hey, btw, look for sales. My guitar retails for like 800 but I picked it up for 6.
ive had countless esp and ibenez figure its time to change haha
ha nice. I was so close to buying an ibanez, but I thought the nexts were too slim xD
necks*
my last Ibanez was that my last one ever.... spent 800 on a new fanned fret 7 string supposed to come with solderless EMG well it came with EMGs soldered to a bunch of passive pots and the jack was not even stereo LOL couldn't even trust them to fix it because it came back after i sent it back with the same jack XD ripped out the guts and put some nazgouls in now it shreds
the wizard II neck though is still one of my favs to play
jeez, that sucks.
I hate it when people jack up electronics
I have thought about maybe looking for a better jack and paying someone to install in it my Schechter cause it has a bit of play, but nothing that affects the sound quality.
that really is the one thing I dont like about it though
actually, im an idiot. the jack has play cause the damn bolt is loose xD
Heh
how was it out of the box need to do much intonation ,sting action hight adjustments? i have heard the horror storys of fret buzz from shecters but Im used to buzzing tuning down to C or A on seven
so i will be doing a full set up anyway just curious
the action height was spot on. truss rod was good too. I think the intonation was close too and the fret buzz wasnt so bad out of the box. more just the strings slapping against the fretboard itself because the stock strings were super light. <:KEK:726877368601411624> I got some thicker strings now (size 12 bronze phosphor) that buzz a good bit from drop b on, but I think its just the strings more than anything. Bronze phosphor has a beautifully rich tone, but they tend to buzz more *ime*. The low action probably contributes somewhat, but I think its a non-issue if you run thick enough strings for your current tuning.
hope this helps
and ofc, if you can, try the guitar out it person. They were going to try selling me a demo guitar that was in pretty bad shape. I said hell no and asked if they had another one in their inventory. They brought one out, I checked it over and tried it, and left with solid piece of equipment.
tbf, it was just some young guy at a guitar center, so I dont fault the store for trying to rip me off, but ye
haha never take home the demo with out a killer deal XD my friend did that i made him go back and get a new one since he payed the new price and the demo was sitting out for like a year he was new to guitars at the time so innocent lol got my first ESP off the wall at guitar center got 150 off because it already had buckle rash XD
dang nicee deal bro. I would have asked for 200 off, but 150 aint bad <:KEK:726877368601411624>
Anybody know a good mic that works well with brass instruments? I need to record but the internal one on my computers shorts out anytime I play above a certain range on my horn
bro i feel ya. I would just try using the mic on your phone if you got one. most of them are OK now, just know that you would not want to use your phone to record something for a final mix. tbh, I am just getting into the recording and mixing game, so I dont have a ton of exp or kit yet. That said, I am asking for a Shure SM85 for Christmas so that I can record acoustic guitar (bronze phosphor strings for low-E through G, coated steel for B and high-E). If I dont get it for xmas, probably will just buy it.
Keep in mind, you will need a decent audio interface to connect your mic to your pc. I have a focusrite scarlet 2i2. I haven't used it for mics yet, but it lets me play my guitar directly into my pc and it works well. A good interface like the scarlet also lets you adjust gain (to prevent clipping) and should have different options to power your mic. e.g., some mics use phantom power, so make sure that whatever interface you get has this option.
sm58, not 85. my bad
Ill get you a link
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Scarlet2i2G3--focusrite-scarlett-2i2-3rd-gen-usb-audio-interface here is the interface I have. focusrite has a cheaper model, the scarlet solo, that can also get you into the game just as well, however, the 2i2 has two audio jacks instead of one. This is good because it gives you the ability to position multiple mics at the same time. You would likely want to do this if your recording an instrument and singing at the same time, or if you want multiple angles on your sound source.
another thing the solo doesnt have is the ability to plug in either instrument cables or mic cables. That's the main reason I bought the 2i2, because I wanted to have the ability to plug a guitar into my pc.
shop around too because there are cheaper interfaces out there. I just personally like the focusrite ones.
and obviously, don't forget cables and a mic stand if you want to rec. instruments.
hope this helps. My last bit of advice is to do your own research. I can tell you what I think all day, but you situation is unique to you. Ask your own questions, do your own digging, and you'll find what you need. :)
oh, you will also need a daw. Just get Abelton 10 lite. I use that and it is perfectly fine for small projects. This is free and doesnt take up too much of your CPU if your careful.
It’s really sad that dumb political opinions usually leads to dumb music these days
