If the guy would just have been honest about his intentions instead of coming here with all his bullshit, it would have been okay. He wasn't here to give anyone any advice or pointers on how to make better recordings. He was here because he wanted people to listen to his stuff and then tell him how great he is, etc, etc. I guess he found out that dishonesty isn't a trait that is admired or respected in this particular forum. I liked his tale of getting a $1200.00 piece of equipment from a "dope fiend" for a very cheap price. First of all, I suspect he was lying, but what if it was true? That could have been a piece of equipment that one of us owned and had worked our asses off to buy! I had my two favorite Les Paul Standards stolen in Nashville,TN fifteen or so years ago and still to this day, every time I think about those guitars it makes my blood boil! I don,t consider myself a violent man, but I swear that if I could lay my hands on the bastard that stole those guitars, I'd cut his fucking hands off! Ive had other LP's since then, but they weren't as good as those two. I've digressed. Fuck that lying asshole!
