hibbytam Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'm quite surprised there's not a thread like this already. Hm. Probably is and i'm blind. Anyway. Yeah, what do you play? through what? with what? My current guitar is quite an old one(well, older than me...) Its my dads old guitar. Les paul style Ibanez, from (i think) 1980. Its quite cool, probably more because of what it is, rather than how it sounds. The rest of my stuff is mostly cheap stuff. My amp came with my first guitar. Its a small practise amp. Can't remember who makes it. My bass is a starter type bass, that I nicked off my brother, because he couldn't play it. I don't know or care especially who made it. With a similar bass ampMy theory is that if you should learn to play good on crap, then upgrade. That or i'm just cheap..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I've got a Spear electric guitar ::: SPEAR Guitar T-200::: which is a belter, and that's about it, besides a couple of pedals that I've begged, borrowed or stolen. I don't have an amp, in fact all I really have is my guitar, I just bum stuff off the venue or the other bands or my bandmates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooms Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 what does the trigger do tooms? does it switch between your bass drum sound to a different sound on the dtexpress or something?the Trigger is just attached to the skin of the bass drum and detects whenever you hit the bass drum. This then triggers a "sampled" kick drum sound via the drum module and is sent to the desk. - Although I don't use total replacement, i always have the kick mic'd up as well. Then usually blend it out front 70/30 ish in favour of the trigger.The mic gives you the low end punch and the trigger gives you the high end attack to really cut through the live mix. I have/like a really clicky trigger which you just cant get through a normal mic.EVEN when you EQ the fuck out of it through the desk. You may get a decent single kick tone through the mic, but it sounds different when you're playing fast double kick. Not to mention it still doesnt really cut through very well when sat in the mix.For a live demonstartion check out my gig at drummonds on August 4th!! lol /end shameless plug.

Tooms Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 yes yes, you have "THE TONE QUEST" guitar rig. shut up.Oh Dan was gonna ask, as a cheaper way to get a very good (mic'd) guitar tone. Do you reckon it'd be worth buying a single (or two) Celestion V-30(s)? You can get them on their own for like 40/50!!Then obv. need some cab cloth (got that) and then build a make shift cabinet to house it??I'm thinking about recording wise here - without having to go out and buy a Mesa or Orange cab or something. And it'd live in a tone cupboard. (i'm building a vocal booth/tone cupboard soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooms Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 aw well that's nice to know. :-)I quit/left the aberdeen-music forums all those years ago just cos it turned into basically a bunch of people who didn't actually play any instrument, bitching about how bad they thought other people were. Got pretty annoying!I think i'm going to stick to the confines of the Musician's Corner! Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon it'd be worth buying a single (or two) Celestion V-30(s)? You can get them on their own for like 40/50!!Well the reason mesa's etc sound so much better is due to the quality of wood etc to build the cab. The resonance of woods differ, and therefore alter tone significantly. I think marshall cabs are made of plywood whereas mesas are a more expensive and dense wood - and therefore fucking heavy. You'd probably be better trying to stick a V30 in a cheaper cab than make your own from scratch to be honest... but I'm not a total expert on the subject.Blackmachine guitars look incredible- what model exactly do you have and how much did it set you back, if you don't mind me asking?I have the B2, which was 1600 - although that was 2 years ago - think they are 2k now as well as a two year waiting list!Here's a photo of it in action: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
