The stuff I had Pia buy from the US finally arrived. Which is perfect since I was contemplating on recording some shit once again.<\/p>\n

I think I’m beginning to become a Planet Waves<\/a> whore. The sheer practicality of the stuff they make reminds me of those Japanese inventions for practical living. They don’t look so good, but the concepts are very useful for living. Planet Waves<\/a>‘ stuff on the other hand do not suffer from that dilemma as their products both have function and form.<\/p>\n\n

I already got the Auto-Trim Tuning Machines<\/a><\/em> which are basically locking tuners\/machine heads which not only lock the strings, but also nip the slack off while you turn the gear heads. This makes string changing very easy and neat. I always was worried about string slippage though, after all the concept of locking tuners simply clamp on the strings as hard as you can wind the locking mechanism. While it’s pretty much safe for the thicker strings, I always wondered about the thinnest ones. But my T5<\/a>‘s been on them for quite a while, and I think that just proved that there’s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

When I got back home, it was pretty dry – the RH<\/code> 1 <\/sup><\/a>Relative Humidity<\/span><\/span>
