Cider Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks guys. I'll get the stand then. And that video of Matt's stand falling hurts my heart :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 "Inside" inside, or inside the back, because one of those things is stupid, the other potentially a Darwin award nomination. Inside inside. But it's not that I was poking around in there for no reason. I needed to change one of the internal fuses, and somehow managed to touch something else in the process...plus I only really know how to drain the caps in a plexi type amp. This was a JCM 900, so it's super complicated. Also, just about one week to go... and two weeks until I meet the mythical Jaicen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Anyone bought hardware from Warmoth before? I need to replace the tuners on the Gretsch G2220. Warmoth seems to carry the cheapest Gotoh bass tuners that I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I have several times. Why do you need to replace them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I have several times. Why do you need to replace them? They feel really loose when I turn them and don't hold tune well at all. I barely have to retune the AJB (which has gotoh tuners), but I have to constantly with the Grestch even in standard tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APP4acYOKaw Looks like he put a gretsch mini humbucker in that. Guess it's important to his sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish Fender would release Mike's signature bass one of these days. I quite like the Gretsch mini humbucker sound on the G2220. [YT] [/YT] I didn't realize Mike used Marshall amps in his rig. Their live sound changes quite a lot right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I don't think that's his. Nothing is plugged into it either. Looks like he's using the fender hot rods that he was using early on, but those bass amps probably belong to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Ugh James, That was such a good time, I need it again. Yeah, at times I still have that feeling of withdrawal #fanboi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI0bhxFLibU Lil Wayne might be interested in that If I buy one of those modified DS-1s, will I sound like him?

Man, I'm embarrassed Does the orange on his new Jaguar (/ Jazzmaster?) bass have a name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looks vile whatever it is. Had to buy some new valves for my amp, and bought the Bugera labeled ones because they were half the price of the other available brand. I realize they're exactly the same as the other ones, but... it's like comparing craft beer to something inferior... the amp will still catch on fire with these, regardless of what kind of beer spills on it.

Cider Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Went to Guitar Center earlier and played with this really nice Strat http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/Limited-Edition-American-Professional-Stratocaster-Ebony-Fingerboard.gc I don't know what a "deep C" neck is but it feels really nice. I've never seen an ebony fretboard before, but the rescued ebony looks pretty good - dark with light yellow grain. Didn't like the pickups though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Well, I really like the Toan on that vid, and the control options are great. Except, that it always sounds like the same fundamental tone, just slight variations. Sort of sounds like an 18 watt (EL*4's?). With that level of control, it would have been nice to have more than one voicing, even if the one voice is pretty damn sweet. EDIT: Bullseye James.

bridge Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Saw Biffy last night. They were on point. Pretty small crowd.. maybe 200. It was a Pittsburgh Penguins game 7 last night, so that probably didn't help attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 that moment when you're playing time is running out at glastonbury 2004, and you manage to partially rip the nail off your thumb because you didn't cut the excess string off the machine heads well enough. That's two injuries this week. I have to be more careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
