I was really surprised about that

balmy vortex
#

I stopped caring about what he plays tbh

lethal fractal
#

I was surprised when I saw the pick he plays it's one of my least favorite thick picks

@untold lava try and deduce what im doing from this lil vid

like not even trying to speed cus itll ruin the form

balmy vortex
#

i wish i could play it on a neck pickup cuz thats a cheat code for sweep picking lmao

primal parrot
#

sounds the cleanest atleast

#

using delay or reverb can make it sound much better too

balmy vortex
#

the video was mainly there to show what my pick is doing tho lol

sorry mate

Thinking of changing out the black winters not too much of a fan don't really like the lead sound and rhythm is okay I thought I woukd like the mid heaviness since dimarzio dreamcatcher has mid and bass heavy that I like but this one doesn't do it for me too well

Thats a pretty guitar

1996 ibanez. Rgr620 neck and rg670 body

Thoughts on LTD BK600

  • The Neck felt great for me. I liked it as much as I did the Prophecy.

  • Fret spacing was perfect for me. Between the Ibanez and the Prophecy I liked this one the most.

  • String spacing was a bit too close for my liking. It almost got in my way at times. In this respect, I preferred the Prophecy to the BK600.

  • Satin finish on the neck and body is always an A plus for me.

  • The default pickups sounded fine to me, perfectly usable and I like em. Although for a 1k guitar they could've put in his signature lace pickups and not just some Duncans.

  • The switches were straight foward, two volumes and a pickup switch. Naicu.

  • The frets were very well rounded damn near as well as the Prophecy.

  • Fret radius was perfect, couldn't be happier.

  • The biggest downside for me is that I couldn't balance it right. For some odd reason, the body wanted to keep falling off my lap. It was very annoying even for a small guy like me. The saving grace though is that the neck just felt so good.

Final Verdict - 8/10. There were very few things I hated about the BK600 and for 1k it felt like an ESP made LP. It does the chugs and weedly wees well. That being said there were some factors that knocked it down a peg for me personally. But if your into LPs, this is an amazing one to have.

Rgr620 body, rg670 neck*

#

Ibanez names confusing me💀

balmy vortex
#

Its not that bad tbh

#

Rg, rga, rgd, az, frm, ict body shapes

#

Rgr is an rg with a reverse headstock

hoary vector
#

I can remember like rg5320c, rg8520, rg8570

balmy vortex
#

Rgt is a neck thru rh

#

Those 8520 and 8570 are j customs

I prob had a brain fart I prob thought I typed one for the body and the other for neck but had it for the wrong name

Those bout to be even more expensive

Rg8820 in black quartz

#

About 3499

hoary vector
#

Not as expensive as I would've thought

balmy vortex
#

Yeah for sure, i am allowed to share this one but the other one we're getting is still classified

balmy vortex

#

I still haven't tried j custom yet but ik I would like the neck since it's wizard neck

balmy vortex
#

The super wizard AS is stupid fun imo

hoary vector
#

I tried a pia and quality wise was very nice so I'm assuming j custom is stleast of equal quality

balmy vortex
#

The regular one is always great and you cant go wrong

balmy vortex
#

Weve had all types of prestige and j customs but also as far as japan custom shop ibanez's

hoary vector
#

I'm obsessed with ibanez. But the selection of ibanez quite small in guitar center tho seems better now than a few years back

#

Before there wasn't even an ibanez section

If youre anywhere near boston come to the other store of my job

#

eh im getting one for the neck tbh so

balmy vortex
#

It only become ergonomic if you apply the right posture and seating position or strap height for it to be ergonomic

#

Im saying this cuz i used to own a strandberg and theyre overall not that great as they seem to be

cyan tiger
#

and im buying a 8 string so i dont want something that weighs like a monstertruck either

#

either way, im addicted to the neck shape. work outrageously well for me so

#

also this reminded me, im specifically getting as said a 8 string, with multiscale, and a headless guitar so naturaly, if that wasnt the case id ABSOLUTLEY get either a japanese ibby or any other boutique guitar.

#

japanese ibbys are beautifull tho lmao

#

and from what im aware there are no multiscale 8 string ibanez guitars right? lol

primal parrot

also ibanez's headstocks on 8 strings look ridiculous

For sure, it may need some work, frets being levels sharp edges softened and what not just a proper setup then will be nice.

Thoughts on the Schecter Nick Johnston Signature:

  • That neck was glorious. So buttery smooth and satiny. It felt like a extremely refined Strat neck.

  • It sounded just as good. All the chime you could want with all the Stratty type Philip Sayce digging in stuff from the neck pickup to some raunchy stuff with the bridge. They sounded so detailed even on a Blackstar that it was just great.

  • Controls were simple. One volume, one tone, 5 way switch. That I can appreciate.

  • Seeing as it's a Strat. It felt great to hold for me (I love Strats.)

  • Frets were smooth as butter. The edges needed to be rounded slightly more but that's just a nit pick.

  • Fret and String spacing were perfect and never got in the way.

  • Added note. The input jack is on the side and not where it is normally on a Strat. THANK YOU!!!

Verdict: 10/10. My first 10 score. 10 does not mean this is a perfect guitar. It simply means it set the bar for how I will judge all others of its type. For Strats at 700 to 800 buckeroonies, this is by far the BEST I have ever played. Well done Nick Johnston.

# peak quest From my guitar, into ma vox amp into the PC with audacity

yeah precisely the thing i thought. is the amp digital? unbalanced raw guitar signal really messes the sound, you require DI box to decent sounding if your amp is analog, if it’s digital you don’t need it but something tells me if it was you would have better tone. for example i would use DAW and guitar emulators, considering in 2025 there’s a whole shitload of libraries that can produce good sound

im wondering more about the playability regarding the neck and construction, intonation and tuning stability

Majority of my friends (I myself as well) swear by Schecter.

Co-worker of mine strictly records with an Elite 7 and his Schecter C-8 Multi-scale SLS Evil Twin

Try both if you can then decide

tardy glacier
#

oh thats interesting

#

two completely different answers

#

yeah true its a thing about trying

#

but sadly in my country is really hard to get hands on such instruments to actually try them

#

but yea i might drive it to the capital to try the ibby out someday

#

and order the schecter to test it out from thomann

i do like the schecter pickups more than the dimarzios on the ibanez

which finish Elite 7 does he have_

unfortunately the bcb is in stock within like 7-9 weeks tho

And on a related note, who are some guitarists, not that you took inspiration from, but rather whether self taught or not, that you learned from?

tardy glacier
open fjord
tardy glacier
#

both writing and riffing wise

#

and learnt so many different techiques from their songs regarding riffing

#

absolute mad duo

tardy glacier
# open fjord Lol why

syn, matt in OK tier is diabolical lmfao and even tho im not that big of a fan of kirk's solos either he should be legendary at minimum imo regarding what he has brought into the guitar world in general. Same goes to dave and marty id say ngl. and iirc there were a few others i kinda thought he rather ranked off of like ''bias'' no? but yea i guess

#

that my opinion

open fjord
tardy glacier
#

the numbers are age i assume?

#

but thats a solid list man

#

hell yeah

open fjord
tardy glacier
#

Relatable

#

but thats because i havent really bothered or had the motivation to learn shredding

#

so instead i just opt for tappy/shreddy riffs if possible 💀

open fjord
#

There are some guitarists that have snuck in there that I've learned small amounts from like James Fukai (Trust Company), Dave Baksh (Sum41), and Mike Einziger (Incubus). But that ones I've listed are the major ones.

open fjord
lethal jewel
#

many more

lethal jewel
#

so now i am shit at playing riffs lol

tardy glacier
# open fjord Yeah I can't do tappy shreddy riffs kek.

Comes with time and just need to get used to that specific style, after practising basically only bfw for nearly 1.5 years i believe it would only make sense to work then, but even them im still shit at it myself LMAO

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

Notnso much..

#

LMAO

tardy glacier
#

No social media so it was harder to rwach out

lethal jewel
#

i have no idea how people practice and have time to do other things

tardy glacier
#

But wayyy less competitiob

tardy glacier
#

Like do they have a life or

tardy glacier
#

😭

lethal jewel
#

i mean school + gym + guitar + learning for tests

tardy glacier
#

Especially when shit like tim henson, ichika nito etc came around

#

Now you see 7 year olds sweeping or playibf polyphia pwrfectly

tardy glacier
#

Work on the side as well

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

I infact have never had any excercise or practise routines

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

All of my skill has come from learning songs lmao

lethal jewel
#

only recently i started practicing

tardy glacier
#

Which riff

tardy glacier
#

Mr before i even knew how to palm mute started trying to learn metallicas The Day That Never Comes

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

Was quite the experience as a beginner

lethal jewel
#

i mean couldnt play the whole thing

#

but tried my best

#

then i went straight into megadeth

#

and then straight into infant annihilator

tardy glacier
#

Oh damn thats a tough one

#

Respect for that

#

LMAO

lethal jewel
#

their newest material is pretty much impossible

tardy glacier
#

tardy glacier
lethal fractal
#

Yall yap a lot

lethal jewel
#

but crazy hard

open fjord
#

This is the shit I do.

#

On a good day lol

lethal jewel
#

wish i had time for making songs

open fjord
tardy glacier
#

I love it man

#

Tight as hell

#

Whats ur rig and tone?

#

The tone is real nice

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

Like what guitar and amp/plugin?

lethal jewel
open fjord
# tardy glacier The tone is real nice

Thanks! That's just the Neural Mesa Mark IIC+ with a custom GGD IR I was using at the time. I switched to ML Sound Lab with MIKKO 2 making my custom IRs.

#

And I was using a LTD SN-200 with the stock pups.

#

The rest is just mixing and shit.

open fjord
lethal jewel
#

it sometimes takes me 2 days to figure a riff out

open fjord
open fjord
lethal jewel
#

i need to lock in and finish my song

#

rn its a rough sketch

#

but i will record it properly after i get everything figured out

open fjord
# lethal jewel lollll

Granted imo they aren't very good but they're fun to play and tbh that's what counts for me. If a song isn't fun to play then it's pointless.

tardy glacier
#

Its completely unmixed and raw btw

#

Ibcludinf the drums plugins

#

Just the stock sound

#

No bass guitar

tardy glacier
#

And thats when i tried to write a solo for the first time. The breakdown is included as well. From the same track

#

Kinda ass but i dig it

#

LMAO

tardy glacier
tardy glacier
tardy glacier
#

Wish i had more time n motivation for that rn

open fjord
# tardy glacier Oh damn, solid as hell!

Thanks brotha! I ran that setup for about 4 years before I switched to ML. Only reason I switched IRs is cuz the GGD ones were way too bright for my tinnitus to handle that I simply had enough.

tardy glacier
tardy glacier
#

Nr 1 tip what i find abt music is

#

To create smth youd actively listen to yourseld

#

Just write for yourself and be your own "biggest fan" in that matter

open fjord
tardy glacier
#

Can make shit really annoyign with tinnitus and loss of good hearing

#

Thankfully i started running ear pro when i jammed with my friends

#

And at concerts at well

#

Falling asleep with tinnitus wasnt very fun after those 💀

open fjord
# tardy glacier Thats a shame

Yeah. It was awesome but as a result my right ear doesn't hear as well and high frequencies above 20k annoy the fuck outta me. But since I was drummer before I was a guitarist, I already had a little tinnitus so I sorta was used to it.

#

It didn't really annoy me.

#

Although sleeping with no fan on feels strange sometimes cuz I need that white noise. Living in NYC for your whole life does that XD

lethal jewel
open fjord
lethal jewel
#

but its a really rough sketch lol

open fjord
#

I had no idea what to do so the last night before it was due I sat my ass down and made it in a single night.

lethal jewel
#

just needs vocals

tardy glacier
#

Can get used to everything

#

Theres a sayin here

#

A person can adjust to anything, even to hanging, shakes his legs a little at first but after a bit stops it

#

💀

tardy glacier

#

I've since switched to EZD3 cuz I like being able to switch my kit pieces.

#

Plus I've gotten enough confidence to mix drums on my own.

lethal jewel
#

I use free krimh drums cuz i dont want to spend a lot of money on plugins

#

they do the job pretty well

open fjord
lethal jewel
#

its great

#

i wish i had to make songs to pass my exams

#

its better than physics

open fjord
lethal jewel
#

i mean

#

i love physics

#

but playing guitar

#

is better

open fjord

I need some help with how I should run my pedal board in the right order. I have a tuner, wah, eq, distortion, loop and noise gate/suppression. Could someone help me in the order from guitar to Amp thanks

hexed igloo
#

his choice of effects is unrivalled

#

i would hop in and share smth ive got but i ac dont have anything 💀

#

besides one or two very brief ideas

tardy glacier
#

Bro i feel scammed lmao, I ordered mine for 750EUR a week ago, theyve dropped the price on it to 535 EUR???

#

thankfully im sending it back anyway but
i wonder what could be the cause to that

peak quest
#

Got a new amp

#

As u can see it chugs quite alot

#

(added built in chorus and room reverb)

lethal fractal
#

Reminds me when I ruined one of those small amps

wise shadow
#

how many watts

peak quest
#

It's not powerful, but I have this too

wise shadow
#

i hate my damn amp

peak quest
peak quest
#

It's loud for 5 watts...

wise shadow

#

its a pretty unknown one out there roland ga112

peak quest
#

Pathfinder 10

wise shadow
#

i got to make it sound good after 2 years

peak quest
#

I need a new guitar

wise shadow
#

i need some cheap metal amps second hand

#

a not too big or small one

peak quest
#

U can use it with battery's too

wise shadow
#

could be peavey ,marshall valvestate series or crate

wise shadow
peak quest
#

I need a high gain marshall

wise shadow
#

i think mesa amps sound the best out there

#

also marshall valvestate series are relatively cheap and sounds like beast

peak quest
#

And a Roland jazz chorus

#

The Metallica one

wise shadow
#

i think second hand old combo amps are the way if you pick the right ones

peak quest
#

Like both of ma voxes

wise shadow
#

but man that amp sounds very good

peak quest
#

I'm playing both metal and clean stuff so I want both

peak quest
wise shadow
#

yes

peak quest
#

It does I love the sound

wise shadow
#

my amp can get cleans done very well thats why i dont need another

lethal fractal
peak quest
lethal fractal
#

I'd have to double check what I got laying around I don't even remember nothing very nice just medium sized combo amps

peak quest
#

It's enough for me

wise shadow
lethal fractal
#

I have a Vox can't remember the model a Line six, an old peavey amp and one other dinky thing.

They just sit around

wise shadow
#

may you send peavey and the other dinky

lethal fractal
wise shadow

The peavey is ass...

# lethal jewel

still going back to this and thinking ''cant riff'' like holy shit this is the tightest fucking riffing ive heard in a while, the one after the first sweeping section intro is such crazy picking like holy fuck. like not only are the sweeps butter giga clean its just insane bro. how long have you been playing for?

tardy glacier
tardy glacier
#

YEARS?

#

BRO

#

#

HOW ARE YOU THIS TECHNICALLY INSANE?

#

ive been playin for like 3 years ass well

#

and i cant even do 1/4 of the shit you pull

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

💀

#

thats insane man

tardy glacier
#

i played basically strictly only rammstein for my first 1.5 years of guitar or so

#

💀

#

so that could be the issue..

lethal jewel
#

i am lost lol

balmy vortex
#

also probably thousands of hours of practice

tardy glacier
#

theyre pretty simple actually once you dive into them a bit more

lethal jewel
#

but i have so much work to do

#

that i can only practice on weekends

#

but on weekends

#

i go crazy

#

pretty much whole day of practice

balmy vortex
balmy vortex
tardy glacier
#

or just go meshuggah bleed

#

lmfao

lethal jewel
#

go to like 83%

tardy glacier
balmy vortex
#

bleed is a very specific technique for alternate picking tbh

tardy glacier
#

it is

#

can it be

#

even considered

#

a gallop by traditional terms

balmy vortex
#

no

lethal jewel
balmy vortex
#

its called a herta and its done fully alternate picked

tardy glacier
#

ah

#

interesting

#

remember seeing a guy on ig

#

playing it but

#

he wasnt even moving his wrist or arm

#

just his 2 fingers

#

holding the pick

#

💀

lethal jewel
#

i’ll just stick to three bastards and disembodied tyrant

tardy glacier
#

balmy vortex

balmy vortex

lethal jewel
tardy glacier
#

💀

balmy vortex
#

his name is Chris, hes my coworker from our US store

lethal jewel
#

the rest comes down to your style

balmy vortex
#

lethal jewel
#

crazy playing

#

ngl

balmy vortex
#

yeeeep

lethal jewel
#

i gotta keep on grinding

balmy vortex
#

literally gliding on the fretboard

#

tho beno, a good practice routine for rhythm would be anything Fear Factory

#

mf'er efficient in picking af and extremely tight

lethal jewel
#

I’ll take a look after learning Three bastards

#

i really want to play that song

#

also i am really close to playing whole blasphemian

#

I only need to learn the second part of the second solo and the whole third solo

tardy glacier
#

yea

#

it was infact spiro
