i hope someone diddles your neice

god i hate floyd roses so much its unreal, just wasted a $17 pack of strings trying to set the piece of shit up for heavier gauge strings. That little string retaining block not being permanently attached is the dumbest design ever.

>>127344826
Me too, hate those things. I bought a guitar with one earlier this year thinking maybe I’ll finally get over how much I hate them and because it was a good price but no still hate them and I don’t play that guitar.

How to get into amps and pedals? I feel there are so many things about to learn about this that's is almost impossible to really learn.

>>127344295

So true hehe

>>127344826
Far better than any other floating bridge/tremolo. The setup is more complicated but once it's done they're amazing

>>127344918
you just gotta follow the same path as everyone else
buy a ton of them and then realize it's wasn't worth it

>>127344826
>heavier gauge strings
there's your problem
Floyds are for lead players
not wigger metal players

Yvette has great feet but that tappy stuff is snore shit after a few albums.

>>127344944
Well, I have Amplitube 5 cracked. I think it is enough.

>>127345005
it probably is

>>127344918
Personally I went the helix route, I spend more time chasing tone than playing songs but you can do anything with it. Like $900 for a helix lt vs $3000 for a legit nice amp/cab. Then you're limited by that.

There's good and bad gear across every price range.

I cannot stop thinking about Firebirds. I go back and forth between reverse and non reverse. I want both. I want Firebirds.

I dug up my old Ibanez RG1451. I worked my first job to buy it back in high school in 2010 to replace my shitty bullet strat. I havent played since like 2014. Im 30 now so its kinda too late for me to get good and i was never good to begin with. Im gonna start playing again.

gonna put some warpig pickups in my ibanez gio

>>127345230
Size queen

>>127345301
Try being almost 35. I got a cheap Epiphone SG as a kid at like 13, dabbled in a little Sabbath stuff but my gear always sounded like shit and I just never really got hooked. Started playing again late 20s and both of my wrists are so fucked now (broke one once + arthritis) so I don't think I will ever be able to be "great"

>>127345301
it only takes 2-3 years to get advanced at an instrument. you may never be a stevie ray vaughan or tony rice but you could definitely be a david gilmour or slash

i dont use this stuff anymore after learning chromatic solfege
but IDing intervals is good stuff to know
so lets all post common musical idioms that can help ppl to learn intervals and make a list

ill start
>m2nd
jaws
>M2nd
happy birthday (2 u)
>m3rd
boomer/blues
the wizard by sabbath (the guitar part tho, not the harmonica)
oh canada. probably not too helpful if youre not A FUCKING LEAF and/or a hockey fan tho
>M3rd
three blind mice (but in reverse)
i just go "do mi". i dont remember what i had. prolly some other dumbass nursery rhyme
kumbaya? idfk its so common it hardly matters, but thats actually WHY it matters and needs one
>P4th
"amen" cadence in church
first chord change in blues progression
>o5th
sabbath
>P5th
twinkle twinkle (little star)
baa baa blacksheep
powerchord
if you dont just KNOW this one innately as a guitarist youre prolly deaf and just havent realized it yet
>m6th
i dont remember what i used for this one desu its just "do le" for me now
help me out, cuz thats the one that always trips everyone up
>M6th
first 2 notes in the NBC jingle/church bells
the cowboy riff (do sol la sol do sol la sol)
>m7th
beastie boys sabotage
star trek TOS (zoomoids dont even watch TNG tho so that aint helping)
>M7th
i was taught somewhere over the rainbow
but that ones kinda stupid since its not actually the first 2 notes. its the part between "some" and "over"
i never rly needed that one tho since its my favorite interval
its just "do ti" to me now

whaddyougot?

Watch this

>>127344301
thats modes buddy
the difference is the note that you treat as 'home', the one you resolve to, thats about it. i guess there are some modal chords you can use but thats about it

>>127345371
this is the best one i think. so funny when he goes over the top of the neck

My love for metal is as strong as ever, I just lack the discipline to sit down and practice. Back in those days it was easy to practice or read books because there was nothing to do. I was broke too so only had the family desktop to kill time, no mobile phone either.

Youre just lazy

>>127345413
Good thing the neck isn't a cutaway and has more material around the truss rod bore

my pickups are gonna be more expensive than my guitar

>>127345500
>still sounds like shit
hell yeah

>>127344301
youre not playing in For C tho

why tf do ppl teach this shit in such an asinine way?
ill tell you what phrygian is
in fact fuck it lets do all of them
>ionian
literally the major scale
>dorian
minor scale with a natty6
>phrygian
minor scale with b2
>lydian
major scale with a #4
>mixolydian
major scale with a b7
>aeolian
literally the minor scale
>locrian
fucking useless
no ones jamming over a half diminished tonal center

there
now you only need to know two scales and can just derive the shapes for yourself
i probably saved you 3 fucking hrs of some retard trying to you all 9000 ways there are to finger C major on a guitar
its like they WANT ppl to be confused

Yeah guy? I just wanna rock like Deener. Maybe go to a library. This is a punk rock thread.

>>127345500
A single used Seymour Duncan '59 Bridge pickup from ebay was worth more than the Res Paur clone I put it in. It didn't help anything.

>>127345568
it didn't sound any better? pickups are the biggest thing that affects sound in an electric guitar (other than the player obviously)

>>127345583
h-hot

>>127345579
It probably did but at the time I had a shitty 10w practice amp so I couldn't tell. It's in my Jet King now and it's stupid loud.

>>127345566
lol deaner just plays dumb
he knows his modes by now

theres only like 3 useful ones of the diatonic modes
mix and lyd are good major substitutes. mix is like some irish jig shit and lyd is the most gorgeous bitch there ever was
dorians good if you wanna cosplay as santana
phrygians prolly cool if youre a metalfag but i never use it
phrygian dominant is more useful if you want to bully arabs

>>127345606
well that makes sense. doesn't matter how nice of a guitar you connect to a practice amp it's still gonna sound like a practice amp.

all I want is a telecaster(dlx) with a jaguar control scheme

I prefer rhythm guitar over lead guitar. I have no sense of rhythm.

>>127345851
All black babies are born with rhythm it's no lie

>>127345528
The issue is that most will know this, they can even see scotty spell it out on a piano keyboard (visualization of the need for half steps or why some things become flatted or sharped) but they won't memorize the fretboard and use mode shapes, they're trying to memorize whole arbitrary patterns like F lydian even though that pattern can be used for 8 other keys/scales

>>127345851
Me too but I’ve got a great sense of rhythm and really enjoy playing in 5s and 7s.

that's cool and all but i just play by ear. people will say damn smoky what was that lick and i'll be like hell i don't know and i doubt i'll play it the same way tomorrow either

>>127345851
agreed

>>127345898
I can play to a drumbeat programmed into a daw, but when it comes to a metronome it's a nightmare

>>127346286
it's the same thing though, just a different sound. are the drums you're playing along to busy? like they're filling in all the notes in between the kicks and snares? have you tried with a busier click? maybe 8th or 16th notes

>>127346286
start at 40 bpm

how it feels to play a triple rectifier

if i have to read offset one more fucking thread im gonna lose my shit, who gives a god damn fuck about your stupid gay ass meme guitar, not me, and frankly I feel like I speak for all of us who play real guitars, fuck off.

based. *pats my dreadnought lovingly*

>>127346033

anyway jaguars don't get enough love

why does my electric guitar lose sustain in high notes on high strings so quickly through the amp, but sounds fine unplugged?

>>127346528
sure they do, they're a perfectly cromulent cat

>>127346540
raise your pickups

>>127346315
The only gif that hits hard.

A Jaguar kicker kicked a 70yrd field goal today in the non-counting preseason NFL game. It would have been an NFL record by 4yrds had it counted in regular season. He had 4 yrds to spare too over the crossbar. It's actually insane how far that kick was. So cheer up. Not all Jags aren't getting any love. He is.

>>127346636
heres the neat part, you can just ignore modes entirely, stick to scales.

it's ugly

How are you guys doing with the major scale? Got a handle on it yet?

Is there any way at all to make a minor chord sound good through fuzz, octave fuzz in particular, or any distortion in general?

>>127346762
3 notes is about all you want to do with distortion.

>>127346757
yup

>>127346771
I'm having a problem even with two, as long as they are minor third apart, fuzz just turns it into a howl of noise

>>127346848
Who cares

>>127346887
Yeah.

So ive been away from the guitar scene. This ever tune bridge crap seems like a meme right? I purposely chose a fixed bridge when i bought one 15 years ago because it seemed like a pain.

>>127346887
I care, chud

>>127345074
Reverse firebird is an ergonomic mess and a stupid guitar but it has moxie. Non-reverse is pussyfooting. If you want something comfortable get a strat.

>>127346958
b-b-b-but dont you WANT to keep pitch while bending????

>>127346958
I don't have one and probably never will, because more parts = more buzz, more interference, and more vibration loss.

>>127346728
pretty good book

>>127346848
separate them by an octave or two

>>127346980
I know they’re weird meme guitars but they look so cool. I go back and forth between the two on which one I like better. Non reverse ones are harder to come by for reasonable prices. A lot of the appeal I think is the neck through design, I don’t know if I’d want to bother with a set neck or like a bolt on Firebird shaped guitar.

>>127346958
best innovation for tuning in decades. imagine you get the perfect take in the studio, only to find out you were out of tune. problem solved.

imagine, you walk out on stage in a new city. it's much colder out here than you're used to and your tech says tuning is gonna be wack in this climate. not a problem any more. you'll just be in tune.

>>127346982
imagine, you don't learn how a piece of gear works and you go on /gg/ to be wrong about it, loud and proud...priceless

>>127346987
these are for wigger metal players. just get a keyboard. if i ever see anyone playing an evertune i'm shooting them with my assault rifle 15

>>127347082
how does that work if the temperature and humidity changed are affecting the neck? genuinely asking because i don't know anything about this bridge

evertune has a butt ugly logo and the bridge is also ugly so therefore it sucks

>>127347103
>temperature and humidity changed are affecting the neck?
this is very overblown. I live in Indiana we go from dry cold winter to hot humid florida type summer every year and I have guitars that have not needed a truss rod adjustment in 2 decades

>>127347124
they're not all created equal. some guitars have graphite stabilizers in the neck, most don't. thermal expansion can still be enough to make the string a few cents out of tune

>>127347103
you set the tension per string in the bridge. (x tension = string in tune) and if anything changes tension-wise like strings stretching, neck moving a bit, the mechanical parts maintain the same tension so the string is still in tune. there's a range that the internals can accommodate and if you set it up in the middle of the range, then you can bend notes but the bridge will stop the pitch from changing. if you set the thing right at the top of the range, you can bend up and it will act as normal, but stop the string from going flat from string stretch, or whatever

>>127347135
I do notice that in the winter my guitars will go sharp, but it's just a matter of retuning
of course I'm climate controlled I don't leave my shit in the garage or outside.

>>127347146
interesting thanks.
>>127347161
yeah i also live in the same climate region but i set my guitars pretty flat like .003" so i haven't change the truss rod once every year or so. they're acoustics thoughever

>>127347112
function over form chud. it looks no worse than picrel, just shiny and new. maybe that annoys the relic-buyers of the world i guess

all you have to do is stretch your strings a bunch and then it wont go out of tune anymore

>>127347135
jeffy boy has you covered anon

>>127347141
it's long cause there's stuff inside it. you don't bitch about floyds being so fuckoff-huge cause you can see the bits all bolted onto it

>>127347211
floyd roses are stupid too
all you need is a hardtail

>>127347192
yamaha started using them and they actually have a good reputation for QC unlike Peesel
you literally can't find a case of a Yamaha leaving the factory with flaws, but 3000 dollar keisel hand built... just google it

toploaders > stringthrus

Do you ever practice switching chords enough to where you get to a point where ANY chord transition gets easy after that?

>>127347192
those rods really do make a huge difference. those and dual action truss rods are like the single best inventions for stringed instruments

>>127347252
there is always some delay for me so i just strum dead notes inbetween switching chords

>>127347252
What is a 'switching chord'?

>>127347252
kind of but not really. you have to practice exactly what you want to do faster to get the best results.

>>127347231
why do people think there's a difference between them

Evertune looks far less dumb than a floyd but I don't want a guitar with either

>>127347252
Typical chord changes get easier to master after a while. But there are always weird bossa nova type chord changes that will kick your ass and make you feel like a newb again.

>>127347282
Switching between chords
I.E. G to D

>>127347288
this

>>127347288
a Floyd has a point though. Yes, they are pains in the ass, but you can do extreme musical shit with it. an evertune is just a wigger bridge for chord slammers with no finesse and the inability to bend notes into tune, it's not musical, it's just training wheels

>>127347288
man it really sucks that we're forced to buy them, huh

i like being able to push and pull my neck back and forth for vibrato

>>127347252
I’ve been playing for 20 years and have the most fun playing rhythm, yeah chord changes are basically second nature muscle memory at this point.

>>127347317
it has a point though. your time is better spent playing the instrument rather than tuning it, before practicing, between songs, between takes in recording. its a huge timesaver.

>>127347343
you should buy guitars that allow you to do that then

>>127347358
i do

>>127347343
I like having a vibrato that’s stable and that I can easily use without needing a vibrato arm in place. All the Mustang posting has got me thinking about them specifically because of the vibrato being able to be used with your hand.

sometimes i wonder what these threads would look like if we held on to the japanese culture and the discussions around ibanez and gibson were reversed

>>127347349
it takes 15 seconds to tune a guitar and I'd rather be able to bend a note and do vibrato because I actually play the thing. Evertunes are retarded, the only people who use them are chord spamming, down tuning losers that aren't guitar players at all. evertune is trash

just waiting for my boss to buy me a new guitar

>>127347387
also poorfags who think tuning stability is still an issue when you have a real guitar

my ibanez headstock just broke

>>127347374
it kinda can but it's not ideal. for that sort of thing, you'd probably be better off with one of the strat add-on bridge bits. i'll try to find an image

>>127347374
dont worry mustang trems are shite too

woah fart sounds

post the mid season power up

>>127347412
>>127347377

>>127346683
Started from the bottom now we're here

Do you guys switch up finger positions for chords depending on what you're playing next or is that a big no-no

>>127347082
But it alters your ability to bend and creates unnatural uniformity to your sound.

>>127347622
no way he's that stupid right?

>>127347622
KEK

>>127347141
The circles look like a pair of deez.

>>127347640
how? if you set it up, you can bend normally.
if unnatural uniformity means in tune you're still running into fretted notes being a few cents out of tune anyway, unless you also get the wacky squiggly frets.

>>127347601
was i supposed to see plankton there

>>127347631
Just play the chords. There's not a lot to think about. Even the chords that are awkward and a reach will be 2nd nature in a year. Getting to the root can buy you time musically to set your other fingers. Chords can be abbreviated also.

>>127347223
trvth

>>127347690
What's the root note in a D minor

>>127347453
no you can't
>>127347472
bullshit, if you set it up to bend it doesn't "evertune" at all. that's like saying a strat trem can't move the pitch of the strings because you blocked it.
if an evertune is set up the way it's intended to be used, you can't fucking bend and that's a fact

>>127347705
this dude's son is in prison for life for murdering a girl

>>127347672
The video was showing that you can only bend so far in one or both directions. I normally play with heavy vibrato notes and chords. It's hard to judge if it's a great tool or unnecessary to detrimental toward individuality of tone. When ali sells a knockoff, I might give one to a plank.

>>127347731
not his fault some people are just born monsters

>>127347715
D string if you're open chords. I do 5 on the A string a lot x57765. There are several other ways.

OK, here are my thoughts on the vibrato versus hardtail debate:
Hardtails force you to learn better technique, because you learn to vibrato with your fingers. They are also more stable.
However, the sound from a GOOD vibrato unit, like the JM or a USA Bigsby cannot be duplicated. Full chord glassy shimmer can't be done with the hand.
Furthermore, the Chet handle on a Bigsby > all other handles.

>>127347705
Tomo makes me want to pull my hair out more than Tyler. Tyler is so cringe it's refreshing.

>>127347771
tomo is good but he's a gay nerd. White players like Ace Frehley don't have to learn gay jazz and pretend to like duo sonics

>>127347754
Never played a bigsby but agree on the rest. Jazzmaster is great companion to a Tele.

>>127347642
>6 KEER BEKEKEN IN DE AFGELOPEN

>>127347722
if you're not willing to learn how the thing works then why would you be getting so upset being wrong about it

what if i just take the knobs off my guitar

>>127347834
i'm not wrong about it, if the evertune keeps everything in tune no matter what, you can't bend notes. you're wrong about this, and nobody is ever going to buy this shit
in 2040 there will be zero evertune guitars on the market
it's a gimmick, it's shit, it's not a thing that REAL guitar players want

>>127347839
you won't knock them accidentally. but if you strum wild you might take skin off a few knuckles

>>127347848
Real guitarists play instead of having a melty on discussion boards about things they've never used.

>>127347848
i dunno what to tell you buddy. it's designed so you can bend if you want to

>>127347860
yeah... and guess what: if you set it up so you can bend, it won't stay in tune forever
it essentially becomes a regular hard tail bridge
so what's the point?

it will still stop the string going flat from the string stretching, its the compromise you make if you want to use the piece of gear in that way. no one is forcing you to use the piece of gear

Just a heads up if any of you guys have thought about picking up any Truefire courses: use code 40watt for 40% off at checkout. I was thinking about buying one $50 course (would be my very first Truefire purchase) then saw this code, then saw a $99 bundle of all six of this guy’s courses so 40% off down to $60 for six courses that are 3-4 hours a piece. When you buy the courses you have them forever, with the monthly/annual pass you lose them once you stop paying your subscription. If there’s anything you’re wanting 40% is a decent chunk off of a course you’ll have permanently.

They're still better than most brands mainline

>MY GARDEN SHOVEL DOES NOT WORK AS A POWER DRILL WHAT IS THE POINT?
settle down anon you gotta use the right tool for the right job, just use a different guitar for bending ezpz

>>127344301
Those are modes. That's the whole thing that modes are.
In fact even major and minor are the exact same notes with a minor thirds separation (so for instance A minor and C major are the exact same notes).

>>127347888
oops forgot the image

>>127347722
There are a couple different modes you can set those things to. Kind of like a normal floating bridge that you can block, tighten down, or leave floating both ways.

You can tell >>127347868 was correct from the sheer amount of cope in both replies. Shan't be using a bridge that can't bend when set up to work as advertised.

it's like watching 2 retards in the special olympics wrestling finals

Buy in August and Keith will come to you for free for no extra cost.

>>127347881
I promise you 100 percent that if you set up your "evertune" bridge to allow you to bend and vibrato, it will not stop the string from going flat or stretching
so having an evertune bridge set to "bendable" negates the whole evertune thing, turning it into a 300 dollar hardtail
for a guy like me who bends strings and uses vibrato, it's a completely useless piece of hardware

for me its gretsch

>>127347904
Nah but I thought about Keith “welcome to Five Watt World” Williams when I was buying the courses bundle lmao. I’ve never paid for any lessons before. This guy (Eric Haugen) posts YouTube videos that I’ve enjoyed and that I’ve learned a lot from, so I trust that his courses will have things I can glean from.

>>127346762
Start at 2600 bpm and increase a little every other day.

boomer bends

real best floating bridge coming through make way

>>127347944
i see a guitar i like...i like it simple as

100 watt clean tube amp, green big muff. Boner time

the 18 dollar amazon mustang bridge? I'll take it over an evertune any day

Sparkles are gay.

all you have to do is stretch your strings and all your "tuning instability" issues go away.

>>127348049
qrd?

>>127348052
not if you have shit tuners that slip

>>127347731
That was a rabbit hole I didn’t know about

>>127348088
okay well then theres nothing you can do except get better tuners

how the fuck does the bridge and nut affect tuning stability that doesnt make any physical sense

>>127348090
yeah i was bummed out when I learned because I actually like Tomo and watch his youtube videos
his son was a HAPA football jock so it's not surprising he was a girl-killer

3 HOURS of GUITAR FACTS to FALL ASLEEP TO

>>127348118
I felt bad cuz while reading about his son killing this chick in the family garage I kept wanting to laugh cuz I was thinking of Tomo saying “ahmazing”

>>127348118
if it makes you feel better his other son is a normal guy

>>127348088
it's never the tuners slipping that makes a guitar go out of tune. it's always binding at the nut. 100 percent of the time

>>127348176
doubtful, tuner slippage can happen on guitars with no nuts

>>127348225
no it can't. I have two guitars from the 1960's with rusted out shit tuners and they stay in tune fine.
it's never a tuner slipping
a shitty tuner is shitty because the ratio sucks. it's harder to get in tune but once it's there, it's there
I wager my dick that your guitar tuner doesn't slip
because tuners don't slip, even shitty tuners don't slip
it's binding at the nut dude

>>127348176
all gears have backlash thoughever

>>127348244
holy shit he's moved on from the evertune to being wrong about tuners now

>>127348289
that looks fucking stupid, i'd rather play a squier with normal finish and pickguard

>>127348293
uhh... this guy is a homophobe and a Christian, read the room

My late 80's Custom 24 has the original wide-thin neck. It's such a joy to play.

>>127348306
>a joy to play.
live, love, laugh.

Spanish monks appear and force you to choose between an ES335 direct into a tube amp, no effects, OR an Ibanez RG550 into a Kemper. Which do you choose?

>>127348355
335 and tube amp because Ibanez is jap crap and digital effects are pussy repellant

>>127348355
ibanez so the headstock stays attached

maybe this one is more your speed

Reasons why Les Pauls are good:

>>127348410
reason 1: you can start calling /gg/ posters poor

>>127348410
reason 2: you can claim your tone is simply 'better' without substantiating the claim

>>127348410
reason 3: after the first headstock break, the wood glue is actually stronger than the wood. YMMV

>>127348410
reason 4: after you swap out the cheap chinese parts, boomers will pay above market rate for the 'authentic' gibson pickups, knobs, caps and pots

>>127348386
gay
>>127348402
double gay

Let's talk about Les Paul the man. Here's some observations I've made:
1. the dude is obviously Jewish, just look at him
2. he speeds his shit up in the studio, it's just fake shit that boomers and greatest generation thought was real

honestly fuck Les Paul, one of the biggest fags in the history of music, a Jewish TV star who sped up tapes and his guitar is just a shitty overpriced and desperate response from Gibson after the Telecaster took off

need it or keep it?

>>127348470
Yes.

lol

Curly maple sounds OK but it looks too wavy.

Cedar sounds wavy but looks straight grained.
It's weird.

Mahogany Sunday.

Jesus the new Schaller straplocks are so bad when compared to back in the day.
What happened?

my musician friend said no one lugs heavy full stack amps and cabs around in the professional setting and if he saw someone playing full stacks he'd see them as a poser or someone who just can't get the same sound with anything else and it just absolutely needs to be dialed in that way.

but yeah, quad cortex, kemper, line 6, axe-fx. basically anything that doesnt require you to break your back transporting heavy equipment to gigs.

>>127349201
Sorry forgot to add he offered me $10 if he could suck my dick and said he made a preset inspired by penises.

>>127349201
yea, definitely fuck full stacks, that shit is for retards. or i guess dudes trying to get their lift on before the gig? idk. its definitely totally pointless

half stack is somewhat common for metal, albeit mostly unnecessary for almost any bar gig ever.
anything past "shit tier bar that doesnt even have mics to mic the amps" level, youd just be using a combo amp (and frankly combo amp is gud enuff to play those bars anyways, as theyre plenty loud themselves. just put em up on a chair so you can hear yourself). with a full stack, miked up, youd never be gained up past like 3-4 cunt hairs on your amp, because youd just be btfoing the sound guy (whos only miking one of your cabs anyways). which would inevitably make you quieter, as hed have to drop you from the PA. this would also cuck you out of having yourself in the monitor too. which is terrible.

past the bar gig lvl, you got larger auditoriums and halls, and then festivals. in these cases you almost always have at least a passable sound guy, so its inadvisable for essentially the same reasons as listed above. and if you are on some shithouse festival where the fucking sound guy is like on molly or just a fucking retard, and you have no monitors, the full stack isnt gonna help you or your band to hear either. its nowhere near loud enough to actually fill some large hall. youll be stuck hearing the faint echo of your playing off the back wall. your bandmates wont here fucking anything. nvm an outdoor festival.
cant comment on stadiums as i never played one, but at that lvl you have your own sound guy touring with you, so you rly shouldnt bully him like that or hell quit/fuck you over

tl;dr
hes right
cant remember the last time i saw anyone using a full-stack live
half stack or combo is plenty
id recc combo

>>127349388
>tfw you aren't allowed to bring your big wooden boxes on stage

>>127349201
to add
there is the van halen solution. which is a creative solution, admittedly.
he only liked his amps sound with everything at 10. cant play a fucking bar like that on a full stack tho. so he grafted a variac onto his amp that could adjust the voltage going into the amp, allowing him to gain it all the way up, then reduce voltage so you can actually gig on a full stack

so thats the way you can do it, should you want

>>127349201
Carrying full stacks around is still very common in professional settings.
Your friend sounds like a retard who probably recently discovered amp modeling for himself and/or finally lost the "muh tubes" attitude and now has to signal the other extreme to compensate because some people need to be obnoxious faggots about gear regardless of the direction they choose.
That being said: fuck carrying full stacks around, I will never do that again. My Kemper is all I need and all I want.

>>127349396
is this a recording of a beatles rehersal?

>>127349441
im sure you could
but like i said you rly rly rly want monitors on anything past the shitty bar lvl
ive played shows like that, where the sound guy is having an acid freakout, or just absent. at that point you guys better just be so well-rehearsed that you can play your set without even hearing each other, or itll be a catastrophe

>>127349446
if your example is petrucci, realistically how many bands are touring with that volume of gear? maybe a couple dozen? even he doesn't have his stuff blasting at 10, he uses monitors to hear himself and the amp rig is just used to get the sound into the FOH setup. for the rest of the thousands of gigging artists, they don't have the luxury of storage and transport for 4x12's. its gotta be what, 1 in 1000 artists, outside of the locals carting gear in their own cars of course

>>127349446
>Carrying full stacks around is still very common in professional settings.
idkif ive seen it since i was a child and metalcore was relevant
what genre?

>>127345074
Firebirds are badass. Owned one since 08. When standing, the access to the upper frets is amazing. The last band I was in, the other guitar player commented on how awesome it played and sounded

>>127349388
band i do sound for regularly.
guitarist 1
>1x12 combo amp
>simple pedal board
>plays great
>lets me make him sound better

guitarist 2
>triple rec
>mb 4x12
>marshall 2x12 extension
>fucks around before every show desperately trying and failing to balance his amp channels and the 20 pedals he wants to use
>always drowns out the rest of the band with the stage level
>fucks up riffs and leads in most songs

like, you can play stadium gigs on a fucking combo
i guess i could see it if youre playing some large outdoor DIY shit that doesnt have mics for the instruments. but idk man even thats a stretch. a solid tube combo amp can be pretty fucking loud. just elevate it. put it up on something and itll carry

>>127349486
yea lol exactly
it just adds so much fucking variables you simply dont need to be dealing with

I once sold out an arena using nothing but a honeytone and a beatup Glarry

>>127349504
even the most run down, dogshit open mic venues in my town are at least offering a 57 for each guitarist, bass almost always runs DI out, along with their cab. kick and snare mic and some vocals. anything smaller than this, just stick to practicing imo

>>127349514
thats bullshit but i believe it since its so based
thats the standard we all should be setting

tonewood of the day: indian laurel

>>127349519
when i used to play DIY shit a lot as a kid it often happened that the PA could only handle vox, or there just werent mics for anything else
at that point a combo is basically mandatory, or the drums will just be swallowed up

gold bean, need it or keep it?

>>127349556
yeah for DIY or house party setups all bets are off, you just do the best you can with what you have

>>127349559
ibanez shitplanks are poplar jap crap

>>127349569
this was our solution
>combo on a chair
>or stacked on the bassamp
>bass amp behind the drummer
>singer goes into crowd to check lvls
>adjust accordingly
makes it effortless to sound good in that setting
except for the drummer, hes gotta play as loud as he fucking can for the whole show lol
dont do drums kids

How does the neck feel? Is it super thin? I’ve been curious about them but I like a fat 50s style Gibson neck and don’t like necks too thin, am afraid the Firebird neck would be too thin for me.
