All hail Man or Astro-Man. Holy poo poo was that a good show. My wife got sick and had to leave halfway through and I almost divorced her. Never been mad with anyone for getting sick before but they were that awesome. Should have made her take a cab home.

duckfarts posted:AmpKit Link HD does(the HDD one is the one I meant earlier). The newer Sonic Port does, but not the older one that's also way cheaper. Checking Amazon, it's 120/92/200USD for the AmpKit Link HD/Sonic Port/New Sonic Port. The AmpKit seems like a nobrainer at first, but the Sonic Port has a proper 1/4" output jack so it's much better for connecting an amp than using the 3.5mm stereo jack in the ampkit or headphone jack if you go the Rocksmith cable and USB adapter route. Ah, wish I'd seen this before putting in an order for an Apogee Jam. Oh well, it'll be good enough for playing around the house, and if I ever do bring it someplace I'll make certain it's charged all the way.

$6,000 for a '67 Telecaster is about right, based on what I've seen. A Tele Custom is about twice that.

I'm looking to get a nice starter guitar that will last me as I progress. As of now, I'm chatting with a guy via craigslist about a ~10 year old PRS SE Soapbar II with a metal case for $325. I've looked around ebay, and this price seems reasonable upon first inspection. Am I setting myself up to get hosed? I hope this is the correct thread for this sort of question. Thanks, guys!

Stupid question but when you put in a new set of tubes do you need to slowly bring the main input up to 120v or can you just plug it into a wall and flip the amp on and be totally fine?

for high gain tones, immediately crank it, but for fendery cleans, you must slowly bring them up to temperature over a matter of days, and have to use a set of vintage tubes from soviet russia

Many retailers will test and put tubes through the paces to eliminate bad ones ahead of time. You're probably good to go.

TopherCStone posted:The answer to this is: no human hands are dainty enough to make these things go together. gently caress Gibson for using tiny-rear end molex connectors instead of something manageable. I guess I'll just remove the PCB entirely and replace the wiring with something more mod-friendly. I'm out a few bucks in parts to experiment with this, but that's not too bad. Having a quick-change system for pickups would be nice, but this implementation really lacks. I think every guitar I've taken a soldering iron to has used somewhere around 22 gauge wire, maybe 24, with like a 20 AWG ground to the bridge.

SubG posted:The main problem I see with the picoblade connectors is that they only accomodate, what, 26 or 28 AWG wire. Do recent Gibsons really use wire that thin? On the pickups they do, but they're not using picoblades for everything. They have some other sockets in there for larger wires, and some stuff is still soldered in. Long story short is that Gibson went with the PCB to simplify assembly for them, and they did not design it in a way to be easily modified (in fact they may have gone out of their way to make it less easily modified).

I was looking at the LTD EC10 but I'm open to other suggestions. A) Djent's deader than dead. It's all about OSDM worship these days, grampa. Also you want lower output pickups to get the noodly clean parts to sound right, and you'll need extra noise gating/eq cuts to make rails tight enough. B) Assuming you're not getting a 7+ string, anything with an extended scale neck will get the requisite twang your POD Farm presets need to truly shine Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Sep 29, 2014 |

True Widow tunes to G# I think? And Kowloon Walled City I know tunes down to "A#" as they call it. The beginning of this is guitar tuned to G#. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82qoobOs1go Also, this is in C, and it rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqZaT_SdPg8

How come you rarely see metal played in an open minor tuning? Been loving about with CGCGCD# and AEAEAC for a while and it seems perfect. You've got the single finger power chords, minor chords, very simple sus2's by shifting octave strings up a full step and muting the 3rd. Some scales need a bit of a stretch but for rhythm, simple melody work and sweeping over harmonics it's perfect. Works fine with 10-52's for C, low 56 for B or a 60 for A. Now to see how my Bass VI holds up in Cross DADFAD going from drop D shouldn't be too tricky as I just have to tune the 1st and 3rd strings down a step but the 2nd is up a half step.

Happened to see the selection the other night and was salivating over those big E strings they can provide.

Circle K are stupidly expensive in the UK. Only option here are Labella custom sets and half the price will go on shipping. I ordered some the same week I bought my VI as the stock 84' E was floppy as poo poo and after a short while tinkering it seems 26-96 works fine for DADFAD while being a little tight in standard. Some buzz but it doesn't come through the amp. I'll give it a few hours to settle and see if the truss rod needs adjusting.muike posted:Aliases tune to open C, (as does devin townsend), Opeth has a song in open D minor, I think, and gojira has a song in open C minor Thanks. I knew about Gojira and Devin Townsend, just wondering why it's not more common compared to say drop tuning which is already half way there. Loads of classic rock and blues use open tunings and there's something about open minor tunings that scream Blackened Doom to me. Verizian fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Sep 29, 2014 |

So, being newly addicted to Suhr guitars (seriously, do anything it takes to go try one out) I spec'd out my dream build, $4500. Question is: I haven't fired up an amp since getting my Axe-FX, how dumb would it be to unload an amp to snag this?
