SP were a band put together by the owners of a London clothes shop to advertise boots and ripped t-shirts to teenagers.
They were sellouts before even beginning their carreer.

    don't know how else to interpret that.

    It involves assuming the point of view of a misoginist who feels entitled to be misoginistic. I know it's not a position you thought you'd end up when you woke up this morning, but trying to understand what's going on in other people's head is a first step towards fighting intolerance.

    I said think gold digging brings misoginy by consequence, I never said I think it justifies it.
    Don't put words in my mouth just to cry for a cause there is no need to fight here.

    And as a side, I always found the phrase "don't hate the player, hate the game" as dumb as the culture who coined it: who the hell is playing the game? The spectators? Of course you hate the players, they're the only reason the game is being played!

    I want to share with you my favourite setup that I ever had: my couch rig.
    This few things create the perfect comfort and focus zone, allowing me to practice and write pieces for my band without distraction but still being able to play a nice variety of sounds.

    My guitar is a modded Ibanez RC320, the pickups are Bare Knuckle True Grit Humbuckers with coil split.
    The star of the show is my Boss Dual Cube LX: great sound, fooswitchable channels and loop, can be connected via cable to any USB-C device (I use my phone or tablet) so I can play backing tracks or record what I'm playing if I need to share it with the other guys.
    And since BOSS still refuses to make amps with a tuner, I use the direct input with a tuning app, Michael Moessner's Tuner, it's on F-Droid and it's great.

    The best rig is the one that makes you want it to play all the time, and this is it for me.
    Let's see yours.

    P.S.
    I never understood the need for a wireless system until I got a cat.

     

    So, I'm a sucker for cheap and quirky Ibanez models, my favourite guitar I own is my Roadcore series RC302, that I got for a steal and modded the hell out of it.

    But now, a new challenger approaches.
    A couple weeks ago I finally found the guitar that held the 1st spot in my bucket list for some years: the Ibanez TM303M, also known as the Nashville Talman.
    For those who don't know, this guitar was issued with the respin of the Talman series, a design inspired by old-school Fender models, with the classic alder body and bolt on maple neck, that had very limited runs. This particular one was produced for just a couple years from 2016 to 2018 and it took me a lot of patience to find one.

    The thing that fascinated me about this model, besides its captivating looks, is its circuit: while in stock Nashville Telecasters the middle pickup is usually activated via push-pull knob or with a 5-way switch in a Strat-like combination, here it is controlled by its own volume pot, allowing it to be blended in with any other classic Tele position and giving the guitar more tonal flexibility.
    If you're interested in the schematics I found this on Seymour Duncan's site.
