Members hairmetal Posted March 15, 2009 Members Share Posted March 15, 2009 How did Izzy manage to play his white ES-175 at a cranked volume without crazy feedback???? I think the 175 is so cool - and looks amazing but the feed back i have experienced at rock levels is crazy! [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CanIBDom Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I really liked his later stuff toohttp://www.snakepit.org/izzy.html I bought Izzy Stradlin and the JuJu Hounds on cassette when it first came out and picked up a cd copy when National Record Mart went out of business around '02. I think "Shuffle it All" has been in every rock playlist I've ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tom_s252 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Back to the matter at hand, there are many things you can do to stop hollowbody guitars feeding back, including stuffing them with things (foam, socks, whatever springs to mind...). Maybe Izzy's was "treated" in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Izzy's was "treated" in some way? how exactly do you stuff them, how much do you stuff them, and how does it affect tone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, I'm afraid, but I imagine there are some kicking around on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slownightsolong Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I had the same feed back problem with my Casino at live shows. Taping over the F-holes did help quite a bit. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Same as this guy, playing huge full hollow Gibbo Byrdlands, in to a WALL of 5150's And he has NO feedback ishoooo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretmonster Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 Installing violin posts is a relatively easy procedure if you can figure out where the vibration centers are. These are cylindrical posts cut just right to wedge between the front and back. I had mine professionally done and it cost just $30 and works great. I actually ended up removing one of the posts however as I had lost a bit of sustain. One post turned out to be the perfect compromise for me. PS Saw Izzy fairly recently with the Georgia Satellites and that boy can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I have almost zero feedback with this rig ! . . . into this . . . I found, that if i stand more than 10feet away, and 'off-center' of the direct line of the speakers (two Marshall 1960B cabs) i keep in incontroll with ease ! I also keep my back to the cabs at all time ! No Worries ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 211dave112 Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 i wouldn't be surprised if it was stuffed or had violin posts but i think also the fact that g'n'r were a big band on big stages so he had room to get away from the amp, feedback is harder to control if you can't get away from the amp or stand off to the side of the amp easily.

Very true that !When i am alone on the HUGE stage of the church (all alone) i can crank that 50W Bassman to 10, with ZERO feedback. But then i am more than 12 feet in front of the nearest cab, and standing atleast at a 25degree angle to the axis/"centre line" of the cab.Oh and the reverb of the church is the best i have ever heard. The church was spesifically designed/build with perfect acoustics in mind though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CanIBDom Posted March 16, 2009 Members Share Posted March 16, 2009 I remember reading in an issue of Guitar World (somewhere around '93-'96) about stuffing a t-shirt inside to control the feedback. I have no idea who suggested doing this--this is one of those situations where I've remembered the message much, much longer than the messenger.
