Those dudes would call me up at my last job to talk about R9s or their model train collection or whatever and I’d have to figure out a polite way of telling them we are a manufacturer and I don’t really have time to vibe about rando poo poo. They really didn’t care if you were listening, they just wanted to talk so after a while I just left them on speaker and let em tell me about their day while I wired up pickguards or wound pickups or whatever.

i saw the SDRE diary anniversary show last night and it was really good -- they actually totally still have it. like if i'd gone to see them on tour in 1995/1996 and they played the songs like that, it still wouldn't have been disappointing. hearing everyone in the crowd belt In Circles together was a religious experience

Apologies if this has come up in the thread before, but does anyone have any tone/EQ tips for a guitar player playing with a drummer and no bass? I recently put together a rock trio that turned into a duo when our bassist dropped out, and we have a show coming up that we don’t want to cancel. I’ve tried just turning up the bass on my amp, but that doesn’t quite seem to cut it. We’re trying to go for something in the vicinity of a Flat Duo Jets kind of sound, if that helps. Ideally I’d like to avoid solving the problem with more gear, but I have considered switching to a baritone guitar or using a sub octave pedal if we stick with this instrumentation long term.

Just rock out without the bass the idea that you need a certain composition is artifice anyhow a drum is more than enough rhythm and as long as you're covering the spectrum with the guitar I think you can sound plenty full without it as long as you're not playing funk or something then people might notice something missing

I recently put together a rock trio that turned into a duo when our bassist dropped out, and we have a show coming up that we don’t want to cancel. A mixing engineer working with a duo (if they know what they’re doing) would let the guitar go without the usual cuts at 100hz a bass usually gets at the board and let the kick drum run heavy in the mix too. In a white stripes song one of the reasons everyone talks about Meg and debates her drumming so much is she’s really dominant in the mix.

GC is loving relentless. *don’t need, but the thinking is to always have one in standard tuning, one a whole step down (or drop D), and then a new one in open G. And these will all sit within arms reach all day.

My custom Firebird is way more up my ergonomic alley. I don't need my JV Modified 50s HSS Strat. It's on Reverb, and I'm too lazy to take photos of it with timestamps for SA-Mart or elsewhere, but I'd be willing to do decent OBOs for goons. I'll ship it or do local meetups in northern/central NJ. I'd trade if you have an acoustic with a 10" or smaller radius. Comes with a really great gig bag.  Maple is not included

Most of those kinds of bands bi-amp into both a bass and guitar rig, which is the setup I’d go with if you can afford it.

when i was teenager with a 2-piece band half inspired by White Stripes, half inspired by Lightning Bolt, i ran my guitar with assorted pedals into a 1x12 Mesa combo. then i split the signal somewhere and sent that and an octave pedal into a cheap fender rumble bass amp, which i would sit the guitar amp on top of and then i put vocals w./ a ton of FX through a fender solid state amp and put that on top of the Mesa it was a tower of shite and it gave one boomer sound guy a straight up coronary and he like panic attacked out right there in this upscale sports bar. we were allowed 3 songs and asked to leave

Was having a look under the hood of my '88 LP this week and took some measurements on the pots to find that both tones are using really low values. I assumed they had drifted over the years, but after doing some digging turns out that between the early 70s and 1990 Gibson used 300K for volumes and either 300K or even 100K for tone controls (which is what mine are). Nothing inherently crazy about those values, but it does make me wonder how many of the infamous Norlin dogs actually just needed some 500K pots to bring them back to life. This is pretty dark for a P90 guitar and I have an excess of fresh pots on hand so will eventually at least change the tones out for 300s to make the sweep a bit more subtle.

The sound guy came up and asked them to turn it down and dude was like "sorry cant" and launched into their first song. The entire audience was driven outside the venue. A few of us tried to hang but it was so loud I was getting nauseas. Also the drummer spit on me. Unforgettable show.

The yeah yeah yeahs did without a bassist for a long time and always sounded great but yeah, kind of non traditional noise rock so it's a little different. Regarding case/bag chat ... For a unique shaped guitar like a v, firebird, or explorer, I think a hard case is worth it's weight and added price. It will help the resale value (any guitar that comes with a nice case is a bonus to me) and in a gig bag, the parts of the guitar body resting on the ground when leaned up against something would be more delicate than say a strat or tele. That said, I'm leaning towards the rigid foam violin style cases in the future vs traditional hard cases. Best of both worlds.

Local H is always the first band I think of when people start talking about no bass, and they took the extra step of putting a bass pickup on the guitar. Then these guys, but they did add a bass player a few years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AdfZ2rhZmc

Duncan aren't something they offer stock very often - the Ed O'Brien Strat has a JB Jr but that's the only one I can think of.

The body has room for a regular full sized humbucker but it would need a pickguard to fit.
