    WTB Rg7421 MIJ

    H'lo folks, Back after a very long hiatus from playing and I'm looking into 7strings. A lot of people vouch for the RG7421 MIJ ones... Anyone have one they'd like to sell? Open to modified ones. Preferably in a natural finish. Gear/Guitar Wanted: Ibanez rg7421 Additional Accessories...

    Hallmarks of a good bass tone? (Plus a question about Exivious bass tone)

    Hey, folks. So my buddy, who is a bassist, has offered his Ibanez SR506 a new home-- my house! He has a 5-string J-bass that he prefers to practice on (I don't mind!). So I was wondering what you all would believe to be 'hallmarks' of a good bass tone. Yeah, yeah, I know, tone is...

    Proper mic placement& & recording techniques for condenser mics

    Hi there, folks! I have a condenser mic, A MXL V67G (a pretty bad-ass budget mic, if I do say so), and I want to record with it. My recording set up is this MXL V67G -> Focusrite Saffire 2i2, but here's my question. If I'm recording a loud-as-hell amplifier, what are things that I...

    High-gain heads and pedals: The philosophy of dirt.

    So, I've had the recent pleasure of acquiring my first high-gain head. It has heaps upon heaps upon heaps of gain on tap and even a built in boost designed to fit the purpose of a TS-ish pedal. The distortion can range from throaty sweetness to downright gain massacre-- the tones are great...

    Laney Ironheart cabinet consensus

    My friends, it has been too long. Far too long, but I hope to soon emerge from the depths of this holiday season with a glorious NAD, but I have a question. I'm shooting for a Laney IRT 60 2x12 combo, and all indicators are :yesway: , but I have a question about the 'HH Custom...

    '87 Laney AOR-- Hot rodded for 500$-- do I pull this trigger?

    So, I've been in contact with a few folks. One is the folks over at Hovercraftamps.com -- I was really interested in their Falcon 50 watter-- the video they posted on their site had my seat wet. F'real. But then I see this ad pop up on Craigslist-- dudeguy is selling his '87 Laney AOR Pro...

    Pedals + Stompbox clones?

    Hey, guys. In order to save myself that extra bit of cash, as well as have an adventure, I have a few questions to ask about the prospect of cloning pedals. I'm looking at going after the sound of the following commercial stompboxes: 1.) Black Arts Pharoah 2.) Blackout Effectors 3.)...

    'Egyptian-themed', copper colored guitar pedal? What is it? (Pallbearer Content)

    Saw Pallbearer a week ago in Philly, and each one of their guitarists used this pedal in their chain-- even the bassist. I remember it being: Copper colored Had more than 4-5 black knobs Wider than it was deep (inb4 your mom jokes) The was a certain stylistic element to it, where it looked as...

    Debating swapping my SD Jazz pup for... well, I dunno!

    I have a PRS Mikael Akerfeldt SE that is just the most versatile instrument I've laid hands on, but I'm not sure I'm happy with the Seymour Duncan Jazz pup in the neck. Compared to the JB pup in the bridge, it just doesn't have any attitude at all. Sure, it has nice, silky cleans, but I even...

    The First World Guitarist Problems thread!

    Today is a bittersweet day, my friends, and I wanted to share why: I recently got a UPS delivery notification that my POD HD 500 should be delivered today. So, naturally, what would anyone do with a new peace of gear? They'd go and fucking tweak the ever living shit out of it, figure it...

    What's the one piece of non-amp/guitar gear that you swear by?

    Whether it be a pick, a pedal, or anything else that you can think of-- what's one piece of equipment that is not an amp or guitar of yours that you swear by, and why? Extra points for bringing an answer outside the box. I'll kick us off: I fucking love my e-bow. Give me a volume pedal, some...

    Can anyone recommend an octave pedal?

    So, I've got a VOX tonelab ST, and one of the built-in effects is an octave pedal. I like to run it with various medium-gain distortions and fuzzies (lots of sludge here, folks). Chugging on it through various amp sims + real amps can generate some really nasty (in the good way) noise, but it...

    Enslaved/Pallbearer/Ancient VVisdom in Philly, PA Jan 30th-- Anyone else going?

    So I'm traveling up for the day to Philly to go see this concert-- and I'm going alone:mad: It'd be nice to get a drink with some fellow SS'ers-- so my question is simple. Anyone else going? Any interest in watching the show together? Drop me a PM :D

    Interface questions: Are there quality drawbacks to the Line 6 'budget' interfaces?

    I own a Line 6 GX-- I was on a budget at the time of purchase, but have since been introduced to a whole slew of programs, hardware, and software. My question is pretty simple: If someone is using a Saffire Pro and I'm using a Line 6 GX, will there be tonal differences? What should one look...

    Noob question about pre-amps and interface.

    Hey, SS.org: So, I have your run-of-the mill Line 6 GX, which I plug directly into, and then the USB goes to the computer, etc. I'm very new to the whole home-recording thing, but is there any stage in which a pre-amp becomes a necessity in this type of scenario? I get decent tones...

    Sludge Metal on a 6'er-- how?

    So, I've been getting a lot into stuff like Black Cobra, High on Fire, Acid King, Weedeater, Yob, etc, and I have no idea about how to approach emulating the tone without thinking of buying a baritone guitar with a longer scale (I have a PRS with a 24" scale) so I can put thicker strings on it...
