>>127892432This looks exactly like the first guitar any kid draws.
I’ll be sleeping good tonight bros. Getting the grommets for the vintage tuners in was tricky and a near catastrophic fuck up, but I was able to use quick grip bar clamp with rubber covers as a vice punch to get them in without cracking the finish. Most importantly, it’s finally put back together and playing as good as it did before I took all the tuning hardware off. Pretty happy with how it turned out, now I just need a fiesta red Deluxe Telecaster with a matching headstock and I’ll have a full set. I’ll be up late tonight catching up on lost time with the JM.
>>127892518Do it and get a pre CBS Stang. I almost pulled the trigger on a blue 68 competition Mustang but it would have put me into debt and I just don’t have that need for a vintage Mustang. If it was a Strat or Jag I could maybe justify it, but the Mustangs I have suit my needs more than adequately.
>>127892571Wrong again, child scale is 22.2, Mustangs are 24
my butt is fartin

what do you think about sunburst finish (on a bass)?

>>127892518>$7000 for a crustanghow much did you pay for yours?
>>127892518Ben Gibbard does give turdstang energy
Nobody is buying any offset for that much. The only reasons why they caught on is Surf and that they super cheap for high quality (because Fender and lots of shops were selling them at a loss).
>>127892841It's just a coincidence that Honey is a honeyburst, okay?
>>127892841>giving your guitar a name
>>127892518You can get that same color for like ~500 lmao
>>127892884My super budget P bass. It’s a Sonic with $10 Chinese pickguard, but it looks the part well enough and like the other Sonics I’ve played or own, it’s very, very, very decent for what it costs
>>127892751Nah that’s dishonest, plus Death Cab is lame and I don’t want to give my guitar a fake connection to that homoband. I’m happy with my 1970s CBS stang and my MG65 is as close to a 1965 CBS vintage reissue as we’ve ever gotten and that’s close enough>>127892976$1460 and change >>127892988He does a bunch of gay mods to his, he disables his vibratos, deletes the pickup selector switches, deletes the tone knob, and replaces the tone knob with a rotary pickup selector switch.

What kind of bass should I be using for doom metal? I can't afford a Rick but that seems to be the choice by many doom and stoner bands. Is there something more in the US$500-$700 range that has the crunchy low end similar to a Rick?
>>127893459literally any bass will do. even a bass with strat pickups totally delivers on that.
>>127892518>pots from the 70sWhy do people like that? My guitar had 4 year old pots and they were already squeaking. What's the obsession with old guitar parts which can degrade?>>127893459It's called effects and amps.
Jazz Bass mixed to taste. Powerful.

>only the bottom has a pickup ringI know it's a nitpick but it's really putting me off
>>127893839you're not bothered by the diarrhea wood fretboard?
welp, just ordered an adirondack hd28
>>127893961based yolowoooo!
>>127893961fuck yeah

>>127893900Those lighter fretboard woods show patina as you use them and look badass over time
>>127893971>>127893986thanks it's the sweetwater select. i liked the specs particularly the long saddle and v profile neck. it's got herringbone and adirondack top and bracing. not bad really for the price
>>127894087
>>127894087Ugh no thanks. I want them to look nice for a long time.

>>127894177I'm sorry.
What kind of microphone does he have?
>>127894193Nta, but I’m sorry on his behalf, anon. I haven’t had a great day today.
>>127894124"Soulless" are those phony relic jobs, taking good care of your instrument is better. I've seen Strats almost 50 years old that look lightly worn at best.
>>127893291What about it? 70s Fenders are much less desirable than 60s and the Mustangs are the least desirable of the bunch. 70s Strats and Teles only recently began to climb in price, they used to be readily available for sub $2k only up until a few years ago>>127893527These pots are fine, the only issues I’ve ever had with old guitars and bad pots were Japanese Fenders from the 90s. These ones work fine with no noise or scratchy sounds
>replaced the pots on my guitar>take more effort to turn>kinda like it>try to adjust the volume mid-playing>impossibleYeah, I should have thought about that. No more volume swells without my expression pedal and no tone adjustments on the fly. I actually don't like it anymore.
>>127894658yeah sorry man. i agree there's a certain level of charm to cheap pots that turn very smoothly and easily
>>127894658Just takes some getting used to is all.

Finally blocked off the trem on my Benton Tele and put 11-48s on it. It's good. I love the tension on the 25.5 inch scale, feels so much better than the 10s, although I do kinda like the thickness of the latter just a bit more. It plays great. Got a few buzzy spots but nothing too crazy l, for me at least. Would have loved to play around with setting it up better but the Wilkinson trem it's got is utter dogshit and I'm not touching it until it's time to remove it for a hardtail conversion.
>>127893839I hate this design. Why be lazy with the pickup ring where Tele ashtray bridges with a humbucker sized hole exists. The pic rel looks a cheapo walmartcaster bridge you find on 100 bucks guitars.
>>127894954hell yeah based tinkerer chad
>>127895055Its like a Mrs Potato Head pretending to play an instrument.

>>127894954Why did you get a floating bridge one if you were planning on swapping it?
>>127894979Ty. Been wanting to do it for a while. Sanding the thing down to size was annoying but it worked. >>127895185I thought I'd give the trem another shot after all these years. Didn't really work out unfortunately. Maybe if I was able to get it to work properly and not go out of tune but at the end of the day it's just an inconvenience for me.
>>127893625Surprisingly good.

I always get depressed when I realize that I will never be able to play as fast and as good as the music I like.Been listening to this for a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TboGZ8X9VwThe lead guitar in the intro absolutely blows me the fuck out. I don't even know how I should practice to get so fast and fluid.Any tips?
>>127896839You could though, you’d just have to spend every waking hour outside of work playing guitar. It’s a lot easier if you can fit that kind of practice in when you’re young. I’m not the cleanest player, but being able to put 10 hours a day in for growth periods between say ages 13-20 really helped me build a foundation to learn anything I want to play serviceably and also train my ear and ability to learn via that and feel. Hendrix is my benchmark music, every so often I’ll reach a new plateau of being able to play his stuff closer to how it actually sounds. I suggest picking some music like that, whatever it is that you love and enjoy, and using it as a regular warm up. Stick with it for years and continue to listen to it as much as you play it. Traditional exercises are fine but they won’t teach you feeling.
>>127897073Problem is - when the lead guitar plays fast, I can't understand what's being played at all. Which actively prevents me from learning those songs.
Why is it that a 7th chord uses a flat 7th and not a natural? You'd think a 'default' chord would be a natural? Or major 7th I guess
>>127897308It's not 'default' it's just shorthand for Dominant 7th.
>>127897308It achieves an "harmonic pull". Its dissonance makes the listener expect or want to go to another note, the tonic.
I'm going to try and find a Tanglewood jetstream in green or blue sparkle and upgrade the pickups and hardware. they give me Steve Morse EBMM vibes.
>>127897393>Steve Morse EBMM
Learning the Yellow Ledbetter guitar solo. Its so good, and soulful it doesn't even feel like im playing it, just Mike Mccready is possessing my guitar
>>127892405Does vox have more mid range than a fender or a marshall? Why do they sound louder than these amps even though they are in the same volume/gain?
>>127896839>>127897135Tried my hand at it. Maybe not 100% accurate, and I'm an idiot when it comes to rhythm so I'm probably notating it in half-time or some shit, but maybe you can work from this. I think it's close.
If you ever wonder buying Fender, buy the MIJ, old or new. their 1k models shit all over even custom shop slop.
>>127897308I'm not exactly sure, and that kinda bothered me too when I first learned it but I think it's just best to accept it the way it is, as that is how everybody understands it. If I had to guess I'd say maybe because (Dominant) 7th chords frequently receive alterations like b5 (#11), b#5 (b13), b9, #9, it'd just be more mumbo jumbo to add to the word salad if you were to start calling them Major-Minor 7 chords or something like that.
>>127897308i think it's because there is an implied focus on the 7th interval. the flat 7th chord is far more distinct and has an audible 7th than a major 7 chord
>returned guitar to GC>went well>went to return amp at other store>found a 5 string squire >oh fuck this feels nice>cheaper than the one I bought from GCCool I'm going to return the ibanez.

Stop buying stuff and go practice.
>>127897691>b#5whoops
>>127897771woah save some fortune for the rest of us, my guy
>>127897791I almost jumped like a kid when I saw the 250 price tag. Already had 75 off from the amp so 154 and a free cheap bag to carry it in. Very lucky find. I much prefer squire/fender necks over ibanez. Also not a fan of the ibanez tuning peg setup. I like a straight line
>>127897831i think you'll like the pickups better too
>>127897653Well fuck. Thanks a lot, anon! That's mighty kind of you.How do you figure lead guitar out? Find the chord being played and then the related notes or something?

>>127897672They really are blowing the fuck out of the non CS American Fenders currently. The craftsmanship on this far exceeds what I’ve seen on the countless AVRIs I’ve tried. I was set on an AVRI but was disappointed by every one of the two dozen or so I’ve played in person. The MIJs from the last few years have had a noticeable step up in both craftsmanship as well as the quality of components they use like woods and electronics. The rosewood on this Jag might be the nicest example I’ve ever seen, it’s stealing me away from my usual maple fretboard fetishization
>>127898022>Fender >:(>Fender, Japan (◠‿◠)But, this time, unironically
>>127895150>>>no flatwoundsflats sound shite tbqhrounds have more bite
>>127897672Nobody would ever buy an American Fenders anyways if you could get the same hardware on Japanese or even Mexican guitars. Also their lines are kinda retarded. 3k for guitars with fucked up specs while you have to spend 5k for actually traditional guitars. Meanwhile Japan drops interesting and fancy designs all the time and sticks closer to the original models.
>>127898081yeah that sounds gross. just play a kalimba if u want treble dude
Keep buying stuff
>>127892557His toan is shit
My practice plans suffer heavily from feature creep.
>>127897924I slow it way down. The long sustained notes are easiest to hear and if a note is sustained it will usually (but maybe not always) be a chord tone so you can use that to help establish the tonality. In this song I actually figured out the riff (rhythm part) first which is (the way I played it anyway) an F minor (F Aeolian) riff with the index finger at the 3rd fret of the D string, playing power chord, minor 6, and perfect 4th double stop kind of shapes on the D and G strings, and then an Eb sus4 dyad into an Eb Major dyad (which I played on the A and D strings); which establishes the tonality as F Aeolian. As for the lead, it starts with a long sustained root note (F), then walks up the F Minor scale to the 5th of the chord/scale. This one was nice because it all seems to fit nicely within the scale without really moving out of position or having any "outside" notes, so if you know your scale shapes you can muck about until you stumble on something close.
>>127898263Feature creep?
>>127898438Like when I'm formulating my plan of "I'm gonna practice this scale!" I'm like,>I'm going to do it in 5 positions>...and all 12 keys>...and I'll do the 7 3-note-per-string shapes as well>...and I'm going to play x, y, and z sequences through the scale shapes>...and I'm going to practice it horizontally across each string too>...and I'm going to practice it ascending and descending on string pairs>...and I'll try to find the triad and arpeggio shapes within each scale shape>...and I'll practice those with enclosures and approach notes>...andBasically I keep coming up with shit that will make my practice more comprehensive until it becomes an intimidating mess.
>>127898388>playing power chordAllright->minor 6, and perfect 4th double stop kind of shapes on the D and G strings, and then an Eb sus4 dyad into an Eb Major dyad (which I played on the A and D strings)-and I'm completely lost. To the point that I don't even understand what I'm supposed to play for that riff.Truly a humbling post.
does it really matter if the guitar has a knot in it, it still has like six strings and 20 something frets right?
How do we feel about Eastmans?
>>127898967Eastmen
>>127898719Maybe you should look into intervals and chords and shiet
>>127898967eastmans what? this dude better not be from the west
>>127898988I try, but it's overwhelming and I'm an absolute retard when it comes to figuring pitch. It's a long road.
>>127898967used to be good but after they bought bourgeois it changed the voicing of their acoustics, they stopped using nitro, and stop using name brand tuners. paying $1k+ for an overseas instrument and not getting grovers or gotohs is retarded
>>127898719Sorry I'm just trying to be overly analytical with it, basically it's just riffing embellishments on an F power chord and hitting an F pedal tone in between. It doesn't really matter what each embellishment should technically be called, just the sound it produces is important. I kinda fucked up calling it a m6 interval, too, I meant the "Minor 6th interval" as in "the flat 6 interval," not Fm6 (which despite its name, has a Major 6th interval o_O).
>>127899084Those are the dyads (essentially 2 note chords) and you just return to the F bass note in between them until you get to the Ebsus4 dyad.
Why's it so hard to find a nice Mustang with a maple fretboard
>>127899136most mustangs aren't nice
>>127899141this
>>127898719>>127899084>>127898988>>127899121Helpful cheat sheet.
I dunno what do. I was aiming to get the Schecter PT Special for my next guitar but comparing playing on my Benton Tele vs my Gibby LP while standing, the latter just feels so much nicer. I think its because of the neck angle, for some reason it just feels so fucking good playing standing. The Tele style on the other hand feels so restrictive in some areas. It would be the same with the Schecter since they're the same shape and everything which sucks because I really like that guitar.On the other hand, there's not much LP I can get in that price range. If I could, I'd get one of the Fujigens because they're just so fucking good for the price but it's over 1k. There's some Epis in the lower range which look nice and have the specs but Epi QC is kinda dodgy. I've also been looking at that Agufish Benton LP which definitely has the specs but Benton's QC is even worse and I'd miss the inlays. What to do aaah.
>>127899147most of these shapes go out the window when you change tuning, although the concept of keeping a shape for an interval across the fretboard remains the same
>>127899169This is why I don't change tuning except to drop D on occasion.
>>127899141What do I do then? I want something with 2 pickups that isn’t a Tele
>>127899180I'm going to tune my guitar to open b so they flop about like wet noodle, what are you going to doodoo about it kid
>>127899198Get what you think is nice. Go to a store, find something you like the look of and try it. There's really no bad guitar today so find something you like, try it out and see if you vibe with it.
>>127899221Your mom
>>127899227my mom makes you shit your pants?

>>127899198do what you want man i just like shitposting about mustangs and ibanez. don't take it too seriously
>>127899167check out esp/ltd. they're a bit more modern. honestly kind of too modern for my taste but they're good value
>>127899084>>127899121I can't thank you enough, anon! I managed to figure some of it out (I assume it's a common technique, as I've heard it before in several songs) before you posted, but it's much clearer now.I'm baffled by your analysis.Now it's time to learn it (except the solo in the middle, I'm nowhere near skilled enough to fully figure it out and learn to play it fast enough), and I'll try to reflect on what notes/chords I'm playing.Bless you!
>>127899372Yeah they're a bit too modern for my taste as well. I do like the 2 by 2 pot setup for example more than their three inline ones. Also the horn is too pointy. Can't argue with the value though, Ltd is definitely delivering where it counts.
>>127899198Get a neck from Warmoth. Leo designed them to be assembled and reassembled.
Just tested both the ibanez and the squire 5 string with no pedal effects and the ibanez is louder than the squire by a lot but it also farts whenever I play with force behind my notes. Squire doesn't have that problem but its noticeably quite compared to ibanez. Also not 100% sure if the knobs are working. I cant hear any difference when moving them around. I think i can stop the fart sound from the ibanez if I turn the knobs down but that's super gay .
>>127899492is the ibanez active?
apartment amp suggestions?walls are thin, but i have upwards of 60-70 pedals so I can drive an amp if needed at low volumeright now i use about a dozen pedals at any time and put my headphone amp at the end but i feel like im missing something. is there something i can use that can do low volume?
>>127899511Yeah it's active so it has that boost shit on it. The boost kinda ruin the sound when I pair it with FX cause it's too encapsulating.
>>127899530Any amp with a headphone jack
>>127899550that will make it sound louder. cut your low mids around 500hz to get rid of the fart
>>127899550active pickups are a kek meme, they drive way too hard and need batteries weekly
>>127899571i think the active boost might not be for me. even when i cut the low mids on the amp, if i have the boost on im still getting that sound. adding a bit of gain on the amp or my compressor pedal gave the squire some more presence. >>127899590yeah im not a huge fan of extra drive on bass. i had an active 4 string bass for a few weeks earlier this year and i wasn't a huge fan of the active thing back then either. didn't even notice the ibanez was active until the anon mentioned it and i checked.
>>127899734yeah i hate active pickups
>>127899530Any small combo amp I guess. Or consider bigger amp with an attenuator
>>127899755compressor pedal/amp level adjustment covers the same job as active too yeah
man something must be up, I've been think about getting a bass guitar even though I said I'll just keep to guitar for now
i seriously regret buying these xs strings

Is there anyone who like active pickups? I don't think I've met anyone irl who uses them
>>127897308Dominant chords were used earlier and are more common than maj7 chords so it was just the first one named i guessMaj7 is not really a proper chord because it's got half step dissonance but it doesn't have a clear resolutionAlso a dominant chord does have a "natural" 7th, it's just the 7th of the dominant (the 5). Read an intro to theory book my nigga
You guys echolocating this?
>>127900683I like them. I grew up playing active pickups and they are outstanding for certain kinds of music. Cleans are exceptionally cleans, distorted tones are clear and articulate. The only place they sort of fall short is when you want to roll the volume off to almost nothing and get that sort of nuanced barely playing tone or you want all the grit and harmonics, grit and feedback of passive pickups. It's really a choice and what you're going for. There are certainly guys like wylde who can get a full range out of those pickups. But I think in the end what they do extremely well is clean tones.
>>127900768I thought of some better examples so let me elaborate on this. I think active pickups feel more like they have a noisegate built in, so it’s harder to get those half rolled off on the edge of breakup articulate crunchy tones, but what they excel at is super high gain and extreme cleans. Because if you take a passive pickup and try to get the same you’re going to get a bunch of spikes and clipping when you’re heavily distorted, and clean if you pick hard enough it’ll start to break up. Whereas active pickups sort of normalize the volume of everything and always sound crisp. I think they both sound good in their respective ways but it’s really what you’re trying to achieve. I don’t think you can say that one is better than the other.
>>127900827when you get better you just want to plug straight into an amp/pa and turn 1-2 knobs max
>>127900827You could say passive pickups are better because they don't require a battery to run but beyond that it's strictly the matter of personal preference. When it comes to tone, "better" is in the ears of the beholder.
>>127900850I've always been that way. I don't think that has any bearing on what I'm saying. Zakk wylde ran a tiny pedalboard with 3-4 pedals max and used both passive and active pickups in his career. But he was able to get his signature tone for both, and I think the EMG's fit his style better because he picks harder active pickups tend to clip less and have unwanted harmonics when you're trying to play tight clean hard rock and metal licks. Same with Metallica. Their albums sounded noticeably cleaner after justice when they switched to emg's. I'm not saying I prefer one over the other, I play passive pickups now. I'm just saying that active pickups are great at what they do.
>>127900683I like it for bass in some settings. More the active EQ side and having shape controls and bandpass that do something before it ever touches a pedal. I don't like keeping a 9v that isn't expired around in order to use it, but it is nice if you're doing a lot of different styles of music or recording.
>>127900902This is zakk's pedalboard which is pretty true to his early ozzy stuff. It's just an MXR delay, MXR chorus, and MXR phase 90 with a dunlop wah and a volume pedal. He played through metaltronix modified marshall jcm800's and that was his tone. He started out with gibson custom les pauls on the first album and switched to emg's around no more tears. But all those albums sounded fantastic.
>>127900973Forgot pic. But yeah to say active pickups suck when you'll never have the tone he got on no more tears is fake and gay.
>Want a body kit with a specific pickup config>All "quality" kits won't do custom pickup routingI don't want electronics and parts, just a body, Neck, and Fretted Fretboard. Hardware and Electronics I'm going to furnish, and I want to paintAny word about Zhong or Chinkshit in general
>>127900902It's like the question of miccing up an acoustic or classical. Piezo is the easiest and sounds alright but is kinda lacking. Dynamic or condenser goes into very specific needs due to style and setting. No choice is bad, but it doesn't fit for every application.
>>127900983You want a specific body routed to your spec, which you can find and pay that extra for. I don't want to say that kits aren't quality, but they're not finished and ready to bolt on regardless.
>>127900902yeah i think there's a few camps when it comes to active pickups: people either don't like them because of option paralysis or they find the idea of shaping a flat eq into something usable tedious or they like them because they have a very specific tone in mind or like to cover a lot of different genres. active pickups are noiseless like you said and can be very good at shaping because of the onboard preamp but i'm in the camp that they sound lifeless to me and i'd rather let my tone come through dynamics and the way i play and just find an amp that gives me the sound i like. i liked my active bass when i had one but i just felt uninspired when i picked it up because it didn't really have its own identity
>>127900983warmoth
>>127900981What's the chain for?
>>127898022There should be an addendum to MIJ's though- replacing the pups. They're great as-in and better than any US made, but with proper electronics you're reaching CS level.
>>127899530I live in an apartment and I just bought a 1973 Super Reverb. Fuck 'um.
What ever happened to people buying one guitar and sticking with it?
>>127901317People are too focused trying to replicate sounds That and people have more ADD now and want to collect
>>127901317i have poor money management skills
>>127901317I'll probably stop at 3
haha
Have you ever messed up so badly playing guitar or bass that you wince in embarrassment?
>>127901317i do that, i just have one guitar for each purposemy les paul is my two humbucker go-to in standardmy prs is my half-down two humbucker my tele is my single coil go-to my second tele is strung in 5 string open geach serves a purpose and is ready to go whenever i want
https://voca.ro/1dJiTx5n44Oh
>>127901497this made my dog cower in the corner
>>127892405Am I crazy or is the tele nick pickup actually physically different than the bridge pickup in being slimmer yet taller with narrower windings, thus providing it's different sonic profile?
>>127901629the sonic profile is mainly due to how far away from the bridge the neck pickup is. the big metal plate around the pickup probably slightly alters the magnetic field too. same with rick basses and that giant mri machine around their pickup
>>127901629ope forgot pick
>>127901497You ok bro?
>may have perfect pitch but am rarely tuned to 440 and don't know half the notes anyway so can't test it Oh well.
>>127901685I heard noiseless pickups handle gain differently, so I'm thinking about lowering the neck pickup so it has less sound, turing the middle position essentially into a noiseless bridge but still a true single coil.
>>127901453I usually just rampantly strum all of the strings and yell "fuck!"
>>127900973>>127900981>no more tearspretty sure it's the yamaha spx90 doing the heavy legwork on that track, as far as gear goes, iirc
>>127901650the ric cover is plastic, the housing is chrome, but that cover is plastic. It's that both pickups are in a weird position nowhere near any sensible harmonic and are shithot.
>>127901453All the time.
>>127895131Jon Stewart looking whiter these days..
>>127901930interesting. i thought they had a model year at one point with a cast magnet that looped over the top of the pickup
>>127901821the seymour duncan customs look nice and have an extra wire to cut it between noiseless modern pissing hot and classic 53 sounds
>>127901994That's the horseshoe and they replaced it in the late 50s. It was pretty terrible and most iconic rics have had the newer pickups since. They did make the neck pickup hotter in the 70s or so, but the bridge one has been ~14-18kOhm, the neck is like an sg and nowhere near the 24th harmonic, and it's all generally very weird and awful to play. I wish I didn't sell it, but it is what it is.
Hurdy gurdy warming up
>>127901765bro got sucked into tartarus and you're asking if hes ok
>>127902089May he be the light in the darkness...

>>127892518Forwarded this to Reverb btw (by the way). Show some integrity, show some respect. Be a good force in the world, yeah? Your'e cooked already if you cant tell you're being a big jerk doing something like that.
anyone know bands that use 5 string bass in their songs? looking to find some other stuff to practice. i got 3 bands so far that i know with a song i can practice. just looking for whatever else ic an find
>>127901317Practicing is hard. Buying shit you don't need is easy.Also >>127901353There's this retarded obsession with replicating all of Hendrix's shit tones and sloppy technique that we should have gotten over 55 years ago.
It's finally done and it sounds great.
>>127902245why he mustard?
>>127902271Blazing Bonfire
>>127902191you'll find most 5 string basses doing praise music. look into it, even if you don't like the music there is a lot to learn from the bass playing. travis dykes and justin raines are a good place to start
>>127902149Oh no reverb got told about my joke about my 50 year old guitar, what am I gonna do??
>>127902290>you'll find most 5 string basses doing praise musicthere was 2 guys in the store i was in earlier and i was listening in on them cus they talked about bass. both played in separate church bands but also mentioned that their band members usually play 5 string bass in church. on songsterr theres not a lot of 5 string bass songs that i know. i scrolled the first 200 and found 5 that i knew
>>127902245Nice color, anon. One day I want a Strat in pic rel. It’s similar but a little brighter.
>>127902245Looks good. What did you do besides refin?
>>127902245For reference it looked exactly liker pic related once
>>127902245Wow that looks great
>>127902317Filled the old control cavity routed out for p90s changed the bridge added string through feurrels and all new controls and pick guard.
>>127902320Thank you.
Whoa
https://voca.ro/12OgmisDedaO
>>127902369this sounds like a synth arpeggio
>>127902369Very beautiful.
>>127898089>>127901132They are now though, the pickups on that 2025 Jag are the same as the ones that come on the AVRI guitars, Pure Vintage series. Between that and the alder bodies it’s a no brained at this point. Not sure if the Jag was a rare occasion but if they did this on all MIJs going forward then I think they’d be riding on top.
>>127902310sorry man i dont know anything specific a lot of people just use the B string to play in keys lower than E and grab the lower 5th using normal basslines
>>127902406its the harmonic synth effect on guitar rig 6 you can still hear me picking especially toward the end.
Should I get neon green or neon pink dimarzio pickups and knobs?
https://voca.ro/1iMnwUcCn1TQ
>>127898975Eatsmen was right there..
Saw some thick juicy hunks today at the farmers market. Got a few looks too ;). Feeling juiced up. Got a bag full of Greggs sausage rolls. Gonna fuel up and rock, lads. If that's alright with you? Simple as.
>>127902457more of a steak bake kinda guy
>>127899136Is that an actual vintage or a Vintera with a painted headstock, like my blue one here? The Mustang 90 comes with a maple neck, a very nice one too.
>>127902446one vote for green
>>127899530Get a 50w tube amp and a power soak/attenuator. You get the organic goodness and break up of a tube amp and have the power to dial the volume externally.
>>127902422nah its cool, my goal with a 5 string lies outside of using it normally. the lightning bolt bassist uses the ADG strings and replaced the 2 bottom strings with banjos. im gonna try that out tomorrow
>>127902369Nice, did you write this?
>>127901317I’ve been playing guitar for 22 years, I play every day, I play every one of my dozen and a half guitars regularly. A few times a month at least. This line of questioning reeks of poorfag coping, stop wondering about other people’s guitars and play your guitar.
>>127902512>reeks of poorfag copingthats essentially every gear post in /gg/
>>127902512Based boomer. Abundance mindset
I love this bassline for 12-bar-bluesy compositions. I'm gonna learn to play it on my precision bass with flatwound strings. Let's say I'm playing in the key of C blues and I'm gonna be playing this bass line for the 1 and the 4 chords. At what position of the fretboard is it better to play it? Also, what kind of tone should I go for? Also, should I play the fifth on the same string as the third or on the next string?
>>127902585i would do classical position (middle finger on root, index on your 3rd interval, pinky on 5th interval, grab your G and F on the low E string. depends on amp but tone at like 40%. a mid focused funk tone isn't very strong on a p bass, you really need a bridge pickup
>>127902149You a big Ben Gibbard fan? Learn to read a joke bub.
>>127902245Good stuff man. Sure looks nice.
>>127902685Huh? I just want to play some tasty licks ong. He a bass player or something?
I want this tone https://youtu.be/XmK7Tm0_3t0
>>127902756wish granted next request
If anyone has both a digital caliper and the pick that comes with Keeley pedals, can you tell me how thick it is?This pick is great for acoustic, but it's the only one I have like it.
i'm depressed and middle agedshould i learn bass
>>127903037can you compare it to a coin. i don't have a keeley pick
>>127902512>I play every one of my dozen and a half guitars regularlyThere's no way you actually play 18 guitars daily. Feeling called out?
>>127903210he doesn't really have to. they're all offset ibanez sound gears, just one for every color of the pride flags
>trogly buys a gibson bass>it's cracked literally the way down the middle of the neckwhat the fuck
>>127903278truss rod tightened to all fuck
>>127903291interesting. i guess glue joints really are stronger that wood. i was wondering what happened if you did this i always expected the fretboard to pop off but that is quite a large surface area
>>127903063Middle age and depression is not what you should fear. What you should fear is living an inauthentic life. So I recommend playing the blooz.
I am bisexual, support Palestine, and my wife's boyfriend is looking for a bassist for his band. What bass should I buy?
