It’s not even a good-looking version of the PRS shape. Like all bad versions it looks sorta melted.

It's too big and awkwardly shaped, like somebody had to stop and adjust their cutting angle halfway through. It reminds me a lot of when a dude takes a hacksaw to their Strat for "improved upper register access" and ends up with something that looks like one of those 60s Italian knockoffs.

Then get sold for a ridiculous amount of money and live in a display case. And yeah, wasn't a fan even before I realized he had no plans for a bridge pickup and rage-quit the whole series

Snowy posted:I saw Dropdead the other day for the first time in over 25 years and their guitarist was strumming up on the neck Strumming on different points of the strings is a great way to get different tones quick and easy in a clean rhythm line. The mostly rhythm guitarist from Los Straightjackets strums around the 12th fret on a few songs to let the lead take the bulk of the harmonic overtones and fit better in the mix.

Yeah, adjusting your picking location to affect your tone is a vital but often overlooked skill. It's one of those little things that can push you from a great guitarist to an amazing one. If you watch Eric Johnson live, he's constantly making little adjustments to his picking location to get different tones in the same phrase. Greg Koch is a master of this as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr8BPUcUZlE

I think the guy from Dropdead was playing up high pretty much the whole time. I guess it’s worth it if you get to keep your guitar real low like a badass Also Blow the Scene is a pretty funny site name. Sounds like a lot of work.

For sure changing picking location is super fun for getting a formant-like change in tone.

I wonder how ol' Wamps feels about signature artist Brent Mason being on best-selling crossover hit Come on Over by Shania Twain. (I mean, among a zillion other country-pop records.)

Oh gently caress country pop and Keith Unban with his Bryan Adams cover act. It's just a hole down which boutique pedals, tweed amps and $3000 telecasters are thrown

Haven’t kept up with their output the last 10+ years but even “alt-country” started to feel like quite a stretch in the mid-late aughts. Just like mellow NPR indie-dad music.

Hey everyone, it's holiday coupon season at music stores! I'm in the market for a CV Bass VI, so let's see what Guitar Center's coupon looks like. 15% off everything? Wow, that's a nice deal! Oh wait, there's some fine print here. Let's see... Guitar Center email posted:
Oh. Well then.

The email I got said with that coupon said "As a guitarist, you'll want to complete your setup with a high-quality amp, boutique pedal or multi-effects processor. We hope this coupon helps you round out your rig."  Might be of use if you're a drummer or know one; notice Pearl, Ludwig, Zildjian, Sabian etc. are missing from that list.

Haha, that reminds me of the two 6505 combos I ordered from GC that both arrived broken (first one lead channel didnt work, second one had the amp itself broken off from the combo). They tossed a $100 gift card my way for the trouble, which had a similar list of exceptions. Considering there was virtually nothing worthwhile I could get with the gift card, I ended up grabbing a pair of Denon DJ headphones... which turned out to be pretty crappy (awful cable, uncomfortable, lacking sound/volume compared to like everything else in the price range).
