are you me? I was in this same boat. Really, I just started writing music that I wanted to listen to and everything kinda fell into place from there. I definitely know those feels though, there's so much metal out there that it's hard to find something to latch onto.
>I like the drone and the riff, melodic passages and the growling vocals, but not to the point where I want all of those things at once.
>It was a part of what made me trade in my shitty starter electric rig for a nice acoustic
have you checked out Opeth? they really do a good job of blending great songwriting, riffs, melody, growl vocals, acoustic parts, proggy stuff. or Anciients are somewhat similar and they're fuckin awesome. They do all of those things but not all at once and not to an extent that it gets boring.
>Having what I listen to and what I want to play be so different doesn't help.
I know this feel man. I was there for a long time, but like I said I just started writing the music that I would want to listen to and it all came together. Over the last year I've written almost 4 albums worth of material and the last album I wrote, when I play it or listen to it I can't help but think "this is awesome, this is exactly the music I want to hear. I'd pay money for this." in the least egotistical way possible. I'm just so happy with the fact that I'm finally making the music that I've always wanted to make. It took damn near 10 years of practicing, learning and writing to get here but fuck it just is the most rewarding thing. All good things in time right?
>I really know the feel when metalists are the closest to what you want to do, but none of them go about it from an outside perspective and look at the things you do. I hate to say that a lot of them are also too stuck in the genre
fucking. this. exactly man. I had a kid I used to jam with who was pretty much on the same page as me and it was awesome but he was really stuck in the genre. 1/2

It's to do with the fact that the way it's distributed, gotta jump through a fair few license hoops to get it onto the POD and pirating it would be a bit troublesome, be cool if anyone had a way.

What sort of POD/Line 6 device m8?

>Blackstar
You have to really like their tone, sorta like Krank amps, I personally really don't like Blackstars at all compared to a Peavey, Marshall, Laney, etc.

Despite personal opinions on them they are very popular pickups even to this day. Plus I imagine they got some sort of deal with the big brands to put them in to their guitars.

Pic related is my bass, a Schecter Stilletto 6, absolutely love it, similar to that other Schecter there, highly recommend one if you're a lefty as well

>Bass solos
No one wants to hear it live man unless you are Thundercat levels of virtuoso. The bass solo is the part where everyone walks off to grab a drink or turn around and talk to their mates. Not talking shit about your bass playing abilities but unless you can make something extremely interesting keep the groove going with your instrument

Yes, I did. A lot of people wanted me to go with #3 but I guess the inner 12-year old always wanted a relatively flawless , contrasty and symmetrical top so I went with #6. I think it's going to be awesome.
By the way, that's objectively a better top than my old blue LPs had (see pic), so I guess I really can't complain.

Yeah, my girlfriend is also a heavy sleeper at night but I know I would wake her up if I cranked the DRRi. The amp is 6 feet away from her and there's a concrete wall in between, but still.
Speaking of bedroom volumes, I did the DRRi mod where you remove the tube from the channel 1 and replace the 12AT7 V6 tube for a 12AX7, making the amp break up a lot sooner than it normally would, but it's still way too fucking loud until it starts to distort. Previously it would start to break up at volume 6, now it starts at 3, but that's still enough to have my neighbors call the police if I do it at 11pm (current time here).
I suppose there's really nothing I can do unless I buy an attenuator, right?
Every modern should really come with a headphone out by default nowadays...
