    Best preamp or modeler for Prog, technical death metal, and jazz?

    If anyone can give me some suggestions to buy a preamp to practice/record with my headphones and laptop that has clean, and heavy tones. My influences are bands like Dark Fortress, Obscura, Spawn of Possession, and various technical death metal, black metal and jazz artists. I need a preamp...

    My debut full-length! Mixing jazz, metal, dense instrumentation!

    Hey SS.org! Hope you're having a great day. I just released my debut record 2 days ago! Soundwise, it's a blend of my university education (jazz/modern jazz) and a healthy dose of my love for all things progressive metal (I guess I just never got over my highschool djent phase :) I covered all...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Pretty new here, so excuse my ignorance on anything "obvious" Been looking to record some bass tracks in Drop C, and was wondering what thoughts people had on using a Japanese Geddy Lee Jazz bass with a 34" scale length, as well as any ideas on the best strings to use. Getting a new bass isn't...

    Need Jazz Fusion Recommendations Like CHON That Aren't Chon

    I've been listening to Chon on repeat for a year and want to branch out. I don't even know if most would consider them Jazz Fusion, but I'm looking for other bands that have fun grooves and dense, oblique harmonies. The shredding/insane technical facilities are great, but I don't really care for...

    Anyone knows picks that feel like Ultex but sound closer to Tortex?

    I started my guitar way long time ago with Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0, later been using some local 1.5 Acrylic Jazz picks which are pretty expensive. Also experimented with some buffalo horn and Dunlop`s Delrin picks but wasn`t impressed. recently tried to find cheaper and maybe a little thinner...

    Maine Prog Metal

    Looking for another guitarists to put together something proggy, metal and more technical than basic chug, chug, chug riffing. I’m located in the Central Maine area and go to college at KVCC in Fairfield (in case you go as well). Looking to jam in person for a while and figure out if there is...

    Best first Jazzmaster?

    Wanting something that's not an 8 string with dual humbuckers and a hardtail. Been in a rut, started listening to post hardcore/math rock/indie/pop/dreampop, jazzmaster would better fit those sounds. I'm torn between the Vintage Modified, J Mascis Sig, or shelling out the dough for a 60's...

    Arch Echo - Happiest Prog Metal Ever

    A quick search turned up no threads talking about these guys. I think they need some serious love going. I just found out about them, and oh my god it's like a lovechild of Dream Theater, CHON, and Super Mario. And they're all so freaking happy, too! Like you can tell these guys genuinely enjoy...

    Jazz songs books

    I was just wondering if any of you knew a great book of "must-know" jazz songs, but in standard notation ? I know it would be easier to find tabs, but I'd really like to work on my sight reading so anyone knows about a book of that sort?

    where do you share your music?

    Hey guys I made a tune the other day in order to practice thumping. It kinda sounds like AAL: https://soundcloud.com/pedropeedro/pop-philosopher Soundcloud isn't what it used to be though. I find little to no action there and instead have to send Soundcloud links elsewhere (like here). Do you...

    New (wannanty replacement) guitar day!

    So the guitar that this replaced was a Luna Gypsy series, and that's for the best. Thanks GC pro coverage. The Luna had a horribly back bowed neck, and the truss rod was completely loose. So the action issues were pretty much irreparable. I wanted a cheap beater guitar to bring to school, but I...

    Charvel San Dimas or PRS SE (with SD Alpha and Omega)

    Hey... I am planning to buy a new guitar and I am torn between Charvel San Dima Pro Mod Style 2 7 HH and PRS SE Mark Holcomb 2017. My interest is definitely in djent and metal but I play other stuff too. Jazz, a bit of fusion and a lot of thumping and slapping on guitar as well. My points of...

    Advice on possible second bass please

    I'm a relatively new bass player coming from a guitar background. My first bass is an Ibanez SR500 (4-string). Its a very comfortable bass to play, but I absolutely hate the tones I get. I've always heard great things about Bartolini pickups, so I think the main problem lies with the Ibanez...
