The controversial gear thread

[AlexGlassLungs]

I had a Jaguar once. It felt like I was rocking out on an ironing board.
I have a new Telecaster now. My brother-in-law asked me what sort of pickups it had and my answer was "ones that make a guitar sound come out the amp". It sounds great. I have no idea what other pickups do or why I would replace the ones that work.
The digital/analog debate is for people who only go see bands in bars that play guitar solos and nothing else, while sports plays on 15 screens around the room.
I've been playing guitar for 25 years, know nothing about guitars, and have sold more albums than you.

See you posted your opinion on a Jaguar, I posted mine as well. You don’t like the feel of a Jaguar, I don’t like the feel of a machine wound pickup

What's the best steak for doom?

I think everyone comes from different backgrounds of playing guitar, and maybe my questions don’t apply to you. Some of you said you go digital and again I’m not bashing that. Some of you may focus on different aspects of the Guitar, mine is my tone first and pedals after. I’ve had tons of pedals that have affectedit in a negative way so yeah not all my opinions you’ll agree with. I was simply asking what your thoughts were, yes it’s my opinion that Jazzmasters bridges suck, it’s my opinion Duncan pickups are sterile, that’s not why I’m asking you, I’m asking your theory behind what you do and why you do it, not what’s better or worse, yeah add your opinion on what’s better or worse but as community of “gear nerds” I’d think you’d talk about why or why you don’t do certain things on your rigs, but hey maybe I’m wrong maybe asking why you put a pedal before another one is too personal or why you don’t care if your dry signal is effected by digital, maybe some of you don’t hear that or maybe it’s that you don’t care enough to hear it and I’m not bashing that either...

Real talk this is a bunch of empty buzzword salad and that's why we're giving you a hard time.

Yeah, this.


Ok, I'll agree with you on: "yes it’s my opinion that Jazzmasters bridges suck". Yeah, those bridges are no fun and I disliked mine very much. Thank goodness for Mastery,

I’m very aware of the controversy in buzz words but honestly it’s way harder to explain yourself without them. I do t agree with them all either but the industry made them and we’re now forced to use them to speak a language we can all understand.

I am almost positive you cannot ID a circuit as analog or digital by ear alone.

This is sig material because so many goddamn people swear they can and are full of shit.

Yeah, I mean I didn’t mean anything by it, just my take.

Can you teach me telekinesis so can feel the inside of my pickups?

I think I typed close to 4 responses before just X'ing out of the screen.

If I were to plug a digital pedal into my rig I can 100% hear the difference in how the buffer alone effects my amp, on top of that the digital repeats and clarity of a delay for example sound too perfect, clear, and don’t have feel to them, an an analog delay has body and depth to it and has flaws that feel natural. It’s more to it than “I can hear this is digital”. There is a whole feel to the difference in the pedal.

I’m not even trying to debate digital bs analog, my initial point to this was to find out theory behind your use of your gear and your opinion on a Jazzmaster being a trend over a fictional instrument.
