I work at a company that manufactures headlamps. The lenses are injection molded from polycarbonate, which has good strength, thermal and optical characteristics, but poor scratch and UV resistance. The coating is a UV-cured hardcoat that adds protection for both. The coating does degrade...

Gerber needle nose multi-plier. Announce your presence when you whip it out with that satisfying 'click'.

The Plum Bobs

I was thinking more along these lines . . .

The first rule of Hoarder Club . . .

It absolutely needs tort, and I absolutely would pay no more than $20 for it. ⚖️

I find less and less enjoyment from music myself, and some of that is due to the technology required/expected. I will be an early adopter of AI-assisted production software--assuming I still have enough interest at that time. I actually anticipate a market for that type of AI application...

Meaty Okra (Great for a Cajun band)

A. I wasn't aware that use of a capo automatically precludes the possibility of playing a song in the same key as the original recording. But I'm barely a bass player, let alone a musician. B. I don't think I've ever been in nor ever will be in a band with someone who gets a band audition song...

Taken in the right context this is as good advice as you can get. Don't overthink it. Just use the right type of tool for the job.

You have 'post-concert amnesia'. That's all. Why You Can't Remember That Taylor Swift Concert All Too Well

I bought a Stingray 5 off a guy in Lexington KY. His story about the bass is that he got it off a friend who was hired to play with Marty Stuart. The guy shows up for the first rehearsal with the Stingray. He seemed to think it went OK. He shows up for the second rehearsal and Marty hands...

Jaco only needed four important strings.

I am currently heeding right now at the present time as we type. (But shipping form 40°F Indiana town to 50°F Indiana town into a 70°F Indiana house--I hope the instrument is sturdy enough to withstand much worse than that. But it was raining, so I'll give you that.)

I don't care--as long as there is an app to digitally fire the AI drummer. But yes--I see the future being your computer generating a backing band for you to play along/record with, and songwriting being a plugin for that. Each musician will have an avatar that can be edited, so you can crank...
