quote:
so you made a conde out of your guitar , thats more or less the difference of most sanchis and conde. condes tend to have stronger mids and less bassy basses than sanchis imo. Nah, I didnt get the stronger mids (although I would like that) but now my guitar doesnt sound as scooped as it sounded before, its way more balanced now and feels better to play, the response changed. quote:
If you want to make the bass deeper without causing it to boom, but deeper and tight, then sand a little off the top of the outside bass strut, making it a little thinner on top near the sound hole. Try for a long slight taper making it thinner in height, closer to the sound hole. Don't thin it too much as it will cause the 6th string to drop off too much. I think Iam not quite picturing that and maybe its wise not to go inside again... oh, the temptation [:D] I dont like bass at all unless Iam playing bass. You know, Iam a stratocaster guy, not a Les Pauler if that makes sense. The only thing I kind of miss is the "throaty mids" that Condes (and the Sanchis too) usually have. But right now Iam near that sound that VA gets when he plays a strong powerchord even with rasgueo, that open percussive sound that you also get from a strat with mild overdrive before the amp. I love the strats single coil spank, it sounds like "clank clank" which for me is the "plunkety plunk" of flamenco.
