That’s super cool! I’ve started to really experience that when doing leads over jams - I find myself not looking at the fretboard and just whipping my hand around, and 50% of the time I end up on a note I wouldn’t have thought to pick, which then ends up as a new pattern starting point. But the moment I think about what I’m doing, I’ll make a very obvious mistake and sit there like an idiot, not knowing wtf. Looks like I need to just keep on doing it to buff up my improv brain!

My friend said that he is cool at least. A lot of his interests lie in making people who have hearing loss be able to perceive and enjoy music. So they've been doing stuff like using MRIs to determine exact electrode depth placement.

Yeah it was one of his postdocs or PhD students who I spoke to most of the time. He dropped by and said hi but I didn't talk with him much. My stuff for today is passive noise exposure causing neural reorganization in old mice. I'm also going to be doing more of this passive exposure stuff but I don't think my PI will let me do something like hook up the signal generator to my HM2 rig and see what harsh noise does to brains.

This post inspired me to pull my ~15 year old SX jazz bass out of the closet and run it through my a VST. Not a bad instrument for $170 or whatever I paid for it.

A page late for GWARbar discussion but I used to live in Richmond and can confirm that it's a surprisingly excellent restaurant. They have chicken nuggets stuffed with duck confit and mozzarella with GWARbq sauce for dipping. Can't beat it.

Personally my tip is that if one of you is an incredible snorer and there aren't enough single rooms the obvious remedy is nightly roulette for who gets the short straw, BUT also consider the non-snorers just sleeping three to a double instead... What you lose in personal space you absolutely gain in decent rest. If that fails and you can't hack it any more then just kill the snorer in their sleep.

They're SXs though, all 8 of them together maybe add up to the price of an American Fender.

one night on a tour we got almost no sleep because one of the guys from the other band on tour with us had the most insane inhuman snore weve ever heard. all 8 of us were crammed into a friends living room and every time we were about to nod off hed let out some crazy rear end snore and wed all start laughing hysterically. this went on for like 2 hours.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:Unless each of your guitars clearly covers different sonic ground I can’t help but think less of you*. I don’t care how much you love Telecasters. The entirety of my collection is an ugly mim strat from a pawnshop, a gorgeous mim p-bass that is a retired rental instument, and an Epiphone PJ bass bought for like $150 circa 2001 that doesn’t really work and just sits in a closet but Tom Araya drew a pentagram on it and it has sentimental value to me. In practice I am really quite cheap/minimalist when it comes to guitars. That said, I kinda get it. Because I contemplate modding my bass all the time and I never do it because I really like it as is and I don’t want to mess with a good thing in pursuit of an idea of perfection that will always be a moving target. But if I had infinite money to throw at this and no shame about it I’d probably own several p/pj/jazz/stingray basses by now that were all just like minor variations with different necks and pickups and pots and bridges and whatever, because that’s how I could try out little tweaks without messing with what I already have. For that matter I’d prob have several strats/LPs/teles/jazzmasters with the same kind of little differences, despite the fact that I suck rear end at guitar. And there’d prob be a bunch of overlap in terms of finishes because they only come in so many colors and I like what I like.

Thermos H Christ posted:Because I contemplate modding my bass all the time and I never do it because I really like it as is and I don’t want to mess with a good thing in pursuit of an idea of perfection that will always be a moving target. I am about to come out the tail end of a cycle kind of related to this. I got a Squier VI about three years ago that I ended up doing a bunch of stuff to for quality-of-life improvements, and to make it play and sound more like a bass than the original string gauges and pickups were going to enable. I got talked into buying that instead of an NOS Fender Pawn Shop VI because of the difference in price on an instrument I had never played before... but in late 2018, I found a used Pawn Shop model in the candy apple red finish and bought it. I found myself not playing it... not because it wasn’t nice, but because I don’t hear the same charm and feel the same involvement as I do in playing the one I made to my own spec. Since I’ve already got one that does what I want, and since the Fender model would have its value decreased at this point if I made any changes to it, I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I just don’t need two VIs in my life. I try to run my collection with keeping a meaningful variety of stuff on hand that tickles different parts of my brain, and fortunately, I’ve had good luck with the local used market having things that do that at not-outrageous prices, but it is still tough sometimes to stave off the “yeah but THAT Jaguar bass is the BLUE finish... you need a blue bass!” All that would get me is a bunch of the same crap, and somewhere, I recognize that I don’t need it. That said, I have an offset series Mustang PJ and got a Squier VM Jaguar short-scale that I’ve been trying to get to sound more like the Mustang the whole time I’ve had it, so apparently I’m the stupid music poo poo anyway.
