    also do you have an amp you can test out? That’ll help you know if it’s the guitar or something wrong with how you have things set up on the computer

    Thanks for all the feedback! Yes... I fired up my Orange, no problems there. I'm messing around with the compressor. Fixed it a bit, but I feel the hiss is more prevalent than it was in the past.

    I want to modify a Squier Sonic Mustang into a Bronco with the Cobain Jaguar pickups. Should I go pink or black?

    nice bass there! just learn a bunch of Cure lines, stuff like the Lovecats and Fascination Street. So fun.

    I'll have to show off and explain my guitar/recording rig later.

    HELL YEAH TEAM JAZZMASTER FOREVER.

    I have two, a 2007 AVRI and a 97 MIJ model that I hotrodded. I still want another to put a real humbucker in, but nothing beats a Jazzmaster for me.

    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    Anyone seen the news with G&L? If they're completely folded, that's really sad news.

    I've read that Fender is likely buying them. Which is a mindfuck.

    There's such a complete lack of reporting around it. I don't think there's even been any sort of official announcement from G&L. The Fender (or FMIC) stuff seems to just be the same couple of forum posts being repeated in different places.

    I hope they can get up and running at the same site and continue making the American stuff, but that feels so massively unlikely now. If Fender buys them up, it will almost certainly be to get the Fender name and workshop back. Obviously, they're extremely good at segmenting their own market, so maybe G&L could be squeezed in somewhere. I'd rather see American G&Ls (with their hardware, pickups and neck profile remaining) roll out over that bland Professional Classic series they just flopped out.

    I wouldn't be shocked if they did something in the vein of the American Ultra series, but put in the G&L hardware and pickups and branded that as being the last of Leo's innovations being brought back to his original shapes.

    But I think the more likely thing is that they're going to be dead and buried now, which sucks for the folks who worked there and sucks for the guitar buying public to have lost a very well made and interesting choice. It's staggering how shittily marketed they were.

    Posts from employees said they were informed they won't be working anymore right? Yeah at this point I don't think Fender is buying. What a disaster

    Fuck Mother Mary straps. Used genAI to make stupid promo images for their merch and are going to the mat defending their dumb decision. IMG_2402.png IMG_2404.jpeg IMG_2403.jpeg

    I have to admit, I really dont get the anti-AI stuff. Its a wave that is coming and no one will stop it. Best to learn how to ride it. Using AI for art/creativity/writing is a sacrilege I agree. Not for ethical reasons just for the principle of it. But if you work a job or run a business or do anything digital, it's an inevitability that you will be delegating a ton of your time to AI. Whether it's now or years down the line. Again best to work w it rather than against it /being a Luddite. and in any case you cannot fight something you dont understand.

    Climate change I do get but we need to solve that crisis from a larger angle than just mitigation. Without the help of bioengineering + biotech we are fucked regardless. I have never understood the lack of forgiveness mentality that comes with believing we ought to personally feel guilty for large-scale problems caused primarily by lack of foresight and lack of coordination abilities that is just part of growing & evolving as an imperfect collective. We have collectively made mistakes and the response to mistakes in an individual life is not to self-flagellate and forget that the whole point of it is flourishing. Creativity, joy, and abundance are worth fighting for and often solutions can show up in ways we did not expect. So I am not a doomer and I do not believe we will destroy the world via AI. This coming from someone who works at a think tank of the leading scientists in the nation.

    Anyway I came here for pedals, sorry for the unrelated rant. I just bought an OBNE Sunlight and am v excited!

    For the past 3ish years or so ive been obsessed with Fat Mike's signature Dunlop picks. I can't get enough of them. I use them for guitar and bass, so the universal-use has been a plus for me.
