Well if he's an owner/employee of the company, TB commercial user policy applies.

If he's an endorser he needs to disclose that as well.

Either way, if you suspect he's got an agenda, I suggest you report him and let the mods decide. Both offenses are bannable I believe.

I have no reason to suspect that he is trying to sell these gizmos. When I said he has an agenda, I mean that he (for whatever reason) wants to convince us that the device is worth the investment, and whatever evidence he provides to support that is therefore suspect, whether he is being intentionally deceptive or not.

Either way, a singleblind comparison may not be as reliable as a doubleblind, but it's significantly more reliable than a not-blind-at-all one...

Not necessarily; it depends entirely on who is blind.

There is pretty much nothing you can do in the video to make me believe in this ...

Careful. That sort of comment will bring on criticism that you don't have an open mind. IMO if you have too much of an open mind, your brains fall out.

40.000 strings, spacing 70ft

If it had been a 5er I'd be all over it

The strings are perpendicular to the fretboard!!??!!??

It's actually a bass harp. Sub-bass.

I just see a 200$ dream catcher.

This appears to be one of those faith-based products. If one believes in it, they will not only play better but be amazed at the tonal improvement. A non-believer will feel and hear nothing different.

The audiophile community, of which I was a card carrying member for many years, is filled with stuff like this.

Wow how did you escape? I thought it was like being in The Mob or something.

You would think that a device with these remarkable, easily demonstrable properties and results - to make an instrument sound better and even make a person play better - would be more widely known and in very great demand. However, there's almost no info avail able on the web.

It's a mystery. Maybe not.

 

[David Jayne]

Tell you what make a box that can play the gigs I'd rather not do and I'm in.

Eddie Van Halen used to put his guitars in front of speakers and blast music through it to swing them in. I couldn't do that to my neighbors

Eddie also vehemently insists he got tongue cancer from holding guitar picks in his mouth, not from a lifetime of heavy cigarette smoking. And that it was cured not by the radiation treatments and excision surgery the doctors did, but by the B12 supplements he took.

Shhhhh...

They're still looking for me.

As crazy as it may seem, i just got tired of it a few years back. For abot 25 years i was always looking for the bestest i could afford, at one point amassing about 45k worth of stereo equipment. When one of my daughters turned 16 i sold a turntable and bought her a car with the money. Mind you, it wasn't a new car, but still, the proceeds of a tt bought a car! How crazy is that.

Over the course of a year or two I enjoyed just listening to music less and less, at least tied to the sweet spot. I still listen to a ton of music but nowadays I'm perfectly content streaming Spotify through my Oontz or a pair of Audio Engines.

To think I used to pay upwards of $1200 for a meter IC. What was I thinking?!?!?

It's actually a bass harp. Sub-bass.

If you ever wanna know what happens when you tune a sub-bass harp bass improperly, just google "Tacoma Narrows Bridge".

 

[DiabolusInMusic]

Hard to play a bass without a bridge.

Has anybody seen the bridge??

Where's that confounded bridge?

 

[gpx1200]

im guessing this thing is bassed on the belief that their are resins moving around in a guitar when you play it, pure B.S. I have cut into many guitars and they do not bleed, it's dry as a bone in there
to me this looks like total high tech snake oil and someone so eager to convince you otherwise is probably feeling a need to justify having just spent $200 on a musical vibrator.
the fact that they claim it will reduce playing fatige just sends the bs meter right off the charts for me

Remember these?

Take it to the BRIDGE!!!!

The device is based on technology developed by the old Rockwell corporation before they merged with Boeing. This video explains the general principles of operation in plain English:

I'd like a transcription of this... any idea where I can get one?

The mom of the guitarist in my first band (of 13 year olds) had one of those. Her sons put that thing to all sorts of, shall we say, "inventive" uses.:***:
