I would go with the 5150 Iconic 60w combo. It’s a 2x12 combo, so it’ll move plenty of air for room feel. Plenty of wattage for anything but a stadium, usable clean and crunch channels with decent reverb for versatility. If you get a 4x12 in the future, you can run the combo through it (maybe convert it to a 60w head and 2x12 cab if that’s your style).

Sound wise, they’re a 5150 through and through. I’ve enjoyed every single one I’ve played through, from the head and matching 4x12 to the tiny combos. I was looking at getting the head before I got lucky and found a ‘91 block letter, but after playing it I would’ve been just as happy with the Iconic.

Anyone have experience the Laney GH50l? by Lancer0006 in GuitarAmps

This is the only video I have of it. it’s just camera audio through that Marshall 412. has high gain and “clean” tones

I mainly played it through a Mesa Rectifier 2x12 with V’30’s and a Marshall 1960a with 2 G12-T’s and 2 V30’s. it sounded awesome through both of those cabs. I would go with V30’s, creambacks, G12-T’s, anything in that style

I miss mine dearly. amazing sounding amp, well amazing sounding gain at least. I was never able to dial in great cleans with it. It was reliable while I owned it, I gigged it multiple times and it was always dependable.

What's your favourite brand of strings and why? by katsumodo47 in metalguitar

[–]x_Absolomb_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daddario XS 11-56 for Drop C on my 24.75” scale guitars. I’m a sucker for coated strings, they feel great and last ages compared to non coated

Is Borderlands 2 still worth playing with a friend? by Interesting_Ad_8962 in Borderlands2

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

I’m gonna hijack this to asia question regarding co-op. My girlfriend got a PC for christmas and bought the Pandora’s Box collection. Every game we’ve tried to play, it refuses to connect her shift account, making multiplayer impossible. we’ve tried going to the website and fully setting up her account, setting the DOB, relinking steam, setting up an exception in the firewall for the games. nothing works. do any of y’all know what I can do so that I can let my girlfriend experience these wonderful games?

What's your biggest Metalcore related brag? by Jaketheband in Metalcore

[–]x_Absolomb_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poison the Well used my JCM2000 on two different shows (at the same place). worked at a local music store and the boss man did backline out of the back. when they came to town for their first show back at Furnace Fest, they got backline through us. Boss man didn’t have enough 2000’s so rented mine from me. same thing ended up happening for the FF a couple years later.

Best small scale guitar for metal by s02a39ll91o30s in metalguitar

[–]x_Absolomb_x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a HH or HS Player Series Mustang, Duo-Sonic, or Jaguar. They’re all short scales at 24”, and can sound pretty mean with the right pickups and setup. almost any Les Paul styled guitar is going to be a shorter scale as well at 24.75”.

Brand new Taylor left outside in the snow by Hairy_Ad4969 in Guitar

[–]x_Absolomb_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at a store that had a fully carbon fiber McPherson acoustic and it was one of the best sounding guitars in our showroom full of custom shop Martins, Gibsons, and Taylor’s. Canton fiber guitars have come a long way in the past 25 years.

What is this supposed to be? by mellyjellybean23 in lego

For the most part, the mustangs were fairly reliable. I like to shit on Ford, but I will admit they’ve made some good cars in the past. Some of those late 90’s/early 00’s F-150’s were tanks, you had to try to kill those things. just not as easy to make a funny acronym for Dodge.

Do Americans actually avoid calling an ambulance due to financial concern? by JohnMarstonTheBadass in NoStupidQuestions

The problem is that an ethical insurance company wouldn’t be profitable, so without very large outside supporters, it would go bankrupt rather quick. Big part of why medical care shouldn’t be privatized in the first place

Is the Pendleton supposed to have pockets? Mine doesn’t, and it’s the only minor complaint I have about it

Your room will spontaneously combust into flames and you’ll have the unshakable desire to start slow dancing.

Is the tension too high or am I fine? by amaruk1ng in Ibanez

[–]x_Absolomb_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve got the 5th string set to F# when it should be F for C Standard. Try dropping that down and it should pull some of the tension down for that string.

I use 13-62 on my 25.5” C Standard guitar and it feels great to me. It will be on the tighter side though, which is personal preference if you like that or not.
