  1. JP sound & tone

    in Players Corner

    Posted

    Yeah, I know about the Mesa/Boogies. Tri-axis x2 and DC+ Mk. II (I have "Rock Dicipline" DivX). I wanted to know if I could nail his tone using the V-Amp II (its potentials). I am aware that at least 80% of the tone comes out of your fingers... There is a good story on John Suhr's site about that... Here it is:

    The descriptions of tone are very subjective and can be misleading. Lets consider the primary tone generator! Many people don't want to hear it but it is very true. It is your hands.....

    I was never so convinced as one day listening to Ed Van Halen record at his studio. The sound was fat, articulate and every bit his signature tone. When I looked to see what he was playing I was stupefied to see a headless, woodless Steinberger. Not only that but when I checked out the guitar later, the strings were very rusty.

    The touch in your left and right hand technique can definitely make or break your tone. All things considered, one person sitting down with one amp, on one day, will come to tonal conclusions about different wood combinations. These are my personal opinions on how certain wood sound to me with my guitars and my amps and speakers.

  3. ibanez jem fp

    It is very interesting guitar (there are a few pattern variations: 3 for the body front, 3 for the body rear and 3 for the headstock I think). I like it because it has old neck joint (not that I'm a fan of it, but it reminds me of 80's). It is kinda "flower-sixties-age-of-aquarius-man guitar (who said: Strawberry Statement? HEHEHEHE).

  9. 7 string neck dimensions

    in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat

    Looking at your avatar and judging by your projects, I would say that you are a hardcore JP fan!!!

    How thick is the neck on your JPM7, man? In fact, how thick are JPM necks (both Ibanez & EB/MM)?

    I've read in some interview that he gave to "Guitar Player" back in '93 or so that he used to play B.C. Rich guitars before he went to Ibanez and that those necks weren't thin as regular Ibanez production necks...

  11. 7 string neck dimensions

    OK,

    In the Ibanez catalogue from 2002 in the "neck dimensions" under the "UV/RG7/K7" says that thickness is 21.5 and 23 mm at the 1st and 12th frets. Is is possible that they made mistake? Does the 7 string aquire thicker neck because of another string? Can it be thinner and maintain stability at the same time?

    I need dimensions of a Wizard 7 neck (thickness, width and radius) if any of you can provide.

  14. Help with harmonics...

    Since I don't use any picks, I used to finger a note then I put the index finger of my picking hand onto the place that is 1/2 of the fingered fret to bridge distance, then I pick the string with my thumb. 
    Playing au naturel like the greats of Mark Knopfler & Jeff Beck, aren't we? That's a technique worth learning. I've studied classic guitar myself for years and It is completely different approach to playing and tone.

    :D Your 2 cents needed on the subject! Have anybody idea how to acieve JP's tone? What does he uses besides Mesa Boogie and Dunlop? Can it be even remotely nailed on a guitar processor like Zoom 707 or V-Amp?
