My first ever recording. Done using only a laptop. It's about 10 years old. Don't turn it up too loud.

reminds me of,...

here in my car, i feel safest of all!

Can I have the ones you took off? I might be able to break them in after only another year of playing.

No sponge available? That’ll deaden em deader.

Never heard of that trick before.

 

[HipHugHer]

What?


Sponge or foam under the strings at the bridge. The thicker or more dense the foam the more it deadens.

Ah yes that I have heard of. Never thought of using a sponge but I've tried it with foam. To me it didn't sound like a dead string thud, more of a lifeless cloonk.

I love describing subjective sounds.

Maybe try smaller size pieces of different/lighter sponges. Doesn't take much just to reduce a little treble and sustain without running all the way into lifeless cloonk.

This cab is broke. I need to get a new female plug for it. But for now it functions as a chair for the computer, bench for the keyboard, and a weight bench. It would be easy to fix but atm it has plenty of functions.

Seems whenever I hear complaints about TC electronics gear, it's almost always about the jacks breaking.

 

[Strings]

I fixed it, Eddie.
That spell check can get ya if you're not paying attention.

Well I put that one in like 3 years ago. Salvaged it from a Berhinger. Though i put it in the Beringer over 10 years ago. Cheapest one I could find back then.

damn bass players always quick to jack off.

We're low like that.

You wanna start the innuendos now or wait a bit?

OMG - what a small world moment. I was standing in the parking lot of the warehouse for the new job, waiting for some roofers to show up. Guy gets out of a car and is heading toward the building across the way "isp Technolgies" with a guitar in hand. I speak up,"I remember being able to take a guitar into work". We start talking, then his wife shows up - they OWN ISP. Makers of some of @Strings and @adi's favorite toys. I think. Now I'm hoping to snag a rebuild of their website. Damn is it crap.

It’s good to know Louis CK found work, even if it is as a cartoon pedal pedaller.
