My band's recordings' bit rates are too low for NG.

But you can check them out on our myspace: Visigoth

Be prepared for low quality recordings from a tape recorder. that recorded Death Metal/Black Metal/Grindcore.

Any good stuff out there? I want a crunching, heavy, yet audible tone.

Well, Metal Zone, Metal Core, Turbo Distortion, (all by BOSS) sound pretty good, and aren't terribly expensive.

But instead of distortion, get a fuckin' Tube Screamer or an Overdrive Pedal. Such delicious tone with those.

Boss MT2, great tone and affordable price. Here comes the disagreements.

Also, Marshalls are overpriced.

Oh fuck you're right >_< how did I not recognize his bends.. I must of been talking on MSN or something at the time. And Marshalls are fairly priced for their quality.

Not quite because if it were pointing right, it would make it a lesser than sign, which in this case is most definatly false.

Lol, this is stupid. We're arguing about greater and lesser signs.

In other news. I have to do a essay, so no guitar playing for me tonight and possibly tomorrow.

Hey guys, I have a question.

I've written a few songs here and there, mostly power metal and one or two hard rock/heavy metal fusion. My point is, what do you guys (if any of you do) use to record?

In other news, no guitar playing for me until 8 when I get back from Ju-Jitsu. This is a bummer because I have no homework.

I use a pedal and line-in, And Audacity.
You can get those pedals somewhere, But they can be expensive if they are as über as mine.

Audacity you can get anywhere, And It's free.
You could always also get one of those pieces inbetween where you put the guitar chord in, And it's mini jack or whatever, And Put that in the mic thing on your PC.

Here's my pedal.

So you are basically saying that BOSS pedals are always the way to go?

That's the sum of it. But I'm sure there are other companies that make equally as good or even better pedals. Ask your local Guitar store owner of what would be best for you.

Mostly. Digitechs are good, but not that great. BOSS makes some great pedals.

At 10/4/07 12:29 PM, Goatchrist wrote: So you are basically saying that BOSS pedals are always the way to go?

It depends on the sort of pedal you want, and since you want distortion, BOSS is the best in the business at mass-market ones that actually work.

I've heard good things about the Ibanez Tubescreamer.

At 10/4/07 06:42 PM, Nev wrote: I've heard good things about the Ibanez Tubescreamer.

It's a classic pedal. I mean so many people had and still have one in their arsenal. It is the only pedal that Santana used in his hey-day and SRV swore by it, to name a few who used the little green box.

This guitar is major secks.

Two Words. Holy fucking shit. The shape actually looks good. Too bad there is only one pick-up, even though I mostly play on lead.. having two pick-ups looks nice.

No, any guitar that is the illigitimate bastard child of an SG an Explorer and a Warrior all at the same time, does not constitute major secks.

Well, actually it is major secks, just not in a good way.
Also, I'd like to see a guitar with the neck pickup only.

Hot. I would love to know the retail, I can't find the price anywhere.

Guitar with the Neck-Pickup only.

I took time out of my essay writing just to Photoshop this for you, haha. I was curious to see myself, actually.

If I'm correct. You can only get it if you custom order it so it's going to cost you at the minimum around 3000$.

Is that the template for your guitar that your building cause if so, you don't want to have the neck bit on it as to have a chance to get the neck pocket right, as Strats have a bolt-on neck construction. Unless you are making a set neck or neck through, which take real practice and precision and I wouldn't recommend making unless you are building a serious piece of guitar.

The actual body templates for Strats linger at guitar making sites all over the net, I recommend looking at them.

Yeah, it is.

I tried explaining this to my dad, when i first drew the stencil i only did the body and thats it. Then he came out, screaming at me etc, telling me to do the whole thing.

Nope, it's going to be bolt on just like the Strat.

I have looked for guitar templates, but that requires getting em sent down from wherever they are, taking time and money...

I don't think i went to bad using the jigsaw anyway, it come out ok. Im going to try again to explain to my dad why i didn't need to add the neck and only needed the body.

1. Ibanez Acoustic steel string!
2. Muse
3. 2 years now.

It looks like an Iceman.

I mean a LOT like an Iceman.

Only similarity is that they have the same part 1 and if you were to... cut off part two on the Jackson and place it where the Iceman has it.. then that part would be another similarity but that's about it..
Difference:
-Iceman has gay Inlays, Jackson doesn't
-Iceman has an ugly head stock, Jackson doesn't
-Iceman has two pick-ups, Jackson has one
-Iceman has a fixed bridge, , Jackson doesn't
-Iceman has four knobs, , Jackson has one
-Iceman has 24.5 frets, Jackson has 25.5
-And the most obvious one, their different colour ;_;
