Never gave myself a proper introduction/misanthropic rant thread
- Thread starter Craysh3
- Start date
Just for future reference... I build my own analog gear - compressors, preamps, EQ, and so on - and study audio engineering in my own time (with a background of mathematics and physics) so I know a little bit about what I'm talking about there. Mindlessly bashing digital recording equipment just for being digital is a great sign of one who wants to be a 'purist' but doesn't have the competence.
As for Yamaha guitars... any good reason why you're bashing them?

Chris Poland plays Yamaha guitars, doesn't he?
I've always held this conclusion with those types of "lower end" models: a great player can make almost any guitar sound good. I know so many people with 2000 dollar guitars that sound like shit.

Janvs? Can't say that I have the foggiest idea. Is it a band, a person, an organization?

It's an Italian black metal band. A friend of mine just loaned me their newest album and it's really quite awesome. I figured you'd heard of them since they're from your neck.

No offense to the lovely Karen, but I think Kevin's hair wins (by a hair, if you'll pardon the joke).

You make men gay by your very presence here, so you'd have to stop posting to totally un-gay the place

*ungays the thread*

Stormo is awesome in my book.

Jeff - Back in high school, the only electric guitar that got donated to the school's music program was a yamaha strat knockoff, and it was in immaculate condition when we got it, and everyone was excited as shit to give it a whirl. Not even two weeks pass by, and the stock neck pickup on it went haywire, and the bridge was warped out of fucking wack and it didn't even have a wammy bar on it. I know the music kids around, and everyone's always careful as shit around the instruments, especially when a new one comes around. It's not a matter of more money means better guitar, its a matter of Yamaha specifically becoming one of those "no-name/president's choice" supercompanies which decides that it's profitable to manufacture anything and everything at a shitty quality, but people will still buy it because its relatively cheap. Let's say it costs about $150 new. You could get a used Ibanez RG270 on ebay for around that much, and suffer from a lot less frustration than this piece o crap.
Var - Just fuck off and die already, I've had enough of your haircut philosophies around this thread. If you can't get a job without having getting a haircut around your place, that says a lot about your talents and academic reputation, methinks... Also, no one likes a hypocrite who tells one person with long hair to cut theirs off whilst complementing another's long due.

:erkstrocity:I probably shouldn't mention, then, the RG321 that I played frequently in high school (costing twice that) that was always at least somewhat out of whack. Making generalizations based on one experience is a great way to look like a hopeless twit.
I can see the connection you're making with companies that don't have problems letting their products turn to shit (although their mid-to-high-end basses and the AES series guitars sound and play beautifully), but the fact that you named Yamaha before Fender and Gibson (especially considering that it's rarely the high-end guitars that get donated to school music programs) based on one experience doesn't look too nice. The fact that you turn around and bring in *Ibanez* for comparison, too, is just hilarious.
On top of that, as far as being a ponce about 'haircut philosophies' (*twitch*) you're digging your own grave.
Enjoy being 18 and thinking you know far more than you actually do... it doesn't last long.

It's a Nevermore forum! Everyone here should be a ponce about haircut philosophies. Ibanez was my first guitar, and my best buddy's 2nd (owned a squire first, hence one of my fucks going out to that company as well), and I would stand by my opinion of Ibanez being a damn notch better in the price-to-quality ratio from Yamaha. I can't believe this is even arguable. And you have long hair too! This is a Nevermore forum, we should all be pillaging and raping the villages of whoever posts around here with short hair. This is just an unnecessary mutiny against my firmly held beliefs of long haired supremacy. Yeah, I'm 18, and no, I'm sure that my life experience around this kinda gear isn't as vast and omniscient as yours undoubtedly is, so next time I'll remember that too many people take fuck x lists more seriously than need-be.
