Dr. Faustus posted:Anyway, the point was: Does anyone really use double-neck and if so, what are they? I'm fascinated. I feel that if I had, say, a double-neck 12/6-string, I might need two signal chains (amps and effects) to run them through. That's a lot of effort for something I could probably ignore or do with a pedal. The only band I can think of that uses a doubleneck is El Ten Eleven. It's a duo of a bassist and a drummer and the bassist does a lot of live looping. His gear has been changing frequently, but he plays an old Carvin bass/guitar doubleneck. He also plays a bass VI-like bass and also does looping. Its weird indie music and their claim to fame was making the soundtrack for the documentary on Helvetica (yes, the font). I do want a doubleneck bass/guitar because I really like live looping and it's pretty great to not have to change instruments. I've had wild ideas of building stereo signal paths and controlling a flexible looper. Nothing has materialized and I have since bought an electric banjo (which I have recently modified, and probably should belong in the thread) because I apparently have been dropped on my head. Also I like scalloped necks. To be fair, the only one I've played is a Yamaha Billy Sheehan signature bass where only the highest 5 frets are scalloped. Still, I'll post my parts bass that's almost done. It's a G&L tribute bass neck and cheap, b-stock components, so I have a lot of very poor routing and some dremel scallops. I'm not sure how it'll finally work out, but this bass is definitely about the journey of piecing it together.

Record multiple tracks to SD card and trigger with foot switches. Bonus points if you can record a live loop then have triggers on a drumkit play the sample. Raspi is limited to a small number of tracks due to the low power hardware but you could save more than that to SD card and only have so many loaded for playback at one time. In theory. Or you could go hog wild with an arduino based midi controller and just plug it into a laptop running a DAW, then trigger recording to new tracks or playback of existing ones as you please.

Verizian posted:http://szymonkaliski.com/projects/loop-pi/ Oh I have an EHX 45000 looper and a Keith Mcmillen soft step. All looper have weird limitations and the EHX's problem is that all loops have to be same length. That said 4 independent loops that can be quantized to a MIDI clock was the big pro for the unit. That way I can get my synths synced up. My current ideal is just a computer running Ableton Live with something like Amplitube. That's probably the most flexible option out there especially if you set it up to also sequence synths, but it requires a super low latency, which I currently don't have the setup for. Plus it's every kid's dream to play live with a laptop. Just imagine I posted that gif of Skrillex smashing his Mac book.

Out of the shreddy dudes I think Satch is my favourite, he seems fairly down to earth for such a weirdo and the stuff he puts his name to gear wise is good, I'll always have a spot for my Time Machine. As I've probably said at various points, I really don't 'get' bluesy stuff but with him I find it listenable. I saw some guy locally put up one of the Vai overdrives for some horrific price. I have a lot of respect for Vai and his 30 hr guitar workout is a great resource, I think he's like some hybrid thread mascot/punchbag. Plus with no Vai there'd be no KoRn and I don't wanna live in that world.

Hooray for Vai chat! Honestly, I'd forgotten about that song (Fever Dream) but I look at it this way: That heart guitar was just a dumb idea he had because he was in David Lee Roth's band for crying out loud. Everything Diamond Dave did back then was flashy and crazy and flat-out over-the-top silly. I will unabashedly maintain "Eat 'Em and Smile" and "Skyscraper" are two of the best rock albums ever made, and stand up to the first Van Hagar album (5150) which was the summer of my senior year of High School and it was inspiring. Skyscraper and 5150 were the soundtrack to all those fun summer nights with my buds and my girlfriend as we all got ready to move on to college and see what life had waiting for us. So Vai takes that silly prop guitar and he actually makes something composed, interesting, melodic, and musical out of it. I mean, that's why I love him. He's a total dingus but that's ok. He's totally passionate about his craft and of course it's not for everyone. He doesn't do things by half measures. Regarding Satriani, I am even more mixed: On the one hand, he's an absolute perfectionist. You can pull up a million YouTubes of one of his tunes and he nails it, perfectly, the same way, every time. Note-for-note, harmonic for harmonic, dive-bomb for dive-bomb. He's absolutely consistent in a way few rock guitarists are. On the other hand, he bores me. I haven't really enjoyed anything he's done since Flying in a Blue Dream and he doesn't really seem to reach, to evolve. Vai, on the other hand, is always trying new poo poo. It may be awful, but he's always going in different places. He takes more chances and doesn't always land as well, but Satch just seems stuck in a rut for the last couple decades. God love him, I still came home from school/work and play played Surfing (the whole album) every day before my Dad came home from work to force me to unplug or get yelled at for disturbing the peace. Also, I had a rather involved text convo with Dirt last night and I am shocked. SHOCKED. At how wrong his opinions about Stevie Ray Vaughan are!   (Agree to disagree bro, but now I know your dirty secret!)Bill Posters posted:brb; travelling back in time to kill Steve Vai. NonzeroCircle posted:I think he's like some hybrid thread mascot/punchbag. Even the intro has its moments as the fretless guitar stuff reminds me of Adrian Belew playing "Matte Kudasai," which is a loving gorgeous King Crimson song, which is most certainly not Stupid Music poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USXEi5dJPto E: Misspelled "Matte."

But IMO the cheapest high gain solution for playing live is just a craigslist sourced 6505+ with a random cab.

On Satriani, I got into him this year. Never understood his appeal before. His sense of melody and phrasing is insane. I started paying close attention to how he leads you through a song and builds tension throughout and honestly it’s something special. I’m writing a solo guitar EP right now and the Satch influence has been huge when it comes to keeping my leads vocal and meaningful. Vai owns bones and as mentioned gave Devin Townsend his break. Devin is my favorite dude. When your progression in the industry is being let in by Zappa and giving Townsend a platform you’ve done good for the world. Shawn Lane is the best virtuoso of all time tho tbh

Devin Townsend is about as awesome as musicians come. I think one of my favorite old school shreddy virtuoso types is Marty Friedman. He has never ever done a cheap Malmsteen-type sweeping scale solo, and even when playing bleedingly fast metal solos it's always done with "feel" and lots of music theory. He's one of the few virtuoso-guys who I'd say hasn't just managed technique, but mastered guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMkb4pxOc30
