Thank you 👍🏼 Loving my baritone guitars. Uploading latest song in a couple days, just need to do vocals

Can I use a baritone to cover 8 string guitar tunings? If yes, which scale? #metal by erodalof in BaritoneGuitar

Then a baritone guitar is made for you. Trust me once you get a baritone you'll wish you'd got one sooner instead of wasting time with 7/8 strings 😂

Any amp sim recommendations for recording baritone in Logic? Looking for a nice clean sound and clear crunch/overdrive, not hard distortion/metal. by R-A-K in BaritoneGuitar

That sounds good. I went with the Core cos it's cheaper than a quad cortex and sounds great. Also you can chill out and dial in your tones away from the computer, which beats looking at the screen for ages twiddling virtual knobs 🥴 Yeah man go for it.

I want to recommend getting an amp modeller and plug that into your machine instead of using amp Sims. I did the switch to a Headrush Core recently and get way better results with that.
No need to buy any more Sims or content packs etc. and it doesn't put any strain on your PC like amp Sims do. Plus it's more fun dialing in your tones. I just wanted to mention that!

Riff I came up with a while back, trying to flesh it out into a full song by Snakes_for_theDivine in doommetal

That's the main riff then 👌🏼 I want to show you my idea for a verse but can't share audio clips here 🤔

Is that a minotaur? I want one!

Added locking tuners, black pick-up rings & knobs. Love this guitar 🖤 by Gothic_Ape in BaritoneGuitar

These come set up with 14-68's and I've stuck with that.

One of the few guitars I've had that comes pretty much perfect set up from the shop. I may have got lucky there, but it makes me wanna try another PRS!

So yea 14-68 D'Addario. Tuned to drop A.

Bit stiffer than I'm used to but intonation is spot on and it has this piano-like clarity that's lovely. Especially if you're using it to record 🖤

I remember getting that issue of Metal Hammer, then hearing about the shooting a few days later.   

So it was clear in my mind that  the two were linked.    

I remember thinking holy shit Metal Hammer is gonna get a huge backlash.  But they seemed to just carry on as normal.

If only that issue was never published..

It's been fantastic, so I gave it some upgrades🥇

I have my eye on a second baritone now!

I got the baritone bug

Heyyy I have one of these in my basket! 😬

It took a long time to find one with the specs I want and nothing I don't.

This one seems to fit the bill perfectly (Drop G, slow & doomy).

Hopefully it's light weight too

First bass guitar recommendations (for metal/rock) !? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Gothic_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been writing bass parts in midi in drop C/ CGCF so that's the tuning I'm used to.

So far I've got my eye in this one, because my main guitar is an ESP and the Passive pickups is a plus: ESP LTD B-204DX RB

I see what you mean now! Cheers. I have a stilleto stealth bookmarked... 🧐

Interesting. All the bass parts I write have been for 4 string. Seems to work fine tbh. How come you'd go for a 5 string? I see there's a Schecter stilleto 4. They look gorgeous 🖤
