AArdvark's amplifier project

NICE!!

If I laid down a beat, bass line and a melody, should we make a song for Cyberganked?

[AArdvark]

Most definitely!

OK, now of course I am taking a trip out of town. I'll bump this when I get back and try to use the Music program I bought in that Humble Bundle to lay down a beat. I'm thinking the song should have the following characteristics:

1) Be three minutes or less in length.
2) Have drums and a bass line and a keyboard part that we can take out if we don't need the keyboard part.
3) Probably no real vocals, as it violates Ben Parrish's #1 Rule for Text Game Music: the vocals interfere with reading the text.

And I'll keep the chord progressions simple - not for you, but for me. :/

Cool. Just got me a new set of studio headphones and put the finishing touches on the mixer setup. Anytime is fine.

If you'll allow me this suggestion:

You are really into EDM, and we are really into the band Beaver...so why don't you take that Beaver song that was posted here a while back and use the software and equipment you guys have to mix it into an EDM song?

Cool Jazzmaster, man!

I'll post some pictures of my Fender setup sometime. Still love my old Mustang, but wish I had a cooler long neck guitar other than a Squire someone gave me for free.

I'm resurrecting this thread because it's where my Strat mod photos are. ( Photobucket sucks!)

Im going to mod my new (to me) Ibanez Gio. First some background...

Pros:

Free
Plays and feels pretty solid
Smaller and lighter than a Strat

Cons:

Too pointy
Cheap hardware
Paint is dinged and it's black, I already have a black guitar'

I don't play metal or thrash so the need for the instrument to look dangerous is objectionable. I'm going to reshape the body and make it more nice.


Danger headstock!

It only came with dual humbuckers but there's room for a single coil as well. They probably have a stock body and just throw in whatever electronics depending on the model. I'd say it's in the same range as a Squire Strat only more geared to the metal audience

I'll post some pics of my Fender stuff and pedals sometime..

I always used whatever pickups were factory in the guitar. The older the better.

My lead guitarist in my old band though insisted on playing humbuckers and his shit did sound nice and mean.
