I dunno, I was kinda wanting to buy it thinking it's a guitar stand cuz it's pretty as gently caress. But is it a guitar? Is it... both?

It has 2 nubs at the bottom and a u-shaped piece of rubber at the top. It's a stand you dorks.



Is dork a gendered insult? It derives from penis, apparently.

It's got those six tuning-machine-looking thingies at the top, so you never know. People are strange.

Anwyays, this was apparently crafted by Kevin Vanden Akker for a Fine Woodworking contest. He got third place. First and second went to loving boxes... Yes, it lost to loving boxes that look like any other rando box in every antique store ever.

It probably doesn't exist anymore since it probably got tossed into the fireplace after seeing what he lost to.

Woodworkers fetishize dovetail joints - it's like their tonewood. Much like bluesdads and their minor pentatonic scales, wooden boxes are a chance to justify their basement full of tools without doing anything interesting with them.

Agreed. Steve T even managed to become even more annoying when he started embracing endorsements. I still subscribe to his videos just to check in from time to time and see how far the rabbit hole goes, and there’s always a new low.

Yeah I don’t think he’s scummy or bad at business or deserves to fail or anything I just think his personality and dumb face stuff is obnoxious so I don’t bother giving him views. I can respect the hustle.

Does the YouTube algorithm really look at expressions? I thought people just made exaggerated faces to make the preview image look more exciting in some way. It would be weird if the algorithm actually counted intensity of expressions or faces per minute or whatever.

Either way I don’t mind watching Steve T making fun of tough guy guitar stuff once in a while :shrug:

Haha, that one suckered me in too. I was hoping for something a little more in depth than "they sound great and they're the standard so all engineers know how to deal with them" but I still made it through the whole thing.

that's basically it, but there's definitely a sorting thing going on for recommendations where the stupider faces in a particular category get pushed to the top

My first reaction to this guy was seeing a video pop up in my related videos list after looking at a bunch of bass guitar reviews titled "Why you SHOULDN'T buy a five string bass???" and between how loving dumb the title was and the expression in the thumbnail I knew he'd be a total write-off.

Nah it’s more like Leo got it extremely extremely extremely right with the p bass. There’s a lot you can do with the p bass sound but as a foundation you can’t beat it.

I actually liked Steve Terreberry's video from a year or so ago called "What if Dragonforce played for ...?". Everything else of his is poo poo though.

Scott's Bass Lessons has some good stuff, but holy poo poo he needs to learn how to be concise. It's tough watching his videos because of how much he rambles.

I also like playing Jazz basses more than P basses, but it's not as though I wouldn't use one.
