This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you've been doing it yourself since high school and still haven't figured out how to do it reliably with fully repaired and properly functioning equipment then you're a fucking moron

You don't play string instruments, do you? There's a lot that goes into any instrument's sound, and some of it isn't a matter of tuning. Especially when we talk about electric instruments. Maybe a pickup you installed on your bass has a small defect that introduces some noise into signal and you like the unique sound signature, for instance.

More goes into the sound of an instrument than just tuning and the body being in good shape, so your repetition of this claim that if you can't reproduce any given sound character on your instrument with some tuning you're a "moron" is either reductionist for the sake of trolling or is deeply ignorant.
