    Here’s one for ya - Mastodon > Moby Dick There’s also the obvious Led Zep > LOTR bridge (Misty Mountain Hop, Ramble On, Battle for Evermore)

    Or you could buy one of the five remaining Meadowhawks (I would strongly suggest it)

    It appears so - without busting out the calipers, it looks like that’s exactly what’s going on:

    Chat GPT Makes up stuff

    To be fair ChatGPT did a lot better than the internet would have! The thread would be 35 posts in and someone would still be adamant that the ProCo RAT is the most influential pedal of all time. The bigger issue is whether or not we teach young people how to do actual research

    Chat GPT Makes up stuff

    Of course it does, that’s what it’s designed to do: use stochastic modeling to determine the most likely token (chunk of a word or whole word) based on the context it has. It is not thinking. It is not error checking. The quality of the input (training data + prompt + model) determines the...

    Chat GPT Makes up stuff

    He’s not showing ChatGPTs gaps, he’s showing the gap between what he thinks it is and what it actually is. Using the voice function and flooding the context window with unnecessary chatter already put him a leg behind, but the core point is he is not approaching this like a serious researcher...

    American Strat neck replacement

    I agree - and it’s been many years since I was a JB fan, but I remember the JB being almost too shrill. Of course my amp setup has changed drastically over the years, and I didn’t fiddle too much with the amp this weekend - ‘65 Twin with treble on 8-9, bass on 2-3, mids usually down around 3-4...

    Thanks for paging me! I’ve been playing this guitar all last night and this morning and I am forming the opinion that the Crawler pickups are similar to a Duncan JB/Jazz. Bridge pickup loves harmonics and sounds great on both ends of the Fender Twins mid tone control. The neck on the other...

    Alright so this guitar rocks. I am 99% sure @aarontunes designed this explicitly for covering Van Halen because it sounds like 5150 right out of the case.
