Any guesses as to the amp type for the guitars?
I hope it’s not too offensive....

I really like it. It reminds me of bands like Pelican.

I'll guess a Washburn bass thru a Kustom B200 head into a Peavey 15 cab for the bass. You probably could have used the same rig for guitar even. Those Kustom heads are good for heavy music.

But that's just a wild guess that's totally not based on the picture or anything...

Thanks!!! Hahahahaha! Washburn bass ....yes....no Kustom amps though....

 

[Thatbastarddon]

I was thinking you might be giving us a hint especially since solid state amps are pretty tight and fast for metal. Peavey?

Fair enough...I was looking for an answer along the “SS VS Tube” line...in regards to guitar...

2002???
Hell Fire man --- I dont have ANY of the gear I had in 2002........................actually let me think...........

I believe a small Epiphone SS amp and an Epi Les Paul Special II was ALL the gear I owned at the time.....................

Good job Don!! on the clip.

 

[JohnnyGoo]

Sounds great. Like Tool put out a new release.

 

[RVA]

Great work!

The guitar sounds like it has a mahogany back, maple cap, maple neck, with rosewood fretboard. The pickups are not potted. Am I right?! Second guess... Les Paul.

Regardless, it sounds awesome. Post more, both new and old!

 

[Session 5]

Don it would seem to me, you and Mitch have a similarity in style of music..

 

[Thatbastarddon]

Thanks guys! Definitely some good guesses...here’s the rundown:
Guitar tracks done with an old Fernandes Monterey with a Sustainer pickup in neck position, and a Duncan Seth Lover (yes @RVA ...not potted)in bridge position...I don’t believe I have any pictures of mine handy. I gave the guitar to a band mate’s son for his high school graduation.
It looked like this one, but with a chrome covered bridge pickup-


The only amp used was a SS/tube hybrid Vox Cambridge 15. A 1X8 combo amp, with a 12ax7 preamp tube. (Good call @Yargnad )No pedals used going in to the amp, just guitar and cable. Delays and such were added in later. I gave the amp to a very good old friend’s daughter for her high school graduation.


The bass used was mentioned earlier...my trusty old Washburn RB2002...except it was new then...this was the first thing I wrote and recorded with it. No amp used. Just straight in via an older SansAmp Bass Driver DI:


The recording was done with an AKAI DPS12. All effects were DPS12 internal effects.
Like this one:


Aaah the good old days....when life was simple, and recordings were just thrown together.
Oh yeah! The drums were from a Boss DR 770....the horror of hard quantization...

I should have read the whole thread before I posted .
Oh well that’s a great piece of work brother, I can really feel the heavy groove in the song..
Thanks for sharing

No messing around with that one, Don - you could see that being played during a mass kill action scene in a Ridick movie.
