It means you should worry about more important stuff like playing and composing. No one will ever be impressed or even be aware that you've managed to find the perfect pickup for your guitar that has a +1.3141db boost at 1742.235hz that you can perfectly A/B blindfolded against your other 500 pickups.
To make my point clearer, I'm not writing this for those chasers' sake, if your goal is to collect guitars and gear and listen to minute details - that's fine. If your goal is to practice and write music, worrying about shit like this is extremely counterproductive. There is such a thing as "good enough" where none of your little problems are a limiting factor to what you're trying to achieve.

Really? Morality?What game? So legal = moral in ur book? I understand there is some wiggle room, but making outrageous claims merely for more clicks is not acceptable imo.
I do believe in the sense of community, say like the one we have here in SSO. Integrity does matter, at least what I like to believe.Really? Morality?
Having the opinion that tube type and pickups are t that important in the scheme of guitar tone isn't outrageous either.

Well saidI've done my part to avoid the YouTube Guitar Influencer circle jerk, I wish it wouldn't spill over so much.
None of these chodes actually believe any of this shit, it's just for clicks and to get the guitar nerdo-sphere worked up.
It's a self feeding engine by a bunch of dipshits and the absolute most cringe part of being a guitar player.
Last summer was probably the first time I've been to a festival where this didn't happen (I go to Bloodstock every year and occasionally Download). I did hear "Fuck off sun!" many times though.One time i went to Download Festival in the UK. Think it was 2009. Next to where I put my tent, was a guy from Scotland who had put up a full Gaezbo setup with his tent
day 2, I wake up at around 9am to someguy shouting and swearing at the top of his voice?. I went outside the tent to see what was happening and it turns out my camping Neighbor was already drunk, sitting on a deck chair, screaming at the sky. He was literally shouting for some clouds to fuck off etc.
Including giving the sun the middle finger - all this happening in a Glaswegian accent made it even more hilarious.
anyway, this random guy and his opinions on the clouds, were more informative than Glenn
Bass pickups don't matter when you're playing tracks on Metallica's "And Justice for All".
Off topic but damn I find bloodstock superior.Last summer was probably the first time I've been to a festival where this didn't happen (I go to Bloodstock every year and occasionally Download). I did hear "Fuck off sun!" many times though.
probably, but they're also the kind of people who will create no matter what. if nolly and misha weren't currently rocking the highest end stuff they possibly could, they'd still make music with what they had, which i think is something that a lot of people get caught up inMisha... Nolly... also good examples. Putting out more music than basically anyone else here... also anal about the details.
