What's on the workbench?

Further to non-players...

I had a short-term contract with a company involved with telecoms, while there they brought in a "consultant". The guy somehow found out I liked guitars so he showed me pictures of his "babies" (in his mid-50s and single, no kids) — he fell in love with a PRS guitar a friend of his had and so he started buying different PRS models in different woods/colours/finishes/configurations. He didn't play. At all. He just liked how they looked.

He had 50+ PRS guitars...


I don't have that many guitars, but then I don't play guitar either and have at least that many pedals...
 
When I bought my oscilloscope one of the negative Amazon reviews was from a person who wanted to use it as a desk ornament....

It didn't make the cool looking waveforms on the screen like the pictures showed... :rolleyes:
Hey! My desk looked really boring with that big plastic box on it.
 
I went to a guitar center in San Francisco a few weeks ago. They had a bunch of Fender custom shop guitars that used to belong to some unnamed chef. They were all really nice. And the salesman told me that the chef had got rid of all his expensive guitars but he kept the most expensive one so he could destroy it. And he did! I bet he didn’t even play them.

I’ve seen you mention before that you don’t play, and always thought it was just a self deprecating joke. Do you really not play guitar at all? What do you run the pedals thru?

I apologize if I’ve asked this before, I feel like I’ve seen the answer before but I don’t recall

r/eurorack in a nutshell. Someone should have introduced that reviewer to a sweetwater gear card and a bunch of trendy oscillators. Who needs sound when you have squiggles? 😂

I know a few cowboy chords, the same ones I learned in my teens decades ago — I have not progressed since then. 😼

I'm a little better at soldering now, though. 😸
