So if I have a late 80's MIJ S-series (in which I've put a chopper/true velvet/gravity storm) then I've got at least the equivalent of one of the modern indonesian JEMs? That's cool AF!

I remember seeing that picture before and wondering why the hell they didn't at least plug a go-nowhere cable into Bush's guitar so he wouldn't be so conspicuously not really participating. Lee Atwater was like the blues daddiest of all blues dads, though, and he started a blues-themed Memphis-style barbecue mini-chain here in the DC area called Red Hot & Blue (same as the title of that album you linked) that is still around and that I never want to eat at because of the association with Lee Atwater.

Allen Wren posted:What, like, upright pianos? I don't piano, so I dunno what you mean. Console and Studio pianos are the two most common upright pianos you'll see and the name is a reference to how tall the soundboard is; going Spinet, Console, Studio, Upright, in that order. Proper full scale Uprights are pretty rare, and Spinet were mostly student and parlour instruments. Console are your stereotypical thumpalong drama teacher models. There's a gorgeous Wurlitzer spinet in the studio I use and it's a real treat to play, but generally (either through bad craftsmanship or lack of maintenance) consoles will tend to fall somewhere between 'playable' and 'burn this poo poo'.

Southern Heel posted:Faustus, is yet something intrinsically great about earlier Jems versus newer? You are an authority in my eyes and I need to know if a second hand black floral is s better choice than a modern blue floral. My experience with Indo Ibanezes has been as follows: RG471AH: Cheap guitar ($400) with perfect simplicity and horrible neck finishing. My luthier showed me how they tried to re-level the upper frets but rushed it out before final dressing was complete. He also told me that I have to listen carefully if I adjust the truss rod because in some areas of rotation it will rattle against the channel. A slight adjustment and it goes away, though, so it's manageable. I still love it, now that the frets have been finished properly. Fretwork only cost $70.oo. I put more than that into the pickups, pickup covers, and push-pull potentiometers. JEM70VSFG: The guitar on the first page ($1400.oo). And second page. And several other pages. I loved it except the high E would get caught under the edge of the fret as I push my pick through the strings. I thought it would be an easy fix and ignored it because I was too busy enjoying the RG471... until I realized that it was EVERY fret that had a gap on the treble side. Hoshino USA fixed that and sent it back all in a week and it's been great ever since. Cost me all of $30 (the cost to ship it to PA from NC with insurance). Admittedly that's pretty bad for a brand new $1400.oo guitar. On the other hand, I have a Spector Legend 5 bass and my new Talman which both came from their Indonesian factories absolutely perfect. I would love to have the new blue JEM (again, muike is correct: it's a "Premium," meaning cheap, JEM from Indonesia). I think it's actually a little more attractive than the print on the original (which a buddy of mine has had since they came out and I'm intensely envious of that). I am less leery of the Indo factory now but I still expect trouble. The Talman was a real surprise. It had features I wasn't expecting (maple fretboard, locking tuners, good-sounding pickups) and I cannot find a single fault in the build quality. Putting the JBE Danny Gatton pickups in it (which cost 3/4 of the price of the guitar itself) just blew me away. I've been back at work since late April and it still calls to me to noodle around on it every night after work. I'll go sit with it a bit before after Game of Thrones tonight. Either the QC is getting better or I just got lucky. *shrug* Obviously, if I had a lot more cash I'd still be buying all MIJ Ibanezes (I've always wanted that white JEM, too.)

I feel like it's one of those things were before you know it you end up with 50 guitars and can't get rid of any because you're attached to them. I have 8 and I only really need 2 of them, my Steinberger and my Classical because they're completely different sides of the spectrum, all of the others are in-betweens I could do without and make some money off of but some are collector's items now and the others I'd feel bad getting rid of.

Yeah it's all "this is pretty cool!!" and various *~tonez~* things I currently have one acoustic, a strat-type, a les paul-type, a jazzmaster, and a weird frankensteined hollow thing from roughly the 60s probably though the neck is less certain and I love them all I pretty much just play the les paul-type the hollow thing anymore, one does crunchy and the other is a clean machine e: Some part of me wants to blow cash on a set of bareknuckle single coils for the strat type and the rest wants to keep the G&L ones that are in it and this has paralyzed me into keeping it how it is

Yeah it's literally a matter of whether I want ludicrously overwound single coils or vintage wound ones more. G&L pickups are really good though and I'm not sure I wanna throw out that sort of responsiveness that they have. It's why it's so confusing  e: Honestly they respond to high gain pedals or whatever really well so I know this is just me thinking THAT WOULD BE COOL Shugojin fucked around with this message at 01:41 on May 16, 2016 |

Dr. Faustus posted:
Then you missed the part where goldilocks used a guitar synth set to saxophone for those smooth jazz tones. Is the JC120 the most popular backline amp in the states? I don't think it has nearly the same status here in northern Europe. Most riders I have read ask for Vox AC30/AC15 or Fender Twin. Rock and punk bands want 100w marshall stacks, and metallers want highgain Engls or Diezels or maybe just a channel on the mixer to plug their Axe FX into. Bassists are obviously compensating for something, because everyone has to have an Ampeg SVT-CL or similar with 8x10 cabs, no matter how small the venue is.

Is there much difference between the CE and the CH, apart from the one having more EQ options? Also, is the Sea Machine any good? I loved my Rainbow Machine but a) had to sell it to make rent one month and b) I never really used it musically, more as a catalyst for making hosed-up noises, and I'm leaning more towards gear I can use for actually making songs happen. hexwren fucked around with this message at 08:47 on May 16, 2016 |

What you've described is pretty much spot on for how it is here in the states. The JC120 is known to be a completely sterile, clinical, squeaky clean sounding amp that does exactly that sound, either with or without chorus, and nothing else, which is fine and great if that's what you're going for, but to use it for anything else would be the equivalent of using a lawn mower as your daily drive to work vehicle.

The CH is a bit more intense so it's probably better suited to the John McGeoch/post punk style stuff, the CE seems better suited to clean chords like on Rooster by Alice in Chains, although they can both do the sick warbling detuned sound. I think if i had to choose I'd go with the CE5 because of the better EQ. If you're after a huge range of crazy chorus/delay sounds though, what you want is the EHX Polychorus Chalupa Joe fucked around with this message at 10:09 on May 16, 2016 |

If I were actually trying to go into show business and my name was Johnny DeMarco I'd change my name. Steve Oliver's video was pretty fascinating, though. Thanks for sharing it. I've never been able to get that kind of vibrato on my classical. It's at my Dad's house because he's more interested in playing it than I am (he's 75 and his fingers are starting to twist, so he doesn't play a lot anymore). Who am I kidding? I haven't spent a minute trying to learn to play it. It was another gift guitar that I keep but never play. Same reason I don't play the jazz hollowbody or any intricate finger-picking stuff. I don't have that kind of dexterity and I'm scared of trying to learn. My ability to play (what little I did have) ossified years ago. I admit that the synth/pickup technology was pretty impressive, but from a more purist perspective it's stupid music poo poo. P.S. - I did go back and watch the whole JC-120 demo. The jazz bit in the middle had me crying. I figured if I were going to subject my friends to it, I owed it to them to watch the whole thing myself.
