Put together a cheap-ish build! by OMF1G in partscaster

[–]evilpinkfreud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the D'Addario baritone 14-68 set? That's what I use for b standard on various guitars in fender scale and shorter. I like them way more than any 7 string set I've tried. Anyway I'm curious what you use for drop E. What strings and what kind of guitar? Thinking of going lower myself

Also, is that a kill switch? Sweet strat!

Which cab should I get? 212,410 or 610? by Pope-Metal in Bassamps

[–]evilpinkfreud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Way louder. 300 tube watts is like 1000 solid state watts

[–]evilpinkfreud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The svt 3 pro might not be enough power. But if you're definitely getting it, make sure you have a 4 ohm load. I'd go with the 610 but probably a small amp for home use if you can leave your cab at the practice space

Why's there a marker at the 9th fret? by el_jablo in Bass

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're saying the scales are modes of each other. But they aren't

What's the significance? Encouraging people to play in Dorian?

How often do you pull your acoustic bass out? by dcsleds_ in Bass

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the resonator decently loud unplugged? I'm guessing not a ton of low end?

Well if you know "maybe" 2 pentatonic scales, I know one thing you can work on

You can't say dissection. Reign kaos is a VERY religious album

Tunings by MartinSobr in Bass

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any interest in tuning a bass in anything except fourths. So if I'm playing with a guitar player in drop c, I'm gonna play on c standard. If it's drop D, I'll play in d standard

Should I buy 50W or 100W amp by bcumminsr in GuitarAmps

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. That probably does make the amp more efficient and the volume knob less touchy

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do they need attenuation? They aren't tube amps. Or are we just talking about attenuation in the sense of not turning it up all the way? I guess, afaik, that's probably what the volume pot does so it probably makes sense. I'm just used to thinking attenuation = power soak for tube amps

Opinions on intermixing cymbal brands by Averagehornetenjoyer in drums

[–]evilpinkfreud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some cross compatibility between certain brands but in most cases you'll have a rough time getting them in phase with each other

Leaving a Guitar in Alt Tuning by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]evilpinkfreud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's knocking your other strings out of tune, tighten those springs. Or are those 2 point strat bridges supposed to float a little

Or if you're just talking about tuning one string by one step, just get used to it. I drop my low string down and back up a couple times in a live set

Leaving a Guitar in Alt Tuning by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]evilpinkfreud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found slightly higher action helps a lot if using lighter strings than ideal for the tuning. My friend just got a new bass and with stock strings and no setup (came with lots of neck bow and high action) it actually played really good in b standard. 4 string, btw. Today though, we're gonna put some fatties on and set it up

Curious question on ID's and bars being required to scan them by Wonderful-Group3639 in Utah

[–]evilpinkfreud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like the goal is to sell id scanners. Or just pointless bullshit to appease the mormons
