Members guitarcapo Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 1. Pickups determine a LOT of a guitar's sound. 2. You're wasting your time ordering more than 2 ingredients on a pizza...the extra stuff just competes for space and it's a waste of money. 3. A lot of modern tubes sound better than vintage tubes that cost a fortune (see sig) 4. Never sell a used guitar to a music store. Ebay is your friend. 5. Building an electric guitar from parts will cost you far more than buying a guitar at a store with similar features. 6. You really need to quit buying so many guitars, pedals and amps, and concentrate more on computer recording equipment and PA equipment. 7. Chicks don't know anything about guitars. Instead of spending two grand on one to impress them, just tell them that your guitar cost that. They will totally believe you and not question you on this because guitars bore them. 8. A stripper might give you her phone number, but don't call it...that's lame and deperate. 9. Contrary to popular opinion, it's difficult to get rich being a musician. Try to have something to fall back on like a doctotate degree or a trust fund or something. 10.Buy gold in times of inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike Sr. Posted April 15, 2006 Members Share Posted April 15, 2006 A) Single coil pickups hum and are generally noisey. Yes there are things you can do to reduce hum, but it will change the sound. It didn't change the sound of my guitars, it just lowered the hum. Changing the sound by lowering the hum is the idea. B) Just because a guitar is cheap doesn't make it a piece of crap. No but is sure helps C)Just because a guitar is expensive doesn't mean it's not a piece of crap. No but is sure helps. D)Semi-Hollows feedback. You can reduce feedback by making them less of a semi-hollow, and you'll change the sound too. Of course they feed back, that the point of a semi-hollow. My gosh, hasn't anyone watched Ted Nugent control his feedback during a show. Use it to you advantage and stop crying. E)Tube amps generally sound better then transister amps. If you goal is to jam with you amp on 10 all the time, of course it sounds better. I like distortion at a lower level however. F)Having 20 guitars doesn't make you a better guitarist. You're right, it makes you a collector who probably knows something about guitars. G)Any post about anything is worthless without a pic. It's worth a thousand words and your 1000 word post won't get read. That's just dumb. G)a 5,000,000 post count doesn't mean your right. Well heck if you were right only a 5th of that time that would kick anybody's butt around here. H)Use the SEARCH button, it's amazing how many of our questions can be answered in a couple of clicks. If you're too lazy to read the 100 pages about if an agile is a good guitar chances are people are sick of answering the same question. I don't want to do research I want to debate on a public form. If you're to lazy to answer, don't. I)If you don't like people disagreeing with you don't post your opinions in a public forum. Make sure you take your own advice.

I loved all the responses actually, including yours. This was just a comic relief response to seeing a lot of the same stuff gone over and over around here. If I wanted to stir the pot I would say things like: Gibsons Suck buy an Agile. My squier sidekick 15 kicks your Marshalls ass! Clapton was pure {censored}, and JJ Pistols smokes his limey ass (okay, well that one is true). I do however stand behind all of my statements in my original posts, they're trueisms to me. If people disagree that's fine, I a, a very open minded person. That's why I come here. I wonder about some people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that somewone might use these riffs to check out a new guitar in order to see how it does in several styles, quickly? I mean, you have metal, classic rock, acoustic-style, and grunge, all easily done in four neat cliche's. Do these four intros necessarily connotate guitar shop "posing"?
