All-rosewood necks are intensely cool to me. Just wanted to say that.

What the gently caress Yngwie. Like how could you think this is a good idea? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvH1Wl6J50Y Edit: Honestly at this point Yngwie's best impersonator is just straight up superior to the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzjOPyAsn4M&t=192s is better neoclassical shred than anything Yngwie's done since the 80s.

Bill Posters posted:Yeah, I got a gloss Allparts neck for a parts bass and the finish was sprayed right over the frets without any clean up. I thought something was seriously wrong when the frets started cracking and crumbling under the strings but it was just the lacquer coming off. It might be common. My American std Strat with maple neck was the same way. Most of the frets were sanded down, but the parts that weren't had the lacquer on them still. No cracking noises or anything, just some crumble on the tops of the frets of the excess. As I did string bends it all got wiped away.

Yngwie is like a parody of himself these days but you still gotta give him credit for what he's done. He's a good example of what happens when you take a sheltered Swede and give him money and power though, goes all Ayn Rand on us.

The used to use pennies with a notch filed into them to clean the top of the fret off.

I don't disagree with any of this really. Just meant that 2019 Joe Stump is (rather obviously) a far better musician and guitarist than 2019 Yngwie. I probably listen to Yngwie's 80s albums once a week. You expect people to rest on their laurels I guess, and grats to him for the Ferrarris, but Joe's actually made some effort to...improve... over the past 20 years whereas Yngwie has somehow gotten dramatically worse (at composition at least).

This was posted in my Nine Inch Nails thread, but a decade ago on April Fools Day 2009, Trent Reznor teased this joke mashup album called Strobe Light with really stupid track titles and this as the cover art: It was never actually a real project, though.....................until now  https://seed9.bandcamp.com/ Now you can finally hear Everybody's Doing It (featuring Bono, Chris Martin & Jay-Z) and Pussygrinder (featuring Sheryl Crow)!!! Hahahahahaha

Ritchie Blackmore firing Graham Bonnet from Rainbow because he didn't match their grubby long-haired aesthetic is definitely stupid music poo poo, since we were talking Alcatrazz.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Yeah I'm wondering too. I don't think I've heard any new NIN on this thing, or at least nothing newer than The Slip which was the newest album a decade ago when this was first teased, but this tracklist is definitely longer than the one he teased a decade ago. It's not "real" it's a mashup record so the idea of it is also 10 years old.

Y'all think if I get some of these 3"x 3" panels to treat the bedroom I keep all my guitars in I can get closer to that real upstate NY sound? https://peaceofwoodstockstage.com/collections/peace-of-woodstock-stage-collectibles/products/the-stage-cube Article explaining the world's least rock and roll move here: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/31/nyregion/woodstock-festival-1969-stage-souvenir.html And because I feel like it bears repeating: yes, that is $500 for a 3"x 3" piece of plywood. Well I mean with a plexiglass cube and a photo print and a plaque... it adds up.

Wark Say posted:You wanna read some Ritchie Blackmore-related stupid music poo poo? I have a friend who, for the longest time, had a deep, unhealthy disdain for any guitar other than Les Paul Customs. The more gently caress-up-your-back heavy, the better in his opinion, because any guitar that wasn't heavy was just a "toy". It wasn't until this one weekend we saw Blackmore play one of his olympic white strats that he made a complete 180 on it. lol i played with someone kinda like this once except he used the heaviest gauge guitar strings he could find and had the action super high cause it was more "tough" therefore better. im sure it was but i couldnt tell with how much he kept loving up when we played.

ASenileAnimal posted:very true! ive had my eyes on the bass vi they make after seeing someone play one live. doitdoitdoitdoit I played a Squier VI live a whole bunch, and not on VI stuff, as a regular bass along with a Mustang PJ, just for different options. They're really nice for the price point, and once you get the bridge figured out or modified to the point it'll intonate, they play surprisingly well. From there, you can decide if you want to switch it to the La Bella 767 strings or stay stock, and figure out whether or not you want to swap the vibrato plate for one with a lock. Then you can start trying to run calculus on whether or not it's worth the $1300 to pick up a Fender Japan VI reissue or one of the Pawn Shop instruments (hint: It's not, but that didn't stop my dumb rear end from doing it anyway). CheesyDog posted:... Squier's diversity in models ... This has been where Fender's been knocking it out of the park. Ever since the introduction of the Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified, and doubly so since the Pawn Shop line was discontinued, this has been where to look for things that are Vaguely Interesting. There was the Squier Duo-Sonic before the offset series came back, the weird Jazzmaster with the dual vol/tone and detented tone pots, the various baritones over the last couple of years, the VI in vintage modified and now classic vibe for some reason, and last year's launch of the contemporary line. Hopefully, Fender keeps up with the Alternate Reality series... Parallel Universe was cool and all, but way expensive for what were effectively 'oops we have too many spare parts and it's inventory tax season' experiments.

I just put flatwound .12's on my strat copy to try what the old surf bands used to play. The terrifying part was listening to my guitar creak as I tuned them, having never put anything on that guitar but .10's. They make my forearm throb after a while, but it's really fun playing with strings like bridge cables. I'd recommend trying it if you have a spare guitar with bright pickups into a bright amp. That guy, though, sounds like an rear end in a top hat.

Like, the only reason I ever use 13's is if I'm doing like C standard on a 25.5 scale or something, but for the last year or so, the main two guitars I've been using have been equipped with 10-58 on a 7 string (Standard B tuning) and 10-74 on the 8-string (standard F# tuning), and it feels right.
