hey buttdoctor, how did you get one of those 4046s and how much was it?
Are there any actually good 1x12 combo amps out there? I was checking out the Peavey 6505+ combo, but it sounds like motherfucking shit, compared to just the head and a cabinet. Are there any other mid-tier combo metal amps, or should I just suck it up, and get a cabinet and a few heads? I don't have a lot of space. Maybe the Peavey 6505+ Minihead, or something from Orange?
messing around with nux time core delay's looper and found i could change between modes with the loop intact and effected by the new mode. pretty neat, creates a cool pad that you can build on/morph the rhythm and texture of. not bad for a 35$ delay. here i get a loop going and then cycle through the modes.
https://clyp.it/dhfiyhwj
>>60758138
>sounds like
what exactly didn't you like comparison wise?
>>60758138
Hard to explain, but it was a lot more muddier, less meaty and generaly, only the high-gain channel was any good. And it still sounded kinda castrated. Might be cause of the speaker? I'd like to have an amp that has good cleans, so I could plug in a few pedals for muh Iron Maiden kind of distortion, and that has a good death metal lead sound, when boosted in the high-gain channel. If I had enough space or money I'd just grab the 8100 Valvestate. It's not as great in the cleans department, but it has probably my favourite kinda death metal tone.
Does cracked Bias fx sound different than a bought one
>>60758265
were they both open back cab's? that can make a big difference, plus spkrs used. I like to get an amp that sounds good clean and stays clean, and then use pedals for dirt...that way I have more tonal options instead of just having the dirt from the amp or worse having an amp that won't do clean well so its dirt is always present when I use pedals. just seems to make more sense for getting more sounds.
>>60758138
The 1x12 combo's made in china, no wonder it sounds like ass.
The mini head is pointless, you can buy an used 6505 for the same price.
I think 1x12 is not enough for metal, I'd rather get a 2x12
>>60758265
The 8100's hella cheap where I live, I've even seen some 8200 for 250€.
>>60757530
By "fucking around" I meant trying combinations of different things like chords and notes in a scale to make a sound that sounds good to you.
>>60758601
I'm a university student, don't have enough time to hold down my job next to my guitar practice and studies. I also live with my parents and only have one room of space, so having a 100w amplifier is not a viable way to play. They usually sound like shit unless turned up to a normal studio volume.
The 8100 is cheap, but not sold around where I live, so the shipping adds up. I still think I'll own one when I finally move out.

I'm trying to sweep, but it just sounds like a choppy arpeggio. What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?
>>60760835
Looks really nice! I mostly play my tele and I love it. Money well spent.
>>60761631
Go slower and work on leaving no blank between each note. But don't let one bleed into another.
>>60761886
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0oNhtuVCW3K
Like this ?
>>60760835
happy birthday mate, your guitar looks awesome
>>60762160
Work with a metronome so your notes fall right on time, but that's the basic idea yeah.
Also don't be afraid to put some gain so that it highlights when a note bleeds into another or when you let your string ring open.
>>60762160
How long have you been practicing this?
Exaggerate the motion. Practice clean and focus on the quality of your playing. Speed up in small increments.
Give it a good while and you'll be able to play Altitudes.
>>60761631
Plug in to practice sweeps, it's important you hear everything properly so you can correct your muting if needed. Also you're plucking too hard to make up for not being amplified. Relax your wrist, sweep in a fluid motion. Start connecting your upstrokes back into your down strokes instead of just breaking off and starting again
>>60761745

I've been looking into a new guitar and kind of wanted a double cut Les Paul Junior. Anything to look for? I saw a few Japanese made ones recently and I'm not sure if it's the way to go.
I'm an adult, so I bought my own christmas present this year.
What do you guys think of the DigiTech Polara? I ordered one the other day, it arrived at my house today. Not going to play it until Christmas because I am a strong man.
but it kinda hurts to be honest
>>60762311
>>60762263
>>60762240
I've just started sweeping tonight, trying it out.
Thanks for the tips. About not breaking off, how else would I do it? I always assumed you'd pick down for all but thr final string and then up from the last string. I might try it plugged into an amp later. I will try to make it a rolling motion with my right hand
>>60760835
isn't 18 a bit early to become a blooz lawyer son?
>>60762766
I really like the reverse reverb on it. tempted to sell the boss rv6 I bought and get it instead.
>>60762940
thats not a guitar of the month gibson
>>60762969
it's still a original Fender
I don't know why I said "blooz lawyer" though, should have said "blooze lawyer"
>>60762766
you're a grown man, play that shit!
I actually asked this exact question yesterday, I'm very interested in this pedal.
also heavily considering just getting a cheap Behringer Reverb Machine...
>>60762969
>>60763045
That is reserved for $2-3k+ Gibsons. They are in another level of jewry.
>>60762940
thats not blooze lawyer
thats nashville cuntry used car dealer style
>>60763130
>>60763140
>implying you can't be a blooze lawyer with a standard les paul
>implying the price is that different between an deluxe fender and a gibson standard
I'm just taking the piss, but let's get real, over 1.2k it's blooze lawyer territory.
>>60763060
Behringer pedals are okay, you might get tone suck, but you're not going to find a VB-2 for the same price as their Ultra Vibrato. Same logic for their replicas of discontinued boss pedals, but in the case of the Reverb Machine, it's a way better idea to buy the actual Boss pedal.
>>60762957
I don't like how the RV-6 looks, and none of the reverb sounds are particularly novel, the demos I hear of the Polara make their "shimmer" mode a lot less tacky.
Personally? I prefer the RV-3 and RV-5, if you're dissatisfied with the RV-6, perhaps look into the 3 or 5. I doubt the Polara is very different from the RV-6.
>>60763572
Over 1.2k blooze lawyer? Nah, you are just poor, mate. Sorry.
>blooze lawyer
Is this just poorboi metalhead jealousy?
>>60763791
most musicians are poor let's not be dicks here
>>60763713
Yeah I'm a bit disappointed with it. I got it because my Dad took me into the guitar shop to buy me a pedal for my birthday and they didn't have much else to choose from.
The shimmer is laughable, can't use it with a straight face.
>>60763713
I had an Echo Machine and loved it.
I think the Behringer Digital Reverb is the Boss clone, not the Reverb Machine.
Does the Boss version have ducking, space, and cave settings? I'm obviously gonna research more before I buy anything >$60
I don't care about noise or hum because of the fuzzy style of music I play, the fact that I only use a few pedals, and my amp is so awesome it's hard to get a bad tone.
>>60763791
Likely.

>>60763771
>>60763791
I'm going to get a 1.9k guitar soon, that doesn't mean that going over 1.2k isn't blooze lawyer territory. There's no shame in being a blooze lawyer, stop trying to shrug it off.
>>60763771
Spending 1,2k on an amp is a much wiser choice.
>>60763884
>1.9k
>not blooze lawyer.
I own a $2.6k guitar, it cost me $1.2k shipped.
Enjoy that expensive fucker, it feels even better when you know you nailed a good deal.
>>60763904
Absolutely, I love my Boogie.
>>60763836
Frankly, I'd keep it, it might grow on you, and reverb pedals work with ANYTHING. Ever added shimmer reverb to drums? Shit's hilarious.
The Polara won't change very much if you're looking for a pedal similar but better than the RV-6, they're pretty comparable.
>>60763844
Go for it I guess, my only complaint is that Behringers look ugly as sign, but I'm a slave to aesthetics. The Boss reverbs are a little more sparse than the Behringer, how odd.
>>60763884
From personal experience, once you go over 700 bucks, everything is the same quality or worse. Unless you buy a completely customized guitar or can afford to customize it, even after spending 1k+, it is really not that worth it.
>>60763904
it depends
I'll build my own tube amp.
>>60763921
I never said 1.9k wasn't blooze lawyer, I was embracing that reality.
How did you get that deal? Did you buy it pre-owned even if mint?
>>60763921
>I own a $2.6k guitar, it cost me $1.2k
Then you own a 1.2k geetar famalam.
>>60763945
>From personal experience, once you go over 700 bucks, everything is the same quality or worse. Unless you buy a completely customized guitar or can afford to customize it, even after spending 1k+, it is really not that worth it.
The reason I'm getting it is because, just like you, I'm a slave to aesthetics. Will buy a high grade MIJ V or Explorer style guitar. It's a shame I'll probably have to get a hardtail due to limited Floyd availability.
>>60763961
Preowned but dead mint. I was very surprised at the pristine condition of the guitar.
I'll take good care of it, the previous owner seemed to really love it.
>>60763977
I was just messing with >>60763884
My mindset is that the price is irrelevant, it's all about the playability, sound, quality. It could be a $100 guitar for all that it matters.

>>60764415
go to your local cheap gear place and get a LOUD bass amp and any bass with stable tuning gears. Someone in the store should be able to point you to the cheap but loud bass amps. You won't be able to use a practice amp with a drummer.
don't forget to look on Craigslist.

Strong/strength what's the difference? It's stupid either way. If you're an adult why are you trying to recreate a child's sense of anticipation for Christmas? It's self-delusion. You already know what the gift is. Leave childish things behind, if you're the strong adult you say you are.
Also, your sexual degeneracy is astounding. Perhaps it's an anal fixation? Do you often have a desire for complete strangers to insert things rectally? Do you want me to describe the process so that you can get off on it? I won't participate, freak.

Anyone know of any bass guitars besides rickenbacker with pickups at the "36th fret"? As in at the G harmonic of the E string. A bit closer to the bridge than a jazz neck pickup. I think I might have to modify a bass if I can't find one like this. I'm also more interested in a cheap bass so I can fix it up/do a fret and nut job. Any ideas?
>>60765932
>>60760835
Im the one who suggested the Nashville tele. That looks awesome, congrats and happy birthday.
>>60765989
I think a bass with the two middle pickup positions would sound really good. Maybe with a dummy pickup in between for even more hum cancelling.

Working on a harsh noise project right now as well as a dada/experimental project with my brother. I'm also currently writing and composing progressive stoner noise metal and trying to form a band to play that.
I would love pedal recommendations.
>>60758138
>I was checking out the Peavey 6505+ combo, but it sounds like motherfucking shit, compared to just the head and a cabinet
The 1x12 combo was made in China, so quality is questionable. Realistically though, the speaker is the only major difference. The bias is higher on the combos (stock) as well, but that tends to improve sound.
What you heard could almost certainly be attributed to the videos you watched.
>Maybe the Peavey 6505+ Minihead, or something from Orange?
Mini heads cost the same as actual 6505s. Also why ORANGE? Haven't you been saying you want to play metal?
>>60758265
>I want good cleans and high gain for $200
You're probably going to have to pick one. Even in the real of more expensive amplifiers high gain and good cleans tend to be mutually exclusive
>>60758601
>>60758772
>The 8100 is cheap, but not sold around where I live
8100s aren't sold anywhere. They're discontinued. You'd have to find a working used example. Thankfully nowadays, most of the dead or dying 8100s have been weeded out, so buying them is relatively easy. Just be patient.
I got mine for $200 AUD, which is about $145 USD. Just be aware to sound good for metal they've gotta be loud, or boosted.

It doesn't really matter what your gear is valued at. If it plays well, sounds good, and you like it who cares? I've got my vintage strat sitting next to a Les Paul Custom, three heads, and my rack.
It took a long time to be at that point though. I forget how many years I played an Explorer copy with a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter into the line in on my PC.
>>60764026

>>60765366
>>60765839
Non-EQ Mesas always seemed off to me. Unless the tone stack in that is wildly different to a Mark?
I want to get a pair of Mark IIIs in here next year. A blue and red stripe.
>>60767209
Just in addition to this, if you did go the 8100 route, you'll need a speaker cabinet as well. That'll almost certainly blow your budget. You COULD get something cheap and nasty, but you'd almost certainly have to upgrade later.
Good news is 8100s sound good with G12T-75s and V30s, so you can pick up cheaper Marshall 1960A and B cabinets instead of AV and BV if you're starved for cash.
Am I the only one who thinks JCM 800s sound better without a Boss Turbo Distortion in front of them?
>>60767301
I don't buy distortion pedals or marshalls, I don't want to pay top dollar to sound like shit when I'm perfectly capable of doing it cheaply
>>60767301
Why would you put a Turbo Distortion in front of it? The classic tone is with a TS-808 or TS-9.
>>60767364
That's what Glenn Fricker thought. Good to know that a much better pedal is normally used. TS-808s are fantastic.

People like them because they're cheap, work with ANY genre of music and sound like a bass guitar is supposed to sound. If you can only get ONE bass that can do anything, it's a P clone.
As for an amp, look at an old Peavey combo like the TKO or TNT. Both sound great, are durable as hell and inexpensive.
Just retubed my ac30. My standby switch isn't lighting up when I switch it on. Only when I switch on the power does both lights come on. Even if standby is in the off position.
can someone post some acoustic albums that go really hard, thats my guitar fetish
Guys, I'm leaving uni in a around half a year and am going into session bass playing. Mostly jazz, but whatever pays. Ill be doing gags, weddings, cruise ship seasons ETC. I'm looking for a five string bass with a short scale. I basically want it so be as small and light as it can be. I'm torn between getting a kiesel short scale bass or waiting a few months and getting a strandberg bass. Both of these would be headless, that's a big plus for me.
Are there any production basses that might work for what I want though?
Do I need a new bridge?
>>60767789
i wish i had a reaction image folder on my laptop, because this post gave me hemorrhoids
>>60767754
Disregard. I'm an idiot. It's been too long since I played this thing.
>>60767789
what the fuck man
>>60767789
Looks fine to me
>>60766000
where and when did you suggest it? I literally searched through the archives to see if it was true and came up with nothing
>>60767789
Nah, you can just buy a new whammy bar from guitar center for 5quid, should be the same style a cheap strat takes. Cheaper than the whole bridge and you won't need to intonate
>>60767908
>licensed
Probably works just as well as when it was new
Yea my guitar has been through some shit since my band started playing more shows this past year.
It sounds okay, I'm just wondering if it's a bad thing to have rust like that
>>60766591
me neither tbqh stepfam
not a fan of musicman style basses either, I think they're really ugly. Besides, some look like toilet seats.
>>60767789
Probably needs to be scrubbed with an old toothbrush and maybe put a dot of oil on each of the saddle threads.
But if you do need a new bridge, you can rest assured that the standard Strat trem bridge is about the most common one in the universe, and parts are literally everywhere.
>>60767986
Too bad that said "just as well as when it was new" is actually not very well at all.
>>60767789
>>60767908
>>60768038
Lmaooooo what kind of bridge is that? A Floyd rose?
>>60768038
>>60766839
>Carvin San Dimas
you mean Charvel?
>>60768088
Yessir, just like those sports jerseys you can get on eBay for $5 and sell at a traffic stop for $40
>>60768111
Woooops yeah :)
>>60766092
>>60767209
The three band eq and presence are pretty responsive. Granted you can't carve tones like with a graphic. 4 alnico 10s, good tremolo, good reverb, 3 channels. There's a lot to appreciate there.
>>60767789
Just give it some good old WD40 like I did with mine!
What are some reasonably affordable fuzz boxes that can give me a time like the civil war muff?
Does anyone else own this Egnater Tweaker 40? I just bought and I wanna know if there's any problems I might have with it
>>60768770
Danelectro French Toast, usually $15-25 but it depends on your option of "cheap"
>>60766839
What's that Duo Sonic like? I've been interested in the Gold/Tan one and I have good experience with Squier VMs
>>60767789
>>60767908
>>60768596
Heh this bridge, here's the instructions I have to >>60768596
1. Take everything apart
2. Soak overnight in WD40 or methylated spirits (Denatured alcohol for you US guys).
3. Use a hard bristle brush to get the major rust off.
4. Soak in WD40 overnight again.
The more soaking and scrubbing the better, and when I say take everything apart, I mean, EVERYTHING.
>>60766092
>>60768793
I have the earlier Affinity and it's alright. A good friend had the CV Squier and it was great. An amazing guitar actually.
>>60767354
>Angus Young
>sounding like shit
Boss pedals are shit though
>>60768793
>French Toast
you're an idiot, thats an octave fuzz based on the foxx tone machine...not even a big muff lel
>>60766092
>>60768198
I love those. I'd love a Jackson San Dimas Adrian Smith sig though. Not because it's his sig (despite I'm a fan of Maiden) but because I really dig the classic body style and Floyd Rose bridges
>>60768920
shitty comparison desu, the warwick isn't really equivalent to the jazz in terms of pickup location due to scale length
>>60766092
This bass has a pickup in the rick position.
>>60769287
The images actually compensate for scale by lining up the nut and same fret. So pickup position should be relative to scale length.
I have a fender american strat, I got the trem lowered so it's almost flush with the body, although it's still slightly floating, I've been exprimenting with shoegaze on it and honestly, it seems to do the job with the vibrado, is there any point in upgrading to a Jaguar?
>>60769360
what about the bridge?
>>60768793
I have the Rebel-20. The output transformer fried on me after about a month (although I bought it used). Still, anything coming from Egnater's Chinese factories is probably worth having a professional look at before gigging. I had a new transformer from Mercury Magnetics installed and now the amp performs fantastically. Everyone compliments the tone.
>>60769413
Using the neck is enough, you can't move the bridge without screwing the intonation of the neck. Only one bridge position will do for any given neck
>>60768944
Yea I'll jump on that Duo Sonic, I can get one for like $150-200 used still
>>60769531
How much did that end up costing you? I heard the bad things with these are the transformers so I'm trying to find a good tech and transformers before I do any gigging after winter
>>60769025
My bad you said affordable and the cheapest thing came to mind, some good muff clones are probably Daredevil, pedals. The guy who builds them studied the circuitry of the muffs. The pedals run around $75-135 new and used
>>60769732
yet the Warwick is lower than the others... I suspect there's a problem with camera angle
>>60769843
>studied the circuitry
lel you mean he looked at a schematic lol
Roundwound vs. Flatwound
So I have a new Tele that came with roundwound 9's. They're about ready to be replaced and I was thinking of changing them to flatwound, because flats tend to be less tinny and brassy and bright. Is this a fact or am I mixed up? Also, the Tele is setup perfectly for the 9s it came with, should I also get flatwound 9s, like will that be an even translation in terms of action/feel? Or should I just man-up and get 11s or 12s just because?
>>60769846
I don't see what you're seeing... Are you looking at the saddle position? This is the relevant piece of the bridge.
>>60769901
do roundwound make the squeal sound when you move your hands around
>>60769981
not as such, no. not much string sliding. that's kinda the idea. also they just sound more mellow and they last longer because they don't collect grub, and you can actually clean them
>>60769901
As far as I know flatwounds are usually mellower because they are usually chromes, not because they are flatwound
>>60769903
checked again, the only one that's higher is the MM
>>60770033
I thought it was because they have fewer vibrational modes and thus have weaker harmonic content
>>60770138
don't forget pickups operate on electromagnetic principles
>>60770373
pickups translate the vibrational modes of the string more than acoustic guitars do anon. less impedance betwixt the string and coils than the string and soundboard
>>60770446
you're forgetting chrome isn't a ferrous metal, so it decreases the impact of its vibrations on the pickup's field
>>60770514
they aren't all chrome friendo, but yes that makes sense... didn't realize that's what you were getting at
>>60766092
This is getting so frustrating, I cannot find a single bass guitar sold by anyone with the same pickup position as a rick. I've been looking for hours. I guess I'll have to put one in a bass myself. I'll probably put it in my epi EB-3 unless I can find a good deal on a different maple/mahogany body bass. I'm not crazy about the epi's neck and frets. If only SX had some denser ash bodies for sale. I think all they have are swamp ash which is really light and hard.
>>60758056
>turns on amp
>explodes
Again, I couldn't be payed to stand in front of that stack
>>60770779
Don't you want power chords to be real?
>>60770574
Maybe...
>>60770911
>>60770895
How Can Power Chords Be Real If Our Fingers Aren't Real?
>>60770564
if they were all chrome the pickups wouldn't pick up anything at all lol
>>60770574
denser doesn't necessarily mean better anon, just saying
denser wood just means it wasn't allowed to dry
>>60771025
i meant not all of them are made with chrome. obviously none of them are 100% chrome you sillygoat
>>60771079
aren't all of them chrome steels?
>>60771025
"magnetic" doesn't mean "ferrous."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium#Physical
>Chromium is remarkable for its magnetic properties: it is the only elemental solid which shows antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature (and below).
Copper, for example, is the metal wound around your pickup magnets. If copper were non-magnetic, a vibrating string oscillating in that magnetic field wouldn't induce a current in the copper wire at all.
>>60770961
we won't need fingers where we're going
what's a reasonable price to put up these heads for. I always have the urge to buy new gear, I can never stick with something. A Model T would be cool though
>>60771042
No of course not, I want denser for specific tonal reasons, I do think alder and swamp ash are superior in general to maple and mahogany.
>>60769324
Help! Do you guys think this pickup matches the rick position? This is cheap on CL right now.
best $100 reverb?
>>60771195
jesus fuck that looks like a ballsack
don't buy that if you have an ounce of self respect
>>60771119
>Copper, for example, is the metal wound around your pickup magnets. If copper were non-magnetic, a vibrating string oscillating in that magnetic field wouldn't induce a current in the copper wire at all.
Actually it's because it's a conductor in a magnetic field, not because it's magnetic itself. It's Faraday's induction law in action.
>Chromium is remarkable for its magnetic properties: it is the only elemental solid which shows antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature (and below).
Antiferromagnetism means the magnetic moments cancel each other, this isn't good if you want to achieve maximum alteration of the nearby magnetic fields. It's remarkable because it allows you to produce certain specialty materials when you couple it to ferromagnetic stuff. HDD drive heads are an example of this.
>>60771195
just fyi pickup position isn't the only important thing to get the ric sound
>>60771252
Oh and BTW nickel is ferromagnetic. It makes sense they use it so much in guitar strings.
>>60771217
It's got great features though. Piezo bridge pickup is a big plus. Function over form for me.
>>60769843
Ummm, It wasn't a cheap repair. I think it was around $300. That being said, for the kind of music I do the expense was worth it. The stock tubes sound great and I haven't had to replace them in the two years I've had the amp. Egnater makes really versatile amps and I can't say that you'll necessarily have the same issue I did.
>>60771270
Yeah, I know but it seems the hardest one to find. Figured it'd make a decent starting point to fiddle with.
>>60771321
how cheap is that ugly thing on CL? do you have a bass currently?
>>60771308
Piezos are fun.
That bass looks too aye lmao ish though.
>>60769102
i actually like that.
>>60771372
>Piezos are fun.
mostly unrelated but i fucking love using piezos to record shit
https://clyp.it/mdoc4wqw
this amp for $170 because it squeaks at high volumes. is this still a deal if i have to get it fixed?
>>60771345
Yeah, I have an epi eb3. Decent tone, only the neck pickup is any good though. I don't regret the bass but I got it used and figure I can sell it for the same price I got it. I just feel like chasing rick tone for a while.
The bass is 225, I believe I can get it under 200 with haggling.
>>60771432
That was a fun clip thanks for sharing.
>>60771701
oh, it's a set neck. I thought you could get a body with special routing from warmoth but in that case forget my idea.
>>60767826
top kek my ac30 bro
>>60771432
sounds like someone fapping while laying on his bed
Anyone have one of these all in 1 pedalboard gig bags?
I've always hated the look of them on stage but I never realized they were so cheap. It's kind of exactly what I need.
Should I get one even though they kill the aesthetic of a beautiful organized board?
Ignore the 1 spot daisy chain lol
>>60771737
thanks for listening bruv
>>60771774
well you're a kinky little shit aren'tcha >':]
Really want an 8 string, I like the look of this ibanez but don't note if it is worth 800-1k being made in Indonesia
>>60771814
>well you're a kinky little shit aren'tcha >':]
sorry m8 but it sounds like what it sounds like
why the wood flexing noises?
>>60771841
>Really want an 8 string
faggot, get a bass
>>60771869
I have faggot
>>60771914
get an actual guitar then
>>60771846
because it was a recording of a tree. it happens trees are mostly made of wood.
>>60771950
nice one, smartass
were you flexing the branches or what

>>60771975
Don't want it for djent... Actually hate the genre
>>60771968
I like your tone and riff. Also saved that pic, kek.
>>60771975
thanks for the support anon, I agree with your addendum too.
>>60771967
no, it was creaking in the wind. none of it was audible in the air, the contact mics were just picking up the wood fibres stretching and twisting inside the tree, along with some branches clacking around up at the top.
>>60771989
>picture looks to be at least 10 years old
>confirmed
>>60771841
Indonesian guitars are tripe mate
Look into a used Schecter Hellraiser/Blackjack if you want a decent 8 string
Used Ibanez Prestige are probably the best 8's you'll get.
>>60771841
beatiful
>>60771869
what if somebody wants to play in both ranges at once
>>60771545
Yes. The amp repair shop in my city is like 50 bucks bench fee plus parts, which is almost always less then 10.
So 230 tops versus a gagillion new, I'd go for it. Unless it's totally fried, try it yourself.

when your dad brought you to work that day, didn't he tell you no pictures in the lab?
>>60772091
Lawl, nice one. My dad can barely operate a computer. You should post pics of your job/gear rather than shitposting mine
>>60772005
Then what do you want an 8 for?
You can't play power chord riffs on strings tuned that low, only single-note riffs sound good with distortion, and if you're doing touch-style, you're better off with a Warr guitar, or something similar that's actually built for low-action playing.
The only thing 8's are good for besides djenting is replacing a bass. They're a pain in the ass to play slap on too.
Rick positions on Pbass body
>>60772055
>what if somebody wants to play in both ranges at once
that's easy, just call him a faggot for messing with other people's ranges
if you want to do that just get a piano ffs, it even has the correct scale length for each note so they don't sound like shit like treble notes do on bass guitars and bass notes sound in guitars
