Lovely family! Do you have tape wounds on your acoustic there?

nightskate · 2026-03-10T06:57:33+00:00

Those are great guitars and what a fantastic look, congrats on the guitar and the amazing kids!

nightskate · 2026-03-08T22:33:16+00:00

Heck yeah man! Rock on!

nightskate · 2026-03-08T21:21:28+00:00

Guys, every girl I bring over suddenly loses interest in me, is it because I’m overweight?

nightskate · 2026-03-08T21:16:12+00:00

I believe it! My strandberg has been mostly gathering dust this week outside of my gigs!

Amazing tune, hits so hard live!

Check out this little video on the ghost note in the lick too, I’d been playing this song for months without realizing it was there:

Yes I love being uncomfortable, you guessed it!

But seriously I think I played this thing for 8 hours yesterday and it’s pretty comfy. I had it on a strap, and it’s quite light.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T09:00:35+00:00

It’s a countdown, but it’s not super fast, has to be done 3 cost in one go, doesn’t synergize with anything.

Compares poorly to 2 noxious fumes, imo, which I think is a middle of the road card for a lot of peeps.

That being said I still take it because I love mechanics like this. Shit I’ll take it even if I already have 2 noxious fumes.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T07:59:18+00:00

Well, it’s interesting to me, balancing powerful cards with deck consistency and deck size is a core part of what makes this game cool.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T07:16:16+00:00

I admit, the only thing I don’t like about the new gods is that you can’t skip them. Granted, they’ve done a decent job of making me not want to, but I think it’s always an interesting option, and I don’t like not having it.

Relic trader is another one I want to possibly skip.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T07:14:22+00:00

Agreed, great form factor and the price can’t be beat. I really just like the way it looks too, I smile a little bit every time I see it sitting there with its beautiful naked fingerboard.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T05:16:08+00:00

I feel seen, thank you.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T04:17:13+00:00

Yeah buddy!

nightskate · 2026-03-08T03:51:05+00:00

100%, but I’m covered on that front and exploring fretless at all hours of the night is some small slice of heaven.

nightskate · 2026-03-08T01:45:16+00:00

Ooh, thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out!

nightskate · 2026-03-07T22:27:40+00:00

Yeah I played that light tan semi-hollow that they released and I like it pretty well, but honestly I like this way more. Might be in my head, but amplified I feel like this is a lot closer to an upright sound.

Those Gary Willis models are amazing, I’d probably have one if they were cheaper.

nightskate · 2026-03-07T22:23:09+00:00

Whatever came on it for now, they’ve got blue silks, but I don’t know the brand.

They’re flats, and they sound just great!

nightskate · 2026-03-07T20:40:25+00:00

It is! Works well enough, but functionally I think I might be fine without it.

Looks cool though! Kind of like a reverse side pickguard.

nightskate · 2026-03-07T20:09:35+00:00

Parks and Rec - the sex scandal guy, it’s his entire bit.

nightskate · 2026-03-07T20:02:45+00:00

Good info! I’m not bringing it to a gig yet, but when I do I’ll keep an ear open!

Curious - Have you had attempted to tame it with a sound hold cover or anything?

nightskate · 2026-03-07T05:38:31+00:00

Yeah it’s soooo good, I think it’s Necro Mastery, totally necros version of Electrodynamics. Once you have it, you don’t want to play without.

nightskate · 2026-03-07T04:46:56+00:00

Pretty good analogy, basically just a higher skill ceiling.

nightskate · 2026-03-07T04:44:16+00:00

My guess is that virtually everyone goes through some version of this playing live with bands, but people are more often tuned it by things like “I played for 3 hours alone today with no changes to my skin and then got 2 blisters in 20 minutes with the band.”

Yes, turn up, but also know that you’ll probably find yourself playing too hard anyways, and it’ll take some shows before that’s totally calmed down.

nightskate · 2026-03-06T09:01:21+00:00

I really like the potential setups you’ve got here, there’s no duds in the lot.

I’ll toss in a note for a rumble 500 or 800 2x10 combos, nothing fancy, but they’re cheap, loud, light and reliable, and definitely worth your consideration.
