SH-16 Custom Hybrid with Saturday Night Special Neck, would this work on a dark guita

I've been really surprised by the goodwill on this and another forum, so I'm going to try to get into the habit of visiting regularly. I've struggled to get engagement on another general purpose (mixing and production/gear) site, but the online guitar community has been awesome.

I look forward to learning what I can, and if and when possible, helping others.

I personally prefer smaller to midsized forums like this one. There are lots of regulars here and I’ve made some friends here.
The larger forums are just...well too big for me. Sometimes you come across a topic you’re interested in only to realize that there are 125 posts to read...no thanks


Don’t get me wrong...we have our spats and arguments here but nobody seems to hold a grudge or anything. This place really does have a lot of good people.

Read through your posts.
First my favorite neck bridge pickup combo right now is the Hybrid and the Sentient.
Really well balanced and both split amazingly well in particular when run together split they really are very nice.
Sentient is a full thick sounding pickup that retains clarity at gain. My concern is the darkness you talk with your guitar but question your amp situation on producing a clear tone.
Here is the Hybrid and the sentient split pulling a nice twangy country solo tone clean in my Koa Carvin DC 127.

You gotta tell your sound man to turn the acoustic down some...I listen to most all of the clips you post and your guitar is very difficult to pull out of the mix.

That cajon is way, way to hot.

Guitar and bass were not in the system as this was in our fellowship hall. My amp was behind me and had no monitor here so from where I was standing would have been hard to hear the rest of the band if I turned up.
Working on the sound issues at Church and brought in my old sound man.
This was last Sunday

Hi

I'll be pairing the guitar with my first proper amp

A Vox AV30 (2 channel 2 2 tube hybrid) in July


A the moment I go though Amplitube 4 software - into either headphones, or back into the amp section of a Fender 10g, the 10g was just meant to be something I could practice on without a tangle of headphones.

The IK amps are pretty good, I think most would be surprised who haven't heard them. The fender 10g is so bad I have to program a tone via headphones, then store it, as once it goes back into the 10g its a shadow of the source tone, but there is just enough left to match the tone to a section of practice if I'm going through the 10g and not the headphones.


If I do practice on the Fender (if I just want a 10 minute thing) The Fender sounds like sh*t unless you turn overdrive off (deactivate gain) ,turn volume below 3-4, turn treble all the way to 9-10 and set the bass to a maximum if 4/5. Its OK (tolerable) under these conditions.

It may be the pickups rather than a dark guitar, as pointed out before. It can sound pretty loud unplugged with heavy strumming, and sustain seems OK somewhere around average probably

At some point I should probably record some unplugged sound via a Tascam field recorder near the neck, as it might be that its not a dark guitar, I just have very little experience or exposure to a mix of guitars in person, but that would expose my shacking incompetence.

I can tell a tele, strat and les paul apart with ease via blind test, but then anyone with a little bit of practice can do that.

Sounded much more balanced instrument to instrument, than the other vids.

I have no experience here to justify an opinion, but sometimes it seems like it can just be either the room, or the placement and quality of the equipment doing the recording within the room. Watch Radiohead performing in a venue, via someones mobile phone, and they'll sound like they're playing from the toilet cubical at the back of the venue :18:
