Spanish Manlove posted:thread challenge; show me a five string bass that isn't goofy and retarded as a general rule, I don't like basses with more than 4 strings. to me, there's just something about a nice natural fender p bass with just the split pickups, and those bigass open geared tuners. i like maple fretboards too so loving sexy wanna meet that bass

GreatGreen posted:I can't say anything about the quality of any of his guitars, but what I do know is that both a good friend of mine and I have called him before with the intent to buy from him. As in he didn't even have to sell us on anything. We just wanted some information before we made our purchases. In both instances, on separate days, he answered the phone with an immediate, horrible attitude, like he just couldn't believe the audacity of someone interrupting his day to try to give him money in exchange for an instrument. i've got a good friend with sort of a similar story. ed overcharges, is a complete narcissist, won't shut the gently caress up, ever, and wants to chip in his two cents, no matter what the freakin' topic is. so I don't want to make a huge mistake, but is an ibanez Jet King acceptable? i mean, i really like the sound of the guitar. I think it could have done without that top bit of tortex imho, but drat i really like the feel of this fuckin guitar am i in love with an ugly guitar?  its bad isnt it

Frankenstyle posted:I've only ever played an original from 85/86 and not a re-issue. If you don't mind tuning it every thirty seconds, it sounds so loving great. The tuning thing makes it a pain to use in a live show, but the crowds find the deep boom coming from a space Ukelele to be funny. not to mention that the stock strings will just snap if they're left under standard tuning tension in a matter of hours. i had an ashbory for all of two weeks before i gave it to some kid that reads too much talkbass

iostream.h posted:Is it specifically quilted maple that you hate or is it any of the figured tops? I'm genuinely curious because I see people say this from time to time. I'm not a fan of quilted tops - like the quilted maple top on the Schecter C+ I had - it was otherwise a great guitar, but I traded it away with some other gear to get an early '90's Paul Reed Smith when the opportunity arose.

Photex posted:Dude...I work with a lot gear too but what the gently caress do you have going on here thats not even half of the gear i've set got - but when i record my own drums i have my girlfriend sitting about 80 feet away watching poo poo - this is mostly presonus firewire stuff, i use studio one to record with, obviously you can see the bbe sonic maximizer and the eq's. for drums i play a frankenkit - i also have a custom kit i brought back from england - 10 lug 24" bass, and 6 rack toms with an 18" floor tom. i ditched the rack toms and play a 4 piece now, with some stuff i've rescued (a 22" ride that was keyholed and cracked that i turned down to 20", i built my own gong from 1/8" stainless steel, using smooth-cote stainless steel welding rods and a lot of time with a grinder - welded the supports from an old bed frame)

Dolphin posted:oh look a cellobass. i bet the person who made that thought "this is going to sound awesome" because of cello acoustics or some dumb poo poo. no, it was just repurposing something. it was broken, i had some other parts and i decided to try it out. it actually projects quite well unamplified, but that's not why i did it. i put a 1/8th inch piece of round rod in the bottom that is tightened with a wing-nut, so you play it like a stand up. with the lace pickup, it doesn't sound that bad. that cello body was literally trash. i got it for nothing and at the time was playing irish folk music, so it was a lot of fun to poke around on that with the group of fellas i was running around with at the time.

Photex posted:fair enough it works , it may not be pretty but once I noticed the snake and realized those were stereo outs it made sense. I don't quite understand the love for the bbe though everyone says its like taking a pillow off your instrument i dunno, really, the bbe maximizers are ok, i have a bbe sm stomp box for my bass that... i dunno, it's like adding salt to fries. almost all that stuff i got was in trade for some favor i did... like welding a feeder or hauling something. i have an agreement with my significant other about money and gear - yeah, i can make my own patch cabled, but i can't make a new computer monitor - i need to make it self sustaining as possible. i play some open mics, and that's ok. but when it comes to gear, i just scrounge whatever - that snake came from a place going out of business and i grabbed it. i read about miccing the resonant heads on drums, and it was a nightmare getting the gates set right. i hit hard. this is just simple poo poo i started off with an a7 chord. it's not hard to play, just fun for me. i'm very happy being a farmer, and have no aspirations of doing anything besides making music that i am happy with. it's like amateur photography for me. i'm not trying to impress anyone, and probably couldn't if i wanted to. https://soundcloud.com/harryinrio/on-the-cusp if you want to hear me really embarrass myself, holy poo poo, my singing is as bad as my guitar playing
