The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[DeusExMachina]

when it comes out I bet I can find one.
Cool. I'll probably have to get it off the internet. I don't know how else I would be able to see it.

[MAthiAS]

How come? No DVD?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm in debt remeber?

Is it coming out on DVD?

I thought it was just for PSP?

[aMindlessMuse]

By the way, there's all this talk of age, so now I'm curious. How old are Barchetta and aMindlessMuse?

im 17

[MAthiAS]

I'm pretty sure its both DVD and UMD. It would be suicide for Square to only have it on UMD I think.

[aMindlessMuse]

so i hear that even though its been pushed back until november 30th, Advent children is coming out at about 1 hour and 45 minutes now... i guess its worth the wait...

/still sucks though...

off topic...

[FlyingPaul_83]

wow that longer than I expected, I thought it was gonna be like an 1 hour -1 hour and fifteen minutes. I can't wait.

1:45 now? Rock.

I can't wait until November 30th.

[MAthiAS]

I'd rather have a longer AC, and have to wait longer.

[DeusExMachina]

I'd rather have a longer AC, and have to wait longer.
Within a certain realm, I agree.

[MAthiAS]

It'd be sick if they made it a 3 hour epic, and had it come out at Christmas. Would give me time to replay VII.

I would cry if it were 3 hours, but what would they do in it?

what is the story anyway?

[MAthiAS]

Some disease of the planet or something. Pretty gay actually :lol:

[I am a revenant]

I read that it is called 'Star Scar Syndrome' which most of the surviving population suffers from.

[Lord Abortion]

Crap...1 hour 45?

It's going to be far too short.

If, hypothetically, they were ever to make an FFVII film, it would have to be in a lord of the rings style- 3 3 hour films to cram it all in, even then they'd have to cut a chunk...

[Dead Star]

Hey, I don't post in here often, but I usually read whats going on, and I was wondering if you guys could help me. I was looking for a website where you could download some of the FMV's in the Final Fantasy series, Particularly VII, IX and X.

Thanks In Advance.

[I am a revenant]

I found this site the other day when I was looking for MIDI's. This has the FMV's : http://ffnemesis.com/ff7/ff7.php .

I don't think so. Maybe if they were making a movie version of FFVII. But this is a movie sequel, so there's really no "required" length for it to be complete, because we don't know what it means for it to be complete.

[Happy]

hey, is that just like an online version of ff7 or what?
It's missing one important thing, the actual game.

[andyhainey]

??? what do ya mean?

[Happy]

You said it's an online version of FF7, but it's not 'cos you can't actually play it.

Im just trying to think what sections they could lose that wouldnt take away from the story.

Its hard :(

Well, levelling up... and chocobo racing, getting sidequests etc. would cut it down alot.

[MAthiAS]

Lol.

[DeusExMachina]

As for taking out bits of the FFVII story, I'm sure there's a lot that could be taken out. Namely, about 95% of the battles. Seriously, those are such filler. So many boss battles could be taken out that wouldn't seriously effect the story at all.

This is true of all FF games.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah. FFVII would make an awesome movie though.

Actually, FFVI would make as good a movie, if not better.

But taking out the battles would make it more of a movie than a game.

[crag]

if FFVII was to become a movie it would have to be a series of movies, like matrix and lotr, theres just too much for one movie

[MAthiAS]

But taking out the battles would make it more of a movie than a game.
That's what we're talking about.

FFVII could be done as one long movie I bet. A lot of things that take a long time in the game could be done in MUCH less time on film.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah. FFVII would make an awesome movie though.

Actually, FFVI would make as good a movie, if not better.
Yep. FFVI would make a better movie. Even if I try to speak objectively, I think the story of FFVI is more conducive to film.

[MAthiAS]

The gameplay of FFVI is setup in such a way that would convert into a more interesting and better (and shorter) movie, even though I prefer VII as a game. Not that VI is anything short of brilliance.

For example, the scenarios of VI would allow for multiple things to happen at once.

:eek: Oops...well you're right, VII could've easily been made into a movie. I wouldn't want one though. Hearing the characters with voices other than the ones I picture in my head would kill the effect.

[Happy]

Yeah, making up voices for FF characters is fun. I used to sit there and actually say them out loud when i was little.

from what i heard from the trailers, the Japanese have done a good job with the voices. not sure about the english one though... they ruined Tidus... we'll wait and see

[fatbandit]

Psh, Tidus had a good voice towards the end. Its the guy who plays Fry in Futurama. How can that be bad?

I would get my sister to read them to me :lol:

New Bodom sucks for the most part IMO. Too many stop-go riffs, very hardcore based, terrible lyrics, not power metal in the slightest anymore.

[Shadows]

I should break you in half and throw you in a wood chipper. :p

But really - I could go on and on about that. To me, new Bodom couldn't have been better considering the style they chose to use. They are no longer power metal, and remembering that is key to enjoying the new stuff. You have to stop comparing AYDY to Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper and consider it something all new - because that's what it is. I think the new album is incredible. The riffs are amazing, the solos are still orgasmic, the vocals are as bad as I thought they would be (but I'm getting used to them), the lyrics are much better than usual, and the keyboards are there in full force. This release is so original and unique - I've never heard anything like this from any band ever.

Hahah...that was kind of long. :)

[MAthiAS]

Points taken. I'm not saying its not enjoyable x 100000, because its catchy as hell. Especially the title track's chorus. Tracks 2 and 3 are the best I think.

[Shadows]

Yeah, it's definitely catchy as hell at any rate. I can't wait to see them play the new material live.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, it will be cool.

I hate school so much, no way I'll get to practice guitar much anymore on weekdays :( AP classes suck, never take them.

[Otherside]

Yeah, it will be cool.

Exactly. This place is one of the main reasons why I rarely ever do my homework :upset:

I probably won'r finish my homwork tonight, cause I have a **** load to do, and I'm on here all night.

Damn I suck. :upset:

[MAthiAS]

My biggest problem is going to sleep late, so I usually sleep for a few hours after school, in time that I would be practicing. I may try to get out of my Art I class for a study hall, even though its the only class I have without loads of crap (besides Law), and the teacher is hot as hell.

Did I mention my lunch starts at 1:30, so doing homework at lunch is not an option for most classes?

[Shadows]

I can't wait until second semester - I finally get a real study hall instead of first semester with a stupid Health class. I finally finished working on history - six ****ing hours. :upset: I hate my life. Luckily I already know I won't have any homework tomarrow.

[MAthiAS]

I won't have a study hall unless I drop Art for the year, or Economics next semester. Thing is, Art is do-nothing anyway, and Economics is required for graduation. Sucks so much.

I used the :smash: smiley as a kind of joke signature in the bass forum, and it stuck. I'm sure it confuses plenty, haha. Luke19boarder has the same with an :amaze: smiley, and people always ask him about that too...

Ah, I don't start my real lessons until Monday. I'm kind of dreading the amount of work I'll have to put in. I chose RE, Geology and Music, so I'm kind of hoping they'll be 'easy' options. But I have 15 2000 word essays for RE for starters, just in the first year. No real coursework for it though. No coursework in the first year for Geology, and the only coursework in Music is composing, so I get time to play my bass :cool:

I'm hoping it goes as planned :/

I don't come here much and I'm not sure if it's been talked about yet, but ff7acmovie.com has released the PS3 Technical Demo of the opening movie for FFVII. The graphics look superb, although Cloud's stupid hair will surely be missed by some.

Mmmmm...me loves Smashing Pumpkins. I thoguht they were the greatest band in the world for several years. :)

I've loved them for years as well. I think Billy is one of, if not the, best songwriters ever in popular (used in a most affectionate way) music. I need to get his solo album, I love Walking Shade.

I've beaten all the other people (clubs,jack,etc.) and I don't know how to get to the king. He has Gilgamesh card and i want it.

[MAthiAS]

Sorry, I didn't do that sidequest.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm trying to do every sidequest in VIII. I'm even gonna try the chocobo side quest :eek:

Last time I tried the chocobo side quest, I sucked at it. I'm sure nothings changed.

[MAthiAS]

Don't you need the Pocket Station?

[FlyingPaul_83]

you do?

[aMindlessMuse]

Mmmmm...me loves Smashing Pumpkins. I thoguht they were the greatest band in the world for several years. :)


yeah, when i was like 12, i wanted to be like D'arcy when i grew up...

[fatbandit]

You need a Pocketstation to play Chocobo World. The game was tedious and sucked though. I have VIII on the PC, and that comes with Chocobo World for the PC. If you have the Playstation version, there's no Chocobo World.

However, the PS version owns the PC one. My computer couldn't handle the music (I only had sound effects, no music. How dull.) or the cutscenes (they went hella awful looking).

:smash:

[fatbandit]

Ooh, while I'm on the subject, I know nothing at all about emulators. However, I really want a SNES emulator and a FFVI ROM, if anyone can supply me with one? I have an urge to play FFVI, but my Playstation is at someone's house, my FFVI is at someone else's house, and I don't want the stupid feckin' load times.

:smash:

I got FFVI on PC but i dont have a clue about emulators, either. My mate just chucked it on for me. I should ask him...

Just went to Dumfriese in Scotland, wasnt really a holiday, just a little break, it was fun, i just wish i had brought a guitar for the evenings..so boring.

Oh well, we went to an Ice cream factory..that makes up for it :D


Andyhainey, you need the GF Odin first, and when you fight Seifer in...disc 3 is it? Odin dies and Gilglamesh appears.

[Mister_Che]

how do u get the gf gilgamesh anyways?

You have to have Odin. When you fight Seifer at the end of the third disc, he manages to kill Odin and soon enough Gilgamesh finishes the fight. Unlike Odin, Gilgamesh will appear whenever the hell he feels like. He uses 4 legendary swords in his attacks:

1. Zantetsuken: Instant kill
2. Excaliber: Strong Holy damage
3. Excalipoor: 1 damage
4. Masamune: High physical damage

[andyhainey]

Gilgamesh was legendary in FF5

[DeusExMachina]

Hey everyone. Haven't posted in a couple days.

So, the H&H is done, huh? Well, I'm glad that Terra outlasted Vivi. Thank you MAthiAS, for healing Terra!

Why is it that Odin seems to be an evolving summon? He becomes Gilgamesh in FFVIII, and Raiden in FFVI. Any other instances of this? None come to mind for me right now.

[andyhainey]

is he? what is his purpose in ff5?

[Shadows]

When would Odin appear? Did something have to happen, or was it random like Gilgamesh?

It took me an hour to find drivers for my sound card which was a bum :(
My computer was slightly unprepared to handle XP, so it took days to transfer everything. Once we reinstalled everything and thought it was good to go, we got a weird virus. Everytime someone tried to log on it would automatically log off...meaning it was impossible to use the computer. It turns out we needed to update BIOS, which meant we had to wait to another few days for our neighbor to do that since everyone (except me) in my family is computer illiterate. It was a long, grueling battle. :(

Random, yeah. He always appeared for the Seifer fight though.

If you didn't get Odin, you don't get Gilgamesh then? So what happens in the Seifer fight?

[Shadows]

The fight probably just went on like any other one without the Gilgamesh ordeal. Odin/Gilgamesh annoyed me. As soon as I found an enemy I needed to mug they'd swoop in and kill it. :mad:

I have tried numerous methods, and never have got it to work. But i've not needed them thankfully

[FlyingPaul_83]

If the d-pad on my controller wasn't so loose and crappy, then I would be able to do blitzes.

[gitzplayer1021]

well, i haven't even gotten Sabin yet in my FFVI rom... it seems to have definitely lost its touch, which sucks. it leaves something to be desired when you play it on the computer.

[FlyingPaul_83]

yeah, It just doesn't feel the same, you don't really get INTO it. When you play it on a consle however, you have commited to sitting down and playing this game, and it's easier to get into the game.

I recall once I actually got into a rom, it was FFV.

[Shadows]

I know exactly what you mean. When it's a rough copy downloaded onto a PC, it doesn't deliver the full experience of the game. With a console you get the feeling of sitting down and really enjoying it. That's why I'd like to buy the old FF games for PS.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah I really want to get them for PS, or download them onto the Revolution.


NP:Nevermore-The River dragon has come :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

I'm with you guys all the way on that. Its really fun to sit down and play FF games for 3 hours, but if its on your comp, somehow its like a time killing activity.

[Shadows]

^^^ I think that's why I've tried but failed to seriously play an FF game the past several times. I attempt to really get into the game but it feelis more like I'm playing some crappy freeware game just to keep me busy.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah. Even console games somewhat lose their touch with me, because I for some reason feel guilty for playing them. Like I should be doing something more productive with my time, and because I'm not 7 years old anymore. Its really depressing.

[Shadows]

:eek: Thank God I don't get that awful feeling. I miss playing video games. I bought one several dats ago but haven't even gotten a chance to play it because I'm so freaking busy with school.

[MAthiAS]

Unlike I predicted, I haven't done much schoolwork at all. I come home, sleep for a few hours, eat, then practice guitar til like 11. Then I'll just chill and do my homework, and get to sleep around 2.

[Shadows]

That sounds like me. Except I'm doing homework and simultaneously posting on the boards while you're sleeping. I'm trying my best to keep guitar from falling by the wayside, but it's tough.

At least I get to revel in the suffering of others as we all take the AP tests at the same time around the country.

[MAthiAS]

I take my AP tests next year :p

With guitar, its hard to keep up. Firstly I've got less time to practice, and sometimes I'll oversleep and skip dinner, or not being as tired, and consequently sleeping later, and screwing me. Happened today, at least I've got the weekend with little homework.

Give this a listen, I think its pretty good save one minor mistake I made. Just did it now.

[Lionheart1827]

Yeah. Even console games somewhat lose their touch with me, because I for some reason feel guilty for playing them. Like I should be doing something more productive with my time, and because I'm not 7 years old anymore. Its really depressing.

I agree. When I was little, I used to play FFVI for maybe 6 hours straight a day. Now I feel all kinda guilty when I play for more than an hour, like "wow ive been sitting here playing this, what the hell"

I think one of the reasons I feel this way is because of college and work so I have limited free time so I feel like I'm using it unwisely. :thumb:

:upset: you're really good.

How long have you been playing?

[MAthiAS]

Long enough that I will never live up to the skill anyone else would have for the number of years. :(

[FlyingPaul_83]

That sounds like me. Except I'm doing homework and simultaneously posting on the boards while you're sleeping. I'm trying my best to keep guitar from falling by the wayside, but it's tough.

.


same here, I never finish my homework cuz I'm posting on here while doing it, and it gets too late for me to stay up and finish it.

[DeusExMachina]

I'm blessed/cursed with a pretty good work ethic. So, I do my homework right when I get home, which often results in me working from 2:45 to about 10:00 at night, with food breaks in the middle. And then I'm so exhausted, I just collapse. But, it's senior year, so after december or so I don't have to worry about anything!

That was a really good recording MAthiAS. I liked it. I wouldn't have the guts to put up anything I recorded, I'm paranoid people will make fun of it.

[MAthiAS]

I'm the opposite, I'm not goal oriented at all, and I procrastinate as much as possible, often into the actual class where something is due.

I swear as soon as the record button is pressed, my fingers become retarded.

[Shadows]

Are you saying that someone else who has been playing the same amount as time as you is most likely better?

I know what you mean - I can play sometihng fine, but once the recording starts it's like starting all over.

[MAthiAS]

Are you saying that someone else who has been playing the same amount as time as you is most likely better?
Yeah. But for my age, not many people have. I started at 6, and didn't take it seriously until 14.

Course a lot of it has to do with the type of music. Not like I was listening to Vivaldi at 6.

I used to be the same way about work. But starting around halfway through sophomore year, I started working harder, because I had so many things to juggle. Now more than ever, I really need to focus and do everything proactively if I want to survive to see christmas.

I've tried recording a couple times, but every time I play terribly.

[MAthiAS]

Well I'll see what happens this year (sophomore) I guess. My classes mostly suck, but for some reason I think I'll enjoy the year more than last year.

Recording is tough like that. I plan to buy a PODxt and record every day, just to get practice doing it. Right now its a real hassle using my amp's line out.

And I just d/led Billy Corgan's solo album. Sweet.

Hey Mathias, I use a PodXT. If you do get one, let me know if you want some help with it. I can send over some killer patches. I actually JUST finished my summer instrumental, 3 month long process. It came to 8:24, if you want to hear it, let me know, I'll post a yousendit/soundclick link. It was originally supposed to be a concept to the song, different times of the song was a different section(kinda like Dream Theater in SDoIT and Scenes From a Memory) :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

I love the Smashing Pumpkins. Is Billy Corgan's solo album good?

[MAthiAS]

I'll give it a listen, sounds interesting.

What do you think of your PODxt? I don't really like the other Line 6 stuff I've heard/used/owned, but so many credible people swear by the POD. And it'll almost certainly be better than my current recording setup.

Its not as rock or guitar oriented, but I think its very cool. Its like SP's chill stuff, which IMO is their best stuff anyway.

Now I need to get Zwan...

What makes the PODxt different from a POD 2.0? I got a 2.0 from a friend who never used theirs, but I can't really use it to record.

I think its great. I used to use an RP200 and the POD definately blows it away. The metal patch that I'm using now is great. I highly recommend that if you're into metal, to get the metal pack as soon as you can because there's an awesome Recto patch that a user named VTM on the line6 forums made, its an awesome patch.

:amaze: Just listened to that song, Lionheart. It's very impressive. Everyone here is better than me at guitar :upset:

One piece of advice, however, if you're still going to edit the song at all. The last section, Legend of the Warrior. It seems a tad monotonous, because you're going to the same note at the end of every arpeggio. If you made a melody out of your climax tones, it would make that part a bit more interesting. Other than that, though, the entire song is very well done, and very creative.

Yeah I know, if its one thing that I hate about my guitar playing is I never learned chords or anything related to theory, I kinda just played what I felt. I suck at acoustic playing, too. :thumb:

Thanks for listening and pointing that out though. :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Alright, writing down my thoughts as I listen.

Cool intro, very Opeth style riffing.

I can just taste the DT influence just after it. Cool lead, doesn't stand out too much though honestly. Try raising it in the mix a bit I'd say. Lead tone is awesome.

Really love the part at like 4:00. The riff after it (the one that's been repeated a few times) seems a little our of place though. Awesome part after that.

Sweet part at 6:50, and I like the variation to the riff before it. Again though, it just sounds out of place to me. Maybe it doesn't to you, we've all got different ears.

Outro part sounds screams Metallica instrumental to me.

Impressions after my first listen, I'd say maybe half or a bit more of the riffs strike me as great, killer material. The other half sound good, but don't jump out at me as something special. I'll say though that you did a really good job of moving the piece forward throughout, and its way better than anything I've ever written/recorded.

How were the drums done? And I didn't really hear any bass... was there one, or was it low in the mix? I'd say add some bass melodies to it man, I love that kind of stuff.

Overall very good job, keep it up. And I can tell the effort you put into this thing man, bravo. :thumb:

Edit: Oh yeah, I don't know why I didn't hear the power metal influence the first time around.

I'm a total theory nerd. If you have a tab of that outro part (I'm a bit too lazy/unskilled to figure it out by ear) and send it to me, I can help you with it. If you want.

[MAthiAS]

I totally respect people who know theory. I focus more on numbers and intervals, at least I am right now. Better than shapes... which I used to do.

I love inventing weird chords.

Ok-Drums were done in fruityloops. I SUCK at producing final mixes, I am not good with that stuff, so either I put stuff loud enough so you can hear, but it clips, or I lower the tracks but then they get lost in the mix. :upset: No bass, since I dont have a bass to play. It was originally gonna have my friend on bass, but he lost interest in this so I took it upon myself to go full out guitar. Thanks for listening and pointing out stuff. :thumb:

By the way, what were your guys favorite part of the song? I'm just trying to get some opinions. :D

[DeusExMachina]

Chords are a lot of fun. I really love jazzy sounding chords. My favorite chord is probably the maj9 chord.

Yeah, the drums seem a little too Portnoy for my liking lol.

If you don't have a bass, you can do what I do then. Neck pickup, clean tone, bass at max, mids at 12 o clock, treble at 0, tone knob at zero. Good to go. :lol:

Chords are a lot of fun. I really love jazzy sounding chords. My favorite chord is probably the maj9 chord.
I'll usually take a power chord and fool with the notes and whatnot. Flat 5th, sharp 5th, 1-5-7, 1-5-flat 7, etc. Sounds really cool to me, and I'll have the bassline follow with major and minor thirds, 7ths, 5ths, whatever is missing from the chord, or colors well.

Not yet, but I'm going to get a fretless bass for my birthday, which is in less than a month. I'm excited! :D I've wanted a bass for awhile now.

FlyingPaul: Start with learning basic (major/minor) scales, key signatures, and basic triad construction. Once you've done that, learn more advanced scales, chords, and harmonization. However, after the basics, try and tailor what you're learning to the style you play. Like, if you're a blues guitarist, you probably won't be using the altered scale. And if you're a metal guitarist, you probably won't be using the lydian scale. If this wasn't specific enough, or if you need more help, feel free to ask for help on here or on AIM (deusexmachina107).

what kind???
I'm not sure yet, I'm trying to find a good one. But, right now I'm leaning towards a fender jazz fretless, as they're supposed to be good, and they're much more reasonable than other fretless basses I've found. Do you have any suggestions?

nah, the fender jazz is a good choice. I personally <3 ibanez, but ive never played one of their fretlesses. Jazz basses are respectable +1

[fatbandit]

Yush, I play a 7 string bass. It is rather cool. Currently looking for a Mrs. Bass though, haha.

[Shadows]

I personally <3 ibanez
:mad: :smash:

Sorry, but I'm anti-Ibanez. :) Fender Jazz basses are very nice, but I don't have any experience with fretless.

[DeusExMachina]

Ok, I think I'm going to stick with the fender jazz fretless then.

I'm not a big fan of ibanez instruments, but they do make good distortion pedals.

[aMindlessMuse]

meh, for me and my tiny hands, the ibaneZ necks are wonderful. I have custom emgs in my sr800... it is heaven

[DeusExMachina]

sr800? What's that?

Also, this is a noobish question, but what makes a bass amp necessary? Can I just plug a bass into a guitar amp?

[Shadows]

No. I strongly adive against that. Bass amps are made specially to handle the low fequency signal of a bass. Guitar amps are not. Plugging a bass into a guitar amp would very well blow the amp. Also, trying to play bass in a guitar amp or guitar in a bass amp always produces a terrible, terrible sound.

I've played many Ibanezes but I could never see what was so great about them. I always thought they looked cheap and had mediocre sound. Meh, whatever I guess. I'm content with my Jackson.

[fatbandit]

Bass amps can handle guitar.

Guitar amps are often used in a lot of pro bass setups for a bit of added high end, but never rely on one as your main setup. High register stuff at low volume may well be okay for a while, but I wouldn't suggest it.

If you do play both through the same amp, I'd siggest something along the lines of a keyboard amp.

:smash:

[DeusExMachina]

Oy vey. This is looking to be a bigger hole in the pocket than I thought. Are there any decent bass amps for reasonable (around $300, I guess) prices? I don't need a monstrous amp or anything, just something to get by on. Preferably a tube amp.

[fatbandit]

Right. Ask yourself if this is a gigging amp, or a home practice one. If its a home one, look into the Roland Cube 30 (my recommendation). Plenty loud enough until you're practicing with a band/gigging.

If you're looking for a big gigging amp, you're going to want at least a 100W methinks, and for that price, look second hand.

:smash:

[DeusExMachina]

Thank you very much for the recommendations! Highly appreciated. Time for me to do a bit of research.

[Shadows]

Oy vey. This is looking to be a bigger hole in the pocket than I thought. Are there any decent bass amps for reasonable (around $300, I guess) prices? I don't need a monstrous amp or anything, just something to get by on. Preferably a tube amp.
I suggest you check around eBay. If it's a home practice then then $300 isn't bad. But if you're looking for something with outrageous power or something to gig with, than $300 would be extremely tight.

I'm quite a n00b when it comes to brands and models of amps, so unfortunately I can't help you.

[fatbandit]

Well, look for a Peavey? Often quite easy to find second hand, and are reliable workhorses for the most part.

But yes, the biggest factor is what you're going to be using it for. If you can narrow that down, I can help more.

:smash:

[DeusExMachina]

I have a Peavey classic 30 guitar amp right now, and I love it.

I'm not going to be using the amp for gigging much (not yet, at least), but I'd like to have something with decent power. The classic 30, for instance, is a great practice amp, but it has also got enough power for small gigs.

[fatbandit]

Right. Any amp is enough for a small gig. ANY. As long as the venue uses a PA system, you can mic up/DI the amp to it, and the soundguy does the rest.

For home use, a small amp would also be fine.

Its only in band practice situations, where there's no sound tech, no huge PA, etc, that you'll need the extra noise.

Its always nice to have a bigger amp though :)

:smash:

[MAthiAS]

[DeusExMachina]

Is the Roland Cube 30 a tube amp? I don't know much about bass and bass amplification, but in terms of guitar, I really don't like playing on solid state. Tube just has such better tone.

[MAthiAS]

Is the Roland Cube 30 a tube amp?
No, but its one of the best SS amps out there. My recording was done with my Cube 15.

At least its good for metal, I don't know what kind of tone you're looking for.

[Shadows]

I have yet to truly experience playing on a tube amp. :( I like my amp though. My friends tell me it sounds very tube-like for a SS.

[fatbandit]

The Roland amps are all very good, and mine has a tube simulator. Obviously not as good as the real thing, but it adds some warmth and stuff anyway.

The thing is, with bass amps nowadays, there is sometimes only the tiniest difference in tone between SS and tube, with the technology in some of these amps.

And my Roland also has a tremendous amount of tonal versatility. The Cube has a bunch of inbuilt effects if you're into that stuff too.

:smash:

[Brew]

My amp goes upto 12 :)

Its a Behringer UltraBass BX600 (60watt)

[Happy]

My amp's kinda loud. 100 watt Marshall Valvestate. I forget the numbers n' stuff after it but it's old, they have a different name now.

[fatbandit]

Behringer are cheap, especially second hand. I've not played one, but I've had several mixed reviews. Some say no problems, but an equal number seem to say it broke easily and quickly. I guess its all down to the amp. If you buy Behringer, I'd definitely try it first.

:smash:

[Shadows]

My amp is quite loud. I love it. The distortion is also great for metal. My only complaint is that the clean channel could be clearer, but it's still **** good for a SS.

[fatbandit]

Mines a 160W (but is louder than the average 160W) 1x12 bass amp. When its good, tis very good, but sometimes it has awful days :(

i love tube amps! i'd go with a cab, i have an ampeg setup that i LOVE. but yeah, ive played my bass through the exact peavey you have, it sounded like absolute shiznet, basses through guitar amps dont work.

[DeusExMachina]

Tube > SS. What kind of amp do you have, AMM (too lazy to write out name. Plus, it's kind of awkward to refer to someone as aMindlessMuse. It's a cool name, but I just keep thinking of it as a single word, and imagining myself walking up to someone on the street and being like "Hey, aMindlessMuse, how are you!" Yeah.)

I was definitely not a FFVII whore when I got into FF. FFVI all the way!

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'd consider my self a FFVIII whore.

Speaking of FFVIII, isn't The extreme the coolest song you've ever heard?

Of course tube > SS, but there are a handful of excellent SS amps out there today as well.

I am a VII whore (lol), and still think its the best of the series. But Tactics and VI are just a hair behind it.

Paul, remind me to listen to that song later. I've got SP on in the other room and can't bring myself to turn it off.

I like your usertitle. It amuses me.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I like your usertitle. It amuses me.


why? did I spell it wrong or something?

Mathias, whats an sp?

[Shadows]

I believe by SP he meant "Smashing Pumpkins".

Your user title is a little funny. You didn't spell it wrong, it's just funny that you chose to pose as another person instead of dubbing or ranking yourself something.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I didn't know what to put. :upset:

I was thinking FF crew master or something along those lines.

maybe FF crew puppeteer, or FF crew puppet master.

[DeusExMachina]

Don't change it, I like it as it is. When I said it amuses me, I meant that in a good way.

Smashing Pumpkins are fscking hot. Billy Corgan rocks my socks.

[Shadows]

You misspelled "****ing". Billy Corgan is extremely talented. I'm a little unsure about his decision to re-unite SP.

[DeusExMachina]

No, I didn't mispell it. It's fscking. That's from some webcomic, I'm not sure which. My friend started spelling it that way all the time, and it kind of rubbed off on me.

[Shadows]

It makes you look incoherent.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, I am. But that's besides the point.

****ing. Theeeeere we go.

[Shadows]

At least you spelled it right that time.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I love the snare in SeeD. :lol:

so awesome.

Wow, that's hot. I want it.

[Shadows]

That is certainly a gigantic amp. Puts mine to shame. :upset: It's okay though, mine beats out any guitar amp you'll ever find in terms of wattage.

[MAthiAS]

I didn't know what to put.
I'd suggest like FF Crew Manipulator, or FF Crew User. But I think its cool the way it is as well.

I'd like to see it happen, just so I can see them live. But I'm not so sure it'd happen, and if they did reunite, the new material probably couldn't live up to the old.
I believe by SP he meant "Smashing Pumpkins".
Yes, I talk about them a lot lol. Its a shame Frail is gone :(

[Shadows]

That's what I'm worried about. The old material was amazing, and the new stuff is more than likely going to suck. :(

[MAthiAS]

But I like his solo album, so I don't know. It'd still own to see them playing the old stuff live though. My brother was lucky enough to see them back in the day.

[DeusExMachina]

Even if the new material sucks, you can still like them for the old stuff. That isn't diminished at all. I'd rather have them get back together, even if the new album is almost guaranteed to suck, simply because I'd love to see them live. Besides, a bad new album doesn't hurt, but a good new album would be amazing.

[FlyingPaul_83]

No way thats listy :lol:

[Shadows]

They should release Melon Collie again, but give it a different name and try to pass it off as something new. That album is so good I would buy it again.

[aMindlessMuse]

i love the pumpkins... and ya know, everyone predicted the new green day album would flop, and look where it is. There is hope for the pumpkins yet...
