Post #281
Paganini was a genius, the only thing I don't like about him was that he is very responsible for Malmsteen. Although on saying that he was partly responsible for Jason Becker and neoclassical in general, so I'll let it slide
-
-
Good luck, there's some parts of paganini that are impossible to play due to it's chord structures on the violin and the note distance on the guitar.
-
I gotta get one first!It's a long shot, but is there any way that I could get my hands on an autograph?
-
I have the unusal talent of being able to play octaves across two strings so I think I'll give it a shot.

o ye, just ordered a sixer
-
I just ordered this and this, and they should be here by the 24th.
I have the hardest boner right now.
God forbid the Steinberger doesn't work out, I plan on exchanging it for a Thunderbird Pro, but I hope that won't happen. I'm really psyched for the Stein.
-
Would it be okay to run a bass through my guitar amp? I usually keep the volume down already so it shouldn't do much damage right?
-
Low volumes will be fine, won't cause any damage.
The only component at risk are the speakers, so just don't push them too hard and you won't hurt them.
-
So I just bought this.
What do you think?
-
Not really sure if this is the right place, but does anyone know what exactly Guitar Rig Pro does?
Is it like a virtual amp and you plug your guitar into the computer or what?
-
its in a class of software called amp sims, it emulates whatever amp it has a setting for. You should buy an audio interface if you want to experiment with it.
Also amplitube is better
-
there's 2 things you should really do when getting a Steinberger. change the pickups, but most crucially, get the aftermarket part which allows you to use standard strings instead of double ball end strings. most if not all of them are terrible.
something like this

I've been told about the pickups but I don't know anything about looking for new ones or putting new ones in (I know nothing about electronics). First time I've heard about the strings though.
Edited:
A lot of people like Telecasters. I hate the way the bridge looks. That metal plate looks like ass imo. Solid guitars though.So I just bought this.
What do you think?
-
don't worry about it. I think they're EMG selects, so you should just be able to choose any EMG and get someone to wire it for you. as for the strings, it's so you can use your preferred strings. I've heard a lot about the double ball ends that you have to use with Steinbergers, and not much is any good.
-
nothing wrong with EMG selects
Edited:
at least nothing more wrong than regular EMGs
-
So what is "wrong" with EGM's? I genuinely don't know.
-
too cold sounding which is only excusable when it pushes enough overtones to sound like a piano aka not emgs
Edited:
plus they eat batteries
Edited:
all the batteries
-
No me gusta active pickups
-
Every newbie buying a guitar is looking for EMGs now a days. I always warn them.
-
Shit, I got a dollar.
-
There's nothing wrong with EMGs, it's just a matter of personal taste.
Generally people find them to be sterile sounding, and a bit too compressed, but on the other hand people love them for that reason.
For example, Master of Puppets was recorded with EMGs, the sterility of them works really well for Metallica.
-
Sterile pickups for sterile music?
-
Say what you want about EMGs, the 60 is one glorious sounding pickup
-
Where can I find the devil?
Shit, I got a dollar.
-
Amplitube looks pretty cool. So its basically lots of amps and stuff in one, that you run on your computer?
What hardware do you need to use it? (Other than a guitar and a computer obviously), does it use your amp at all?
-
i haven't switched batteries for my emgs in months and i play a lot
euroshopper batteries
-
Imagine what you can get with €1 or even £1.
Shit, I got a dollar.
-
A mediocre bassist, everyone knows that in order to be successful, don't play bass particularly well
.
-
Geddy Lee is fast approaching with a noose made of a .105 roundwound string
-
Yes but Geddy Lee has the gift of the Gods.
-
an audio interface
Edited:
I'd rather be the world's greatest bass player than the world's greatest guitarist
Shit, I got a dollar.

*bro fist*
-
You guys like this bass tone?
Slap Bass:
Finger Bass:
Oh shit now I see how soundcloud degrades sound quality, it makes the bass wobble instead nice clean even like it is in the original file (you can download it and hear for yourself)
Been playing bass for a whole 2 hours in my whole life so timing or playstyle ain't perfect. Guitar and Drums player and I got this bass about a week ago.

i went to an antique store yesterday to look at vintage radios. Im not really interested in old radios but i wanted to find a broken one with a cool enclosure so i could gut it and drop a guitar amp inside.
wound up shellin out fifty bucks for this:
a grundig majestic 4019 tube radio from 1959 (not my picture)
the thing is decent on the outside, but the inside looked like hell. apparently every motherfucker with a soldering iron was inside it.
anyway I parted it out and came up with three transformers, few dozen carbon comp resistors, and a handful of capacitors (including some aftermarket sprague orange drops (yesss)).
the eight tubes scattered throughout the chassis were almost exclusively radio tubes that i couldnt use in a guitar amp. however, the last one i pulled out is a telefunken ribbed-plate 12ax7. looked up some info and it looks like theyre a pretty sought-after tube. I'm gonna get that one tested and hope it works.
i'll probably post some actual pictures sometime but yeah this things pretty rad
-
i want that in my twin just so i can say i have that in my twin.
-
I've gotten to the point where all I do when I pick up my guitar is go through a bunch of different songs by the same artists and keep trying to perfect riffs/solos, but I'm not really improvising anymore or even really following a practice template for going through scales/arpeggio shapes/etc. It's pretty much become almost boring to practice since I end up playing the same 20-25 songs over and over.
Any suggestions on how to get out of this rut? I've been playing for about 2 years and 4 months.
-
find a new style to play.
you're probably not an expert at high-life guitar so take up that.
-
The biggest problem with them is that they simply do not work with a cheap semiconductor amp or bad tube, and the majority of people getting them are doing so to sound "metal" and don't actually get a proper amplifier to go with it. They work for Metallica, Rammstein, etc. because they're using some actual high-end or vintage tube gear.
What is it you're looking to do, exactly?
-
Smoke a cuban and played guitar for maybe 3 hours.
-
in a rut, gonna do something weird
currently composing a piece in a full chromatic scale
