So I know I'm not the only one on the site that's a musician, and I want to see you's guys's setups. :crackup:

 

I'll start, I've got lots of pictures, as always. :D

 

I play bass and guitar, mosly bass, been playing in bands since I was 10 (7 and a half years), and I've been playing guitar casually for about 4 years. I've accumulated a decent amount of gear over that time period. :crackup:

 

Instruments -

 

My main instrument is my Dean Edge Select 4 string. It's nothing really special, but It's a freaking tank, sounds good, and is comfortable.

My favorite thing about it, the neck-thru construction. :troll:

I've also got a Michael Kelly 5-string, acoustic/electric fretless, pretty unique combo.

The fingerboard inlays are TITS.

Now for the guitars. In 8th grade, I built a Thinline Fender Tele. Still needs to be set up professionally, but it's got a cool tone to it.

Ibanez RG 570, by far the easiest guitar to play, EVER.

Ibanez AW series acoustic/electric:

Ovation Celebrity 12-string acoustic/electric, from some time in the 1980s, given to me by my Cousin-in-law.

Check out the awesome 80s pre-amp! :lol:

Gallien-Kreuger 700RB bass head. For 600 bucks, this thing sounds AMAZING and has a ton of power.

Cabs - Hartke Transporter 2x10 (part of my practice rig)

GK Backline 4x10

Homemade 1x15, covered in Astroturf :crackup:

 

Practice rig in my basement:

And the cab that gets taken to shows (the 1x15 will join in for outdoor gigs)

Astroturf! :crackup:

This is the sight when you walk into my basement (obviosly not everything's mine)

Great stuff man. No gigs this direction for many years.

 

What about that hippie-circle in the park with the Martin? :troll:

 

Not exactly a gig. We play around a little... that's about it. In my early daze I did a lot of sound work at Pecan Street Studios in Austin. Good times but unfortunately not very good paying times!

All I have left is an old beat up accoustic that I drag out a couple of times a month, and definately not worthy of posting a pic of. I sold all my good stuff years ago. Guild, I had an electric & an accoustic, Sigma accoustic, '59 Fender Strat, '67 Gibson Les Paul, Marshall 1/2 stack, Fender Twin. Both the Marshall and Fender Twin were tube amps, distortion like a sob. I miss playing sometimes. I had a band back in the mid '80's called "Powderburn" due to all the cocaine that was always floating around. Three of us got together about 2 yrs ago and jammed on accoustics. That was fun, and it sure brought back some memories. We actually sounded pretty good for not playing together for 20 yrs. I have a video of it on vhs, and sometimes I'll sit back and watch it. Keep up the good work Dan, and stay away from the drugs, they'll ruin you.

OK, here you go. Keep in mind that all three of mine were probably had for less than one of yours, Dan :dunno:

 

The beater electric/accoustic:

The wonder from the 80s:

My baby (I need to take the time and redo the electronics in it):

I have about $700 into the three of them. Since I haven't been in a band in 15 years, I'm all about bang for the buck, since they're toys, not tools :lol:

Noice, is that the dark cherry or whatever it's called on the Paul? I love the grain. :dunno:

 

And it wouldn't be an '80s guitar without the Floyd Rose. :lol:

mmmm....This is beautiful....fretless too.....

 

I used to play with an Ibenez/ Hartke. :dunno: I got rid of my stuff years ago, when I had a some nerves and tendons in my left hand cut up in a winching accident.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
