What do i need
Hey guys, I just wanted to ask what kind of stuff I need if I want to play a show with my band? I'm in a death metal band, I'm using a fender strat and line 6 flextone II amp. Is that enough? Any pedal reccomendations? Half Stack ? etc?

obviously if youve got the money go for a half stack, marshall jcm, crate blue voodoo, peavey 5150, mesa recto (if u can afford it  )
guitar wise just get some humbuckers. or get an ibanez rg - theyre relatively cheap and realy good aswell.

Nobody needs a mesa, they are just nice. A 5150 or Triple XXX stack can sound just as good with some tweaking. There's more than just having humbucking pickups in a guitar, having a nice neck that you feel comfortable on is more important than having humbucking pickups. And having talent is always a plus.

Hell yeah man. Dont let anyone tell you fusion is a dirty word.
I like fusion metal bands. Theres a band in Melb Aust called Alarum that are a very Jazz / Metal kinda band. Excellent musicianship.

Fuck EMG's. There's only one guitarist who I fully approve of using them (He's the only guitarist I know that I like that uses them) and that is Jeff Loomis. Get some good Seymours or DiMarzios.

i could throw hundreds of cds at you with emg's on them, and chances are you'll probably like alot of the tone and playing.

I don't doubt you. They are starting to grow on me. I mean, I still prefer Seymour's in better grade guitars, but the EMG's are growing on me for mid-range instruments. I'm thinking of putting an 81 and 85 setup in one of my Jackson's.

You prefer having EMG's in a bad guitar rather than a good one?

Jazzy death metal? You bitches better go listen to Atheist. Especially if you're into later Death and shit.
What you need is a pair of good humbuckers, probably a different amp, and an immense pair of balls.

if you mix such different genres such as jazz and death metal... you NEED to have balls... just like you need balls to play a daisy rock heart guitar at a death metal show (which i intend to do before i die)
