Joe Bonamassa might be good at his instrument but he pisses me off on a personal level because one of his "hobbies" is basically buying every single vintage guitar and amp that crosses his field of view and locking them away in a warehouse somewhere. He has videos where he walks through his gear sanctuary place and is like "oh hey over there check out my pile of twenty four original 63' Fender Tweed Deluxe amps just kinda grouped together in the corner in my own personal museum that only I can visit." There's no way he could ever have time to play a fraction of all the stuff he has, much less more than one or two of the multiple instances of any of it. Joe Bonamassa is basically the DeBeers of the vintage guitar world, driving up prices through creating artificial scarcity. GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Sep 2, 2021 |

"Gibson partners with Rally on an investment platform allowing players to buy stock in rare and unique guitars" https://www.musicradar.com/news/gibson-rally-guitar-investment So you can own a share in a guitar you'll never play. In fact it'll probably never leave Gibson's vault. You'd think boomer guitar-poo poo and techbro NFT-poo poo would mix like oil and water, but apparently not.

God I cannot wait for loving NFTs to fold. Or at least I hope they do, they seem like a more unstable concept than bitcoin. Also not suprised that Gibson's getting in on the grift. Any one know if Fender or any of the other companies will follow suit? I hope not but it is easy money if you have a brand and can provide them.

Gibson: "Pay us some money and you can tell your friends you 'own' some really old guitar that some rear end in a top hat you idolized played for a while. You receive literally zero physical access to said guitar." Boomer: *shits self* OH MAN I WONDER HOW MUCH I CAN TAKE OUT OF MY 401K TO GET IN ON THIS!

I think the millennial version is showing your neighbours that you don't need the thing instead, and being equally smug about that. See also: playing a squier instead of a fender.

Apparently one of the reasons he left Korn was they kept trying to tell him his setup was too extra and he was not compromising. quote:"There were certain demands that he made.

I remember some poo poo like that with package I've ordered before and a goon told me that area tends to be a major shipping hub for carriers and a lot of the times it's more practical for them for them to ship poo poo in bulk over to the hub and then divvy it out to it's location. Seems stupid for us but I guess when you're on the scale of FedEx/DHL/UPS it somehow makes more sense.

Can I get a little SMS history help here, does anyone remember a luthiery site that may have been a joke, think it was just called "the repair guy" and most of his fixing advice was "flood the site with superglue and accellerant". Was he for real?

also stupid: looking over mofi's vinyl section, and there's not a single album you can actually order and get shipped to you. Everything is labeled either out of stock, awaiting repress, sold out, or preorder. yes, these are all different categories I guess

For $3500 you could do better in both turntables and guitars. Also I know sunburst is an iconic guitar color but man do I find it boring. Miami blue turntable when mofi? Or Lake placid blue I'll take that too.

The right sunburst can look fantastic on the right Les Paul, and it can look pretty cool on the right Strat, but on literally anything that's not a stringed instrument, it just looks like awful midwestern furniture you'd buy at a Cracker Barrel.

Baker got along with Fela Kuti (another giant ego) enough to make music with him, so probably just mildly racist.

Ginger Baker: - lived and worked in Nigeria and Safrica for decades - recorded and toured with Fela and Africa 70 - told white militias offering 'protection' to gently caress off - imported his Nigerian polo team into an all-white polo club and got run out of the country for it (again) - married a Zimbabwean woman - hated everybody who wasn't a polo pony - dead Clapton: - Nathan East in his band I guess - had word "Enoch Powell" for a mouth - anti-vaxxer - not dead yet
