NGD: Whoa Black Betty Santana-lam!

[sergiodeblanc]

There's another one in the Dave's used section. I thought that was the one you got.

That’s the one I initially tried to buy.

 

[veinbuster]

Excellent.

 

[BWV548]

Is that good or bad? Math scares me.

My, admittedly poor, attempt at humor. It's Planck's Law of Blackbody Radiation/ Whenever I see one of those sweet flat finished, black, PRSs, I think to myself: "makes me think of a realization of the idealized concept of the blackbody"
In physics, a blackbody would absorb all frequencies of EM radiation.
In short: sweet axe. It makes me geek out in two directions!

 

[gush]

Coolio!!!

 

[C&M Music - Lafayette]

I will do it for you! BANGIN

No, that’s rad! I just had no idea. That’s one of the great things about hanging here, so many smart people.

Head.Blown.

Exit stage left!!!

Exit stage left!!!

I’ll meet you outside.

Imagine if it could be refinished in Vantablack.

 

[BWV548]

Imagine if it could be refinished in Vantablack.

That would be awesome.

 

[Boogie]

So that’s what my ‘for sale pedals’ would look like as a Santana. Pretty freakin’ sweet.

Such a missed opportunity for that name.

David St. Hubbins: "Ooooo! Black. Always a good choice."

Nigel Tufnel: "It's like space without the stars."

St. Hubbins: "Oh, that's beautiful! That's poetry, that is."

Hotness! Nice snag.

This astronerd greatly approves!

DUUUUUDE!!

I was going to suggest this. Great minds think alike.

I want someone to do this so bad. I also want someone to do this to the panelling behind their amp tubes too. The tube glow would be so much more visible.

edit: they do have a spray version that's similar now but still mega pricey

I remember reading about how artistic applications of Vantablack is being bogarted by some dude and as a result someone made a similar paint that's almost as light absorbing called Black 2.0 that anyone except the guy who's hogging all the Vantablack can buy.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Saweeet! Ok so know my mind is doing overtime thinking about the mods!

 

[shinksma]

That’s the one I initially tried to buy.

What do you mean "tried to buy"? Did Dave's deny you? Or did it sell from under your nose?

[and subsequent discussion]

The interesting thing about the (classical physics) model of blackbody radiation is that it should result in a whole lotta x-ray and UV radiation, but of course it doesn't. Planck came up with a theory, and tada, the above equation.

See, for example:

Yeah, I have a (now very expired) degree in Astrophysics.

They have certain additional safeguards in place to fight fraud. So since my home address was the second address on my bank card, and not the first “verified” address, they canceled my order.

I mean, they were very nice about it though.
