I do play acoustics more than electrics, which I will be balancing out, but the main reason why I don't play a lot of electric guitar is simply because I haven't found anyone here with whom I can jam. Sitting on my couch going deedly-deedly gets boring after a while. I am very unfocused in my playing these days. I lack almost all motivation to play, and have considered, on more than 1 occasion, selling most of my guitars and recording equipment.Hink wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 4:22 pmI'm sorry I can barely remember my own guitars, memorizing other's would short circuit something...I'd probably spend a month searching my house for one of your guitarsBombadil wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 3:34 pmYou've seen my collection, no.
I did. Two Seagulls, Gertrude and Heathcliff. Couldn't stand the headstock after a while, the S12 smelled like freshly sawn timber, not in a good way. The other, Heathcliff, I sold because it just sounded tinny to my ears. My fave guitars from Godin were Normans.
I sold Seagulls at two different stores, I know what you mean about the smell but that's the cedar. When I was at ft hood in Texas cedars were everywhere, the medic actually explained to me after complaining about headaches when we were in the field that cedar messes with some people's sinuses, I know I cant stand a cedar closet.
I think some of the seagulls sounded great and I liked the necks a lot, in this area at that time it was by far the best value for a new solid top imo, especially with the exchange rate then between canada and the u.s. I could make more money selling seagulls then martin or taylors, the latter were awesome for getting my sales total up to make my draw but the PM on the seagulls was fantastic (once I made my draw commission % was based on PM, do you want fries with that).
You're far more of an acoustic player than I am so it's more critical to you, my acoustic will likely get far more lost in a mix. I am hoping to stumble on a Daion acoustic used in a pawn shop or in classifieds because very few people really knows what they are, but I wouldn't be surprised if one day I pick up a seagull, without electronics.

I'm not actually upsizing. I am selling an Epi Casino w/Bigsby to offset the cost of the Eastman—should I decide to keep it. Instead of 9 acoustics and 7 electrics, it will be 10 and 6 respectively. I can't really see myself selling another electric, unless it is replaced with another one. At 6 electrics, I feel like I am down to the (lol) essentials, and selling another for another acoustic would leave a gap that I would eventually feel the compulsion to fill, which would thrill my wife.

Keeping the balance.
How does one jam via the interwebs? Is it a real time thing?
Is materialism devouring your musical output?

Outside of the Rat, Vibratrem, and Phase 90, everything on this board has been acquired in the last year or so, including the modular pedalboard itself.

When I use wall warts, I get too much noise. How do people get around that?

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

I have had that issue only a couple times, I think always with multi-voltage universal power adapters. A third ground is simply not needed...if you want to read more people explaing why here
