| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 8:15am - SUBJUGATE ""] strings , picks and an IBANEZ SABRE |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 8:47am - DreamingInExile ""] SUBJUGATE said:IBANEZ SABRE I-BEEN-HAD... --------------------> on the purchase list for me is: Carvin TS100 Power Amp Marshall 412MG a&b cabnets Locking kit for a floyd rose trem (so my bridge don't move anymore) New guitar - probably an ESP LTD MHB-400 BARITONE (and not quite so musical) P5AD2-E Premium Motherboard Intel P4 EE 3.73GHz CPU 2GB DDR2 533 4x 250GB WD Raptor SATA HDD's (10,000RPM) SB Live Audigy 2 Platinum Ex ATI Radeon x850 XT 256MB Vid Card 16x Dual Layer DVD +/- RW Drive (and even less musical...) I have to plan my wedding :spineyes: So, I really have no money for the stuff I want to buy, but it's a nice wish list anyways |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:33am - powerkok ""] are you planning to melt ions with that comp? jeez louise. out of curiosity....why a baritone? |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:39am - DreamingInExile ""] a baratone, because we tune to B, and it's fucking torture on a standard scale guitar to be tuned that low (i.e. crap for string tension etc., also dosen't help that I'm using an I-BEEN-HAD) that comp is being built so I can get back into hardcore gaming & 3d modeling again. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:46am - SUBJUGATE ""] DreamingInExile said:SUBJUGATE said:IBANEZ SABRE I-BEEN-HAD... i hear that all the time but i have to disagree with it, don't get me wrong i love my JACKSON RR1 V but i always get paranoid with it being at shows(too many scetchy people) and 2 it weighs 3lbs more than the ibanez sabers and seeing where i had a broken tailbone before it never healed correctly and i now have cronic back problems a lighter guitar was somthing i needed to do |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:51am - DreamingInExile ""] I've got an Ibanez RG520QS, it's not a bad guitar, but I'd much rather a KV2 or an ESP DV8R |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:53am - powerkok ""] what gauge strings do you use? Throw 11's on that axe, and your tension probs will vanish. Of course you have to re-set the spring tension. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:56am - DreamingInExile ""] I'm getting a locking kit for my Floyd Rose, that will help with spring tension. 11's are too heavy for me, I can use a set of 10's with a really heavy bottom before I run into problems. I'm a light player, so 11's tend to be too heavy for the stuff I do. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 10:59am - powerkok ""] Ahh I gotcha. So do baritones need special baritone strings, or no? |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:01am - DreamingInExile ""] no, I don't believe so. I think they just use standard strings, but because the scale is longer (i.e 27" not 25.5") the tension problems work themselves out |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:04am - SUBJUGATE ""] i have 013's on all my guitars tuned to B flat to B flat b-e-a-d-g-b |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:07am - DreamingInExile ""] B standard tuning is: B-E-A-D-F#-B Bb standard should be: Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-F-Bb |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:15am - powerkok ""] 13's are friggin ape strings!!!...how the hell do you play leads on them? well...I guess Bb is low enough to let em flub a lil. Still tho...wow. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:16am - RustedAngel ""] as long as the G string isn't wound it probably wouldn't be a huge deal. I still prefer 11's tuned B-E-A-D-F#-B. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:21am - SUBJUGATE ""] eh i have always tuned pretty fucked up |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:24am - SUBJUGATE ""] powerkok said:13's are friggin ape strings!!!...how the hell do you play leads on them? well...I guess Bb is low enough to let em flub a lil. Still tho...wow. it has the tension of a standard tuned guitar at that gauge and tuning but when i play my g/f's fender squire with 009's and in E it is like playing on wet noodles |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:25am - gorgish ""] you have to buy baritone strings because the length of the strings are longer. and it's a pain in the ASS cause guitar center never has them you can put other strings on, but it's kind of silly to. i used to use 14s when i did aganihm. its alot like learning to play guitar all over again. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:27am - gorgish ""] i bought an mxr zack wilde pedal for more gain. it sounds pretty badass. i also got burst bucker gibson pickup in my bridge. um some dr 11 strings. that's about it. i've been thinking about switching out my v4-b and trying out some new heads, but i can't afford it right now |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:35am - RustedAngel ""] argh, I'm pretty good at setting up floyds since I've had to deal with them since 7th grade. For recording though, I'm gonna pay the local tech to setup both of my guitars to B and make sure they are intonated perfectly. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:37am - DreamingInExile ""] yeah, intonation... I definately need a setup on my guitar. it's close, but not perfect right now. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:39am - powerkok ""] ya...intonation on floyds sucks to do, but theres a tool out specifically for it. You can get it thru stu-mac, but I forget what they call it. But it makes it so you dont havta undo the string, every adjustment you make. Then all you need is a good tuner, and patience. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:49am - gorgish ""] floyd roses aren't worth the frustration.... i grew up playing with one since i was in 6th grade. ever since i changed guitars and lost the floyd rose it's like my guitar doesn't hate my anymore i fucking hate those things |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:50am - gorgish ""] hate me* |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:57am - powerkok ""] Ya...same here....but I NEED my floyd. If I didnt use it...I would get a les paul or variant in a second. I played an sg a couple of weeks ago....and I'm so used to the floyd it actually felt weird to play a regular stop tailpeice. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 11:59am - DreamingInExile ""] I like the way LP's sound, but I'm not comfortable playing them, and they don't down tune well, becaus eof the dovetail joint on the neck, if the tension isn't perfect, the neck can shift and cause problems :( |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:21pm - gorgish ""] les pauls are WAY to heavy i hate those guitars just get gibson pickups if you like how they sound. or you can get emgs and sound like every other metal band.... |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:26pm - powerkok ""] "or you can get emgs and sound like every other metal band.... " thats not true, seeing how many different amp/guitar/fx combinations there are. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:36pm - perilsoreasoning ""] i bought a used peavey ultra 60 head for cheap. sounds so good. so heavy. i saw backstabbers inc and they had two of these. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:39pm - powerkok ""] ya I used to have 2 pv 60/60 classic tube power amps. The first one was stolen by an ex-landlord and the 2nd one was demolished by my bassist spilling fog juice all inside of it. I loved those. But now that I have my mesa....never going back. |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:45pm - Boots nli wtf ""] Hey perilsoreasoning: i tried a used peavey ultra 60 out the other day with a marshall 4x12 cab. i thought it sounded good for the money. i'm a poor folk so i don't get to spend much cash on fun stuff. wasn't able to really crank it because i was in a store. can this thing handle a 4x12 cab cranked? |
| ____________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:48pm - perilsofreasoning ""] yup. used the head to power two cabs before. one of my guitarists uses my peavey head when we play out. my other guitarist uses a mesa single rect. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:51pm - powerkok ""] http://www.wholenote.com/resources/revmain.asp?i=2963 they get a good review on here....its only 60 w head, but it probably doubles in 4ohm mode. which it has 4/8/16ohm switch , which is cool. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 12:51pm - powerkok ""] which |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 1:11pm - Boots nli wtf ""] peril. how much did you pay for yours? |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 1:16pm - perilsofreasoning ""] $250 at daddy's junky music in dartmouth. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 28,2005 1:36pm - Boots nli wtf ""] fucking figures. i just called the place up that had it and they said they sold it two days ago. no, it wasn't daddy's. shitballs. i have the worst luck in the world. |
