>>128170938how does Canada get their guitars to come out so low res
1st 4 never shittin/gg/ cum #IntactBlackCherry
Any tips to practice smart but play hard?
>>128170953youre gonna make reddit real mad buying anything that isnt quirk chungus chinkoid trash and pretending its just as good as a custom shop anon
>>128171037You're not the guy you're replying to, to his point on epis: epi has had one off models that sound unusually good for awhile. I have one of the original 2011 nighthawk custom reissues and sure the pickups are ceramic clones of the original nighthawk SD stuff (some say SD designed the ceramics for the reissue) it's still insanely fun to play, light, and has a wide range of tones. I just wish mine didn't have a warped neck and needed a new nut/setup.Oh to his other point: the regular LP studio/classics/customs are better but the new gibson inspired by are all surprisingly dogshit. The new epi greeny doesn't even have a veneer, on the two I saw they had a kind of car-wrap type plastic on the top, bad set up, and the greenybuckers (actual gibson greenybuckers too) weren't properly potted/wired and had buzz and the out-of-phase middle didn't even work, and that's a 1300 MSRP guitar
>>128171107>warped neckkiln dried wood is why I’ll never buy a cheap instrument
Bought an oud. Not great and has that sloppy factory "handmade" quality but it sounds alright up most of the neck and I think I can dope the tuning pegs enough to keep it in tune. Some notes for anyone who cares (no one cares lol): the ergonomics are awful and someone should have fixed it a few centuries ago. The edge eats into your arm like nothing else because you use it to hold the fucker in place. All newfag guitar talk about hands is now about not having a short enough right arm and the bazaar proportions to fit around it. It's easier to play fretless than I thought it would be. I think it's one of those "you've got it or you don't" things unless you're 5 and playing violin. Still hard, but not nearly as hard as I thought.Rishas are floppy as shit for picks and whatever thing they sent with it is made out of fucking rubber. They do tremolo well but it's not tactile or pleasant. I see why all the cool kids use horn or an eagle feather. It's more fun than guitar already. As far as the learning curve and what you can do with it. Slides are amazing without frets.
>>128171141It's amazing that you can hop onto amazon and get a decent MiC CNC'd guitar with roasted maple necks nowadays, mine smells like syrup uwuuuuu
>>128171211it’ll be even more impressive when it warps or rots from the inside out in 10 years
In all honesty, will learning music theory actually help me play guitar better?If no, how does anybody actually learn how to make music?
>>128171853advanced theory is kind of a waste imo like modes and reharmonization. what you should learn is your intervals because that will teach you all your scales, chords, and progressions—it will also give you a frame of reference to develop your ear. you can use theory to understand why licks or certain progressions sound good that way you can use them in other keys or embellish them in new ways. chords and therefore scales all have certain feelings and that’s what you should be making based off (feeling), music theory just helps you recognize patterns in the music for faster recognition and implementation instead of relying entirely on your ear and knowledge of the instrument.
>>128170918Which IRs should I get? Ownhammer, York or other?
>>128171965Better question, what the fuck is an impulse response, and why do people jack off over them? Is that like a cabinet simulation?
>>128171972it’s one of those vr sex toys I think
>>128171972kikes found a way to sell people EQ settings
REALLY thinking about a double bound black Tele with a maple neck, like pic related but binding on the backside of the body and none of the relicing. I don’t have a Tele with a maple neck and this would be cool. I need another electric like I need a hole in the head and I don’t need a third Tele but I still want one
>>128172082get Texas tea. it’s fenders best solid color
>>128172082For some reason, I've seen two squier CV teles with the front/back biding at guitar center. Maybe see if you can spot/snipe one? Like 300$ in the used section, pop in some new fender pups and shielding tape and ur g2g
>>128172106you’d be surprised how good stock pickups are if you just play through a good amp
>>128171898Are there any good tutorials on this? How long will it take?
I was at guitar center today getting a refund on my pro coverage they pressured me into (they weren’t happy about that and kept complaining) and I ended up buying one of the Dunlop setup gauges. So now I can at least check my relief and string height and adjust all that myself. I don’t think my guitar needs fretwork. But yeah. Idk if I’ll buy anything from that guitar again.
>>128171024Run the Pentatonic scale down the fret board in each key while utilizing EJ's skip fives technique.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CHyTfHdnuQ
>>128172147Scotty’s videos are unironically great. He goes more in depth but you should at least look at his scales, chords, and timing/notation videos. Maybe 3 months to internalize, a year or two to actually understand enough to implement correctly. Most people get worse at playing when they learn theory because they aren’t using it correctly, when I say worse I mean their music has zero feeling
>>128172102Nah I don’t like Texas tea. Spent some time a few years ago at my local shop playing a Texas tea Tele ultra and didn’t like that it looked like a dark green booger>>128172106A cheap Squier would probably be the smart choice but if I go through with getting one I’d probably sell some stuff to put toward a nice one
>>128172242you need your eyes calibrated
>>128172268Ur mum calibrated my dick n balls last night ;^)
>>128171972Yes, amp head - reactive load box (IR loader) - monitors/pa
>>128172275good for her. it’s been so long since she’s felt the touch of a man
>>128172268Texas tea more like Texas pee It looks alright in pictures but I don’t like how it looks in person when different lights hit it
>>128172118>just play through a good ampSo many get filtered by this
>>128172351sexo wiring
>>128172310Ur wife helped her out too ;^)
>>128172358Matamp doesn't fuck around
>>128172370still using boards instead of artistic point to point, but yeah, it's NOICE, I will admit.
>>128170918Gold tops are fucking stupidThat is all
>>128172575>last 4 digits equal 100damn I guess it’s true
Original composition. Recorded last winter. ---"AMC Spirit"https://voca.ro/1ejorFcbA70X
New drop Deez nuts riff just dropped.https://vocaroo.com/1eZ7clC1Zwmq
>>1281729462nd part is dope first part is too "deftones" but I dig it in it's entirety I guess.
I find this preferable to everything short of hard picks, if you're into harder picks but still want to tremolo. Doesn't tremolo as well. Grip actually does something on the macro level. Real horn is alright, very stiff for oud but would do nice for single picking guitar.
>>128168971why spend 5000 bucks on that shit when you can spend 500 bucks on a tonex instead
>>128173451not everyone is stuck playing in their bedroom
>>128173501you gonna plug into front of house anyways lil bro ;3
>>128173514thank you for your opinion, guy who has never played a show in his life
>>128170918I just dreamt that a youtube guy made a video criticizing the riff in Neurotica by Polyphia was too repetitiveWe're back to the old OP huh, is there a silent war going on? These people hate the new links?
>>128170938why do people always glaze Canadian wood? how is wood in one country different?the girls I understand
>>128170938>tfw my canadian guitar was made in california
>>128173623sunlight temperature precipitation average soil content all affects trees drastically, but whether it’s objectively better or not who can say.
>>128173623For whatever reason, Godin/seagull own a lot of land they grow trees and seem to be one of the few "affordable" brands that do solid tops/backs. So overall it's a good value even if S6's are rather sweet and trebley on average.
>>128173514you've never even jammed with a drummer lmao
>>128173923I've jammed with more men than you could ever dream of. Watch your tone.
>>128173995*you’ve been jammed by more men
>>128174251Take it back
>>128174363I do t think I will
You guys seein this?
>>128174409I am, but I can’t hear it. Am I going to make it?
Whoa
>>128170918I've been trying to 100% this for too long but between failed note detection and that damn second bridge riff I think I may actually use my LP as a club to break heads in the ubisoft toronto office
I'm a burden

>>128174896That’s a reverb tank this is my amp. I’m getting another one for the bass cab tho
>>128174873only 240? or just 120? three phase 480 sucks
>>128174981120, just for a lil second made my arm tingle and gave me a headache. I think I’m alive though. It would be kind of cool if I had died tho
>>128174873did you feel it? the echo of the void calling out your name? wanting to grant you solace? inviting you into her bosom?
>>128175006kek welcome back to earth buddy

>>128175085Thanks it’s actually just for show tho cuz I can’t hear a thing anymore
Sunburst Les Pauls aren’t just for boomers
>>128175237I like the Unburst. But I ain't getting a Les Paul anytime soon.almost like a Slash one I've seen him play ...except he has wicked flames on his. Maybe you all know it.
I don't really understanding 'singing in tune'Are you telling me singers actively write the notes they have to sing instead of just singing the lyrics they wrote however they see fit?
Just got done drinking some brews and recording a bunch of Improv! How are you fellas doing?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCjqnJLXI0w
>>128175277The voice is an instrument too, you know. If you're actually singing a melody (not just talking/rapping) there are notes there too.most of the time, singing off tune is just a weak voice that breaks or can't reach the note in question, but you can tell they're trying to. Or they're going for vibrato and can't control it.
>>128175314now explain how you rap off beat
>>128174890Is this a soldano??
>>128175277if you ever want to harmonize you need to sing in tune
>>128175314Yeah but is it just like an intrinsic knowledge of what sounds good/the mood they're trying to convey or do they actually sit down and write sheet music for singing because that's what confuses me. It seems like a lot of songs could be sung in a lot of different ways and sound good with a lot of different voices
>>128175389What did he say about being off beat? He’s talking about being in tune.
>>128175447I cannot vocal harmonize at all. My wife can do it effortlessly with random stuff on the radio or on tv or whatever, stuff she’s never heard before. I struggle to vocal harmonize with a song I’ve heard a hundred times. I can sing in tune fine but harmonizing is just out of the question for me.
>>128175465it’s just like guitar you really have to practice your scales. I know it’s bullshit and some people can do it naturally but it’s a skill that can be developed like anything else
What's harder? Drawing or guitar?
>>128175496I’ve done both but I suppose it depends on how advanced you want to take it. I find guitar to be much easier but you can literally trace drawings to practice. they’re very similar artistically
>>128175496im trans btw i dont know if that matters

Anyone here ever put together a partscaster from a stripped body? I’m looking at a body that has all its holes drilled and is routed for pickups but there is zero hardware. I am a brainlet and am worried I’m going to be in over my head installing the jack, pickups, bridge, switches and knobs, and making sure a neck will be straight and level with good frets.
A used Les Paul now goes for over $3500.baka
>>128175748and entry level jobs are starting at $20 an hour get with the times unc
>>128175748Is that Canadian?
>>128175762Where?
>>128175790Everywhere, in fact its so ubiquitous tell me where they are hiring for less than that. Walmart Mcdonalds etc all $20+ to start.
>>128175729soldering is easy if you start with a decent iron ($60) and good solder. as far as the neck goes as long as the body isn’t some cheap Chinese shitplank you shouldn’t have any fitment issues with any reputable neck. as far as straightness and good frets go that all gets adjusted by the saddles and bridge and if it’s bad you can learn to level the frets or pay someone to do it. It’s no big deal. I’ve seen some humbuckers with with feet not fit in shit like Jackson or esp or similar back routed strats. the fender design that screws into the pickguard is honestly a better mounting solution as far as compatibility goes
Guys name was Jimmy Urine, turns out he got a kick outta peein on people
>>128175904There was pee, yes. The pee tasted sweet and crisp, like the juice of a ripe pear. But these waters no longer flow. These valleys once fertile with growth have slumbered into dormancy as we, the elders who recall when the grasses grew majestically, too grow more weary every day.
turns out they had him fight a baby, they had him convinced it was his past self sent to the future to steal his birthday.
>>128175941They hate to see it...
Guitars that look great but suck to play:FirebirdsRickenbackers12-strings (all)
>>12817604812 string is a meme just get a chorus or double track
>>128176048firebird doesn't look bad and I like the firebird mini-humbuckers, I have one with a split on my beater, she play good.
Nomsaying?
2 knobs vs 4 is a trade off, I don't think one is strictly better than the other
>>128175279Warming up. Nice playing, buckethead would be proud. A word to the wise though, there are a lot of schizos here, some for almost a decade..
He’s onto us…
the orange pick is the best
>>128176541blue turtles
The red Mustang is gone, the Revstar is gone, and I’m thinking about maybe selling the natural Strat to put toward one more Tele but with a maple neck
>>128176598Bro, what about Yamaha's craftsmanship?
>>128176619The Revstar was a phenomenal guitar, I just didn't like the flatter radius and the giant jumbo frets and liked my other P90 guitars better. I still 100% think the Revstar is top three best guitars on the market sub $1000, those are just personal dislikes of mine of its specs that aren’t the guitar’s fault
How long do you guys practice per day and how?
>>128176541Trvke
Check em out
>>128176722Man I'm still torn about any kind of humbucker on a tele, I hear actual fender cunife wide-ranges sound super sweet though
>>128176712At least 30 minutes, maybe two hours if I have time. What do you mean how?
>>128176853Don't tell me you don't have a practice plan i.e. fifteen minutes of playing to tempo, fifteen minutes something else etc.
>>128176717Ernie Ball Prodigy Mini 2mm is the best pick ever made. Or at least that I have tried so far. I started playing jazz 3 picks. Switching from Dunlop nylon 1mm. Really liked the small style after getting used to it. Saw the prodigy mini 2mm and was intrigued by the thickness of it. Tried them and liked them better than the jazz 3. Dunlop big stubby is nice too. Has a different tone with the big rounded edges. Feels good in the fingers. Also love these green rubber picks that are 3mm I think. I like using the rubber pick with my ukulele. It's good to have a few kinds of picks that, allow different tones.
>>128176894Practice plans are for chicks.
>>128176894Yes, list of exercises then maybe some scale work, learn a song or riff or work on my own music or improvise to a backing track.
>>12817671230 minutes back in black, 30 minutes smoke on the water, 30 minutes iron man, 30 minutes crazy train, 30 minutes smells like teen spirit, 30 minutes master of puppets (intro only)
>>1281767123 hours or more. I learn a new song every day, work on building tempo and trying out different rhythmic ideas with 2 songs I am familiar with, I’ll completely to try rearrange another song or work on improvisation. that last one usually eats an hour of my time. maybe 30 mins is highly structured practice to a metronome
>>128177083What's the most difficult song you can play now
Sound design track titled "opening credits". Might sound good with some spaghetti western guitar if anybody wants to try...https://voca.ro/1bzkhjYi8razhttps://voca.ro/1bzkhjYi8raz
>>128177163bill cheatham at 100 bpm or Beaumont rag at 90. I play bluegrass which is mostly an improvisational genre so hard to quantify by standards you’re familiar with
>>128176712I don't practice ever.
>>128177251im by all accounts still a beginner btw i just practice a lot
>>128177232Playa out here with spaghetti on his guitar ong. You guys crazy fr.
>>128177302Do you enjoy practice? I think it's a really great feeling when you are in the zone in the middle of a long practice session. Almost feels like you're hypnotized. You kind of are, actually.
https://voca.ro/1jtwG4a7AFa1
>>128177232idk my guy i can't really make this work
https://voca.ro/13BTaYjWWLju
>>128176116firebird is just the explorer for blues boobs
>>128177340yes I also love my guitar. I just hate when I’ve been playing for so long that the B and e strings feel like razors on my fingers. I’ve got good calluses but they only do so much
>>128177354https://voca.ro/129nTQTvfEEvI time stretched your recording over the whole track. Kind of sound like an organ. Then I placed the original recording in a few places. I think it sounds cool. I'm imagining the character walking by a train track in the prairie. Up to no good.
If somebody records a naratation in the style of Cormac McCarthy I'll ad it.
>>128177402Added your recording for the introhttps://voca.ro/19VjYB1PfHKn
If anyone here can play Cannibal Corpse, the first riff on Frantic Disembowelment... Before the 3-6-3 I see people playing a hammer-on 8th note on 5th fret of Ab string even though tabs say it's two picked 16th notes. So I don't know how to proceed
Added a placeholder computer voice speaking this text, "A field is blown over by the wind upon its surface... scattered... Into the wind... The traveler knows not why... Nor cares how... He is a man of crime... A man with no morals at all... He looked down to his wounded leg... Maggots writhing in the viscera... He put them there to stave off infection... He felt nothing but emptiness... " https://voca.ro/1oUwNQZqtrq9
>>128177802maybe get rid of the second in the wind
>>128177810Record it how you want and I'll put it in
>>128177831Sorry I don’t have any good recording equipment
>>128177871Far out. Recorder app on a smart phone works, though. Sound quality doesn't matter too much to be honest.

Ok scene ones audio is complete. https://voca.ro/1ajByCuncLCT
>>128171965All of them. They can be easily "pirated".I currently have these and I think I'm set. Together with various NAM captures of amps, I now have an amp sim on par with NeuralDSP, Amplitube, Bias Fx or whatever is out there combined. Depending on your DAW, you can create presets and then just wildly combine them. It's heaven.
>>128178304True americana
>>128177639tabs are usually written by people that dont actually play just use them as a roadmap and feel it out if it sounds off
I got a free trial of the Soldano slo100 plugin from neural and I have to say it sounds very good. Should keep me occupied until my stadium comes.
>>128176655I love jumbo frets and flat radius. Revstar is nearly perfect for me. To each their own. I plan to buy another Revstar after I get my Christmas money. Idk if I’ll go with the p90 version again or the humbucker. I have my charvel with JB/59 so probably the p90 version again. It was such a versatile guitar. I think I’ll get in blue this time. I will replace the bridge and tuners though as they’re kind of junky.
>>128175496drawing 100%, assuming you're doing representative art (i.e., not paint splatter bullshit)music is non-representative. You aren't trying to sound like anything when you play guitar, except for maybe vaguely like some other guitar you've heard before. But when you draw a face, you're trying to create an accurate representation of something that actually exists in the world, and that everyone is very familiar with, so if anything is even slightly off about it, it will look really weirdso yeah drawing is harder. Both are based though, still do both>t. suck at both
Are you guys going top of the line with new Line6 Helix Stadium? Or keeping things affordable with the Valeton GP-5?
>>128178823woa
>>128178929Top of the line.
>>128178929top of the lime
>>128178929i just buyded an amp so probably gonna hold off until the beginning of next year
>>128178929I’m waiting for the line 7
For the anon that was wondering about the 212cl powercab toans in the roomhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IuZVxl-kMY
>>128178929I'll just keep using real amps.
>>128179109incredibly boxy sounding
>>128179134Are you listening with good headphones? It sounds fine to me.
>>128179134Yeah and the mids aren't as creamy as I'd like. Lacks also the top end sizzle and the low end punch.
>>128179210it sounds like different flavors of the exact same thing, but nothing like what it's trying to emulate.
>>128179210The clean stuff sounds thin and too bright and the dirty stuff muffled.
>>128179109Sounds pretty okily dokily (except the vintage). Are they close to sounding like that in the room?Cause fender models and captures never really sound like such during live playthrough on my 1x12 V30, only slightly in post after recording. Then again the vid uses different guitars and models. What's your experience with your new charvel and compared to the other tube amps you've had?
>>128179469I haven’t played the powercab cl yet I might hook it up to this soldano plugin later today and see how it works with the built in cab sim vs the flat response with cab sim. I don’t have the stadium xl yet, maybe next week. The charvel sounds and plays great though. I just need to get a tremel no so I can easily drop to D. At least until I pick up a hard tail guitar for drop tunings.
>>128179588Neat, looking forward to it. As for the tremel no, I highly recommend it - just watch out for the tiny ass pin that connects that rod assembly and loctite/nail polish it from the get go. Also works better without the rubber grommets on the thumb screws.
People treating guitar like an Olympic event heh. Slow down
>>128179674Where are my relay partners
if you didn't buy this, you are a poorfa/gg/
>>128179654I have blue loctite. I’m not going to change anything once I get it installed. Just setting it to dive only so I can drop to D and bend double stops. I didn’t want to connect my guitar to my powercab with the mesa mkv plugin cause honestly it’s a little underwhelming and tends to clip no matter how I set it. But this soldano plugin is smooth and should reproduce well. Also, I need to make a couple adjustments to my pickup height and string height before. Bought one of those daddario setup tools to measure the height of everything. I got a new glass slide which is exciting cause I can play it on medium or low action much easier than a heavy brass one.
Any must have books? Or is everything video now??
>>128179743Because it's not shaped like an explorer
>>128179849Amp shouldn't be that small
what guitar to buy if want to be a tiktok e-boy?

Strap locks!What are your chosen strap locks?Just ordered some Jim Dunlop Dual design ones.I want to get some black nickel ones but they cost 3 times as much as Nickel/Chrome/Black right now.
Choose your fighter, /gg/.
>>128180137i use duct tape
>>128180137bottle caps
>>128179984They only make them in the custom shop now
>>128180137Schallers hands down. It's the first thing I do as soon as I buy a new guitar
>>128180174For me it's regular strings.
>>128176116They build a small version of it tuned in G D A E and call it Mandobird. Nice little instrument. Any of you doing something against this awfull buzzing sound when the electric guitar is plugged into the amp but not being played? I layed in some copper foil in the pick-up "cave" and soldered it to ground. Makes a huge difference
>>128180323If your guitar is properly shielded and grounded but it persists, its usually a mains voltage/wiring issue. That's assuming your amp isn't damaged. I haven't run a noise suppressor is close to a decade.
I know p90s are noisy but holy fuck
>>128180617If you're running single coils a noise suppressor is ideal, should have mentioned that. If that doesn't fix it you probably need a power conditioner for your amp. If that doesn't fix it I'd sell it all and learn how to play drums.
>>128180174Used all three, enjoyed all 3.Just got some Rotosound British steels because they’re half the price of Elixir/D’addario/etc coated strings and being pure stainless steel they should last as long. Also I’m less than hours drive from the factory so it’s kind of supporting my local business.Stainless steel strings? Good or shit?
>>128178837On the gen IIs they went from a 14” to a 12” radius which is about as flat as I like, but they’ve still got jumbo frets. A local shop just started carrying Yamaha guitars and when they get a gen II in I want to check it out. I just like 7.25” and 9.5” the most and I like smaller fret wire
>>128180652Used to use roto yellows cause of Guthrie and it came with a free high E string. Haven't tried that one before, you can A/B test it with the regular roto yellows. IIRC it's just the wrap around the wound strings that are made as steel vs a nickel alloy on regular strings, all the core strings and plain strings are steel. My prediction is that it would sound as if the pickups were hotter/brighter compared to nickel ones due to having more magnetic material for the pickup.
I always go pretty hard with bass practice for a couple weeks then stop for a month to practice other shit so by the time I'm back I have to regrow my callouses again
>>128178534Thank you. Scene one was introducing the Sweetwater Rep. A dark man. A hard man. He roams the hinterland searching for what was always his. A man with a singular truth... Customer service is non negotiable... Scene two introduces a young, innocent, Gary Greaser. Gulfport Mississippi. 1945. At his mother's kitchen table alone, staring at the light moving on the wall. A knock on the door startled him out of his trance. The military chaplain tells Gary his old man didn't make it back from WW2. In a daze he walks down mainstreet. He passed a no name resonator in the music shop window. Young Gary Greaser knew the future was calling, but didn't know how...
>>128181017Gary holding his resonator for the first time. At the crossroads of time.
>>128180617my p90's arent that noisey?
>>128171853If you want to learn useful theory, the other anon is right. You want to know how chords are made, how scales work, what chord changes are. Your ear tells you what sounds good or bad, theory just tells you what is happening when things sound that way. It can also take some of the guesswork out of improvising, sort of like a co-driver in really racing. Every chord change is a turn, and if you know what's coming ahead of time you can plan accordingly instead of having to react to everything like you're seeing it for the first time
Lads what bass should I buy for less than 800? I currently use sampled instruments or synths for my bass tracks and I want to do that anymore, so I'm buying an actual bass. The plan is to plug straight into an audio interface, so.. no amp to care about. I don't know anything about pick-ups.. but I was looking at Music Man basses, or an Ibanez SR500E(?) because they're supposed to be comfortable to play. Pls help
>>128181551Yamaha or Sterling, I’d lean Yamaha.
need them ernie balls
>>128181551Squier Bass VI
>>128176712>15 minutes of reading practice >15 minutes of ear training >30-45 minutes of bass tabsI need to do more reading and ear practice >>128181551I have a fender p bass. It's nice.
pee bass lol
>>128181730lele
>>128181551go to your local guitar shop and try a bunch of basses
>>128180137Real niggas use schaller
fingerstyle on an electric guitar kind of hard, man. i can't manage to play with good tone.
>>128181551Biggest decision is type of bass.4 string or 5? Jazz or precision?(I think precision is more popular for recording)Once you’ve decided on those 2 you’re not going to go wrong with a Yamaha/Schecter/Fender. I’ve only had sterling guitars not basses but they’ve all had the worst fretwork I’ve experienced. I honestly think for anyone that’s not sure what they’re buying, Yamaha gives best value for money and Fender retains value best.
>>128181896I use the skin of my fingers instead of my nails when playing with fingers on an electric, and it’s always a lot quieter than when using a pick. When going back and forth between fingers and pick or when hybrid picking I use a compressor pedal to bring the quiet finger parts up and the louder pick parts down so it’s all on the same level. I played with fingers nearly exclusively for a dozen years or so before getting back to using a pick and a compressor is what I’ve found works best, maybe an eq pedal to bring up the finger parts but turned off with a pick
Can you play this cleanly
>>128182214Yes
>>128182243I can almost do it but my brain keeps farting
>>128170918>Local pawn shop finally got a harley benton 15w tube amp in as a trade>Store owner only arked it for 270$ instead of 420-something like used tube amps go for at guitar center>Sounds great, great clean, pushed, clipped tones>Was saving up for a spark 2 So do I pull the nigger on this tube amp and pour 1000$ into pedals down the road, or get the spark 2 and pray whatever version of bias they're using has decent tube emulation? I heard bias is better than amplitube but I don't fuck around with the desktop modelers at all.
>>128182214That's like some generic black metal riff. Add a ton of distortion and some reverb and nobody will notice if you fuck it up.
>>128182299it’s a tough call desu
>>128179849I just saw one of those blackstars this week. I noticed it only has 3 nobs, does it have any voicings or is it app controlled?
>>128182310They will notice it at 100 bpm
>>128182209I never play with nails. My technique is pretty rough so I either pluck the string too hard, and they"pop," or I try to sweep the string with the tip of my finger and hit the he strings around it. Right now I'm working on arpeggiating.

>>128182670>>128182299get the spark i got one of them spark minis and i liked it (dad stole it to use as a Bluetooth speaker though lol)
>>128182299>270$?
i gotta look at the wiring of the jstrat something funny is going on herethe bridge is super noisy but the neck isnt, also i cant get out of my head that the pickups sound like single coils even thought theyre humbuckers
>>128183034In the u.s. market, monoprice sells it for abt 330, big box stores ALWAYS mark them up to 400$+ just because they're tubes and ignore the manufacturer or amazon pricing because "muh tubes".
>>128182688>dad stole itbased
>>128182299if you're adamant on tube toanz and feels get the 15w, since you already tried it and liked it.if you just wanted a small quiet practice amp the spark.don't expect the tubeemulation or bias w/e to feel like the former. soundwise, anything is possible with piracy and an interface if you fukc around with your desktop.If it was my money based on my experience, I'd get the 15W, save up for a speaker cab extension, maybe a not too expensive multifx unit to push the amp and/or use effects with it. The latter 2 might be within 1000$I'm not a boomer tube purist btw, started with cheap solid states + multifx/modeller then to tubes amps, then the tubes + 4cm quad cortex for fucking with tones and recordingsThe last step in the signal chain affects a lot of the tone and feel in the room - the speaker. A cheap Laney cub 12 through a V30 speaker sounds nice. A 1500$ quad cortex through generic tv speakers/sony mdr basic bitch headphones sounds ass. 4CM it with a combo it's breddy gud.If you could try the spark and compare it to your harley benton experience that would be the best.
tubes
>>128183208That's odd you mention the laney because the S15 is allegedly a straight cub 12 clone. And yeah that's my issue, I want to get into 80s/synthwave tones which the spark allows, I already have a katana but the response/clipping and crunch on the SR15 just blew it out of the water, and the katana is supposed to be one of the "better" SS amps with tube logic and an analog power section.
>>128179849>now nobody can hear my wrong tabs
>>128183089You bought it new? Squier problems I guess.
>>128183519its a USA mod shop from liek 2 years ago
the bridge pickup noise is because of my phone in my pocket loli don’t like how sensitive it is to EMF interference desu, really need to change the pups as they sound like single coils to my brain
>>128183470Waw what a coincidence. The Cub12 was my first toob amp and used it for years, comes with it's 10 inch speaker. In hindsight I think it did good for my playing, the dynamic response is different from what I was used to before (SS + zoom multifx modeller). I got tired of it eventually and moved on to a more modern gained combo amp, but rediscovered I still like it when I used the laney as the amp and the new toob combo as a speaker extension.Doesn't the katana have a USB to connect to the PC to use as your interface? You can still get those other 80's and synth tones with a DAW and VST's. Or those cheap valeton/tonex things.If it's going to be your first boomer tech amp I still recommend it, it might improve your "touch" as well. But I can only speak from my limited experience, use case and end goal is what matters. I'm just an anonymous ni/gg/er on the internet lol.
>>128182299152 after 17% coupon applied. Practically the same amp only 5w. If this is for practice this is more than enough.https://a.co/d/6FAIeLHhttps://youtu.be/63lh8CchnaQ
>>128184095The old SR5s used to be abt 125$ and now they're going for 250$ or 300$ at guitar center for God know's what reason. If I'm going to pop anything for a tube amp, I'd just get the 15w since allegedly a 15w tube can do anything.>>128183909Yeah I fuarked up and got the katana mini x that does *not* have the tone studio and I"m still kicking myself. Super handy with the built in battery and not bad but only the reverb/delay/chorus effects are worth any salt. Wouldn't have brown sound natively on the tube amp but that's fixed with a screamer.
What strings do you use, anon?
>>128184155stringjoy
>>128184155Martin monels, 12 gauge. I don’t mind 13s but there’s so little difference between the two I might as well take the lower tension for the reduced stress on the guitar
>>128184155daddario xs we really live in a reality where 20 dollar packs of strings are a thing jej
>>128184155Green
>>128184232i like 12s tuned full step down gives it a really deep voice with a slinky, pseudo electric play feel
>>128184155Ernie Ball 11-52. The red ones.I usually go for 10s but these work well on my Jaguar.
I want to play bass in a band so bad god DAMN
>>12818415510s because .9s are for bitches and break and daddy daddario gives me free picks in every 3-pack
>>128184309>.10 > .13 > .17 > 26 > 36 > 46I am no metallurgical master, but if the guitar is basically tuned to 5ths, wouldn't it make more sense to have each string width decrease be the same, or more normalized?
I'm definitely returning the squire tomorrow. I might return the music man tonight. I dont really see myself playing 5 string bass regularly since I'm not doing the banjo string thing.
>>128184309My Ibanez came with .9s and they're yet to break after 4 months of daily playing, not a fan of how easy it is to make the pitch change with normal fretting but I really can't be fucked readjusting the trem for higher gauge strings.
>>128184369live and learn
>>128184380>Strings lasting longer than 2 monthsI just know your strings are blacker than chicago's crime problem at this point.
>>128184382Yeah Im lucky I didn't lose anything besides time and some gas in my car. I was thinking maybe I'll just swap the music man for another bass but I don't really need more than 1 bass.
>>128184382hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Bros I think I'm gonna get an electronic drum kit instead of a new guitar. I wanna start recording music soon and the only way I can really do drum tracks is with a keyboard but doing it that way is boring and rather annoying. Having an actual kit on hand I can bang on seems like a far more intuitive and frankly far more fun way to do it. I've been looking around a little and the Millenium mps-850 seems like the best bang for the money so I'm probably gonna go for that one.
>>128184395You know nothing
>>128184500They’re fun and you can play drums too instead of just writing them. Idk how good those are tho. My dad has a Roland v drum set and it’s breddy gud. I wish I had one cause I grew up playing and enjoy drums and would like to be able to write and record my own drum parts for my songs as well. Maybe some day
>>128184500i had the yamaha spd multi pad, thing was awesome and plan on getting another one at some point i think Roland has a newer one out with more functionality but the yamaha one is amazing and just werks
>>128182148I heard the 5th string on a 5 string requires you to work a little harder to keep it from ringing out, not sure if it's actually a pain to manage, or if people just like to complain. I definitely see myself wanting more range without having to tune down though. As far as Jazz or P bass goes, no idea. I like funk, fusion, jazz, and sometimes metal. I'd like a sound that can comfortably mix into a band without needing major postprocessing >>128181769Just to get a feel for different necks and stuff? One thing I hate is sticky feeling necks so I guess I should check that. Sound doesn't matter if I hate playing it>>1281816286 strings might be a bit much anon>>128181676I see the fender p bass recommended frequently.>>128181570Are Yamahas good? I don't often see people talking about them
>>128184872i will recommend a jbass
>>128184813Yeah I've always wanted to play drums but never got the chance and this might be the best way to do it. Plus writing drum tracks wouldn't feel like making a glorified metronome. I won't be getting them for a while so I'll keep an eye out on what's good to get but hopefully I'll have a kit in front of me sometime soon. >>128184866I was thinking of getting something like that before, seemed like a good way to do drums but in the end, I'd much rather get a proper kit, even if electronic. Just seems more fun that way.
>>128184917the yamaha multipad has jacks for a kick pedal and hat so you can make a micro trap kit out of it
dtx multi 12 not spd its a really cool piece of kitthe pads are super sensitive but never ghost or anything like that, so you can play hand drums and congas and shit with iti loved mine dearly, thought for years about getting another one just never got around to it
>>128184872I would say get a 4 string first then see if you really need the 5th string. I just went down that same pipeline and found 4 string to be better for me
Hey guys, been a while. Just dropping in to let you all know that I still love my custom bass
>>128184260I know Billy strings tunes half step down and capos. I might have to try that
>>128184941>>128184990Yeah I figure it should but I'd still go for a kit instead. Truth be told I'd much rather get an acoustic kit but I don't got the space for it nor do I wanna be a nuisance to the neighbours. E drums seem like the best and most fun option to learn and record to me.
>>128184872get a pj bass. People will stick respect you for having a p bass but you don’t have to deal with the shitty body design or shitty neck pickup of the jazz bass
>>128185209fair enou, thats just the one i have experience with
>>128185123I can’t even tell what brand that is, all the boutique basses look the fucking same. what is this one?
>>128185123she cute>>128185328silence, swine
Are $5k custom instruments rock and roll? I think not.
>>128185325Yeah, thanks for the suggestion regardless, and glad it worked well for you!
your most expensive guitar?your cheapest?
>>128185123>25 fret bass>Frets after 14 like newbut no seriously why not just get a fender VI at that point
picked up my beat up pacifica today to record some bullshit, only to find the volume knob busted and neck warped. had to get back to my trusty $100 squire mustang
I think I'll swap the 5 string for something else in store. Im wonder if a bass with different pickups will handle my distortion setup better than the fender. Not that the fender is bad at all but I dont know if a p bass is right for super distorted stuff.
>>128185543$3500$300
>>128185123cant lie bro thats one ugly lump of shit, but you do you homiebro
>>128185543Price at purchase vs current market349$ (600$)647$ (1,050$)
>>128185682thats not at all how the used market works so ima need actual models B
>>128185724I ain't guitar doxxing but that's litrully from current reverb/egay prices homeslice
>>128185543i guess the baritone SG is my most expensive considering it goes for about 2500 used on reverb cheapest is my lil ibanez mikro whos chink hardware has rusted to complete dust
>>128185543$7500$1000
>>128185749>guitars doxxing the schizo has been seemingly medicated for some months now you should be fine
>>128170918>Single coil pickups on average read at 4.4-6.6k >Coil split my humbucker>Get a reading of 4.8k>Sounds fine, just need to bump the volume to adjust for the now weaker pickup signalIs there a reason why weenies hate coil splits so much? Why not have extra versatility with your geetar
>>128185932Coil splits basically never sound like a strat
>>128185932It’s not that I dislike coil splits it’s that I dislike how humbuckers sound while clean, and since 80% of my playing is clean I don’t see the point in a coil split humbucker when I’d be using it in single coil mode all the time instead of just using single coils I already know and love
>>128185932that’s not how Les Paul Gibson did it in the 1950s
>>128182468sounds like Ted nugant on crack
>>128185974I have coil splits on two of my guitars and I literally never use them.
>>128184917I know the only ones I like the feel of are the v drums so maybe it’s good to go test them out in person first. You should be able to find some used on marketplace for around a thousand.
>>128180617Was your house built in 1880?
>>128185974My coil splits sound close enough on my charvel to pass. It’s not something I’d use in a studio but for live gigs it’s fine
>>128185932I'm not high IQ enough to understand why it's not the same, but my ears can tell. It's usable in a pinch though.

How do I get that Anderton's tone?
>>128186417As nice as those sound, that's way out of my budget. 500-600 is the most I can go and I wouldn't go used for various reasons, plus the used market in my part of the world is as dry as the desert. This Millenium seems pretty decent, the reviews are solid and it's got a lot of features you don't get in that price range so unless I find something better for that price, I'm most likely gonna go for it.

>>128186519Wish Rics weren’t butt fucking ugly
