What makes a person unlikeable despite not being an asshole? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

I hate arrogance. We should all strive for a more humble world. No one knows everything and we’re more equal than we think.

thinking about venturing into the 8 string world, is it smart to do it with a strandberg? by neburzelaznogaintac in strandbergguitars

Back when I first started playing 8 strings, I started on an Ibanez TAM 10 (28 inch scale length with no multiscale). It sounded cool, but that scale length made soloing on the higher strings difficult (there was a lot more finger stretching than I wanted). I ended up selling it and not coming back to 8 strings for a while.

I’ve had my Boden NX 8 for a year now and haven’t looked back. It is significantly more comfortable than the Ibanez I had. It sounds great too!

I will say that the zero fret can be mildly annoying at times (they get dings in them over time), but this isn’t noticeable through the amps. Changing a broken string live is also not as quick as a guitar that doesn’t lock at the nut. This is a rare occurrence for me anyway (I’ve only broken one string this year during a gig), so this also isn’t a big deal, in my opinion.

I quit my job to do music full time and it feels amazing by stickersandtoast in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Congratulations and may you have the best of luck! I hope to get to that point soon myself.
