Tat is a very excellent looking guitar but I can never get over how when you're not looking too closely it looks like two guitars photoshopped together

I got an acoustic, and I was wondering do I need one of those humidifier thingies?

It depends.  Do you live/keep your guitar in a very humid area?  If not, then you don't need one, but if where you keep your guitar dries out, it would be a good idea.  Not only does it keep damage from happening (which becomes significant over a long period of time), it helps keep your guitar in the same tune in which you bought it, and keeps the neck just as playable as it always was.

If Dano made those in standard sunburst (though that would defeat the purpose of really cheap, nice-playing guitars) I would be jizzing all over my pants right now.

Nope, Kramer. Still pretty sweet, and still aluminum enough for all your shellac/jesus lizard/etc. needs.

The neck in my electric bass has graphite in it and my bow is made of carbon fiber (metropolitan; David Gage's collaboration with CodaBows).  I also played a pit gig with a woman whose entire cello was made of carbon fiber.  She loved it, and it looked badass.

I play mostly a Parker Nitefly M that the fingerboard is carbon fiber. Slick as owl shit on terazza.

Shit is cool. Think I cold beat up 3 alt-country bands with the CE Blade and only suffer minor tuning problems. Or I could just be too beer drunk?

Naw, that sounds about right.  The review I read rated it as 2.5 alt country bands, but I saw a picture of the guy, and he was way scrawny.

With my electric bass, I once checked it on a flight from Charleston, SC -> Newark, NJ -> Washington, DC.  It was maybe 50-60F in Charleston, snowing in NJ and probably in the 40's in DC.  Also, keep in mind that it was in the cargo compartment.  I showed up at my rehearsal in DC and it was perfectly in tune.

okay. kool. I have enough trouble remembering to put pants on before going to work. Another tuning would totally f up my world. I coulda sworn I saw one in the burst 'finish' at GC last week. I think I'd have to opt for the bright orange or another unholy color. In fact the orange would look spiffy with my orange tolex avatar...

But then you could not beat up even one alt Country band without it shattering (so I'd have to carry my Mustang for that...)

Guitar thread,

You may remember me detailing the trouble UPS caused with my Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10. To recap, they dropped it and ran a forklift into it, thereby completely destroying it. I managed to get a refund and bought this:



It is so much better.

Sovtek Mig-50 running through an Ampeg V-12. The lows are so meaty and the highs are perfectly below the land of shrill awfulness. Plus, It is loud. So loud.

Jeeebz. What's that Ampeg cabinet weigh?

EDIT

Also must...fight...Dano... GAS...while...Parker in the shop...next...week.
Seriously if that was a 2xhumbucker guitar I'd get one just as my new backup.
In other news, combining 2 trips to Greensboro to get both the Parker and the Line6 repaired at the same time is only saddened by the fact I cannot get both fixed at the same place EVEN though the one shop could do both (but doesn't have the warranty biz contract with Guitard Center). Will continue that part of the saga in Guitar Pederast Pedal thread...

The guitar cab is actually not too heavy. However, I'm used to hauling around a 4x10 Ampeg bass cab which weighs almost as much as a neutron star.

The awesome thing about the cab is that the previous owner was an electrical engineer and wired it for stereo. Plus, he mounted sweet-ass doors on the front. Overall, I am pleased.

Bigger is better.  I put wheels on my 1x15" bass cab, and they were maybe 1" to 1-1/2" and they just can't cut it on any rough terrain.  Aside from that, your local home improvement shop will probably have really cheap casters.

Hey guys there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed against Guitar Center and NAMM for conspiring to fix prices.

The lawsuit also alleges that Guitar Center attempted to quash competition from online retailers by threatening to boycott suppliers that dealt with online stores.

If you bought a fretted instrument (guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, violin etc. etc.) from Guitar Center between 2005 & 2007 you are eligible to join the class action here.

Fuck Guitar Center.
