I got the itch that we all get eventually, and have been craving something traditional. I really wanted an SG, but i hate Epiphone necks, so I went with my #2 traditional taste and picked up this Squier Classic Vibe '50's in Fiesta Red. It is doing fairly well to scratch the itch, and damn does...
I've been lurking sevenstring forums for a super long time. Recently, I've upgraded my Stagemaster-7 and wanted to share. Additions: Graphtec Tusq XL black nut and string trees, EMG 707-TW for both bridge and neck. All Schaller Ruthenium color additions: locking tuners, knobs, strap-locks, and...
So I thought I'd try something new in my videos. Instead of seeing how low could tune, I tried to see how HIGH I could tune up! I got a set of Ernie Ball 8s and put them on my Tele and then tuned it up to Drop F2. Then I played over this with my Stagemaster 7 Baritone in Drop F1, and then...
I've got a new video up that might be helpful to if you wanting to go low and you don't know how low you want to tune. I took a riff and then played it through from B all the way down to D1. So hopefully this gives you a rough idea on how low you'd like to go. I used my PRS Mike Mushok from B...
I got a new video up. What was the first low tuning you used? This was the first low tuning I tried on my standard scale that really got me thinking about lower tunings. We used this in the Nu Metal band I was in in the 2000's. It was our way of going low, and I still use this tuning to this...
So I've looked thru some threads and found mostly "guitar players looking for a first bass", so this is to get some input for a first time anything player. Context is that my youngest sister just told me she is interested in learning to play bass, and i got really excited cause its the first...
[NEW VIDEO] Don’t know about many of you, but Nu Metal was definitely my big introduction to lower tunings. So I had to do a video about it. And the video is all Baritones. Ibanez MMM1 and Ibanez RGIB6 in Drop B. And then my Jazzmaster Baritone I chucked some super heavy strings on and tuned...
Downtuned Version of Incubus - Circles. The Original is in Drop D, but we recorded it in Drop A. I'm using my 7-string Stagemaster with a 28-inch Baritone Neck. Then Alex from the Youtube channel the 'the Balance Engineer' has his PRS SE 277, and John from Above a Whisper is covering the low-end...
I've put up a new video review on Neural DSP's new Fortin Cali amp. Its a pretty awesome amp. Its got 3 channels, and it can go quite heavy! Typical of Fortin amps. I used my Stagemaster 7 Bari tuned down Drop F and tested out the plugin with low tunings. There's a 14-day trial so test it out as...
My new video is up on How to Sound Like Northlane. Had a lot of fun putting this one together. Hope you enjoy it. I used my Squire Stagemaster 7 with the 28-inch Baritone neck conversion, and tuned down to their Drop F style tuning. Also there's is a pitch shift down to C#1. Listen out for it!
New Video Up....Here's a cool extended range tuning to try. It's an Alternate Drop G tuning. Wage War and Architects also use this tuning on some of their songs, and it's really fun to play around with. I’ve done the tuning on my standard scale Telecaster with some thick strings but you can test...
I've got a new video up where I use a 5ths tuning on my Standard Scale Telecaster Deluxe. But I use a really low tuning. I start at a low F1, and use 5ths intervals between each strings (except for the 1st and 2nd strings which uses 4ths). Its a real fun tuning to use where you can get some...
I got a new video up. I wanted to see how LOW I could really go on my one Baritone. I found that Newtone strings had a set of Axiom Bass VIs strings, which are all wound 24-100. I put them on my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone and tuned it all the way down to Drop B0! Was fun to mess around with, was...
I've uploaded a new video with my top 5 heavy riffs for 2019. I used mainly Baritone guitars as the riffs are from Drop F# down to Drop C#1. Used my Ibanez MMM1 in Drop F#, my Squier Stagemaster 7 with a 28-inch baritone neck in Drop F, and even Double Drop D (used the Drop for this), and also...
New used guitar day! So I finally got rid of my 2004 Korean B.C. Rich Mockingbird Platinum- (I never got on with it, it was a totally overpriced, meh and uncomfortable guitar that I got in my teens) - I wanted to right this wrong. I took the cash I got from the sale and found this little...
I had a bit of fun with my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone. I've been fiddling with the Architects-style alternate Drop F# tuning. And thought it would be fun to take this tuning down even further. So I have done the same type of tuning but down to low D on my Baritone 30-inch scale length. So the...
Hey SevenStringers, So I had a little fun and put together this video on how to get that Architects/Wage War tuning on your standard 25.5 inch scale 6 string. I was trying this thing out with some 12-52 strings and it just wasn't working. So finally I got some Ernie Ball Top Heavy 8 strings...
So I'm trying to intonate my newly acquired Stagemaster 7. I want it to be in Drop A. And on the low string its sharp when I play the 12th fret and compare it to the 12th harmonic. But I have moved the saddle back as far as it can go on the bridge. Any ideas on how can change the saddles so that...
Hi all, I recently managed to get from my parents house my first guitar. I had bought it used from my best friend and other guitarist in the band I used to play. We jokingly regard it as staying in the family lol. It is a Japanese made Squier with a more modern take that my friend bought new in...
Wanting something that's not an 8 string with dual humbuckers and a hardtail. Been in a rut, started listening to post hardcore/math rock/indie/pop/dreampop, jazzmaster would better fit those sounds. I'm torn between the Vintage Modified, J Mascis Sig, or shelling out the dough for a 60's...
