Re: John Mayer Megathread
Has he gone back to Dumbles? I know he likes to chop and change depending on what sound he's chasing, remember he was using Two Rock for quite a while
Read only a couple of days ago that he is now completely sick of the 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room' Strat tone he has become associated with

Re: John Mayer Megathread
If anyone's into watches or interested in the upper tier/cork sniffery of collecting, this is a great 'watch'

Re: John Mayer Megathread
I've been reading about the net that the ODS is his main gigging amp currently, interesting considering he has the signature PRS amp... its quite cheap at $13k NZ at the rockshop they have a second hand one too for $8k.... whhheeee....Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:43 am Has he gone back to Dumbles?

The tone on Continuum for slow dancing has an almost pedal steel kind of country thing to it, the version on where the light is is much much better IMO... that live tone is what I've been trying to replicate.

Re: John Mayer Megathread
Apparently his collection is in the realm of 10s of millions of $$... mental.Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:46 am If anyone's into watches or interested in the upper tier/cork sniffery of collecting, this is a great 'watch'

Re: John Mayer Megathread
I think he was using Two-Rock when I saw him for the Battle Studies tour. He looked like a tweaker, but played great.
At least he spends his money on something with some investment value. Coke and hookers don't hold value like an IWC.

Re: John Mayer Megathread
Yeah he admits that watches are his replacement for the drugs and booze he doesn't do, pretty solid investment, just zero interest to me, but then in his shoes I'd have 10s of millions of dollars of cars and bikes instead which would bore others

Re: John Mayer Megathread
If like to think I'd be quite happy with a couple of pre-CBS Fenders, an early Goldtop and a couple of jazz boxes. But a Dumble or two wouldn't hurt.
There's a video from Premier Guitar (I think) of Joe Bonamassa going through his touring rig. Awesome to see old gear getting used, rather than sitting in climate-controlled vaults!

Yeah pretty much. Watched a video where this car guy sells his Supra to a dude that built a makeup fortune off the back of his YouTube fandom. His car collection was wild.

Re: John Mayer Megathread
Any idea what John uses live these days? I would have thought PRS might have convinced him to go with Silver Sky mostly, but it's hard to think of him not having at least five different guitars for a set.

Re: John Mayer Megathread
In the last couple of years he's been using the silver sky, as well as the signature fender strats, the martin acoustics etc, and using the 3 humbucker PRS super eagle for dead and company

Re: John Mayer Megathread
Try as I might, I just can't raise anything but apathy for everything about this guy.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
