How to I test my pickup resistance?I think my pickups are hot, but I’d like to know exactly how hot.It’s an 80’s mij Squire e series.
posting it again https://youtu.be/wkrrJe3cGYM?si=OB6JwwNNGy_IhJILwould you say this is an accurate representation of the different fender pickups? I still haven’t decided which model to get as my first electric guitar. Judging from this, I dislike the cliche classic rock sound of the Strat and the JM sounds like a Jag on steroids. The player 2 Jaguar has a vibrato, but some of you told me it would be a bad decision for a beginner. I also fear the Jag pickups sound too ‘indie/alternative’, unlike the more neutral Tele and Mustang pickups. I think I still prefer the Mustang, which is also cheaper than the rest. Now I watched another video, where they compared p90 pickups to fender single coils and humbuckers, and I thought those p90s sounded optimal. So would it be a better decision to look for a used Player Mustang 90 for about 500-600€ instead of getting a fresh player 2?
>>127536142multimeters and thermometers in the back door give accurate results
>>127536153Literally don't think too much about it, buy whatever you like the looks of the most
>>127536142Im sorry you were born without ears.
>>127536069the modern deluxe adds herringbone. hmmm
>>127536102why even have an analog preamp at that point
>>127536172I'd imagine this is the body shape you get when you average out every Fender guitar
>>127536193Herringbone for that herringtone
>>127536121maybe .01%.
>>127536199that's right
Need to upgrade my computer desk chair and thinking of getting one with flippable arms so I can play guitar in it as well, what do you cunts use?
>>127536454i played bass out of one. good for elevation adjustment but you have to sit on the edge of the chair cause the arm spacing is narrow and it makes the chair unstable
>>127536464Yeah that sounds about right, just need something that can also tilt back a bit and the arm rests won't get in the way even when lifted up.
Don't want to do Justin Guitar but I watched every Absolutely Understand Guitar video and read the book. Obviously I don't understand everything in there but where do you guys recommend I go from here?
>>127536512Have you tried playing the guitar yet?
>>127536498idk what you're using now but even the cheap chinese gaming chairs are worth it. i had a $400 office chair when i was in the military. nothing will top that but the gaming chairs are still nice
>>127536528Just one of those cheap faux leather high back chairs, it's comfy but old and the arm rests get in the way trying to play guitar, can't take them off as they support the back part of said chair.
>>127536153If you like the look of a Mustang and the sound of P90s I think the Mustang 90 would be a great choice. P90s are great and are very versatile, but they tend to be pretty noisy. There’s an anon here who just bought a Mustang 90, wait to see when he comes around and what he says about it. I think it’d be a great first electric, simple hard tail and light and compact with versatile pickups. That’s right in the same camp as a Tele. Just keep in mind that the Mustang is a shorter scale guitar, meaning the distance from the bridge to the nut is shorter which in turn means the frets are closer together and the strings have less tension. None of that is a bad thing, just different than the standard Fender size.
>>127536194Better sound and more sound options (analog and digital, as desired) while keeping everything on a single small pedalboard.Something like the victory tube preamps.
3am you know what that means right
>>127536577Please no more penis inspections
I completely removed the mids and it sounds pretty nice
well i was gonna voca spam but i cant find my gosh dang heckin pick
https://voca.ro/1bZot4BDAcFe
Do the Slayer tone. Treble brought down mids all the way up, bass brought down.
>>127536675Curry King can suck it.Mids down, bass up, treble up.
>>127536626back at you sisterhttps://voca.ro/1dwr9jAOMPx5
>>127536683Thanks Mr Early 2000s. Were in the same club now,the forgotten spammed EQ club.
Lows and Highs at 3:00, Mids at NoonWah pedal set to half-openYou're welcome
i just put it all to 10 and play as fast as possible with no regard for tone, dynamics, or rhythm.
mids slightly down, presence slightly up, bass slightly down
>>127536751based grindcore enjoyer
If I have to touch the EQ to get a decent sound then its a bad amp
>>127536626What is this from?
Mids up on a Les Paul is too based for most music genres

>>127537869Nice, a new(ish) image. How's the princeton been?
>>127538183https://voca.ro/15VhD2oevcTM
So I vaguely know the difference between overdrive and distortion on an engineering level.But practically when do I use one vs the other?Is overdrive always just a boost in front of the distortion of my amp, while distortion pedals are always meant to be used with the clean channel of my amp?
>>127538268That's how I always understood it.Pretty sure clean boosts don't work or at least work well with solid state either. They just boost volume, but on a tube amp, it's another way to achieve overdrive crunch. While overdrive technically works with both type amps, but for solid state, the overdrive functions like another distortion.
>>127537923Thanks I got the new pickguard so I had to update. Ill try and take more pictures.Princeton has been great. Finally got it dialed in and put some Tung Sol preamps tubes in it and it sounds great especially with disto and fuzz. Still find myself playing the JC quite a bit though and bi amp sometimes for best of both. Pretty happy with the set up. Somewhere down the line i do want something like a 5150 or vtm 60.
>>127536153Strats only sound like classic rock if you want them to. Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Pavement, Nirvana, Radiohead, Ween, Stone Roses, Smashing Pumpkins... they all used strats at some point in their career. It's a very versatile instrument, you can play anything with them.
don't at meclick buy it now
>>127538320
>>127538316Strat critics limit themselves on purpose on something.I mean, I get it. You don't want to sound like Jimi. But no one said you had to.
mustang playershttps://youtube.com/shorts/dKmTEopVAqk
>>127538268Yeah overdrive is meant to push your preamp and has minimal clipping within its own circuit, distortion on the other hand has a lot of hard clipping going on and is meant to be used as a "second channel" basically. Overdrives shine in front of a toob amp or in front of other dirt pedals, specifically certain fuzzes. I particularly like using one in front of a Pharoah and I've gotten good results using one after a silicon fuzz face as well. They can also be used as a midrange boost depending on the specific OD. I only use OD's and fuzz pedals on my board but I like stacking gain stages before the amp itself, if you're a solid state guy or have a particularly sparkly clean amp and need compressed hard clipping for heavier sections, a distortion pedal will be what you're looking for.
I'm not a strat guy but I recognize their greatness
>>127538297>i do want something like a 5150Don't pay the block letter tax if you go that route. They used to be $500 all day long on the used market but are identical circuit wise to the signatures, though I'm not up to date on the newer models and I'd guess that they've probably switched some things up. Peavey used to be known for how cheaply made their pcb's were, so if you find one with "intermittent issues", pass on it. It's probably not going to go away with a tube swap or cap job. Traces with hairline breaks will drive a tech insane. They have a lot of top end sizzle as well that can be hard to tame when pushing a decent amount of gain but when they're dialed in, they're awesome. I've owned 2 of the originals ovet the years and regret selling them. Though they're really not well suited for what I do now.
i wanted to redo a metal album i recorded a couple years ago because im putting it onto cassette now but the guitar setup is completly different so im probably screwed. i can't even remember what gauge and tuning i had it in but the intonation was horrible. now the setup is actually acceptable.
>>127538316Electric guitars in general are far more versatile than guitars players give them credits for, like I said as a guy who hasn't even started playing yet watching reviews and tone comparisons is unproductive, just buy what you like
>>127538283>>127538656thanks brehs
>>127538268ya. Expect less dirt from the overdrive. They'd call it a clean boost if it wasn't supposed to distort. Experimenting with your pedals is what normally unlocks interesting sounds. I get new lead tones boosting with an eq pedal or an amp sim pedal.
If tonewood is a meme why are schizos like James hetfield tracking a dozen different guitars with emg 81/85 pickups to find the one that sounds better? When will boomers learn that wood doesn’t affect electric guitar tone AT ALL???
>>127539080why would anyone care to correct them when they can sell more guitars at premium
>>127539133But they literally have the world’s best producers and they’re sitting there trying out dozens of guitars with the same pickups in them? How can they not hear that they all sound the same?! Are they retarded??
>>127539175confirmation bias and decades of getting fed with snake oil, put them on a blind test and they fail spectacularly
>ups pushed the delivery of my guitar back a dayrrrreeeeee it’s literally 40 minutes away at the UPS warehouse. It wasn’t loaded on a truck to be out for delivery rrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeee
>>127539235it's probably getting repackaged after someone dropped it off a conveyor and getting crushed by a pallet jack operated by a broccoli head with a delta 8 pen hanging out of his mouth. i wouldn't worry about it
>when seven other people have the guitar you're gonna buy in their cartI'm guessing they're waiting for a sale?

>>127539430Cool adding one to my cart now
>>127538703Awesome thanks for the heads up. Any insight into the vtm series?
>>127539576I actually wonder which guitar on the site has the most in cart
>>127539629https://reverb.com/news/best-selling-guitars-of-2024It's kind of puzzling that squier doesn't even make top 10, turns out the average player buys pretty expensive guitars
>shit out an 80's "reissue" explorer with completely different specs than the originals>looks and plays like a cheap toy>$2500>"hey can you just give us a RD standard instead so we can actually get the guitar we are paying for?">lol no here's a custom shop for more than double thoughToday's the day I send the strongly worded email. The trapper keeper Kramer sent me over the edge. Sent from Bob's iPhone using tapatalk
>>127539664Why does it feel like a toy?
why is it that certain high gain sounds make it feel like I play in molasses?Hard to describe but like I have to be ultra precise or else I'll get a dead note and it will sound choppy. Much harder than just playing on a clean channel or amp.Meanwhile other hi gain sounds have the opposite effect and ridiculously easy to play kind of in a slippery way.Do you know what I mean? I wonder which aspect of the sound shaping causes this?
>>127539622No problem. Unfortunately I have 0 experience with the vtm's so I can't say one way or another. Don't let me scare you away from Peavey or 5150's in general though. Peavey has always punched above their weight.
When I was young, I used to think Peavey was as big as Marshall. Their amps were ubiquitous for a while there. Then they kind of disappeared.
>>127539689You might be talking about hi gain british amps which make a fuckton of high pitched harmonics that if you're not careful just screams out and deafen your ears, meanwhile something more djent like neural dsp nolly or plini are really easy to play
>>127539687I only have a sample size of the 1 that I played briefly in store, but it felt like it was from a lower tier product line (that obviously doesn't exist). Fretboard was gritty and dry, action was a mile high, fret buzz up and down the neck, frets needed to be polished, in hand it just felt like a cheap guitar. I went back and forth between it and a 70's reissue and it felt like they came from 2 different companies. It wasn't like playing a LP standard and studio back to back, it felt like one of the First Act guitars you used to see in wally world being compared to a Gibson. Yes a lot of those issues could be solved with a proper setup but it was the same price as a 70's model at $2499. Maybe it was a friday guitar (should have checked the serial now that I think about it) but even a proper setup wouldn't make it "feel" right if that makes any sense at all. It just felt like a Gibson money grab due to vintage 80's explorers being so popular on the secondhand market right now.
>>127539227Nah I’m actually making fun of you bro. You can hear the difference even in the room in their documentaries. Wood affects tone, sorry.

if guitar center has a guitar that has some scratches on the back is it okay to try to get a discount? keep in mind the guitar is already marked $200 below MSRP
>>127545365the worst they can do is say no
>>127545198This. I personally enjoy the Mustang vibrato but it’s a real pain to set up and learn it. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’ve already got experience in setting up guitars, and this being your first I wouldn’t. If you want a vibrato get a Strat, the offset vibrato is cool but again setup for a first electric guitar will be more of a pain. Strat vibratos are easy. If you want hardtail the Mustang is fine, or a Tele is great, or even a Strat if you’re willing to block the vibrato and adjust saddle height accordingly. For a first I’d honestly suggest either the hardtail Mustang or a Tele because they’re both idiot proof. I’d lean more toward Tele.

I'm thinking about picking up guitar. I am a former professional musician having played trombone at a college level. life changed and while I would still like to play trombone I am unable to play a loud ass fucking instrument in my bedroom. I have a computer field job now that has me relocating every few years.Guitar would offer me the chance to come back to music as a hobby, as well as give me opportunities to play in local groups. I've poorly played string instruments in the past but only ever to learn shitty pop songs. This time I'd be playing purely to learn an instrument, starting similarly to how I did on trombone learning to read, play scales, play etudes just really practice a lot of the fundamentals and still goof off trying to play songs currently on my apple music then pursue serious understanding for classical, jazz and melodic rock settings.After I move do I plan to continue to play guitar? probably. This instrument is so versatile it's compatible with every genre.What do you guys think? do I have the right reasoning to want to get into this?
>>127545736honestly that's the way it should be or at least have someone set up all the guitars in the store
There has to be a way to get the premium tabs from ultimate guitar
peter laughner was a cool guitaristhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-BbLtCuOwi like the version on modern dance better, but the lead here sounds awesomethis one too just has a great solohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bllc3PaOj8nothin fast, it just sounds sick, and then he goes into a cool riff at the end, instead of dickwaving straight through to the closeit sucks he kysd himself to death before recording more. you gotta record FIRST
I seriously don't understand the appeal of Jimi Hendrix
>>127545736unfortunately it takes them FOREVER to get to your guitar
>>127545778he did it "first". with the advent of internet and easily available information, and no shortage of people selling lessons it is easy to eclipse yesterdays legends in terms of technical proficiency. what's really cool is taking someone like lester flatt who grew up in bumfuck nowhere and only new 3 chords then becoming one of the best rhythm players of all time and figuring out complex chord shapes on his own
>>127545435They're quite expensive. Guitar Works was better but it too has changed locations and downsized at least locally in my city. Lots of guitar shops have closed shop over the years too. Lots of local music stores too. I can't imagine it's very lucrative anymore with all the turnover. Some smaller shops get kids for lessons and such but their guitar selection is garbage and small. So if you have a local Long and McQuade, then go for it. But you'll pay higher prices for everything. Kind of a sign of the times.
>>127545778What classic rock guys do you like? As long as you're not a zoomer shitting on everything older than 5 years, I don't care.
>>127545837I am a zoomer but Mick Ronson is my favorite
>>127545813>Jimi Hendrix>advent of internetWhat
>>127545758>do I have the right reasoning?"Wanting to" is all you need. Just pull the trigger and get excited about it.
>>127545847That's cool. Mick rocks.Like the other anon said, Jimi was a pioneer. Kind of busted down the gates of what was possible.
>>127545869there's a period there. i'm saying it's easy to think he's not that good because we have 1000x the information and equipment available to us than he did. you can only be as good as the difficulty of your challenges.
>>127545530Oppressive humidity is good for tone actually
>>127545837not big on classic rock but i like slash, srv, rhoads, and gilmour. i prefer melodic players over shredders personally, but randys classical approach was very cool at the time. i personally prefer rhythm players like rice, white, watson, tyminsky.
>>127544462loser cope
>>127545758>What do you guys think? do I have the right reasoning to want to get into this?If you want to play an instrument, that's all the reasoning you want.I started playing to make my own music, considered starting on keyboard because I do like piano and I hear it's the best instrument to write music on but guitar is just way cooler so I started there.I've only been playing since around February of this year but I still get excited with guitar but I'm afraid I'll never get to where I need to/want to in the next couple years.>>127545888Got it.>>127545901I just don't really like his music not that I think he's a poor musician. To me though the best musician is whoever gets you to pick up an instrument and start playing.
>>127545758Yeah, thats as good a reason as any
>>127545925>whoever gets you to pick up an instrumentagreed
>>127545778he had some bangershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBRO7W50PUoimo its mostly his rhythm guitar, and how it melts into leads. most hadnt figured out how to do it like that back then. or at least not that good. the other big thing was he was also just a great live musician, and put on good shows consistently. a great performer and entertainer.and while it might seem stupid to say jimi, whos famous for lead guitar, is only relevant due to his rhythm playing, its dumb enough that i believe it. without his rhythm playing, ritchie blackmore could shred WAY harder, and was contemporaneous with him.but jimi had excellent rhythm playing that went right INTO the crazy leads. its a very broad sound from just one guy
>>127545915>i prefer melodic players over shredders personallySame. I actually listen to metal a lot especially at the gym but have NEVER had the desire to learn metal songs, not sure if that's weird or not.
>acoustic fags have to worry about humiditylmfao
>>127545915You're a zoomer too and you like Tony Rice and Doc Watson? That's surprising but cool. I didn't get into acoustic dudes until way late. Wish I got into them earlier.
>>127545948All wood does. Your neck and fretboard does on an electric. Possible your body's neck pocket. It's not plastic dude.
>>127545758you have to really want to learn it, because guitar is hard and takes a long time to be good at chord changes. playing single note lead lines are pretty easy. if you think of it as a tool because it's versatile you may not be motivated enough to stick with it. not trying to discourage you from starting your journey but most people quit within the first 6 months, not even because they don't like music but moreso because they don't really like guitar specifically. also doesn't help their training regime probably discouraged having fun
>>127545969>plasticNo thanks, I don't need anymore jewish zio-microplastics in my body.
>>127545983damn you can't read at all huh lmao
>>127545954sorry i didn't know that question was for zoomers only. i'm 35
wood is snake oil
>>127545981>but most people quit within the first 6 monthsNTA but I should've done this with trumpet when I started playing in 4th grade and picked up gutiar.Instead I stuck with it until 10th grade and didn't start playing gutiar until a few years later. Hey, atl east I had fun with friends in band class.
>>127545983bot response
>>127545994Oh np, we're the same range then. But I thumbed my nose at acoustics until late. Wish I didn't. Maybe I would have developed way better ideas by now.
>>127546001martins new 2025 standard models have the same bracing now and it's sad how much the d18 and d28 sound alike now. i thought the back and sides at least mattered a little bit on an acoustic but it's really like 2%
>>127546001I don't know what that means. It's just nature. Trees and plants are pliable to the elements. They'll still do it long after their dead.
>>127546023damn, yeah. i always liked bluegrass cause im a hick but i didn't realize how talented a lot of them really are until a lot later. i'm in a bluegrass course right now and it's really fun but seeing these people change chords while incorporating walk ups, alternating bass, and cross picking at like 160bpm+ is nuts.
Let me put my arms around your headGee it's hot, let's go to bed
>>127545376The worst they could do is say no and kill him or shoot off his dick
>>127546195>shootYou don't own a gun, this is /gg/ not /arg/
I just don't like sg's at all
>>127546315They look like shit, LP looks way better.
>>127545775He did record the first two Pere Ubu singles in studio. It's his solo on Final Solution.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSD_R5FkjVMThere's a recording of his post Ubu band Friction playing a gig. He's pretty well documented for a guy who died at 24. Yeah, very inspired guitar player.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7f5q7mlFyo
>>127546321they also just feel weird to play idk what it is
>>127546315there's two things i can't stand: people that are intolerant of certain guitars and ibanez
>>127546315>>127546321Best thing about them is getting a Gibson sound at a reasonable price (still).. and it's not like the Standard is a "student" model.Just saying. I don't have an SG. They just seem like the most comparable guitar to a Strat or Tele.
>>127546387>standards are $1800 nowHoly-o-fuck, boys
>>127546430Are they? I stand corrected. I thought they were like $1500. lol
i don't like les pauls
>>127546467the junior is cool
>>127545917>still can't prove it>projects
>>127536058has anyone used the EQD easy listening? its fairly cheap and could be cool to run my board through and fuck around late at night.
>>127546467They're too small. They look funny. But that hasn't stopped other tall dudes.
>>127546545>too smallIt's funny that they also weigh the most
>>127546467Why not? They weigh too much for you? Get in the gym and it's a non-issue.
>>127546528there's no way to prove it. even if I showed you a screenshot you'd just say I edited the css.Not interested in this any longer, loser. Everyone hates you and your family wants you dead.
>>127546551i'm paying for the wood i want all of it
>>127546562too curvy and fat
Why are some strumming patterns hard for me to learn?>trying to learn moonage daydream (I..E David Bowie, the greatest artist of the 20th century)
>Doing Scotty West course>Find coursebook for free online>Decide I want a physical copy>Fail to read website, pay $19.99 for the official purchase of the digital copy I already piratedNow I have to pay $40 to get it printed
>>127546448Lol yeah I had to go check just because I never look at them to begin with. Used market is covered up with gibbys though. Looks like standards go for sub $1k occasionally
>>127546584I never actually learned any Bowie except Rebel Rebel. Don't think he made that one though. It's too good. He's more of the strummer, as you said.
>>127546567Just post it already depressedfag. You can't.
>>127546584don't learn new things as fast as you can play them
>>127546615Cue "You shopped it or edited the CSS"not sure why I let you goad me into this. bored i guess
>>127546586I threw him $20 just because, the book is an added bonus. I just really appreciate the time and effort he put into something thats been a part of my life for so long. I do need to buckle down and get through his videos though
>>127546586I hate this ghetto ebook shit. Give me a proper hardbound sewn binding cover.
>>127546647I'm on hour 12, the main reason I wanted to pay was for the slide rule I'm not getting
I hate house upkeep, bros. I've been recaulking and painting windows for 5 days. Too tired and sore to play guitar. Shit sucks
>>127546655same, i need something i can wipe my cheeto dust on
>>127546657>signal path directionwat
>>127546657So EQ in the loop before the effects? Or is that the last in chain?
>>127546643You can see the box covering the other (you) lmao
>>127546678EQ in the loop before effects so its after the gain stage but allowing the tone controls of your effects to actually do something
>>127545554New Wave final boss
>>127546694he's saying the signal path is reversed. the image doesn't make any sense
>>127546686no you cant dumbass i didnt edit shit. i didnt even bother cropping itgod i hate niggers
Whoa.In other news, I like this but I wish the pickups were reversed
Lmao
>>127546605He came up with the opening riff for rebel rebel i think>>127546619>Slow is slow, fast is fast - Lucas Botkin
>>127546755Double cuts are so niceI dont like the SG shape thoughIs that a mini humbucker in the neck?
>>127546773>He came up with the opening riff for rebel rebel i thinkCool if he did.His main style with electrics just seemed more sketchy and raw. Some of the riffs in Diamond Dogs were cool, but not as refined as Rebel. He kind of inadvertently created postpunk riffage in 73.
how many niggas from /arg/ are in here for real? the botkin reference sent me
>>127546805Or 74, my bad.
>>127546725makes perfect sense to me. following the direction of the arrows from the guitar to the amp and through the loopwhat am i missing?
>ctrl + f>voca>3 resultsAnother 300 posts of schizo babble very cool.
>>127546829go hook your shit up like your picrel and report back. make sure you follow the arrows very carefully
>>127546813/arg/ is gay, A2 is a homo even though at a meet he bought me McNuggets once
>>127546833>complains about not enough vocas and too much off topic shitposting>doesn’t post a voca and instead posts off topic shitpostinghmmmmm moment
>>127546545where's this meme coming from, they're almost exactly the same size as strats and teles, if slightly longer
>>127546851stop noticing things
>>127546813MeI can't even post this in /arg/ anymore, j*nnies ran me out
>>127546880Oh shit waddup derek
>>127546903>>127546903>>127546903
