This album is what I have been looking for since I rekindled my love for music and guitar playing about 6 months ago. Clean mid-ranged vocals (no power singing and no emo/metalcore high pitched singing). Melodic, yet heavy with a some djent and fusion peppered in. Technically complex without...
I have been really into jazz fusion type playing. Really digging guitarists like Aaron Marshall, Jakub Z., and Rick Graham, and the guys from Polyphia. I am having trouble finding good sources for learning this style. For example, I can find people playing solos by theses artists on youtube but...
I have been kinda busy, but I got my 70d a little over a week ago. I can confirm that the 70d definitely sounds noticeably better with the CL/LF pups. Much tighter sound and works well with the hd500x. This is a great guitar in the 800$ price range. It was set up nicely by the place I bought the...
I really didn't want to buy anything used unless I played it first. Which relegated me to buying a used guitar at Guitar Center. I found a few old 1527s for around 750$, but some have emgs in them and the others were not in good enough condition.
I returned my black jp70 and I have a jp70d in...
If anyone is interested in buying one of these, from what I understand, they are only making 60 of them. Which is pretty cool because my hand signed one will be one of only a few. So, I would call one of Sterling's elite dealers soon if you want one.
Good. Thanks man. I know many think Polyphia's sound is too "processed", but I really like it. That Jackson guitar he has sounds pretty good. They have a new video on youtube with both guys using the EBMMs, great song. I am really getting into Rick Graham too, great player.
I really like the tone, style, and phrasing of the their playing. Actually, I am trying somewhat to emulate the sound of bands like Polyphia, Intervals, or Disperse. I know all three bands use EBMM's and the axe fx 2. Back to my original post, how far off would my sound be with the SMM and the...
I am in pretty much the same boat regarding singers However, I can't listen to power singers. I grew up (as in teens) in the 90's. Listening to hardcore and then riding the wave of metalcore. After listening to metal core since its inception, I can't take the singing. All the bands sound the...
After watching Rock Disciple, I have really been trying to like DT's stuff. I like a fair amount of the music, but when the singer comes in with a vibrato power stuff I'm out. His more "wispy" singing is ok.I am actually liking a lot of their 90s stuff more. Actually, I am in the same boat where...
I think the POD sounds pretty good directly into a PA. Some may disagree though, as I know many do not like the cab sims. I have an Alto 12 PA speaker. You could probably buy 2 of them for under 600 bucks.
Still think this post should go back to the 7 string forum.
Anyway...when it comes in, I am going to have them ship it. I called Fedex and they said it would be about 25 bucks with insurance to ship it back. The store said that if I didn't like it, I would have a week to return it. So, I get I...
I was thinking about doing this instead, but...
1. I am not good with working on guitars.
2. The trans is 630, plus 150 for the pups. There is 780 right there, plus some stuff I would have to buy to work on the guitar. The place I am buying it from is not charging me tax either, so 830$. If...
You used to have the jp70, right? And you did change to the CL/LF's, right? I guess your the man to talk to. If you are saying they will sound WAY better, then that will definitely sway my decision. I loved everything about the 70
except the tone. How do the CL/LF's compare with EMG 707's? The...
I would like to know why my post was moved from the 7 string to the beginner section. Looking over some of the recent 7 string section posts, my post is on par or more detailed/specific than most of them. I am not one to start trouble on a forum, but I kindly would ask a moderator to take a...
I would post this on the jp70 owners thread, but it really doesnt get that much attention. I have the opportunity to get one of the limited edition white jp70s hand signed by JP. I spoke with Sterling and they said the guitar (not signed) would sell for 850$. The store I am buying it from will...
I have what is probably a few noob questions that I can't figure out. I have my 500X hooked up to an Alto12 PA speaker and I was told to go with a good xlr cable instead of a standard 1/4. I am wondering...
1. Is this true? Would one of the gold mogami xlr's really make that much if a...
