If I was in that position I'd buy the Squier CV going for £250 s/h on here...
It is literally a swap of a logo for other features.
If you don't want active and are happy with a basic selection of colours, the playability is likely to be indistinguishable.
No, it isn't the same. Fixed mutes don't kill the harmonics in the same way.
You can aldo combine finger/palm muting with fixed mutes and get a really wide range of sounds.
Now got a Galaxy Rab9+ and I'm at the 'realising how bad my old tablet is' stage...
Perhaps it's only good for a photo frame, although I'm trying a few of these apps
I use a very old and very mellow Ibanez chorus for occasional use only.
The sort of songs it excels on have bassline with slow, melodic sections - What is
and what should never be is an example, it makes the long, slow slides shimmer.
I have a Behringer PA amp. Very happy with it and slightly intimidated by all it's bi-amping and bridging possibilities. Fortunately I just need a basic stereo amp.
Now fitted to my Jack V Custom. Doesn't look as nice but a game changer for ease of tuning.
I will see if there's potential for making it less visible.
There are a lot of people who are dogmatic about how to read and understand music. Tab doesn't require an understanding of harmonic theory and I think that makes trained musicians tend to look down on it.
However, it is straightforward for learning pieces and can be used at any level of complexity.
I have to work with what I understand, it makes understanding theory slower but not impossible.
It was grim, I had a nasty bout of vertigo while setting up and a few wobbles while playing. I gad no idea the whole world would start warping and whirling round an hour after the gig!
I can't read pitch from a traditional score without great difficulty. But as I can read rhythm fairly well I find I can site read many songs from that sort of advanced tab including chsnhing to my preferred fingerings on the fly.
