Yeah... I want you to get it too... and run it through your Euro.

So like, does Agile actually suck? Because I kind of want this thing:

I figure if I'm going for the whole 8 string thing, I might as well go headless too

Mr. November if you buy that guitar call me and we can start a noise band

My bass has been in the shop for 5 weeks being set up. I sent a politely worded email last week asking why, is there anything I could do to assist or perhaps they could provide me with an update....

I only have one bass! It’s the truest of instruments and I yearn for no other. I weep for her sitting in that cold cold basement with no one to love her.

[$harkToootth]

@november - I like mine. People do like them, some hate them. 2 things are true though. 1. They have no resale value. 2. You will have to do a set up. They are not out of the box for that (that said, all I did to mine over the years was adjust the trus rod).

[MrNovember]

Hmm, I will keep this in mind. Won't be buying it for awhile since I have a Matriarch on the way, but I'm going to keep my eyes open for one of these

[$harkToootth]

I have a Matriarch on the way

Oh ShiT!!!!
I don’t know why this seems appropriate but it does...

Is anyone getting a PURPLL? I R E A L L Y don't need another PLL. But...

Having the Broughton, the Data Corrupter, and now the PurPLL and the Elta (which arrived a few hours ago)...nothing comes close to the PurPLL.

It is pretty phenomenal w just the drone but w a bass plugged in. Wow!

[$harkToootth]

It just really warms my heart there are still people here that can have 4 PLLs in their arsenal and embrace the strengths and weaknesses of each one. I'd be right there with you cosmicevan but I just coped a colour theory and I have to start my 4 year dissertation into that manual.

INB4 minimalism - take that Zen nonsense / topical colloquialism to another circle jerk.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE?
YOU'RE IN THE GEAR MASTURBATORIUM BABY!
YOU'RE GUNNA DIEEEEE!

[cosmicevan]

Yeah. I can get a little overboard in things. Getting out of boozing and selling off my collection of fancy bourbons and belgian lambics has filled my paypal and I have such little self control when it comes to noise makers and oddities. I mean isn't this supposed to be fun?

I've actually "kind of" been there. I was a manager at a liquor store for literally YEARS of my life so I always got the hooch cheap. It's funny cause when I stopped drinking (I didn't overcome addiction, or find Satan, or some shit... I just sort of... stopped) people where like... "Oh you're going to save so much money." Yeah... that didn't happen

But yeah, those "collectors" bourbons get super pricey. Collector Bourbon customers were not the worst though. You know, they had 'manageable' expectations. No one was like, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE PAPPY VAN DICK HEAD." People knew, no body did .

[$harkToootth]

I'm getting my next guitar (whatever that may be ) off this site. Might be of interest to you other guys that love cheap gear. https://m.thomannmusic.com/harley_bento ... asses.html

[coldbrightsunlight]

Thomann/Harley Benton do indeed do cheap stuff. I have heard ok things about the quality as well, though never tried one.

Haha, know what you mean. Both my wife and I stopped drinking and everyone is asking her if shes pregnant and I get funny looks now too. I am not totally a teetotaler yet - drank a bit this weekend - but even getting choosy about which social events you drink at catches attention. The alcohol culture is out of control.

The only awkward stuff about the fall bourbon hunt is the faux relationships and conversations that the hunters have w store mgrs. I used to be pretty deep in it and hung w a crew that had some deep pockets so I have been fortunate w what Ive tried and even still have a pretty impressive bar w my open bottles. I am just thankful that there is still market to cash out on...the craft beer bubble burst and my buddy who went through recovery is sitting on a massive cellar of bottles that used to sell for north of a hundred ea and now you cant give em away. Gear and noise and music is way more fun

[coldbrightsunlight]

I like drinking and I like drinking nice things but spending huge amounts on rare/expensive alcohol except maybe for very very special occasions is baffling to me. I guess I don't understand the collector mindset when applied to consumables

[$harkToootth]

I guess I don't understand the collector mindset when applied to consumables

I don't "do it" but I "get it". I just get collecting in general.
I'm talking smack but, the people that collect the "Game of Thrones" beers. Again, I get the collecting aspect but, they are/were consistently the worst segment to deal with. It came to a point at my store we just didn't order them anymore. Didn't want to deal with it. The people that collected Stone "Enjoy Boys" were second place, but not even a close second. There is a joke here about the first set of collectors taking the metaphorical "throne" but I'm not clever or caffeinated enough to come up with it write now.

Speaking of collectors, if you want to have some fun, read about Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman's) collecting.
