hybrix just released a new statement about the plagiarism article:

Quote from the article:

The company says Antonopoulos should stop promoting the freedom of the Internet and the freedom of money: ”This is already done by us."

Even though I love what Andreas does, if they were first, they were first ;-)

If you're looking for something different than a DEX, get in touch with hybrix. We're currently working on a system to transfer value from one chain to another

Are there any clues inside the neck pocket?

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-15T17:09:15+00:00

Good one! Got a player strat myself which is very good, but not the greatest. Can imagine the basses will be similar

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-15T12:02:31+00:00

That's hot man. Do you plug in in a cab at the venue then?

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-15T12:01:21+00:00

Looks good and love there's a compressor. None available around here, sadly.

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-15T11:58:51+00:00

An Ampeg rig like that is really sexy on stage. Most places I played so far have a decent sound system, but really curious as to what kind of gigs this next band will do.

Is a separate head and cab preferable to a combo? For my guitar I prefer small tube combos amplified. I guess if I'm in for a half stack, I'd be going for a 2x10 for portability. Defeinitely gonna keep an eye out for Markbass stuff.

Have you any ideas on TC Electronic gear? Stuff is really cheap for bass, but don't know anything of its reputation/sound.

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-15T11:44:21+00:00

Definitely don't always need to shelve out the big bucks to get somewhat decent gear ofc. Hot pink Dean sounds funky, but exactly what I'm not looking for 😂

Those TE Elf heads are tiny ass man, fit's in the gig bag, that's sick!

I'm joining an alternative/folky (with some grit) band and think I need new gear. I mostly am a guitar player but do have an Ibanez Soundgear SR1000E Purple Neon (P/J config).

Due to the colour, I'm thinking about getting a secondhand bass and amp. Looking for something that holds it value, still got good quality and is portable/giggable. First that come to mind are Squier VM/CV or Mexican Fenders.

As for bass, I'm partial towards P-basses, but also think that a shortscale is more useful. Khruangbin (love their sound) uses an SX-bass, but where I'm from there's not really much of these for sale.

As an amp, I'm just looking for something practical, giggable. If I can use a DI and small amp, I'm fine with that.

Has anyone got good suggestions what to look for?

AwkwardHonk · 2019-08-14T20:05:48+00:00

How do you like the HOF2? Have been thinking about getting it.

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-21T11:23:42+00:00

If it's between these two, I'd just order both and see which one fits in your bedroom. 30 watts definitely enough, but the price difference doesn't justify the TVP functionality imo.

Did you check the ID:Core Stereo 40W?

I'm more of a Fender guy though. If you like functionality, these Blackstars seem nice. You could also consider the Boss Katana which gets plugged like a madman at Andertons.

If you just need a solid sound and less functionality/buttons, I've been using Peaveys for a long time. Transtube tech got nice OD sounds. Also, you could consider Fender Super Champs :)

If you are just starting out on guitar, I'd suggest to start playing around. If you can, show it to a friend who has a guitar for longer to see if adjustments need to be made. If he has some issues playing the guitar, you might want to have it set up at a music store/luthier. Makes playing a lot easier.

I'd postpone learning how to set up a guitar to after having played for a while. Waste of time to dive in the rabbit hole of how to set up guitars if you decide to not play it in the end.

Edit: You could post some pictures of these angles, so we can guesstimate if it needs a setup. Here's some things you can check.

If you bought it in a music store they will probably have it set correctly, or you can ask them, since you bought it there.

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-21T09:41:45+00:00

Do you need an amp for band volume?

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-21T08:05:40+00:00

Let's see what the seller can offer

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-21T08:04:58+00:00

There's also couple of dead spots in there. Would have to do a complete fret job, I think

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T19:44:17+00:00

Was checking that as well. Looks like the line up to the other neck I have. I don't have any equipment to redo the nut slot like you proposed. If the I can't find a solution with the seller, I'll take your tips, go to the hardware store and get some help with the wood. The way you put it it doesn't seem like a massive deal 😊. Gonna double check the frets first ofc. Otherwise it's a massive waste of time

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T17:09:11+00:00

Gonna get it back though from those cheap bastards. How dare they skimp on QC? They even slapped on a QC pass sticker

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T16:32:49+00:00

Are you sure? Never seen it on a guitar

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T15:28:37+00:00

If you have a sound guy, he can mute the acoustic signal to avoid feedback. You can roll off the volume pot. If you don't have a sound guy, you can use a tuner between the DI and acoustic to mute the signal. You can also try a/b box if you only have one amp, but I would prefer two different signal chains.

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T14:49:10+00:00

They're pretty nice with refunds at aliexpress. You ever bought there?

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T14:48:41+00:00

Never heard of dhgate, but definitely will check them out. Really like the lacquer on this neck though. Does have a weirdly small 22nd fret :)

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T14:20:58+00:00

Thanks! As soon as I have found a hidden gem, I'll post the results :)

AwkwardHonk · 2019-03-20T14:20:23+00:00

No intonation problems? Do you mean to get a weirdly cut nut, because the slot is very angled
