It's funny to imagine that some random dude saw the original and thought "This is so horrible/funny that he'll probably delete it." *archives the full res clip*

I still find that some song super fascinating in how is extremely competently made but deftly avoids saying, anything. Its all verbs that appear coherent but don't lead to any point or conclusion, and your brain registers it as wrong like the lyrical version of Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like.

It's such a fascinatingly banal song. There's definite technical competency on display, but an utter lack of any songwriting ability. It's the distillation of skill without talent.

homewrecker posted:He may be a decent guitarist but if it makes you feel any better here is his attempt at an original song: Presumably you didn't have your PRS custom made though? It does feel as though he went to a lot of trouble for "purple LP". If you LIKE LPs thats fine, but there's heaps of LPs and LP-esque guitars around - it feels a bit redundant to get someone to build another one specially for you. The chopped Warbeast up there is hideous, but its uniquely hideous at least. If I could afford to have someone build me a bass, it would be a gaudy franken-monstrosity that would make a '60's Soviet guitar designer wince.

It feels like the song on an album that comes directly after the hit single when you realise that the artist may be a one-hit wonder. sigher posted:Amazing guitar, but harsh critique on your body shape.

When you get custom build guitar money, go custom as gently caress. Stig from Danish rock band DAD has the right idea (basses starta minute or so in): https://youtu.be/Jvz3H5hufuQ I will never not post his basses.

This song sucks in a way I haven’t heard since I used to hang around a recording studio with a friend of mine who engineered hourly recording sessions. That bassist has the same enthusiasm as one of the studio guys, “please don’t take my picture”.

His explanation is that he is not a technical player and he plays simple stuff, so he doesn't need D and G strings. He seems super chill. Phone bass looks awesome in live videos too, the screen works and is connected to the camera.

That reminds me of a bass player from some 90's band who had replaced their E and A strings numerous times on tour, but still had the D and G that the bass had come with. I want to say D'Arcy from Smashing Pumpkins, but I don't think it's her.

To be honest, I felt attacked when my singer mocked me for having a 5 string when I never used the G string. It's nice to have in theory!

I can't believe one of my dad's favorite bass playing anecdotes/opinions (from back in the day when he went through the whole cycle of playing drums, bass and eventually guitar in a band in his youth) about five-string basses "being pointless because you only really need two strings on a bass" turned out to be true.

Stupid Music poo poo is that I took my LPC into the warehouse today and it clocked at 15lbs on the scales, which is starting to turn practice into an endurance feat. Apparently weight relief hadn't caught on back then. Siivola rightly pointed out that's basically two averagely chunky Fenders.

The set-neck Lotus I just got is a hair under 10 pounds and even with a nice, wide strap my lower back and shoulder starts to hurt after ~15 minutes. 15 pounds frightens me.

Apparently weight relief hadn't caught on back then. Siivola rightly pointed out that's basically two averagely chunky Fenders. How heavy is a Bigsby bridge? The reason I ask is because I'm a Gibson man and I can heft all three of my Les Pauls around all day without any problems, but I recently got a Vintera telecaster with a Bigsby bridge and I swear it was fashioned from the heart of a dying star because it's an absolute shoulder breaker! (note - I don't heft all 3 around at once because that would be silly) Dog_Meat fucked around with this message at 17:00 on May 31, 2021 |

Ten to twelve ounces, or about a third of a kilogram. Are your Les Pauls weight relived? Gibson often chambers the bodies since it's so easy to hide it under the top. Fender hasn't really bothered, aside from the Thinline Telecaster. Siivola fucked around with this message at 17:29 on May 31, 2021 |

My old 90s Epiphone is a hefty beast, but that was back when they made them heavy. I think you're right though, because this tele is like carrying a butcher's block around my neck

I have a Sheraton II from 1995 and it has a baseball bat for a neck and is almost indestructible. If I were to play it live now, I would sit down with it because even in my 20s I would get a sore back playing and jumping around with it. A guy in my work had a newer Sheraton and it felt like balsa wood and I had the urge to handle it like a newborn baby.

The Studio has gone between chambered and Swiss cheese. The Standard was non-relieved for a bit around 2019 and then became the Traditional, but it's hard to keep track.
