woah woah..emg-hz all the way down there? are you kiddin? those are freaking beastly!

Even more so if you notice the string gauges. That thing's tuned in B. <3

@w@ baritone tuning..i see those bottom strings..are they like 013-56 or something? that muyst sound like a whole band in a single guitar..power-wise!

They're 13-56 indeed *smirk* Good to see there's some knowledge around there

I use it to just play random things, or to cover...Amon Amarth. Sometimes. xD

oh well XD i subscribed ;iconguitarfurs: for this reason mainly...and speakin about knowledge,i must say i'm not very into Metal styles too much,even tho i played it when i was younger (poorly attempt i must admit)
since im about Jazz,Soul and Funk mainly (not excellent in that too also ,of course) but i always appreciate to know other kinda music styles and every proper guitar set-up for each of them (including of course,hard rock,country classical and..basically wherever a guitar is present) and ...as far as i can remember,Amon Amarth are quite "punchy" as for a saound,right?

Oh indeed they are. Slaves of Fear is one of my favorite songs to play from them, you should check it out.

As for the genres you listed, I'm a pretty big jazzhead. What can I say, there are so many great, influential fusion/jazz bassists that I had to love it, right? :D

totally! ;) and for oddly intriguing it might be msince you mentioned fusion bass players, i must say some people like Tosin Abasi ,a progressive guitar genius,blew my mind as a whole in a second..makin me rethink all i thought i knew about metal and jazz-y styles and how way more easily "mergeable" they are compared to what i thought!

i will check Slaves of Fear out surely tho,im curious! :3


btw....jazzhead you said? which kinda fusion bass player did you listen to?

Pastorius in Weather Report is the main influence but i can think up a few more.

wowza! owo now i know WHO am i talkin with! chapeau to you,im very happy to read this! cos for me THAT IS the "artist" that needs perhaps the most honours amongst them all,he INVENTED the solo-bass playin!

Well there are people with culture everywhere. :D While being a metalhead and a prog-rocker mainly myself I do have an ear for the more fusion-geared side of jazz too.
Jaco's first solo album has some really nice things. I won't say the classics like Donna Lee or Portrait of Tracy, but "Come on Come Over" is pretty damn awesome! :D
Pastorius is the god, but I really love the work that Marcus Miller did, especially with Miles Davis (when he was going through that whole late experimental phase) like on Tutu. And even Miller's recent things, too.

oh MIller to me is the straight continuation of Jaco,he is all about Funk,and i too watched some videos of him with MIles Davis..they were boastin! the whole place up! i have a feeling Miller used her double-thumb technique to vaguely emulate teh "shimmering brassy" resonance the TRumpet has ..and i do really appreciate musically open minded folk,lets be clear! its a quite rare thing being able to share own's veiws about many styles with other people around teh world!

oh and i gave a listen to "Come on Come Over" too ,Jaco Technique was always pristine ,regardless of teh fact he ended up sadly :(

Jaco's death was probably the most unfairly retarded event in the history of music. Or at least in the history of jazz.
He did kinda spiral down a tricky path thanks to being bipolar and thanks to the end of Weather Report...but still

Word. the greater the artist,the sadder its end :(

not always tho of course...and yep,his mind illness didn't easen up the things too...regardless we till have an unmatched talent today!

That guitar looks great as well! Makes me wish I knew how ti play guitar XP
