darkwasthenight posted: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. Out of curiosity, I weighed my bass for comparison. Your guitar weighs almost twice my (admittedly headless) bass (7.8lbs or 3.55kg for civilized people).

Finally my bad math on the last page is justified; my basses are roughly 9lbs each which is a little over the halfway point for that guitar.

I gave up trying to understand the ever-changing Gibson terms. I just go with "felt pen headstock" and "proper Gibson". Both of my 'real' Gibsons are Traditional models (no auto tuner silliness, weird neck profile, etc) and seem to be just on the right side of authentically hefty but modernly comfortable. The Tele though... Jesus. I did the Angus hop at my last gig and I swear I was 2" shorter afterwards

Boss is trying to get me excited for their HM2 reissue. They are very well aware of what they're doing. I especially like the detail of diming all the knobs:

I mean honestly I'm probably going down the modeling route completely soon anyway but I hate that things like the HM-2 get their price driven up so high by hype. I guarantee 90% of people trying to get their hands on them don't even want chainsaw tone

Lol we just got done dunking on MusicIsWin, and his latest video popped in my recommendations thanks to this thread. It is titled "I Finally Got a Gibson Les Paul." As much as I'd like to be snarky and ask if the custom PRS wasn't good enough, maybe I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and wonder if it's the result of poorly timed sponsorship deals instead.

I don't understand why he's so backed by PRS. Is it just the YouTube channel? There's gotta be more to it than that, didn't he just spend like $500,000 on that overdrive pedal? I didn't watch the video. rickiep00h posted:Personally I'm looking forward to the all-black Metal Zone so I can recreate my horrible college-days tones, except in all black.

Just directly wire a knobless HM2 circuit into the pickups before your output jack. Bonus points if it’s on an uncomfortably pointy guitar and/or there’s no way to disable it. I may have to find a Warlock to do this to.

I had a HM-2 and a Walrus Red. Gonna go against tradition and say all dimed is not great. But there's a lot of awesome sounds in it. I'm just a boring rock person tho.

I've a Cool Music Insane Distortion pedal that seems to behave like the VST HM2 clone I have. Little bass response, so not so great for bass.

This is a good idea. Possibly wire it straight to the bridge pickup on an HH with a two way switch. Choose between clean neck and chainsaw, very useful!

He's friends with Paul. They've done clinics together and now they're pals. The 500000 dollar Klon is not really 500k. Josh from JHS owns it and listed it on Reverb as a goof basically

Scratchboard is ink coated clay and very easy to scratch.

Yeah I bought into the kickstarter for that and he was posting regular updates about the project. There was a whole lot of "I can't work this week because my hands are claws after doing page 12". He's also an insane perfectionist so he ended up throwing finished pages out and redoing them over and over. e: Oh there's actually a mini-doc about it! https://vimeo.com/209507887 2e: lol oops, possibly  for brief naked gurewitch rear end

Actively detrimental. Schumann actually destroyed his playing career on a "finger strengthen machine" thing. https://www.wqxr.org/story/weird-classical-when-schumann-ruined-his-fingers-and-his-concert-career/ E, rereading that, it's not quite so simple as that. But nonetheless, it's a dumb idea. Huxley fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jun 5, 2021 |

quote:During his studies with Wieck, some stories claim that Schumann permanently injured a finger on his right hand. Wieck claimed that Schumann damaged his finger by using a mechanical device that held back one finger while he exercised the others—which was supposed to strengthen the weakest fingers.[6] Clara Schumann discredited the story, saying the disability was not due to a mechanical device, and Robert Schumann himself referred to it as "an affliction of the whole hand." Some argue that, as the disability appeared to have been chronic and have affected the hand, and not just a finger, it was not likely caused by a finger strengthening device.[7] In 2012, neurologists discussed Schumann's symptoms at a conference called "Musicians With Dystonia." Schumann's problems were greater than just the device. With finger strengthening devices it's weird because... well, just play the instrument. That's all the workout you'll need.
