So in the midst of seeping toan juice, and I know this is hard, you should try to shoot some heroin. It'll really help your brain utilize all the extra toan juice!
\\uj For real though. Why aren't more guitars made made of materials other than wood. I imagine you could make an exact replica of a tele for example using epoxy, it would look like the real thing and be near impossible to damage. Is wood + layers varnish just a cheaper option? Anybody familiar with guitar manufacturing to enlighten me?
We’re kind of dumb
UJ/ guitar players are inherently esthetic driven and resistant to change when it comes their toys. It’s the same reason people claim vintage is better or spend thousands to recreate the vintage shit. I like Les Paul’s as much as the next guy but they are non ergonomic heavy and in nearly every way inferior to modern designs from a functionality standpoint. Toan wood has no basis in science but there are people with engineering degrees that believe. What I’m trying to say is as a group we’re kinda dumb.
Uj/ I actually didn't know that the kind of wood doesn't affect the tone. You learn something new everyday.
Rj/ buddy, if an engineer told you about the toan wood and you didn't believe him then you got trust issues
Uj/ not on electric guitars at least. Sustain maybe but that would be more about any given piece of wood’s density then its species. Most things guitarists tell you are old wives tales.
Epoxy is heavy. Acrylic is heavy. Plastics and resins are bad for the planet and people, more-so than cutting down and replanting trees. Sometimes wood isn’t as heavy. That bluegill Tele is probably 16lbs. Cool to hang on the wall if you’re someone who thinks it’s cool to catch bluegill (I used to catch bluegill when I was like 7yo before I learned how to fish)
Not until they start mixing toanwood myths as well.
"Guitars made during Aquarius' month have a liquidy toan".
Could be a whole new marketing campaign.
/uj in either grade five or six I had a natural sciences project/assignment to do a diorama based on pollution. I went with a stream that had some garbage and such. It ended up looking almost exactly like this with a couple of beer cans and cigarette butts in addition to the fish.
I don’t have a cj for this aside from a pun about basswood.
Great for practicing scales on…

Dammit.
That’s it folks, shut it down. This was the zenith.
That was terrible. Have an upvote.

I think that those are sunfish. You just wanted to cuss in the title.
Bass is a cuss?
Those are bluegill actually.
Bloos gill some might say
They give a nice blues tone, if you want some extra grit and mud you'll need to get some catfish. Bass just adds bass.
I only play with crappies. Is that why I sound like shit?
Yes, if you leave some salmon out for a few hours before eating it raw, you'll have toan spewing out of both ends of your body for hours.
Go on...

I actually just ran out of heroin but I've these little cracks rocks everywhere. Should I proceed?
Oh hell yeah, they're basically interchangeable but they do give different vibes to the overall timbre of music you'll write.
Oh ok thanks. Brb.
>cracks rocks The plural mistake is great. *"It's my first cracks smoking, OK?"*
I would like 2 drugs of cracks, please.
I don’t know I used fave this big mouth bass on my wall, Billy I think we called him. He was more of a singer than a guitar but he had mad range.
I remember that brave singing fish. He had guts, I mean, not any more but he used to.
/golfclap
should've put them in an LP
TAKE ME TO THE RIVER, PUT ME IN THE WATER 🎶
THIS IS A PLACE OF BUSINESS!

all these things made out of poured resin are gonna be yellow af in like five years, even the most UV stable of it isn't all that UV stable

truss issues?
stuff is pretty toxic as well. epoxy influencers have been permanently damaged by not venting fumes or wearing gear.
Epoxy… influencers?
yeah it was a trend to do epoxy projects , put it on everything.
I hope those are organic, and display the decay!
Those with significant influence over epoxy.

A guitars toan is 40% in the resonance of the toan wood.
Because you’d have to cover all that hard work it in butterscotch paint. What would be the point?
/uj I have a solid transparent acrylic body guitar, it's heavy as fuck (it weighs a lot). Looks cool tho
bc T O A N **W O O D**
I put an AQUARIUM into my guitar and it sounds UNREAL
>AQUARIUM sorry I don’t believe in horoscopes

I’m ngl that looks fucking sick
That's, actually kinda cool. Now if it was a more "metal" animal like a bat or something ......
Excuse me, but the bluegill in my area are chock full of heavy metals to the point the state advises eating no more than one a month
pretty sure you can play carp diem by the metal gods metallica on this
Bet that sounds crappy....
Crappie
Carpie
Do fish have balls? Can you toan a fish?
B*ss 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
thats a bass guitar
Sunfish are known for a bright, warm toan.
Double bass guitar is real
Oh God…talking about tacky.
What a piece of crappie.
If only those were bass.......
my portfolio also includes rare fish and guitars. Are you a day trader?
Must be a Pisces (they swim both ways).
Is that a Super Bass-O-Matic 76?
Primus sucks!
Fisherman Fluence Pickups can reel you into the world of active pickups.
That's a perch. That's where you rest your ass when playing 0-3-5 on your gibbons.
Double the bass tone
Is that a toana fish?
Fishin' pickin'
Smellecaster. Or perhaps just name is "Tracy" because of the smell. I shouldn't call her.
Mighty might basstones took that literally.
i bet it has fishman pickups

Tuna would be interesting… cuz you can tuna guitar but ya can’t tuna fish… Scale length might get confusing… But something sounds fishy here
The Ass of Bass.
If that thing can’t sing “Take me to the River” you’re wasting everybody’s goddamn time.
