Old: >>64604461
so I just Kanye'd a copy of Rocksmith the other and tried plugging my practice amp's headphone out to a USB audio interface to play the game.
the problem is: the signal that comes out is way too hot for the game to register it properly so my question is this:
is it worth spending 30 bucks on the truetone cable to play the game?
>>64628217
there are mods that let you use a desktop microphone in place of the realtone cable
I just bought the realtone cable though. It works good and was worth it
>>64628217
Turn the gain down on the interface input then m8.
FUCK YOU FLOYD ROSE WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS ABOMINATION WHY DID YOU IGNITE AN ERA OF SHRED WANKSTAINS

>>64628614
They're fantastic once you get the hang of them. Takes me about an hour to change string gauge, tuning, setup, stretch and tune.
Just another skill to practice. Once they're setup and the strings stretched they're INCREDIBLY stable bridges.
>>64628616
Is been there for two years.
So uh, I have been working on jazz theory and stuff and what I have been getting out of this is..
Play with the 6 a lot, and use tons of tension??
What's the best trem that is easy to set up?
I have a bigsby on my Electromatic and it's the worst thing ever, and strat trem's are ehh.
To the guys who reommended me to "change my pick ups", please also watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOwfLWKfSuY
What "sounds good" is directly related to what you play. its directly related to the musical context and aesthetic you try to achieve.
It's all about the atmosphere.

please shut up
you've been at it for more than twelve hours
everyone knows you're a cunt now
>>64628217
Of course, but remember tone cables are useless if the static from the floor is too high. I can't tell the difference between a TrueTone (tm) cable and a regular one without my static-neutral ToneRug (tm).
>>64628805
I was literally nice towards everyone in here.
i'm just saying the truth.
>>64628818
Don't bait
>>64628315
well I have neither so between getting a desktop mic or getting the truetone cable I think I'll just go for the latter then
>>64628428
I tried, it seems the natural distortion from the amp combined with the amp simulators in the game made the guitar sound unrecognizable
>>64628648
i feel like there's a lot more to it than that
Is there any place I may get mini flying v rosewood body?
>>64629295
The question is why the fuck would you want one?
Im stuck
Im been playing acustic for 1-2 months and I have no idea what song I should learn. Only song i can play is lagrima
What songs sounds nice that even if you cant sing? Doesnt have to be classic.

crazyaga has been pretty infamous on /mu/ for years
now you know why
>>64630416
Block the trem if you want mate, I have an RG655 and without the locks in the nut and the trem locked it's pretty much as good as any other guitar. I want to throw locking tuners in mine just because I am retarded at changing strings.
The only extra hassle would be if you want to start changing gauges, setup is a bit more of a pain.
>>64630131
I haven't even bothered reading your entire post, since you are being mean for no good reason.
I was discussing music and guitars, which is the subject of this thread. you can report me if you want, but since i did not break any of the rules, the mods won't ban me.
If you want to filter me, feel free to do so, it's your choice. it actually might make the environment more pleasant for me to, since i did not come here to be sweared.
>>64630445
I was literally nice towards everyone in here.
>>64630500
You've been fine in this thread, but in the last one you were definitely being pretentious, defensive, and a bit of a dick, to be honest. I've kinda liked you since we talked on omegle once and listened to a Panopticon album together, but I gotta give it to you straight.
>>64630500
Dude, just stop being so goddamn annoying and defensive. You already said the same things in like 5 other posts.
Or just remove trip.
To the guy who was wondering about Japanese fenders, importing is a bitch. Shipping sucks and so do customs and conversion rates. There are some real nice and unique guitars though so it may be worth it to you.

>>64630589

Yeah, I'm just triggered because you are going to derail this thread, just drop the matter and be happy with your choices in life. All I have to say is that ignorance seems to be bliss.

I'm the guy asking about the Japanese fenders. Well turns out there's a local shop selling them for about 730 USD.. So that's good.

I avoided reading those 4 comments, i was hiding them trying to not read them.
It's because i assume they are probably just some anons in 4chan being mean towards me for no reason.
I wish you guys were more friendly towards me and towards each other... it would have been better for everyone
>>64630669
You've struck gold then.
Hows the variety?

The first post there is mine, and I was trying to give you some tough love. Read it.
>I wish you guys were more friendly towards me and towards each other... it would have been better for everyone
I agree with you here, and I agree with you that liking the tone of whatever pickup is subjective, but why are you so against trying another pickup? Why are you so convinced that the pickups your guitar has are the pickups you'd like the best when you haven't even tried any others?
why am i even here
>>64630771
>I need my safe space
>>64630785
It's got all the 50s,60s and the 70s reissues. The 70s is cheapest though, at around 730 USD.

guitars guys
>>64630958
Oh okay.
It's still almost $1000 CAD.
In fact, everything is just about what you'd expect to pay here after taxes.
>>64631066
Do you think it's a good price?
I looked up Rakuten, and factoring shipping and GST, it should roughly be the same.
Good thing import tax is only 7% here.
>>64630924
Thanks for trying to help me anon and thanks for being nice.
I did not say i'm completely closed to trying different pick ups, but i will say i do not like the idea of messing with the electronic parts of my guitar, especially the soldering part since i literally never soldered electronics components.
I think maybe if i will encounter for some reason another Ibanez RG with different pick ups, i will listen to it and see how it differs from mine. but as of now, i'm okay with my current pick ups, especially after seeing in video comparisons that the differences between those pick ups and the Dimarzio pick ups are so subtle that after video compression they are extremely hard to distinguish from one another... when i invest in audio equipment i want to have a significant audible difference, you know.
>>64631118
It's not bad. Its difficult to find MIJs marked down anywhere unless you visit Japan or something.
I don't think you'll find any better, but still take your time before making the decision.
>>64631191
These are things you need to try out in person honestly. You can't really gauge the responsiveness or hotness of pickups from a video.
YouTube videos are hardly helpful.
>>64631269
What pickup "hotness" means?
What app helps me get into guitar? I tried yousician, but you have to pay to learn properly
>>64631191
iirc somebody said the comparison you posted was between other Ibanez in house pickups, not to mention a lot of youtube demos will use some awful microphone. I've never soldered either, but it seems pretty simple, and seems like a worthwhile thing to learn especially as a guitar player. I've NEVER heard anything but bad things about Ibanez pickups though, so that's why everyone is trying to convince you to switch em out.
Also I believe the electronics in most guitars are pretty simple so if you mess it up somehow, you can figure it out pretty easily with google.
>>64631034
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0rBP643beHD
>>64631368
This comparison is between DiMarzio "the crunch lab" and a v8:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkcULu1_Tmw
If you don't look at the graphs that tell you there is a difference, they are very hard to distinguish from one another.
also, I heard some people say the V8 and V7 are not nearly as bad as some people say they are, but that doesn't really matter, even if everyone else thought they are bad, i really like the sound of the clean v7 myself for the type of music i make. how good a pick-up is, is directly related to what music you play using it.
>>64628781
Kahler. Seriously.
Doesn't matter how many pedals I buy. The pain never stops, the void is always there, and I'll never be happy again.
>>64631481
There's a difference in the clean sounds, it's not very obvious but it's clear enough to be heard.
Distortion on the other hand...
>>64631481
The dirty tones in this comparison sound pretty similar, but the clean demos definitely sound better on the crunch lab. Go with whatever you like though. That's what life is all about
>>64628147
what's a good and not too expensive alternative to floyd rose?

Just go with Axe FX2 and you'll have every damn tone in the galaxy.
>>64631586
Plug nothing but the Freeze and the looper and actually play your god damn guitar.
>>64631657
Using effects vastly extend the sounds you can get out of your guitar though.
>>64631749
So does practicing technique.
So.. I decided to compare the Dimarzio Air Norton to the INF1 Ibanez pickup..
Obviously it's not a fair comparision, the Dimarzio guitar has an Edge, while the INF1 uses the Gibraltar bridge. They are strung with .9 and .11 respectively.
Interesting results though. You can hear the Air Norton is much higher output.
https://clyp.it/3n5nkvbh
>>64631770
The sounds you can get from effects are sounds that you will never get without effects.
>>64631770
dont be ridiculous, i'd rather buy more pedals.
>>64631800
Some of them, maybe
>>64631749
Blasting a hole in your head vastly exteneds the echo, but I don't recommend it.
>maybe in your case?
>>64631800
And the sounds you get from effects will never replace the sounds you can get with technique.
Hey, guys. I'm the beginner who posts in here occasionally. Been about 5 months, now.

>>64631897
you've been playing only 5 months?
that was damn good.
Have a tab or anything?
>>64631861
Not just "some of them, maybe"
the sounds effects produce, are sounds you can get ONLY and ONLY through effects.
>>64631898
>>64631879
It all depends what you are looking for. if you look for a chorus sound, for example, you are going to need a chorus effect. if you just want a clean sound, then yes, you dont need to buy a chorus pedal.
It all depends what is your musical vision and what you are trying to achieve.

On the flipside, whilst I'm primarily interested in picking (and Nick Drake in particular), I'm trying to improve my strumming. I don't use plectrums because I think they sound abrasive, but when I use my thumb, it sounds uneven and clunky.
E.g.: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0PoLS4jcswO
How do I get a mix of softness and percussiveness in strumming?
>>64632388
Try strumming with your finger tips, so your nails hit the strings on the downstroke.
Why in the fuck is Crazyaga coming into the /gg/ threads, he's one of the worst trips of the last few years to be on this board
>>64631586
Holy shit, you're still just buying more effects? Jesus dude, you have an obsession and you only prove it by posting pics including the pedals you don't even use anymore. That said you have some nice pedals
>>64632493
just want to say i love your set up. looks classy as hell
p-bass + ampeg stack makes my dick hard
>>64632493
Yeah his presence is enough to ruin an entire thread. Hate that Israeli faggot. Hope Hamas blows up his house.
I have a 12 string acoustic that I want to connect to my computer to record stuff. There's no electronics inside yet. What is the cheapest way to get this done? I don't want a huge hole for a preamp in my guitar and I don't really want it to be visible.
>>64632535
Soundhole pickup, internal microphone, or piezo bridge are your main options. The first two don't necessarily require permanent modification to your guitar, and the third might not if you're clever.
>>64632535
Buying an interface and a microphone might not be the cheapest, but it is pretty versatile
>>64632602
I cant use a bridge pickup, I think my bridge is pretty non-standard. I'll look into the others, thanks.

When did you realize how stale and undynamic metal is, and when did you grow out of your shredding phase?
>>64632731
thankfully I've always hated it and never went through a metal phase
>>64632761
shredding phase*
unfair to say I hate all metal, i do like some of its subgenres
>>64632731
>>64632660
Seconding this, you can record pretty much everything with an interface and an SM57.
>>64632731
About one year after starting guitar. I still like it, there are great bands, but I can't listen to most trash/death/black metal, so I mostly stick to technical or innovative stuff.
>>64632731
Except it's not . You're listening to the wrong metal if you think it all lacks dynamics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhbYsjl-k9s
Hey friends, post rigs
>>64632731
A few years ago. Some of it is still timeless to me like Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth. Also Black Sabbath's classic lineup is my favorite band but I consider that more stoner rock than metal, which I prefer to metal by far
found a short old recording i made back when I was creative, think I was 15 or 16 here
https://clyp.it/ptmetaza
what do you think?
>>64632914
sounds like some age of empires shit
>>64632731
Is it a subtle request to post dynamic and original metal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQmVeF9jXY
>>64632810
>>64633049
Honestly metal with dynamics seems more like a minority, look at all these thrash/death/core shit bands.
>>64631586
How's the prime distortion? I'm looking for a good overdrive but the ones I like so far are in the $200-$300 range.
>>64632493
The need for attention is being leached out from his other, more common shitposting lairs.
>>64631657
I do play my guitar. I think a common misconception about people with a lot of pedals(me), is that we use them to hide behind. I use pedals to slightly color my tone. Compressor>slight distortion>slight overdrive>mid boost eq>slight reverb. Yeah I have phasers and delays and other modulation pedals, but they're never always on.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0LDmBceU8ZL

What made you start playing guitar /gg/?
I saw a classical guitar laying around in my grandparents house when I was 10 years old and I asked me mum if I could take guitar lessons with it.
>>64634563
my father forced me to play an instrument and my parents wouldnt buy me a drumset. now im happy i picked guitar but i still want a drumset
>>64634554
Isn't it an Ibanez Artcore?
>>64634563
My friend had a shitty acoustic for a while and I found it fun when I tried it. So I decided to play guitar.
That's probably the lamest reason ever.
>>64634563
I liked air guitaring to oldies and 90s rock from a young age. The instrument always appealed to me.
>>64634674
Not the one in the picture, the one in the video. It looks really small.

>>64634880
I thought this wasn't a shitplank thread.
So I just learned that pic related exists: a 4 string bass design with 4 more strings added. Do other guitar manufacturers do this? Does this work like a twelve string guitar? What does it sound like?

Seems like it could be a good deal for you . Though with a classic car like that you have to wonder why they would trade it for a 2002 civic, might be a money pit...
>>64636090

Does anyone recognize this logo? It's on a les Paul copy

Maybe some type of ambient.

Yea it's under Built Telecaster and I list each individual part and how I got it.
>>64636275
He said he wanted a daily driver the MPG would be almost triple for him if we traded. I'm thinking about doing it for resale at $3,000-$4,000
>>64636315
>>64636334
Yea I'm probably selling one and trading the other for the SG, I love them humbuckers and the sunburst color
>>64636360
I think you told me to get one of these before I looked into other alternatives and ended up trading my Swollen Pickle for a Logan Square Destroyer, that thing RIPS
>>64636503
Some kind of Matsumoku thing/ Hondo maybe`

This. If you're not messing with any actual switches and only switching pickups, you're pretty good, it's only the one wire from each. Or, have a tech do it for you. But, try out other pickups in a store first or see what pickups (and in what combination) that artists with a sound close to yours use. Also, make sure your aren't missing extras, like a mid-boost or a slight effect of some sort.

Pretty much, yeah. Other than some harmonizers (to a point) and whammy pedals(also to a point), you need effects to get certain sounds, unless you want to get a tube amp, go old school and overdrive the tubes for distortion, and even then, you'll just have the overdriven distortion.

Read anything and everything that interests you. Berklee has a free songwriting course on a website called Coursera, also, there's a book called Writing Better Lyrics by Pat Pattison, who also teaches that class, that's good. If you don't want to buy the book, one piece of advice I can recommend is to write for like 10 minutes every morning, right after you get up, pick an object or a thought and focus on it and write everything that comes to mind. It's an exercise in being able to pull up thoughts from the back of your mind and make them flow naturally when you write. Eventually, you should be able to do it relatively easily.

There's no shame in buying a lyric writing book and/or rhyming dictionary.
>>64632761
Same. Hate shredders, it really annoys the hell out of me. Tremolo picking needs to stay in surf and punk, heavy distort goes to classic rock and heavy blues and everything else about metal can die off.

I think you forgot reverb which can be achieved in the right environment (i.e a church)
>>64637709
tube or non tube?
non tube: check valvestate or whatever that death guy used live
tube: get the cleanest amp you can find and just use pedals for distortion

Rewind to sophmore year of high school. Friend has a guitar (he doesn't play anymore and didn't even play at the time, which is kind of annoying, seeing as how he had the damn thing lying around), I dicked around with it, I knew no chords at all and so I kind of made up scales. I recorded a short clip of something I made up, sent it to my girlfriend at the time because I was dogsitting for he and his mom that day, she thought it sounded nice (she liked Taylor Swift and most pop, so, I don't know indicative of any talent I had was) and guitarplayersgetmadtail.wav, having musical talent makes you more well rounded, and I've loved music since as far back as I can remember. I got a Dean acoustic for my birthday that year, fell in love with the thing, a Pacifica Strat with two single coils and a humbucker for Christmas and now I'm probably going to major in music.
>>64637790
a fender or roland jazz works with a pedal dist?
also is blackstar a meme or actually good?
>>64637130
>Yamaha ERG121
Not even a Pacifica. Father gifted it to me like 12 years ago. Still have it, tuned to whatever shit tuning I get interested into (drop A#). Neck it warped.
>Epiphone LP-100
Mom's gift, like 10 years ago. Neck is warped too, but different than the Yamaha. Have to use heavy gauge strings to straight it up.
>Ibanez RG 331M BOR
First guitar I bought. Love the annoying color. I think it is still my favorite guitar due to baby hands and not giving much of a fuck about its looks/scars. I do not fuck around with string gauges like I did with the others.
>Edwards ELP-92
It is just alright. I kinda dislike the bridge (vintage ABR style), as the retainer wire rattles a little.
>ESP Eclipse I CTM
I want to fuck this guitar. It is not mind blowing better that the Eddy, but everything is better, and feels better.
I dislike the knobs, and my current guitar knobs don't fit the pita for some reason. Bet it is imperial vs metric all over again.
Also, everybody complains that they look the same
>>64637889

You can get reverb almost anywhere but it becomes tricky when you rely on acoustics of a venue for reverb.
>>64637862
I don't think they take distortion/fuzz pedals too well tbqh. Here's an old clip of a telecaster into an hm-2 into a JC120. Shit quality because of the cell phone recording obviously, but you get the point. They kind of flub out in the low end, but I like how it retains a bit of clarity for extended chords

>>64637790
Valvestates are tube preamp and ss poweramp, not full ss.
Peavey stuff goes for pretty cheap, especially in the US where you can find 5150/6505 and Valveking heads easily, and those could definitely work.
Now that we're talking about jazz and metal, I wonder which amp Cynic used for Focus.
>>64637699
Hope metal dies. Never heard good metal and I've looked. I hate absolutely all of it. And. 95% of this community is intolerant as all hell. Not saying it makes it okay, just not something to be a) angry, b) suprised or c) even want someone dead over.
>>64634563
my dad played guitar and had them laying around the house, i wasn't allowed to touch them, they weren't cheap guitars. i never really cared about playing them. then when i was about 12 i went through his albums and put on led zeppelin II because the band named sounded kind of cool and i liked the album art, i must have listened to that album back to back 10 times that day. some switch went off and i wanted to be able to play that stuff. my grandpa had some piece of shit acoustic laying around his house that someone gave him and i started practicing, got some beginner chord book at a music store and just started working on it
I'm so happy because I finally figured out the picking pattern to the Tanworth tape version of Place To Be.
I'm shocked no one had already tabbed it.
>>64638029

your communication is vague like nick drake's lyrics, remember to tell us who did the song otherwise you'll die a virgin like nick, the angel.
Am I the only one here who doesn't really try to learn songs?
I take lessons and from time to time my teacher comes up with some solo like Highway Star or something, but I usually learn the whole thing in 30 minutes. I never cared about playing what others invented, I always wanted to create my own music.
Will learning to play songs I like improve my guitar skillz faster than just playing random stuff?
>>64637929
Thanks.
I've always liked these gold/aged creme bound Les Pauls, and I couldn't cop a Silverburst Eclipse, so, I went with the joke "I bet no one will notice I got another guitar".
And nobody did for like 2 months.
The knobs were the giveaway.
I just wish gold hardware wasn't so fucking shit, that tarnishes the moment I look at it.
>>64638117
Nick recorded two versions of Place to Be. I was referring to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdGrGd3MKII
It's from the reel-to-reel recorder at his house in Tanworth-in-Arden (hence 'Tanworth tape').

That has me seriously doubting going for the Artisan Majesty, I'm not totally into gold hardware from inital aesthetics and how it ages.

>>64638218
With a humbucker it would sound even muddier. I was going for more of a raw black metal sound with that high end growl.
But yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend jazzy solid state amps for metal. Lots of better options. Fender Bassmans sound really good with distortion pedals (and great for jazz) I don't know if you can get one in your country, look for a 1970s model for the best price.
so I need to split my bass signal and have one dry & one wet but then I need to merge them back into a mono signal so that they can go into the same amp, what pedal/ adapter do I need?
>>64638301
i find the 59 and 65 ones
i guess i will have to look for a high gain combo amps maybe
>>64637832
Not really saying they aren't, they just fall more under stoner rock which is very similar to metal but it runs with the stuff I like in metal and takes out most of the cheesey stuff metal has that I don't really like that much anymore
>>64637939
See this is a great example of what I like about Sabbath, stuff like this. Master of Reality is my favorite album and maybe that is why I don't see them as just a metal band like Priest or Maiden, they just don't seem very similar really
>>64638259
In LPs, it kind of works when the gold hardware ages. The whole guitar shape gives some kind of "old" feeling.
But on superstrats, rusted gold hardware looks horrible in my opinion.
>>64638162
i can't really mimic other guitar players well. when i was first starting out i learned solos and stuff, but i really have no desire to learn anyone's solos anymore. here and there i learn licks that i like in certain solos but that's pretty much it.
i think it's fine to learn some solos when you're starting out just to get an idea of how players build them, but i'm just not interested in it anymore. i just don't see the point in breaking my ass trying to mimic someone
>>64638350

The EBS Billy Sheehan drive has two separate loops for your clean and dirty signals within the pedal but I'm not sure if you can merge them back to mono.
The Ampeg SCR-DI pedal has an overdrive circuit that gets layered on top of your clean sound as a parallel signal so it is essentially what you're trying to do in a simpler format.

Tuning?
>>64638474
yea, i'm having a lot of trouble merging the signals back together, but Im not just using an over drive, I have several pedals I would like to be able to mix with my dry signal. This wouldn't be an issue if i could afford several amps
>>64638350
I would guess some method of running all the wet stuff in a Boss LS2 loop and then blending it 50/50 with the dry signal
>>64637130
>Squier Strat, friend had it and never played it, he knew I was big into music and gave it to me and I used it to learn basslines of simple songs I liked, eventually traded later for an ibanez ts9

>Fender MIM precision, black with a maple neck, same neck that's on >>64632493 this bass actually. The body, bridge, electronics, and pickups have been swapped out on it over time and several pickguards (current is tortoise, new pic in the future) and is my current main live and recording bass
>Rickenbacker 4003 ruby red, used it for a few years and was the main bass I had when I first came on /gg/. Eventually I came to be more fond of my precision bass, especially after I finished all my mods, and when I went to record with my current band, it proved to not really sound that great with everything. Sold it alot of my old pedals to fund my SVT rig (essentially traded my old rig for my current one and couldn't be happier)
>Epiphone Les Paul in Sunburst, had for a brief while inbetween bands, later returned it within 30 days to fund SVT rig
>90s Fender MIM precision in sunburst with rosewood neck and tortoise guard, got this as a backup to my main live bass and for rehearsals to save wearing out the strings on the main bass. I don't know if the pickups are stock or not but it sounds great, probably the best $350 I've ever spent for what it is, it puts some american p basses to shame
>Squier Precision bass in metallic red with a rosewood neck and black guard, got this for a home bass to noodle on, probably gonna slap some flats on it
Next on the agenda is an Epiphone dot to just have a guitar around and stop borrowing one from one of my buddies

Are you seriously using an AD200b through a behringer 810?
That is fucking disgusting. Any cab will sound better than that. Load that Peavey with Black Widow speakers and run it through that.
Holy fuck I'm triggered.
>>64640852
On another note, I used to own a Peavey VB-2. Those were very nice amps.
How is the Hartke AK115? I'm looking into picking up an AK410, supposed to be very ampeg sounding.
![LH500[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/sFeUWmu.jpg "LH500[1].jpg")
If any Bassbros out there are looking for a good sounding, loud, and nice quality head check out the Hartke LH500.
Only downside is the mids are cut only and bass/treble are boost only (flat is bass at 0 mid all the way up and treble at 0) so if you want more mids you'll have to run something into it.
You can find them for $250 used.
>>64634563
thom yorke/jonny and kurt cobain, i remember being 14 and obsessing over their bands, i never made any progress because i realised i hated guitar and prefered bass, but if it wasnt for them i wouldnt be playing bass
>>64640880
I did own a 410 for a while, switched to another 115 cause it fit better with the VB-2, and yes it does have low mid punch of a sealed ampeg cab. Also I'm sorry you feel that way about the bugera cab. I will agree with you that there are much better cabs to run the orange out of, and I've been primarily using the orange with the hartke's for rehearsal at my drummer's house and live use. But for what its worth its not complete shit, its actually pretty decent. But now that I just picked up the 2x15 Peavey cab I might just sell it to recoup the $325 I spent on the peavey rig.

Are you sure its a black widow loaded 215? Some of the earliest Pevey 215s from the 70s had pretty wimpy speakers in them.
Thats good to hear about the AK cabs. I used to own an svt 810, and before that a stack of two svt 115s.
I downsized my rig though, sold the VB-2 to a local kid for $500.
I actually had some repair work done on my VB-2 a few years back.
I talked plenty with Robert Baldwin who designed the amp (he's active on TalkBass and very helpful), and had him work on in personally, he ended up putting in 6CA7s instead of EL34s in mine before I downsized and got rid of it.
