Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

That's pretty much it. It's not really a song, I just had some room left on the tape. I sort of had an idea, and just like most of the ideas I get, I don't properly complete them. I could've recorded that bass part properly, but wtf the first-take was all I needed to capture the idea.

Anyone wants to, they can take any of my instrumentals and stick words to 'em. Just give me co-credit.

And I've got no problem fleshing the tunes out a bit, if anyone is into online collaboration.

Hmm... I've done some colab with my works in the past. I kinda miss when Nadeshda would put her vocals over my work.

I'm also remarkably interested in music lately - which may seem contrary to my output. I've not done anything new for quite a while - but, at the same time, I'm more excited about music than I've been in a long, long time.

I started a new project, where I take a look at inexpensive guitar equipment. I'm seeing how little you need to invest to get a quality instrument and it's amazing how good cheap gear is these days. I may even start a collection of cheap gear to see how it shapes up.

I paid $170 for a Chibson Les Paul (technically made in Vietnam) and it came with the low E maybe one cent out and an action better than you'll get out of the box with Gibson themselves. The only setup I needed to do was to move the low E less than a 16th of a turn.

On Sunday, I have a used (excellent condition) Fender Mustang LT-25 for like $140 being delivered by FedEx.

Man... The stuff new players have available (for not much money) is amazing.

Hey, hey, hey! I'm looking for a good LP copy. How do you feel about the pickups on your new Les Faul?

They're fine. They might be a tad more hot than you'd expect, but not noticeably so without a sensitive ear.

However, the price for cheap guitars is currently in a peak due to shipping costs. So, you may need some caution.

That was $170 when I bought it just a couple of months ago.

Awesome deal on the Mustang. This is the first I've heard of this FNGT, and find the camaraderie here to be off the charts. Really glad you do this every Friday and will definitely be lurking and/or contributing when time permits.

Your time is valuable, so much appreciated, mate.

The Mustang is used but in "excellent" condition. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm excited.

I already own stuff like a Kemper, so this is definitely a dive into the lower end of the spectrum.

And, don't be bashful. Feel free to contribute. We're here every Friday and we have REALLY low standards. Like, we don't care if you bang on pots and pans with wooden spoons - and I've done so just to prove a point.
