I cleaned my office today and mounted a couple of my guitars on the wall with some of those wall mounts. It looks pretty cool.

Jonny 290 posted:Hell yeah, they're pretty handy huh Yeah, I got some called "String Swings" and they're just ok, I wish the length they hang from the wall was adjustable it looks like the same peg is used for both acoustic and electric guitars so for solid body electrics its sticking out a couple of inches further than they really need to, but I'm too lazy to swap them out

A guitar on one of those hooks means “this person actually can play guitar” it’s always cool to see ‘em

I enjoy learning new bass lines and theory, but really its something to keep my hands busy during remote meetings (another reason I keep my camera off). I had ADHD as a child and one of the symptoms I still have is benefiting from fiddling with something when trying to pay attention.

yesterday was “crate day” in nz which is a bit of a weird tradition, invented by a radio station but it’s much bigger now the idea is you get a crate of beer  I assume these kinds of things exist in the US. a dozen 750ml beers and you drink it some people were quite hungover at work today lol

LJ to bed, watched black swan for the first time 5. cyberpunk cartoon today: im gonna go back to bed i think. when i wake up, im gonna open up my radio and attempt some simple modifications. unless i change my mind.

What exactly about the new Gibsons are bad? I’ve never been into them (they’ve always been too expensive and their bass guitars aren’t really as iconic as their guitars)

QC on anything that isn't a $3000 high end version is poo poo and Gibson headstock angle means that your headstock will break if you breathe on it wrong, and when you get it repaired they're gonna glue it and say "oh this is a $3000 guitar , repair bill is $1k" Fender is actually continuing to innovate a bit and their QC is good for the price at all levels (squiers are amazing values). The only new thing Gibson has done in the past few years is the "Theodore", designed after a 60 year old notebook sketch  Look at that ugly confused piece of poo poo. Five thousand dollar MSRP.

The crazy thing to me is over the course of 70 years we've gone from "hey this is neat, you can wrap a wire around these magnets to get a signal from vibrating metal strings and amplify that signal to get a sound" to probably being able to simulate the exact sound you'd get on a super computer or something from an infinite number of combinations of magnet size, wire gauge, number of wraps etc etc etc to get the "perfect" sound and yet the most expensive guitars are 60s reissues. We all want to perfectly emulate tech from 50 years ago even though there was no way those designs were "optimal" I know the answer is "boomers" but why do I like those old designs? On the other hand its neat that there basically is no "good" sound for an instrument, if you think it sounds good it sounds good.

Yeah it definitely doesn't gently caress with subtext all that much, just straightforward suspense/drama
