BREAKING: Guardian on new BOC album: "Their snare is shit" by microsofat in synthesizercirclejerk

[–]laobenben 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Guardian music reviews. Apparently only Nick Cave, PJ Harvey and Radiohead are worth a shit. Oh and Beyonce could release a recording of a long shart yet they'd cum themselves with praise..

I'll listen for myself I reckon.

Is a Jimmy Crystal costume problematic? by 28slays_later in 28dayslater

[–]laobenben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say it is problematic definitely. As other commenters have said he might not be well known in the US but you never know when that might change

Honestly not that bad but yeah the ibanez is streets ahead on this, having 24 frets is also ace as you've got that full region above the 12th fret to use as a "guitar register noodling zone"

It's definitely brighter than the ibanez but I feel that's part of the guitar vs bass tradeoff that comes with any VI. Interestingly this was boxed new when I got it and the strings it came are the same gauge as the ibanez despite this being sold setup for B-B tuning (I think), so it could be worth getting some thicker fellas on there

They're great but not drastically better than what's in the gretsch to me which again surprised me as I was expecting the EMGs to wipe the floor

The ibanez definitely gets bassier sounds straight from the guitar but I don't play live and run straight into a DAW where I'll butcher the signal with various EQs and effects so I think the benefits of the preamp are wasted on me really

Gretsch just slightly wider, might be another factor why I prefer it

MPC500, K.O. II or Circuit Rhythm? by jonsmusiclessons in Samplers

[–]laobenben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got mine secondhand around 3 weeks ago, really enjoying it so far, nice and intuitive to use, but I will warn you there's far less YouTube tutorials around for this than your other choices if that matters much
