The Strat and J Bass are all you'll ever need, can I get an amen?
>>128273293no, the amen break is overused at this point imo
>>128273288I don't get it
>>128273293More like Tele and P Bass
1st 4 never shittin/gg/ cum#IntactBlackCherry
I've been trying to compose punk songs for two guitars... but in the end the lead guitar is just playing solos and does nothing in the rest of the song.How can I make that second guitar more interesting? I can't come up with something complementary, it's either both guitars play the same thing in verse/chorus or one guitar waits for a solo to exist.
>>128273340Bloody cum
>>128273388Ew!
>>128273378you have them both play the same thing, duhideally you'd have three guitars doing the same thing and no solos
>>128273397Cumshitter amirite jej in that case it also includes specks of doodoo
>>128273378Best punk is guitar-bass-drums i'm afraid
>>128273378Everything I know about this I got from Verlaine and Lloyd.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puIM6LkKLpI
>>128273486Right, but my friend also plays guitar and would like to join.
Fuck you guitar center, dont call me. That is why i stopped using sweetwater.
>>128273508Favorite record of all time Tom does a lot of cool layered guitar parts on a ton of his stuffhttps://youtu.be/UI83HkmIFcE
>>128273378>How can I make that second guitar more interestingYou don't, its punk therefore the riff is the only that matters. If it's boring, its a riff problem, not a "i need more" problem.
>>128273265I didn’t rush him. I said hi I’d like to buy x guitar and he said ok then sent me a receipt for y guitar. When I called back and said y guitar is not what I ordered he said ok I cancelled the order instead of asking me if I wanted to use store credit to buy something I want. I asked if I could talk to a supervisor and he transferred me to a store instead of a supervisor. Now I have to wait 3-7 business days for the money to get back on my account so I can order from sweetwater. It doesn’t really matter anymore I’m just done with guitar center. They sell shit guitars, their stores are ass, they don’t inspect or set anything up. They don’t take pictures or weights of the guitars they have in stock. Their employees are always grumpy and pissed off about commissions and get an attitude if you don’t buy their little warranty. The only reason I still buy from them is you can return bad gear in store, but it’s not worth it to me anymore. I’d rather deal with the hassle of having to ship something back. My local gc’s don’t even carry any guitars I want to buy except Les Paul’s, and 90% of the shit they have on the floor is unplayable.
>>128273522>he actually hates those mysterious late night handjobs from his sweetwater rep breaking in his house
>>128273378https://youtu.be/rXBVEn3t-a8?si=ftsLayXMK3nkhf_b
>>128273603Sounds like a you problem.
>punk with anything more than just one guitar, bass, drums, and vocalshttps://youtu.be/ZPjSV-lnqvg
>>128273618I'll dig into the "counter melody" thing, thanks.
>>128273635How is me saying hi I’d like to order a McCarty 594 se single cut in charcoal burst and then getting a receipt for a tremonti se 24 with a trem my fault?
>>128273707why not check the receipt
>>128273684
>>128273697Watch all his videos he’s a punk rock producer and has a ton of interesting ideas to make those types of songs better. But I would definitely start with some kind of counter melody with octaves or a droning octave. With that kind of music it just werkz. A good example would be like anthem by good charlotte or Anthem (part 2) by blink 182. Heck even anthem by blink 182 is a good example. While you’re at it listen to anthem part 3 by blink 182.
>>128273735I ordered it over the phone because they were out of stock on the website and he said he had one in a store he could ship to me so I said ok here’s my card. I didn’t get the receipt until it was emailed. But I definitely said McCarty 594 se single cut 4 times during the call. And he ordered a tremonti signature. His microphone was also completely fucked like it was half way down his throat and I had to tell him multiple times that I couldn’t understand him.
>>128273744For me it’s the bring me the horizon version of anthem.
>>128273513In that case do what Adolescents does
>>128273766>ordering over the phone from guitar center BRO
>>128273941>he hasn't realized that bloganon is an elaborate troll yet
>>128273766>couldn't understand him>he probably couldn't understand you>building full of idiots banging on drums and playing minor pentatonic licks>"McCarty 594 se">"Tremonti se 24/mark tremonti/mccarty"honestly i can see how he made this mistake. prs are gay anyway he saved you some disappointment and bullying
>>128273946You caught me
>>128274002>he saved you some disappointment and bullyingbased retard GC rep.
>>128274002It was the distribution center customer service number
>>128273378I don't know what punk means. Do you play chords? You can divide the notes of the chords between the two guitars to give them more harmonic clarity. If you're playing melodic things, you can double them in different octaves, or harmonize the melody

>>128273293imagine having a bridge pickup and still getting left behind at the dance for the p bass. big L
I think we should give the guitar center prs guy a break he’s had a rough day. I can’t remember who he is though I think he’s different from the Chevy Charvelier exhaust guy
>>128273946I think it’s a bot being tested. he literally double posted 3 paragraphs verbatim within 20 minutes of eachother the other day
>>128274216My first guitar was a GRB Kokocaster, then an Epiphone ES-335 Pro, then a Japanese Fender Jaguar, then a Mexican Fender Duo-Sonic, then I traded the Jaguar for an American Strat with 3 single coil sized humbuckers added, but it came with the original 3 pickups. I put 2 of its single coils in my friend's squier, with the JB for his bridge. My strat was then turned HSH, and I sold it. Later I traded the Duo-Sonic for a chorus pedal and some cash, and I bought an Epiphone Wilshire Pro. After getting really used to it, my sights landed on the dot inlay Gibson Les Paul Studio Tribute. I saved and sold things until I could afford the Les. Then I bought a Fender Player Telecaster. I smashed the Tele, smashed the Les Paul, tossed them outside. I gave the Kokocaster to my brother's ex girlfriend, and the ES-335 Pro was lent to someone,who left it with someone, who lost it to flooding. I also bought a Squier Jaguar which I sold for 150% what I spent a month after getting it. I also bought 3 Kramer Baretta Specials... smashed 2 and left 1 on the sidewalk with some kids when my parents kicked me out of their house. The last guitar I bought was a white Fender Player Telecaster that I sold to a pawn shop to quickly send money to my girlfriend (at the time).The Jaguar sounded best (through a '65 Princeton Reverb) but the ES-335 Pro was the most comfortable to play. I only had a VOX AC4C1-BL with the ES-335.That's about it... other than an Epiphone Strat copy at one point.
>>128274216Same as they ever was minus a Mustang and a Revstar
>>128274728
>>128274761Yeah well, that's just how it is.

Anyone tried the Harley Benton LP copies? I want to get a guitar after a 15 year break from playing and want something affordable but still nice.Torn between the SC 550 II plus and SC custom plus (both woth emg mics). I like the mics more on the 550, but the custom is supposedly slimmer and more ergonomic to play. It also costs 80 eurobucks more and new mics would be 200e on top of that, which would make it almost twice as expensive in the long run.I used to play a crappy Alexi Laiho LTD from 2006 byt the floyd is broken and it's also pretty awkard to use because of the V shape. I want something more flexible for both lighter and heavier prog rock and metal.Thinking of pairing it with the HB 15 watt tube amp and possibly getting a klon clone and a fuzz pedal down the line.
Gc corporate called finally and issued a 150 dollar credit to my account after reviewing the phone call and said they’d give me 20% off whatever new guitar I end up going with as well as ship it overnight when I get the money back in my account.
>>128275281i've played a HB flying v which was real good all things considered
>>128274731It’s a shame they don’t have any good colors in the current revstar lineup. The only one I like is the midnight blue and that’s a Japanese exclusive.
>>128275550This one is also nice but again a Japanese exclusive pro model.
>>128275481based. keep your foot on that gas, you’re going places
>>128275498Is it true that HB's feel and play like something twice as expensive?
>>128275906Yeah. Think I’m going to cave and get another Revstar. I didn’t realize the new ones have satin necks, are chambered and have redesigned pickups with a boost switch. Debating which color between vintage white and black but leaning toward black.
>>128276018I sure hope so, because they look like something half as expensive.
>>128276018>twice as expensive>600 dollars I wasn’t aware you could buy a decent shitplank for even 600 dollars.
>>128276018all i can say it looked good, felt good, played good, sounded goodthere were some minor things to nitpick but for that price that guitar was amazing
>>128276059Those models cost around 500 dollars tho.
>>128275550They just announced new colors a few days ago. Mine was black with cream P90s and that’s the best looking one IMO, but the new white one looks good. I’m still after a humbucker guitar to go with my Super Sonic and I’d like to try out a gen 2 Revstar with humbuckers. A local shop should be getting some in in the next month or so and I’m excited to check one out. I liked my gen 1 a lot but didn’t like how flat the fretboard was or the jumbo frets, the gen 2s have a 12” radius which is as flat as I’ll go but still have jumbo frets so idk if I’ll click with it
>>128275481Hey that’s not bad. GC still sucks but at least they’re going to give you a bit of a deal on what you actually want. You’re basically getting a discount in exchange for a little bit of a longer wait, but that might even out with overnight shipping
>>128276018probably operating at cost until they can establish a foothold in the market and then start cutting costs immediately like Eastman
>>128276222They're the in-house brand of europes largest music store Thomann, so they sell them straight from the factory and don't pay middlemen. Also they don't advertise at all, which cuts costs.
Harley Benton is a cringe ass brand I don't care how 'nice' they are, if I saw someone playing a harley benton I'd grab them by the collar of their shirt, slam them up against the lockers and get in their face
>>128276247>they don't advertise at all
>>128276143What are the new colors? Are they the ones on gc right now? The new ones sound really good and I liked the old one I had. The boost switch is interesting, might be cool for crunchy cleans and solos. It’s an interesting guitar that doesn’t look cheap or have a bad reputation. I also like that they have satin necks now. It was my safe option if I couldn’t decide on anything else. >>128276164For sure I’m happy with the result, still not buying anything from gc after this though.
>>128276257Same. Gay ass name to boot. Reminds me of that capeshit slut.
>>128276311I’ve only ever bought used gear from GC. People trade stuff in and sometimes GC doesn’t know how to price it and deals can be had
>>128276257don't be silly
>>128276362The fire red is my favorite it’s too bad they don’t make it in the humbucker model. Talk me into the vintage white.
>>128276362This color is gorgeous, but I should not buy a p90 guitar right now.
>>128276278I'm just quoting elmo. https://youtu.be/sgwUh-hjLAUBut I'm sure everyone talking about them on the internet is a Thomann bot :^)Also I couldn't care less what unemployed neets think about brand images (not giving (yous)). Kinda seems desperate to be honest. I never take advice from brand loyalists seriously, be it Apple, Intel, or guitars. I just want the best guitar I can get for under 500 euros.
>>128276413I’m just not a fan of the HB covers with any of these colors. I like the balance of the cream P90s with the tailpiece
>>128276488Black looks the best in HB imo. The brushed nickel hardware contrasts nicely.
>>128276488I used to have this Revstar and I was a little bummed about setting for another one instead of an LP but then I realized they ditched the garbage bridge they had for a tune-o-matic, redesigned the pickups, chambered the body for better resonance, put a satin finish on the neck, added the boost switch, graphite reinforced the neck and added block inlays. Now I’m excited to get my hands on one.
>>128276558It’s a little too much black for me. I’d want to do like what this guy did with the cream pickguard and either zebra HBs or just matching cream
I don’t regret trading the Revstar off because it was redundant between it, my Fano, and my LP Special but at the same time it was a really nice guitar. It’s just specs that I didn’t prefer, and that’s just personal preference and not the guitar’s fault. It looked great, sounded great, and played great. If there was one with a 10” radius and more medium frets I’d be super tempted to get another, especially a humbucker oneLOOK GUYS IM POSTING AN OLD PHOTO AGAIN
>>128276665https://pickguardheaven.com/product/pg-51508-yamaha-revstar-standard-rss20-hh-2/This guy does them in a ton of colors. Brushed gold or brushed stainless could be interesting. He does a cream black cream 3 ply. Brushed stainless might work and match the pinstripes if it’s dark enough. Gold would counter the entire theme of the guitar but it could look really cool as well. They’ve done a bronze pick guard on black before.
>>128276751I prefer 12 inch radius and jumbo frets that must be why I liked my revstar so much. What I didn’t like was the pot metal wraparound bridge and ugly hardware. I think the new ones are enough of an improvement that it could solve all the gripes I had with mine.
>>128276633they made the body bigger, they made it join at the neck higherbig inlays = less tonewood more plasticchambered = less tonewood, able to make guitars with scrap from porta potty palletslet it not be forgotten that the Revstar hype, everything good you've heard is because the original ones, NOT the redesign "revstars"
>>128276972revstars have 14 inch radius
>>128273378counterpoint, harmony (polyphony), octaves, unison, there's a million things you can do bro just think about it for a moment no offense
>>128277023The engineered the chambers to increase sustain and acoustics. The inlay thing has to be a shitpost. I forgot they have stainless frets too. >>128277050
>>128273513get him to double up on the guitar riffs, you could ornament the tail end of a riff with a harmony or play the second or third pass of a riff with a full harmony, can add texture and depth to the song by playing clean arpeggios or single note melodies hanging just under the riff, etc
>>128277023Yamaha doesn’t seem like the type of company to exaggerate why they engineered something the way they did
>>128277050Gen 1s do, gen 2s have a 12”>>128277023I’ve never seen a gen 2 in person but the gen 1s are really great. I’d prefer to buy a gen 1 over a gen 2 but I like the radius of the 2. The gen 1 is heavier but it wasn’t like it was a heavy guitar
>>128277191You're not getting any notable acoustics from that tiny amount of body wood
>>128277414Then why do it? It’s more expensive to chamber the body. It’s not like they’re starting with less material. They say it improves the strength and length of sustain in the strings.
>>128277525People complained about weight
>>128277554Oh. Makes sense
I miss the days of getting guitars before reverb. I missed the thrill of guitar shopping from town to town and coming across a guitar you’ve been interested in but in a finish you’d never even consider, but getting it because it played well. There was something special about finding something while on the hunt vs just buying whatever you want shipped to your door on reverb.
>>128277414you would know a lot about tiny wood
>>128277674there’s no such thing as playing well besides having different string spacing, scale length, and neck carve but those are all quantifiable specs. any guitar can be set up to play well except a mustang or jazzmaster
>>128275281I'd buy some of their models but the LP clones are horrendous looking
>>128277674The biggest problem with reverb is it fixes the prices on the used market and people sit on shit for way too long instead of selling it for what it’s actually worth. Which reminds me the other day this boomer tried to sell me vintera II tele for 800, I went on reverb and saw they’d sold for an average of 600. I offered him 650, and he goes nope buy it on reverb then. I know what I got boomers are the worst.
>>128277783Harley Benton sounds like it’s named after a homosexual.
>>128277960fittingthat's who they're marketed towards
>>128277674I've found way more cool stuff on reverb than off, just scroll for a while and see what you see. Most of the stuff I see in person is metalshit or old beginner guitars not worth messing with.
Before I spend my money on a bunch of pedals what should I learn technically if I want to play shoegaze
>>128277914>boomers are the worstCould have stoped there
>>128277727>any guitar can be set up to play well except a mustang or jazzmastersure thing buddy
>tuneomatic is literally in the wrong place to intonate properly vs. just shimming a jazzmaster neckBoth are possible but ones a way bigger fuckin headache
>breath on trenbolone>mustang goes away from tune Yes no thanks
>>128278270It's a shite trem system even for the 10 seconds it stays in tune, the bar can fall out as you play lmao
>>128278270>behave like deranged chimpanzee with gotoh GE1996T>wanglerbar returns to perfect pitchnothin personnel
>>128277525those holes are where i hide my boner pills
>>128278239>tuneomatic is literally in the wrong place to intonate properlythe mustang intonates just fine. >>128278270just set it up properly, it isn’t hard. it’s a balancing act of bridge height, vibrato height, and vibrato spring placement. when set up right it stays in tune fine, it’s not the guitar’s fault that guitar players are too retarded to set it up and instead just block it off. >>128278317what bar? the vibrato arm? there’s a set screw you use to put tension on it to hold it in place, it only falls off if you don’t tighten it down. mustangs are dumb guitars because of the people who play them, but the slander they get is undeserved. leo fender knew what he was doing by 1965.
>>128278409he fixed the p bass in 1957. everything else was rapidly downhill from there
>>128278317it's not even the worst leo designed
>>128278542geuugh what the fuck
Revstar are okay but I'd rather get a Pacifica all truth be told
>>128278374He'll yeahhttps://youtu.be/vZBXsT-yahc
>>128278579I wouldn’t feel embarrassed to be seen with this. I would with a revstar to be quite honest with you
>>128278579These would be okay without a pickguard, but god damn whoever designed that pickguard needs to be forced through a fine mesh screen
>>128278609You prefer this better?
>>128278409>leo fender knew what he was doing by 1965.He arguably never mastered the tremolo desu, all of them had drawbacks that would be refined by different people later, though the fact that he got so much right with the strat trem early on is impressive. I am glad the mustang exists though because holy shit the og jazzmaster bridges are stupid.
>>128278657Thats a cat
>>128278679the closest he got to a truly great vibrato was with g&l tbdesu. jazzmaster/jaguar bridges are fine if you’re using heavy gauge strings that were the norm back then (12s were considered light), but yes the easiest upgrade is just sticking a mustang bridge on

Can't find the full video, but I think this is a good video to get your mind wrapped around modes. I personally think he is kind of confusing at times, but still see what he's getting at. I think it's a matter of the subject of modes has many instances of people using different words to describe one concept. But he plays what he is talking about and gives good examples.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTv2g7LSyus

>>128280730He used a lot of different guitars in the studio nobody really knows. The tele was used on the stairway solo but he refused to be seen in public with it after his housekeeper repainted over the dragon art. Imagine how different Led Zeppelin would have looked live in that era had page continued to use his tele.
>>128281325I wanted the gotoh. On something. But didn't want to cut into my Strat. I think it's a little bit of modding, but not much. It's a lot better than Fender's stuff though. I'm not a tweedly-scream FR guy, but a little diving is cool. Just wanting something that works better.

>>128281340The Floyd rose 1500s are really nice, push in trem bar and smooth like a Strat trem but still locking. The gotoh is probably good, I just shy away from non locking trems in general. The neck and overall feel is going to be way better than a fender. Does yours have JB/59?
>>128281334Yeah, I watched some little interview of him talking about that. He apparently wanted to kill the guy. lol. He did the art himself, which makes it more of a bummer.

It's kind of shameful of Fender to have all of these MIM Jacksons and Charvels with ebony/compound radius/SDs/better trem systems..and like $1000 cheaper than Ultras.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSzP5zMrWGU
>>128281456They can only charge so muc for a charvel
https://voca.ro/1T9jjwvawfEg
anybody use Orange amps
>>128281484It's good for you and me, I guess. Fender can't be beat on vintage specced stuff though, but I've covered that.This is funny. I found this yesterday. He had a Sunburst Strat like me, but felt like a dipshit in the early shredder scene.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFsJId4B1ZI
>>128281538It would be cool if fender made charvel models with the fender brand name on them. Maybe they will since epiphone is killing it with their inspired by lines. I mean at the end of the day that’s all we want right, fender name and colors.
>>128281567As long as the price doesn't go up...
>>128281576
$2000 for a relic guitar? how about I give you $40 to relick my balls
new guitar arrived!
>>128281576If they’re Mexican I doubt it. Charvels are still more expensive than player models. It would be cool to see charvel spec guitars in the other shapes like jm and star caster. The evh wolfie signature is essentially that. Problem I have with evh guitars is the 1.625 nut width. My hands are large and it’s hard to play finger style arpeggiated open chords when the neck is that narrow. I much prefer charvel necks, in fact they’re my favorite guitar necks period. I think the paranormal series stuff was really cool and they need to bring that back but also focus more on playability rather than just looks. I’d love to see fenders come stock with good humbuckers in them rather than their dogshit Strat pickups. 12-1400 would be the right price range for the upper end of that style, just like the pro mod plus.
>>128281673What'd you get?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOdgGYHJIVc>It's a beauty>It's so good> I hardly ever play itCan we agree vid related is the core audience of gibson (tm) shit planks and that's why nobody under 60 wants to touch those pieces of shit with a 10 foot pole?
>>128281673you the guy that’s gc corporates worst nightmare?
>>128281680No
>>128281680boomers are retarded but a 50 year old Gibson is getting close to that age of needing a neck reset
>>128281674Charvel had the Surfcasters and Skatecasters for awhile. Don't know if they still do.
>>128281680>gibson (tm) shit planksnot a thing, unless you mean epiphone
>>128281692Skatecasters seem to be less flashy and hardtails.
>>128281114thhat looks good do you like it?Looking at the keeley caverns and other switchable reverb/delay pedals just like this atm.
>>128281676
>>128281681No im that guy and im not their worst nightmare i buy a ton of gear. Dude on the other line was unprofessional, if he wasn’t they wouldn’t have credited my account after listening to the call. The transaction is still pending on my account and the bank says it could take 7-10 days to fall off.
>>128281703I love it, but I haven't really tapped into it fully yet. At least the Delay side. I mostly use the Hall.
>>128281710it was a compliment meaning you’re not gonna take no guff. ya got moxie. not you’re a piece of shit
>>128281696It’s alright but I’d prefer JM or starcaster body depending on if solid or hollow and a Strat headstock. The only headstocks I enjoy are Strat, tele, and open book Gibson. Hockey stick is tolerable. Simple as.
If I wanted surfy Charvel, I'd just get this. I can't be the only one who thinks it's cool.
>>128281719Oh right on. Yeah idk. Btw their pre Black Friday sale is shit. Only guitars they have discounted are low end beginner stuff. I want high end discounts like LP standards sub 2000 dollars. I know they’re going to do it but it probably won’t be until closer to or after Christmas like last year.
>>128281739Cool it with the antisemitism
>>128281751rip. my sweetwater guy told me fender is trying to really move stock atm so they can discount it pretty heavily
>>128281774at least that was on my American vintage II P bass. maybe it’s just the mia stuff idk
>>128281751none of the big places have black friday sales worth half a shit anyway>here's 5% off some shit we haven't been able to move in the last 11 monthsno thanks
>>128281774Sweetwater now has all the high end epiphones 200 off. Some of the Gibson stuff is discounted heavily. The PRS S2’s are 400 off. I think what I’m going to do is save my guitar center credit and put it toward a replacement 212 powercab. I will order the guitar through sweetwater. An S2 McCarty single cut is looking very appealing atm since you now get USA pickups and electronics. Only major difference would be no violin cut as far as I’m aware.
>>128281782What color did you get?
I've had some mega deals from big box stores. Yamaha Pacifica Tele HH for 99, squier affinity p bass with rosewood fretboard for 89, gibson melody maker special 299, back in the day before obama
So the difference is you don’t get locking tuners and the neck is 3 piece with a scarf joint as well as the lack of a violin cut, but everything else is the same as a core and it has a nitro finish. For 2000 (possibly less if I can talk them into discounting more) that’s a hell of a value considering an equivalent Les Paul would run me a thousand dollars more. https://prsguitars.com/electrics/model/s2_mccarty_594_2025
internet btfohttps://youtu.be/7pkAP8HqjMQ
>>128281859They always discount beginner gear as loss leaders to secure brand loyalty early on. And they lose a lot less money discounting a 500 dollar guitar 20% vs a 3000 dollar guitar. I wish guitar stores cared about intermediate and pro musicians as much as they care about selling as many cheap shitplanks as they can.
>>128281906>bullshitI'm not listening to anything except my own ears.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7k_A8GhN0L8
>>128281906my butt is fartin'
>>128281925I can definitely hear the difference between maple and rosewood necks. Maple is always snappier. If that doesn’t prove tonewood is real I don’t know what does.
>>128281932
>>128281857I was going to go with Daphne blue because they had open box but my guy got me the 3 color burst for open box price. I like both but was too lazy to change the pickguard on the blue one. going to pair it with a darkglass dg112a
>>128281932I can't hear it. I'd just go with which one looks cool with the body.If it's up to me, I prefer the look of ebony the most and it's low maintenance.
I’m this close to buying a Rat
All I know is that every guitar I ever played that wasn't a Gibson made me feel embarrassed for the people who thought they were guitar makers. You know when you pick up a guitar and it's absolute shit lol? Imagine being the person responsible for a shit instrument fr. Couldn't be me. Play authentic. Play GIBSON.
>>128282010are you a guitarist or a salesman.
>>128282000>I'm so close to spending $11
>>128281981I’m not trying to be a jerk but not everyone has ears that can hear subtle nuances in tone. Go watch those YouTube shorts where they demo 4 different guitars with different pickups playing the same riff and read how many comments say they all sound the same. I like maple and ebony and I’m just neutral on rosewood because it’s very neutral sounding to my ears. Ebony is a bit warmer and I love how slick it feels.
>>128282021>I’m not trying to be a jerk but not everyone has ears that can hear subtle nuances in tone.Maybe you're right. Eddie himself would get all picky about about even guitar cabs and said plywood ruined his tone.I just can't hear any of it myself.
>>128282021I hear small inflections but in most cases it’s nothing that can’t be attributed to pickup height or string difference or be EQd by even a basic amp
>>128282035wait, maybe he said particle board. He said this when Peavey was first building his amps.
>>128282021Correct, you included. Sorry you had to find out this way.
>>128282021Maybe I mean to say darker tone with ebony vs warmer. Ebony is still snappy it just doesn’t sound as bright or chimey as a maple. And then rosewood is just middle of the road kind of flat sounding.
>>128282037even pick material, thickness, and how much of it contacts the string changes tone so asking someone to play the same guitar the exact same way twice is impossible. considering that’s the amount of variations we are talking about between sampling pickups I just learned that pickups don’t matter at all (given they’re the same family) and just put that money towards a better amp. I’ve seen bridge upgrades give you better natural harmonics but a good set of tuners is literally all you need on a shitplank
Go Glarry or go home.
>>128282066pickups matter a ton, especially a single coil. if anything, there are just many more variations of them.
>>128282035I mean nobody has ever recreated the exact tone from Van Halen I. Much of that is in his fingers but a lot of it is just how anal he was about everything in his signal chain. He knew what he wanted to hear and made it happen.
>>128282076I don't like the name. Reminds me of Engrish (maybe it is?). Nonsensical words and phrases, but don't quite sound right. WTF is "Glarry". I know Gary and Larry, but not fucking Glarry.
>>128282015Who cares
>>128282078I don’t think they do when played through a good amp, at least I don’t think they constitute a $200 difference
>>128282020Actually they are priced around 90 here
>>128282101I think a lot of people do. You're shitting on 80% of rock...or hell, all music.. They weren't all Gibsons.
>>128282101He does for some reason, silly. Like, what kind of question is that? Pretty weird.
https://voca.ro/1l5zOfqjgx7O
>>128276751I love Super-sonics! Such quirky guitars and very playable.
What is it about this general that attracts namefagging schizos
I wish I just used the Pacifica my parents got me forever instead of getting brainwashed into a consumer bugman by guitar magazines
https://voca.ro/12f9fbVwy9Ad
>>128282078yeah right upgrading your pickups is the stupidest and gayest nothingburger of all time. just use the EQ on your amp
https://voca.ro/14Obn3jlNhpe
>>128282194True with most humbuckers. You'll hear the difference in hotter pups, but not much in character. But single coils are all built so differently. There's no EQ that will turn your Strat pups into goldfoils or P90s or Gretch stuff. No phase setting that will make it sound like a JM's phasing.
I have no idea why Yamaha continues to put one of the ugliest headstocks in the universe on their 1200 dollar pacificas. Literally anything else would look better.
>>128282221bro you might as well be comparing single coils to humbuckers
>>128282271What's wrong with it?
the relative minor is always the 6th and the relative major is always the minor 3rdcool I learned that in 45 seconds and no longer have to devote any brainpower to it
>>128282284Too long, narrow, and undefined. It doesn’t match the sharp modern body. The Revstar headstock would look better, or something smaller and closer to a suhr / schecter / Ltd style Strat headstock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcnIhzaDTd0
>>128282299I guess I see what you're saying...but I've seen so much worse.I don't have any Yamahas, but they're pretty cool. The guitars, that is. Some of the basses aren't my thing.
>man that headstock is ugly>posts an even uglier headstock being poor really does a number on a niggas standards
>>128282336You would have to be mentally defective to think this is uglier than the Pacifica headstock. The least they could do is paint or stain it.
>>128282349guess it makes sense to have a coat hanger headstock on an abortion of a guitar
>>128282361oh DAMN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU35oCHGhJ0
>>128282361Ok well all headstocks that aren’t fender or Gibson suck so it’s picking the least worst ones.
>>128282366-----> >>128281326
>>128282373fair point
how can this headstock look so good on an acoustic but so terrible on an electric
>>128282397basic outline looks cool on Travis Beans. maybe the whole thing could be pulled off, but not a Strat.
>>128282387Also I think they used to look better but probably got a cease and desist from fender. That’s the problem with fender and Gibson. They threaten to sue everyone until all that’s left are ugly abortions of guitars.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_56ep729TE
>>128282404well maybe the gooks should invent their own designs
>>128282271 this looks way better than >>128282299get some taste
sorry for shitty rough sketch but I’ve had the idea that if we could make tuners with varying stem lengths to fix the nut angle it would open up more headstock designs. tuners are one of the least expensive upgrades on a guitar anyway. hard to refine this with a fat finger on a small phone screen
>>128282508we have those already they're called staggered tuners
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mzyz2egx_0c tuning>F, Bb, C#, F#, Bb, and Eb
>>128282516you’re thinking of break angle. I’m talking about this shit. to make a 3+3 headstock you have to deal with tuning instability caused by the angle coming from the backside of the nut going to the tuner. to make an inline headstock it has to be a hockey stick. 4+2 headstocks are also ugly
>>128282516also what you referred to is the post. apparently the part I was thinking of is referred to as the worm key and the knob is the button though it’s just part of the worm key if it’s a one piece design
I'm a bassist, wanting to learn a little guitar for fun. the jazzmasters do it for me and I like this squier's finishI could buy it new for 522€, which seems reasonable.any experience with these? or should I go for a CV 60s or just grab a fender player ii jm?
>>128283004It's better to buy whatever you like the looks of, also always try to find used deals
>>128283061>used dealsagree, but for whatever reason people try to sell these above retail price. after a little digging I found out that people thought these were limited editions, which they aren't - why the prices are still up is beyond me
>>128273378>>128273513why isn't your friend that wants to join coming up with his own part? why do you write it for him?a few hours of jamming should do the trick, would it not?
>>128282194spoken like a true guitar noob, pickups are the foundation of your sound and the tonality of guitar pickups can vary enormously within relative pickup families let alone between differently constructed types eg humbuckers to p90s. a low wind paf is an entirely different concoction with wildly different behaviour and response to an overwound dual rail triple ceramic magnet "modern metal" pickup, it won't even interact with your amplifier in the same way. you honestly sound like you started playing guitar a year ago and now have a bunch of unexamined opinions you can't wait to share with us>>128282361i appreciate the pun but the guitar looks great and you're trying too hard to be an edgy contrarian faggot just like the guy above, assuming you're not the same poster that is, you could well be since you both have shit taste and wrong opinions
>>128283070The older models also still have rosewood fretboards instead of the newer indian laurel ones.
>>128283093>assuming you're not the same poster that isbro we're all the same schizo. except that one guy.
>>128283093actually that guitar is objectively ugly having the headstock paint match the fretboard. the headstock shape is a bit more subjective, but saying the guitar is great is a stretch
A guitar also needs to look good from the angle you’ll be seeing it from when playing.
>>128283202That's why HSS Strats (Fenders, that is) kinda seem off to me. Generally look cool, but funky in playing position.
>>128283241yeah I don’t like painted necks either. solid color guitars should only be like $300 you could use pallet wood and no one would know
>>128283250Actually, I misread you. I thought you meant looking at others playing them. But I guess it applies from your own point of view too.It doesn't apply to non pickguard strat shapes. It just looks off to me with a pickguard.
im probably a raging homosexual but i think this studio session looks better than any standard
>>128283004JMJM is one of the best Squier guitars. Classic Vibe JMs are great too. I've owned both (the JMJM I owned had a laurel fretboard, if you care about that) and they were both great. I haven't played a Player II. They seem alright, but they have no rhythm circuit which sucks because I love pairing my rhythm circuit with some fuzz.Honestly, Go with the JMJM, if you prefer how it looks. Put 11s on it and you'll be good to go.
>>128283400I think it looks fine, though I prefer more natural colors when good wood is used and I prefer less inlays on fretboards now. an ornate inlay on the 12th or nothing at all on an ebony board looks best to me. I suppose I subscribe to the Japanese philosophy of paying homage to the beauty and function of the object in its purest and most natural form
>>128283459like I mean damn. imagine going for a solid color instead of getting to look at something like this all the time. maybe it’s just me (Gibson is definitely not using this grade of wood on their guitars tho)
>>128283425>11sI have a spare set of Rotosound yellow 10s lying around, but are 11s a better fit?
>>128273378Check this outhttps://youtu.be/zOtAkl-flOw?si=IPpbFGLIfK07XF_j
>>12828370110s could work too. I'd say that if you were going for a Jag or a Mustang, 10s would be too wobbly because of the short scale, but for a JM 10s are OK. Try them out and if they happen to feel a bit sloppy, go for 11s. They tense the guitar up nicely.IIRC, Squiers come with 9s stock and they definitely don't cut it. They rattle and pop out of their saddles, even on a JMJM which has a TOM bridge. So just throw them out as soon as you can.
SHRED BED NO. ?Coax out the arthoes with the jamz>let’s ride https://voca.ro/13eeMQyluzwu
>>128276043>>128275598I'd love to go down to the local music store and try a revstar out but the store closest to me has one and it's left handed.
>>128282163It’s a neat guitar. I’m not a fan of the stock pickups but I’ve been too lazy to replace them. They’re super hot and high output, I want to stick something lower output in that’ll be less muddy when clean, probably some Bill Lawrence L90s or maybe something from Fralin. He’s got a set that mimics single coils but I don’t know if I want to go that far away from humbuckers. I don’t like the two volume knob setup so when I eventually get around to swapping pickups I’ll put a traditional volume and tone in, maybe with the option for out of phase with either a push pull pot or just drill a hole in the metal plate for a small switch
