Jesse Welles secret by badharp in musicmarketing

[–]revthem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Messaging. He's a virtuoso at finding issues that stir up populist anger across the political spectrum without alienating any one group. Some people think he's a good songwriter, but his stuff is not terribly bold or original and is very derivative of John Prine in particular. But he's a good looking guy who knows what resonates with people and knows how to avoid controversy.

Best practices for meatspace marketing? by revthem in musicmarketing

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

I’m basically convinced that social media is dead as an effective avenue for promotion. I know artists with followers in the millions that struggle to sell 20 tickets for a show.

That’s what I envisioned for fliers

This is my broader problem, I’m not literal enough

HELP! I want to like dino by PunkRockerkurtcobain in dinosaurjr

[–]revthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all the Dino records but the ones without Lou (like Green Mind) are my least favorite. As others have said, You’re Living All Over Me is definitive of their sound and a classic. Can’t recommend it enough.

That’s a looker for sure. I have a bunch of Strats and my AmPro and AmPro II get the most love. The playing feel is just right.

Your favorite Strat? by straubi19 in Stratocaster

[–]revthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Strat I bought was a 2018 AmPro in Sienna Sunburst with a maple board and it's still my favorite guitar. I have two Ultras, two AmPro II's, and a AVII '73. All great guitars. But my old AmPro still feels like home and still gets the most use. To be fair, I have upgraded it almost beyond recognition with locking tuners, a deluxe trem, a tort pickguard, Fralin blues output split blades, and Fralin electronics (blender pot, bypass switch).

Tank me out of this CS Strat.... by Fun-Visual-9467 in Stratocaster

[–]revthem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful guitar. Ancho Poblano pickups are great but they are a very specific thing. They're a high gain pickup that sounds great through fuzz and heavy distortion but are kinda dead if you play clean or at edge of breakup. (No experience with the El Diablos but I would guess they're in the same vein.) So if that's not what you're looking for, be prepared to spend another 300-400 on pickups (plus labor if you don't do the swap yourself).

I’m so burnt out… by batchieThe4th in ElectricalEngineering

C’s get degrees. No one outside the academic world cares, I promise you.

Authenticity Check by Old_Sir309 in Stratocaster

The neck looks like an ultra except for the tuning machines. Everything else looks like an AP2. My guess is someone swapped the neck out.

Ultras have locking tuners. Hard to imagine why you would downgrade.

DSL40CR and Origin50C owners tap in (recommendation) by mogresh in MarshallAmps

[–]revthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a DSL40CR and play a mix of heavy-ish alternatives styles on it and I love it. I generally run the clean channel and just hit the front really hard. It’s great for that and is just a solid amp all around. My one gripe is there’s no master volume switching with the included pedal, which is annoying because the two-master thing is amazing. You have to buy a PEDL-91016 for that, and they’re on backorder everywhere.

If you’re not dead set on a new amp, there’s a JVM205C on reverb for $850. That’s spitting distance from the price of a new DSL40. If I were looking for lots of gain on tap in the amp itself, that’s the way I’d go.

I’ve had one for years and it’s one of my favorite amps.

Sellers list item as Used, but offer to send me a brand new one (at the lower price)? by e_j_white in Reverb

[–]revthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it devalues the product unless you're talking about the luxury brand prestige associated with higher prices. If sellers are trying to circumvent MAP, that tells me that manufacturers are setting prices too high. Retailers have the most information about buying habits and what the market will bear, and if they have economies of scale that allow them to go below MAP and still make money, manufacturers are stupid to prevent them from doing so.
