New Empress Paraeq looks cool. Actually…wait, looks just like CBA Blooper? I can’t be the only one who sees it, right?

No, it's definitely just you.

Disproving the belief that whiskey can't curdle

Haha, the video I watched wasn’t quite as new age-y as that, but it also wasn’t really true peer reviewed science. Basically just amounted to: vibrating whiskey brings more whiskey molecules in contact with the wood. That being said, not really defending the Metallica whiskey, their write-up is definitely more in tune with the new age bullshit and is clearly just a marketing tactic.
Fuck a ladle, I'm just gonna yell at my soup pot real loud so that more of the soup makes contact with the heat.

I can't believe they cure it in bottles and not jars though (yes I know it's a cover and not funny shut up don't @ me)
Anyway, I actually do see the paraeq/blooper similarity.

A missed marketing opportunity, methinks

I had no idea going in....but I'm glad I took thee tripppp
Neck on that bass is beyooootifool, but the gig bag is ok since it comes with headstock socks
Also, I'm glad we've exited the Fleabass era, hopefully this means a neon squier will happen in 2.5 yeers, rite?
Also pt.2, those cool accessories I saw on Reverb a month ago finally make sense:

the new empress eq really gets me going too bad i rarely use my PEQ pedal already. the expensive one has some nice features. both 2 band shelving and hpf/lpf is a lot of eqing power to be had
had about the same reaction to the metallicer whiskey as friendship

I love this man - a reborn bootsy collins that takes it a step further.
AFIK I think he also had another signature bass - I am super glad fender picked him up because it looks good.
