Anybody can compare those two for me? i've never had any experience with a 609; we normally double mic with 57 + 421.

the rigs are mesa amps + marshall cabs, br00talz and metal =)

i used to play 10-46 d'addarios, and they were cheaper and better sounding then DR Titefits or something I tried once or twice when local store was out of D'As. no ball fall offs or something; though one string may break in a week or two. as to DRs, to me there was absolutely nothing to write home a...

but to say it can totally drown out a drummer Actually, the question was the converse. Or mebbe the inverse. Something like that. Not whether the drummer can be drowned out, but whether the bass can. It's tough to totally drown out a drummer who can hit at all. . LOL well if you get to think about ...

a friend of mine plays an SVT rig - f*ck, I always forget which head model, the hybrid one, i think it's an SVT3 pro - thru Ampeg 810AV box. There's enough growl, of course, but when I learnt the head was 400W.. and the dude has it almost always dimed or nearly so.. I expected much more noise, to te...

I need this to be a decent live rig too. We play some kind of metal, i'm running mesa Triaxis into a 60W PA. 1x12 will probably be an open-back cab, and i need a closed one. is there anything 4x12 excels in doing compared to 2x12? like, close-miked with two dynamic mikes, will it yield sounds that o...

i'm choosing between two cabs, 2x12 and 4x12, loaded with the same speakers (Marsh 1922 vs 1960), and apart from money reasons, my main concern is: Is there anything i'll be missing (tonewise) going into the studio with a 2x12 cab instead of a 4x12? I'd hate to save 300-400 bucks and end up with a r...

LOL well, yep, sometimes we do. i heard stories about metallica and smashing pumpkins having like 8 doubled guitars at mixdown. there are two guitars in our band, and what we, is when all basic parts are layed, we double each one. and normally it's 2-3 mics on each guitar, 57/421 + condenser. all th...

How do you guys record doubletracks - guitars? Do you record the same amp, same guitar same settings on the head for each respective part, or do you switch gear? Normally, I record my basic part through my rig, like Strat + Mesa, then the other guitar player records his through his rig, Fender + Mar...

thanks, mate =) i'll check that out
i have a NI GR software, so I know whatcha talking about

Just think how much value would a vintage POD hold, bwahaha. I am thinking efficiency versus price versus my band's limited abilities. If 500$ POD is something that makes us sound 10 better, I'll do it probably. I would still ahve my pretty decent amp, and I'll be able to get lots of high gain stuff...
