Engine Fortegue posted:I'll admit to being guilty of this, I never even was interested in explorers until I found coheed and now You know, I've never really felt the urge to play the same guitars my idols do. I often want to get the same sound, but as far as the same body style, color, whatever, I've just never really cared. Then again, I'm not really a "guitarist" so much as a songwriter who plays a lot of guitar, so I guess my view of guitars is more utilitarian.

FFT posted:It's just a midi controller with a fuckload of controls, actually. Keystations don't have any synth capabilities. Which just makes its weight weirder, really. It's got a great key action, though. I think the two are related - my sense has always been that having a good weighted keyboard usually implies that the unit is pretty drat heavy.

Uncle Caveman posted:I'm just mad for obsolete electronics; I simply adore them. Oh man, you and me both. I used to have a little drum machine called the Memphis Blue Beat.  It was built into something that looked like a guitar pedal, and was just the most hilariously lo-fi boop-bippity-boop-boop-bip rhythm section I've ever heard. It was like having a game of Pong for your percussion section. I wish I hadn't sold that now.

My new ukulele and bowed psaltery: And here is a little demo track I made primarily using those two instruments. The only other things on there are a bass, some tambourine, and Fruity playing the drums. The performance leaves something to be desired (I spent a grand total of maybe 15 minutes on it), but it does sound kinda like Gorillaz.  Extra special thanks to TapTheForwardAssist for finding the psaltery on Ebay and passing the link on to me. mofolotopo fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Sep 30, 2007 |

TapTheForwardAssist posted:Distinctive! The uke part sounds great, you clearly have the guitar chops. Psaltery takes some time to get used to; are you using rosin on the bow or no? The right balance of rosin (I think) and refining the bowing technique will help to smooth out the sound. I think it's more technique than lack of rosin - I'm pretty terrible at it still. I'm going to be leaving the country for a few months soon, so I'm probably not going to get much chance to improve before the end of the year. Ah well, something to do over Christmas vacation!

TapTheForwardAssist posted:If you want to get a feel for banjo without having to put up cash, just play some clawhammer on your ukulele. I've been doing exactly this for about a month, and am indeed getting better at it. My main issue is that my downstrokes seem awfully quiet. I've got these Kala Red faux-gut strings on it, though, which may be the culprit.

citizenlowell posted:I picked this up impulsively yesterday after seeing it on Craigslist. It's a Magnus electric chord organ. I used to have one very much like that. They can be a lot of fun, but the silly thing is that since they run on air blowing over reeds they get quieter the more simultaneous notes you play. Requires a bit of forethought to use them in a band situation.

Syrus posted:It's a marketting scheme Fender has. They put almost all the volume in the first couple notches of the knob so no one ever needs to turn it past three, but if you ever do you'll find that 4-6 sound about the same and that you don't push much more volume at all. If you're into invalidating your warranty you can take out the volume pot for a taperred audio pot instead of the localized one they have now. You know, my Peavey Classic 50 is the same way. It's pretty much a Fender clone, so I wonder if they copied even that.

Swollen Member posted:Jaguars have a shorter scale than almost every single other Fender guitar. Most Fender guitars have a 25.5" scale length, whereas the Jaguar (and the Mustang) have a 24" scale length. Most Gibson guitars have a 24.75" scale length. Other than the scale length though, the Jaguar isn't much (if at all) smaller than a Jazzmaster and it's certainly larger than almost every other solid body electric guitar I have played. In fact, it was purposely designed to be larger because it is designed (well the Jazzmaster was anyways) to be played in the seated position -- the designers gave it more girth so it would sit well in your lap. Why are those guitars on the bed? You're about to have sex with them, aren't you?

hamaien posted:I really wish I knew why Line 6 didn't decide to put a reverb stomp switch on this one I've just been reading the manual for the X3 Live, and it looks like you can assign the comp/boost switch to reverb instead. I'm seriously thinking that I may try to whip something together where my laptop is controlling the X3 Live and using it for live one-man-band shows. I could run audio backing tracks out from the laptop into the CD in, run vocals through the XLR, guitar through the 1/4", and MIDI control signals to switch tones for vox/guitar as needed, cued to the rest of the audio so I don't even have to step on pedals. Everything could run to the board using the stereo XLR outs. Oops, got an erection. mofolotopo fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Nov 16, 2007 |

RSPsych0 posted:Yes, this is why I bought the firewire box. He was saying I could do it with USB. The latency was poo poo with the XT Live because it was USB 1. The X3 Live is USB 2, and should be okay. That said, I haven't tried mine out yet for live recording because my studio comp isn't connected to the internet and Line 6 wants you to do all the installation poo poo while connected.
