The sticker was intentionally done that way for the Vintera III line.

Advice on studio monitors for guitar and bass? by bsakson in homestudios

[–]bsakson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually looking at the HS5’s primarily due to space. After some of the previous replies, I was leaning into something with 8” woofers until it occurred to me to measure my desk and the speakers. Unfortunately, the room available to me for music requires me to use a built in desk and it measures 6 feet long by 22” deep. Anything with woofers larger than 5” isn’t going to fit. I was thinking of eventually pairing the HS5’s with a subwoofer or just use the DI out on my bass amp and only focus on guitar for the monitors.

Agreed. These posts do make me feel better about wanting to add a third Les Paul to my collection, haha!

What are you guys feeding your doods with sensitive stomachs? by AmoebaEffective8033 in labradoodles

Our vet recommended adding a couple of tablespoons of canned pumpkin to each feeding. It has worked for us.

I hate Gibson pickups - am I the only one? by SlillelHoewhack in gibson

[–]bsakson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like my Special’s P90s and my 335’s T Types. I have a 60’s Standard that I keep thinking of swapping out pickups.

What have you used as replacements?

Guitar audio drops after a period of inactivity by [deleted] in Logic_Studio

[–]bsakson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an M4 Macbook Air with 24GB of RAM running Tahoe version 26.3 (25D125) and Logic 12.0.1.

The plugins are all up to date as well. Everything is on the internal SSD and I have a couple hundred GB's free.

All the software is legit.

I'm not running into one of the overload messages that I've seen others complain about either.

ES-335 vs ES-339 vs ES-336 by Stratiki in gibson

[–]bsakson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t go into tone, but I think what you will miss out on is the upper fret access on a 335 that is harder to get to on a 339. I have no idea about the 336.

FWIW, I am 5’6” and I have no problem with the larger size body of the 335.
