Damned mic stand. Even when you're sitting down with your guitar, if there are other objects close by, that guitar head/neck could be in jeopardy. And then there'll be no "turning back". Must always remember to check "clearing distance" prior to a session. Man, I'm deep......
Members kwakatak Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 You must have been reading my mind. I konked my kid in the head with my Larrivee tonight. Don't panic though - nobody got hurt and the Larri's fine!
Members brahmz118 Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 I've developed a pretty good Spider-sense about instruments, both mine and others. Many times during rehearsals in cramped quarters, I've narrowly avoided getting stabbed in the knee by cellists, poked in the eye by violinists, whacked in the head by flautists, and ... well I won't tell you what a trombonist standing behind me almost did once. Since I regularly carry around a banjo and a jumbo guitar, I usually know my own circle of destruction pretty well.
Members denvertrakker Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 ...whacked in the head by flautists...A band name in the making if I ever heard one. "Let's give it up for...Whacked In The Head By Flautists!"The perfect opening band for Jethro Tull. Or Herbie Mann. Or Tim Weisberg.

Members Jon Chappell Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 A band name in the making if I ever heard one. "Let's give it up for...Whacked In The Head By Flautists!" The perfect opening band for Jethro Tull. Or Herbie Mann. Or Tim Weisberg. Actually, I think "flutist" is the more au courant term these days. But I like "Circle of Destruction" (also in the same post from brahmz118) for a band name!
Members kwakatak Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 Been there, done that a bunch of times. Same here, but usually it's with the Tak.
Members Queequeg Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 Same here, but usually it's with the Tak. Kwak, how 'bout a whack sound test. See if we can tell the Takamine from the Larrivee.
Members polynices Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 Kwak, how 'bout a whack sound test. See if we can tell the Takamine from the Larrivee. I have done an impulse recording (record a sharp tap) followed by a frequency analysis to see if that process reveals the resonant frequencies of my guitars. It appears so.

Luckily, it was a cheapo guitar.
Members kwakatak Posted March 4, 2007 Members Posted March 4, 2007 Kwak, how 'bout a whack sound test. See if we can tell the Takamine from the Larrivee.All I know that it was sort of a balanced swishy-knock sound with sharp midrange and adequate bass. OTOH, the Tak has that deep thunk sound with lots of bass but muddy midrange.
