We're talking about becoming a master batarist. What's not to get?

Claire Annette Augustus actually has a nice ring to it.

I wonder if there's a true guitar-bass combination, with the six guitar strings, the four bass strings, and maybe a couple strings in between.

Besides the example I already saw, if you stretch the concept of 'guitar' a bit, some of the Chapman sticks (the 12 strings) have close to that sort of arrangement. And god only knows what some crazed luthier has concocted.

Of course, you don't have to tune an 8 string down like a 'hybrid bass.' You can use the extra two strings as a drone, tune one to D so you can play drop D stuff and still have an E string in the traditional config, and so on, and so on.

That puts me in mind of an instrument designed for Michael Bay, perhaps with an explosion key.

Well, the instrument itself could be an explosion.

Well, Word-Of-God is that Marten's new baby is an Ibanez RG2228A Prestige 8 String Electric Guitar, prized around US$2000. I think that's two thirds of what I earn in a year here in Mexico.

I hate being a student again.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #211 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 23:15 »

I don't play guitar and can't afford that at all but I still want it

Soulsynger · « **Reply #212 on:** 03 Apr 2013, 23:39 »

Did someone make the joke about a lead violin being awfully hard to play due to enormous weight yet?

If not, consider it made. The mental image is hilarious.

Lead violin in Deathmøle?
I can't quite picture Claire playing anything that heavy.

Think about it, and I'm sure you'll want to strangle me about…

Hey, spare a thought for Tai and the silver, gold, platinum, and diamond records she may have spun.

I swear Jeph reads these threads (even though I know he says he doesn't)

Isn't there a musician who uses a flute of gold?

Yeah, but he's classical...

Also, comic's up!

Marten avoids regrets, Faye gives a reality check.

Damn, the current topic is one I have almost nothing to contribute to.

I started learning guitar a while ago but I stopped due to lack of time and motivation. University + work is way to time consuming for anything fun currently

ChaoSera · « **Reply #228 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:13 »

Lemons are great!

You can burn a house down with lemons. But only if you are Cave Johnson. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want to be Cave Johnson?

mtmerrick · « **Reply #229 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:16 »

Anyone can burn a house down now, thanks to Aperture Science's new Combustible Lemon™ (patent pending)

ChaoSera · « **Reply #230 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:18 »

I don't think they are up for sale yet.

They actually used to sell them at thinkgeek, but they apparently don't anymore...

Which brings me to the question: does that one cake have lemons in it? Or sour grapes? Because if it has sour grapes in it, then I wouldn't want it anyway

*rimshot*

ChaoSera · « **Reply #233 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:28 »

Doesn't matter it's a lie anyway. And if they tell you what's in it, that's probably a lie too.

Not to be confused with their Talking Potato™ or their Talking Spheres™ line or their Motion Triggered Speaker Talking Tour Guide™ ... man, Aperture Science sure likes their talking.

@Comic:
Urm... anticlimactic much? Would've loved this to be a "catch you last second at the airport" sorta scene at the music store.

mtmerrick · « **Reply #235 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:46 »

Don't forget their Sentient Companion Cube™.

Not in cruelty
Not in wrath
The REAPER came today;
An ANGEL visited
this gray path,
And took the cube away

ChaoSera · « **Reply #236 on:** 04 Apr 2013, 02:54 »

But remember, the Companion Cube does NOT talk. If it does talk, Aperture Science recommends strongly not to follow it's advise.
