#blackgazelivesmatter I can't help but feel that blackgaze would be much better as strictly instrumental music. Maligned though they are I like deafheaven until matey starts shrieking. I'm not averse to extreme vocals at all but it always comes across a bit incongruous with blackgaze.

When I first heard the term I thought it would be post rock with blast beats but turns out it's just black metal with weird chords and clean sections. Alcest and Ameseouers are the best though. Your daughter may like those, if you can spell the second one right.

There's a punk band round here who are musically very '77, sorta early Clash/Ramones sound but the singer seems to want to be in Crass or Discharge. Its weird having mostly major music with "Raarghblahblahraaaarg" vocals on the top. Suppose it broadens the bills they can play on and they've been going since before 1990 so someone must dig it.

I've been curious about the Revstars since my local shop has some, but all the online info I've found (including Yamaha's website itself) has been spectacularly uninformative. I might just have to bug the guys at the shop next time I'm there instead; they're a Yamaha dealer so they probably know.

Also check out Violet Cold, dude is prolific as gently caress but one of my favourite albums of his is Magic Night which is instrumental and awesome. It has the beautiful but depressing but triumphant atmosphere going with all the tremolo you could ask for, but no vocals at all. https://youtu.be/EOJeYXDpYZo Edit: like most Atmospheric or *gaze stuff all the songs are "growers" for sure, and lend themselves more towards background music than active listening but YMMV. Speaking of which I really need to work on (aka start) tremolo picking, since basically everything I listen to these days uses it extensively. I'm still kinda stuck on noodling pentatonic over random YouTube backing tracks though, it's hard to stop.

I'm buying upgrade stuff for my Talman (GFS Hard Vintage noiseless pickups plus a new wiring harness since I need new pots) and I'm completely paralyzed by the question "do I want new knobs". Funny how the most trivial question is the hardest to answer. (Right now it's got white Strat-style knobs, I was thinking of switching to black ones but also these would look pretty badass.)

It's heeeere. It's an Ibanez AF207, made in '98 in Japan. I figured I'd talk details here and just post photos in the new gear thread. I need to make some decisions about string gauge and rounds, grounds or flats but it came with a set of .013 gauge flats on it and a .75 low A string. It is short scale so a lot of the decision making will be with how to get it to intonate better, although even if I can't get it perfect it is certainly good enough that I won't have any practical problems. It is so loving good. Sounds awesome, feels awesome. I didn't realize the body depth was so shallow and it is just so comfortable, awesome neck profile (not too thick, not too thin D profile). If you have played a high end Ibanez then I don't really need to go into details but it is just solid and sounds so drat good that I am going to be bringing this on gigs when I don't even need the 7th string. It certainly isn't flashy but I dig the look big time.

Dr. Faustus posted:Not for everyone, but this is, as we say, "extremely my poo poo." That looks rad! Is there anywhere to get aftermarket Talman pickguards yet? I kind of want a Tort one for mine (and if I could get one with room for a middle pickup all the better...) I'm trying to figure out how to wire my Fluences. The RGA has Volume, Tone, and a 5-way switch with the normal Ibanez Neck / Neck Parallel / Both / Inner Coils / Bridge wiring scheme. The Fluences have inner and outer coil tap options as well as a voicing switch. I'll definitely put the voice switch on a push-pull pot, but I'm not sure if I should just do coil tap on the other pot and replace the 5-way with a 3-way, or if I should try to do something wacky to try to get both outer and inner coil options. Would love to be able to have both-inner plus neck- and bridge-outer options. If I added a mini-toggle I could change which coil was tapped when I went into tap mode, but then I'd be drilling. I could go six-way and have Neck - Neck-Outer - Both - Both Inner - Bridge-Outer - Bridge, but I think that's going to be bananas to wire up.

I've seen a few bass pickguards but nothing for the guitars, aside from the usual slightly-sketchy custom places. My personal wish is a HSS version of the Strat Talman -- I know Ibanez has lots of HSS options but they all seem to have variations on the Wizard neck which I'm not really a fan of (I'm also not really a fan of the typical Ibanez superstrat aesthetic, even the more subdued examples.)

Just played one in GC today since someone here mentioned it. The one I played was the same as the one you did. They play and sound fantastic. Great upper fret access. The neck is on the smaller side without being too small, which I like. The p90s seemed to match up perfectly to the Bassbreaker. I played it through a Bassbreaker 15 (fantastic amp I should really own). I wanted to compare it to a Gibson with P90s, but where I went didn't have a single Gibson with p90s on the floor. Instead played a Gibson LP Studio afterwards, and though that guitar was pretty meh in comparison. The only reasons I didn't like it were for the dumb reasons that shouldn't matter but do. The body style isn't too bad. I prefer a Gibson style 3 way over the blade. And I don't really like the headstock for whatever reason. However, if I was blindfolded while playing, I don't think I would have any complaint about this guitar. But I might be one of those styles that could grow on me.

I finally bit the bullet and raised the action on my E and A strings on my Talman to try to get rid of some pesky fret buzz that wouldn't be killed by anything else and it... made the guitar easier to play? That seems counterintuitive, but maybe it's because I don't have to put as much mental effort into playing now.

I've been sitting on the idea of wanting a super Strat for a while. It's not going away. Based on the new market specifically, what's cool in the under $1,200 range? Wouldn't mind hearing thoughts on HH vs HSS vs HSH. I love my CV60s Strat to death and even if I swap pickups someday it'll be my go to for SSS sounds. I can't decide what could be a good pickup setup for the future superstrat without being too close to the CV. HH is an easy great option and wouldn't cross over with the SSS. The HSS look does something to my brain (I stare at pictures of greg howe for 2 hours minimum a day) and the utility of having a thick bridge pickup for high gain while being able to get the in between position clean sounds from the neck/middle sounds neat. HSH is classic for that 80s super look and feel but I can't help but think my love of simplicity would be bothered by my inevitable disregarding of the single coil. Halp.

Well man, in that case I'm not sure because, to me a "SuperStrat" isn't usually a Fender. (It's usually some form of Ibanez RG.) I love H/S/S and H/S/H, because there are lots of options with both. Ibanez does NOT make enough hard-tail guitars with three pickups. The Iron Label stuff is cool but they're all H/H. To me, the perfect "Superstrat" looks something like this (in form, if not in finish): https://reverb.com/item/816611-ibanez-rg-471-ah-2011-natural-ash For example, why can't I just get something like this with H/S/H or H/S/S? http://www.ibanez.com/products/eg_detail17.php?year=2017&area_id=3&cat_id=1&series_id=1&data_id=432&color=CL01 Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Sep 3, 2017 |

The RG471 came out at $400 and the QC was dogshit. They had great features but you never knew if you'd get a decent one. They're still making versions it, I have to assume the QC is better now. But I don't see any three-pickup versions. The blue one I posted is $400, but only comes in H/H. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RG421AHMBMT Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Sep 3, 2017 |
