hey guys.

Tryxx 02-10-2005 09:21 PM

Anyone wanna tell me why pinch harmonics are freakishly hard for me to play?

rybass 02-10-2005 09:32 PM

I can only do them on guitar.

Tryxx 02-10-2005 09:34 PM

I don't play guitar, and I'm a pretty average pick player anyway... I just want to be able to do it. Tell me, do you hit it with your index finger then pick, or pick then thumb?

rybass 02-10-2005 09:37 PM

I use my thumb and pick at the same time.

rybass 02-10-2005 09:37 PM

Whoops, double posted....

Tryxx 02-10-2005 09:41 PM

Double posts are fun...

Hmm, I thought there had to be like a mili-second of a pause inbetween...

bottlerocket 02-10-2005 09:42 PM

:wave:

How do you pinch harmonic with fingers? :amaze: I've never attempted.

rybass 02-10-2005 09:43 PM

Well there probably is. I don't know the whole technique I just kind of do it.

Tryxx 02-10-2005 09:45 PM

I'm using a pick...for fun. I think with your fingers it would be more of an actual pick and twist, but I can't even do it the traditional way, so that's probably wrong.

I'm trying on the octaves on my 8 string now.

Baldie 02-10-2005 09:57 PM

is it possible to run a seperate head into a combo amp and bypass the preamp/head in the combo and make it a 'halfstack'. ?

bottlerocket 02-10-2005 10:15 PM

Like, plug a head into a regular amp with that special three-pronged chord?

ridethelightning 02-10-2005 10:16 PM

oh. i was just wondering, well my guitarist is. if theres a way he can run a head into a combo/ and use that speaker.

Jamie 02-10-2005 10:16 PM

hes not from england. Its only 4:15 am here!

Jamie 02-10-2005 10:18 PM

you would need to check the combo. On my behringer bx1200, theres a normal cable that goes from the cab to the head so i could use the cab for a head

ridethelightning 02-10-2005 10:20 PM

nawh like, he wants to get a head, and use the speaker in the combo he has now.
its a marshall mgfx100.

bottlerocket 02-10-2005 10:26 PM

^ mgfx100 or mgdfx100?

Spector=meh. I have yet to find one I like. I do LURRRRRVVV it's body though....

ridethelightning 02-10-2005 10:33 PM

spector euro lx 4.

PaulSimonon 02-10-2005 10:34 PM

/Point taken.....

PaulSimonon 02-10-2005 10:36 PM

I've been leaning towards the American Fender Deluxe P, one of those Ibanez SRX's, a custom Stambaugh, a custom Winters, or a Warwick.

ridethelightning 02-10-2005 10:36 PM

good. its so sexy.

ummmm maybe a used flea? i dnno how american prices are. what are you looking at?

PaulSimonon 02-10-2005 10:37 PM

I've never played a Flea, maybe I should try out my friend's brother's.....

ridethelightning 02-10-2005 10:38 PM

screw warwick.
i like the deluxe p, but its a fender.
out of those choices, get the custom winters. i mean, it would be YOUR bass. with exactyl waht you want. you could probably get a real good one for 1300 too.

PaulSimonon 02-10-2005 10:39 PM

Well, if I go custom, it's either Winters or Stambaugh.... I still don't know what I really want.

PaulSimonon 02-10-2005 10:41 PM

bottlerocket 02-10-2005 10:44 PM

^ The left horn has to be brought out more and filed down and the right one needs to be fatter. Other than that, mmmmm...;)

Look into Schecter? Carvin makes some awesome custom basses, too. I <3 Carvin.

/dreams of an LB76

Check out the LB70 in Claro figured walnut with a humbucker and J PUP.
