The headsup sweet shit on ebay thread....

[space6oy]

hey i've got an idea! let's share links to sweet shit on ebay & reverb & craigslist etc!

...
I wonder the same thing about people who grew up in rural parts of the U.S., where you're far less likely to be able to find oddities in local shops and you're far less likely to have a gear mentor. I grew up in Tennessee, so it took a series of events stretched over years for me to become a gear junkie.

...because Memphis & Nashville aren't known for legendary music gear & recording studios or anything

Right, because everyone who grew up on Garth Brooks & Travis Tritt is dying to get their hands on an Electra Psychedelic Machine and an EMS Synth Hi-Fli.

Maybe. (who isn't!) After all this is the same everyone who grew up on Elvis, Sun Studios & Gibson guitars...not to mention the countless wannabe musicians who try & fail at "the nashville sound" and rockabilly, r&b, plus more adventurous youth experimenters whose gear winds up in pawn shops & garage sales across the region.

If you're looking for specific, obscure or rarely seen gear then having a gear mentor or guru is unlikely to help. I live in the fringes of NYC and have yet to come across anything like you mentioned, despite having a *gear mentor* in my fam who owns a Trident B-series desk, Memory Moog & EMT plate reverb!

Geez, Echorec lighten up. Dang. Ain't nobody hatin'. Gotta have a bit of fun, eh?

But talking about not having access to gear information on a site dedicated to getting builders to players with a worldwide audience is a little silly.

(Btw, I'm sure most people on the site have real friends...you know, being in bands and going to shows and stuff. Haha.)

[rustywire]

Ya I'm with galvy here. Just some playful bantz...I doubt either one of us intended to rustle your jimmies, ech.
But sup with the *friendless antisocial fuckups* comment and negative sentiment toward vidya culture?
Are ya OK m8? Having a bad day? Year?

I wonder who turned him onto this stuff

This has been popping up the past few weeks and is one of the most beautiful finishes I've seen on a guitar.

i usually think stuff like that's totally cheesy, but that one's sweet.
i'd still like it even better w/o the bird head though.
flippin' the bird...

Ahh yes, the time-tested MB cycle (from which there can be no deviation)...people manufacture a fruitless disagreement for the sheer sake of being pedantic, until finally the 5th wheel remarks, "Geez, [...] lighten up."

As a fairly casual, irreverent individual, I would personally abstain from ever putting on the hat you've chosen, if only to avoid greater disruption of the mellow, brah.

And why would someone be on this board in the first place, if they didn't even know what a fuzz pedal was? Some people debate the chicken or the egg, but you seem to think you can get an omelette without a chicken or an egg.

If anyone wants to track stock at 80Tape, mysteriousj has made some recent additions to his Reverb store.

Nashville & Memphis are 2 historically rich "music cities" among the most influential in the nation along with Chicago, NOLA obv NYC & LA...and Dallas, Austin. They are hotbeds for used enthusiast gear. I don't mention this for sake of being pedantic but to offer contrast and context which you've glossed over with broad brush strokes.

This in particular reads as a bit contentious and passive-aggressive...even pedantic...for someone who fancies themselves a fairly casual, irreverent individual. That hat you've chosen is clashing with the outfit you want to wear. Red herring, in fact, doesn't go with everything.
A green, yet resourceful user may find this board via web browser search for gear other than fuzz. The thread on the new Behringer Deepmind12, for example. All users are not created equal and while luck is certainly a factor, technique and attitude play ancillary roles in determining outcomes.
