>>121554523There any reason to upgrade from a Squier Tele thinline? It has a good tone, stays in tune, very playable and I like it a lot (after getting it setup). Is a Fender a significant step up for jams and small gigs?

>>121555226>In his early days, Collins worked as a paint mixer and truck driver to make ends meet.[52] In 1971, when he was 39 years old, he worked in construction, since he could not make a proper living from his music. One of his construction jobs was a remodeling project for Neil Diamond.[53] He continued with this type of work until the late 1970s,[54] when his wife, Gwen, talked him into returning to a career in music.[55]Albert Collins - Ice Pickin' (1978)>age at release: 46

I want a Revstar. Is it worth going for the more expensive Japanese model over the middle tier standard model made in Indonesia? I played a cheap Element model at a local shop and really like it and am willing to pay more than the $500 price tag of the Element for a higher tier Revstar model.
>>121556250if I can afford a poorfag gibson, most people should be able to.
>>121556281I would have to trade-in my Kurt Cobain(TM) Fender Jaguar to afford a Gibson
>>121556250Sunburst Jazzmasters look so good. I kind of regret selling mine but I just never played it. They look so slick.
>>121556281Nice. Get some fretboard darkener on that neck and you’ll be good to go
>>121555148this guy>>121556362
is this amp a meme (50W Mk. II) or something actually decent? my fender mustang I've been using for a home/jam with friends amp is beat to shit and I'm looking for something with a little more grunt.
>>121556395I save lives
>>121556402I have that amp. It's pretty decent. Not as good as a tube amp, but also good for the price. I'm looking to get a half stack right now
>>121556335What did you play instead?
>>121556250What the fuck is up with that Jaguar
>>121554897maybe he should chill and just beato his meato for a while
>>121556402If you're playing with a rhythm section I recommend at least a 50w halfstack
Store near me has that fake Rickenbacker Jackson bass for less than half of MSRP, do I pull the trigger bassfags?
>>121556471It’s a Johnny Marr Jag, he replaced the switches with a 4-way selector. Much better imo
mods are asleep, post shitty equipment you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy
>>121556507Any other colors? Fuck no if that’s the only one
>>121556542They have the red one too but I like the green. What I really want is MIJ Aerodyne but that's quadruple the price and Jacksons are just edgy Fenders anyway.
>>121556638Yeah I want an aerodyne too. Dolphin Grey. Might sell my American Jazz Bass for one desu
>>121556434Strats. I always go back to Strats, I buy other guitars and once the honeymoon phase is over they end up just sitting there while I continue to go back to my Strats. I keep a Tele around for the specific bridge pickup sound but other than that Strats just feel the most natural to me. Yeah they’re boring and basic but I don’t care.
>>121554770>The logo is deeply embarassinghonestly i respect Squier more than current MIM. i see fender with black plastic truss rod hole, that is what I consider embarrassing. they are btfo by every other brand at 850 dollars. at least the Squier player is a value chad, and CV Squiers are legit good for their price point. way better than the OLD MIM Standards, maybe not technically as good as the Player Series but within reach and cost less than half the price>Thinlines are gay as fucktrue, hella gay
>>121556429>Not as good as a tube ampit really depends, cheap tube amps are way worse than BOSS Katana. I'd say any tube amp that costs equal or less than a Katana is going to sound way worse. Truth is Katanas are fucking goated, and 99 percent of /gg/ would see no benefit from a real tube amp because you're all apartment dwelling pedalfags that can't go louder than whisper volume
>>121556638>tim pool bass
>>121556693Yeah I definitely love my Strat and play it all the time. It’s basic but also there are certain tones you can’t get anywhere else. I’d say I play both the Strat and JM equally. I tend to switch between all my guitars daily, keeps things interesting
>>121557089I have a lot of guitars too but I tend to wife one up for months while the others go neglected. I wish I had an excalibur, just ONE guitar that would be the one forever
>>121557077Playing without pedals is gay as aids. Might as well play a fucking acoustic guitar normalfag
>>121556402It's for real. The only people who will disagree are 1975 boomers who are still stuck in the 80s or who worship too many 'gurus' without trying things out themselves. It's not the 30s anymore, and tech has progressed to the point that more-than-decent amps come out at all price points. More importantly, it's not some fragile tube system that will need $550 in service from a tech every 18 months.
>>121557077>that can't go louder than whisper volumeand yet i still need a half stack because...b-because i just do, okay????
>>121557111Yeah I enjoy having a lot of tones and vibes, can’t realistically see myself ever finding the one but I sure as fuck try. Eventually I’ll get a 335, an SG, and a Rick and be done. I wish PRS guitars didn’t sound like total shit as I’ve always wanted one, they’re beautiful
>>121557111>I wish I had an excalibur, just ONE guitar that would be the one foreverThat would be my tele, but unfortunately I need to do my gay shredding, so I need to find a "metal guitar" too
>>121555247Where's the chords, sir?Emwell i woke up this morningAand i head on down that roadEmyeah i woke up this morningA7and i head on down that lonely roadB7that lonely road ooooooohEmall that cotton in my eyes oh lordBmi owe the man money, but my pockets Emthey got holes
>>121555486Entire song? Plastic JesusOtherwise it was the riff from Rock you Like a Hurricane probably
>>121555486House of the Rising Sunbest beginner song, has basically every cowboy chord and you have to be able to let every note ring out to pull it off, can't fake it and it's a banger
>>121556281I never liked the way les pauls felt to play. Maybe it's the scale length.
>>121557089I just really love Strats. It’s like I can play them without even thinking about it, like they’re an extension of my body. That sounds retarded but I don’t know how else to describe it. Every other guitar I’ve had even if I really liked them it’s was always like I was still consciously aware of the guitar that I was playing but with Stratocasters it’s like the guitar disappears. I don’t know how to describe it and that sounds gay. They just click for me in a way that other guitars don’t even if I really love the other guitars. I love my Tele and I loved my Jazzmaster but they’ve just never felt as effortless as a Strat for me. Lots of big name people play Strats but that doesn’t matter to me, but definitely my favorite big name Strat player is Rory Gallagher. When I was a teenager my dad loved him and he was the first Strat player that made me specifically want a Stratocaster.
>>121556693The strats fretboard is way narrower than a jazzmasters. It makes complex chords more annoying- specifically partial barring where you need to double-joint bend a finger and want the string below it to ring clearly. It's way easier to keep things muted on a narrow neck though.
>>121557627me but with strats. nut width is too narrow for my chunky (not obese) fingers
>>121557634I feel exaclty the same but with my teleVery interesting sensation. It also allows me to play faster for some reason. Maybe it's just blessed
>>121557627none of the classic electric gibsons consider ergonomics at all. Leo Fender prioritized that.but honestly, Explorers are hella comfortableLes Pauls and SG's are both really uncomfortable to play sitting or standingMy Les Paul would make my forearm bleedNever owned an SG but it was my favorite looking guitar and I always thought I wanted one until I played one and just couldn't get over how uncomfortable it was
>>121557026Idk I never had a standard before. Both of my fenders were players series. Back when I got them they hadn't adjusted the price levels yet and doubled the price of bean fenders and squires were still absolute dogshit on par with starcasters.
>>121557114Pedals are just what people use to cover up a lack of theory. Why learn more chords when you can buy a different noise and then continue playing roots and fifths
>>121557645>The strats fretboard is way narrower than a jazzmastersthis is not true, where'd you hear that?
>>121557662did you not start out playing acoustic?average autistic guitar has all the things you complain about dialed up to 300.
>>121557703I actually did because my mom is a b-word and wouldn't spring for an electric until I proved that I wasn't going to give it upBUT the next christmas I got an electric and the acoustic basically gathered dustI like to play lead. I took private lessons and after a few months my teacher put an unwound g on my guitar because it was holding me backhe was an EVH devotee and a mullet wearing alcoholic chad
>>121557736>my mom is a b-wordZoomies are so fucking lame
>>121557750i'm a xillenial I just respect the rules of 4channel.org and do not swear on blue board
>>121557650It’s really cool having a guitar/style of guitar that just meshes so well with you. It’s nice having a specific guitar or maybe multiples of the same kind of guitar that you just know you can pick up and work without even thinking about it, like the guitar doesn’t fight you in any way whatsoever. It’s a really cool feeling when you “find” your guitar. Like yeah other guitars are cool and it’s fun owning and playing other guitars but knowing that you can just pick up the old faithful one and know it inside and out and just almost subconsciously work with it is a really cool thing.
>>121557694Maybe it's my strat because I got a special edition but the string separation at the first position is way narrower. I have something like a texas or lonestar or something like that that came with two texas special hot pickups and a seymour duncan pearly gates. I think the neck might be 70s style and have a more curved radius or something
>>121557771It truly is. Thank you for putting into words, anon.
>>121557114I have hella pedals but I'm not a pedalfag. I don't even know, at least 27. there are 13 on my board. But when I say pedalfag I mean people who use so much effects at all times, "shoegayzers", that it sounds like a synth. Don't get me wrong, I own 4 big muffs, I have an EHX microsynth, I have some wacky ass shit but what's the point in having a 2000 dollar Fender Amp if you just make your guitar sound like a Sega Genesis with shit 24/7? The benefits of a good quality tube amp are completely lost on someone who never plays clean or with just light ODDespite me having a bunch of wacky effects, 99 percent of the time I'm playing guitar I prefer it to sound like an electric guitar
>>121557763Just write that she is a bitch no one will care
>>121557838this
>>121557780vintage fenders you had a choice between a (roughly 41mm) and b (42mm)I have a tele with 43mm but most of the fenders I've owned have been 42mm and I think it was in the 90's when all (USA) fenders were 42mm for the most poartbridge spacing was different on vintage too, modern USA fenders are a bit wider at the bridge and the MIM and Squiers were more narrowcurrently player series has jumped to the old Am STD string spacing at bridge, but squier is still a bit narrower at the bridge
>>121557912I got mine in like 2011 and it was some kind of mexican players texas strat with the fat headstock and different pickups
1990-2004 was the guitar peak.
I think I want a Mustang. I don’t need any other guitars and have spent like $4000 on guitar stuff this year but I don’t know I just am thinking about picking up a Mustang. I don’t need another single coil Fender (especially a “student” model that costs as much as a regular old Stratocaster or Telecaster) but I’ve just been thinking about a white with tortoiseshell Mustang a lot.

Heritage guitar owners worship Gibson so hard they want a guitar made in the original Gibson building, but is not an authentic Gibson because Gibson's aren't good enough.Have I got that right?
>>121558037The ones I own>>121558053And this since I sold mine
>>121558161Yes.
>>121558161Boomers are retarded. Anything and I mean anything made in Japan mogs anything made in the us for like 20 years now
>>121558161years ago I delivered pizza (i was in college shut up) in a wealthy suburb and one time I pulled into this house and some dude was jammin' the blues in the garage.I walked up and it was a middle aged man with pink polo, khaki shortsit was like 90 degrees outside, he was forced into garage by wife and ordered pizzaI was like, "hey cool guitar what is that?"he was like, "it's a heritage... it's made in the original Gibson factory"I told him that I was a player too and that I played a strat and actually had a show that night at a barhe just nodded real fast, handed me the money and 5 dollar tip He was so mad that I was in my 20's, had long hair, was stonedwhile he probably worked 60 hours a week to own a mcmansion and his bride probably got fat, and even though he pulled in the big bucks his wife wouldn't let him play in the air conditioned househe had to play in the garage like he was still a kid

>>121558849PRS is Gibson and Fender but actually good.
>>121557634Yeah Rory rules. Walk on hot coals live 74 version is unironically the peak of classic rock guitar
>>121559107I've never played a PRS but I am open minded after hearing how autistic the owner is about QC. Is that only true on their higher end models?Do they make any jazzboxes?
>>121557685Might as well just play an acoustic guitar if tone doesn’t matter at all. Faggot
>>121559202
The price of guitars is crazy. I thought it was a buyer's market.
>>121557838Yeah I agree with that. I got a microcosm last year and am selling that shit, it turns your guitar into something completely different and it takes over your tone entirely. It’s cool for 2 weeks. My other pedals are just reverbs, delays, drives. Couple modulation pedals. Some stuff is definitely weirder and gives my tone a different flavor but I want absolutely nothing to do with a pedal that totally departs from what an electric guitar should sound like
>>121559248people just say that because lead addled chinkplanks are everywhere. Meanwhile if you want a guitar that wont make your family sick and kill you in 20 years, you have to pay $2500 minimum
>>121559248people who buy new guitars are tarded
>>121559248>The price of guitars is crazy. I thought it was a buyer's market.they are cheap, i see virtually mint guitars going for half msrp on facebook marketplace and craigslist everyday where i liveget the fuck off REVERBeveryone there is scammer "i know what i got" boomersreal life musicians are losers and poor, constantly hocking their shit for drug money
>>121559438reverb is great. I will gladly pay more to buy from a white owned shop in a red state and have a 14 day return policy than meat some violent minority in a wal mart parking lot
>>121559729>meatKEK I dont know how I typed that, not on phone btw
>>121559438Fentanyl has killed them all off. Pawnshop and Craigslist steals are a thing of the past.
>>121559729mmm meat
>>121559729dude you talk to the guy on the phone first. if he sounds black you just nope out, it's not rocket science.Where I live (Indianapolis) most of the guys selling shit are rich boomers from the suburbs unloading virtually unplayed guitars at a loss because their midlife crisis didn't work out and they hate playing guitar
>>121559815well I guess you nailed it there, really depends where you live. I live in a very rural area and there are about 2 music shops within a 70 mile radius and they are both ran by retards who cant intonate a tune-o-matic bridge
https://youtu.be/_cV-sUpv8ro?si=lq8RRq5EClbvEYsw
>>121559438I see shops list mint 'used' guitars for 65% of new price on the reg. I think it's quite common for them to blow out old stock this way.
>>121557332https://voca.ro/1mEUVPULfcdP
>>121559864Hey I've used Reverb before too. My number one is from Reverb but I absolutely overpaid. Truthfully I haven't bought a pawn shop/cl guitar in 10 years so I might be wrongI once got an American Standard strat for 250 dollars at a pawn shop (they had it listed for 400 and I pointed out that they had changed the bridge pickuip) and the pickup was a fucking Dimarzio humbucker lmao.Unfortunately nowadays pawn shops are pretty much dead because they all just open REVERB shops and anything that isn't a squier/epiphone never touches the floor because they can go on reverb and sell for premiumi mean motherfuckers are paying 500 dollars on reverb for squier strats with rosewood fingerboardsbecause of Joe Biden
>>121559965>Unfortunately nowadays pawn shops are pretty much dead because they all just open REVERB shops and anything that isn't a squier/epiphone never touches the floor because they can go on reverb and sell for premiumkek both of the mentioned shops just have a bunch of cheap $200 squire shit on the walls.
>>121560024you know more often than not you can offer 50 percent and they'll take it. the pawn shops will give you maybe 50 bucks for a squier strat. they put it on floor for 200 offer 100 they don't give a shit, that's 100 percent profit
>>121559965>I once got an American Standard strat for 250 dollars at a pawn shop (they had it listed for 400 and I pointed out that they had changed the bridge pickuip) and the pickup was a fucking Dimarzio humbucker lmao.I hate you. My dream is finding an Epiphone sold by the family of a guy who wired in a PAF and then died.
>>121560080I'm just done with cheap little $200 guitars, I bend too hard and they wear out. Just not worth upgrading them.
>>121560103to be fair the truss rod was maxed out and it was basically a piece of shit. I sold it to another guy a year later for break even
I am finally figuring out the fucking fretboard. Jesus Christ what a nightmare instrument this is. I cannot think of a less logical way to create music
>>121560197It is actually genius once you get past the initial curve. Also if you are a fag you could just tune the entire guitar to 4ths or something to make it brainless like a bass/violin/cello
>>121560197Yeah until you have to transpose something. I can play anything in C Major on a keyboard, but fuck if I can play that thing in D Major without having to practiceOn guitar, the shapes are goofy but they are the same in every keyTransposing is really really fuckin easy compared to keyboards
>>121560241god this, on keyboard you have different fingerings for each hand, and for each scale. its a fucking nightmare but you HAVE to use the correct fingerings otherwise you will plateau
>>121560241Yeah but on the piano there is only a single place on the keyboard for each note. That trumps every single advantage the guitar has because you can play the exact same fucking note in a billion different locations which makes it infinitely more complex than just learning the scales and chords on the keyboard once
>>121560336idk, my first musical venture was on my family's hammond organ as a kid. I figured out a bunch of tunes I started guitar at 11 and after a couple years I got pretty good. Today, I can say confidently I'm in the top 15 percent of guitar players but I'm only top 40 percent of key players Guitar is way easier to me. After you learn the 3nps major scale in all modes, it's just fucking coasting. It's not even visual after that, you just feel it

>>121560631its just a cover of wonderwall wdym
>>121560613https://voca.ro/196CEK14kRhW
>>121560406Weird to think what top 15% actually is. Like of every single guitarist how good is that? I have virtually no vocabulary whatsoever as a soloist and just noodle around with arpeggios and little approach notes and blue notes and shit. I don’t memorize licks or transcribe or any shit like that that would actually get me good at lead guitar. My technique is random and unpolished. But I can learn songs and parts extremely fast and I have a really good feel from playing bass for many years. I’m also getting a lot better the past year. I’d say I’m moving up to the 50th percentile from the 75th percentile off pure musical talent and not even really being a dedicated guitarist at all. All of my normie friends and even some amateur musicians think I’m good as shit at it. Top 15% to me seems like approaching a pro level guitarist who isn’t necessarily pro. Like the gap from 50% to 20% is probably a shitload easier to close than the gap from 15% to 10%. I know a lot of guys in the 15%-20% zone, a handful around 10% and then a couple dudes who are definitely top 2-3% guitarists out there, with the 1% being the very best guitarists alive.

>>121561093the Novo by miles. Makes the others feel cheap even though they’re all American made and great guitars. The Novo and the Les Paul are in their own category far above everything else. Jaguar would be number 2 offset because it sounds amazing even though the Jazzmaster plays better. Once I upgrade the Jazzmaster pickups away from those damn V-Mod II’s it’ll be a lot tougher to decide which I prefer. I love them all though, they all have their place and I play them all regularly. But if I had to pick a single guitar to do everything it is the Serus J.
>>121561299how do you feel about the Novo looking retarded? does design not factor into your opinion at all? I think it's hideous.
>>121560939Corgan is surprisingly really good. It’s a shame his songwriting ability completely fucking died in the late 90s
i dont like offsetsthey look like derpy explorers
>>121561366as a guitarist Corgan is my hero. He has a fluidity. I am well past my prime, I learned all SP songs but I can't play lead like that guy. He was so young when Gish came out and listen to the fuckin leads. He's just a natural\It's easier for me to play speed metal than this kind of shit. Corgan has this wild, completely unique liquid stylehttps://youtu.be/5GHAea0aiCU
>>121558577There's no recovery from this
>>121561339I unironically think it’s the coolest looking electric guitar ever made. I have no clue why it is so polarizing but there is no middle ground with that design and some people truly hate it. I wouldn’t buy it if I thought it looked like shit, I’m ocd about designs, colors, fretboard darkness, etc
>>121561420Yeah that’s insanely good and unique. Fluid is a good way to describe it. I am so fucking grateful I was alive in that era and experienced being a kid when all that stuff was coming out. The early 90s were amazing
for me, it's the Burns Hank Marvin
>>121561568
>>121561568>>121561580looks like a fake strat to me
should i settle for this epiphone or go for the real thing?
>>121561967Looks good to me. I love my Epiphone Joe pass. Zero interest in upgrading
list of valid guitars: Fender Telecasterlist of not good guitars: everything else, especially Jazz guitars with gay wood bridges, wound 3rd strings
why are hipster nu males obsessed with Telecasters? Does it let them pretend to be masculine or something? Dont get me wrong I like a good Tele, but all I see playing Teles these days are numales with soibeards
>>121562174Sweety, that's not a list. That's one guitar!
>>121561580>dat scroll headstock
>>121561420>i am one>fluidPlease.He also just embraced the trashy zoom sound all guitarists shunned back then

>>121554523Jag, Mustang or Jazzmaster for producing shoegaze?
>>121563942jag
>>121563942jazz
>>121562334The most anoying thing is they always seem to put humbuckers or a rail humbucker in the bridge and destroy the actual telecaster tone.
>>121562334i haven't seen that. no idea what you are talking about.
>>121563942Gretsch 6118 Anniversary
Who do you consider your single greatest influence on your guitar playing?Mine is Andy Summers; Johnny Marr comes in a close second.
>>121565379Sarah Vaughan.
>>121555486Godfather waltzBut I'm learning harmonica, not guitar.
>>121565379Keith Rowe
>>121559427>poorfags actually cope like thislmfao
>>121565656but you can buy more guitar for the same money? idk why anyone wouldn't leverage depreciation to stretch their dollar. that's more money to spend on other guitars, pedals or handjobs at the local strip mall massage parlor run by vietnamese
>>121557634been maining a strat for like 25 years and i'm the same way. i always thought it was just familiarity but maybe there's something more

>>121566006damn man. 25 years and nothing to show for it?just posting like a fag in a dead general.bet you don't even get pussy.abysmal.
>>121556402Anyone know if the Boss Katana pedalboard can configured as a collection of stomp boxes, or is it just a mess of amp presets like most modeler boards?It would be neat if I could just have my basic tone, then the entire board builds off that tone as a traditional stomp box pedalboard would.I'd have overdrive, dirt, delay, reverb, etc - on top of the original tone in ANY combination. Rathar than building a massive preset library with EVERY combination.I'm pretty sure the answer is no but what if
>>121559963Certified boomer classic
Where was Ritchie Blackmore Strat made?I get conflicting info, either Mexico or Japan
>>121567231
>>121567245
>>121567231just get the yngwis strat pinhead
>>121566986Now do Back door Man (because you're gay)
>>121557662Well, the SG wasn't made for Goobers. That's why Joe Bonemassa (the Goober archetype) has never been able to play one. Where real men like Eric Clapton and Toni Iomi have no problems at all...
>>121563942no idea desu
>>121567313Back door man is actually not about gay sex. I think it's about a rough man who goes around and bangs married woman when the man's at work. And then feasts on massive portions of chicken to fuel back up. Wolf knew a thing or two about eating bi/gg/, that I can tell you.
>>121564117Might as well get something else unless you just find teles more comfortable
>>121567397Yeah you got a good point.
>>121565888NTA but there is nothing, and I mean literally nothing, like opening the case for the first time of a brand new guitar that only you will touch or play. Anons talk about how when you modify a guitar it becomes yours forever, but these Anons have never deflowered a virgin, USA built axe, or MIJ pro-line Gretsches
ya im thinkin my rig>ur rig
>>121567639The only people playing virgin guitars are QC at the factory.
>>121567675No glass slide in the picture? Huh...
how to get this sound?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNAsQvBc7mM
>>121567679this. Cleetus, Tyrone and Suparman have already finger fucked your guitar before you got to smell it. Unless it's coming in pieces from a warmoth catalog, it's already used goods.
>>121567701It's right there in the video man. Tele into a Roland Jazz Chorus.
>>121567692slide?
>>121567675>Christmas tree still up in april>smoking indoors dare I say, based?
>>121567675Think so?
>>121567679>>121567725Imagine thinking factory drones count. They are plucking strings and looking at a tuner, Anons. 3/4 of them can't even play.
>>121567793lmao what a pile of shit
>>121567793'fraid so>>121567755i took the tree down yesterday kek
>>121567726yeh, trying to replicate in MainStage
>>121554523You mean dyke
>>121567675this dooms
>USA Strat tuned down a half step to Eb>Mexican Strat in open A>Revstar in standard>blackface Princeton Reverb>no pedals anymore, just plugged right in and getting the tones I want by tweaking the knobsIt feels good stripping it down to this after selling off all my pedals and other guitars I never played a few years ago and slowly picking up two guitars. I want an absolute bare bones pedalboard just to cover some bases but honestly going back to basics has been refreshing. I don’t miss all the bullshit pedal doodads at all. I’ll pick up a handful of basic bitch Boss pedals or something eventually to fill in sounds I decide I miss.
>>121567858>>121567675Does your Marshall have any 'rattles'? Internal vibrations when you're playing loud?
Dad said I could have his old amp. WHat's the best way to scrub off the grime and polish it up? Will acetone work? I want to make the tweed yellow again.
>>121567973Cat pee and a scotch brite pad
>>121567952Not as far as i can tell but then again it gets so fucking loud i probably wouldnt be able to hear it even it did does urs?
>>121567973idk but acetone is really harsh. i wouldn't try it if i were you. acetone melts plastic
>>121567973just dontif you must send it to mojotone theyll retolex it for like 300 bucks
>>121568042Yes. Probably a tube cage, but I haven't chased it down yet.
>>121567231there was a mim version and jap version
>>121568117id try going through it and tightening all the bolts, that may helpive heard of combos rattling themselves apart over time
I'm thinking I'll pick one of these up tonight(Boss Katana mkII). Does anyone have one? Any suggestions for <$250 that would be better?
I just realised i could make a clone of this as i have a 70s strat and a olympic white 60s strat
>>121568374the only thing comparable is the positive grid sparkive had both the spark mini and a katana artist and while the katana is cool id say the spark is more useful overall, especially considering you can use the spark app to edit presets on your phone
>>121568374My dad has one and it’s one hell of an amp for the money. If I were buying an amp on a budget that’s the one I’d get after spending a decent amount of time playing through his.
>>121555495same, nice and easy
>>121568374check FB marketplace, the 50W mk IIs go for $150, and the 100Ws go for 250. save a hundred or get 50 more watts for the same price.
>>121567941you still have too much shit. for me it's >1 guitar >wah>dirt>delay>ampthe simpler the better
any alternatives to mim telecasters?
Wow great fucking mod shop...! So many options!
>>121568910mij telecasters
>>121568910the good teles are mia
>>121568910I'm a keep it a buck with you. The 50s classic Vibe Squier telecasters are about as good as a tele can get, a great guitar at any price. I even like the pickups they come with, no need to change anything.
>>121568944when i was designing the jcaster i spoke to fender about the pickups because i wanted all white bobbins and they said that part availability for the mod shop is basically whatever is left over in their inventory and if i wanted that id have to wait, so id guess all the other jm pickups are spoken for
>>121569049>>121568985tried em at the store, mexican felt meh and americans overpriced compared to non fender brands. i liked a revstar but i dont want more fucking humbuckers
>>121569108i tried those too, didnt dig them at all. felt bad compared to mim, looked like crap too.
>>121568399nice
>>121569135mia = missing in action
>>121569290ironicaly enough those had the highest action
>>121567013i have plenty to show for it, i guess i just choose not to.
They warn me on a lot of chords in my progressions
>>121569458>i could get tons pussy but i just rather jack off to pornsure sure. have you at least recorded anything?
>>121569537conservatively, i have probably recorded 2,500 musical ideas in the last ~20 years.
>and not a single good one
Are real tortoiseshell picks worth it?
>>121569612i estimate that 85% of them are worth pulling something out of. a third, at minimum, are very good to brilliant and absolutely mog anything you've ever written
>>121569666lollmao
Does anyone have a good book for improving technique specifically for metal style of music i.e. galloping, melodic death metal etc. I've been using Petrucci's Rock Discipline to get my technique up to speed but it doesn't really cover that sort of stuff as much.
>>121568944KEK
>>121569717just watch the old paul gilbert tapes
>>121569717
How the FUCK do you play a C Major triad up at the 20th fret??? What fingers do you use?
>>121569591>musical ideas
>>121569591>conservatively, i have probably recorded 2,500 musical ideas in the last ~20 years
I've had a paul gilbert guitar riff stuck in my head but i can't find it on any of his albums, it's very funky.anyone recognize it?
>>121569626NoLiving turtles > 0-3-5 chugging
>>121569530That's probably because you're not actually voice leading anything, you're just mashing your fingers down on whatever "sounds cool."
I have had several Gibsons over the years and most of them are now tucked away because i prefer my Epi Custom from 2016. Fender on the other hand delivers even on customs shop level. The only Gibson worthy to won is a Flying V and a one Humbucker Junior.FUCK GIBSON
>>121570365Not music.
Watch this
recorded a killer solo with the looper on the toanmaster and then immediately deleted it like a retard the looper is annoying, that needs to be updated
>>121570735The Chinese can hack into your looper to steal your riffs. At the very least unplug the instrument cables so they can't use them as radio antenna to send the RAM storage to the wifi router.
>been playing nothing but Cars and Boston songs for the last couple monthsOh yeah sssssiiiiiiiiiiiiipppp>>121569135Get a p90 Revstar
>>121570821what>>121570856based
>whatYeah guy?
what's the best passive aggressive pickup?
>>121570931Single mother coil
>>121570931Tell a woman she looks fat when she cries.
>>121570944lol
I want to learn how to play guitar or bass, thinking about getting a Yamaha 112 or a trbx 174. Also is a katana mini fine for learning I'm my garage? Never played before
>>121570931>>121570944laffy taffy jokes on point
>>121571048Yes the Yamaha Pacifica is an outstanding budget beginner guitar that will last you well into your intermediate years should you keep playing and the Katana is a great budget amp. >>121571050My entire personality is based on lame laffy taffy wrapper tier jokes and when they flop it hurts but when they land it makes me feel good
>>121571048Just keep in mind that a portable amp will sound shitty compared to something bigger, even at casual levels. Unless the portability is important to you then get something that needs plugging in.
>>121571137Would a Roland cube x30 be better then? Found a used 112vmx and that for 350. With a bags too
>>121570432https://voca.ro/173OWulfNxveIt's in this, I end on it to emphasize
>>121571307Yeah. The modelling on the roland doesn't sound that great (basing this on youtube demos) but you've got more power and a bigger speaker, so you can just make up for that with pedals later down the line.
>>121571307All that for $350 is a good deal. The guitars alone are around that much new and Yamaha guitars are very good, I’d take a budget Pacifica over anything else in its price range any day.
NEW THREAD>>121571505>>121571505>>121571505>>121571505
lmao nah
>>121571428Read the add incorrectly, he's selling the amp separately for 150. Also are the 112j and 112v noticibly different? Or should I go for the cheaper and save for the amp
>>121571700The V has better pickups but for a beginner you’re not going to notice that. I’d get the J for less money and put the rest toward the amp. The V isn’t that much more but still, if you decide you like playing guitar even the J will last you a while and if you ever need to upgrade you can just buy a new guitar and sell the J to some other beginner to keep the cycle going.
