Knock 'em dead Spawn.

I love this venue because they don’t tell you to turn down, and the sound here is phenomenal

 

[spawnofthesith]

May bassist 2.5hr late to sound check tho

I put my 7-string in Drop-A the other night and started dickin' around with some riffs I'm assembling into a tune, I can definitely see the appeal of this tuning with a nice Mesa rippin' behind me.

Yup. The incessant shitbagging becomes self-defeating and unproductive in a real world setting.
Dealing with those kinds of people just feels like a chronic and never-ending series of dead ends.


I am not sure anyone's tastes or skills are even worthy of assuming their proper place on the Shitbbagers
Throne. That shall not deter us, though. We be people.




I will add that my actual experience is that the most persistent shitbaggers and constant critics also seem
to actually end up doing the least. Makes sense, since they have all of these self-imposed obstacles they
can't get past.

EDIT: I wrote some dumb shit before morning coffee. Deleted.

Haha! Never Internet first thing in the morning before Cofeve.

Little lunch time projects can be fun!

Today, I added a mini-toggle to my soloist to switch between 9v and 24v (off in the middle).

Wasn't as easy as expected! I wanted it in between vol and tone but that part isn't routed out enough , soooo out comes the Dremel w/routing bit!

Nice to be able to switch, it's a pretty substantial change going from 9 to 24V - I've only had 18V before and it wasn't switchable, now you can clearly hear the difference - with 24V definitely much less compressed. I think I'd have been fine with just a two position toggle, the middle position is pretty worthless and has a bit of a delay before it kicks in.

@la szum - in addition to the coupon I have a nice 24V Mod sticker for you next time you're in the neighborhood!

Awesome. I don't think there is much, if any, difference between 18v and 24v. The selling point of 24v is higher voltage (as well as what that entails) plus being slightly smaller than a single 9v battery.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect there is - but I'm also not going to try to find out . I had figured that this switch was internal to the pair of 12v batteries but I actually had to use a separate 9v, in addition to those . Plenty of room in the back cavity so no big deal.

I have just the 24v pack in one guitar as I had no interest in 9v. You could just setup a wiring harness with three battery clips and switch between 24v and 18v to test it. I have an ES-918, and never set it to 9v. I like the extra headroom and less compression.

I know, but this guitar needed a mini-toggle - it was screaming for it .

Really just like the ability to instantly switch back and forth, Thrashy stuff is really primo at 9v, too.

Tried to remember the DT Take The Time outro solo, got most of it-ish

Crappy iPhone video:

 

[gearJunkie]

Having a blast playing the Mark VII through a Creamback loaded Park 2x12 and my Mojotone Greenback & Gold 4x10.

Using the Weber Z-Matcher to convert the Park cab to 16 ohms to run in parallel with the Mojotone for a combined 8 ohms.

It sounds and feels absolutely massive.

 

[Axe]

I put a new block in to this one along with a fret polish and fretboard cleaning

 

[TJontheRoad]

Placed my new Ampeg PF-50T in my amp rack on a pull out shelf. This so I can reach the power and standby on/off switches in the back. Put new Rotosounds on my MIM Jazz Bass. Made the room rumble and shake for a couple hours there after.

 

[gearJunkie]

Updated Axe FX III to fw 25.01 and then used Axe Edit to reset the amp blocks in all of my patches. So far so good.

While I’m on vacation this week I only had one playing goal, to finish learning “Cliffs Of Dover”, which I’m still going to do, but I had a couple ideas pop into my head this morning when I started to work on it. There’s a ton of solos and songs that when I was starting out I’d say to myself “When I grow up I wanna be able to play ________” and lately I’ve been having more fun getting nostalgic with stuff like that than I have been writing/recording, so I think I’m going to make a video series out of it. It can be summed up as “Guy who stopped caring about technical guitar playing 20 years ago decides he wants to learn some technical guitar songs” and I mostly want to document the challenges I have in the process and how I get past them.

”Cliffs” is going to be a work in progress, I need more instant gratification to keep me focused on this so I picked a solo I’ve wanted to learn for decades and have attempted a couple times but gave up almost instantly because I could never get the feel of it, but today I broke past the hurdle point I always gave up at and that’s all I needed. Going in chunks, but when I edit the videos together later on it’ll show how I tackle this stuff then fuck it up relentlessly until I happen to land on it right.

Uncle Ben gave it shot. The intro reminded me of your video.
