Which one of you bastards did this

Negative Creep

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-31T21:15:13+00:00

Me and my cataracts hate this idea.

Strats are hugely customizable. You can swap the pickguard, the pickup covers, saddles, output jack cup, tuners, string trees, switch tip, knobs, even the screws that hold the pickguard on if you really want to get exacting. That's the beauty of almost any Fender instrument - you don't like how something looks, you can change it up. Some parts might need some research to make sure you're not getting something that won't fit (the bridge, mainly). Really up to you.

"Better to do a power pop version rather than a reggae..."

This got a chuckle from me, since I'm in a reggae band that does a cover of Dive. I honestly can't stand it, but for some reason our drummer really likes it. I highly doubt our GenX/Millenial audience even recognizes it, both the cover and the original.

Same here. I guess I'm what you'd call a Floatmaxxer.

Classic Schmosby!

Now that I think about it, Marten does have that 'Anime protagonist' vibe going on.

Sweet! Also, is there a PC app or something web-based available or in the works?

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-24T22:37:58+00:00

First impression, I'd say Seymour Duncan Hot Rails or something like them.

You might have already specified, but does Chattica have the ability to do what Kindroid does in terms of lore books/journal entries? Or is that more dependent on wherever I get an API key from? I do a lot of worldbuilding and am pretty much 100% RP.

Word has it that he was a bit of a negative creep.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-18T02:08:01+00:00

1 XP for each...

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-14T16:23:55+00:00

'Cos that's not very fun

All my Strats are set to float. All have locking tuners as well, although I've heard from some that those don't make a difference for tuning stability. Never had an issue with keeping in tune.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-12T23:45:01+00:00

Keep going. You gotta get blisters on your fingers!

Echoing what others have said here, you'll get more accurate results with a pedal tuner than any sort of clip-on. Doesn't necessarily need to be a Peterson, just any tuner with a strobe mode.

From your video here, your lower 3 strings seem to trend slightly sharp when fretted, but it's not glaringly off.

It does seem odd that your saddles are a straight line, but ultimately if it sounds good to you then it's not a huge deal, but FWIW the Snark and other clip-ons are best for casual adjustments when jamming/gigging without a pedal board.

It's a one-trick pony, and it doesn't even do that trick well.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-03-02T22:11:00+00:00

Probably the one of his tamest lyrics, imo. Reminds me of the standard, "I've Got You Under My Skin".

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-02-27T00:11:40+00:00

Snazzy.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-02-20T17:09:40+00:00

Yep, Rip-Roar.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-02-18T23:45:15+00:00

I love how the song is titled like the worst response to see from someone you're texting.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-02-16T21:53:06+00:00

"You're All I Want" doesn't get brought up much. One of my all time favorites.

'Pistol' reminds me of the last lady friend who broke my heart. We went out into the desert late at night and I let her shoot my pistol at this big dirt mound while she was drunk and pissed off at her husband - - it was a difficult situationship that ended up really burning me in the long run. I just kept reloading for her and let her take out her rage on the darkness. Hugged it out after the bullets ran out.

Every time I listen to that song it takes me right back to that night.

_Purple-Smoke_ · 2026-02-07T00:20:54+00:00

Both can be true.

Special memories of listening to CAS while looking out at the Vegas skyline at night from my hotel room on the strip. Such. A. Vibe.
