Southern Cassowary posted:I know the classic chainsaw sound is all knobs on ten (and all HM-2 merch should have the knobs there unless you're selling to MBV fans or something) but I actually prefer it with the gain at zero into a high-gain amp. The gain knob is kind of an on/off switch and the no gain sound is like an EQ into a more usable gain structure and sounds awesome - you still get the chainsaw nasal snarl but it's way more usable. Yeah I was just referring to the chainsaw sound. In all honesty I never owned an HM-2 (or intend to own one).

For the Stupid poo poo, I listed three things on Reverb and had three scam messages within one hour. Why they don't limit messages to people with an actual account drives me nuts. Absolutely NOT stupid, but pretty awesome poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slpJsOXe3pA Also, Steely Dan sucks.

I need to make a trek and play some newer ones- I don't think I've really played too many since they got rid of Henry. I'm hearing a LOT of good things as far as qc and build quality since the takeover

Gramps posted:I kinda use the classic car standard of 25 years but calling a 97 lester "vintage" makes me feel super old... poo poo I think trying to attach a number of years to it is arbitrary and it really ends up being people who grew up with a specific type of music, car, or whatever getting serious money to collect the things that spoke to them when they were young. 25 years is a pretty good baseline for this but I think of it more as like old hair metal dudes driving up the price on JEMs and old Ibanezes and stuff like that when they got tons of money so that stuff is now collectable and therefore it is "vintage." It's not totally my expertise so I may be off here but I think this is starting to happen with offsets with the people who were into grunge, alternative, and shoegaze in the 90s. Panic!

I think if you have an LP Studio that is from the 90s and has 15 years of gigging scars it definitely qualifies. I also want pictures because it sounds cool as gently caress.

I always think of vintage as a demarcation of guitars so old you wouldn’t want to play them anyway and they’re for lawyers and day traders to keep as diversified securities. Therefor 90s Jaguars aren’t vintage because ever since someone brought Jaguars up in another thread I wanna play one real bad.

Yeah so many vintage guitars are in bad shape, especially when you go 70’s and back. I have a ‘67 ES330 that my dad or uncle bought new, and it’s got dented frets, missing a few inlays, neck pickup was replaced with some 70’s Dimarzio SD, one fhole is damaged from when Vicky Sue Robinson’s cat got its paw stuck inside (lol). It plays fine enough, but you could 100% get a better guitar for like 1/10th of the cost of this guy. And if you’re paying like $6k+ for something like this, there’s going to be such a fear of damaging it that it becomes a showpiece whether you want it to or not. Or you drop it once, realize it’s a guitar, and actually play it.
