Woah dude are you trippin or what

Thanks!!

I really enjoyed that.

Really.

Let’s also add “stereotypical teenaged purist rants” to the list?

No it’s okay, I’m a joyless cynic and nothing really bothers me anymore.

Minor Administrative Babble: Aside from the possibility of an underdeveloped vocabulary, I can’t determine any real reason for the cursing in your list. I hate to sound a prude, and I’m not about to make a big deal over it, but I think I speak for everyone when I say ‘please try to keep needless obscenities to a minimum.’

Just a thought for the future.

lol, pretty funny really…..I presume most of this is to be taken with a pinch of salt?

for someone so young you sure are a traditionalist. I think my 50 year old guitar playing dentist would probably agree with most of your points.

btw, I own a ‘squire’ (sic) with humbuckers…….I would never play christian rock on it though.

I really feel tempted to challenge at least some of the stuff on the list…

Active Humbuckers – well, on guitar, maybe you’re right, but on bass – no. Bass sounds awesome with actives.
Locking tremolos – what’s wrong with that? I have an Ibanez with a locking tremolo, and don’t use it for bomb-diving and shit, it just stays in tune for weeks. Hell, I play blues and rock on that Ibanez.
The RG2228 is great, and so are many other RG Ibanezes. They just don’t suit every style of music – but then, no guitar does.
Line 6 – the Vetta || blows lots of amps away.
Digitech make excellent beginner multi-effects (I still have my RP50 – it made me understand which effects I like, which I don’t like, what they sound like and stuff). And the Hardwire series are an excellent alternative to BOSS.
Flatwound strings are, as mentioned, indispensable for some styles, besides, I have a fretless guitar – and have to use flatwound strings.
SS amps – JC Chorus. Line 6 Veta II (it’s more than SS – it’s digital!). The Randall V2.
I like thin necks. I like thick necks. Basically, I like necks which feel right, and I guess I’m not alone.
Rackmount equipment is a necessity for some – harmonizers, MIDI switchers, studio-quality reverbs and stuff.

I guess, after all, it’s all just a matter of taste. Just don’t give it out as a fact
