PRS putting out some nice guitars lately
>>128515861George Lynch is 73https://youtube.com/shorts/Gs579wyeyF8
>>128515903Their latest quiltet top SE look pretty great, too
>>128515861nice
>>128515689What's ur board look like
>>128515689Too busy, goes nowhere, says nothing.
>>128515969Still a multi-fx, but this bass straight into DI.
>>128515989this nigga pretending Jamiroquai and Stevie Wonder basslines are soulless
>>128515667Is it about the gear or the music, homie?
>>128515903that tacky crackle paintjob belongs on 80s glam metal superstrats, not anything with the name PRS on it or anything with a Tele shape0/10
>>128515689Are you using a limiter/compressor?

>mountain ban expired >slime is back
>>128516403It was crazy seeing when the futa spammer got banned that 80% of the posts in the thread were also deleted. Schizos scare me.
>>128516396what guitar is that?
>>128516403What did mountain do?
>>128516280nope, straight from bass into the DI
>>128515689bassed. my vintage II p bass and darkglass amp finally shipped. it’s been 3 weeks since this started
I don't really believe in pickupsI don't think they matter nearly as much as industry cunts want us to believe
>>128516529I don't believe in pickup brands but pickup styles do matter more than anything.Wether it's a single coil, a humbucker or a split coil does fundamentally change the sound.Wether it's Seymour Duncan, Fishman or DiMarzio matters not unless you're a mindless consoomer faggot.
https://youtu.be/mQUPh-USQEsi think i want one
>>128516529They're one of the only things that really matters on the guitar itself.
Jackson used to make cool guitars and decently specced too even sub $1000, what went wrong?
>>128516424Articulation sounds good but pretty blurry sound, maybe the DI is doing something, DAW too, or maybe your finger/picking (it’s that hard to tell) is flat. Still, it’s workable, I just didn’t hear dynamics except for the Entwistle clank sproing clankitty clank>you heard me
>>128516549>$1300 for an ugly small combo>could instead get the 500W Darkglass Head and a superior Markbass 2 x 10 for the same money.
>>128516658i was looking at the 1 x 12 but also what you just suggested costs more than either combo
Imagine being the marketing faggot who calls a color "specific ocean"
>>128516687>only 68 dollars a monthyou should get it
>>128516683>Darkglass Infinity Combo: 1299€>Darkglass A/O 500W Head: 800€>Markbass 2x10 Cab: 500€huh?
>>128516703im american forgive me
>>128516699the color is gay and I'm never buying a floyd rose guitar again, no thanks
>>128516608gain was cranked on the interface, forgot bass was active
ah, another day of just noodling around successfully well done
https://youtu.be/-CUGaQ71wvg?t=1211damn
Very useful so I dont break my back bending over
You're telling me I can control with a switch which pickups are being used so I don't need to switch where on the body I'm strumming?I just watched a video telling me this today
https://youtu.be/FxpdvbaDM3ohmm nah im sticking with the QC
>>128516764Unironically what else would I do with my guitar? I'm not in a band, I'm not a professional musician, or a music student, it's just me and my guitar in my living room, what else am I gonna do but blast some backing tracks and noodleNoodling is fun and I'm tired of fags pretending it's not
>>128516419I don’t know to bh
>>128516990I'm glad the QC is getting a strong competitor.Either the QC will get even better or the Line 6 actually puts their money where their mouth is and we get a new king.
>>128516988For me it's strumming right at the bridge for that trebly sharp twangy toan
>>128516419off topic spamming
>>128517049My hand naturally goes to strum in the middle. Can I get a nice clean tone by adjusting the switch? It doesn't feel natural anywhere else
Up and down with picks is hard
>>128516990same except the darkglass anagram. it’s the size of an american candy bar so easy to travel with
>>128517099yeah thats the whole thing with the helix xlits so god damn big you cant even fit it in a small backpack, assuming you use an enki case for your guitars
>>128517099>falling for KORG rebrandanybody who buys and Anagram is literally retarded and stupid>b-but muh QWAD KOTEXX is biggurif you can't two pounds more around you should just get a flute and practise blowing on your husband.
>>128517146I don’t and will never play guitar. anagram launched with better bass software day 1
>>128517126>implying the target audience for the Stadium is some puny nerd who carries pedals in his backpackit's like two thirds the size of the current Helix and has more inputs and features than the QC. The only downside is that it's new so it's gonna take a while until the early adopters manage to get the initial kinks and bugs fixxed. It has the potential to dab on anything that has hit the market so far.
>helix xl>cant put it in overhead compartment on the plane>cant put it under the seat>this means professionals will not use itits doa
>>128517189You're retarded if you think that.They are literally running QC software but cut out the guitar stuff. They're adding shit that the QC has had for years because they were too stupid to cut the guitar shit without affecting the whole unit. I repeat myself, if you get an Anagram you're retarded, especially now that the Line 6 has hit the market so now you have two fresh competitors depending on early adopters while the QC can sit back and improve on its already superior features.
>>128517228if you have a video with a deep dive comparing the two I don’t mind watching it but my understanding is that the ir capturing in the anagram is better than the qc. Im also not running more than 4-5 pedals on bass so the cost and form factor were better with the anagram for me
>>128517195>implying you can put the current big helix in anything but a coffinyeah that unit has so not sold millions and is totally totez not being used by professionals...not like there's a non-homosexual Stadium without the gay pedal that is roughly the size of a QC.
>>128517270>yeah let me just drag this fucking coffin onto the planestadium is for bedroom players, confirmed.
>>128517318I could see it being using for people on major tours where their gear is shipped in rollaways for them but that’s not most people
>>128517262Currently, the only "bass content" not available for Quad Cortex is a bass synth block, and Anagram doesn’t have dedicated one either. Aside from that, I don’t see anything that I can’t achieve with both units in all department.The QC has long included EVERYTHING the anagram has, and has the best capturing software in the market (let's see if the Line 6 can keep up). Shit like designating frequencies into distortion instead of distorting the whole signal has been possible on the QC via parallax for years. Meanwhile the Anagram had to add this as a feature some weeks ago and made a big fuzz about it in their promotions as if it was some groundbreaking invention.After the KORG buyout Darkglass and Neural are now competitors instead of partners, which is why they have been dishing out shit like those retarded combo amps, touch screen pedals and the Anagram to try to keep up while Neural keeps becoming stronger and stronger with their QC and plugins.
>>128517343that kind of answers a few questions. I’ll look into it
>>128516734You are forgiven my son
Packing for a move. Who out there is Nashvilletuningpilled?Give me strategies
>>128517262>if you have a video with a deep dive comparing the twono real deep dive exists so far and this guy uses a guitar but he gets the point across.I fucking love all those bot comments praising the Anagram.youtu.be/NdfQT_-B2to?t=755Another plus for the QC that the Anagram will never be able to:You can run your whole band through it if you and your other guitarist(s) and bass player want to. You're gonna have to MIDI sync it to switch automatically but many live bands do this anyways. So you can essentially share the cost of one, as well.youtu.be/yZtSmOsmf04?t=26https://youtu.be/yZtSmOsmf04?t=245
digital modelers are lame
>>128517623I do be nashville tuning
>>128517633don’t get me wrong man I get objectively on paper the feature disparity but the anagram is 60% the price and half the size. I wouldn’t use 70% of the features on a qc
>>128517771Your current pedals are worth twice the difference and the QC would replace all of them.
To change the subject, 99% of bassists don't need more than a good distortion, eq and two or three of whatever modulation you feel like playing. You can get all this on a top notch level for < 500 bucks. Whoever buys and Anagram or a QC is in 99% of cases a retarded consoomer.Out of that 1% the smartest niggas simply get pic related instead.
>>128517836do you work for quad cortex? your hate for the anagram seems to go deeper than average
>>128517910Nah, I just hate how hard KORGglass has been shitting the bed since taking over my favorite brand and the Anagram marketing has been some of the most blatant shilling I have seen, especially when you actually sit down and see how shitty the Anagram is for the price.Meanwhile Doug Castro has been making miracles come true with Neural and it's obvious that he was the one carrying Darkglass before the acquisition.
alternative option: plug guitar into amp and quit being an embarrassment to guitar pedalfag
>>128517944that’s a fair point and I’ll give you that. admittedly I never bought pedals and jumped straight into a modeler to save money so I didn’t and still don’t really know anything about the corporate practices going on behind the scenes.
>>128517986Imma be 100% real, no feelings, just objective bang for your buck.If you want bang for your buck get a Helix Stomp, if you want the best you can get, fork out for a QC.The Anagram lies between the two but can't beat either one in their respective departments.
My tapping is always too quiet no matter what form I try. My fingers just don't want to work properly.
You can get 'obsolete' rack modelers from the 90's, 00's, 10's on reverb/ebay all day for a few hundred shit like compression, reverb, delay, chorus, flange, phase, autowah, distortion... literally every fucking guitar effect has been perfected for a long time
>>128518030string action?>>128518036guitar maybe but bass distortion has hardly been mastered for the last decade and it's still difficult as hell to get a nice tone because you have to work with blends and frequencies. not just plug and play and turn up gain until it goes zzzzzzhhhhhmmmm
>>128518050>bass distortionstay in your lane I told you 2 days ago that shit isn't your job it's the guitarists. maybe a little drive but you shouldn't be pedalfagging as a bass guitarist
>>128518050Had the action checked at my LGS last week and they said it was fine, it was just a bit out of tune.
>>128518064geetahr bebby scared of big brr brr sounds?lemme give you a peck on the cheek m'boy*mwah*>>128518068how high though? maybe your guy way an Yngwie boomer who plays half an inch above the fretboard. You should be able to tap with your eyelash if you got the action low enough on an electric.
>>128517979you get tired of dragging a 2x10 cab and head when you gig
>>128518030most people are using a compressor and gain which makes the tapping seem louder by comparison
>>128518064no professional or good musician would ever say something like this. been playing for 20 years all over and never heard this until /gg/ and boomer forums
>>128518086I'm on a Les Paul, is the action higher by default on that? Should I try again on a Strat?>>128518102Fucking really? I'm too poorfag for proper equipment so I'm always just playing unplugged.
>>128518127>i'm playing an unplugged electric guitar>why is it so quiet?!?!?
>>128518127I don't think the type of guitar defines the string height, you should be able to get your action low enough on an LP as well.
>>128518127>bad muting technique? >run a noise gate most shit on the Internet is fake
>>128518144It's still way quieter than anyone I've heard play unplugged on YT vids
>>128518161you do know that the people recording on youtube can turn up the volume on their footage?
>>128515903chinese gaming mice ass guitar
>put pedals on the floor>have to bend over to turn any knob>put pedals on the desk>can't tap them with your foot
>>128518117you've played for 20 years and haven't noticed that playing a bass guitar through a fucking big muff is retarded and not something that anybody does?
gettin off work, gonna play me tele loud and treblemaxxed tonite he’ll yeah
>>128518147you should be able to go much lower on a 12 inch radius than a 9.5 inch radiusfender enthusiasts on strat talk, offsetguitars, tdpri will all agree
>>128518218>not something that anybody does?I see, we're dealing with a blues or jazz retard, either way, highly gay.
>>128518214>not attaching them to your guitar
>>128518214Have your knobs pre turned
https://vocaroo.com/14C040Q0RKyScan you tell when i turned on the omicron here? i know i messed up once but is bass sound too heavy here? the ending is big muff, omicron and the dry level all at once i like it but i need another opinion on it
>>128518391your distortion sounds very tame considering you're stacking two of the most notorious fizz pedals, maybe push some more gain and mids/treble and dial the bass back more, it's still very boomy? Unless that's what your going for, but it is far from that aggressive tone you liked so much when I posted mine back then. I could never tell you're using an Alpha Omega effect if I didn't know you had it on your board.
>>128518447i have the big muff blend maxxed out and the omicron level and drive at about 1 oclock. if i give the omicron more presence im in the red when i play. i dont think turning down the big muff is worth it cause that just gives me more of my dry signal which i already get from the PM. i have the return and send for the BM at about 9 and its loud. the omicron is at 11 and its still gets drown out by the BM.
>>128518391I have that deluxe muff for guitar, pretty good. Except I haven't used it in awhile.
>>128518563dunno, blend less clean into it then, but it should not sound as boomy as it does, one can hardly notice any distortion going on.
>>128516280Stop namefaggin you retarded tourist
Parts feel pickup recomendations? Budget is 100 bucks and I play a lot of mathrock and fuzzy alt, so clarity is nice (tired of humbuckers not racist just dont like em)
>>128515667What is this device that almost every music youtube owns, is it an attenuator?
>>128518725There’s one for sale locally $900
>>128518725>is it an attenuator?Yeah, but it also has a knob that has some IR presets on it which is why so many Youtubers have one since many simply plug straight into their console.It's an overpriced IR pedal with only 6 presets but it looks nice in the background of a YT video and the content creators can flex so it's popular.
>>128516727Kahler?
>>128518694Oops parts tele* bit too much early season spiked eggnog sorry lads
>>128518815very low output noiseless ones
>>128518815Bootstrap
>>128517737Explain the dark arts. Seems like there’s zones to play with the g being flipped an octave. I like the clusters so far.

>>128518447https://vocaroo.com/1lMtkcI4CNcjhttps://vocaroo.com/1n4QmjMvNIl2>very boomyYeah that boomy sound comes on whenever i use the omicron and big muff together. I tried here to get more distortion through but that boomy sound is still there. i like it but i also think it gets too heavy. you think this take handles it any better? i took off some blend from the big muff and tried to EQ the distortion higher so you hear it. the first link was full alpha 2nd link is full omega. i still think i might be too loud but after playing with a guitarist the other day im not sure if these volume levels would be a problem in a jam setting.
Been digging into a lot of old James Burton stuff, old guitar music is really cool when you put yourself in the shoes of someone who was there when it was new. It’s the songs as a whole are definitely dated sounding today but just focusing on guitar parts there’s some cool stuff to learn
>>128519002Melvins-y
>>128518994you can obviously do some cool stuff but you need consistency and precision for those kinds of sounds to actually sound good
>>128518570deluxe big muff is probably my favorite pedal on the board. i dont use the crossover that much but the fuzz from blending is great>>128519020both links or a specific one? i like the melvins a lot so im glad i got somewhere in their ball park
>>128519021I’m just posting demos on a beater guitar. I’m moving, so I can only what I can in my free slime.
>>128519037Too many words, the roos speak for themselves my guy
>>128519032It was the second link. If you could re-amp the bass near a vibrating snare ring, it could sound huge. It seems like it’s less like a rhythm section instead of being in the same room (which I assume most Melvins tracks are)
>>128519091thanks ill fuck around with that tone some more then
>>128519073>roosAre you having a stroke?Here I’ll redeem myself:https://voca.ro/11Oesp4O608AThat is first take. I have a stockpile to start shedding, so it’s really just picking what works best for recording portfolio and more refined stuff on Spotify.
lvl1sl1me more like lvl000ze amirite
>>128519126god damn you really are a tourist
>>128519132sounds good>Im on island slime, monnnnnI got that sweet Lightning Bolt sound to mosh with hotties of the arthoe varietyhttps://voca.ro/1hjnQdTv7SAH
>>128519166tfw no grippy sock arthoe gf
>>128519002still really boomy.frankly I would not be using the muff and the darkglass together as much as you are, the darkglass alone should be more than able to get the gritty tone you liked.I'd fiddle around with the mid/treble on your eq and the dry/wet mix on your mixer pedal until the darkglass alone sounds similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8_vHaD-41Ithen experiment with how you can fatten it up with blending in the muff to fatten it up.But right now it sounds like you have 90% clean with boosted bass and 10% distortion. Start by turning down the dry volume on your parallel mixer and gradually turn it up until the cleans aren't overwhelming the effects.

>>128518815Doesn't guitar fetish have stupid cheap yet stupid good ones? I know they have decent PAF clones at 40 bux a pop>>128518770Cheers m8
>>128517035Doubt it will get better, they're barely working on updates with plug in compatibilities as it is. Wish it had better transpose tracking and some more basic effects like swell, synthesizer like in the rabea plug in locally.
What do you think of Fripp's New Standard Tuning?
>>128509199Close but its too distorted, the timing is slightly off and you are losing the note too soon on the hammer ons and pull offs.
>>128519254Maybe now they'll put in more effort. They have been the undisputed kings since they launched five years ago, nothing came even close and nothing was similarly priced, they owned the whole upper segment.Now the Line 6 is price-mogging and extra-mogging them so they'll either have to improve or lose, because anybody who has 2k flush laying around for a multi-fx will eventually swarm to the better unit.
>>128519285who
shitplank bros ww@
>>128519287didn't ask
>>128519285Tried it but the scale length of guitar doesn’t really work. Fifths are a pain because thirds are harder to reach in the lower portion of the neck. You end up using what sounds like drop 2 and 4 voicings (airy but ambiguous due to stacked 6ths). Fripp also didn’t use this tuning in his Wetton era, so it’s more of that Belew sound
>>128518979Nice. I like the third the best, lotsa movement. Lyrics sounds a bit psychopathic but I was only listening to the lyrics on the periphery.
>>128519454thanks man.>psychopathicexplain?
>>128518927Personally, I like to throw a capo on 3 or 5 and transpose the chords to be equivalent to whatever the standard 6 string is doing to get some nice mandolin-esque depth on topIn a solo setting I like using the g like a banjo drone string
Retard newfag here, what frets should each finger be on for me to hit these notes properly?
>>128519504what’s there to explain? you posted three songs about being mentally unstable and manipulating all the men you’re whoring yourself out to, up to the point of literally diagnosing yourself with with a personality disorder. it’s xiu xiu but gay.
>>128519504I'm an ESL listening to those lyrics on the periphery while scrolling 4chinz, so I might have misheard some lyrics to mean like "I'm gonna skin you alive" or somesuch intent lol. Or maybe it's the brooding mood of the song?But I like the music. I hate opera but prefer Italian to English voiced ones as I don't have to understand how sappy they really are.
>>128519657>I'm an ESLwe know
>>128519590I hear ya. It’s like my argument against piccolo bass - eventually it should be like a ultrashortscale guitar instead of retrofitting. It also changes the resonance so passing chords have a stacked C6/9. I’d think of NST as an open tuning, and all open tunings I treat like side hos: I deliberateky don’t want to learn every about you, open c… just suck the dI’m learning violin and the fifths have a different type of pattern that just makes chords clunky. Two thirds spaced in a row across three strings is a significant chunk of fretboard real estate.
>>128519641that’s fair, actually.>>128519657no, none of them say that. are you ESL or just schizophrenic?

>>128519887Technically speaking you can bring whatever old gear into gc and they'll most likely take them off you, prepare to get $200 less than selling them yourself though
yeah this is why I just stick with one really good instrument and one really good amp

Did you guys know Orville Gibson was probably a schizo? Apparently he was in and out of hospitals, was declared 'incompetent'.
>>128519941All you need is a MIA Fender or Gibson and a Twin Reverb
>>128519941>he doesn't have a dozen exceptional instruments
>>128518979the weird nonsensical harmonic choice actually work somehow, and the rhythmic variation in the second one is cool, but also i fucking hate this
A dozen? You need as little as two guitars and two keyboards.

ToneX now has a headphone amp.https://youtu.be/Y2HcUTsNMQo
I have a cheap & old Ibanez starter guitar, is it worth upgrading to a nice Fender or G&L or whatever?
Are there any headphone amps that can connect to a footswitch? Seems like that would be really easy to do but Boss didn’t allow for it.

Did you know that Rickenbacker the name was already famous? Adolph (founder of Rickenbacker guitars) was the cousin of a certified fighter pilot Chad named Eddie Rickenbacker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Rickenbacker
>>128520044and then end up with a worse and more expensive than some shit off the shelf
>>128519960I hate clutter
>>128520017Eveb the cheap indo squiers mog cheapo guitars from the 2000s, much more so a used MIM. What's your budget?
>>128520067There are outlier squiers but I think 90 percent of the time the mexican standards are nicer than the squier counterparts. Sure, the pickups in the current year squiers are way better than the old 90's mim stuff but the actual guitars are not nicer at all

If you want something that will actually last a life time, go with stainless steel frets. Doesn't have to be a Revstar, but it should be.
>>128520289the gold evo frets are good too if it fits your aesthetic
>>128520291Never had one myself but they are more durable than nickel. Why are we still using nickel again?
Will I wear down my frets if I keep bending?
>>128520328No it's from squeezing. If you see pitted frets it's almost always on the low part of neck where people play chords not in the wheedly zones.
>>128520328Yes, but it would take years of bending unless you have really bad wire.
>>128520322TOANbecause they’re cheap and easy on tooling
>>128520192Was thinking Fender or G&L I like the vintage red/blue colors with a pearl pickguard
>>128520017Yes, get a nice Fender.
I'll never make it as a guitar player so I'm just gonna go full AI music and see what happens

>>128520636You adapt with the timesIf AI is the way to go so be itArt died decades ago
I'm sorry. I will play a Telecaster now.
>>128520678You better be shredding some country shit on it and not just playing shitty indie rock
>>128520710only thing he shredding is cheese
>>128520647Weak bitch. You and the times can lick my ass. I will swim against the current. The time of the real is now.
>>128520818When I buy my lambo from my AI music I'll make sure to post it here anonerino
Does a G&L asat sound more like a tele or a strat? I love the way a strat sounds so this could be a deal breaker for me if it has too much twang
Theres no making it, you could be literally and objectively the number 1 guitarist on the planet and still make a pittance because music doesn't sell. People want performance not a masterful execution of a scale. Look at the biggest music artists, none of them have skills beyond year 2.If you got into music for money you are retarded, no joke, retarded. If you put the same amount of time and effort into anything else you would've made more.
>>128521101Every country artist can play circles around anyone in this thread even if their music doesn't portray it
>>128520140martins suck dick. they all sound lifeless and dead i can go to guitar center strum 10 martins and they lack brilliance. they are overrated af. Taylor blows them out of the water
>>128521123I'm literally a professional bluegrass musician with 20 years of playing experience, they would not play circles around me. I likely gave them their first lesson.Taylor swift can barely play cowboy chords yet her music will outsell the entirety of nashville.
>>128521164go stroke your banjo cletus. nobody gives a fuck.

>>128521162>martins suck dickYou're just mad because you see them as competition.
>>128521186lmao why does it start with a mouse click bro
>>128521162change to monel strings, play them for a few months. sound better than any Taylor and better than my DYM70. they aren’t built for phosphor bronze strings because those didn’t even exist til the 70s>t adirondack hd28 owner
>>128521208>>128521189why when i go in guitar center and try out 8-10 martins do they sound muted and dead then.the quality control on them must suck ass.
>>128521195? thats the finger picks hitting the body you sped.
>>128521219they’re slightly overbraced so they become perfectly balanced when they age. that’s why no other guitars replicate the Martin sound unless you buy a $8k boutique guitar and even then it’s not the same. also again stop using phosphor bronze (warm) strings on a warm (Martin) guitar. I have no fucking clue why Martin ships them with pb strings because the monels are just as corrosion resistant as the lower end of coated strings.
>>128521219Because you live in Corndog, Idaho, at the end of some supply-chain line where they shunt all the lemon guitars?
>>128521247also if you’ve ever played a vintage acoustic that wasn’t a Martin the wood is very brittle and the guitar almost feels fragile. they’re very hollow sounding like a box full of crackers or something. prewar martins sound phenomenal
>>128521101Yeah it's true.If you're getting into music to make good music and be the best - more power to you, that's not what sells or what people care about.If you want to /makeit/ in the music industry you need to be a character yourself and make music people want to listen to.
>>128521254i live on the west coast actually in a very populated city.
>>128521256sorry last post on this. you have to constantly play acoustics for them to open up, which isn’t happening in guitar stores. even Paganini’s El Canone takes a few hours to open up according to everyone that has been fortunate enough to play it. i don’t know what the science is, but it is what it is.
>>128521277*Il Cannone. I knew I was misspelling it
>>128521277>you have to play them for them to open upJust wrong on like every level.The real answer is the strings are old not this wives tale you insist on keeping.
>>128521289I owned two high end acoustic and changed the strings every 2 weeks. sound changed considerably over the first 3 months. this is common knowledge
>>128521326Likely due to one of the following1. Temperature of the air.2. Temperature of the instrument3. Individual differences due to day to day inconsistencies of being human.4. Humidity levels.5. Distance from sound hole to your ear6. Direction of sound hole to your ear7. Material differences in the room.The wood is dead, the wood does not open up, the wood does not breathe, these are wives tales and do not show up when tested.
>>128521358nta but you're wrong.
>>128521387Great argument, very succinct and telling of your overall intelligence.
>>128521402Thanks and I accept your apology. No harm, no offense taken. This is a friendly place if you just sit down and listen and learn.
>>128521358actually it’s more likely that the internal stresses of the braces and soundboard are settling and allowing the top to vibrate more. the top being able to vibrate more or less changes the overall frequency response of the instrument. this has been scientifically demonstrated and proven. but it’s really not so much that the guitar is breathing more or is better, it’s actually more of the soundboards inability to accurately (flat eq) produce sounds is more or less better in different parts of the frequency spectrum. good guitars will create a lot of harmonics and overtones in the resonance chamber even when playing fundamentally weak notes like the 7-9th frets of the high e strings and farther up the neck
why'd Yamaha let Chrysler get away with calling these minivans Pacificasit's not RIGHT
Pick snobs utterly BTFO'd by the superior choice.Everyone begins here.Everyone eventually returns.Time to come home.
>>128521453they've changed them since i started playing so I can never go backbet you didn't know THAT zoomer
>>128521439acoustics guitars are also fundamentally flawed because of their size and string tension. they require far too much bracing and making them any larger doesn’t do much for volume/projection but does add some bass. the top is actually incredibly rigid compared to instruments like the mandolin or violin where this is just a single bass bar and a sound post. violin tops or ridiculously flexible thanks in no small part to the F holes and its ability to beat the air through the top vibrating is why they’re far louder than acoustic guitars even with soft techniques like pizzicato. you can also see this on double basses where it is essentially an upscaled violin but the top is obviously far more rigid. still quieter than the violin even when playing in the same register. all this stuff was solved centuries ago but it’s still interesting
>>128521439Gonna need a source for that, I'd believe this to be true for a really new off the line guitar but not one thats been sitting in a conditioned room for months to years. Any change that does occur would be minor compared to the variables I listed.
>>128521442Different industriesYamaha hasn't made a car yet
>>128521458I'm an old ass boomerlennial that spent 15 years using Tortex, Jazz III, etc.The Fender's are exactly as I remember them from when I was a kid.What actually changed?
>>128521254What's wrong with Idaho?
>>128521471Point being if your guitar sounds like shit to begin with no amount of aging is going to make it sound sweet.
>>128521471Like I said I don’t know the science but literally everyone in the industry can corroborate it. Even perfect-pitch orchestral players. You can take a guitar that has settled and acclimated to the same room and without leaving the room or changing mic positions experience that the guitar has gained some volume and different overtones just by being played for a few hours.
Does a G&L ASAT Z-3 sound more like a strat or tele?
>>128521477the writing used to be imprinted now it's silkscreenedi don't use them anyways, I have a variety of celluloid, nylon and tortex in shapes and sizes but celluloid break and wear down fast even though they probably sound the best
>>128521501btw I don’t have a source and wouldn’t be able to find one, and to be fair I opened with that. the phenomenon can be witnessed first hand but as far as I know there is no consensus on the cause at the moment
>>128521501Sick weasel words but 99.9% people agree with me.https://www.liutaiomottola.com/myth/old.htm
>>128521528two problems: that’s not discussing the issue which I’m talking about. 2, he just says he doesn’t believe it and only offer speculation as to why. I actually agree that new instruments can sound just as good as old ones, but they’ll also experience a slight change in sound over their lifetime
>>128521453>not heavies
Reminder that "industry people" and top of the line musicians fall for snake oil shit all the time just like you and they frequently fail blind tests
>>128521548Because the thing you are talking about hasn't been objectively studied so your claim is entirely speculation. There has been studies on violins and he sources those studies at the bottom, no distinction made with a slight preference for modern. It doesn't exist and if it does its literally so minor it doesn't matter going back to the very original point of anon saying every Martin sounds like shit.If you start with a shit martin and wait 40 years in perfect conditions its still a shit martin.
>>128521454ayy my boy is backhttps://voca.ro/1mnbBOuWoq5k
>>128521559There was an Andertons video a while back where they did a blind test and the guy thought the Squire CV Strat was the real one. It didn't seem staged.
>>128521559>le double blind testRationalists are retarded. The mind cannot truly know anything. What matters is how it makes you feel. Btw every single aspect of life is significant in infinite and incomprehensible ways retard. And obviously slop guitars are shit but what really matters is getting the right guitar for you, and that can only emerge out of a life lived correctly. Faggot.
>>128521504Really? Not ONE person here has an ASAT?
>>128521590Why do you think they went bankrupt idiot, you can't find those things in any store
My favorite is when the sound test answers arent in that video so everyone answers honestly, then the next video has the reveal.
>>128521581>guys who make a living selling cheap stuff tell you that it's totally okay to buy cheap stuffI mean, it is totally okay to buy cheap stuff but it's important to take anything said by a salesman with a grain of salt
>>128521590I have one guitar its a Fender Strat why would I play or own anything else?
>>128521596Squier CVs are pretty damn good thoughProbably better than whatever the fuck the Fender Standard line is at the very least
>>128521568ok
>>128521610I agree
>>128521610the way they finish the necks makes them feel like plastic. the cheaper squiers feel better. I hate CV's.
>>128521610>Probably better than whatever the fuck the Fender Standard line is at the very leastStandards use ceramic pickups, so in that sense the CV is a more authentic Strat sound.
i winhttps://voca.ro/15vo4Gj6sQXY
>>128521592Ok and now Fender bought them up; it's irrelevant anyway, it's not what I'm asking.>>128521601Bro I just want to know if an ASAT sounds more like a Strat or tele
>>128521625>Bro I just want to know if an ASAT sounds more like a Strat or telemore like a strat because the whole gimmick (and it is a gimmick) with these guitars is the pickups have a wide range, lots of treblle lots of basszero people like the way they sound go to youtube and watch comparison videos, they're bad
>>128521610>made in the same factory>CV has better variety of guitars, types of finishes and specs, and bonus stuff like stamped neck plate>CV uses alnico pickups instead of ceramic No reason for standards to exist as they currently do.
>>128521635Thanks, I'll stick with a strat then.Who's the go-to for strats?
>>128521635https://youtu.be/6PzhYH6Q81M&t=297NTA but this doesn’t sound that different from a tele
>>128521689that's an asat classic not a real asat
i meant like these. they sound awesome btw i just lie
>take strings off to loom under pickguard >put same strings back on (it was a hassle)>now my high E is constantly going out of tunebros did I fuck up?
not that impressed with the line 6 thing desuanything can sound great these days even the $50 chinesium modelling unit, it's all software now
Thinking bout all the dead /gg/ homies tonight. Crazy how Bluefem actually got his Blue Jem on his gravestone, that's some wild shit. Nice of his parents to actually know about his /gg/ career.

There's never been a big audience for just strictly instrumental shredders..even in the best of times like the 80s/early 90s. And there are classical guitarists who would eat him alive (and the rest of us)...but they especially don't make anything.
