I would go through a list of pedals on a website, look them up on youtube, and see what they all sound like. I don't think it should too complicated. When you hear a tone or sound you like in a song, look up what pedals they used and what pedals people on youtube use to cover those songs.

What I liked about your band is that they remind me o fthe 90's.

The why is because of international labor laws. They use the cheapest supplies possible and hire out people to work the machines in countries where the wages are already super low. They also strike contracts that say if those factories stay open for a certain number of years, they cna gaurantee an even lower wage.

Really, I think any Epiphone just about is going to make you regret buying, but any $100 guitar is going to be rough. Likely to have tuning problems, a bad tone that can't be dialed in, and parts that chip and peel.

I feel Sweetwater has the nicest website, and MusiciansFriend has the largest archived instruments. I only use GC when I do because I get an employee discount.

Guitar Center's lack of variety and focus on lower end products is what will end them. They are basically a begginer's store. Every GC is pretty much the same store and carries the same guitars and basses on the wall. As soon as they sell one, they replace it with an identical model. GC makes me cringe. Their customer service is also terrible.

I just realized something about the first post. The chords are wrong :)

I've heard 10,000 reasons before and never heard what I hear in that recording. The way you played it, it shared the exact same chords and order as Fukai Mori. I thought this would be amazing and I was about to add it to my stolen riffs thread but, the actual version from Redman is different.

I just heard a bunch of hype about this Gary Clark Jr feller. After watching a couple of videos of him... I don't get it. His soloing is very rigid and choppy. People are making him out to sound like he's the greatest guitarist of all time. He doesn't seem to have the skills to back that.

Second from right is a Dean. I think far right is an Epiphone. Might be some rares in the middle.

I would imagine a girl owns them; judging by the candles, rocks, and pottery shaped like blouses on top.

Alright. Videos only. Find the part of the song that sounds identical to another part of a song. Many of these will be famous as all hell, but that's okay. Two videos per post. I'll start.

There's always the possibility that its a Gibson ES-345 or something similar that he added a bigsby on. Could be modified.

I had a gear experience that made me realize I need to change my gear around.

I took my rack gear and a Fender 410 to last week's camp. I had my pedal board with me like usual, but after the first day, a hissing started being voiced through the speakers. It was my pedal board. No matter what I took off or in what order I tried, the pedalboard caused a hiss.

Day 3 the hissing returned even without the pedalboard and my volume seemed a little low. Out of frustration, I attempted to just play directly with the amp and bypass the sansamps, compression, and tuner. The amp didn't work. It supplied and received power, but it would make a single sound on it's own. We changed all the cables I had in the back and tried to adjust the ground on everything. Nothing worked.

Day 4 the volume was even lower and with higher hissing. I decided to change the batteries in my bass and see if that would help. With new batteries, the hissing was gone and the volume was way up. The amp still didn't work though.

Some of my bandmates suggest it was the power of the old building we were in, but I use a power conditioner and it read that we were always between 120-130 volts.

There was a certain difference in volume. I feel it was a frequency or something. I would play without the band and without an audience and be pretty loud. Once playing with the band and having a bunch of people screaming, by bass dropped down below where I wanted it. I could have turned it up, but it was already at 65% on both sansamps. I think the next camp will be a test to go with just the pedalboard, the Ampeg, and a 410. If it works out well, I may get a miniMEGA as a backup to take with me. Carrying around a 150 lbs rack though was a pain in the back.

Light weight is a bad thing for me. The only light weight basses I've played that sounded amazing were all in the multi-thousands of dollars. When look at basses under $2000, heavy basses turn out to be better sounding to me.

Squire will always be the step-child of the Fender family. They won't ever put as much love and attention into the entry level market that they do for the high end market. For a bassist, the pickups, the preamp, and the string spacing are going to make a huge difference.

There is a beginner range of bassses. I consider these to be the $300-$500 basses. I don't mention anything lower than $300 because I believe the instruments are so low quality at that range, they aren't a good inestment for a new player. No resale value, sound bad, feel akward.

This Orange bass would be considered a begginer bass to me, but I don't think the price reflects the quality.

With Squire, I think Ibanez and Epiphone are doing more with their entry lines. The most commonly accepted entry basses I've seen bands lug around were Ibanez 405's, Epiphone Firbird Pro's, and Schecter Stiletto Extremes. These are all about $500 brand new, retain market value decent enough, and don't feel terrible.

In the bass world, the old Peavey lines are considered the best budget basses. The Milleniums are loved for a $300 range, the Cirrus is praised for the $1000 range. Yamahas are more rare to see, but the people who own them, love them.

The only places I see Squires are Guitar Centers and pawn shops.

$400 could buy you a used Fender. $500 Could get you a new one.

I would stay clear of Squire and stick with Fender if you like their appearance and tone. I've picked up Fenders that felt okay, but I've never held a Squire that didn't feel like a toy.

They've been out a while. Never seen them in person, but they look ugly to me online. Kind of like a First Act walmart banger. They sell new at $400 and the Orange company sells all their gear at high prices. I think it amounts to being a $150 bass from any other company.

Pass.

If you are friends with them, I would meet up with them with a video camera and do a rundown or ask them to make a video and email it. Seems like a pretty cool opportunity.

what do you have against the LGBT community?

I didn't say I did. I said women mostly only pull LGBT and other women as their audience, which is very limiting. Male comics pulls in both those crowds and more.

I laugh because if I don't? well, fuck off.

I don't understand this.

No. I don't find women very funny.

This theory brought about that women are not funny simply because they don't have to be to secure copulation nor to gain favor in social circles.

@boom762 - Your theory's strength is in it's inherent irony.

One has to wonder which end of the telescope you're looking through?

In the UK we have a long tradition of popular comediennes. From Gracie Fields and Joyce Grenfell to contemporaries such as Jennifer Saunders Dawn french, Victoria Wood, Morwenna Banks Sue Perkins, Joanna Lumley, Jo Brand, Diane Morgan there's too many to list. Even foreign women here become somehow empowered with humour.

In the states, most female comedians mainly only pull other women and the LGBT community. The biggest female comedians here are probably Ellen DeGeneres, Rosanne Bar, Whoopi Goldberg, Maria Bamford, Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers, and Amy Schumer. These names are very spread out on the timeline though and for big female comic there are more male comics that draw larger crowds, get more specials, and have a more diverse audiance.

Thinking back on when you were in school, I'm sure you remember some class clowns. It could be different in Europe but those are mostly boys here.

Look at how big of a deal it is that Dave Chappelle returned. How quickly the Robin Williams on Broadway specials sold out. Kevin Hart might be doing the biggest specials currently.

The theory goes well with the US female comics as well. There arent many attractive female comics here. They are all overweight, frumpy, have low self-esteem/depression, or are gay, which eads more towards masculine emulation and self identitiy.

I play with one tone. There's no point in me having an amp that can recreate every other amp when I just need one amp. Once I dial in, I only utilize a volume pedal, and even then, I'm starting to use my volume pot more often.

i want something that can cover all the bases in my arsenal, so thaqts why its even a question.

Then Kemper it is.

The answer, knowing that you play metal, would be Marshall. You would have more resources of metal players and their settings with Marshall. Vox I think is more country, christian, U2'ish popularized. Orange is orange. I've not heard people coming out of the woodwork to proclaim the praises of Orange.

Honestly, with your yurning for experimentation and such and with the prices being close enough for the high end stuff, I would tell you to get a Kemper head and you coul dpotentially have all three.

Ehh... I don't think e-mails between fans should be considered as a source. Same for fourms and such. I could make a threadthe way many of our members make a quick soundcloud and post false material to be used for sourcing like, "I talked to Boom once at a show and he said he used Gibson SG Custom basses."

That's the beauty of EB, we demand reputable proof. Video and audio interviews of the artists saying what they have is fine and written interview minutes CAN be acceptable if posted by a reputable enough source.

If this were a democracy, I would vote no to this; however, it is not. G and M are the only ones that can decide to change this.

Eddie Izzard is a man, which made him funny :)

I loved his, "Dressed to Kill", show as a kid. I used to buy all his DVD's and they got less funny over-time to me. Dress to Kill still has humor for me though.

No. I don't find women very funny. Sarah, in particular, seems like she tries too hard. There are women comedians who have a casual and relaxed way about themselves and it goes a long way as far as how often they can make you smile.

I've felt this way for a long time, but I also read recently that it's a theory that women are not funny based on the purpose of humor. It's to sedate and win over favor. Women can attract a mate based on appearance, smell, and sound. Men, being the sex that has to innitiate and seek after a mate, have a certain potential in attraction based on their genes. One example of this was that men with deep voices have lower sperm counts on average. A deep voice is attractive to women and represents masculinity on it's own. In the battle to pass on genes, another body will not put as much effort into the vocal chords and instead focus on other features that would ensure survival, like sperm count.

This theory brought about that women are not funny simply because they don't have to be to secure copulation nor to gain favor in social circles.

One thing I never looked into was how many succesful comedians are attractive, masculine, well built, tall, etc. Just off the top of my head though, many of the comedians I enjoy are trolls :)

If it were just for comedic value I would want Patton Oswalt, Dave Attell, and Lousie C.K. at the table.

No, but I DID just back in from a pass through your neck of the woods. Had some Brown's BBQ food truck. Bought an Ampeg Classic 300 for $1000 too.

I think I'd want mine to be George W. Bush, Glenn Jacobs, and James Hetfield.

You are given the opportunity to have dinner with any three living people. Who do you pick for your three table mates?
