It's so hard to look at a twisted neck like that. Maybe it's fine, but aesthetically it just feels wrong. Peak "it's not a bug, it's a feature"!

 

[BlackMastodon]

Agree that at first glance it looks wrong and like someone really fucked up with the humidity controls in the shop, but the more I think about it the more I'd wanna try it out and think it would actually be quite comfortable. Either way, I think it's innovative and a cool innovation for trying to make basses more ergonomic.

Damn I didn't think they were still around... I don't like looking at it but I do wonder how they feel to play.

That is one tessellated neck
idk man it sounds like a cool idea and I'm always down to see folks trying new stuff but this does just feel...strange. I feel like dialing in action would be an absolute nightmare, no? How's the truss rod going to work?

Adulthood is having to choose between a sick new guitar and funding your Roth IRA

Adulthood is having to choose between a sick new guitar and funding your Roth IRA

Certainly, and adults need to act responsibly and to weigh the certitude of each decision:
-If you buy said sick guitar, you will play it an enjoy it- guaranteed (save for QC issues, etc.)
-Will you live to retirement age? Will you get to retire? Will the tax advantages at time of retirement plan be worth it? With the investments within the IRA appreciate more than that of what will eventually be a vintage guitar? Impossible to know- don't bother.

That said, I dump a lot into my retirement plans which have all but guaranteed that I am dying the day before I can touch the money.

Naw, the Roth IRA is for your sick future guitar.

It's still your estate's. Make a kid happy or get an endowed professorship in your name or... I dunno.

Student grants are one thing, but what do big dicked teachers have to do with retirement funds??

Of course that was a joke. But wouldn't your friends be impressed when they realize there's a BlackMastodon Professor of Physics at Harvard?

Yeah, but I'm married, so my wife is just going to blow it all at TJ Maxx when she turns 59 and a half anyway.

Found this to be the only interesting nugget of news this morning

Meanwhile females in intel have been absolutely stacking bodies for the last 30 years, but it's not a photo op so nobody cares.

At least her/your dollar will go pretty far there!

This appeared in my recommended, anyone know what guitar this is?

Around 1:12 you can see the headstock logo, it's not familiar to me, though.

Just be glad you won't be alive to go through the living hell of life in a house stacked to the ceiling with TJ Maxx "bargains".
