Ok, an amp question. I have been severely considering buying an ENGL, but the purpose of me getting an amp is to start a band. Hopefully death metal. So the question I ask is....

What kind of amp do you think would have a pretty crushing tone, plus good lead tone. I know I can get it with ENGL, but Spynal told me he got a Solid State amp for 500 bucks that gets a kickass tone. (which it does) So anything that'd be cheaper that I could still get this kind of tone?

[SuburbanCowboy]

Anyone have the new issue of Guitar One or Guitar World?!?! You can see my ugly mug on page 8! I'm the 5th down (the blue bar counts as a column) and the 6th over... in the black shirt, holding the rp with 2 hands, and making the weirdest face.

[apocalypse13]

How is this?

And a bonus cookie if anyone can tell what band's shirt I'm wearing...

Consider what do you wanna sound like, also...imo solid states don't have the same kind of, fullness or warmth in the tone, so if you're gonna solo and you want that kinda property to it then valves are the way to go.

It all really depends on what you wanna sound like, and your bank balance.

Tattoo?? You sure you're looking at the right guy? I'm in between the guy with the sunglasses giving the "aloha" sign, and the dorky-looking guy with the gray shirt.

And it probably is too hard to see my shirt. Oh well, no cookie for you guys.

(it was a Queen shirt, btw)

[apocalypse13]

sorry man, maybe I have the wrong issue? August, Trey Anastasio on the cover??

[Matt_Malmsteen]

Man I just got my hair cut, the hair dresser was too fine...Might go to her again.
But anywho..it's waay too short, it's like, half an inch from what I wanted, it now looks like what Brian Molko's did in the Taste In Men video.

[ILoveHarmonics]

Got the same thing. My hair used to come nearly till my elbows. The person who cut it showed me the mirror and I saw a coupe de christian (no offense to christians intended) and I was like "ah why should I care it is so ****ty I like it.". I feel like some sort of Michael J Fox now :p:.

[Matt_Malmsteen]

I don't mind, when it gets a bit longer it'll be fine..it's just right now...it feels uncomfortable. I also know for a fact, come August 30th when I'm back at college, I'm gonan get called emo so much...I don't really give a **** either, as long as you like it everyone else can go and lick balls I guess.

Before this morning I had shoulder length hair though. The best bit was the chick, man she was fine;)

[ILoveHarmonics]

That's something special. Al lot of times they made stupid remarks about my long hair. Not offensive but just stupid. The same thing happens now. A lot of people talk like "well the long hair had more character but you are getting older now and once there comes a time bla bla". Darn bull****. I was just sick of taking care of it.

[Scorzerci]

I'm not gonna cut my hair for quite a long time I think (Even though basically everyone says I should).

[flamencogod]

I could imagine resi having an argument with zappa

[ILoveHarmonics]

Lot of verbally gifted musicians up here lately. I was surprised by John Mclaughlin aswell. To me it seems logical that Zappa had the best words because he was just friggin right IMO :). It was really cool how he knew all about that school where the kids who admitted rock music spoiled their lifes came from.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

If a chemist writes a song about say, the reaction of the neutralization of silver nitrate, did he write an intelligent song? :rolleyes:

[gtgram14]

If a chemist wrote a song about the neutralization of silver nitrate......

I'd be pretty impressed that he got his degree. :D

I have a question, would lowering the action on my guitar be a worthwhile thing to do? My action was set up for a fingerstyle jazz player, and I didn't notice how high it was until I went to guitar center and every electric I played was set up almost uncomfortably low. Would it make a significant difference in my ability to play if I decided to change mine up?

[Resiliance]

Not really, it's mostly a matter of preference... I play with really high action and can't do **** on a low action board.

[apocalypse13]

I need to lower my old guitar's action.

But if I do, it has some frets that don't work.

:sad:

[ILoveHarmonics]

^Already tried to adjust the thruss rod?

[Scorzerci]

I have middle-ish action and it works quite well for me. I have yet to try a guitar with really high action, but I want to try a guitar with a scalloped fretboard (basically same feel I hear).

[SuburbanCowboy]

The statement was made in reference to the Frank Zappa and John McLaughlin comments. It was a simple statement that some of you cannot grasp for some reason. I'll try my best to simplifiy it for you slower folks:

Jazz, and the fusions that branch from it, are usually played by intellegent guitar virtuosos who have a mature and complex outlook on the instrument.



Seriously guys, was it that hard to understand? I can't dumb it down any more than that for you.

[apocalypse13]

^Already tried to adjust the thruss rod?
No I'm not messing with that. I fear I'll screw something up, I'm gonna get a fairly cheap tech to revamp the pickups/neck for me.

[Prophet of Page]

I have middle-ish action and it works quite well for me. I have yet to try a guitar with really high action, but I want to try a guitar with a scalloped fretboard (basically same feel I hear).

My action is ****ing low, and that's how I like it. About 1.5mm over the 12th fret is where I like mine. Hell, if I could get it lower I would lower it.

And apoc, there's nothing a cheap tech can do that you can't.

[apocalypse13]

There is when I don't have a damn clue what I'm doing.

He's not a cheapo tech like he's gonna do a bad job or anything. He just owns a small, private shop and I've heard he isn't too expensive.

Can someone explain to me what anchoring is? I tried looking for the thread called Anchor or No Anchor but couldn't find it when I searched. ( FP told me to look for that thread )

Thanks.

[ILoveHarmonics]

It's the opposite from floating. So you put a pinky on the guitar while you pick or place your hand on the bridge. You can also anchor by placing your arm on the body of the guitar. The difference between just touching the guitar and anchoring is you make contact in such a way the body part can't move without being lifted. If you don't do it consider yourself lucky.

[Asian_Jesse]

architecture of aggression :D

[apocalypse13]

I think my mind has been made up.

I'm prolly gonna save for an ENGL Powerball. Which by my calculations would take me about 5-6 months. (If I weren't going to be putting money back into savings, it'd only take about 4.)

I'd really like to have a Savage, but they're about 400 more dollars, which I could put towards the neccessary cabinet. So unless I change my mind throughout these months, I'm sticking with the Powerball, which btw kicks severe amounts of ass.


I had initially had doubts that tube amps would be heavy and aggressive enough for the stuff I like to play, but these clips among others proved me wrong.

[Axegrinder#9]

yeaaa... whatever...

anyway, check it out, a lil' epiphany, I was listening to "Hot For Teacher" after a long time, and suddenly realized that the whole song structurally, melodically and even at times in terms of the phrases used, seems to be the template upon which Vai based his "Audience is Listening" - listen to the songs back to back and you'll know what I mean...

and yea I suddenly made an undiluted hair metal and 80s playlist, and suddenly found myself playing alongwith Whitesnake, EVH, Skid Row and GnR!

One of the worst names as well (well I do admit it sounds pretty with a movie that's just called "snakes on a plane"). When I first heard of it I thought it was some internet joke making fun of Samuel L. Jackson!

[Resiliance]

They wanted to change the name of the movie to Pacific Air Flight 162 or something, but Samuel L. Jackson said that he'd leave if they changed it and wanted to keep Snakes On A Plane.

:headbang:

[Erc]

I honestly LOVE the name Snakes on a Plane. It leaves no questions to be asked, such as "what's it about?" If I feel like watching a movie on 2 of the most prevalent fears in society, I know EXACTLY where to turn to.

And that is awesome.

I had a moment like that'shred sucks' one the other night at a party. A bunch of classic rock enthusiasts were going on about guitarists- I had no idea that they were classic rock fans when I mentioned steve Vai. The response I received was a arge chorus of people jeering that Steve Vai's music was emotionless wank and that Jimmy Page was much more technically difficult to play! The fact that none of them had ever heard Vai didn't seem to bother them as their opinion was 'obviously' right. Anyway, as I was most of the way through a bottle of JD and had consumed 8 cans of tennents before I went out, I engaged in a pointless 30minute argument where everything I said fell on deaf ears. Well, enough said, better to ignore it and not waste your energy as Paddyo said.

[Scorzerci]

Or stab them in the face...

[HammerForce]

You will not believe how tempted I was to do that with the bottle when I finished it.

[Freepower]

I spent the best part of a week basically being the third person in BTS2, and some people took me seriously when i demonstrated that "Sweeping as teh only way to solo". Its a sad time when you're reputation is too bad to even be funny. :(

:eek: FP is back

Fo shigga, my nigga, for a VERY limited time. :)

FP : where in Switzerland are you gonna be?

Zurich for the first week, and edge of the alps for the second. With gf and family. :)

[Scorzerci]

Cool I live in Zurich. Too bad you didn't come a few days earlier, you just missed the street parade (kickass street party with a bunch of hot chicks, but unfortunately even more gay half naked dudes wearing ass-less pants). Good fun...

[hepzibahbaptist]

shoot them

[Scorzerci]

BOOM headshot!;)

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol^

[Freepower]

BOOM headshot!;)
:idea:
:D


Yeh, heard all about that from my friend, Erich, who deals in the ganj. Do you know him perchance?

[Scorzerci]

Nope. I don't smoke ganj so I wouldn't know him... Do you know where he lives? Some people I know apperantly get their weed/whatever it is they do from a guy in öerlikon.

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol
just randomly bust outin a converstion about weed

[Freepower]

Ahh. Sadly, i wouldn't know.

And tbh, there's bound to be more than one dealer in Zurich, and he's small time, if serious.

[Scorzerci]

Yeah, but there is a small possibility that it's the same person. The people I know are only 14 though so they always get completely ripped off :p:.

[Resiliance]

Get high on music, ya hippie.

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol^

[Scorzerci]

Get high on music, ya hippie.
No drugs or alcohol ftw :p: !

[Resiliance]

Music > drugs and alcohol, I don't see why you'd settle for less ;)

****off with ideologies.

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol
that was def. some words of wisdom

[Scorzerci]

foshizzle

[Freepower]

Music > drugs and alcohol, I don't see why you'd settle for less ;)

The 80s tried to combine them.

:no:

[Resiliance]

They did that plenty before, young man. The 80's was mainly people taking em' to get through the life on the road and idiots thinking it was cool because they were doing it :p:

[Freepower]

But...

the 80s...

*mind explodes*

To get through life on the road? Pah. Drugged up losers. I'd rather be clean and NOT have trousers made from panties collected from the stage.

:(

[Resiliance]

Oh sure, use humour to get out of the stalemate.

I am on to you, mister!

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol what the crap dude

[Shreddin 4 Life]

Music > drugs and alcohol, I don't see why you'd settle for less ;)

****off with ideologies.

:cheers:

I feel the same way man

never touched drugs in my life!
prolly never will!

[splice]

drugs are for thugs you guys

[apocalypse13]

I won't deny the fun of being fockin trashed.

It's damn fun.

Oh sure, use humour to get out of the stalemate.

I am on to you, mister!

Pah, you may understand, but know this - you can't win. I will always have something funny to say, which absolves me of any failings. Hence i cannot lose.


Hence it is only a matter of time till i win. ;)

ROFL @ "The Great Kat" being closed

[Shreddin 4 Life]

well,

when u got a thread where about 95% of the posts bash her, it's only a matter of time...

[TheUltimateSin]

I just found it funny how the last couple post commented on getting the thread closed(via Resi Signal, and not counting the posts about her fang-lined pooter), and I wake up the next day to see that it's been closed.

[Scorzerci]

After the kat picture came resi/one of the other mods decided that they never wanted to hear, speak or see her EVER again.

[TheUltimateSin]

^I concur with that decision

[apocalypse13]

Rofl, I would not do her.

Unlike the few people who posted that.

She's just....ugh...:puke:

[TheUltimateSin]

^Like I said: Great Kat's poontang is lined with razor-sharp fangs and, as Snow pointed out, all of which are angled harpoon-style. And they stopped making effective chainmail condoms back in 1625.

[paddyo]

^Yeah but they stock the badger skin ones in some shops still :D

Still wouldn't though!:p:

[TheUltimateSin]

Platemail > Chainmail > Badger Skin


and on the second half, I still wouldn't either. Beastiality is a sin
:puke:

[apocalypse13]

:haha

[Scorzerci]

To anyone that would bang the great kat, you are totally going to hell!

[TheUltimateSin]

To anyone that would bang the great kat, you are totally going to hell!

*coughs and reference his "beastiality is a sin" remark*

Like I said.....











:puke:

[Scorzerci]

Somehow I bet the great kat is still a virgin. No sane person would bang the great kat...

[TheUltimateSin]

:haha

[Resiliance]

Sanity is overrated...


*shifty eyes*

¬_¬

[TheUltimateSin]

^So what you're saying, Resi, is......



You'd **** The Great Kat? :eek:

[NevermorePsalm]

Resi would **** a baby goat if it looked at him funny.

[TheUltimateSin]

Resi would **** a baby goat if it looked at him funny.


I don't think you understand the situation here.....

...This is "The Great Kat" we're talking about. I mean, baby goat vs Great Kat......

You don't need an armoured condom to **** a baby goat.

[paddyo]

:haha:haha To the last page or so....

[NevermorePsalm]

I don't think you understand the situation here.....

...This is "The Great Kat" we're talking about. I mean, baby goat vs Great Kat......

You don't need an armoured condom to **** a baby goat.

Wait, you don't need armour condoms to **** a kid?

/hopes people understand what I mean by kid

[apocalypse13]

Kids... :)






......Yum :)

























:)

[TheUltimateSin]

Wait, you don't need armour condoms to **** a kid?

/hopes people understand what I mean by kid

By direct comparison to Kat, no.


/knows what you were talking about

[paddyo]

^how many times have you ripped that technique of Priest.FAn?? 13?? 27??

;)

EDIT: Damnit! That was for Apoc...

[apocalypse13]

:o

What technique? :o






























:o

[TheUltimateSin]

[/rofl]

[Beckerism]

Don't you love opening up UG and finding a thread called "Who Agrees With me?" locked. :haha

[Scorzerci]

/at the end of post technique I believe

[hepzibahbaptist]

lol

[Scorzerci]

I love you

[HammerForce]

Hey hepzibahbaptist do you ever post anything other than 'lol'?
I'm sure you probably do but all I've ever seen you post has been 'lol' maybe im just not looking hard enough...

[Resiliance]

Yeah, a mod might consider all those short posts spam, y'know.

*hint*

[Scorzerci]

OOOOOOO *circle gathers around Resi and Hepzibahbaptist*

[SnowballofDoom]

lol
circles

[hepzibahbaptist]

nah dude
i post more than that
but if i ever do spam sry
i dont mean to
yall are gonna hurt my feelings

[NevermorePsalm]

Good. We are a mean bunch around here. Btw, I learned I have an amazingly large vocal range today.

[TheUltimateSin]

Good. We are a mean bunch around here. Btw, I learned I have an amazingly large vocal range today.

Can you rival Bruce in operatic vocals yet? Nukkah?

[apocalypse13]

/at the end of post technique I believe
Lolz I know.

I was being a smartass. :cool:

Can you rival Bruce in operatic vocals yet? Nukkah?
Oh snap, bizzowned.

[Erc]

Good. We are a mean bunch around here. Btw, I learned I have an amazingly large vocal range today.

My range sucks =(

I've got a voice almost exactly like the guy from Poets of the Fall.

[apocalypse13]

I don't practice enough with clean vox to know what it sounds like. I don't like it =/

But either way, <3 growling. I do it all the time and am developing some pretty sick **** with it.

[rat-man]

hey apoc how do you develop your growling??do you follow a practice routine??

[apocalypse13]

No, I just practice all the time.

Basically, I figured it out myself. I read things NOT to do, and warning signs that you're doing it wrong and worked from there.

Just make sure you don't use your throat. You open/close it to control pitch, but don't produce sound with it. People say "Use you diaphragm" but that's pretty hard to explain. =/

[Shreddin 4 Life]

that's awesome, I wish I could growl... :sad:

[TheUltimateSin]

:eek: almost to 7000 posts!

[apocalypse13]

If anyone wants to find my house, just look for the sign that says "TELEMARKETERS, PLEASE CALL HERE."

Kthnxbye

[TheUltimateSin]

^LMAO I have so much fun when telemarketers call my house and they are unfortunate enough to have me answer the phone. I mess with them so much :haha

[Shreddin 4 Life]

:haha

[Godly Moose]

You guys should feel very sorry for telemarketers, after hearing this.

http://crazytelemarketer.ytmnd.com/

Listen too all of IT. Apparently telemarketers are the causings for gang rapes, murders, terrorism, etc...

[TheUltimateSin]

:haha

[apocalypse13]

Yea I saw that a few weeks ago. I lol'd.


I've decided my chops need some serious woodshedding. I'm going to attempt to work the solo to This Godless Endeavor up to hopefully about 75% speed. HOPEFULLY. Considering it's ridiculously fast, that could prove to be a challenge.

[guitarandbmx]

How long does it take roughly before you can shred properly?(with the right amount of pracitce)

[Resiliance]

7.343 years.

[HammerForce]

Hmm, I'd say the figure is more like 13.269, but then who amI to argue with you Resi.

[Resiliance]

No one, frankly.

;)

[TheUltimateSin]

7.343 years.

You must have forgotten to carry the 1 after you multiplied by Pi and divided by the square root of 144, because I came out with 7.845.

[NevermorePsalm]

Can you rival Bruce in operatic vocals yet? Nukkah?


Uh...I'm not singing opera though. So. Yeah. To sum up my range it goes from average dm growl to james blunt. yeah. srsly.

[TheUltimateSin]

I didn't say you're range included operatic vocals. It was a random yet relevant inquiry :) ;)


[/random]<----I neglected to included this

[Shreddin 4 Life]

:haha

that's pretty good range

speaking of range, have u guys ever heard of Adagio ?

they're second singer (current one) has a range that goes from ur average growl up 'til operatic! I find it to be quite impressive...

[Resiliance]

Yeah, most of those power metal vocalists have insane ranges.

And I'll take ignorant phrase for 400.

[Godly Moose]

Two more posts until 7000...

[apocalypse13]

Growling isn't in your "range..." because you don't use your voice. Therefor it really shouldn't be included in "vocal ranges."

nubs

[Godly Moose]

I win 7000?!?

Thank you everyone, hereby I wish to dedicate this 7000th post to my idol, who is also present on these forums, the great Resiliance.
