I have to drive 7 hours to go see Neil Young in april

[JilaX^]

Well, you should see if you can catch The Twisters somewhere near you. EXCELLENT blues band. Jump blues at it's best.

I approve of this.

crazy dutch bastards.

Guys, I wanted to know, would it be ok to use "Funkadelic - Maggot Brain" for the blues duels? The song is slow paced, and the lead guitar is quite bluesy, but I'm not sure it's blues.

Check them out, they're all great players and good showmen.
The bassist is just insane. He played stuff that left my cousin (Who's been playing for like 15-20 years or more, can't quite remember.) just standing their with an open mouth :haha

I got to know them in person too, and they're fantastic guys. Deserve more attention than they get.

The funniest thing is how much the Guitarist looks like John Bonham :haha


And, Urik, that song is definitely Blues ;)

[strawforest007]

30 Days in the Hole?

Haha! I don't think people here got your Humble Pie joke there. Superb band and I recommend all the albums which Marriott and Frampton were involved in. 'I Wonder' is one one my favourite slow blues tunes of all time. Brilliant band.

he does look like him, at least with that generic 70's haircut/beard combo :haha

and yes, Maggot Brain is blues, that is what I'd call it anyways

it is also the shiz

Megawant. After 3.5 years playing, I'm still with my Squier. That's what sucks about Argentina. Although living, gas, water, and all that stuff is cheaper than over there, guitars, and technology overall is more expensive. And we earn WAY less. I earn 2 USD per hour (a not bad at all wage for a delivery boy), and an american strat costs around 2000 USD.
I'd have to work 250 days to get a simple American Strat :( .

I've seen 50+ years old bluesmen with Squiers over here. I saw a guy that shreds like Malmsteen with a guitar worse than my Squier. It felt like plastic. And a Zoom 505 :haha.

EDIT: Just checked. A normal MIA strat costs here more than an Eric Johnson signature strat over there :eek:.

[JilaX^]

So get a good MiM strat instead ;)

[Carswell98]

So get a good MiM strat instead ;)

yeah, you can't go wrong there


there are some really decent deals out there on the mexican strats

[JilaX^]

Idd.

The Classic 50's series strats are very nice. One of my cousins have one, and it's amazing.
Plays perfectly and sounds great. (He did swap out the bridge pick up) A very good deal indeed.

yeah, and some mexican models come loaded with really decent pickups stock as well, the lonestar model has 2 texas specials and a SD pearly gates from the factory

[urik]

Really? I never have been amazingly into MIM strats. Played a friend's one and liked my squier better. Though I've been playing for only 1.5 years back then. I could check them out. Do you guys have any recommendation about MIM strats? Something to look about them?

EDIT: Dear god. A second hand MIM Strat costs over here 823 USD. This country has gone crazy. I think that I'm staying with my squier for another year, and going to work and get some nice stuff to USA next summer.

[TNfootballfan62]

look at a Japanese strat, if you can find them there. They are supposed to be fantastic bang for your buck, at least compared to American strats. :)

That said, I love my MIM, with the few upgrades done to it.

[strawforest007]

I briefly owned a MIM strat, all gold it was (very garish) made 2003. A solid guitar to be fair to it. Got it for £300 second hand but in really decent nick. All stock hardware and sounded / felt good. Nothing seriously wrong with those guitars, but since I ditched it for my MIA I've not looked back. There is a noticable difference, certainly in feel. I've not checked out a MIJ but I nearly bought one since they get rave reviews, but found my MIA instead. There's plenty of variables with strats that it seems to make every single one different, even if it comes off the line the same day as another in the same factory. Some MIJ's and MIM's can out-do the MIA's, especially with upgrades. With MIA's you're forking out the extra cash mainly for the namesake maybe? Then again I've only played on the one MIA as far as I'm aware it's a good 'un!

[imgooley]

Lucky me, I don't like strats :wavey:

I'll **** with a Telecaster though :)

I'm actually very happy with my Starcaster. Could give a **** what it says on the headstock (I sanded it off :o), but it sounds good and plays great for me, so what else could I want?

[ze monsta]

I want several acoustics right now. I haven't been playing electric recently. :o
Got some gigs lined up though. :)

I'm soooo ****ing tired though. I feel like death. :sad:

[BluezOldy]

MIM Made in Mexico

MIA Made in America - by Mexicans (not that I have anything against Mexican products - I love my MIM 50th Anniversary Golden Strat).

The Fender factory in Mexico is actually only a few miles from the USA one. The necks used in Mexico are made in the US.

http://reviews.photoweborama.com/allthingsguitar1/fendertour/index.html

[imgooley]

^Lol, that's just sad

[ze monsta]

Got new strings on my acoustic. Some nice beefy 12s :) Sounds sweeeeet. Second set in 2 weeks, I'm kinda addicted to acoustics right now. :p:

[slidething31]

12's count as beefy now?

Man up and slap on 13's at least. :p:

[ze monsta]

I used to have 13s, but I was playing acoustic so much and for so long that my fingers became too sore to play, so I've been on 11s since like, last year. :p:

MONSTA EDIT:
I think I prefer the sound of 11s with this guitar, but all I had was 12s.

[imgooley]

I want a parlor guitar.

[ze monsta]

http://www.lagguitars.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?GUID=8f991326-eac2-4054-add5-7796130cb7ae
Nicest parlour guitar I've played. That's on my must have list.

[slidething31]

Buddy Guy guested at the Allman Brothers show last night. There's a video on youtube of them playing You Don't Love Me, and Buddy's playing was quite frankly, painful.

Kind of a shame. They also had Johnny Winter the other night, and he really isn't himself anymore. It's sad to think of all the great bluesmen who are starting to slip...

[MrBlues]

yer even bb king, though apparently he still puts on a great show its not as good as it used to be. At least buddy is still fairly young compared to most of them. actually i dont know, is he?

[imgooley]

Buddy's like 76.

[MrBlues]

ok im wrong, i obviously havnt seen a recent picture.

[slidething31]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6UcUayjjco

Bruce Willis playin harp on Smokestack Lightnin with the ABB.

[VisionaryTics]

ok im wrong, i obviously havnt seen a recent picture.

In his words, he done got old.

[JilaX^]

Indeed.

Bruce Willis is a pretty bad player though. :haha

His tone just annoys me :o

[slidething31]

Ehh... He wasn't anything spectacular, but he did a good job of blending and not getting in the way of Warren and Derek.

I can't say the same for Buddy. At least from the video I saw...

[ze monsta]

Buddy still looks pretty young though, don't you think?

[imgooley]

Yeah.

From what I hear, Buddy has his good days and his bad days.

Buddy needs a right group backing him up to get really going.

Tbh, he was better than Warren was from what I can hear in that video. Warren was just way off.

[slidething31]

^ I'll have to strongly disagree there. Maybe Warren's playing wasn't quite as incendiary as it can sometimes be, but I thought it was very tasteful.

Buddy was just all over the place.

[JilaX^]

Warren was just wanking there, imho. :shrug:

[ze monsta]

Watched that video. Buddy was sloppy. :sad:

[JilaX^]

Buddy has ALWAYS been sloppy.

Just like Jimmy Page, etc.

They still sound awesome ;)

[ze monsta]

Yeah, but not in that way. :( He's got his own distinct style, as does Page, but there are times when they aren't on form. That being one.

[JilaX^]

Ofc, he wasn't on. That's for sure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTEcHeEps-Q

To see Buddy when he was playing like that...

Man.

[BluezOldy]

In his words, he done got old.

I love Buddy's version of that song.

[ze monsta]

:eek:

That is amazing. :cheers:

... anyways,

Kyuss anyone?, I've really started to dig this band

[JilaX^]

Kyuss is the shit.

My cousin introduced me to them a few years ago, by buying me a best off CD. They have quite a few amazing songs. Josh Homme was so much more bad ass back then, than in QOTSA.

yeah, and I don't even mind a lot of qotsa stuff, I was just sort of wiki-ing them and came across Kyuss, I decided to check it out and it kicks a lot of ass

and then it hit me that I've loved stoner rock for a long time, I had listened to a little of it here and there, but when goolz recommended "Orange Goblin" a while back I started trying to find more like it

then I realized I had albums from most of the bands on the wiki article about stoner rock already, I had no idea Clutch classified as that, I just knew that they were very awesome




:liplick: dear god I love new music, and rediscovering old music :)

[JilaX^]

:D

It's an awesome feeling.

Stoner rock can be pretty awesome. I'm into all kinds of different music as long as it's "good" so I get it all the time :D

I already have Sleep's Holy Mountain, which is ****ing awesome, I haven't really heard enough of Kyuss to be able to say if they're better or worse or what not

and dude, thanks for all that, you're right about of some of them, I draw the line at certain levels of vocal clarity y'know? but I'll try anything twice

but damn, I just love the epic heavy riffs, and a lot of this stuff is very obviously blues/rock based, and that is what it makes it kick so much ass

that is messed up, and the lead singer of said band is a former singer of one of canadas biggest band, except he changed his name and moved to Texas?

okay, I guess he doesn't play with that band anymore, but he did help found it


and I just heard some of their stuff, and it's really heavy blues rock :liplick:

still, it doesn't seem like his type of music, considering the acts hes normally been associated with

they define themselves as playing Delta-Metal

This is true. I think Mayer is worse though. Did you see that video with Mayer, Trucks and Frusciante?

He's just SRV wanking through the whole thing :facepalm:

edit


so am I the only one not aware Chris layton is now drumming for a modern rock band?

that is messed up, and the lead singer of said band is a former singer of one of canadas biggest band, except he changed his name and moved to Texas?




:wtf:


edit, again


okay, I guess he doesn't play with that band anymore, but he did help found it


and I just heard some of their stuff, and it's really heavy blues rock :liplick:

still, it doesn't seem like his type of music, considering the acts hes normally been associated with



edit, last time, I promise


they define themselves as playing Delta-Metal

that is easily the greatest genre name ever

Epic edits. :haha

I know Chris was touring with KWS when I saw him this summer.

Who is this other band? :o


ALSO:

WOOT, I'm gonna get a new MIM 50's Strat soon :D

[Carswell98]

:haha
Thanks man!

But, yeah. It's not that I'm not feeling it, it just sorta escalates. And I feel it in the moment, and then I go:"What the hell did I just do? :haha"

This is true. I think Mayer is worse though. Did you see that video with Mayer, Trucks and Frusciante?

He's just SRV wanking through the whole thing :facepalm:

frankly I thought that Mayer and Frush were fumbling, they were both so intimidated by Trucks' awesomeness they just flailed

because lets face it, Bonamassa should have been there before either of those 2 clowns

*pictures Trucks/Bonamassa jam session in head, jizzes in pants*

Oh dear... That would make me jizz my pants too.
But, let's be honest. Who wouldn't be fumbling with Trucks there?
Did you hear Mayer try to excuse himself? :haha
"See, these things are called frets. And they are very descript alliniations of notes.
Well, he doesn't even pay attention to them, because he's got the slide so he's going up and down. So he has infinitely more sounds on his guitar, then I have.

It's the last one they have in the neighbour city's music store at the old price. So I'm saving like 300$ by getting it now, by borrowing from my Mom, as opposed to waiting till this summer!

Playing with Mayer could be interesting. Trying to call him out :haha

The new album is great.

Not his very best album, guitar wise, though.

[slidething31]

So I bit the bullet and ordered a guitar online. It came yesterday. You're looking at the prud new owner of a Reverend Manta Ray. This guitar is great, plays smooth, and gives me that great semi hollow tone I wanted.

The only thing I'm not completely sold on are the pin lock tuners...


It's a great guitar though, I'll get some pics up later today if yall want.

[ze monsta]

Do it! :D

[strawforest007]

Yes! pics please (and audio clips if you can)!! You gone for the 290 or the HB-FM? I'm tempted to get the Flame Maple Blue Burst HB-FM to match my strat. Not that I can afford one. Yet.

Yeah I liked it too, I'm having a hard time deciding if I like "Feelin' Good" or not

that song sounds so much better vocally coming from Nina or Michael Buble, but I sort of like his hard approach to it, I thought it was cool

In the Hall of the Mountain King - Edvard Grieg

[Carswell98]

Yes!


thanks dude :)

[strawforest007]

No problem! It was used loads as well in films etc. Covered by many artists and inspired the inspector gadget theme apparently (got that last bit of trivia off wikipedia, but it's right and despite my hate for that cartoon it's a cool fact). I've loved that piece since I first heard it, probably from the Alton Towers (an English theme park) TV ads from the early nineties. Quite a dark piece too which I like. Great composition, sounds great on guitar too!

[JilaX^]

This is correct.

Knew it as soon as I had a guitar to play it through.

The piece was written for a scene from Peer Gynt where he meets the king of trolls, it's epic. ^^

[slidething31]

Don't know if yall know about the Wolfgang's Vault website, but it has classic concerts you can stream for free. They've got a couple Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac shows, great quality.

I listen to clutch, the tone on mice and gods is pretty run of the mill rock tone, bridge position, decent gain, high mids

if you are talking about the solo, it almost sounds like an autowah but I don't know

Yep, I thought it would be pretty easy to get but I've been arsing around all night and I can't get happy!

I've got some good stuff out of it - got a cracking Tool sound a few days ago. But this one caused me problems for some reason. It's good fun to mess about with but you can't beat the organic stuff for proper jamming - I love my EVJ.

That's true, it does do High Gain tones pretty well!

this one?

"Is it possible for me to run my Fender Blues Deluxe, using the speaker in the amp - and a 412? and how do I go about doing it?"


doesn't the blues deluxe have a extension cabinet output?


edit- and I'm starting to miss you around here man :p:

you bridge the gap when JilaX and goolz aren't online a lot of the time :p:



edit-


I just checked musicians friend, and it doesn't have one eh?

that is incredibly gay, I know the hot rod deluxe has one :/

your going to have to go ask the GGA forum, maybe someone can give you a cheap mod or something

[ze monsta]

It does! :p:
I just plug in a speaker cabinet there, I actually got that far already - but what I really wanted to know about is the impedances.

[imgooley]

I'm online all the time, I'm just in GGA all the time :p:

I'm trying to bring teh bl00z to teh masses ;)


And Gus: I'm sure if you got the right sized cable, i.e. a really thick, low impedence one, you could make a Y adapter, I guess, and nigga-rig it like that.

[imgooley]

It does! :p:
I just plug in a speaker cabinet there, I actually got that far already - but what I really wanted to know about is the impedances.
It's an 8 ohm speaker, right?

So if you're running it with an 8 ohm speaker cab, the total load will be 16 ohms, so you'd have to half the impedence of the output.

Kyle would know the answer better, but I'm pretty sure that's what you do. I have the info laying around somewhere, but am too lazy to dig it up.

[ze monsta]

In the amp it says:

Parallel speaker jacks - 40 watts - 4 OHM

Does that mean I could plug into both plugs - as long as the extension cab is 4 OHMs?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotAcLF1tXc
AMAZING :eek:

[imgooley]

BTW, Brae, if you need amp advice for a Stoner Metal project, you know who to ask ;)

Seriously, though, what's more blues than a bunch of Blue Collar folk playing loud music on the weekends while getting blitzed out of their minds :haha

In that statement, metal is interchangeable with blues :o

[imgooley]

In the amp it says:

Parallel speaker jacks - 40 watts - 4 OHM

Does that mean I could plug into both plugs - as long as the extension cab is 4 OHMs?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotAcLF1tXc
AMAZING :eek:
No.

So it has 2 jacks? One for an extension and one for the actual speaker?

If, when both are operating, and the amp is operating at 4 ohms TOTAL, the load on each jack would be 8 ohms, because it's a parallel circuit.


Also: :eek: Is Corey Harris recording a new album? It'd be awesome if he, Keb Mo and Alvin Younblood did a collaboration :) I just ordered Greens from the Garden the other day ;)

[Carswell98]

BTW, Brae, if you need amp advice for a Stoner Metal project, you know who to ask ;)

Seriously, though, what's more blues than a bunch of Blue Collar folk playing loud music on the weekends while getting blitzed out of their minds :haha

In that statement, metal is interchangeable with blues :o


yeah, I was thinking about what I'd need to get that sound out of my delta blues, it's not the most br00tal amp under the sun


I was just looking at a metal muff, it seemed to fit the bill well


of course then I'm going to need a guitar with humbuckers if I want to run that much gain, I already have crazy issues with hum with my strat

Reminds me of The Velvet Underground. I love how the guitar is used in such ambiance, and in such contrast to the other instruments.

Right, this is starting to make more sense. So I'd plug into a 8 OHM input on a extension cab? If so - we have this matter sorted. :p:

And it seems so on the Corey Harris front. I can't wait, he's brilliant.

that video is asking to cause a seizure :haha


I like that really far out fuzzed tone

[TNfootballfan62]

In the amp it says:

Parallel speaker jacks - 40 watts - 4 OHM

Does that mean I could plug into both plugs - as long as the extension cab is 4 OHMs?

AMAZING :eek:

What impedance does your amp run at normally, without the extension jack? 8 ohms? I'm not really sure how to interpret the labeling, but if that's saying that hooking up the extension cab will put it in parallel with your stock speaker, and you need to have 4 ohms total after you've done that, you'd need an 8 ohm extension cab. Like I said, though, I'm not sure exactly how to interpret that. Maybe it's in your manual?

Feedback is actually wanted with that kind of stuff.

I'm planning a rig for that right now.

Basically, there are 4 ways to do that kind of sound. One is to get an old Acoustic (brand name) SS bass amp, turn everything to 10 except for the bass and treble, and then go. You can also get a loud, clean amp, and throw a boost and a fuzz in front of it. Another way is to get a thick british sounding amp, like a Laney AOR, or a Traynor YBA-1, and overdrive it.

My rig plan is a Laney AOR50 and a Sovtek Mig 50, because I like to mix the overdrive with the fuzz.

Octave fuzzes work really well with this kind of stuff, because they tend to be thicker and nastier. Muffs (the metal muff is not a fuzz) fuzzes also do very well.

P90's are the best pu for this application, IMO. PAF style humbuckers also do very well for that sound. Something like an Ibanez AR500 or an SG of some sort would be best, IMO. You could also get something like an Ibanez Jetking, for funziez.

But if you want to run it with your Delta Blues, which you can, just tune whatever guitar you have to drop C, turn the mids to 10, bass and treb to 5, moderate reverb, light break up, loud as you can get it, and hit it with a fuzz. That'll get you 90% of the way there.

The main point is to play it obscenely loud.

If it's like the Supersonic, it's 8 ohms into 1x12.

So with the parallel jack, amp operating at 4 ohms, the extension cab needs to be 8 ohms, right?

yeah, I'd want to do it as budget as possible, I can handle feedback, it's bloody hum I can't stand, the P90's or PAFs would cut that down a lot though, I already hardly use my big muff, I fecking love that pedal with a fiery passion, but my cheap strat is just way to poorly insulated

I want to buy a guitar, I'm just so paranoid of bad quality, I want the best bang for my buck in a guitar you know, what is a reasonably priced and very well put together guitar with p90's/HB's?

if I did start this **** up though, I've actually been trying C standard lately, and I love that tuning, I don't fair well in dropped top string stuff though, I find it quite limiting as far as what I play.

one thing I'd love to try to get that crazy bassy fuzz tone is try something like a micro pog on the sub octave + dry setting and pair that with some heavy fuzz, I get a feeling that tone would be absolutely sick for that type of music

the obscenely loud part I can already handle, my DB is skull implodingly loud with the master volume dimed and my Big muff on top of that :haha

I'd like to eventually invest in an extension cab as well

[ze monsta]

15's go great with stoner metal.

You still have the Octavia? That's also a great stoner fuzz.


There are a bunch of great guitars that would work. Like I said, an Ibanez AR500 is a great fit, as is an Epi SG (I love the G400 Custom.) Edwards is also another thing to look at. Basically any classic rock type guitar, really. A les paul or SG copy would be the best, IMO. I use my Ibanez Artcore, and it handles it like a champ.

C standard is actually what I use the most. That and C#(for playing teh Black Sabbath).


EDIT: It's really easy to switch between the mid-high heavy Black Sabbath type sound and the Acid King/Weedeater bass heavy fuzz sound just by moving from bridge to neck and rolling down the tone knob.


EDIT2: Also, when I say loud, I mean louder than loud. I know the DB is loud as it is, but I dimed my V33 (Same tube compliment) through my 2x12 with Celestions, and it wasn't loud enough, really. Don't underestimate the loudness factor. That's half the point ;)

yup I still have my octavio, I use it a fair bit when I'm in a wanking mood :p:

cool, I've always been wary of epiphones though, I wasn't sure if they lived up to their name, though I have heard the epi SGs are far better than the les pauls

I think if I do get one I'll just throw some 14s or 15s as you said and have that as my dedicated C standard guitar

thanks for helping dude :)


I know loud is important, but I need priorities and a new guitar comes before another amp, if I do get a new amp I'd like a head this time though, a nice solid heavy platform for getting what I want

And use 11-50's for C standard. Light/medium strings have that distinct spongy feel to them when tuned low, which sounds great, IMO.

And I get the amp thing, just :stickpoke ing your GAS ;)

I kind of get what you mean about the sponginess though, I've been dicking around with my 10's in C# standard since this convo started and it's kind've nice actually, though I'd probably step it up to 11's of 12's for dedicated guitar, just to not have them too buttery soft

For sure.

the clip is up now, in hindsight it may be a tad a bit way too bassy but yeah...

[imgooley]

Nice riffage.


Throw a punch bass behind it and you're almost there.

What's your EQ set at?

[Carswell98]

the amp is just sparkly clean by itself, at about 2 on master volume

bass 4

mid 12

treble 10

big muff volume at unity, sustain at 12 o clock, tone all the way back

running the bridge pup

[imgooley]

Sounds about right.

I run my muff into the BC, and my Belcat R-Fuzz into my V33H, both with a bit of breakup, boosted.

Muff settings with everything at 1:00.

It balances out because the BC30 is fairly bright and the V33 is fairly dark.

[imgooley]

btw, posted a nice linky on your comment page ;)

cool, maybe I'll try again later but with the mid boost switch on just to give the whole thing a shot it the arm, I'd do it now but my roommate would probably kill me :haha

and I'm so very jealous of your dual amp setup :mad:

[ze monsta]

Indeed.

[Carswell98]

ok goolz, I made a new clip, the playing is a lot sloppier this time around but I think I have some decent tone going, I turned teh bass up slightly then threw my Bd-2 in front of my Pi to drive it and turned the mid boost on, the hiss and buzz from my strat is pretty intense with that much gain but it's a general idea nonetheless

if you hear some guitar playing very quietly at the beginning it's because my roomy is playing to fleetwood mac in the next room :haha

It sounds more defined now.
