The Last Ten Seconds of Life's Wyatt McLaughlin & Mike Menocker - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 145

[Applause] you hey guys I'm Wyatt from less than seconds of life here at Chicago Ridge Star Bar first date or yeah just gonna show you some of my gear here this is Jericho guitar it's a fusion sixth string baritone I think it's right around 27 inches in that a lot of people like the baritones and seven but I like me six because maybe I don't really know what to do with another string so I just do that I got he em cheese in here it's like the Zakk Wylde set and I just put a locking tuners in here Spurs all sort of a fit with all the hardware this one's not the same because the strings too big to fit through these so it's got the normal tuner honor and I use Ernie Ball baritone strings right there I don't think they make them anymore but I get them off the eBay so I still buy them cuz I love them and they work perfect for what I do and I love the gauge like on the baritone have a feel I keep all the volume and tone up on everything I usually don't use this pickup a lot so it's always in the bridge pickup here and just high output gain mostly the whole time and then there's no bevel on this guitar and I hold my guitars pretty high so I use it so it doesn't cut off my blood flow so I just people always ask me why and I know it doesn't look good but it doesn't have to look good if it works it oughta be nice so once I finally get a guitar that's a bevel I want to put that on there but Jericho awesome company been using it for probably two years now close though killer guitar and then honestly a pretty big set up here with the pedals and everything but I got the TV 6505 plus before I had this I had a 6505 and I actually have another 6505 so I've always been a fan of the TV they're straight to the point they're heavy what I like about them too is they're good for the road they're very they take the pain and still work then I got this Mesa cab here it's a normal standard cab got some rips and tears I've used this for about six years in the van and it's got rhinoliner on it which is really hard it's like truck bedliner I think it like sends the bass a la la instead of like if you're watching a band you always feel that the society and everything but with this cab I feel like it sends all that out to the audience which I really like and then just here I got a noise suppressor digital reverb simple reverb and a tuner and that's it so just balls to the wall kind of setup not really like a technical crazy anything so that's it what's up guys I'm Mike from the last 10 seconds of life just showing you what I use first off I got the classic ampeg 810 standard we got a QSC power amp because I just need some clean power to run in I get all of my effects and everything from my axe FX I'm just running a nice patch their secret can't tell you what it is and then we have our core pitch black flow tuner which I've never found a better one but really the key to my sound is the micro tubes b7k this thing is just a beast and I can't get enough of it that's the main part of my tone before I use this guy I was a sansamp and a bass overdrive which is really sick I liked the result but this thing really kind of just puts out more than both of those combined so I have a really stoked on this thing oh really the idea here is the axe-fx gives you all the color that you are looking for you can add a cab in here you can add even I can give a tone stack from a Mesa power stack in the axe-fx and then just run it clean through this power amp instead of a Mesa power amp port I'm learning a Mesa sound you understand and so really the point of the clean power is just to get that sound from A to B and this is my bass right now I just switched to 170 gauge strings from da da Rio they're pretty sweet I was previously using 182 gauge from pallium strings which is great but I was just a little too big it couldn't really bend notes and stuff and just be comfortable jamming and everything this is by the way a Schecter stiletto five stealth it comes inside with a preamp you can see in the back here this is a battery it's not for active pickups it's actually for a preamp inside that gives it his own little clean boost it has active you can add treble bass this is your pickup select and this is your volume I tend to keep my pickups blended I have music men and ap bass I tend to keep them evenly in between because I just get them around this fattest like clean a sound out of it and then my a treble and my bass I usually kind of just play with it further really I usually leave them right in the middle it's just a nice flat tone coming out of the thing that free hand really does a lot the key to my tone is these guys this is a company called lace pickups they have these a luma tone bass bars this thing is just crazy I originally had just the Schecter stop the customer they're basically built like the images they're great they do the job once I put this lace in it's like the faceless round it out and became 3-dimensional it's really drove in that low-end it drives in that high-end everything was just there it even has a higher output than p.m. G's themselves because there's no actual coil in the pickup the totally different technology I don't know it's actually just two conductors they go across the Firth there they're pretty safe all comes together into this big national beast I just try to keep building on and making bigger and
