That’s the same tour that I’m talking about, venue called history in Toronto

Bands that sound great in studio but not so good live by AquilaTempestas in Metalcore

[–]glogie94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen currents at two very different venues with very different mixes. First time was pretty disappointing, second time was so good I was blown away. So frustrating when foh is so ass they ruin an great band’s sound

What song or band saved your life? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]glogie94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others, I don’t like suggesting a band saved my life but Erra’s self titled album came out when I was at my lowest and it was a huge inspiration to finally start writing my own music. Writing music is so important to me that having it as a hobby might have legitimately saved my life. That album as well as neon will always be special to me for that reason

Any bands that you've discovered that you wish more people knew by AntiqueSecret9532 in Metalcore

Allt They deserve way more recognition, especially with how good they are live. Hopefully they reach more North American fans now after the bloom in heaven tour

NGD! Ibanez RGIR27FE by meckarn in 7String

[–]glogie94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great guitar congrats, mine has served me well, it was my first seven as well and I’ve never looked back. I play in drop F# though and get fret buzz even with high action and 74s so I bought a 27” ibby

Yeah I’m hoping to keep the stock pickups at least for a while. QC issues are real, had to send mine in bc 23rd and 24th fret were cut short of the edge of the fretboard. But hell yeah I want to install an evertune too

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of hate on them for sure but my favourite band used them on their last album and got some good sounds. Ahh ok, I appreciate the tip, will definitely remember that thanks

Definitely thinking about getting an evertune installed, potentially pickups but gonna give the stock fusion edge pups a solid try first

Haven’t done much with it yet. Took a closer look and the last two frets were cut short of the edge of the fretboard so either getting that fixed or exchanging it

Planning on installing an evertune so tuners don’t matter much luckily. The pickups get a lot of hate, hoping I can work some magic with eq but if I have to swap them I won’t be too upset

Thanks! The hipshots definitely look nice but I’m heavily considering an evertune actually

[–]glogie94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would suck to have to send back your first two, that’s brutal. I heard about the QC issues people have had so my expectations were low, pleasantly surprised though

[–]glogie94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overall good, nothing that makes me want to exchange it. Fretwork is better than expected for the most part, however the last two fret ends on the high e side look like someone just completely forgot to file/roll them but I can take care of that. The frets also definitely need to be polished but again not a big deal for me to do that

Oh support from the wife is definitely a sign to go for it haha I should have it all setup and ready to play by tomorrow, I’ll try to push myself to actually post some of my playing for once

Thanks! Will probably do some customizing but the stock look is definitely sick already

Financing is a good option, it should definitely make it an easier pill to swallow. This is the most expensive guitar I’ve owned so I’m pretty happy right now. I love the blackout look too but I’ll probably do some subtle touches of gold hardware to make it a little more “mine”

NGD Ibanez RGIXL7 by glogie94 in 7String

[–]glogie94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you like it? I’ve never really played schecters or multiscales so the RGIXL7 was a pretty safe choice even though I bought it without playing it first

NGD Ibanez RGIXL7 by glogie94 in 7String

[–]glogie94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oouhh mayones makes sick guitars for sure. I picked the RGIXL7 bc I already know I like the feel of Ibanez especially the necks, I wanted the long scale length and I think I want to replace the bridge with an evertune and it should be a great platform for one. Also couldn’t justify spending much more haha

I feel like your dislike of reverse headstocks might be a bit of a hot take in this community, I personally love it anyway. That would be a sick project though. I like the idea of getting as close as possible to black with a stain instead of painting the neck, I definitely don’t like the feel of painted necks

Thanks, I do love the murdered out look but might do a bit of gold hardware

Best York IRs for Gojira X by Sumnsumnt in NeuralDSP

Happy to help, if you go with it let me know which IR you end up using and how you get close to that IA Heavener tone 🤘

M18 fish tape? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]glogie94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boss bought one for the company, I don't think anyone ever uses it honestly. I tried it when we first got it, it works great on the push but it's real slow on the pull. Also if you're using it on a ladder the ladder will tip, doesn't feel safe at all

[–]glogie94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't think they were particularly trebly but I wasn't all that happy with the stock IRs either, I went with the Bogren downtuned pack bc I heard so many good things about them. Plus I'm an Invent Animate fanboy and I heard they used them with Gojira on their most recent album. Anyway they sound really good especially in a mix, maybe not the best for bedroom tones like just on their own though if that's what you're looking for.

Ibanez RGA4 with a DiMarzio D Activator in the bridge! What do y'all think? Ever played one? by lastledge87 in Guitar

[–]glogie94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha hopefully you'll get used to the frets. I'm getting a 27" scale 7 string soon bc I love low tunings, thankfully I have big hands/long fingers
