The Korina collector’s edition is even dumber than that. They relic’d them. Not that I care about those ugly guitars but they apparently did all this work to make sure they were historically exact, right down to what kind of knobs they used back then, laser scans of a few they found to serve as blueprints for neck profiles, they even used Brazillian Rosewood fretboards from their limited stash they have from back before the wood was made totally illegal to procure... all that dumb poo poo. Then they relic them. They go and bang the drat things up so they look “like they were made in the 50’s” or whenever they were made. I mean to me, the concept of relicing guitars is fine. Some guitars look great beaten to hell. But these korina guitars, whose entire appeal seems to be 1. their rarity and 2. the korina wood they’re made from, seem like they’d be way more appealing as pristine than pre-beaten up. But either way there’s only 19 being made or whatever hilariously small number so who cares. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Jul 18, 2021 |

Yeah no poo poo, prices are hosed. I know used prices on guitars are ridiculous right now but Gibsons especially. This is the Pelham Blue version of my guitar. Mine is in mint condition. Mine is also Ebony which is more valued for that model. I bought mine for AU$2500. When it pops up it's almost AU$4k. That's loving ridiculous. I love my LP but holy gently caress I would never pay that much for the dang thing.

I think the only guitar for which I would shell out some serious moolah would be for a lefty version of a Larrivée RS-4 The RS-2 (on the left) that I got as a payment for helping with a small session is still the best drat 6-string I've played as far as just balls-out sounds go.

This did lead to me shelling out moolah for an instrument way above my skill level though, quite dangerous in that aspect.

It's funny with lefty gear as you usually pay over the odds, but now and again you get a bargain on stock that wouldn't sell. Got a great deal on a Taylor 12 string, I don't often play it though

Speaking of stock that wouldn't sell... I was in the local music store the other day, looking at keyboards. I should have seen if they still had that Gorky Park guitar that was there 30 years ago.

Why do sites like eBay and Reverb give accepted offers 2-3 days to make the payment? You made the offer, I accepted it. Gimme my drat money so I can get this thing shipped. I have no chill for this. If a dude takes forever to pay it's often going to be a bad time for me, in my experience.

I'd assume they have a blanket policy to allow the customer a couple days to pay no matter how the deal was made, whether it was an auction, bin, or best offer. But yeah it's annoying the most trouble I had on Ebay was people accepting best offers and then ghosting without paying.

Ebay specifically doesn't give a poo poo about you as a seller. They haven't for a looooooong time.

IMO listings should stay up until money exchanges hands. Sure I'll take your offer but if you sit around for days someone else may grab it.

It really sucked when you had to wait for someone to send a money order. I was already disorganized enough, having to keep those orders straight made selling records a lot less fun.

One of our amp techs has been working on a private project inevitably destined for this thread. It's a 20 watt amp, but the preamp is based on a Muff circuit with a tube boost stage and two band EQ around it. I'm going to try get some clips off him when he's done.

I love small watt amps. At home the highest I have is a Marshall AVT50. Everything else? 20 or 25. I am definitely getting a 100-150 watt head soon, though, because I wanna test a theory.

Like, I get it, they gotta eat and part of that is growing to be mainstream, but it always makes me a bit sad inside when out of nowhere the snazzy intro shows up, the forced wacky "oh no, things went off the rails!" moments happen every time until every creator is crammed into the same mold for their genre. I still wonder with Andrew if it's him trying to (pardon the pun) space out the music a bit with this content because of burnout. Or maybe he's lost his original demo which was a lot less extended talk on synths and a lot more silly light content and he's trying to go back to it. I mean, he did first hit it big with "pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows"...

I don't understand what he's going for, but if he's done even a portion of the production on that series it's an insane flex and CV piece. Wouldn't be stunned if he ended up working on TV/Film in some capacity.

But thats the thing though, this is like advanced level dicking around on YouTube. To me it strikes as too goofy not to be sincere, I dont think there necessarily has to be future job placement angle to it (beyond that being a successful YouTuber itself is lucrative as hell) e; plugging his channel into a quick and dirty calculator outputs his YouTube earnings as $1,283 average earnings per video $764,462 total earnings. (which doesn't count brand placement or sponsorships) he's making more money that 99% of touring career musicians do by loving around with a green screen spaceship and demoing gear. massive spider fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Aug 3, 2021 |
