>>122549270Why not elixir?
>tfw Craig's reign of terror is overSorry fo rshilling outsid ethe shill thread which I guess I technically did, I just thought it was fun and no one stopped me. I wasn't really about that aspect, I wanted advice on my playing and over time I got a lot of it between the shitposting on here, so thanks
>>122549270EB cobalts 11-52 or 10-46 >>122549290i used elixir nanoweb exclusively for years. they're very dead sounding
>>122549311>nanoweb exclusively for years. they're very dead soundingDoes elixir have normal uncoated strings? Would be more fair comparison
>>122549325i think so? never tried them, if they do. but why would you use elixir if not for their coated strings?
>>122549335Yea you have a point

K I know shit all about electronics let’s get that out of the way.My aunt who played in a punk band back in the day, claimed she was fucking the Edge for awhile and claims that he left this at her apartment once when he got an urgent call about Africa in the middle of a booty call and never returned.Anyway she gave it to me because she’s a housewife know.I’ve yet to open it up but just done a bit of reading and troubleshooting with an amp and identified the following problems:-the delay and vibrato/chorus just don’t work. It seems that they are all from one chip component so I assume it’s just that one part. -there’s a bum over and above what would be expected as a baseline. I haven’t done anything to identify the frequency of the hum.But>preamp section seems to work fine>really sweetens toneAll the repair men in my small city fucking suck. I would like to be able to sell this thing at some point and I guess I’m just looking for advice on how to get the most for it.It seems my two main options are to try and fuck around with it myself, which would probably be a time investment over and above the max 1k usd I might get for the thing. Or sell it at a discount to someone who wants to muck with it themselves. Any thoughts or advice?
>>122549453Whoops buzz not bum
>>122549427You forgot stripped screw holes.
>>122549466checked and correct
>>122549427What do you mean you don't wanna spend $8000 on a beat up boomer plank that Jimi Hendrix looked at once in 1966!?!?!?
>most distortion pedals are just Rat clones>some are a lot more expensive than the RatWhy shouldn't I just buy a Rat then?
>>122549427You forgot the most important thing about used guitars: They were touched by the balls of other man. That's right. You are playing with the balls from someone who owned the guitar before you.
>>122549777That's why I only buy guitars from women
>>122549453Unscrew it and see the insides to see whether its something you can fuck around with or not, maybe some shit just needs to be soldered and it takes 1 minute to fix
>>122549427>play a virgin instrumentlmfao anon stop browsing polonly boomers and those who drank the kool aid want vintage guitars
>>122549453>My aunt who played in a punk band back in the day, claimed she was fucking the Edge for awhile and claims that he left this at her apartment once when he got an urgent call about Africa in the middle of a booty call and never returned.Anon are you having a stroke wtf how you expect anyone to read that. Is english your second langauge?
tone piss
>>122549908>I can’t understand it so it’s bad writing Retards here really have ego problems. You the same guy who thinks he’s a better songwriter than Bob Dylan and John Prine?
How do I get my neck pickup (humbucker) to sound acceptable with distortion? So, basically anything not this:https://vocaroo.com/1fGABgX95Ccs
https://voca.ro/1OoNPBQP5ACuWhat's this from
>>122550197Try lowering it. Find factory specs for height for that guitar type and work from there.
>>122550197Neck humbucker is for leads, almost no one uses it for rhythm riffs Also pick harder
What is a detail about a guitar that turns you totally off that model or brand?Hard mode: no headstocksFor me, it's the chick tattoo inlays on a PRS.
>>122550229OffsetsThey all look fucking stupid
>>122550214On an LP that seems to apply more, but rhythm on a strat is common enough. Some of Jimi's rhythms were neck (Wind Cries Mary) and Blackmore does a lot of switching.
>>122550229Playing someone elses custom model, unless its something ubiquitous like a les paul. Why would you want to imitate another artist when theres a million other unique guitars out there
>>122549270
>>122548934just get a J Mascis Squier.its a great guitar (for poorfags)
There is not one difference between different brand strings with same construction, but la bella has a little girl with flowers on them. Just saying.
Still here with this memory man deluxe and being retarded with electronics.I opened up the back. Any problems jump out at anyone at a glance? Again, I’m a Neanderthal with this stuff but I’m trying to trouble shoot it so I can making a selling listing and the only repairmen where I live are even more cromagnon than I
>>122550214Can I do hecking metal solo without neck humbucker?
>>122550888Well look if one of the wires is disconnected, if you can solder it back its basically fixed, if the problem is not with wire but with circuit component then you cant fix it without experience
>>122550984Of course :-DDI've always defaulted to neck leads but I'm enjoying the shrill of bridge solos more lately
>>122550197you just dont, it sounds like porridge
Caroline...https://voca.ro/1hrtIPbIuNvj
>>122551009What about neck coil?And what is mid coil then for?I have like a strat but the bridge is humbucker
>>122551003Ok thanks, I eyeballed the wires and the connections and nothing popped out to me but I just wanted to see if there was something obvious I was missing. Think I can diagnose this as beyond me.
>>122551037The other side too?
>>122551025Metal riffs = always bridge humbucker, except for an occasional cheeky split-bridge riff (more of a modern gimmick)Metal leads = shared between bridge and neck humbucker, rarely anything else, but the other positions can be brought in by taste it's just not very usualMetal and distorted tone in general is not a genre of much variance
I think on a standard LP the neck pickup is better for more “floaty” rythm playing, like faux-acoustic stick or kind of slinky stuff like disco, reggae off beats or like the rythm train on “Long Train Running” by the doobies.I see the bridge being better for rythm playing that is more of an actual rythm figure. A lot of 60s stuff for instance, but maybe the most obvious example that jumps out in my mind is something like the rythm riff in “Taking Care of Business”I think for solos the necks strength is when you’re using a lot of legato where as the bridge likes rythmic shots and double stopsThese are just like my opinions man
>>122551066Pls no flame but I have no idea how the circuit board is fixed into the chassis. It’s not connected by any screws on the outside but it’s solidly connected to the chasis so I didn’t want to just yank it out. I guess it’s soldered on or something? There’s no access from the front either.
>>122551120its either screwed in or clamped in or both
>>122551025You can play metal with just a bridge pickup but neck can be used for leads. You can play jazz with just the neck pickup.
>>122551167Thanks, I’ll take another stab at it later this afternoon, just paranoid about making expensive mistakes
>>122551188I cant see from here but looks like those purple holes are where screws are
>>122551206I’ll check it out, thanks for eyeballing it
>>122551085>>122551187Thats cool, thanks.So what is middle pickup then for and why would i want to use lets say bridge+middle or middle+neck positions?And another thing I figured out so far: To do the pinch harmonics it must be bridge pickup (for obvious reasons) so if they are included in solo like Pantera does, everything must be played in neck anyway
>>122551270The bridge picks up the pinch harmonics better but if you just use compression you can cheat the neck ones too. You should probably just use compression when you’re using a lot of them anyway
>>122551293Like compression pedal or something else?
>>122551310Yes, or if you just use compression on a modeler or whatever it’ll work too.Pinch harmonics are naturally quieter than just picking a note. Using the bridge pickup helps to beef up their volume, but compression is just a flattening of all of your dynamics. It tries to make all of your playing the same volume. So the consequence of that is the pinch harmonics really squeal
>>122551381Just to add to this.Players like Pat Buchanan and even Bob Marley were using pinch harmonics in the 60s. It just doesn’t sound like Zakk Wylie because they didn’t have 80s digital compression. That squeal you here in metal is a sound that developed along with technology, so trying to replicate it without the right tools is a losing game.
>>122551428Err uh Roy Buchanan rofl sorry Royboy
>>122551381And why is distortion on its own not enough? Like plug into amp, bridge humbucker position and then distortion to 10?>>122551428Yea I get your point, you can achieve pinch harmonics on acoustic guitar too but they will sound weird I dont have a compressor at hand, but I can try the reaper compressor plugin
>>122551443Because the distortion isn’t doing anything to address the volume disparity between the picked note and the pinch harmonic which is why they will get the squeal - over and above what you would get just doing it on an acoustic - but just sound wimpy
>>122551270Honestly a lot of rock players don't use the middle pickup at all. Like Yngwie and Ritchie Blackmore only have it there for looks. Use the middle pickup if you feel like it and like the tone you get. One of the guys that uses the middle pickup is Steve Morse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sfh54RXq4E
>>122551443Also I just want to say I think that the pinch harmonic sound without compression and distortion is still a good thing to have in the tool box. Used well it can be a really awesome effect. Listen to “Is This Love” by Bob Marley and pay attention to the guitar fills in the between the voice lines. About half the time he’s using pinch harmonics, he gets this really cool sound that makes me think of a bunch of laughing crows or something
>>122551463Steve has also some very special middle setup>>122551485>>122551459Thanks for your input, i will try with the reaper plugin and compare with what i get with distortion
>See guitar for sale at a bargain price>Looks nice and well maintained>"Spares or repairs" due to some damage on the neck>Damage to the neck? I can't see any damage in these pics>It's probably something minor>I bet with the help of /gg/ I could get this baby purring like a pussycat>Notice there's another pic I missed>Entire headstock has been snapped offWe we were so close bros.
>>122550520An LP is still another man’s guitar. You’re just part of his stable.
>>122551558Worst case in those "bargains" can be a broken truss rod fixing which might cost you as much as a new guitar.And you won't even know about it until you get the guitar in person
>>122551601Same for Randy Rhoads' I guess?
>>122551558>>Entire headstock has been snapped offWell damn I sure hope that back can be replaced
>>122551654>>122551678At first I thought it might have a bolt on neck which I'd assume is much easier to replace. Then I found out it was a set neck so didn't even bother.Certainly explained the price at least.
Anons, shill me some guitar that has a tremolo that I can violate as much as I want without guitar going out of tune. In both directions.Preferably explorer shape or similar, but the meme BC rich shapes are acceptable tooSomething like Dimebag's perhaps? But with other colors
>>122551746https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXnbIeOgj6sHere for funsies what truss rod replacement looks like
>>122551760you want a Floyd Rose but not a Floyd Rose Special. Special will stay in tune but it's made of shitty metal so will wear out in a year if you actually use itIbanez Edge are good (basically jap made floyd rose) 1000 are fineobviously the German made is the best but they don't come stock on any OEM guitar you have to spend a couple hundo and install iti would say get a midrange or higher Ibanez RG with the Edge trem
>>122551943Is this https://www.thomann.de/de/ibanez_rg550_pn.htmgood enough or do i need to go even higher and get something with edge zero like this? https://www.thomann.de/de/ibanez_s1070pbz_clb_premium.htm
https://vocaroo.com/1hnKwAbaU01TBOSS FB-2 into ROCKMAN XP100 Neural Amp profile capture (The most aesthetic amp of the 80s... SRD Nasa Tech) jam on top of some YouTube track.
>>122552011i don't think you need to go higher and I'm guessing the difference between the stability of those trems is negligible, it's probably just an ergonomic thingi had an old 550 from the 90's (with the all access neck joint) and it performed flawlessly and was one of the easiest guitars i've ever played
>>122551601I don't even own a les paul I was just saying there's a difference between owning a standard LP versus owning a zak wylde LP or something gay like that
>>122552052Thanks anon, I have currently one which is 2 point knife edge from ibanez and i dont trust it too much. I wouldnt trust it in floating setup eitherGood to know that the proper ones from ibanez are stable enough
>>122551778Just from the thumbnail I knew it was going to be a lot more work than I was imagining.Now I know why they tell retards like me not to try adjusting the truss rod yourself and to get someone who knows what they're doing to do it.
>>122552053The LP Standard literally has the man’s signature on the headstock,
>>122552053By Zak wylde LP you mean his own guitar or some signature edition?
>>122552106I mean you can adjust truss rod, but know which direction you are turning it and do it slowlyMy neck was curved out of the box so I had to adjust it a little. I aint gonna send it back or pay a luthier for 30 seconds of work
>>122552053You could have a luthier to sand it and repaint it. If you're lucky there's even a flamed top underneath.
Playing an LP is playing another man’s guitar. Simple as.I don’t care tho.I just want a Vandenberg so bad bros
>>122552214>Complains about another man's guitar>Wants a Vanden((((Berg))) in the color of a dildoCome on man
>>122552265You really missed the entire point of my point. Maybe you should go read it again.
>>122552214Your point is kind of dumb because the Les Paul that ended up on the market is not really anything like what he wanted and he always played a heavily modded one.I understand thinking of it the same as a modern signature series of guitars, but it was just a marketing thing at the time. The SG was called a Les Paul too but that was a bridge too far for him (or he didn’t want his bitch ex wife to get any money from it so he cut himself out of the deal, depending who you believe)I also think it doesn’t matter at all anyway. If you’re going to mod your guitar then what does it matter what the starting point was. And if you’re just going to play like it was out of the box and take it to guitar center every time you need a string changed then why does it give you anymore cred for being a bare bones American standard Strat instead of an SRV or something
>>122552372Just have a guitar and actually know how it works. I’ve been on stage with people who don’t know that a pickup is a magnet, let alone how to dial in tone, let alone how to do anything with set up or intonation. Don’t be that guy and you’re fine.
>>122552214Tilted pickups look gross and trembuckers exist
>>122552186They grade the maple in the warehouse anon. They don’t just waste the flames on solid finishes
>all that samefagging>thread so dead and empty there's no one left to take the bait
>>122552487I’m just bored between chores and fired off a bunch of replies at once. It’s a little sloppy bitch of me but I’m not running around pretending to be multiple people like a schizo or a fatty
Froosh sucks.That is all.
>>122552161The neck being curved out of box is what makes me dubious about buying online. I just know I'd get the short end of the shitty stick and either have to lug it into town to get fixed or I'd try it myself to save time and money and completely fuck it.
>>122552604If its curved and you spin in correct direction to "uncurve" it you won't break the rod if thats what you had issues with. Its even written in the manual, heres my shitbanez one
>>122552640Thanks that doesn't seem to be as complicated as I thought it might be.Shall be making that online purchase.
>>122552604It’s not that big of a deal to turn the rod a quarter turn in either direction. Just read what you’re doing first and don’t be an ape and turn it like a billion times. It’s not easy to fuck up because it takes a decent amount of force to get even a quarter turn. This and intonation being some hard thing are lies propped up by useless failures so that they can make 50$ half hour service calls until the cow comes home. It’s an employment program. Do it yourself don’t pay some slack jawed Cletus
>>122552700This. I'd only consider paying a tech when something actually broke or when I would need to replace frets because fuck doing that on your ownEverything else is simple enough to be fixable on your own. For action id say get a capo and this ruler thing to measure action.Maybe even get those gauge plates too if they sell it, once you are confident its fun to play around and adjust guitar to make it so much better
>>122552749Ya actual woodworking or electronic work when you’re not trained in them is a different thing but most techs at the shop aren’t going to have any more insight into that than you, a guy with Google does anyway.You can do the whole action setup just with a business card and a piece of printer paper to measure if you’re too lazy to get rulers. Or just feel the distance by tapping at the fret instead of measuring.
>>122552749>For action id say get a capo and this ruler thing to measure action.forgot the image, dummy
Rate my rig fellas. (Ignore the cab and amp on the left, I have nowhere else to put them)Monson Nomad loaded with a Duncan JBJ and MGJ into a Sound City 120R into 2 Hiwatt SE4123 cabs. I've got a pedal board but I've mostly been toying with single pedals, distortion, boost, and fuzz. Currently trying out the resistorhead Peepee pedal which is basically a Peavey Decade in a box. Sounds solid thus far. The Hiwatts pretty much make anything you run through them shine.
>>122552791This shit?
using a string height gauge to set action is smartusing any kind of tool to measure relief is retardedget the neck perfectly straight, if it buzzes in middle loosen it a bit until it doesn'tthe automotive feeler gauge is a MEME and if you set your guitar to fender recommended ".010" or whatever it will play like SHIT because that's way too much relief
>>122552811looks ass
The only guitar repairman I know is fat and ugly and only novelty dress up bands who specifically want a goblin-esque guitarist let him in. Don’t pay the fat guitar center goblin his tax anons.
>>122552811If I had such thing in my room not just the neighbours but the entire street would hear this shit lmao
>>122550229non-angled tunersever since I bought a Warwick have I noticed how much nicer it feels to tune without having to make that awkward 90* bend on your wrist but just keep your arms stretched.I have angled all my tuners on my other instruments since then.
>>122552815lol fucking basic bitch opinions.personally i like a shit ton of relief.
>>122552839Luckily being in a basement helps but yeah it gets loud as shit.
>>122552833i knew a luthier and i shit you not he is not in federal prison because he raped a child.
>>122552845Huh. I always thought they looked dumb but you honestly sold me.
>>122552872We enable these pedophiles and goblins through our own indolence. Let every man take up a driver and intonate his own Gibson tune-o-matic bridge.
what actually makes a guitar have good tuning stability? is it the wood of the neck? tuners? strings?
>>122552879screw the visuals, it really feels amazing. You can try it out before commiting to it. Just take the screw out and angle a tuner and start turning. If you really enjoy the feeling much more like I did screw it in place. I used wood filler to fill the old screw holes on my instruments and it's as if they were never there.
>>122550229So assuming no headstock and no defects but just from the image alone assuing guitar has no fabrication flaws?Id say Les Paul and SG shapes are big turn off for me because they look ugly as fuckMaybe I'm not cut for gibson. The explorer and the GOOD type of flying Vs (with the cut in the back so you can actuallay put it on a leg and not the bulky garbage) are nice though
>>122552879>upright pianocan't afford a concert grand?
>>122552907Don’t discount how you actually string it at the headstock even if it sounds like a boomer meme treble strings on 3+3 Gibson headstocks do so much better with tuning stability just by being wound up
>>122552907nah man. that's a meme or user error. never had a guitar go out of tune. just tune it and play it. do you even know many pounds of force are on the strings? get the fuck out of here with this conspiracy shit.
>>122552907How does wood matter? Wood makes it go out of tune because of weather and temperature which is what happens with every wood so you have to retune it every day if your climate and humidity changes. But within a single play session it doesnt matter.Its mainly tuners (if you need more stability = locking tuners) and bridge. If you have a tremolo bridge it can go out of tune when you bend strings because the tension is being redistributed to other strings instead. Strings only play role if they are new because first time you put them on they will stretch a little.And to compensane small tune shifts you can get yourself evertune bridge as well, they are set to keep specific tension up so they will readjust the tension if your neck changes a little etc.Downside of evertunes is that you cant change the tuning
>>122552923grands you put in a house are a meme. This one at my house is the top of the first line that Yamaha sold in Canada and it’s stayed in pretty good shape, it’s got a felt pedal feature which is kind of a cool novelty thing. I have access to the cool churches in my city for organs and grands. It’s the upside of getting bummed I guess. https://voca.ro/14q5SjlG58Ul
>>122552845>>122552879most recent tuner angling I've done. It hurt my soul to open holes into the wood but tuning fells so much nicer now.Ibanez, Mayones and many custom shops like for example Adamovic do it for ergonomic reasons, too.
>>122552983Holy fuck what the fuck is this horror
>>122552974>Its mainly tuners (if you need more stability = locking tuners)not true. string binding and temperature changes are what makes guitars go out of tune. even the shittiest tuners hold tune perfectly fine, it's just harder to get them into tune because the gear ratios might suck
>>122552997Whats the point of locking tuners then?
>>122552983For me it’d just be an option I add to my list for a someday dream guitar. I don’t think I care enough to mod it onto one I have. But thanks for the info!
>>122552907It's the tuners for the most part and (sometimes) the bridge for a minor part.I just recently swapped the cheap tuners on a very cheap Harley Benton bass I had with the tuners I replaced from my Warwick and the motherfucker has not gone out of tune whereas before I had to retune it after some useage.Also the turning ration is way higher on fancier tuners which allow you to tune much much more accurately. Don't underestimate that, too.
>>122553008making it easier to change strings, doesn't require winds to function
Submitted for your consideration, anon
>>122553008what's the point of the vaccine? it's made my retards for other retards. just cause something exists and is used by many people does not make it valid.
>>122553019Oh thats cool, not very useful in the long run (winding takes 2 seconds with a drill) but cool
>>122552995>what the fuck is this horrorIbanez and many other brands do it, too. It looks way worse from the back than from the front. The ergonomics are really fucking nice, though.

Daddario NYXL 10-46 Balanced Tension my belovedbehold the best strings on the market that I've ever used, nothing has ever come close, not even expensive ass elixirs or rotosounds.
>>122554195Expensive strings are a meme. 10 euros is where it is at. 25 at most. Anything above is a scam
>>122554236My problem is that my hands' sweat is super acidic, so the cheap strings end up going dead super fucking fast, and these are like 12 dollars. I'd go through like 4 of the $7 ernie ball super slinky sets in the same time frame that it would take for me to go through a single set of the NYXLs, which can last me like 4 whole months and still sound good. So in actuality, I'm saving money by using these even though on the surface they seem more expensive.
>>122552553No he doesn't. You're just saying that to spite me. You know he is objectively great.

Froosh killed River gave him bad drugs
>>122555634River was going to die anyways
I got the buzz stop off my jazzmaster parts guitar today and finally got around to giving it a proper setupI think the buzz stop roller thingy is kinda cool but it messed with the sound a hair, I kinda like that springy sound from the trem. I also liked the increased tension that came from having it on desu, I might step up to 11s soon
>>122555643If froosh didn’t kill river, George Lucas would have made Indiana jones prequels instead of the phantom menace
>>122549427It's even worse than that. You're strictly buying an inferior product. Guitar people have this idea that all the components in guitars and amplifiers are like corked wine, they aren't. Older capacitors for instance are far less performant than modern ceramics before even accounting for drying out over time. Those old capacitors can and will give you serious technical problems and can even be dangerous in certain circumstances. Guitar companies are well aware of this but they profit from wilful ignorance anyway
>>122555679Oh well, I'd much rather have John's amazing music in existence than a Indiana Jones prequel. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the only great movie in the series anyways. All downhill from there. Temple of Doom was okay.
>>122555675Was that the one with extra distance between bridge and trem? Did you shim it?
>>122555819yup, I gave it about 0.25 degrees tilt in the neck and raised the bridge, seemed to solve the break angle issues so I technically don't need it anymore.
>>122555733Temple of Doom is the only real kino one. Nazis are too cliche.
how do I adjust intonation at the saddle when the strings are in the way of getting to the screws?
>>122556025slacken the strings, bend em out of the way, adjust the intonation, tune up to pitch, test intonation at 12th, rinse repeat until spot on. Might seem tedious but that's how real repairmen get these things intonated properly.
this would be great if it didn't have the bigsby
>>122556050just get a Cardinal series CS350

>>122556216nta but those are made in indonesia not japan>let everyone know how retarded you areoof
>>122556667But its not. Holy fuck you ESL's are retarded.
>>122556743ok retard
>>122556621Nvm I figured it out it's just an I7
>>122556667>>122556216>when /gg/ is so poor and third world that they don't know the guitar they're shopping for online was made by their cousin two villages overholy shit lmfao this general never fails to deliver
>>122556025Next time you have the strings off flip the bridge around so the screws face the tail piece. Makes it way easier. Every guitar they sell in “Nashville” style has this done out of the gate but you can flip your own. You just need to readjust the screwdriver every half turn so it doesn’t rape the string. Good luck
>>122556851>>122556049>>122556025Also you shouldn’t need to completely slack the strings each time you readjust. Guides will tell you to retune each time you adjust the saddle but that’s just because adjust the saddle will throw the string slightly out of tune so you just reset each time. You can move the saddles while the strings are tuned to pitch with proper driver-fu. It’s easier if the bridge is flipped around but probably doable either way
>>122554332>im so butthurt i have to respondlmao. We know. We know.
>>122556743I guess the made in Indonesia stamp doesn't mean anything?
>>122556844I think everyone is kind of used to it by now, /gg/ has long since become a turd world colony. We tried to move to /bant/ last week and none of them would leave /mu/ because then they'd have flags and IDs, basically it just confirmed that this general was the exclusive domain of samefagging Brazilians.
>>122556935please move to /bant/ nothing stopping you

https://voca.ro/15Y4UhNkfLci
>>122557112He’s a pretty extreme case but you can’t really ignore these wackos in any art field.They’re the people that have been trying to force a square peg into a round hole for their hole lives and feel like it’s “their turn.” Instead of just being some happy boomer dilettante they go around throwing tantrums. No one can really stop them because one of the concessions we’ve made for the comforts of modern society is you can no longer Tsujikiri a mother fucker like this who literally all of society hates. You just have to awkwardly annoy them and let them yell themselves hoarse. Practice here
