I loving hate superstrat/JEM/Ibanez steve vai wankathon 777777777 guitars. The necks are too thin, the pointy bits always get dinged and most people who like them are generally insufferable assholes who spend all day twiddling with the knobs on their amp instead of playing. Gonna put a monkey-grip AND a glory hole on the goon-tar just to spite them. Cartoon posted:Floyd Rose hate Eh, Floyd-Rose trems have their place. Some players are super-heavy handed and trigger happy with their whammying, a strat-trem can't take that sort of punishment, the screw holes that the bridge pivots on get larger and eventually they just because useless.

That thing's crazy, but OTOH I've always had some weird affection for olden-days country stars who just loved to have their names as fret inlays

Dewgy posted:if it's just a plain effects pedal that in and of itself is neat enough, just means i wouldn't get to use it with the midi out Since you brought it up, I have to ask, is that thing playable at all if you understand guitar? I bought one cheaply and find it rather uncomfortable to try to play, granted I know nothing about guitar. I always thought you were supposed to press at the frets instead of in between them like the fretboard is laid out, and moving my fingers up and down the fretboard just feels bad. Plus, the goofiest noises come from it when you pluck the strings loudly enough to hear them. Also, it sends a 'note off' whenever you release a fret button or press one on an open string. I basically poked at the thing for fifteen minutes in Rock Band and decided they didn't have their whole LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR thing quite right.

$166 for an off cut gently caress me, as an ex stone mason I assure you that you could make about 5 of those an hour including drilling and glueing metal threads in. From bits that get thrown in the skip.

May have been discussed already but iostream.h, you are going to make sure the unveiling is filmed and uploaded to youtube right? Sadly I'm a little late to the 30-fret discussion but a friend who doesn't normally like guitars linked this to me as a guitar he liked a few days back. I'm uh, throwing it to you guys:          The maker said this on their facebook page: Amfisound posted:The guitar features an ebony top and back. The finish is made of REAL gold. They also do Viking-inspired stuff (which I'll be honest, I kinda like):  And more, er, abstract things:  Oh and while flicking through their gallery of "extreme" models I also found this:  Cartoon posted:Pete Townsend has always been know for impeccable taste (Rick from Cheap Trick has one too). Makes me wonder whether White Dogs Eggs used to work for Guild.

I love the rough-looking wood. They do a bunch of stuff like that, though I'm not 100% sure whether it's the wood and not just a fancy paintjob - they do have some fairly complex paintjobs on some of their guitars, and it would be kind of uncomfortable, especially in the case of this neck:  I hope it's real, though (Also you should etch (perhaps burn, if possible?) TONE into the back of the goontar's neck) 01011001 posted:lol he looks so lost  (The facebook caption for the first picture is "CHRIS HOLMES: GOODBYE AMERICA.

Sockington posted:There's a few vocal processors out there with a Satan voice filter already in there. I wonder how they'd deal with a bass input. BigHustle posted:I have a Digitech Vocal 300 and access to a killer bass rig. I'll try and get a recording at band practice on Monday. It did nothing other than make the normal bass sound like it was being filtered through a box full of poo poo water and gravel, but not in a good way. On the other hand, some off the effects that have a lot of high end and sound shrill and brittle add vocal effects sounded great when combined with the bass, so my basis may start using it when our free jazz noise improv band plays.

comes along bort posted:frets aren't scalloped though The only reason he has scalloped frets is because it means there is more room on the fretboard for his adult-sized baby fingers. I met him ages ago at a show in Birmingham (about 2003 maybe? I don't think Nile were the main act), I went up to the bar to order a drink and this long haired guy next to me says "I guess you'll want an autograph then" "Ummm okay........ Who are you?" "Dude, why bother even coming to the show if you don't even know who I loving am??? You loving kids are pathetic, loving.... *stares at my Cradle of Filth t-shirt* go listen to your Cradle of human being" got my drinks, went back to my friends then some guy with a camera asks me what I said to Karl Sanders because "he's got a face like you just pissed on his granny". One of the cool things about Metal gigs is that it's stupidly easy to meet the band members. phone posting so sorry if there is any spelling mistakes

Thing is, I've got no idea what this EQ actually does. It looks like two eq's, a blend and a master volume, but that's just going on the pot values, won't know until I put it in, but more knobs = more tone, right? W424 posted:Comic sans?

How am I going to be inspired to kill someone screaming for moar FREEBYRD without Slenderman? Or Cthulhu. I loving love Cthulhu.  One or the other in sparkly green, right behind the bridge I think...

I could rig up a simple led warning if you'd like, I could even do one with a bleeper, but you might hate me if I do that. Basically something like this but built into the guitar (you'll be able to detect scary ghosts too, which comes in handy when you are playing a gig), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nuv6iuhyReY. iostream.h posted:I also realized that for a GBS GEETAR we're sorely lacking in Slenderman references.
