Hi Niko,
great solo and performance!
Hi Niko,
great solo and performance!
Thanks guys! Hoping to release the full song this #OriginalFriday.
Full song is up.
As always really open for comments on mix and performance. Especially want the rhythm guitars to hit as hard as possible.
Rhythm guitars are quad tracked with Guidorist JVM Marshall 04 and a Fortin profile.
Have been thinking about getting a backup unit for my powered rack. Found the perfect candidate
Messing around with some Kiko in the recently shared JP2C profile:
Rock on, sounds fantastic!
Great solo, as always Niko. Top shredding

Playing is not perfect but it gets the job done
I appreciate that. I heard a semi-famous guitarist once say that his recorded tracks are not perfect, and he never plays perfect on stage because he is human. So, I decided to do my mixes in one single take and leave the mistakes in. I think it makes you more genuine (also makes you play better). I actually thought before learning guitar that I would have to be perfect at it, but that is not true.

Absolutely true. I find too perfect a bit boring. There are mistakes you end up loving. But in all fairness also a lot you don't

Most of us could probably only dream about being able to say this Niko.
Great job man. I particularly like the vibrato and bends.
Yeah he's a natural talent. Nothing seems to be difficult for this guy. Thanks for the comments on the bends and vibs. Those are some of my best features

Man, I wish I could be this imperfect!

Oh, by the way which ReampZone Dual Rec profile did you use? I have that pack and the same guitar so..
Hi GearJocke - Just fitted some nice EMG 81/85s on my EC-1000. Not sure I got the pickup rings oriented in the right position though. Could you by any chance check if this looks the same way on yours?
The taller parts are towards the bridge - and they look identical.
It looks like the pickup frame on bridge pickups is wrong. The higher should be toward the neck. I measured and it's only like 1 milimeter difference. I don't have any reading glasses here around the computer though. I was going to swap the pickups on the ec-1000 but decided for once not do it. It feels nice to have at least one guitar without swapped pickups. If you ever want to swap to another set emg I can highly recommend the bone breaker set.
Thanks man. Just as I thought. I'm an idiot.
Pickup rings are for girlie men. Keep it raw like a man.
Thanks man. Just as I thought. I'm an idiot.
Don't worry. I've made that mistake most of the times I have swapped pickups on different guitars.
Latest solo for our next tune My Revenge - Still work in progress. Profile is KM - Thrash directly from the factory.
Smokin' Niko!
Hm it's been a year since I posted anything. That's depressing. Played around with a solo cover tonight:
Profile is the JD Petrucci thingy that someone posted a while back.
