"you can turn the bass down or if you had a sturdier amp like a Marshall it would be able to handle it" lol

I will never understand gearheads. I've played shows in large indoor and outdoor venues going direct to house through a Vox Tonelab SE, and know quite a few other guitarists who do the same. It is simple, consistent, and I get the precise 'dialed in' sound I want, every time. My bass player does prefer that I split to a 1X12 amp on stage for his reference, but its not mic'd. Then there are the bands that show up at the 75 person cap venue I mix at with full stacks and SVT 8X10s. Or any venue really - Only one speaker is mic'd. I think huge-rear end amp/cabs are rendered obsolete/useless by modern monitoring and FOH reproduction. I can't see why anyone needs anything more than a small combo at most, anymore

Whatever you feel most comfortable playing and will bring the best performance out of you. I can get by with a 15 watt 110, but I'll happily admit it doesn't have the bass response and feel of a high power 412 onstage even if you can't tell the difference out front, and a metal or djent player is going to want that. Depends where you want to compromise with weight and price too. I am lazy, and know I can get by on monitors and my Roland keyboard for organ gigs; but that doesn't mean if I wouldn't be touring a B3 and Leslie 122 if I had the stage-space and roadies for them. Like that guy said, gear is fun.

i'm kind of a gear head and I didn't even become like this until years after i started playing, i'll never do a gig large or small but if I had the money I'd totally blow it on a Madison Square Garden level rig.

I could probably get by with less, but gently caress if this doesn't make an incredibly self contained system that is pretty dead reliable. - ElevenRack ($275 used) - Carvin TS100 power amp ($400 used) - Mesa 4x12 Recto slant cab ($500 used) - Ground Control Pro foot controller ($375 new) So for under $1500, I have something that can do almost anything I need in the smallest self contained setup possible (I guess other than a Pod XT or something to replace GCP and 11rack). I don't have to deal with pedals or only having "one sound" without changing half a dozen knobs on amps/pedals/etc. I set the power amp to the rough volume I need and can fine tune with the preamp output volume without changing tone, like quieting a traditional tube amp. The only change I could see is switching from a 4x12 and tube power amp to a pair of QSC K8s. Would cut the 30lb tube amp from my 4U rack and the 100 lb 4x12 and replace it with a pair of 30 lb powered speakers. Could also split one K8 for myself, one K8 for vocals, and run a XLR out to the FOH setup.  gear crap to make music no one listens to anymore

So apparently open-reel tape is making a big comeback as the idiot's- I mean, audiophile's choice listening medium. I have some reels of 1/4" tape from various manufacturers laying around; where would be my best bet to make some coin off of it? A part of me does want to hold onto the tapes in case I ever acquire a tape machine to track some waaaaarm drum busses, but I also like money.

For gear reviews I've found Keith Merrow and Ola Englund's to be the gold standard. They both shut the hell up and just play from the beginning of the video, and most clips have solo'd raw guitars or whatever in them at some point. Also palm muting and trem picking. Unfortunately they both tend to dial in whatever piece of gear to sound like their usual boxy generic whitebread  modern high gain metal tone and then use that to play riffs from whatever super generic music project they're working on but I'm happy to put up with that.Ferroque posted:The band I had on my radio show yesterday had to borrow some gear because of travel issues.

No, you can totally tell the difference out front. Your stage volume is going to be hosed if your little baby amps can't even keep up with the drums. And monitors are not going to make up for that enormous gap in the sound, nor are they meant to. The singer would be hosed if he had to sit there with the guitars blasting in his face the whole show. lol. Your band would have a huge U of sound with only the clattering of the drums and the mewling of tiny amps coming up the middle.

Your band would have a huge U of sound with only the clattering of the drums and the mewling of tiny amps coming up the middle. Not that I have ever experienced. Vocalist can pull guitar down in his monitor mix if they're too high up for him. And most vocalists use IEMs on middle to large stages nowadays, again rendering the mega amps redundant at best. Small rooms are easily overpowered by gigantic amps and the guitarists love to throw poo poo fits when they can't get to the break on their overpowered "had to have it, blew all my money on it so can't afford something reasonable and easy to transport to a bar gig" marshal stack and I'm telling them to turn it down because they're drowning out the vocals and anything else coming direct.

They are absurdly powerful, it's kind of amazing. I just wish they had a built in volume cut or something, I can't play off a 1x12 in an apartment at more than about a 2 on each dial. I'm actually using a lovely 6 inch speaker from a tiny practice amp and I can get it up to a range around 4-5. It's only dumb because that little bastard shouldn't be that loud.

I'm booking gigs for the local punk/hardcore/metal scene, and I find it hilarious that bass players will keep lugging their 8x10 ampeg cabs around everywhere because anything less won't cut it. I've seen vans arrive containing the members of two bands, their instruments, sleeping bags and clothes, and the enormous amp the bassist just had to bring along because the one we offered was too small.darkwasthenight posted:Whatever you feel most comfortable playing and will bring the best performance out of you.

Funny you should say that, we usually offer 412 cabs to every visiting band, and the only guitarists that have denied the offer are a local djent/metal band who just wanted their Axe FX going straight to the console.

Djent was a really bad example because nearly all of those guys are digital now I think about it. Active pickups into Axe FX or Kemper to board, maybe a poweramp for monitoring. Makes sense if you're constantly switching between super clean arps and mega downtuned extended range djent I guess.

jazzmaster trem is the best trem, gently caress yeah. anything else feels stupid to me (I'd go with the Staytrem bridge though, not a Mastery) I want to put one on a strat edit: also dude should have gone with a Squier JM trem because there's no Fender logo and the screws directly under the strings are relocated slightly farther out so they can't possibly touch the strings no matter how hosed up your trem is or how fat the strings are City of Tampa fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 8, 2015 |
