positioning the block in front of the kick and making tiny adjustments; once he was sure everyone was watching he would pull out a hammer and a bag of nails and start whaling away pretending to nail it into the stage. He was many things (including an utterly terrible drummer who routinely forgot entire songs we had been playing for months) but dull was not in his repertoire.

Concatenation posted:hmm triggering the sound guy before even soundchecking the kit, sounds smart and good He was neither of those things, but honestly we probably sounded like hot garbage even when the sound guy was on our side. At the time we were practicing in a squat complex and sharing a room with a crustpunk band who believed firmly in the communal sharing of all equipment despite not owning any, so all our poo poo was constantly being wrecked - we'd regularly turn up and find out they'd used our gear at a show the night before and then left it at the venue because they couldn't afford a taxi back. Fun times and I miss them (but not so much I want to go back). Somebody start a PYF band stories thread.

My father is an accordion player (as the old joke goes: "Is your father musical too?"

I believe they class it as child abuse these days, but they were different times.
