Make Mustangs Great Again
That's a Fender Telecaster in the OP if anyone was wondering.
>>127855205Thanks bro. You know anything more about it?
>>127855247yea i saw him sucking cock for meth last time i was in nashville
>>127855130It won't make a difference. Quit asking.
>>127855339How are you gonna stop him from asking guitar questions in the guitar general? You gonna downvote him?
Question: if it's not a tube amplifier can it really be called a 'combo'?The word combo refers to the tube amplifier and the speaker in the same cabinet. Solidstate and digital is just a bunch of electronic shit stuffed into the box with the speaker. Thus, not a combo.Not a question btw, but a statement.
just dont go through more than like 30ft of cable totalits that simpleideally dont go through like 40 pedals either. thats actually usually the bigger issue ime
>>127855395its still a combo of the speaker and the headits just a solidstate headcheckmate atheists
>>127855395if it's got a pre amp + power amp and speaker cab in one, it's a combo amp midwit. solid state heads exist.
>>127855392Continue to shame him for being low effort
>>127855130If you have a pedal w a buffer u will be fine
>>127855107More like Cumstangs.
>>127855488>pre amp + power amp and speaker cab in oneThat's a trio.
>>127855603Lmao
>>127855395tubes are just an older type of "electronic shit".
>>127855395Take your effects loop, and walk that dumbass question back where it came from bucko.
I have a 4-string bass and I want a fifth string, but not on the bottom. I want it higher. Also, who the fuck decided that naming the highest string "the 1st string" and the lowest string "the 4th string" is a good idea? That's retarded.
>mercury magnetics>4x the price of competitors>6-8 week wait time>oi vey 60-80 week wait time and no refunds!I will reverse my hatred when there are working parts on my doorstep.
>>127855837What are you building?
So is a 6ft cable from the amp to pedals, then a 10ft from pedals to guitar too much? Or should I trade out that 6ft for a 3ft?
>>127856084yes if that makes you happy
it depends
I was supposed to go to a concert tonight but now I'm sick. I hate my life
>>127855619Good night sweetheart
>>127856355sickness isnt real that's just a copout
>>127856084how much do you like to walk around?
>>127854121he and his wife are having a baby so we're stuck with forced memes, shitty questions, and no one to take it out on for a while
>>127856602I like to sit.
>>127857024then 10ft is plenty
>>127856903essential dadrock for rearing new crotch goblins?
>>127855247It's an American Professional II
>>127857224that one Kansas song, all them witches, and a bunch of dbeat hardcore
>>127857074yeah, but like what about the shorter cable that connects the amp to the pedals?
yeah offset troon was right. what a shit show.
>>127857455Also 10ft.
Last song you learned?Mine is Have a Drink on Me by AC/DC
I like guitar. I only own a strat copy but I like it.
>>127857662I Love The Mountains to play for my daughter because she likes to sing along
>>127857678A Strats all you need so upgrade soon
>>127855395imagine being so confidently wrong and pretentious at the same time
>>127857896banner material
>>127857725idk, I like it. I'd compare it to those fender "squier series" from the late 90s. not quite a fender but a bit better than squier.
What brand guitar cables do you use? I'm thinking about fenders because they're cheaper than earnie ball.
>>127857940only mogami golds
>>127857940Amazon Basics
>>127857940PIG HOGwhich I bought because they had a funny name
>>127857940idk whatever retarded shit is on sale. doesn't matter.
>>127857940i got one of those coiled fender cables a few years ago and hate it. now i use monoprice or amazon basics, whichever is cheaper when i need new cables
>>127857940I need the most durable ones. They keep breaking at the base of the plug.
>>127858023stop chewing on them
>>127857940never buy ernie memes theyre the lowest value for money
>>127857940The ones from Guitar Center with a lifetime warranty
>>127857317Is it yours? How do you like it, if so.I have the MIJ equivalent, the Hybrid II.
>>127858154>>127857959Are pig hog ones good?
>>127858304nta, but I have an 80's mij Squire strat
>>127858394they're good enough
>buying MIJ squiers when you could buy an MIJ fender
>>127857940I've been using Fender lately because of the bullet ends. I don't know if they really work. I think they're just made by D'Addario though...which I'll usually use too. If you buy the non bullet ones, they have color coded ball ends like D'Addario.
>>127856084Have you ever been to a show and seen the guitarist stuck at the back next to the amps because their pedalboard only has a 3ft cable?
>>127857940I tried making my own/repairing some to save money but they all have some sort of buzz or hum no matter how clean I solder them
>>127858543more like 3 ft of cockkingg's rigg
>>127858519Shit. I'm half asleep. Somehow read guitar strings.Mogami and some Fender beaters (which are actually pretty durable and have a thick rubber covering).
>>127858557Is it shielded?
The only right choice of strings. I will never use any other strings from now on.
>>127858673Also what I use
>>127858673I have bad luck with round wounds. They get uncoiled on me sometimes and go limp.
flatwounds are for soft, transexual fingies
>>127858704they have far more tension than rounds per equivalent gauge. they're for man hands
>>127858708>he can't handle the rough texturefeminine
>>127858708>More tension than equivalent rounds>(on the three lowest tension strings)You are not beating the allegations!
>be flatpicking, strict downstrokes on strong beats, upstrokes on weak beats. boom chuck rhythm >look into clarence white, celebrated flat picker known for his great rhythm playing>that sounds good let me figure out what he's doing>he was hybrid picking all along
>>127858716calluses aren't caused by abrasion they're caused by displacing the skin >>127858725a and g strings have highest tension
>>127858636Of course
>>127858304Nope, I'm just obsessed with Fenders. I have a Player I tele, it's amazing.
I've decided I want a coiled cable like Jimi Hendrix. How long should it be? 20ft?
>>127858845give it a rest
>>127858852no, I need to order it before I change my mind
Just got back from shooting guns and riding motorcycles up inna woods. Time to wrap this headstock job up, I miss my JM. Just needs a final wet sanding, polish and cure time before I put the hardware back on.
>>127858870good luck bro keep ua posted
>>127858904THE heritage. should it have just been heritage?
>>127858845Coiled cables have a lot of signal loss after 15-18 feet. It worked somewhat in Jimi's favor and tamed a bright Strat. It isn't a good idea everywhere.
>>127858948Also, the fact that they're coiled means you won't be happy with one that short. It has to be 18 feet stretched out and uncoiled. But a coiled 18 foot will be more 25-30.
>>127858955man.. that's rough. They look so cool
>>127858999Wouldn't hurt to have one around though. Just don't get something too expensive.
>>127858845bro please shut the fuck up take that 20ft or whatever cable plug one end into your shit hole and wrap the rest around your neck to choke to death
I have a hard time believing any functional adult is THIS indecisive. I bought the first cable I saw on fenders site and called it a day.
i got one of those vintage spec jimi hendrix signature (lol) fender cables its advertised as 20 feet but in reality is like 10, i guess its 20 of it wasnt ass curlycue
>cables cables cables cables cables cables cables cables cableszzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Jimi would've played an HSS if he lived to see the day they came out.
>>127859274...dang dude
he wouldve played something gay and stupid because he was a gay and stupid demoncrap
>>127859274more like an ASS zesty ass nigga
>always wanted a high spec yamaha pacifica >now that they make them i have 0 interest in it lol
I don't know why I'm drawn to guitars that only have 2 pickups
Why is everything shutting on Katanas all of a sudden? I love mine and I remember everyone creaming over them literally 2 years ago
>>127859334Shitting*
>>127859274I doubt it. He played humbucker guitars occassionally, but not as mains. Even though the coiled cable cuts the high end, it's not going to be a humbucker. I think he was into something there specifically.
>>127859334the pootoobers dont get paid to shill the same amp every video, things constantly have to be better than the last thing regardless of whether thats true or not
>>127859301I finally watched Bocchi the Rock. They treated the Pacifica like it was some Custom Shop guitar.
you will be buying the new 4000 dollar, EXCLUSIVE riffs, beards and gear siggy right anon?
>>127859367>this one looks cool>it's one of the least cool looking guitars of all time
>>127859334no amp models was always a dumb choice. theyre very good amps though and miles better than whatever chinaware is being pushed righr now.
>>127859371ah yes, the Sweetwater Exclusive Ernie Ball Music Man Limited Edition Signature Fluff StingRay Iron Swan Electric Guitar, or SEEBMMLESFSRISEG for shortjust rolls right off the tongue lmao
>>127859375It's not that bad looking. Yamaha basses are kind of ugly though.
>>127859367>this one was custom made
>>127859371hell no
>>127859367The japanese pacificas are unironically better than your average custom shop strat.
>>127859391You made me audibly laugh. Thanks friend.It’s an ugly guitar to me.
i knew g&l were down bad but i didnt know they were “mine the 80s catalogs for any semblance of nostalgia bait” down bad
>>127859411Nta, but I think the Yamaha’s look pretty good desu
>suhr is the first company to begin using and advertising stainless steel frets across all of their models >the john suhr signature guitar has nickle frets

i wonder what made lee anderton think that victory amps have the cache to sell a 6000 dollar amp
>>127859732Victory = winningSell amp win big
>>127859732i would never pay 6k for any amp but i like the way victories sound. its nice that they aren't just another black or silver face or tweed clone. sure its more a marshall clone but they sound a lot better and more unique imo
>>127855205For me it's Yamaha THR
What was the first song you were able to play from start to finish with a band? I don't have a band, but I have the Rocksmith 2014 Remastered.

I don't feel cool when I play guitar. For free dophamine I can play videogames or watch a movie. The idea of playing guitar seemed so boring when I was a kid and it looks like it hasn't changed. My music taste has evolved, I like guitar music, but playing it by myself alone, with some backing track, feels retarded and dumb.Why do you play guitar, anon? Why would anyone play guitar?
>>127860364i do it for me because i hear music in my head. playing with like minded people is fun
>>127860364I do it because I have feelings to express and things I can't say with words. It takes being a little crazy. I also do it not for me but for others, because music is a revolutionary weapon that is probably the only tool readily available to individuals to tear down the capitalist system.
>>127860727bro are you ok?
>>127860727Anon, there are AI tools to make music, no need to pick strings anymore like some caveman.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oZ4aKydbIY
>>127860738Never felt better, what makes you doubt?>>127860752Terrible post, fren. It stopped being funny months ago.
>>127860788Don't talk to me anon, express yourself thru the music, play your guitar for me.
>>127860811My bro's sleeping in the next room and the walls are paper thin but I'll come back with a vocaroo during the day.Don't you agree with me though? Why do you play fren?
>>127860788i just wanted you to say "im pretty fucking far from ok". it makes me laugh
>semi-hollow is louder and more resonant than a hollow-body
>>127860811Hol' up maybe I can find an old vocaroo where I was testing shit just to show a "proof of concept".>>127860833lol no not happening, I've been medicated and seeing a shrink for a long while, after all the real shit that I've been though, I'm more than okay I'm beaming with joy bro. Yeah I get it, it would have been ironic.No but seriously. I was severely depressed one time and stopped playing the guitar for months and months. I only picked up the guitar again when I got out of it, I think actually you play the guitar not to make you feel better but because you're okay and it's an outlet for that goodness inside. It's an idea that's backed up by many instances (records) going to shit when the artists themselves went to shit. I don't subscribe to the "troubled artist" theory.
>>127860821Because I thought it's cool and will help me to get girls. It turned out it's only cool if you also have a whole band with you or can sing.A simple DSLR camera will get you more girls and if you're pretty and like sport you'll have a lot of pussy.
what bass amp should i get i've literally just been using my guitar modeling amp
Why does the SG look so gay?
>>127860957>so gayWhat do you think SG stands for?
>>127860950what kind of bass do you have and what do you play? if you have a modern bass and want to slap i would get a hartke. if you're looking for slightly overdriven motown, blues, or funk i would get an ampeg rb. i don't like how shitty the breakup sounds on the fender rumble they're also kind of muddy. if you want to get a stomp box and go modeler get a dark glass anagram
I mentioned epiphone firebird once and now They won't stop with the nudge theory
>>127860950Just get a solid state. No need to splurge on tube for bass, especially for being new to bass amps. I'd suggest a Fender Rumble, but there are other good ones.
>>127860727Name one instance where music tore down the capitalist system.

What's the best free amp sim/effects for recording? What do you guys use?
>>127861680Neural Amp Modeler is free but literally just buy a amp pedal
is black sabbath relatively easy to play because of you know who's unfortunate you know what to the tips of his fingers?Not saying more complex = better, just that it's easier for a beginner
>>127861687I've been thinking of that, actually. Any recommendations? I've been looking into it lately but the whole thing is still an area I'm largely clueless about. Whether to go full sim or not, what's the best setup. I got a few pedals already so getting those implemented somehow would be nice too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNFjEVKiFVYThoughts on this app? This app now works on Android and has guitar tabs.
>>127861703Not because of his accident. He's got some pretty fast solos recorded and can play really well in spite of everything. But Sabbath is quite easy compared to some other metal bands. Could probably get some good ear training with them also.
>>127861786Honestly I have no idea why it's not in the OP. The app is great.

>>127862954you’re free to go back
>>127862954did you find /mu/ thru reddit or something?real question.
What's the logic behind the different pickups configurations out there? My guitar has three pickups, two single coils and one hambucker. Why? Why not three single coils or why not three hambuckers? My other guitar has only two pickups and its hambuckers. What changes? I never realized how guitars have different pickups configurations. I knows it's a silly thing, but why is that? I know pickups are very important when the matter is electric guitars and I also know that changing the pickup position changes the tone. I don't understand the logic behind then when the subject is art. I know that in heavy metal they like to use hambuckers because they use a lot of gain, but in other styles you will have so much options to chose. I have 5 pickup positions to select and I don't know what each position is used for. Can someone explain to me what situations players use those five positions for? I like the neck position. I like that position, but there are other four that I'm not using so much. I must understand what those other positions are for if I want to be a good guitar players or even a decent guitar player.
watch a youtube video or something man nobody got time for shite
>>127862986Three reason HSS Strats exist is because tons of players modded humburgers into their strats for ~30 years before Fender made it official. Typically the bridge pickup is used for your overdriven tones but there's some great neck tones too. The middle pickup is a bit of a meme and so are the in betweens, you don’t need them but they can be nice to have.
>>127840734>>127841585Well nigga, you gonna upload it?
>>127862867the bassist with black toenails was the best part of that show
>>127863057I'm convinced now that the middle pickup almost purely exists for positions 2 & 4 quacky tones. next to no one uses it alone for a "not quite bridge, not quite neck" tone
>>127863131Definitely, position 2 is a lifesaver when you need a solid hum canceling tone.
Nowadays I think I would rather have 2 noiseless in there, but still a truly do it all combo
>>127861680I used Amplitube for a bit and actually considered buying it. Thank god I found NAM first. Don't get an amp pedal, that would be like buying a special pissing extension for your toilet. Just download NAM, go to Tone3000, search the amp you want to sound like and try out different ones. All free, incredibly easy, and some of the models are truly amazing. I found the exact amp I have (1973 Super Reverb) recorded through the mic I record it with (SM57) and it would be virtually indistinguishable if it weren't for mic placement and EQ knob differences. That being said, if you have an amp and a closet, just buy an SM57 and record your amp. Recording guitars is extremely straightforward. It's not like vocals where there's this huge range of sound quality depending on a hundred different variables.
>>127862986It's just different sounds man. If you want to be a good or decent guitar player, try playing better. Then, when you're recording or playing with a band, you can literally just flip a switch and see how you like different positions. That's it. You'll likely draw the exact same conclusions as everyone else, including the designers. Every different configuration offers a different set of options, of which one can choose for any and all reasons relevant to their own tastes and goals.
>>127863276the question is:did leo do this intentionally, or was it a happy accident?
>>127861615Sounds like the perfect black metal amp.
>>127863577Happy accident. Original Strat had 3 ways and you had to get the switch juuuust so to use the in betweens.
>>127863657>you had to get the switch juuuust sopeople wedged matchsticks in there to keep it in place
>>127863501I did download NAM ages ago but never really played around with it much. I mostly used cracked amped vsts but don't wanna use those for recording.I'll be looking more into NAM though, back then it was really confusing my simpleton ass. I generally suck at dialing a good tone, EQ stuff is completely above my head so I really need to learn that stuff.I do have an amp but it's a laney practice amp and I doubt that one would be worth recording. Also got an old vox tube which needs to be fixed but once it is, I imagine using that would be much better.
>>127863676>forgot my tonesticks at home what do
>>127863684Dialing tones is more about understanding your sound. It's about how you want to be heard. Competition with other instruments. How the eq effects your signal chain. Go crazy with the eq then roll it back to what makes sense.
>>127863373Do they not know where to drill for a humbucker?
>>127863710I mean we're talking 1954 to 1977. 40% of the US adult population smoked. boxes of matches were literally everywhere and most musicians probably had one in their pocket as they were typically heavy smokers.
>>127863684I can recommend stuff to use, I can't elucidate the entire process of creating music to you and neither can anyone else.
>>127863720I have some ideas about what kind of sounds I'd wanna go for but after years of playing with most basic tones that barely sound decent I really have no clue how to dial in anything good lol. I'm really used to bad, all my guitars were never properly set-up or intonated for example and I just got used to it. Same with tone, I just used what sounded the least bad.
>>127855021Is that a good amp in the OP

>>127863884Tropical fuck storm. I really wanted to see them again. Their new album is amazing. I wanted to ask their bass player a billion questions.
>>127863900Take it all off, how else would you wipe and clean the neckSee pic rel, make sure to do it across the entire length of the string
>>127863845Getting good isn't about your feelings, sweetie. Be the machine.
>>127863943Machines aint got no soul. And you need soul for that rock n roll.
>>127855021Why did the Telecaster have 2 completely different pickups? What was the designer thinking?
>>127863924thanks anon
>>127864450who knows or cares, all I know is that it's all you need sometimes
>>127864427It's harder to practice the soul out of the musician than it is to sprinkle soul back on when you're skilled.
>>127863900If you just change the strings and tune them, they will go out of tune because the tension will cause them to stretch. This will happen multiple times.What you can do is change the strings, tune them roughly, pull on the strings, tune them roughly, pull on the strings etc. until they start staying in tune.
>>127863900Obviously all at once as you can't clean your guitar properly with strings on.

>>127865189Mustang. Small body and short scale. Jaguars have a short scale too but electronics are too complicated for women.
>>127865216Woah I've seen plenty of women playing Jags.

>>127865279
>>127865418Unironically the Player II would be improved if it had Strat pickups like this one does.
>>127865538Player II is the most retarded line ever in general after relic trash.
pig hog or earnie ball?
>>127865569Maybe the line is, but this one has a better bridge than the Player 1.
>>127865418>>127865538is superior
>>127865600the only thing you should be buying from ernie ball is stingray basses
>>127855247It's a 6-string electric. Master volume, master tone. That one's got a maple fretboard, but not all of them come that way.
>>127865670Tele headstocks are too small and wimpy
Should I go buy a 5 string bass? They're on sale and I kinda want one.
>>127865189post tits first
>>127865418I'm caught between getting a classic vibe or an affinity because the sloped blade switch of the latter can have 6-way switch in it for out of phase options
>>127865827>i want to be a big strong musclemanyou're projecting your insecurities onto a guitar.
>>127865838sounds like you answered your own question
>>127865838What are you going to do with the extra notes?
If you had a vox ac30 from the 60s, would you fix it up and use it or sell it and get something new?
>>127865881you shouldn't sell something when it's broken
>>127865827This. The only bad design choice Leo ever made. >>127865854>6-way switch in it for out of phase optionsAs you would ever need that. I have a VM Jaguar and rarely use the gimmicky stuff it provides.
>>127865889I wouldn't lie about its state. And it's not broken broken, just wasn't used for years so it needs cleaning and maintenance and whatnot.
>>127865866 Yeah i think I did but I just wanted to ask. >>127865873No idea. There are some deftones songs that use 5 string basses. I also dont really need one, I just want it.
>>127865910i meant because you'll get lowball offers and overall less money than you would fixing it first. but personally unless you really like vox amps i would use the money for something else. its possible for something to be objectively good and still not like or enjoy it on a personal level
>120 bass looks good>already have a white bass and dont want another white bass>cheapest one after that is 280GOD DAMNNNITTTT my autism is really going to make me spend 280 just so it's not redundant.
>>127865928I mean if I could get a couple thousand, that would be worth it for it but I get what you mean. I've never really got to play around with it cause of its state but I doubt I wouldn't like it. I don't really wanna sell it cause I think it would be a great amp but at the same time, I'm worried it would be a money pit. Finding someone who could restore it is difficult on its own and who even knows if the guy we find would do a good job. Selling it and getting something else definitely seems like a more sensible decision but I'm blinded by sentimentality.
>>127865989If the 280 is a mexi, sure. If it's a shitter, why
>>127865854>affinity>epiphone specialavoid
Test
>>127866179I'm on edge about this. I think imma do it
>>127866201The only epiphones that are worth buying are the inspired by Gibson. Otherwise you get shit electronics. Anything sub 1000 new is going to be shit. My advice is to pick up a used Mexican fender, prs se or Ltd ec-1000 if that’s your price range. I get the squier classic vibe stuff isn’t great. Just buy something used cheaper that is built well and swap the pickups if you need to.>>127866240It’s not going to sound good. At the very least pick up a classic vibe fender jazz bass. Ibanez has the worst pickups.
>>127866267Nothing wrong w ibanez bass pickups
>>127866267I meant to say even the classic vibe stuff isn’t great. They just don’t feel as good as a Mexican or American fender. The classic vibe jazz bass I had was actually ok though for the price I paid (300 used.) it was a little heavy, but it still felt and played and sounded like an actual fender.>>127866286There’s a lot wrong with them, they don’t have any personality or character. I guess it’s okay if you’re only playing metal. Even the higher end Ibanez and Yamaha basses sound meh.
Wrong
>>127866267I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. Im just gonna get the rogue 5 string. I'm not looking to break the bank and it's mostly just for song practice anyway. If I dont like the sound vs my 4 string I'll probably return it in a week.
I'm not jelly.I play a Tele.Ha ha./thread
>>127866382I mean go play one and see if you like it but they just sound really bright and bleh to me. I will say the Ibanez is probably higher quality than that other thing you posted but idk.
>>127866301The bartolini pickups in the 500 series and the nordstrands in the 750 series are both good pickups. You don't know what you are talking about.
>>127866444Good if you like bland generic bass tones sure
>>127863924Good way to wear out your frets
>>127866240You don't need to plank up. Get a main, a backup, and a band.
>>127865670You didn’t even post the good one with the right pickups… even then, no, the Jaguar was designed to be and still is Fender’s nicest and most premium model.
>>127866267Epiphones won't be sub 1000 for much longer. Enjoy it.
>>127866531>bland>generic>no character>no personalityExplain to everyone why you think this without using generic words you read from someone else (you can't).

Like they’re fine if you’re in a worship band and don’t care about toan but they really don’t sound good. And no I’m not gonna go find examples of the specific pickups you mentioned because they’re not much better.
>>127866549>scrambling on google to find help articulating why they are bland, generic and without personality/characterKWAB
>>127866668Lmao retard did exactly what I said he would do.
>>127866668apparently you have to buy a custom shop mij ibanez for it not to be dogshit
>>127866668>>127866700Samefagging fools no one.
>>127866668https://youtube.com/shorts/rGbhbHAnPyc?si=MvG7aqJqgOhyauqtEven the prestige models sound terrible >>127866671Bro I’m not going off of google I’m going off of what I’ve heard in real life from countless worship bands and cover bands. They do not sound good to me and I’ve heard them in dozens of different venues. I really don’t know how I can explain what generic and bland means. Like there’s nothing about them that says “oh that’s an Ibanez” or “man I wish I could get that toan.” I don’t know if it’s because they’re too flat eq’d or it’s the wiring but it’s the same thing with their guitars. I’ve never been wowed by the sound of an Ibanez (except the older Gibson copies were pretty good)
>>127866696That’s the ultimate cope. Find an example of one where it sounds phenomenal. You can listen to a Les Paul or jazz bass in a thousand different shorts and it’ll always sound good.
>>127866711says the fool
>>127866711Anyways apparently the Ibanez internet defense force is doing damage control again today. I’m not opposed to other types of basses. I think fender, Gibson, Warwick, music man, rickenbacker, g&l, schecter sound great. I’m sure there’s other great sounding basses out there. For me, Ibanez and Yamaha don’t sound as good. And you’re not going to shill me into thinking they do just because they’re well built and budget friendly. I already said they’re well built and a good value, but I don’t think they sound good. I’m sorry that hurts your fee fees.
>>127866774i appreciate you trying to be polite but ibanez instruments are not well built. i've had the top of the line export models simply because they don't export mij unless made to order and was not impressed
>>1278668000% of guitar players say this.
>>127866848i don't know what you base your experience on but mine is based on owning several and doing repairs for 3 years in a box store. the the sound gears were without a doubt the worst instruments in the store and the rg series is not a good value for the price
>>127866556Jags look so weird to me without binding and block inlays
>>127866612Actually, they would look equally cool strung upside down..
>>127866902I’ve had them, not a fan of binding, it increases friction. Blocks would look weird without binding. I’m not into offsets for the looks, it’s 90% about how they feel, play and sound. Mustangs for the feel/Playability, Jags and JMs for the sounds that you will not get on any other fender models.
>>127866800You’re right I was trying to be polite. I played in a band that used 7 strings and had to play a gio since I only owned a 6 string and I fucking hated that guitar. I also at the time traded my bc rich v for an Ibanez rg550 because I thought the bc rich looked too wild, and that was a huge mistake. That guitar also sucked. I do like other Japanese brands like Yamaha and esp though. I just don’t like Yamaha basses, but apparently they have a new p bass clone that might be interesting. But yeah I’ve pretty much played everything out there guitar and bass wise and owned everything and I have some strong opinions people may not like.
>>127866975yeah i can see that. i do also like yamaha and i thought the bb3000 bass was very cool. i'm not trying to be mean or deride anyone for playing cheaper instruments but don't lie about their quality. some poor soul is going to see some bullshit on the internet and buy a shitplank that may not even play with a professional setup and quit learning guitar
>>127866878Rediculous.
What's the best pick for pinch-choked notes?
How do I get the 50s R&B tone?
>>127867011Well I don’t think I was lying about their quality as I’m not someone who plays sub 1000 dollar instruments. So for me it was more like they feel ok for being a shitplank. I was holding back my feelings about Ibanez just because there’s so many Ibanez internet defense force dudes that will argue with you, but I really haven’t played one I’ve liked and I’ve played a few Jem’s. My first guitar teacher had a hot pink jem, and a guy I worked with had a metallic white jem. At the time I was playing a carvin and I wouldn’t have traded for either of them. Also never really liked vai. But either way I’ve played a lot of Ibanez guitars both in bands and at guitar stores and not once did any of them strike me as anything I’d want to own. To me they don’t sound good or feel good or look good and I have no interest in them. I’ll play the shit out of a revstar though and have actually owned two of them, I love those guitars. >>127867088Doesn’t really matter. You can play them with any pick. Although might be a bit easier if it’s over .60mm
>>127866902'ate block inlays so much ngl.
I got the ibanez cause it's the only one they had that wasn't priced too high.
>>127867088Btw the only reason I say .60mm or thicker is easier is because thin picks bend more and leave less room for your thumb to come behind them and hit the artificial harmonic. I can still get pinch harmonics out of .50mm or thinner picks but sometimes they just drag on the string and by the time your thumb comes through they’re still making contact with the string which mutes the harmonic. There needs to be a gap in between your pick ringing the string and your thumb striking behind it for artificial harmonics to ring.

New thread OP race. GO!
>>127867096need dat riddim. but also seriously, I can only answer for bass and it's like 20% guitar and settings and the rest is technique. Watch some tone chasing videos with black dudes in it. Black musictube is so much less gay and gets to the point, most of the time.
