.....but do any of those videos really answer the question of if anyone else in here has ever used one????.....no

 

[charli]

I think it's a little too reminiscant of Bodom/ Norther.

not saying it sounds bad though, it sounds pretty awesome.

thank you .. i obviously have COB as a huge influence so i think that rocks..

 

[Delanoir]

I'd be extremely surprised if you could play that sweep cleanly and at the tempo you wrote the song to be in.

 

[TheKid]

I was thinking the same thing, he told me that he can sweep at that speed but not 100% cleanly

 

[<-Warheart->]

16th triplets at 220bmp? Rusty Cooley would probably have trouble with that...

 

[Muffin]

There was a guitarist at a local music school that supposedly would've nailed that sweep with no effort, he was tremendously good at sweeping. According to his teacher they figured out that he could sweep 22(or 24, cant remember which but lets say it was 22 lol) notes per second at the most. I heard him once and he was stupidly fast, didnt count the notes though lol. Never heard about him again though, wonder what became of him.. its like 4 years ago now

Reminds me of this... (at 2:44)

 

[children of COB]

Theory lesson over.

That was interesting, I'll give it a go

edge iii=

Seriously, STFU. You're just talking from what you've heard. Edge III is actually pretty ok for the price, unlike say ESP or Jackson cheap tremolos.

ok,then i stick with saving up for rr24 (2 more years,and i'll have enough money for one )

My advice would be no. Get a ~500€ range Ibanez RG. They are sweet guitars with really nice necks, great built and pretty decent pickups/hardware for what you pay. You'll have time later to save up for a RR24 if you want it. Also Ibanez guitars are pretty versatile, which the RR24 isn't.

OMG I SHOOK JAMES MALONE'S HAND TONIGHT SO HAPPY NOAW

And I saw the 1st four songs of the Behemoth set, which crushed balls..

Why only the first four?

Okay guys! I'm trying to sell my Ibanez MTM2 to get a RG7321 or save up top a S7320. Is this a smart idea? If I would put everything in priority I should first get a Noise gate and a new cabinet though. Not even getting to needing another head if the randall blows up. =/

No. Although you know I don't like the MTM2, it's much better than the RG7321 imho. About the S7320, are you sure you wanna get back to tremolos? Also, while it's quite versatile, I don't think it's the best guitar for metalcore. I'd stick with the MTM2 and do what Marfal told you. Is not like you go crazy soloing all the time, so not having that last thin string wouldn't be much of a problem, amirite?

 

[WildChildNumber2]

1000 series Floyd Rose means just the color (black). The Alexi 600 has always had an OFR made in germany. Which pickup will you get? The FH-2?

Yea the EMG HZ FH-2 Is it a good pick up? And i know its made for metal, thats all i play... I havent played clean guotar since i first purchased my guitar and amp lol

 

[Muffin]

oh how badass and metal of you.

Dont think about the pickup dude, changing a pickup doesnt cost much and selling the old one afterwards covers most of it. Dont decide your guitar purchase on the pickup model.

well i cant play that clean ...... yet...

 

[SteveMCsteve]

+1
I'd gladly take the Edge III over any Jackson tremolo.
Don't say anything until you've actually tried them yourself.

agree .. great fucking tremolo...

 

[SteveMCsteve]

I wouldn't say its great.
But its not as bad as everyone says it is.
The only reason people think its shitty is because people keep talking shit about it when they haven't even tried it.

Im not lol... I love the guitar Its the definition of 'mad'

 

[Lowberg]

Yngwie left dimarzio

lulz

 

[Delanoir]

Haha, wow. I wonder where he will go, if anywhere.

That's like Paul Gilbert leaving. Or Petrucci.

 

[snowy]

I know, I've torrented it but GP5 for Mac has an annoying interface.

that toolbox isn't even there when you first open it. My clone has the exact same interface as GP5 Windows.



If I can see correctly, then the only difference there is an EMG, and comparing that to a Duncan is comparing just apples and oranges, really.

ahh well..

And a matt black paint job, an Edge II Pro tremelo (I think) which is often praised as being the best trem Ibanez have ever made, different inlays and no neck/body binding.

I think you need glasses.

ok he already told ya.

but I was rather referring to the look not the sound

 

[the phenom]

No. Although you know I don't like the MTM2, it's much better than the RG7321 imho. About the S7320, are you sure you wanna get back to tremolos?

Meh, No I don't solo but I use all the strings alot. Take chords and shit ( that are not powerchords obviously, since I am the only guitarist I try to make the guitarlines a little more unorthodox and interesting). I've tried the RG7321 at the local store and It was honestly pretty good. Don't know if it's better than the MTM2 though...Didn't think of it. Schecter was ofcourse miles from it. Just saying, I don't use only the 2 first strings you know So yes, It could be a problem. Especially looking at which direction our music is going currently. I can always transpose and that shit but...

Just started wondering on this when I started composing new songs for the band.

 

[Flappy]

Why only the first four?

Because a mate of mine just had to light a cigarette in the venue as they were doing the Behemoth soundcheck.
Of course immediate security guard actions were taken and he had to leave the venue.
So that's why I left after 4 songs, cause it was still my friend you know.
Sucks more ass for him though, since it was his first Behemoth concert and I had already seen them once.
