First Guitar!

I'm 6'3 and with my hand stretched open like the hand of Sauron, from pinky tip to thumb tip is 9 inches. When my hand closes however, the fingers all roll inward and my playable around shrinks into nothingness. I fret my board with my index finger and ring finger nearly exclusively because they are right at a step apart when bent. This is why I generally like small necks on instruments, but due to me playing 5 string so much more now, my preference is slowly changing to enjoy larger necks on 6 string guitars.

Why do I mention this? I do not know. May it benefit you to know this!

I asked evilbassist why he said it twice. He said he didn't.... He said he didn't... Because you see... Boom is so big.... there's an echo.

While you may be tall and can get things off high shelves without a stool, I can climb through a window and photograph you while you sleep.

Ditto!

Since this is a height competition now...6'2" and my hands feel alright on the bigger LP necks. I used to play Jacksons almost religiously, and the lack of thickness would cause my hands to cramp at times.

You big flirt, you.

I'm sorry I responded to this when I coulda just took a snapshot f my erect dick against a tape measure and posted that.

... ... ... ... ... hot

if I were into little boys I would be offering to take you out for a hotdog right now, baby

HAHAHA

whoa

... holy fucking shit i didn't think all gearheads were this hilarious

I'm funnier in person, especially after a couple of drinks. Ask anyone who's worked on music with me. I can be all business when I need to be, but usually I'm pretty fun to make a record with (I remember one time me and a friend bult a potato gun and brought it to a session at a studio out in the country and we terrorized the chimunks with it inbetween takes.... and then there was the 'gross pizza' sessions where we would order a spare pizza with horrible stuff on it like anchovies, pineapples and hot peppers and dare anyone floating around the studio to eat it because it was free! but we would only give them a slice for free if they promised toe at it in front of us and not pick any of the toppings off... starving musicians will eat anything -- remembering this stuff makes me want to engineer some records for other artists again, haha)...

like, I will always go out after a session to party.... I don't like to have drinking in the studio beyond a couple beers to loosen up, but afterwards? when I ran this little, ghetto studio in Trenton me and the clients would go up to the corner bar for last call every night and we got into so much fucking trouble after hours because there was this bartender whow as ina band I sued to do live sound for and he would lock us in with him to 'clean up'... anyway, good times.

PS: I got candy in my band's strip van, little bassist -- and a mattress...

XD yeah when I record it's pretty straightforward, I just go in there dry as a bone and do the whole thing in three takes.

very punk rock of you

i think it's a bass thing. my guitarist takes ten takes and picks his favorite, my rhythm guitarist records a few bars and loops them himself. i just do my thing and then produce the entire record on an aging MacBook.

Going in Dry. That's a good album name.

so should I measure my penis or not? I don't wanna be the only guy posting a dickshot here....

its not a bas thing, I played in a band with a guy who was a very good post-punk bassist in the Peter Hook sense ON STAGE, but in the studio we ahd to replace the bass parts he played with the drummer and me in the live room and then it was 8 million takes and punches in studio B and GAH~! I was really involved in producing that one but I totally bowed out of those sessions and let the engineers handle him, one of them was a bassist.... I went out for sushi those days. Now that guy's not nervous in the studio at all and he will kick out perfect takes with me and a drummer to the point where we can elt his SVT bleed into the room mics without worrying... but back then he couldn't bring his live performance into the studio at all

I am used to traditional studios as a player and I really do as muchas I can with the band live for core tracks, so a lot of the time its a lot of takes until you get one where everyone hits their part well and there's a good feel to everything too... overdubs its more about printing a bunch of different sounds than getting a take, I'm pretty precise on guitar when I make an effort to be... but a lot of the stuff I've played on? once the core band tracks are done its about breaking out a ton of amps and guitars and trying accent parts with every conceivable combination.... nice thing about the computer is you can save everything.... when Iw as a kid we had to commit completely.... these days you can even go DI on a spare track in case you wanna reamp and replace the original amp sound but keep the performance

lately I do everything in my house.... I quit pro music 10 years ago and I'm a single dad now so like. home recording! at home I just do 1 or 2 passes on guitar, its all I have time for, I just leave the amp closet setup and there's some ac30s floating around I can mic up real fast.... I don't have time to be fancy anymore but I also have so much experience now that I can go fast and get results most of the time
