And of course, this "tone"--holiest grail of timbre--is achieved only by your hands.
If you like the gear I like, you get it. If you want to sound good with something I don't approve of, then you don't get that "tone is in the hands."

Never said I don't indulge just not all fucked up all the time..LOL
Well I think we all know what kidna musician you are Jim, Sorry your all fucked up bro ..
Dunno: That is Neo, please xplane.. I'm just a

I was a fan of plaintops until I realized how much people who are watching you play dig flamed maple! Nobody ever notices that my Gary Tyler Moore Sig Les Paul has no binding. They notice the flame though (and it's not even great flame)!
The ultimate bon vivant of the f'ed up variety.Dunno
That whole elegantly wasted schtick.
The list goes on, but you know what I mean.

Why do we crucify ourselves
oxygen free copper cables are better
do I look like I know what I'm doing?
How do I know if I have oxygen in my cables?

if you didn't pay $75 for monster cables, you must have some
do I look like I know what I'm doing?
I usually like oxygen.
I do have a couple monster cables that I bought just because they seemed better than the molded options available in a particular store at that time. Though I bet the molded ends would keep additional oxygen from getting into the cables.
Damn it!
That was back before I used the internet.

Wouldn't that depend on which direction you are running them?
You can't play jazz on a solidbody,or with a plain 3rd.

Has anybody mentioned how the old-school coily cable is best?
"I haven't slept for ten days...because that would be too long." -- Mitch Hedberg
I can't say 'best', but they do trap some of the high frequencies
(due to capacitance of the cable)
I like the sound but hate the cable
do I look like I know what I'm doing?
Unless they're oxygen-free and cryogenically treated!
"I haven't slept for ten days...because that would be too long." -- Mitch Hedberg
That may be a false assumption, but I can tell you that My Gretsch Electromatic Hollowbody LOVES the jazz lights with the wound G. I also raised the polepieces on the DeArmond 2K's and the guitar has come to life! And it stays in tune and intonates better.

The fender custom shop guitars are better quality ..
And now this thread is looping itself. ;-)
It was only a matter of time!
Oh snap....
Yes, we may be going around in circles now, but we got almost 5 full pages of these assumptions. Lots of interesting posts.

Well I mean come on... Everyone knows the only good thread looping is the vintage thread looping, wired point-to-point and cryogenically-hyphenated.
Posts from 1 month ago are so much better than posts that were written today.
Is that an observation about the thread or an allusion to the assumption that vintage is better?
With all the oxygen in my cables I'm not sure I can distinguish the two.

That's why I only read TFF on a vintage oxygen-free monitor: much better definition.
And Jim knows definition
do I look like I know what I'm doing?
Yeah, Jim is mad def.
You think I'd know better by now.

Like Tag knows tone.
bass amps need horns/tweeters
Here's one from the '70s vault:

You know, I had my surgeon to implant a brass nut, and I can't tell any difference in my sustain.

already mentioned that... somehow i play a good sounding bass without them.
