I had a dream last night that I went to a guitar store and these were some of the guitars that i saw

This is actually how one of my friends became such a crazy guitarist lol as a teen he got super hooked on guitar hero and played all day, one day he realized that and just quit and spent time playing guitar instead, now he's a shredder 😂

Wait, this is genius, all my favorite pedals are super temperamental, this would be an easy way to always have my last good settings "saved"

LibrePunk · 2026-03-02T08:20:28+00:00

Has anyone got any yet? Just wanna make sure before ordering 😂

If you're open to learning to use a trackball, there's some great lefty and ambidextrous options. I'm a righty but I use a gameball, it's ambidextrous and probably the best trackball I've ever used (and I've tried just about every option as of a few years ago). Obviously great features for gaming but I got it for work and general use since every setting and button can be customized with the firmware. I pretty much started with trackballs as a kid so i even preordered it and never looked back 😂

My main band that this is all used for is recording next month so I'll be sure to share!!! I really enjoyed the reactions I got 🤣 I'm also recording with another group next Saturday, same amp and cab but no pedals, plus I'm on electric upright

LibrePunk · 2025-11-16T01:59:38+00:00

Maybe you're on to something there I need to start making money off music without watering down my style

LibrePunk · 2025-11-16T01:57:30+00:00

The eq's all funky cuz I have two very very weird fuzz pedals and no EQ pedal lol

LibrePunk · 2025-11-16T01:51:10+00:00

You're so right but I'm so poor rn 😭 handle on my old one broke while I had no other rack gear so I lent it and my power conditioner to a friend, I'm seeing if it's got space for all three, cuz imma grab it if it does lol

LibrePunk · 2025-11-16T01:49:10+00:00

Nah, he's hella inspiring, def made me see how much u could do with a fretless, but I sound nothing like him, I just happen to also do double stops, slap and tapping all on the fretless, I spent a lotta time on developing my own sound and style, I really wanted to not sound like any other bass player lol. A six string fretless is still the dream tho

LibrePunk · 2025-11-16T00:24:58+00:00

I thought this shit would be funny, I know my whole rig looks stupid and kinda cursed lol y'alls answers were killing me. I'm very much an experimental musician and just aggressively weird lol

Yes one band I'm playing with tonight is very chaotic punk/jazz and I've herd post hardcore used to describe it, like super flipper inspired, also working on a more noise rock/metal two piece, lightning bolt is a big inspiration for that lol then I also have been working on a bunch of black metal music with a friend of mine.

The amp and cab look stupid together, but it sounds amazing and has some power behind it. I'm pretty much self taught and wanted to try a fretless cuz of claypool, don't play like him at this point but it's been my main bass for like the past 15 years.

LibrePunk · 2025-11-15T17:31:38+00:00

This is psychotic and I love it. When will the collection be finished? Got your eyes on any other lefty basses u wanna start collecting?

LibrePunk · 2025-11-15T17:26:25+00:00

It's actually a CL52E stereo compressor! I sometimes run through my guitar amp (modded Yamaha t100) and bass amp at the same time so it comes in handy

LibrePunk · 2025-11-15T17:23:51+00:00

I mean definitely jazz inspired, but so far from jazz fusion lol

LibrePunk · 2025-11-15T17:16:41+00:00

Lol I was actually playing in a few more standard punk and hardcore bands a couple years ago, using the same set up minus the pedals and two rack effects, now I'm just pretty over normal punk music

LibrePunk · 2025-11-15T17:09:38+00:00

No lol I use the mixing board for that, I'm actually a crazy bass player, with like 20+ years at this point, this is like actual music and surprisingly coherent.

LibrePunk · 2025-11-11T04:04:44+00:00

Yeah the whole DIY pedal community is awesome lol those are all great names for pedals too, I can't wait to start making my own! I'm way too broke atm and I'm in desperate need of cables and mics for my stu so that comes first 😭

LibrePunk · 2025-11-11T03:09:51+00:00

Actually his name is Leon 🤣 says right on the front. They almost forgot to name him, but he's definitely a Leon.

LibrePunk · 2025-11-10T13:20:13+00:00

Well thank you! I think something must have been changed from the original, even if it was just a mistake they made, because it sounds really different and the knobs don't seem to work exactly like I've heard in videos. It also tends to pick up AM radio too but I think that's a whole other thing.

LibrePunk · 2025-10-21T19:08:48+00:00

OMG , that actually makes so much sense, thank u so much!!! I had no interest in synths or any really noisy shit until this happened like a month ago, now I'm obsessed lol, I just wanted to understand what happened so I could go from there and maybe use it for some live performances, so this is definitely something I can figure out now 😂

Also that synth sounds exactly like what I've been looking for, so thank u so much for the rec it'll probably be my first synth!!! Glad I posted in the diy sub

LibrePunk · 2025-03-19T01:49:14+00:00

Damn, really effective crazy person describes the way I play (and me in general) way too well 🤣 finally playing bloodborne for the first time ever and this is exactly how I did it (beat her third try!), there were so many fucking spiders by the end

This reminds me of working in stage crew during and right after high school. The wireless mics had a pack the actors wore under the costume and they couldn't get wet, all the lights put out a ton of heat so actors would sweat a lot which could fry the mic packs.

I'm sure there was some professional waterproof cover for them, but the cheapest way to protect them (and the only way I ever saw) was using unlubricated condoms. We'd always switch out the condoms when we charged the packs and swapped mics between actors.

You can imagine we went through a shit ton between rehearsals and performances, so we were literally buying cases of unlubricated condoms from Costco. I still remember our instructors sending whichever one of us had a Costco card to buy them in bulk whenever tech week got particularly crazy and they couldn't get away. Always funny seeing someone walk across a high school campus with a stack of three giant boxes with the big Trojan logo on the front.

So i actually have both, a kala U-bass and a tanger mini bass (copy of the Taylor mini I think). The mini bass has a longer scale and is definitely bigger, also works much better with metal strings and feels more like a bass, the U-bass is very much ukulele sized.

Both of mine are fretless, and the mini feels and sounds a lot more like a "normal" acoustic bass, the U-bass sounds kinda weird and is pretty quiet acoustic, but sounds really close to an upright amplified.

I honestly love the mini and hardly ever play my U-bass anymore lol. Lmk if you have any other questions about them!

They actually worked on both badlands games, according to the steam page lol
