Silenced Fred Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 What about P-rails Fred? Best of both worlds IMO. Too many knobs and switches. I like my stuff simple. Also' date=' they look ugly as fxck I get confused just looking at a Fender Jaguar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS44 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 You got something to say?Im sorry i just find the same chord being played over and over again a little boreing. If you dont think this is music. Then you dont have a ear. It's music yes' date=' doesnt mean everyone has to like it. I'm pretty sure Nathan was just kidding around though. Metal is better than a lot of mainstream stuff [b']in my opinion[/b] and it is undoubtably music. I prefer less distorted stuff. As for those kids at guitar shops who just do those speed runs, I hate that. I tend to crank mine up louder than theirs and start doing something nice, fast but not distorted. A lot of the time I get blank stares that can be seen as A: What the hell are you doing? B: Wow that's new. I once got a guy who was doing it, and I could tell he was really really enjoying it, and he just smiled and kept playing (although he turned it down a bit). Seemed to be a nice fellow.

Less distortion, or distortion used more "efficiently". There's some heavy music out there, that is all clean, no distortion. IMO, it depends more on the style of the player, but people try and mask it with distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know a couple guys who simply, love the sound. That's the best reason for it (say, that guy I mentioned in the above post). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who you can give a jazz box and a fender deluxe reverb and make songs that sound heavier than anything else on the face of the earth. The great players can sound heavy without all of the distortion and all of that other stuff. Some people just use the distortion to cover up their ability, or lack thereof. Whatever floats your boat though, if you like it, who can tell you that you're wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually surprised more rock players don't use them. Izzy knew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking just a nice amount of overdrive. It worked for Ted, Alvin, and Izzy Stradlin'...nice, warm tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG fan 420 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I like Thorogood's p90 hollowbody tone, sounds like a pissed-off electric shaver[cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
