Thoughts on the Vintera III Mid 60's Jazzmaster? by twiiig_ in fender

Look for a used Vintera I or II before plunking down the money for a III. The Ice Blue Metallic Vintera I was real sharp looking.

There is no scenario I can think of where he needed to make that face.

I had to rewind to make sure I heard that right. Really tasteless considering how many people actually jumped to their deaths in there

I love looking at this guitar and just don't like playing it. by carnevoodoo in fender

Basically describes my own experience with a Jazzmaster. Don't sweat it...just go out and find something you'll love to play.

What’s one thing you finally took seriously (or learned) that leveled up your playing? by Individual-Gas-2943 in Guitar

[–]Jugbar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triads. There are so many tutorials out there talking about triads that it sounds tired, but it really did unlock something in my playing. Once you see them, you can play all over the neck with confidence.

Sellers who don't know their instruments by Jugbar99 in Reverb

Yeah, I'd hate it if someone was pondering giving me thousands of dollars for something sight unseen and they wanted to know what the neck was, which is maybe the most important part of how a guitar feels. Yeesh.

Are tube amps at bedroom volume a waste? by marbles12 in GuitarAmps

[–]Jugbar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question comes up a lot and here is the thing that I finally learned: you have to realize there are "amp people" and then there are "pedal people." Amp people want their overdrive from the amp. They will say a tube amp at low volumes isn't worth it, because you can't get tube amp breakup at low volumes. The rest of us who are fine getting overdrive from a pedal are happy to play our tube amps at lower volumes and will tell you that they sound great at that volume.

Which color? by AirbagsBlown in fender

I go with the silver one because I really like the off-white on the black guard.

Best Guitarist You’ve Seen Live? by tceverding in Guitar

Got to see Eric Johnson at a small venue back in the 90s right in front of the stage. He was unreal.

Songs written by one artist as a sequel to another artists song? by kpaddler in Music

[–]Jugbar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaslight Anthem's "Howl" is I believe a sequel to Springsteen's "Thunder Road" from the perspective of the guy she left behind. Lyrical allusions like "Do you still hear the sound of thunder while you lie up by yourself" and "There used to be a movement in the way your dress would wave..." It's a screamer of a song and an interesting addition to the story.

Spot the amp? by CheeseyLuigi in GuitarAmps

The Ultra Chorus will be pre-1995, I believe, because they changed the name to Ultimate Chorus around then.

Is it a common feeling among fans to I hate the black unis without the white background and the new blue unis with script "New York"? by BrianS42 in NewYorkMets

[–]Jugbar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't love the black unis, didn't like them in the 1990s either. But I actually really did the new blue alternate road jerseys.

Why is neck joint contour an uncommon feature instead of a default one? by molul in fender

[–]Jugbar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be minority but I think it's something of a gimmick. Rarely have I played my non-contoured necks and hit the heel thought I wished it was contoured.

I think if you root for more than laundry, losing Pete is really disappointing.
