nerd herd Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Seems like a strat was used for it going by the making of. Wonder if it's the same one that was used on the psycho tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Those feels And how did you manage that? Must have been great to watch the soundcheck I collated and got printed some books to give to them with a load of fan stories and thanks from a fan group on facebook... made one for Neil too and gave it to him on the second night and he said not to give them to the rest of the guys until the next day. Got a call a couple of hours before doors and was told to meet someone at the side entrance and was put in a cupboard for about 20 minutes until Neil came and found me At least I have a better chance of them remembering me for next time. Oh the amount of situations that could apply to On another note... does anyone know how to deal with a string that is seemingly perfectly intonated on every note except for an open string which is significantly flat? I'm currently stuck tuning down half a step and putting a capo on the first fret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Maybe the nut is busted? It doesn't seem it, I gave it a good clean out and checked for burrs and that and it looked ok... I recently changed string guages to a slightly higher guage... Think it'd be worth widening the slot slightly? I'm just a little hesitant to make any permanent changes unless I have to.

james90 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) also, thoughts on this? Personally I don't think it sounds that good...especially for $3200 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b2XVoymsaY Edited October 9, 2015 by james90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbias12 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Is it mandatory to have a separate amp if you have the piezo pickup saddles installed? And can you plug in the guitar normally and just play the magnetic pickups just as if the piezo isn't installed? Or does there have to be a bypass option (via switch, pedal, or just turning the piezo volume all the way down)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it matters most with distorted sounds though - for example, if you want a clean piezo and distorted sound at the same time, it would probably be best to use two amps. Not sure about the second question. I imagine you just turn the piezo volume all the way down. edit: Ouch Edited October 10, 2015 by james90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Wow, that Astoria sounds like a cheap el84 combo. Guess it might be better in person but first impressions are not great. Doesn't sound as good as the dsl15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound as good as the dsl15 That was one of the better demos of it, but it has that same sort of sound in every one I've heard. It's sort of like... I don't know. Too much bass or something? Like if you have one of the old Marshalls cranked up with the bass on 10, but even more of that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 "only 6.5k" I won't be buying it as that guy has only 45 posts - too risky (plus I just put those other guitars on order) The reissued COA sort of bothers me too. And I don't think they usually go for $8-12k? I thought his price is around what they usually go for... I'm a Muse fanboi, I know this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
