RE: Slash Matters/cat 5 guitar leads
Title: Re: Slash Matters
>> Not to mention his
impact on the top hat market. <<
guitar stylings stolen from page and perry, image a mish-mash of
johnny thunders and noddy holder... and gibson are holding him up as some sort
of guitar hero? GnR may have sold millions of albums, but gibson's use of slash
in their PR is an insult to les paul.
and all this bullshit about superior digitisation
happening inside the guitar.... it's just made me feel more strongly that gibson
lost the plot in 1959 and have never got it back. I can only imagine that the PR
we all just read was written out long-hand by a non-musician; there's no way any
self-respecting live-performing guitarist with any experience of computer
networks would've written that bad-science drivel.
the idea of taking a
computer onstage is bad enough- even "dedicated" hardware with any sort of
processor onboard is asking for trouble somewhere down the line- but relying
absolutely on it to extract a performance from the sacred piece of wood..... no
thanks.
tried a variax in a shop
a few days ago- it's like a dog walking on it's hind legs. good trick, but now
can I have a real '68 rick please? at least until line6 come up with a neck that
changes profile too....
