I love playing music and recording, I'm guessing you do too!
I want to quickly introduce myself so you can get acquainted with who is creating the content on this website for you.
I'm Joost Nusselder, the founder of Neaera and a content marketer, dad, and love trying out new equipment with guitar at the heart of my passion, and together with my team, I've been creating in-depth blog articles since 2020 to help loyal readers with recording and guitar tips.

Ik ben Joost Nusselder, content marketer, vader en na lang niet te hebben gespeeld nu ook weer gitarist. Ik neem je op dit kanaal mee in mijn tips van gitaren en gear en oefeningen nu ik het zelf ook weer ga oppakken! Ik bespreek alles op mijn blog: neaera.com/nl
I am looking for some guidance. My GRG has a JEM logo for some reason. I do not know why that is the case. The rest of the guitar doesn't seem to be fake. I guess someone might have replaced the headstock to increase the price?
Stuff should come in a tube instead of a bottle with a pump on it. They should have sell both as a choice. I would much prefer a tube as opposed to a bottle with a pump on it.
I have searched for this and this original product has been entirely replacement by a product with the same name from got2b that does absolutely nothing with completely different ingredients. I absolutely loved this one but it appears to have been discontinued. I tried with three different listings to order this from three different sellers with the picture of the original bottle and all three came to me as the new product. WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?!?
I missed so much that dutch accent, as a french I used to have Paul from Bass Matters on the phone, great and nice person to deal with, you dutch bass guys are awesome .
Thanks for the whole review. To be honest, I came here for the comparison of two units, Rushead and Lekato in order to be able to decide, and you recommended both 😂😂😂
Was in Marshall’s and saw the light hold one, after a quick Google search your video came up. thanks for explaining the difference between the light and firm hold, I wanted the light hold results, thanks 🙏
How could you say the forming cream is matte? It is shine-making AF 😂😅 and it really looks like vinyl glue. Really uncomfortable to work with. Defining paste on the other hand is cool, quite matte but with a little (really little, which is good) touch of shine. And it has better ingredients as well!
I would say the opposite is true, that most men look younger with a beard. At least after men faces start showing their age, a beard is a great way to cover it up. The only exception is if you are 16-24 and can grow a good beard, it will make you look more mature.
I’ve been using this for two years and now it’s advertised as a women’s product, why? Any other suggestions for a cream? Not into tacky pomades or putty
Used to work in a gear shop. It was impossible to convince some beginners that aggressive shoes would make them climb worse. One or two insisted then tried to return them a week or two later.
I am currently a coach in a climbing wall and regularly fit/sell climbing shoes that we stock. Something I have noted over several years of this is the importance of ‘building up’ to advanced shoes. Your foot is not in a natural position when wearing aggressive shoes and it takes time for the foot to adapt. Each time I have sold aggressive shoes to a beginner, I have found that within a few sessions, there is a large amount of space in the shoe as the customer has been unable to tolerate the discomfort when sized correctly. This allows your foot to move around in the shoe which leads to poor trust in your feet and, consequently, habitual overuse of the upper body. This is happening at the very time when a climber should be focussing on getting as much weight in their feet as possible to reinforce good technique. My advice would be to look at shoes such as the Scarpa Veloce Lace, La Sportiva Katana or something similar as these have a more natural shape which you will more likely be able to size them correctly and you can start to build up from there. Keep in mind as well that the shape of the shoe is just as important as the size, if something is the wrong shape for your feet, downsizing won’t solve this.
Would not recommend these shoes for total beginners while they're all great in their own right. In order to get the best out of climbing shoes proper (climbing) technique is required. Personally I'm a big fan of slipper type shoes which provide a bit of comfort, but are also great for smearing and some are also pretty good for edging.
Totally agree. I'm scarpa fan myself, but cause they fit me somehow better. To be honest it's best to practice footwork with some middway shoes. Not a fan of the beginner shoes as well. Had Tarantulas when I started. Don't recommend it. You need some downturn and tightness, but not a Solution. Having no downturn and point to the shoe doesn't teach you, but top of the line is an overkill
So, I'm a route setter and work as a climbing instructor. Generally i would recommend newer climbers to not use aggressive and really tight shoes. They should be snug and not painful. One of the reasons is the more comfortable your shoes the more your climb and as a beginner that is very important. Secondly your feet aren't used to climbing yet and an over reliance on tight shoes for foot support and strength will hamper development as you won't get strong feet Thirdly where's flat shoes for example you have to exaggerate your footwork on overhanging stuff. Pointing toes for example into the holds Generally once you get into the v4-v5 range, getting a better shoe will be noticeable
I've climbed once a week for 6 months now, have my mythos at 41.5 and solution at 42.5, can't really tolerate the pain induced by the solution and have to go back to mythos to enjoy climbing
