It’s impressive what you can build with basic components and a bit of creativity. Sounds like it was a great project and perfect for your needs at the time!

I've heard great things about their instruments, and it's good to know they work well for you, especially with the string recommendations. I'll definitely check the string specs when I'm ready to buy.

I’m sure it’s a game changer for your recordings!

Sometimes demos just don't do the gear justice. Trying it out in person is definitely the way to go,

I think the creative dissonance from the unison strings going out of tune could lead to some unique sounds. The Vox Phantom 9-string is a cool reference—I’ve heard about it but never seen one in person. As for Taylor, yes, they have the 12-string models where some strings are doubled, but I believe the current GT 8-string baritone has only the middle two courses doubled, creating a blend of textures that's pretty interesting.

Learning multiple instruments really gives you a unique perspective on music. I’ve been focusing on guitar and a few other instruments, and it’s amazing how much it changes the way you approach songwriting and arranging.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Live Anthology is such a fantastic collection. I’m glad you managed to get your hands on it this time around. Teenage Fanclub’s 90s albums are classics too. Sounds like you’ve got some great listening sessions ahead!

That stool sounds amazing! The combination of comfort, style, and functionality with a built-in stand is perfect for long practice sessions. The traditional mortise and tenon joints are a great touch for durability and aesthetics. I might have to look into getting one myself—thanks for sharing!

I agree, Gold Tone is a great company! I've used their instruments as placeholders too, and they never disappoint. I haven't tried their mandocello, but I'm really impressed with their 8-string Hawai'ian lap steel guitar and Irish tenor banjo.

That could be overwhelming sometimes specially when you're not doing music for a living. I find it not worth it to tweak an amp for personal/leisure use. Would agree with me?

Using the Fender Tone software with a USB 2.0 port really opens up a lot of possibilities for customizing and tweaking your amp and effects in real-time.

Oh. I thought it was your band, I kind off like it too.

Thank you for sharing!!! I'm assuming that's you and your band.

Thanks for the explanation! It makes sense that fourths are so common because they match the intervals in guitar tunings. I'll keep in mind that other intervals like fifths and thirds can be used as well.
