Stripey Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Everyone knows that the most important aspect of any musical instrument is what it looks like. For example, here is a track I was working on the other day, fucking cool isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripey Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 What is that?It's an old german tuner, you choose the note with the bit at the top and blow into it to generate the tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Fecker Imprecision Bass, ...Where did you get the decal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Where did you get the decal?eBay user plankspanker101. He has a default set of ones (including the infamous "Jizz Bass") but did this custom request for me for a little bit extra above his usual ones. Good quality printing and good quality decal, application was a doddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibbytam Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 this site could do with less pointless pictures of guitars and amps and more actual fucking sounds that you people are recording. get a life.True, but then not everyone is making nice sounds. Or indeed any recorded sounds. And there's some nice looking guitars, make me think what I might buy the next time i have money. Suppose the next thread should be 'the actual fucking sounds you people are recording, get a life'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 this site could do with less pointless pictures of guitars and amps and more actual fucking sounds that you people are recording. get a life.again the question must be asked....why should how, when,where and in fact if people produce music, should it fit in to your blinkered view of whats right, Im sure that many people on here will never play in a band or to an audience or record anything, I came into that catagory until I was 40 I now play in a band covering other peoples music which we will never record. I love seing other peoples guitars, they are a a personal thing that can be modified and customised to suit an individual and I like to see what the play them through..I wouldnt on the other hand like to look at pictures of laptops samplers or sound modules...yawn... nor am I interested in music produced using just the above tools but have no problem with anyone wanting to do that. I suspect that coming on to these threads you are just looking to annoy folk, it seems a little odd that you appear on these threads every single time when its quite apparent they will be filled with pictures and comments about peoples guitars and amps, so really I believe its you who needs to "get a life" or at the very least avoid threads that you think might contain "pointless pictures"I could have condenced the above into three words.........YOUR A KNOB!

Stripey Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I wouldnt on the other hand like to look at pictures of laptops samplers or sound modulesyes, and neither would I. You miss the point I was making, which is that giving a crap about what your gear looks like is misguided, lame, and IMO just compensating for where you are lacking in other areas. Then again, of course, I'm forgetting being a musician is 98% image, 1% talent and 1% creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course you really do disagree and think that what your instrument looks like is more important than what it sounds like? And that showing off pictures of your material possessions is anything other than boring and sad.Also, I don't need to justify my approach to ignorant people like you who don't have the slightest clue about modern production techniques and whos understanding of the digital studio is rooted in misconceptions that have more in common with the 80's than how people work now. If you think it's all about sampling bars of people playing instruments then looping them, I feel sorry for you being so out of touch with the reality of making music in this day and age.

Stripey Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 This argument is pointless....I didnt go off at any tangent about production methodsYou did, and it's because the only comeback you ever have is "oh but you make music on a COMPUTER!". And it is quite clear you don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about when you come out with rubbish like "if it wasn't for musicians you wouldn't have anything to sample".This thread and the others like it would be equally as pathetic if people were posting pictures of their car, their tv or any other thing they've just bought in a shop and use to prop up their fragile egos.
