Let's have a different perspective here. If someone asks me over and plays his rig for me I always find something positive to say about at least one thing [or more]. This always brings a smile. Negative feedback is just that. They can get that anywhere, including this blog.
Validation
To go along with my post about how competitive you are regarding your set, is this question: Do you need someone to validate the quality of your set or can you be happy with it all by yourself? In my case, no one has heard my set in a long time and I’ve made many improvements. So far, I’m very pleased with what I’ve done, but I do wonder what others might think.
How about you?
