Smash it Smash hit posted:Sure! I will play around with it and let you know! the guy justin is very receptive and will probably tweak stuff to your interests. he had a plexi clone too he had previously with Paul and mills. I'm not super involved, honestly I never cared for hardcore shows and that's the bulk of it but I know tons of people in that mix around central Florida. It's a really interesting bunch of people around here on the coast. There's a surprising amount of prog metal evolving down here again, plus the 90s are infecting everyone for better or worse.

So my BBE Bohemian came in today annnnnnd it's a dud. Plus, I got it on Musician's Friend's stupid deal of the day but apparently they no longer carry the pedal. So I can either return it and get $60 back (which in no uncertain terms will not buy me another treble booster of even sort of comparable quality) or I can keep it and try to fix it. life is just a series of disappointments

Try a used BBE Freq Boost; should be in the price range and it is a kickass Rangemaster-esque circuit with some great bite and a massive tightening effect. Like it better than a TS by a mile for boosting heavy to make heavy tighter.

Dr. Faustus posted:Hey, at least it has a cutaway! It's got a little bit of everything  It's got a cutaway, a pickup with an active EQ and in the soundhole near the bridge, there's a small condenser microphone. You can set the volume of the mic and the pickup seperately to blend them together. The microphone isn't good enough to be able to suggest that the guitar has been mic'd up, however it certainly makes the DI sound about a hundred times better.

Though not as flashy as some recent posts and items, I'm still a huge, huge proponent of their stuff. Kinda pointless to post my own action shot, as a still shot of an acoustic saddle and nut is kinda boring. Anyway: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PQ-9280-C0 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PQL-6010-00 A year or so ago I replaced the nut and saddles in my strat with Graphtech offerings and was flat out blown away with the increase in depth of timbre and the increase in sustain. My Taylor came loaded with a Graphtech nut and compensated saddle out of the box, and it too has a wonderful depth of timbre and sustain. A couple months back I bought a beater Yamaha acoustic to use outside in our arid environment. I've played it more than anything lately and basically I'm starting to eat grooves in the stock plastic bridge (not unexpected at all). I knew I would be replacing the nut and bridge eventually, so away we go. I realize reviewing them prior to installing them is rather pointless, but from previous experience I'm pretty much sold on their connection point products. I'll get a trip report posted once I get them installed.

umalt posted:Sir I must say this with the utmost admiration, It actually plays really well and doesn't sound awful, I might try swapping the magnets in the pickup to salvage it (although the pickguard and pickup are slightly different shades of cream anyways). I also haven't decided if I should take the pickguard off. Definitely needs a new nut and I'll probably swap out the bridge and tuners but hey that's standard

 A pair of EV ELX112P mains.  A pair of EV ELX118P subs.  QSC TouchMix-16.  (And just for fun, I got this throw into the deal, a Korg KP3, because God knows the Axe-FX isn't capable of making enough weird noises on its own.) It's a big splurge, but I did some amp trading and I gotta admit, the feeling of relief and being able to go full on 'gently caress no gently caress YOU I have my own PA' is pretty nice.

How are you liking the QSC? I've heard it's a cool little mixer. Speaking of mixers, a couple weeks ago my boss asked if I wanted to buy his old Neotek. I work with an analog guy who was excited about it so we picked it up. I'm not sure what we're going to do with it yet, he's already got another console but the price was right.

deeter posted:How are you liking the QSC? The iOS integration is pretty swank (although I'm going to need to replace my iPad I think, my to-do list tomorrow has me checking to see if it'll run on older models and such), the controls make sense, the pre's sound clear and solid and overall build quality seems to be alright. I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it. I WANTED to pop for the new Allen & Heath mixer, with the remote interface that connects via Cat5 BUT, it's a little pricey at the moment, and the 16 channel model isn't available yet apparently. The QSC seems ideal. 16 channels, I can throw it on the side of the stage, do the mixing from the floor with an iOS device (I THINK it has an Android app as well, but I'll have to ask my bass player about that later), everyone controls their own mix from their phones, security to keep people from loving up each others mixes, solid F/X and EQ options, yeah I think I'll dig it a lot. I'll be honest, most of my time with it this evening was spent opening it up, plugging the speakers into it so I could throw my iPod through it while I worked on my Axe-FX patches a bit to get ready for a 2-day festival coming up in a couple of weeks. I may or may NOT have started integrating the KP3 into things as well...I admit nothing, NOTHING.  I'm incredibly pleased with the EV system as well. Admittedly, like with my amps v/s the Axe-FX, I'm older and growing up and being in the scene, self-powered PA's are for Boy Scout camps and church socials. I've never really given them a glance because I haven't had any real NEED to. Well, for one thing, using the QSC K12's with the Axe-FX really served to open my eyes and now, hearing the EV system has REALLY turned things around. That pair of 12's and those subs will EASILY cover most any venue I'll regularly play within the near future. Anything they WON'T is probably going to have their own sound anyway. I'll probably add another pair of 12's, or MAYBE a pair of 15's over the next 6 months or so, just to get ready for the flatbed trailer in a pasture biker gig season next year and as a general backup, but I've got some time to mull it over. Either way, being able to get a full PA setup for around $4k that'll cover most any venue I'll run across is just incredible, that's not even counting shopping used or getting any discounts. That said, I am so loving DONE with spending money on gear upgrades this year, which granted, was a necessity, but still, I know I'm going to end up with a weird audit over all this. It's very very strange to consider setting up a PA nothing more than (basically) running mics into the board, running outs to the mains, daisy-chaining the subs off those and hitting the go switch, but that's pretty much it. No rack full of amps and crossovers and crap, no huge snarl of wires, no muss, no fuss. I am not complaining in the damned SLIGHTEST. Well...except for the fact that lights are in the near future.

I did the unthinkable in my first slow step towards ___dadism. I got myself a used SGJ, it was ~$420 and white, so without thinking I just pulled the trigger as fast as possible.  What a blast to play, the guitar feels essentially brand new, no wear at all. Lightning fast neck, gloriously light, and really well setup. Not to mention I seemed to have lucked out because this has no sharp frets and the nut seems cut well. It also seems like it's only two pieces of wood, which kind of surprised me because for the price I figured it would be 30 pieces glued together. Only tiny gripe is I like trapezoid inlays more, but that is pretty trivial; that and I would have put the jack someplace else if I had designed this guitar. My first Gibson and it did not break the bank at all. Time for badly played AC/DC.

I don't have pictures yet, but I ordered myself a surf green PB4 from Carvin the other day. I got the P/J setup and I'm going to be screaming on the inside until it arrives in something like 10 weeks. It'll look something like this, but with a maple fingerboard and black block inlays, black hardware, and a plain white pickguard. Any other Carvin folks out here?

Smash it Smash hit posted:oh my god. I think I need this. can I possibly run a cord out of it and run it through efx? oh my god. where do I order one? Yes, there is a 1/8 inch audio out where you can either plug in headphones, or plug in a cord to send the signal wherever you want. I already made some improvised ambient drone pieces by just sending it through a ton of reverb and then running it over various electronic devices. I might make a video demonstration of one of those this weekend. Cojawfee posted:So it's like a theramin? Sort of, in the sense that you can "play" it by moving it various distances between various electromagnetic field generating objects and can get different tones just by turning it. However, this does not change the pitch in the same way that a theramin works. Rather you can get different sounds out of it changing the angle and by loving around with whatever object you are listening to. Like if you hold it up to a smartphone and start using apps or even just scroll around you'll hear different kinds of sounds. Earlier today I took it over to my piano teacher's house and he has a Farfisa from the mid-60's which has some kind of motor based vibrato. I could get a lot of really great tones just from listening to different areas of the organ's body without even pressing anything, and then if you turn on the vibrato you can actually hear that warbling in the electromagnetic field. The sounds from computers, ereaders, cellphones etc. are more complex and unpredictable. Flipperwaldt posted:Or, I'm guessing, those DealExtreme "spy" gadgets to find out whether your room is bugged. Well literally any object that uses electricity makes a bunch of noises on this thing so it would give you a lot of false positives if you used it for that, unless you knew very specifically what to listen for.

I've never tried a Carvin bass, but I used to have a DC127 guitar that I liked a lot. Carvin's build quality is top notch. You think 10 weeks is bad? I've been waiting 9 months for my Dingwall, and I just heard from Long and Mcquade that it'll be a few more weeks yet.
