Finally got my hands on a standard, really impressed with it, lovely to play.
Gear
It is AAAA flame (though quite subtle for that grade) 2016 Les Paul HP Standard. Picked her up second hand at a reasonable price and really impressed. Donāt even mind the robot tuners which have been quite divisive from what I have readā¦
Iāve seen some Gibsons with those auto tuners go for reasonable prices on the used market lately. Seems like it would be really helpful, especially if you used a lot of alternate tunings.
Iāve found it great, tunes perfectly and quickly and switching to open G for a bit of Stones is a breeze.
Many bongs and jars of weed. The sitar was a gift. Weāre a sort of an instrument repository for family and friends and sometimes strangers. Thereās a fold up pump organ around here somewhere.
Really canāt say enough about the katana mk2. So much amp for the money.
The Scarlett 2i2 is nice and simple to use as well.
I got the same Scarlett device for Xmas to replace an aging Tascam. Sadly, havenāt used it yet. Howās yours working out?
Really liking it so far, very simple to use and sound quality good via headphone monitoring. Latency non-existent. Pro Tools first that came with it not compatible with Windows 10 2004 so got cakewalk instead. Early days, but good so far.
Why does everything have to be āartisan agedā or whatever they call it. Iām just not into the dishonest wear thing.
Got my banjo adjusted and set up. Iām enjoying playing it. It is a 4-string Framus that my uncle gave to me. Iāve been messing around with different tunings, which is kind of fun.
GDAE is my new favorite.
Kalamazoo is getting a new hotel āReverbā by Hard Rock, supposedly. It is a really interesting idea and would be great for that side of town⦠if not the whole area. People have been talking about having a concert venue that brings in high quality musicians, along with a place to stay, eat and drink. The fact that it is connected to a Gibson guitar museum of sorts along with a way to view the Heritage guitar factory from the lobby/restaurant sounds oddly appealing. Iām skeptical, but I really hope this works out.
