I know people with money like that that spend $20k on every single signature guitar that comes out, and they don't ever get played. No, I don't get it.

For me, it would definitely be a trip to the custom shop, so I could get exactly the features I want. Vintage instruments are cool, but I personally value customization above all else.

Four tracks are such a vibe. I can still remember me and my buddies using our Tascam back in the 90s. A 30 pack, some pizza, and a bag of smoke, and we were happy all night. We used to make the silliest music. It was awful, but we had so much fun. God I miss those days.

The last meaningful project I used it on was recording a bunch of drum samples from a friend's kit to build a programming library. Best programmed drum sound I've gotten, there was some body to the hits that I didn't get from recording straight through an interface.

Originally posted by Seashore View PostCassettes have been making a comeback for years. There's a market for them. Drawbacks aside, they're a nice analog merch option with much lower outlay than vinyl production. I still have my old dual tape deck from the 90s and I've gotten a few recent tape releases that sound great through my system.

For me, the Fender baked Maple Flat Oval neck. Not because it is not good, but because it's not what I expected.
I guess I wanted it to be a shreddy-feeling neck, but it's not. They do mention in the blurb "it's built for speed", but it's not all that thin. The fretboard is nice because it's not the typical Fender 9.5", but it's not all that flat either. The frets are OK. But the biggest thing I'm disappointed about is it's barely even baked, LOL. It looks more like vintage-tinted neck that's a little more brown than amber than an actual nice and dark caramel-looking piece of baked Maple. It's not all that stable either. It's not terrible, but it's definitely not better than my other guitars.
They do charge extra for the shreddy-wannabe attributes and the baked Maple. I should've just gone for a standard Modern C neck, honestly.Last edited by Rex_Rocker; 10-18-2024, 06:06 PM.

Edit: When you say "15-minute", do mean D-60's or somesuch? I still have an old Tascam PortaStudio. A D-60 becomes 15 minutes because it uses all 4 tracks in one direction and records at double speed.
