You know you've spent too much time on reddit when you try to downvote people on FB. FB really needs some sort of 'dislike' though.

I didn't think you were being a dick, was talking more in general. :hug:

IMO it's acceptable to slag someone's playing in "i can do better" terms...i've been saying "fuck, i can play drums better than Don Henley" for thirty-five years. what i try not to do is say "this is indisputably shit, and if you disagree you're an idiot." that's disrespectful of other people who aren't committing the music in question, and i've gotten in trouble with people i otherwise get along with swimmingly for doing that in the past. you didn't do that. and yes, there's a big difference between saying "i hate this" and saying "this is shit." one says "i think." the other says "it is."

What you just said? It is correct and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.

You know that around here, that's fucking awesome. $1200 would probably cover my pedalboard and amps.

It made me happy that auto-spell recognizes "pedalboard."

Shit, I don't have a job! I've been selling and trading to sell as much just to cover my ass :(
Been selling multiple pedals to fund the TimeLine and Moogs, which is the entirety of the $1200

I've sold around as much in pedals to recoup costs. I've been thinking of making a chart since I joined in december just to see where all my pedals went

there's stuff i sold this last few months that i really miss. oddly, i really miss the two Marshall Guv'nor IIs...when i ran them in series and matched the gains JUST right they got this amazing compressed Bob Mould thing happening. they were also great in the effects loop of the (also departed :no:) Truly Beautiful Disaster...the four-band EQ allowed me to tune them to a feedback note and toggle that note in/out with the loop switch. but that was stuff i don't use in the music i play, so it were surplus.

Some people might think that I'm a nudist as of now.
True Story:
It's the first really nice day since winter today. All the snow is gone, fresh and nice 20°C outside... so I wake up, open my window and step outside on my balcony. The sun is shining on me and it's just beautiful.
At that moment a full train drives by. I was naked. :facepalm:

I kind of chose a new guitar over food for the week. I really need to work on buying shit before I can pay it off
And stupidly destroyed my Squier Strat. Oh well, new science experiment :excellent:
