If I may qualify it a little more, I play a lot of clean stuff. I have one neck that is fretted in stainless.
Started with the same size fret in nickel and had it re-fretted. Immediately noted the changes in tone.
I did want to try one and see. Yup it feels slinkier, and after a year and a...
Well I'll cast the dissenting vote. Stainless is brighter sounding, adds a little "plink" tone to the note, and slight buzzes that accompany very low action which are inaudible through the pickups with nickel frets become audible with stainless.
I do like the feel of them and they will last...
You mentioned you don't like tall and wide frets. Try a used Peavey Wolfgang, very small and low frets.
Also you may want to check out something Fender Road Worn. Vintage size smaller frets that have been finished heavily, very rounded and polished and neck edges that are rolled pretty heavy.
I took a Nineteen80 JR 50 to Austin last week and played un-mic'ed outdoors in an amphitheater. Just a little hairy at 3/4 volume, but I had a crappy MG 8 ohm cab to use. Methinks that w/a 4x12 Rev cab it would have had more super clean headroom.
For rock, check out the Nineteen80 Jr 50, the Rev...
Well, my bacon is saved!!!!
Stopped by the KRANK plant on my way to the airport and they gave me a
Nineteen80 JR 50 watt to use for the weekend!!!!
Brand spankin' new, they pulled it off the burn in rack and it just fits in my back pack!!!
SWEEEET!!
Best customer service EVER!!
Sorry, this an overlap from my other thread.
LSS - Fly-in gig, several shows over the weekend, backline amp sucks, am bringing a mini pedal board.
Thinking of grabbing a 44mag on the way to the airport.
BIG QUESTION!!!
How much clean headroom? Can it power a 4x12 MG cab at a mostly clean warm...
Ugh. Went and played one today. FWIW tried plugging a preamp into the RETURN but that didn't work, no sound at all. Maybe the switch is in the SEND?
Anyways, too late now.
Man, this thing had a God-awful amount of hiss, on the Clean Channel!! And not a lot of volume. My 80 watt tube amp on the...
Thanks, I wasn't too encouraged from hearing the MG demo on the Marshall website, and the replies here confirm that. Just hard to know for sure from flash audio, didn't want to rush to judgement.
The cleans sounded OK on the demo.
I'm building a mini board now, Henretta Orange Whip compressor to...
Hi. Got a fly in gig next Thurs.-Sun
I can't bring any amps, was going to bring my pedal board but in late developments, too big and heavy to fly.
So... I'll take a couple pedals off and put 'em in my suitcase or build a mini board.
Anyways, I gotta use the backline, just found out I'll have a...
I bought my case for a GMW with the super long pointy whale harpoon headstock. It's the only case that had the room for that excessive maple masturbation.
