The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[samzadgan]

Yep! It's my main tuning. I love it and use it regularly

so, if i was to do it on C...would that be C C F A# D G ?

[skullservant]

I think that would work

[samzadgan]

Sent you a PM.

dude...some of that riffing is quite epic! and that guitar tone...like it a lot.

btw...what do you use to record it?

Thanks man. That was just with one amp. I run two normally but my Marshall was in the shop. I have a SLP reissue with 6550s and the amp you heard by itself is a Laney gh50l. I used a zoom h2n hand held recorder to record that. Fucking love that thing.

I might have to invest in one of the Zoom h2n's...my recordings on soundcloud are all with my iphone...and it sounds terrible!

that laney sounded really good...did you have any pedal's or was just the amp making the thunder? I do wish i had a car so i could take my own amp to rehearsals, but luckily there is a rehearsal place that we go to that have a pair of rockaverb 100's that we plug into...although those rooms come at a pretty high premium!

That is all Laney. I only run pedals on the Marshall.

Oh, this is great info. Thanks, Skip.

No problem, further investigation showed that the fralin mod is two full turns out on the bottom screws and the top screws level with the cover, and the whole pickup lowered as far as it will go (about 1/8th of an inch, or 3mm, above the pickguard) then upgrading to the 500k pots. Like I said I will be doing this in the coming weeks and will report back on its success.

I'm liking the guitar more and more everyday, so I might just replace the neck pickup entirely. It may be worth it, I'm not sure yet.

I've been experimenting with AADGBE tuning, not sure if I like it yet. Does any of you tune like this?

I've messed around with that tuning before, but I find it too expensive to maintain it as you have to buy two packs of strings, or worry about being singles. I prefer BADGBE. It's a bit more manageable and versatile.

Not really, you can just buy a 7-string set and ditch the 6th string (low E).

i dig the March of the Fire Ants tuning. Take DGFCAD tune the D down to A and now ur power chords on the top 2 strings are octaves instead.

[Achtane]

I was bored last night and decided that every bass should have either a mudbucker or P pickup.
Mudbuckers are like...the doomiest pickup, guys. Super bass and output, do you need anything more?

[AngryGoldfish]

Hmmm... that is a good idea.

[t-rey]

this thread is insane. this moves like three times as fast as the hcfx doom room, and that was hard to keep up with. i'm not even going to bother trying to keep up with this. seems like most of the luminaries of the hcfx board have made it over here now, though there's a few folks left behind that i wish could get over here- humancertainty, the riffer, a few others too.

Hello and welcome to the forum filled with the crazy weirdos that don't fit in on the other forms may your madness grow and topple small trailer parks

YES. Blowing down trailer parks with riffs and dope smoke.

Glad to be here! Dude, started writing with the new drummer. Have a super rough recording from our first day of writing. If you are interested I will send it. Have a lot of smoothing out to do and some transitions to write but I am fucking pumped.

Glad you made it over. We really are only missing a few folks now

Definitely going to check these guys out - I really like this track.

[samzadgan]

DAMN!

I just won an amp on ebay for a damn good price...its a little ss marshall lead 12...usually these are going for between £80-£100...and there's even one ebay for £190 because it has white tolex!

i just won the auction at £45!!!

okay, so we are not talking big money, but its principle of the thing!

I love your Jag bass, the pickups are the most intimidating electronics scheme I've ever seen. Swap that middle jazz p/u for a P and theres not a single tone you can't reproduce with that beast.

Oh and if you ever GAS for a better bridge, I have a chrome high-mass bridge w/ brass saddles (lthe one that comes on a modern player jag bass) sitting around if you want it.

I missed 54 pages, I'll have to look more often on ILF, cause I like teh doomzzzzz! I heard that I was in a droneband a week ago, so I am curious how that will work out..
