it is what she said... but in defense of charcoal, I like to taste the carcinogens! slow and low is the way to go sometimes, which is also what she said

don't smoke around the pro pane... whew

I've been moreprofessional than most people here, doing tv msic and stuff. I dont have a pro page

buld up that gear IQ then

maybe the system you tried is optimized for humming? constraining to the limited, monophonic instrument that is the human voice is probably a lot less complex than the 1-6 notes at a time that a guitar can produce. Did you try humming first?

I can think of a lot of humans who can't pick apart a song polyphonically LOL mostly guitarists of course.... and of course most 'normal' people can't

You're asking HAL to do something that's 'more human than human' LOL

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that." And that's why I believe "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind," (from the O.C. Bible, after the Butlerian Jihad--pretty excited for Dune 2020).

you and me both.... and damnit, Shazam and Soundhound, not everyone is named Dave, now open the fucking air-lock!

if you have a pic I'll gix it FOR you, that's why I asked if you had a picture

its probably metric spacing and can use an off the shelf metric (import) bridge from all parts

that's not the same thing....

your ocal shop can't do what rutters does.... rutters

I always just go for the best solution, that's me

you will also be required to put a reason for your edit, in this case it would be "improved item image"

Talk to Rutters, they'lll make it fit. Machined to order.

do you really want the machines to get any smarter? FIrst they start ecognizing songs, then its all "Hello, Dave."

there's a giant 1. there's a photo, underneath it says choose photo and there's a gray icon that says "browse"

click browse, if you have a better photo, find it and select it.

if I were pissed off I wouldn't have replied, if Iw ere really pissed off because you did soemthing really inappropriate you would be forum banned for awhile

neither has occured. I'm just rolling my eyes.

directly udner the star rating you will see a hyoerlink that says Edit Details... if you don't see that you don't have enough gear IQ to see it. But its not a moderator-only feature.

I mean, DO YOU have a better pic of the Aria SB-1000???

its not a juno6, but based on your glowing review of the jx3p, pkennethk, I managed to get the rack iteration (mks30) and a pg200 on the cheap lst night. I relly don't remember loving the jx3plast time I played one and I outright disliked the jx8p I had, but I'm giving this another shot. Maybe with the controller it will inspire me. Still seeking a j6 though. I'm debating paying top dollar for a soundgas serviced, midi-fied unit. I eman, I'll never take a bath on it if I need to sell it and I think between that, my mks50 and now the mks30 I will be set for roland poly sounds.

if you can find a better image then replace it yourself, you have the power, like He Man.... that might be the ebst image available. If you want to photoshop the abckground out? Again, its your time and effort and we will be grateful!

galaxy A20, default keyboard... and yes, text input like reviews, notes on gear sightings, forum posts

its a winne, man, limited modulation, very old school. WIthout the 3rd osc its a lot like a CS80/OBX type thing. 2 pole filter is right in that yami/obi camp..... but the ebtter user oscillators out there add a lot because they have their own envelopes and LFOs if you get udner the hood. The menu system is REALLY easy too. Instead of a complex menu system to access a men's aprameters you go in menu mode and each of the 8 preset bank buttons opens up a list of menus that are related and you just pick one and all the aprameters are right there on an easy tos croll and easy to read display.

good idea... its such a winner you would only sell it to get double the voices.

I'm thinking about buying a Prologue 16 so my 8 will be a bit redundant. Would anyone like to buy it? I'lll load it with your choice of multi engine user oscillators. I have all the best freebies like the mutable isntruments wavetable and additive stuff and a lot of pay ones like the physical modelling pluck and bow, the wave morpher etc. If you're serious I'll give you a list to pick from. Honestly what I have in it now is a good all around selection. The synth itself is in like-new condition. Only been played about 50 times. I got a good deal on sale for the holidays from an online retailer and am looking to recoup MOST of my investment on it if I sell so my asking price is $800 firm. I don't think you'll find one this cheap that's not a foreign ebay scam.

feel free to reply to this thread if you're interested.

somany necroposts lately

In isntruments? for hip hop I feel like an 80s lofi sampling drum machine is a must, software can't fake it. A studio electronics SE1 and/or an ARP odyssey? great investment. Basses, gangster whines.... the odyssey? I have like 3 now, desert island gear.

I do facebook. search james marchione philadelphia

what are your goals? personally I'm always buying instruments. Synths, guitars, amps.... I'm less into drum machines. I like actual FX processors from the 80s and 90s so I invest in lexicons and spx90s etc. Never know if I'll wanna go out of the box when mixing. You already have the dbx vocal strip, so unless you want to go crazy with soemthing like a distressor, 1176, sta-level or LA2A you're solid on compression and you could always up your game with a focusrite ISA1 or a Shelford channel preampwise.... I'm not partial to API on vocals or even tube stuff like the overhyped avalon vocal strips. Used 'em plenty, meh. The Manley voxbox is actually prett sweet though. Their Massive Passive is a thing of beauty, like a refined pultec EQ but I can't imagine the price/utility ratio would do you much good....

in microphones I am really partial to the long discontinued Rode NTV which is a big upgrade to your NT1a. The new rode tube mics are vastly inferior, the NTV was amazing. Very modern sound for valve gear... in a good way. I of course like royers, worth ahving one around.... if you need a small diaphragm pair the rode nt5 is great for card only, for multipattern the oktave mc012 with all the capsules is still a clear winner being SOOOOOO cheap and the omni capsule is great for room microphones on or near the floor. In vintage voiced tube mics ADK really kills it for how affordable they are. I ahd one for YEARS, sold it for reasons that escape me. But now they have C12, elam251 and even 47 clones. I've been thinking of buying 1 of each. The C12 and elam are really special mics. EF86 pentodes rule but make sure to ivnest in an old telefunken or Mullard 86, ditch the current production one. Not all 86es are created equal.

if we include gaphic novels I would venture upwards of 3k books.... regualr monthlies? well I don't know then. I got rid of a lot of my original 80s and 90s issues unless they were signed or soemthing back ebfore we married and Leigh paired down a lot too, but we swapped out for cllections so the number of graphic novels in ahrdback or tradepaperback format is huge. I mean, I have the whole essential x men plus tons of post-claremont collections, etc etc. That's like 25 trade paper backs right there just on x-men

I have a whole big storage unit to hold the book overflow (yes, overflow, books I'll reread for pleasure or anything reference is here at the house, hundreds of them, maybe more) from me and my wife and because they're all mixed together from our last move before her death I dunno which are trash novels I could donate to a library and which are real books unless I tear the storage apart box by box which Im not doing right now.... thousands of books boxed up. It was way out of control the year before she died. She had a count of our joint book hoarde at one point when we were moving to DC but I can't recall how many there were, it was thousands though and the buyinh went on for a few more years. I love books, avid reader, but our ability to keep all those books, many of which we would never read again in a million years, was limited by our income. Its a library for a wealthier family.

being single again the last ew years I'm resolved not to form a long term relationship with a non-musician again. After being widowed my musical life got a lot better because I didn't have the love of my life telling me not to buy that synth or guitar only to turn around and blow the same amount of money on hardback trash novels abd shelves to house them eating up more floor space in the process bevcause cheap ikea book shelves are better decore than a tweed fender amplifier (yeah right). There's no one forcing me to listen to combichrist at ear splitting levels in the car... I intend to keep my life like this. I might make an exception for one aprticular person, but we see eye to eye on music a little better than me and my wife did... but I still foresee the budgeting arguments and floor space war. I think my best bet is to date some music peeps, soemthing I've never done before.

cool

you shoulda married my wife... she was really gorgeous and a demon in th sack with an exhausting sex drive so you woulda made out that way.

teles.... mmmmm.... at one point I had half a dozen of them. Now 3 I think.

Great thing about my ASD, it seems to benefit me as a musician. Downside to my ASD? I'm not so great at the socializing in person. Interwebz? I have time to think and process, so I can do a bit better.

you sund more like my late wife (sans drugs) than Plato.... man she loved chatting people up on the interweb but without powerful chemicals she ahd trouble with a simple double date at one of her favorite resturants even if it was with 2 of HER 'friends'

look at low end greco and burny LPs too, very hollow, more like a gretsch duo jet or original 50s guild aristocrat than an LP inside but otherwise very well made guitars. The lwoer the model number in grecos and burnies the more hollow its likely to be :-)

If you have over 2k to spend, the gretsch professional series duo jets are fabulous guitars! But it ahs to be recent ones, 90s ones are more solid, the ones with the big ehadstocks that chris cornell plyed back in the day in front of soundgarden? those are pretty much solid. Its the japanese made FMIC distributed jets that are hollow and only the professional series ones, MIJ only. I got one for 1200 bucks during the financial crisis and eventually sold it ina financial pinch because much as I loved it Iw as playing out in small venues a lot back then and the dearmonds hummed so abdly, but if I had gotten a fitlertron one I woulda kept it. Also, as much as I liked cadillac green and gold hardware in theory it just wasn't me, I need a silver sparkle finish. Need it

oh, kay thin twin and guild aristocrat also great but catching on and getting pricey

owning fullysolid LP and LP style guitars and having owned a heavily chambered gretsch duo jet I can tell you that even with different pickups the biggest difference is the note bloom. The partially hollow gretsch has a resonancethat swells after the attack even unplugged almost like subtle low end reverb that follows the attack of your picking before transitioning to sustain and decay. Its more pronounced on chords and gets evened out some plugged in, especially when distorted (less so if you use fast response amplifiers like high end solid state like a polytone or soemthing high current like an ac30 or high bandwidth such as a hiwatt), but shape of the note and frequency response is audibly different from a solid les paul. When properly set up a good, long tennon LP type guitar with no weight relief and no weird flaws like a rise at the heel has a plunky banjo attack unplugged with a surprisingly long decay that's mainly lower frequencies with a really distinguishable ADSR type envelope when recorded with a microphone unplugged whereas the more chambering you add the more complex the envelope gets with more stages (in synth speak). The frequencies present in these envelope stages seem to be highly influenced by bridge amterial and woods. In electronics, lower ohmage pots tend to mitigate some of the frequency differences but even moreso the pickups do. Single coil types like P90s or dearmonds will allow a lot more through, especially with 500k pots wide open, whereas humbuckers allow less through I guess due to cancelling a lot of weird harmonics.... and then PAF types with mismatched coils will pick up extra harmonics but not in the same way where I feel like the pickup is only hearing part of the wood dfferences and accenting weird bits of the spectrum and cancelling other parts and you're hearing the pickup more than a true humbucker or a single.... my 2 cents.

EDIT: I will also posit that both chambered and solid singlecuts can sound great, there's a gradation of audible difference from soemthing heavily hollow like a duo jet or low end lawsuit copy through gibson's 90s and 2000s weight relieved LPs with a few well thought out circles routed in the upper and lower bouts and behind the bridge through a traditional LP. I had an 80s LP in a band and the rhythm guy had a 2000s LP with weight relief. They had similar pickups and electronics, the difference was not super pronounced but we could ehar it when both were set up the same (this guy played crazy low action and that made it hard to hear unplgged, but when I got him to try higher action tog et more singing tone with less gain we were able to really compare... plugged in his guitar was a little brighter but generally sounded like mine and I think mine had just mellowed with age).... I the case of theibanez the bolt on neck will have more impact probably.... the tite bond or hide glue of a gibson has a real effect on frequency response and its been noted scientifically by many nerds. More than the mahogany its really factor in gibson's characteristically midrangey sound unplugged. If the ibanez neck is shimmed then its also decoupled. As bruce feiten will tell you this doesn't decrease sustain as many blieve but it does change the frequencies present in sustain. So shimmed bolt neck singlecut will have a drastically different timbre than a glued in neck.

Plugged in YMMV, pickups, pots and amplifier choice can homogenize things or not... my 62 ac30 tends to add its own special character to every axe but 2 similar guitar will have very ddrastically different sounds whereas they might sound really similar through say a deluxe reverb. The vox mojo doesn't really homogenize the sound, its like a magic sparkle over top of the guitar. No 2 guitars ever sound simialr through that amp. I have 2 very similar SGs with essentially the same pickup set and pots etc, they sound the same through most amps, not through the JMI Vox. So amps play a lot into it plugged in.

fenders: aged celluloid tort or celluloid MOP are whats up for solid colors...

that tele is so tacky its brilliant

my wife was so bipolar she's dead now

jimmy page did his tele before it became the dragon tele, I feel like he just sued double stick tape LOL, check the fender website

I always date/marry the evil ones

better quality than a dano in theory as a dano is not even much wood, mainly formica.... but the formica has quite a sound LOL

the old jap guitars are often made like 70s norlin era gibsons, although as that other dude pointed out, the lower end ones are invariable 'weight relieved' with chambers, probably less to do with weight and more to do with saving wood, They probably used the scraps in other pancakes LOL

she single?
