Gallien Krueger/Ampeg Review
 |
May 04, 2006 |
 A Gallien Krueger/Ampeg combo is extremely great sounding for both electric and upright bass. Let's start with the electric guitar aspect. Have you ever wanted that crisp sound for slapping or playing funky? This combo is perfect for that, with a tweeter adjuster and an insane EQ, you can sound any way you want. If you are looking for, say, that bassy/warm sound for playing jazz or slow music, turn the sub and the bass up and you've got it.
Personally, I play upright bass a lot. I'm mostly a jazz/jam type musician. This setup sounds absolutely amazing for upright, even with the worst upright through a fishman pickup. My tone isn't too twangy, and not too bassy either. GK's have one of the greatest sound for upright or electric... |

| gig-fx Ships New MegaWah Pedal |
April 30, 2006 |
 gig-fx is pleased to announce that the MegaWah is now released for general sale throughout North America and Europe.
If you take a classic Wah sound and widen the bass sweep and boost the resonant peaks, you get a huge new wah sound called the MegaWah. In addition, the MegaWah is the first all-analog wah pedal which offers all forms of wah including classic wah, auto-wah, synth-wah (envelope filter) and the aforementioned powerful new wah sound. The pedal incorporates two independent wah circuits to provide stereo in and out channels. Being stereo allows for some unique effects; the wah sweep on one channel can be reversed to provide a completely new sound which is surprisingly melodic when combined with the straight channel.... |

| Latest Forum Thread - Stringing over the tail piece |
Anyone know if stringing over the tail piece makes any difference to the sound of the guitar?
I figured it wouldn't effect the action of the guitar because the strings are still hitting the saddle (which controls the height of the strings to the fret board). Anyone ever tried it out? Did it make any difference at all?
The only thing I can think of as to why to do this would be more area of the string hitting the tail piece (which is screwed into the body) so possibly more resonance into the body wood. But that's about it. |
