    D'Addario drama...?

    Weird that you are the first one to mention politics. What party is a set of XL Chromes?

    beginning to get better at collaborating with my AI vocalist...

    Inevitable that this will get locked, but your suggestion is hilarious. I guess you could say that if you could not make music yourself you could hire people to make it, but then someone would be getting paid to make music. I will happily be an AI hater in the creative arts. There are use cases...

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    Oh my that is beautiful. I think a 32” Spector is in my future. I have a Reverend Fatfish which I adore, and I honestly love the 32” scale.

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    Yeah, the main rig stays at our drummer’s house. The 25w does what I need it to do at home. And yeah, the color looks different depending on conditions. I also have some purple Christmas light on my guitar hanger above it, which probably doesn’t help

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    Last week had NBD. Spector NS2 Euro Bolt in Haunted Moss. Always been Spector Curious. In NC a month ago and played one in Wilmington, and really caught the buzz.

    Rick Beato’s concerns re UMG and copyright

    Good talk. I mean, you literally said that the fact that the copyright holder is asserting claim means that they are correct, which... I apologize that I used "logic" to refer to your position.

    Rick Beato’s concerns re UMG and copyright

    This is getting old. Using your logic… I’m a batter in a baseball game. The pitcher throws a pitch 3 feet over my head. Umpire yells STRIKE! I say “Um, I’m pretty sure that was a ball.” Ump says “Really? OK, let’s see. Pitcher? What do you think?” The pitcher says “that was DEFINITELY a...
