Kat is one of the most patient women in the world. She has never demanded that I give up a hobby, never expected me to throw away my video games — she’s only asked me to think critically about what I use and what I need. Do I need as many guitars as I own? No. Would I like to trade up for less guitars of better quality? Sure, that makes sense. But we both have our holy grails; I’ve lately been taken with the idea of getting a mythical Moderne<\/a>, which designer Kat thinks is hideously ugly:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kat is not alone in thinking it’s hideously ugly, but that’s kind of one of the reasons I like it. I’ve also talked about getting an Explorer<\/a> for many years, which is significantly less ugly simply because it’s more familiar, and Epiphone makes a nice reissue in korina (which I really want) for a few hundred bucks. But Kat — who owns several basses, all of which are blue, green, or blue-green — has her lust objects too…<\/p>\n

[11:54] Katrin Auch: so this is my Explorer<\/a>
\n[11:54] DanAmrich: $2500
\n[11:54] DanAmrich: OMG
\n[11:54] DanAmrich: I really thought it was like $800
\n[11:54] Katrin Auch: It is the wow bang
\n[11:54] DanAmrich: well if you sell three of your other applications, you can get it
\n[11:54] Katrin Auch: Print, web and video
\n[11:55] Katrin Auch: lol
\n[11:55] DanAmrich: My explorer is $500 new, btw
\n[11:55] DanAmrich: $1250 if I get a real Gibson used
\n[11:55] Katrin Auch: I sort of meant holy grail
\n[11:55] DanAmrich: Bad analogy then. It’s your Moderne…the thing you can never have
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: I can have an Explorer by stopping by Gelb<\/a> tonight \ud83d\ude42
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: Because the Explorer is not ugly
\n[11:56] Katrin Auch: oh, you can have it, but why would you want it
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: BECAUSE IT NEEDS MY LOVE
\n[11:56] Katrin Auch: no it doesn’t
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: Nobody else will take care of it, appreciate it for WHAT IT IS!
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: White korina!
\n[11:56] DanAmrich: It’s going through that awkward design phase
\n[11:56] Katrin Auch: some guitars are too broken for life; the best thing you can do for them is put them down
\n[11:57] DanAmrich: Noooooooooo
\n[11:57] Katrin Auch: it’s better for everyone this way
\n[11:57] DanAmrich: If they made it in teal, you’d come around
\n[11:57] Katrin Auch: no, no I wouldn’t
\n[11:57] DanAmrich: If Kate Bush used one to do a cover of Indigo Girls songs, you’d come around
\n[11:58] Katrin Auch: no, no I wouldn’t<\/p>\n
