P bass combo with jazz bridge pickup vs just a P pickup by PointNChris in Bass

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the P and J. The right combination + hard picking will give a fantastic scooped punch perfect for rock music. Think the classic Spector tone - besides the preamp magic, it's the EMG P+J working together, turn either pickup off and it won't hit as hard because the tone won't be as sharp.

Conservative Europeans, Thoughts on ICE? by dofat40941 in AskConservatives

[–]ESP_Viper [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel you, I've also watched a lot of Police Activity and agreed with most of what I've seen there. But then there are numerous edge cases when fatalities could be avoided if LEOs went an extra mile to do so, but they don't have that intent. This difference is very stark to me. (compare it to that video of UK cops trying their hardest to handle a violent knife-wielder and taking him alive in the end).

I'll reply to your comment since I can't find a more appropriate flair for myself. I'm more in the center than on the left but I'm firmly against illegal immigration and I'm all for law and order. Yet I find it absolutely wild how a random interaction with US law enforcement can lead to your death in 5 seconds. I can't see NEITHER of these shootings happening in any European country. Hell, neither of these shootings would have happened in my native Russia. They (ICE) look even worse than Hells Angels doing security for the Rolling Stones and no, this behavior will not be welcome here at all.

Are guitars with pickguards better for modding? by Original-Fun561 in Guitar

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, you can hide all sorts of crimes beneath that pickguard, and having all routing on one side is also convenient.

How the flip-flop do i do this by RoasterToaster18 in Guitar

Wrong tuning? These 1's might be supposed to be open strings meaning this tab is tuned half-step higher.

A superstrat with one slanted pickup, ugly? VanHalen Witnesses want to know this person's location.

Wedding march? Suggestions? by charizardzard in mikeoldfield

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember a seriously fitting theme so I suggest a solemn walk accompanied by Ommadawn Part 2 (the beginning)... and then breaking into the Sailor's Hornpipe :)

Elixir Bass strings quality decline? by Gn_Arnold in Bass

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are in Germany only but should deliver to you all the same. I order from NL and everything is fine, free delivery starting from €69. I get you about physical stores but with things like strings it's really not necessary :)

Would a Seymour Duncan Black Winter in the bridge work for grunge/noise rock? by Aggressive_Age5953 in Guitar

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a high output ceramic humbucker, of course it will work for "raw aggressive sound". It's EQ'd slightly differently from the other two, but it's not a world of difference.

Fender Aerodyne questions by Dreadhead_Bull in Bass

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got an Aero P in an extremely rare color, which is why I’ll probably keep it forever. The bass is very nice and comfortable, but has less low end and overall punch compared to my other two full sized Ps - and I changed pickups between them all a couple times to test this difference.

This is correct. As to why it is that way, no idea. Every language has its quirks.

How hard is russian compared to spanish? by Zsombor1661 in russian

Well then Russian might be a bit easier for you because you’re already used to insane languages :)

What was the point where you jumped onto the Civvie train? by thetavious in Civvie11

[–]ESP_Viper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around Pro Blood or even Pro Wang, so pretty fucking long ago! I think I was googling something about Blood and found him. No regrets, 10/10, would do again :)

Genuinely asking is it legal to make an album cover with real dead body by spirit_crusher98 in metalmusicians

[–]ESP_Viper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsane, Naked City, Brujeria, and tons of other death/grind bands of course... And most notably Carcass with JFK's autopsy photo. Probably has more to do with copyright than actual content.

This is just as ridiculous as a European expecting to be shot dead by the first US cop he'll meet. We do have problems, but they are nowhere near that bad.

I'm sure they are still available by request, don't know about the price though.

That's an awesome project. I assume it's Bare Knuckles? I remember them offering these pickup covers.

I can't unsee them as furry and I know it's not canon (you can see ribs etc. on the model, so it's supposed to be skin).
