GUITAR RIG - THE CHANGCUTERS ( Alun Utara Solo 24 Agustus 2013 )

Fender Telecaster
Kembali lagi bercerita tentang gitar elektrik!

The Changcuters adalah grup musik asal Bandung yang dibentuk pada tahun 2005. Grup musik ini beranggotakan Moh. Tria Ramadhani alias Tria (vokal), Muhammad Iqbal atau Qibil (backing vocal & gitar), Arlanda Ghazali Langitan atau Alda (gitar), Dipa Nandastra Hasibuan atau Dipa (bass), dan Erick Nindyoastomo alias Erick (drum).

The Changcuters mulai dikenal sejak membintangi iklan selular provider dengan jargon “beuu”. Nama mereka pun melejit setelah membintangi film THE TARIX JABRIX (2008).

Film itu juga mempopulerkan album kedua mereka, MENCOBA SUKSES KEMBALI (2008) yang berada di bawah label Sony BMG. Pasalnya beberapa lagu dalam album tersebut digunakan untuk soundtrack film yang mereka bintangi.

Awalnya, band ini didirikan oleh Dipa, Tria dan Qibil yang merupakan teman satu kampus. Mereka pun mengajak Alda dan Erick, yang juga teman Qibil main band saat SMU.

Nama The Changcuters bukan bermakna jorok atau berasal dari Bahasa Sunda yang berarti pakaian dalam pria. Tapi berasal dari nama seorang sahabat, Cahaya, yang populer di mata mereka lantaran lucu.

Sebelum bergabung dengan Sony BMG, mereka pernah merilis album perdana bertajuk MENCOBA SUKSES yang dirilis bulan Agustus 2006.

Setelah sukses dengan berbagai macam singel dan albumnya, akhirnya The Changcuters bersama dengan GG Mild dan NadaPromotama berhasil menggoyang Alun - Alun Utara Kota Solo, Sabtu malam 24 Agustus 2013. Saya  berkesempatan menjadi MC acara tersebut dan berhasil melakukan sedikit interview dengan para gitarisnya serta juga dapat mengabadikan sistem Guitar Rig dari kedua gitaris The Changcuters ini. Mereka adalah gitaris yang cukup simple, tanpa pernah melakukan modifikasi tuning gitar pada setiap lagunya, sehingga mereka cenderung menggunakan tuning standar ( e-B-G-D-A-E ). Untuk ampli pada saat konser kemarin, mereka hanya menggunakan Marshall JCM 900, itu dikarenakan supaya lebih simpel dan lebih mudah disediakan oleh pihak Sound. Tetapi untuk rekaman dipastikan sistem mereka akan lebih kompleks. Inilah beberapa screenshots dari guitar rig mereka -As Simple As Life-.

Cheers !!!
