I dont typically post a lot but as I go through school for lutherie, I have definitely learned a few things about guitar players. We all think we know everything about guitars (at least I felt like I knew most of it). We do not🤣 the more I repair instruments that people have attempted to repair before me, the more I have come to the conclusion that guitar players can tinker themselves into a hell of an expensive bill. My intent is not to ruffle feathers but to mearly point out the fact that as guitar players the quest for more knowledge and the need to customize things can really get us into trouble. Has anyone else had this with their own instruments?

My son (15), has taken up playing the bass this year. He has excelled so quickly that he is now in a really good band. I’m very proud. For his birthday, I want to give him a bass I built. My question for everyone here is, have you ever built a kit bass? I bought a kit and have decided to upgrade the pickups to Seymour Duncan SPB-3 quarter pounders, Gotoh tuners, a Gotoh bridge and Seymour Duncan pots. I will line the electronics with copper tape also. I will be finishing it in heavy metallic flake purple (similar to the purple on old Road Runner cars called Plum Crazy). I want this to be a great bass for him. What am I missing or not considering? Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer!

How do you feel about VSTs do you use them in your DAWs or do you stick to traditional rackmount or pedalboard for your effects?? Are you using any MIDI peripherals, i like how they enhance the DAW experince..

It’s always difficult for me to share my songs for a couple of reasons; 1) I feel vulnerable to harsh criticism and 2) I like to write, but don’t like the tone of my own voice. That said, this group has been encouraging to everyone. So here it is, please listen and let me know what you think. The song is called ‘Don’t be a dick.’ Thank you in advance for listening!
