All this falls into the category of “tone.” Why doesn’t a PRS Custom 22 sound exactly like a Les Paul? They both incorporate dual humbuckers and a solid body, so they should sound the same, right? However, the PRS has a longer scale length and, therefore, a tighter, somewhat brighter, sound. Shorter scale guitars, though, tout that beautiful buttery tone which make Les Pauls and Jazz boxes such invaluable tools.

This guy's able to hear the quarter-inch difference in scale? Wow, respect.

Anecdata time: I own two, according to common knowledge, very different sounding guitars. One's 24,75" mahogany lespauly thing with a fixed bridge and a second, 25,5" alder superstrat one. Out of curiosity recorded one next to the other to find these striking differences. And, well, only ones I've found were in the signal strength - superstrat one has the hotter pickups, which was audible while using clean tone, but completely un-recognizable with littlest bit of overdrive. Aside of that, they were sounding the same to me. Sure I was using digital ampsims, but somehow I doubt the situation's very different with real amps.

(also, playing guitar gives you cancer)

Yeah, I guess a lot of it may be talking out of one's ass. There's many factors that make a difference in sound such as pickups, wood used, type of bridge, type of strings, etc, and scale length is one of those factors. I think all other things being the same you could hear a slight difference in sound when only the length of the neck is varied. But that's probably more a thought experiment than an actual one since between guitars rarely only one factor is altered. Someone with a good understanding of frequencies and oscillations can probably easily support the idea of longer scale = more tension = less amplitude = more high overtones than low ones. Or something.

To be honest I can't hear the difference unless I go down to C or B. What appeals to me about longer scale lengths is that the guitar seems to sing in a different... vowel? My baritone in B tuning sings more of an "A" whilst my Ibanez sounds more like "U" or "O".

Besides, who has sex of any kind with more than six people?

Over a lifetime, I'd say lots of people.

What are you some kind of slut?

It was a joke, dude.

Hell, at your ages that's a reasonable monthly average. All at once isn't unreasonable, although as i recall one dispensed with going down on them all in such situations, for reasons of time as much as jaw-ache.
Maybe that's the answer - avoid cancer by never banging less than six chicks at a time.

That's a prevention treatment I can get behind. Or on top.

Well, I've had plenty of oral sex (some with hookers) and I've never received cancer. It's obvious the article was mostly sensationalism; and even if anything in that find was true, well, what a way to get the disease! Better than chewing tobacco, I suppose.

Paying to give oral...that's a new one but everybody has their own thing to rev them up.

The article is real. We know HPV causes Cervical Cancer, no big surprise. You mix lots of people's juices together, some micro-organisms are going to move about.

How many people you swap secretions with is your call, but you roll the dice every time. Roll the dice enough times you're going to get something unpleasant.

That's why I'm saving myself...for myself.

Coca-Cola's propaganda on its Facebook page is kinda lol.

And the 4k frequency IS gross. Thanks, Dan. Helps alot when mixing, put kick up in that bitch!

Fair choice, but masturbation also causes cancer. And hairy palms.

^ That's a good'un.

I know where's the problem. The violin piece is performed in a saddle of particularly high horse, so peasants down here hear fuck all.

I had the good fortune of hearing a ragtime band playing music in a music store in New Orleans after Mardi Gras. Now, I'm certainly not a huge ragtime fan, but I was drawn into the place by hearing the music while walking by with my friends. I would hope that if I had stumbled across what's described in the picture, that I would have taken the time to appreciate.

Too true, too true. Slowing down is always a good thing, if you can do it.
