Thanks for all the responses! I couldn’t remember initially what string gauge I added to my bass, but it’s .135 up from the factory .130. Lots of good information here. I think I’ll try going a little thicker just to see how it feels. I’d like to try .145. Hopefully it doesn’t require any other...
I’m using a Yamaha TRBX505 34” scale bass. I’m trying to drop the low B to A, but I feel like it’s too loose and doesn’t sound good or pick up well on my interface. I must admit I’m a guitar player first and foremost and I do all my own bass parts, so I’m not super knowledgeable about Basses. I...
I've been trying to regularly produce and put out music since lockdown. I've put out like a dozen songs since then. All instrumental tracks of varying sub-genres of metal. There's a little bit of thrash, progressive-ish, black, and death going on. Here's my latest song entitled "Infernal Altar"...
i do love my ibanez prestige, but the main thing is that i want a hardtail. I'm kicking myself because i forgot to mention that in my previous post as a requirement. if i could get the RGD3127 with a fixed bridge that would be the most ideal even though I don't love the pickups. i've heard a lot...
I'm in the market for a 7 string when was looking in the ~$1,500 range. I've narrowed it down to the Jackson and the Schecter. I was looking for a 26.5 scale with some decent pickups and these two met all the criteria. I know the Jackson is new and I haven't really been able to find any reviews...
i don't love the look, but it does have solid hardware. i'm not familiar with lungren pickups TBH. i've been interested in Fishman for a while. They seem to be very hot and i'd love to own a guitar with some Modern's. i'll definitely check this out.
i have no idea how this guitar didn't pick up on my radar. you are absolutely right that it has literally everything i'm looking for. i don't love the finish, personally, but it's not a deal breaker for me. i'm definitely going to heavily consider this. thanks for pointing this out to me!
that's a good idea. i'll definitely check around on the used market. that's a shame. I've never played one, but I really liked the look and specs of these new Dinky Moderns. I don't think these ship for a few months, so if i'm still in the market by then i'll probably wait for more reviews...
Hello, I'm looking to buy my first 7 string. I've only ever owned two guitars (both Ibanez. I've been playing a Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX for the last 4 years I think), so I wouldn't consider myself an expert on gear. I thought i'd come here and ask for some feedback on the guitars i'm...
I was kind of disappointed about the new releases from this year. I was really looking for a 7 string Prestige with Fishman's, reverse headstock, and fixed bridge. Maybe that was too much to ask for haha. I'm interested in purchasing a 7 and if i stick with Ibanez i might just got for the...
I've been in the market for a hardtail seven string in the ~$1,200 - $2,500 range. I know that's a pretty big margin that should afford me lots of options, but i've also been really interested in something that's Fishman equipped. I saw this today and it definitely caught my eye. I like the...
Thanks a lot for all the input. I did another remix here https://www.dropbox.com/s/74upgkjeyu3i4re/chainsaw_remix5.mp3?dl=0 I worked a lot more on the drums and bass. On the bass I tried the limiting technique to make sure the signal is consistent. I also tried out new drum samples and...
I'm still trying to have a better understanding of the benefits of a DI box. My initial understanding was that it was required to prevent clipping on budget interfaces like the first generation focurite scarlett 2i2. I bought the second generation scarlett 2i4 because I read that not only was...
thanks for the tips. the DI i posted was actually still being limited, so i uploaded it without any processing at all https://www.dropbox.com/home/chainsaw?preview=chainsaw_remix3-di-unprocessed.wav. I'd love to get your take on it because i'm definitely trying to get a good DI signal. the...
Thanks for the reply! the eq moves you made sounded good, but should it still have so much air? I guess this is more of a question of taste, but when it comes to tone i'm still not great at identifying what makes good tone. so basically i just don't know if i should be trying to eliminate that...
I've watched countless hours of videos and read everything I can get my hands on, but despite my efforts I can't seem to get a guitar tone that sounds half as good as anything i hear on youtube despite using the same plugins. I'm just really looking for some help here. My guitar is an Ibanez RG...
