The whole rosewood v maple thing has gotta be at least 90% psychosomatic even if there was a way to quantify the difference, but you'd never have two guitars identical enough save for that one factor to test it.

I mean, if your string's not supposed to touch the wood, who gives a gently caress what the neck is made of

some woods are nice to touch, and smell, and look at, and make me feel good for buying them instead of many dozens of burritos.

Despite my earlier posts, I have very deliberately only bought maple necks after actually learning to play and care about instruments. This is entirely because I prefer the feel. I dunno if JEMs come in maple though, when I eventually get one.

I know at least the floral print ones do.

Some of the early white ones had ebony boards which is somewhat comparable.

great results but 13k gbp???? does the turntable hardware he used cost that much????

edit: okay hold up yeah 10k of that is apparently the audiophile poo poo unless the 10k is separate from the 13k woodworking

I love audiophiles. What the gently caress is an artificial ground? In what universe are you modifying an amp in a house you don't live in, and how would you even hear it with the unfamiliar acoustics and talking?

But also buying higher end speakers sucks, because the seller is guaranteed to be an audiophile and be will give you well meaning advice, half of which will be good, but the other half is huffed farts. I was almost considering buying some dumb tone cables, because the things about placement and speaker size and stuff he told me made sense.

Edit: holy poo poo, that's not the full text you quoted, it gets worse. I have a hard time believing it's not a joke or a scam, it's just too over the top. But on the other hand, audiophiles.

I believe that one started out as a joke but clueless audiophiles believed in it so they pivoted to selling them for reals

I usually buy used guitars so mine already have a few dings or whatever. I like a beat up guitar. That being said I do think it's funny people insist on a brand new guitar that looks like it should be listed as "fair" condition on Reverb.

so whats the deal with finn mckenty or whatever. he seems very knowledgeable about a lot of stuff but also seems like he's way way way too into the business side of stuff. On its own that wouldn't be bad but like not trying to be a huge communist here or anything, but he seems like a total capitalist shill

My Friedman JJ-100 has the best clean sound I've ever heard, and the distortion goes from 80's hair metal, to straight death metal. It's an amazing amp.

I'm only half-way through this. I am stopping by to say that, yes, I am now about to google search for an image of Lenny Kravits' balls hanging out or whatever this dude is taking about.

I hate to use the cliches for this video. It's not just funny, it's smart funny and the guy is addressing actual musical arrangement decisions in an intelligent, if tongue-in-cheek way. So, that was my serious post, but what I really mean is who the gently caress is this dude, who does he write and produce with, and how is he so goddamned funny? Like, this guy is hitting some deep-ish cuts and the production is very "theater of the mind" which is making it even funnier. Not to mention the great terrible graphic art. This poo poo is fantastic. I have a song cooking (sent it off to my bassist buddy this morning), a shitload of practicing to do, and Forza Horizon 5 is out. I do not have 50 minutes to watch some rando on YouTube but yeah I am making the time.


E: O MY!

Finnerty is amazing I just found this and I feel like a boil in my psyche has been lanced by the red-hot scorn of this awesome dude.

But but on board effects man! And tbh I don't even know why Rickenbacker uses a Rickenbacker style bridge, mine's lifted a little over the years like nearly all of them do.

they actually finally got forced to upgrade the bridge when they made the al cisneros sig bass lol. i replaced mine with a heavy rear end brass hipshot

If I remember correctly it was individually adjustable saddles or something? I had no interest because I knew I couldn't afford the Cisneros sig and also I would probably replace it with the hipshot anyway.
