>>4002808So if you handed a brand new guitarist a fender and a squire strat, with the branding removed. Do you think he'd be able to tell the difference between playing them?
How about someone that's been playing professionally for 30 years?
The fact that you are so open to admitting that you think experience/skill isn't a factor in using better gear, shows that you don't have the experience necessary to spot the differences.
The fact you replied with a jpeg instead of presenting an argument is proof that you feel unable to have this conversation, like a normal human.
>>4002815No one has said that having better equipment makes you better, they are saying that better equipment holds back more experienced people less.
If a violinist wants first chair in a prestigious orchestra, he needs a violin that has exceptionally good sound.
If a pilot wants to/is skilled enough to fly at over mach 3, then an sr71 is pretty much his only choice.
If a scientist wants to research colliding ions, then he's not going to get very far with a bunsen burner and a test tube.
If a photographer wants to make a 30" gallery quality print, he needs a 50mp camera and a lens that can resolve that much detail.
If a photographer wants to take photos at prestigious sporting events, he needs one with exceptionally fast, reliable and accurate tracking autofocus, fast and long burst sustain and a tethered connection to a laptop, and a fast telephoto lens.
