  • In Moving to bass
    Wow, thanks for the links and tips guys! Makes me very sad that I don't have the bass in my hands yet haha, can't wait to get my groove on
    • In Moving to bass
      I mostly want my bass playing to be what my guitar playing isn't: groovy, simple and most of all fun to play. Bands like Tool, Tesseract, RHCP and the Beatles are what I have in mind
      • In Moving to bass
        I haven't been feeling guitar for a while now and everything I do seems forced so I got the brilliant idea: Get a bass. It benefits me with my current and future recordings not having midi bass haha. Now, anything a guitarist should know when switching to bass as a main instrument?
        • In ME20 blew
          As the title says, my Boss ME20 just blew (eskom amirite?) and I was wondering which places could fix it, im close to cape town
          • In Cort Double Locking 2 & 3
            Does anyone have experience with these bridges? Are they any good or are they more of a hassle? I'm planning on getting another guitar (end of the year but hey, research starts early) and i'm looking at mainly Corts now due to price constraints, mainly the EVL series and the KX5. Of course when i get to Paul Bothners i'll check out some other brands but im rambling at this point. Pros and cons of the Cort Double locking bridges
            • In What key is this?
              I wrote a song in Cminor but there is one section where the progression is only Cminor and Eb minor. I'm not well versed in theory but i want to write a solo over this section. From what i've checked in the key of cminor the chord should be eb major but i like the sound of the minor in that section.
              EDIT: i've changed the progression slightly to Cm,Ebm,Cm add9,Ebm add9

                  I'm learning Needled 24/7 by COB and i cant get anywhere with the intro solo for the past few weeks now. Anyone willing to check out a video of me playing it and checking what i may be doing wrong?

                    High/low passes are just EQ roll offs on each end of the spectrum, so for instance on guitars I'd high pass (As in have an EQ that rolls of low end) at around anywhere from 90Hz - 120Hz. This means that you won't really hear guitars occupying these frequency bands, which gives more space for the bass and kick, for very fast riffs or riffs that have a lot of notes in general that you want to have be tighter but still retain punch it's a good way to go ?
                    I'll try to add that to my next song, thanks for the help guys ?

                      I'd also recommend a high pass to unclutter your guitar from sitting so much in the bass and kick's spectrum.

                      And if you haven't then definitely double track that shit, double tracking sounds better for riffs literally 100% of the time.
                      I've double tracked most of the songs on Reverbnation and i'm not all that sure whatt high pass/low pass does and how to to set my eq to do that(my DAW is fl studio)

                      I only use amp sims. I've got Guitar Rig 5, Amplitube 3 and EZMix 2 but I only use EZMix 2 and GR when I record.

                        Yeah I know my playing isn't the cleanest around. I'm working on getting my chops up and then rerecord some of the sections I had difficulty with. I'll use a different tone on my next recording and hopefully it sounds better. Thanks for the tips

                        • In Weird sound from high strings
                          guidothepimmp : pictures of what specifically? and I stay in the Eersteriver Area

                          Alan Ratcliffe : I googled wolf tone and it definitely sounds like that

                          Josh Hayes : I'll get some cotton tomorrow

                          It only happens on the high e and b strings which is a real annoyance when improvising
                          • In Weird sound from high strings
                            I have this weird sound on my high e and b strings, here's a link of me playing open high e,17 on high e,open b,17 on b and open g then 17 on g http://www.hyperfileshare.com/d/36386d32 . I can't figure out what's wrong and it sounds horrible
