one of my favorites in their catalogue is the “From The Basement” sessions they recorded. drummer is a metronome and the bass is bang on with cadence and tone. Radiohead is such a good band for their sound, their lyrics and their ability to perform a wide range of music within the “rock” genre, even though albums like Kid A were more electronica-sounding…
with Jonny G fading in/out of timing with his random eclectic fills on a heavily-synth’d Fender, it’s such a warm ghostly sound…
Some do I think but being honest I think it varies and from one to another. Some you see with a big bank of amps behind them and they say’re playing through a Marshall 50w or whatever.
Any of you guys seen some of the virtual stuff that was done over covid when all the musicians were in lockdown? I cannot find any of the shows that I’d seen last year but a quick search found awesomeness like this
I started with an Ibanez Electro Acoustic, think then it was an AES (2008) with pearl inlays and gloss black finish. Loved it, lasted about 3 years, before realising I needed solid wood… If thats the one you love then get it, they are well good enough quality. Ibanez is a major brand now, they make desirable guitars of good Q.
I used to have an Ibanez Talman electric/acoustic which I loved, but didn’t use enough so I sold it. I also used to have an Ibanez RG570 which also was a quality electric guitar.
Blackstar HT-5R, B8 M4 T7, ISF knob (Blackstar proprietary feature, I think) set to fully emulate British sound. Depending on what I’m trying to learn, I usually run my guitar into it through Ibanez TS9DX (mainly on “+” setting) and TC Electronic Magus Pro (a very versatile and cheap RAT clone that I took the punt on and I now can’t put it down). I get gain from the amp itself and add a tiny bit of it from pedals because I’m like that and my friends think I’m a peasant because of it - but that’s the sound that I love!
Im laughing because thats what all kids think, but sounds like you got it down. I remember you getting that Blackstar how long ago is that? I assume its good, its the best low output tube amp. I have a few TC pedals, a great company, masters of delay I think, along with Boss.
I just cut all the bass out my Jazz Chorus, and lifted the mids, sounds better for home. Im told bass is the real killer Q to watch it can mud everything, especially at home in small rooms.
It’s been two years since I got it - it had only one tube and 5W of power, so I thought “great, that should be quiet but gritty enough for playing in a small room” - you can see just how ignorant I was/am. That little thing is loud!
I bought TC’s Polytune 3 Noir tuner, by the way, because a friend used it and it turned out to be great. I don’t use a delay simply because I think that only people who can actually play solos use it but I’ve heard only the best about their Flashback models!
Hi Guitar Gurus.
I have an issue with my Fender after changing the strings.
The Guitar normally has 9s on but the shop only had 10s so I put them on.
I immediately took them off because I didnt like them (odd as I have 10s on my Ibanez and Harley Benton) and also the bridge was sticking out about 2 inches.
I put 9s back on but the trouble I have now is the bottom 2 strings dont fret at near the headstock and the top 2 strings seem too lose as not tuned properly.
Any ideas how to sort this?
Thanks
I’ve never had a Fender but I’m assuming, from what you said, that your model has some kind of a tremolo system (as it’s not a fixed bridge) ? Can you post a pic of the issues?
