Outside of Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Exodus and Anthrax, no one gives a shit about thrash and other thrash bands.
Jesus himself could be the guitarist of some other thrash band and no one would care.

It's because those are the ones that made it popular, they perfected it and they are the ones people want.
Any other band that does thrash is just ripping them off and copying them. Modern thrash bands are cringe as hell because they're just trying to be what has been around for 30 years.

They have done absolutely nothing for me. They don't impress me, they seem cheap and the price they ask for them is ridiculous. It's a fucking bolt on with single coils for crying out loud!

Nope, I'm selling mine. Maybe I'll give Schecter a try, they seem like good value for the price

Hell no I wouldn't spend $1000 on a new "pro" model fender.

Is there a better guitar for $300 new than a Yamaha FG800?

That's a decent acoustic but why can't you go to a shop somewhere and play everything in your price range?

>>71622334
I love my li'l Strat, I've never played/owned a more comfortable guitar (except for maybe a Suhr S-type that was out out of my price range). But if you don't dig on Fender, the Schecter Sun Valley series looks promising. I know the fact that they're marketed to "shredders" is cheesy as fuck but the designs and overall concept is a guilty pleasure for me.

>>71622388
I actually love that Jeff Loomis signature model. I was actually considering getting it a while ago when I came into some extra money.

That red with the maple and black binding is just so fucking sexy!

I wonder if I can find it cheap now that he's got newer models now

Yes. Thats why its best to hand it off and let someone else do that. You either tweak the mix a million times and always are unhappy with it, or, you miss mistakes and mix it sounding like ass because you think its perfect just because you did it.

Buy a better microphone. Buy a better interface. Buy a better guitar. Save some cash and upgrade your shit. Stop being lazy. Get a job. Stop being poor.

>>71623080
>although if you're action is too high I'm gonna assume it's a shit guitar with a plastic saddle.
That's the truth. I bought it for $60. It works but I'd like it to play decent.

What do I do if I wear the bridge/nut too low? Replacing the nut or bridge would just be a waste of money

>>71623093
>you will get bullied by someone who is probably a 13 year old brazillian

don't lie you like it

>>71623007
you should probably just head back to redddit already

>>71623112
the real problem in a guitar with no truss rod is neck warp from the tension of the strings over time. Replacing a nut or bridge isn't too expensive but on a cheap guitar it's not worth it unless you have a sentimental attachment to the instrument.

check out the Hamer Echotone. Eyeing one at my shop that is head and shoulders above all the high end Epis next to it.
Also Hagstrom has some ones that play and sound pretty great but they look cheap to me.
All of those semi-hollows of that range are comparable, though.

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RG8PBNTF
This model has been discontinued. Mine is basically brand new, it still has the plastic on the pickups and everything. The one pictured here has a good bit of flame but mine doesn't have any at all really. I'd like to get $475 shipped so I don't know if you'd really be interested or not.

I plan to spend only 350, which is what I estimate to get from selling my guitars and the speaker cab,

350 also being the convienent price of this Warlock

>>71624121
I'll tell you what, if you're interested come back here when you have the money and ask for me and I'll talk to you again then.

I'm going to be honest with you I just bought that guitar to see if playing an 8 string was interesting and none of my amps will fuck with the low string. With 8 strings you pretty much have to have a Axe-Fx II (or some other modeling shit) to compensate for the low string, a traditional high gain guitar amp won't cut it.

>>71622165
fucking retard the least you could do is link to the old thread in the op
>>71611355

>>71624170
How does it sound? I played one at a local guitar center and it sounded a bit strange and a lot more bassy

>>71624285
It sounds fine until you get to the low string then all my amps fart out. If I were to give you any advice it would be to just get a 7 if you can't afford a modeling amp. I played it for a couple of months but it's been leaning up against a chair in the living room since November so it's time for it to go to a new home.

>>71624316
Lowering the gain or adjusting eq do anything?

>>71624170
Stop buying shitty rock "high" gain amp.
I have a dual dark 50 and my 8 strings is growling. The amp was design with that in mind.
It was a REALLY close call with the randall satan, also created for 8 string and drop c in mind

>>71624330
>>71624316
Have you tried this?

Would make sense to me desu.

>>71624346
For the record I did not type desu. autocorrect ig wants to be a weeb

>>71624330
No, it's the frequency range of the low string itself that's the problem. None of my amps were designed to keep up with that low of a string, that's why it sounds so farty.
>>71624346
At this point I've moved on and I'm not interested in playing it anymore. The only reason I bought the guitar in the first place was to see if the 8 string idea jelled with my playing, inspired ideas, etc. and it didn't. The experiment failed, sometimes that's what happens.

>>71622564

>>71624333
>The amp was design with that in mind.
This is actually one of my problems with 8 stings, you have to go buy special shit to fuck with the low string. That's why it didn't work for me. I'm not interested in wasting time trying to find/buy an amp that works, upgrading pickups, etc. I've got songs to write and shows to play, life's too short to fuck around with gear that's not turning you on right out of the box.

All of the Orange range is based for 8 steings, same for Most of randall and the top ENGL.

Wow excuse me sir, surely spending time on Mexican Dorito Imageboard trying to sell stuff is much more prolific that the 2 second it takes to actually research shit before buying a several thousand dollars amp or guitar.

I guess you dont have time to fap either and use the time spared to actually finally complete your PhD in Quantum Physics.

I didn't say it was too complicated, I said I wasn't interested in wasting time and money buying an entire new setup for one low string. I'm in a band with a bassist so I don't need to go to the trouble. I don't know why you'd get so butthurt over some random persons dismissal of 8 string guitars, what difference does it make to you? I tried it and decided they're a gimmick that I don't give a shit about.. end of story.

Honestly, just save your money man. You don't NEED the 8-string right now. Stop wasting money on cheap guitars and buy something nice. Doesn't have to be new.

Especially with an 8-string. There is so many places to cut corners to make it attractively priced. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you can't setup a guitar yourself.

I understand the circle of fifths/fourths but how do I read this in terms of modes ?

Light strings vs Medium strings vs Heavy Strings

Thinking about going light is it wise ?

i luv how i can bend and vibrato with 9s. soft like butter

>>71626992
Depends on what you like. I have 12s and 11s on all of my guitars, 12s for the ones that get played in D standard and drop C more often, and 11s on my E standard/drop D guitars.

10s just feel flimsy and it's easier for me to play faster with a thicker string.

That chart is trash. The best way to use the modes is to think of them as the scales to play on the different degrees of the major or minor scale, or as the key center of a song.

I have this one, but it's not a Les Paul Jr, it's a custom/prophecy. Do you mean melodeath or old-school swedish death if it's the latter then yeah but the amp is more important if its the former then I would say get medium or low output passives from seymour duncan or somebody for smoother leads

Also don't get a les paul for low tunings, I have mine in C standard and it requires suspension bridge cables to give it enough tension and the G string warbles

Sweetwater and demo videos on youtube. They all say that the Andy Timmons pedal has a 3 way headroom switch of 25-watt, 50-watt, and 100-watt mode.

>>71629135
What I think they mean is that it can emulate the headroom of a 25-watt, 50-watt and 100-watt amp. It doesn't make sense to have energy transfer in a stompbox. It just requires 9V

>>71629420
if you increased your budget by $50 you could get a used AC-15.

That's a little overpowered for your needs but it's a real amp. Check out the Orange Crust 35rt. Nice warm, full sound. Gets pretty loud too. My friend plays solo shows with his.

>>71629495
you want a smaller tube combo or a Peavey/Orange/Vox solid state. Peavey, Vox, Marshall, and Orange are all good brands to look out for.
try not to get one with a bunch built in effects, they are tacky and usually bad.

Gibson Faded SG 2017 T or Gibson Les Paul Faded T? Both are for 900 CAD. This will be my first guitar in 10 years. I was looking at Epiphones and decided I didn't want a chinese made guitar.

>>71628735

No the mexi factory uses the best wood and the wood that comes in biggest pieces for sunburst guitars and uses the smaller and uglier woods for the painted ones (small price increase for the sunburst btw if you didn't notice).

DESU I think tube amps are kind of a meme. If you get a solid state with a quality speaker and blind test 99/100 people wont be able to tell you which is which.

All these youtube vides show the fender mustang with an 8 inch speaker vs the hotrod with 2 x12 inch speakers and then get all excited about how the hot rod sounds great and the solid state sounds tinny and whatever.

When I do a true same speaker modeling/ ss / vs tube you really can't tell or if you can tell a difference you can't really say one is better than the other.

>>71632390
The mustang clearly sounds like a cheap digital emulation. Especially its line/usb out. Maybe the speaker mask it a bit i donno
