i see, Dunlop, Elixir, Ernie Ball.... all this are expensive strings?

wat does "meh" means?

average and doesn't seem THAT fantastic.

BTW..... 'meh' is now an official word.....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20081117/ts_al...at_081117133408

so how u pronounce it? ..just "meh" ?

yeah about strings..
whats the diff
thicker strings and thinner strings?
thanks

the thing is, with the MT-2, most people tends to just scope the mids. this is why it won't cut through. play around with the mids and mid frequency and it'll cut through most things, provided with a good pickup of course. the MT-2 is really versatile provided you know how to set it up(well, gain isn't everything to me).



i'm on d'addario exl120. yeah, have to agree, with proper care, most strings will tahan lasak one.



hey, i thought "meh" is a chinese word. any chinese to verify?

no. even with mid boost(on its own eq), it still sounds..... 'behind'.
never tried to boost the mid with eq thou.

Hi, I've got a question for anyone who's familiar with the Marshall AVT series.

I tested a Marshall AVT150 1x12 combo in Bentley yesterday (together with a fellow co-conspirator from the Sanctuary ). Surprisingly, when I checked the Marshall website, they don't have a AVT150 1x12 combo listed, only an AVT150 Tribute head (which I also saw in Bentley).

I also saw the AVT Tribute 20w & 100w combos and the AVT Tribute 150w head at Bentley.

Has Marshall discontinued the AVT150 combo? Come to think of it, the other AVTs in Bentley had a little plaque saying "AVT Tribute" (just like in the Marshall website) except for the AVT150...

Thanks in advance...

EDIT: Oooh, and the Marshall logo on the AVT Tributes (20w, 100w, and the 150w head) in Bentley were a bronzey colour whereas the AVT 150 Combo was a pure white...

That's probably an older stock AVT150. I remember testing the AVT150 combo when I was on my search for my Tube Amp as well.

Hehe... thanks for the prompt reply, Mr Marshalltrix!

Gargh! I shoulda tested the AVT100 Tribute too. Guy there said that it was the same as the AVT150 but with less effects. I tried the AVT Tribute 20w but that really really svcked b@lls...

Eh, yours is the JCM or the JVM? Combo or stack mou?

EDIT: Erm, just wondering if you know what's the difference between JVM and JCM... they're way over my budget but I'm kinda curious...

I have effing sweaty hands.(Yea, those unstoppable and uncontrollable sweating syndrome on my palm). This makes me when I go jamming with my friends, I cant bend the string to the desired tone and worst, my strings will go rusty in no time. Any polish or liquid thing that I can purchase for this purpose to keep my strings in well condition?

JVM is the latest series. Supposed to be the answer to Mesa's Roadking series. Supposed to handle classic crunch and modern metal crunch.
JCM is the more classic Marshall-esque rock tone. But there are so many models of JCM, it's mind boggling. 800, 900, 2000.....

I'm using the JCM2000 TSL (Triple Super Lead) 602 2x12 combo....... whew.... that was a mouthful.

Might be thinking of changing to 6550 Groove Tubes and the speakers to either Celestion Vintage 30s or EVM12L Black Label Speakers...... guess which I'm leaning towards

Ah... then what's the lowdown on the DSL vs TSL?

Seriously, the array of amps that Marshall has is ...

And the price...

Grrrargh! What really annoys me is that I demou-ed EQ's old AVT150 and the gain was bloody killer. Chugga-chugga-chuggga all the way... the "newer" AVT150 in Bentley at max gain was equivalent to like half gain on EQ's old AVT150... And I tested the AVT150 in Bentley through a DKMG with 81/85!

...seriously GASsing mou... need to rob bank mou... blow up ATM downstairs in Courts Mammoth, then go up and buy JCM mou...

^ I'll provide you with the getaway car, make sure to grab some PRS's on the way.

I'll just have on RR3, PRS Singlecut, and a... mode four. LOL.

Get the Dunlop Ultraglide String Cleaner & Conditioner.

awwwwwww....... I'm going to Bentley in the morning around 11am. My God mother wants to buy an electronic drumset so introducing her to some Rolands.
Also, since I'm there, I'm dragging my Razorback 255 to test out some Mesas. My birthday is on December 17th

...............
power of GAS.
thought you just got a big ass marshall?

Well...... I'm just window shopping with serious intention to buy at the moment.........
If that happens, will kiss good bye to my Marshall.

I'll have all the Taylor GS-6 and the JS-20th Anniversary =p

i just want something small - the keys to the store

i... i... i... i wan everything hehe.....

what time does bentley open?
i wanna drop by too but ive got an appointment at noon.

Indeed...Marshall has like the same amount of models that Ibanez has for their guitars..! Shionged mou ><
I must admit, I was really surprised the AVT150x you tested in Bentley sounded pretty good and more 'metal' than I expected, and with great solo tones as well! Due to experiences with Marshall AVTs in jamming studios around, I've always associated AVTs wit having 'not tight, purely for soloing' tone.

I got even more surprised when you said EQ's old AVT150 is a high gain monster! Man, why were we so shallow minded before?

(maybe it's time to start playing Les Pauls mou...! )

Don't worry, I'll welcome her with open arms.

avt has piercing + not warm tone imo. ok i admit i dunno how to properly eq it.

have you tried fast fret?

Ok, that's it. I've got it all sorted out.

Blacktrix will go inside Bentley and distract the people there on the pretense of testing out drumsets, new amps etc.

Headhunter7 will wait outside the building in the designated getaway-mobile, preferrably something with a lot of trunk space.... how bout we go carjack a Tuareg on the way there?

Then Enteryourusername and whoever else wants a cut and me can go inside and sapu everything.

Valkyrie will be on standby with his K7 to "Blind" anyone who tries to stop us. And then we'll all follow the valkyrie to the getaway-mobile.

Oh yeah, once we sapu everything from the shop, we'll drop off the keys with Everdying.

Let me guess, Everdying is probably going to say "And I'll drop off the keys to don8ld." Hahaha...

no la...i will take the keys first...
hot chicks get to go in first...
all u guys must pay me RM1000 to enter...
good price wat...think of all the savings u will make...

after nothing inside...i convert the place to massage parlor and get donald to work for me...im sure got lots of uncles who like small boys

Just came back.
All I can say is that I'm not very impressed with the Roadster. Has the low-end, but not enough definition. Looks like I'm sticking with my Marshall!

Plan aborted. Co-conspirator Enteryourusername was too busy learning how to shred at MusicMaster.
To quote Enteryourusername, "No need break in one. Once Gapnap teach me how to play literally killer arpeggios, I'll just go there to test guitar and watch everyone drop dead. It's pretty amazing."




Err... just another question, Mr Marshalltrix... what in Odin's name are Groove Power tubes? For the power or preamp? EL34 ke, 6L6 ke, AvX7 ke?

EDIT: the 6550 you wanna get are EL34 or 6L6?

EDIT EDIT: Don't worry, I googled Groove Tubes. You're looking at 6L6s right? Does it make the gain more brutal sounding, or does it give more gain or both?

Nope.. 6550. Not 6L6s or EL34s..... 6550. That's the model name....

http://www.mclink.it/com/audiomatica/tubes/6550.htm

http://www.dv247.com/invt/55065/

Ah... originally based on the 6L6 right? (Fuh, the wonders of wikipedia! )

Why lah? Why not a 6L6?

EDIT:

Oooh, wanted to ask you. Yours is 60W right? Is it friggin' loud? I'm kinda looking at a DSL401 (40W) and I'm kinda scared I gotta blast before it sounds alright....

Yes. I need to crank it up to healthy (ie: Ear bleeding, nausea, headaches and rectal trauma) levels to get that wonderful Marshall tone. Thank god I have a semi-isolated music room

So the 40w would be a pretty decent amp to crank.

And 6550 Tubes are known for a fatter sound with more headroom...... which is exactly what I need.

sorry for the bad example
but can some1 tell me how to play this?
how do i stum fret 10 on the 5th string and fret 12 on the 3rd string?

Oh... amp I'm about to test comes with Groove Tube Gold series... Slovakian 6L6 if I'm not mistaken... sh!t. I'm damn n00b with all this tube crap.

...more like just damn n00b when it comes to amps. and guitars. gargh!


Oh yeah, here's something for Valkyrie:





If you're using a pick, pick the notes on the 5th string and use your other right hand finger (middle, ring or pinky) to pluck the 3rd string.

Or mute the 4th string with your free finger.

ok i try again...i did the muting but it doesnt sound that nice..
i will try rustreaver's idea hmmm

the easier and more common way to play that is like a normal power chord using 1st and ring finger...
then drop ur 1st finger down so it rests on the 4th string thereby muting it.
basically ur 1st finger will be doing all the work...if really want to u can push ur 1st finger slightly higher also so it rests on the side of the 6th string...
so u can really strum it from top.

Holy crap. I definitely DID enjoy That!!!!

Actually it depends on how what kind of effect you're trying to achieve. If you want the notes on both strings to articulate clearly, then pick the lower string and pluck the higher string.

If you want more of a "chord" sound, then mute the 4th string and strum it like Blacktrix suggested.

It's amazing! Bikers rock!

just play the octaves with your first finger on the root note and pinky on the octave, using your first finger to mute the 4th string... for the notes being on the same fret you can either barre it if you're plucking the notes or change your finger positioning if you're using a pick

actually i found something like this when i was trying
paramore's - thats what you get
i looked at the tabs
and the 2nd guitar was something like that
u know when hear the song to get the sliding sound

davis is selling for 3k iirc. last time i was gassing for one, but then after consideration, i'd rather take a 18w ceriatone than that if i hav 3k

Added on November 22, 2008, 6:56 amdanlion1 is having a sale on bugera amps. check it out mou.

what s a decent cable to get for bout 50 bucks?keep getting planet waves and it gets screwedup like amonth after

Wah... why like that one?! I just picked mine up today... sau-lan...

has anyone tried the ltd v-200? any comments?

Can someone here explain to me about minor 3rds, perfect 4ths,flattened 5ths and stuff like that?I don't understand how to form them.They're chords right? The numbers confuse me.

simply follow the major scale.
C D E F G A B C

minor is always the 3rd note flat 1/2 step.
so Eb

perfect 4th, like the name is the 4th note perfect...kinda like what miley cyrus will be in 2yrs time.

flattened 5th...again like the name says...the 5th note and flat it 1/2 step...like what would happen if rafidah aziz sat on u...

also known as diminished 5th...again kinda like rafidah's brain cells...

good simple example of that flat 5th is the intro to black sabbath's 'black sabbath'...

guys i have a question

tuning with the floyd rose
from standard to like drop d or c half step down
need to adjust the height of the bridge only right??
nothing to do with the springs ???
