Guitar and Bass general: Mentally stable editionPrevious: >>128918417
first for schizos
>>128932882Can't decide if I like the amber or reflector knobs better on the LP.
>>128932882Nice cat and nice room. Is the bridge pickup supposed to be that much higher?
Large mouth bass guitar
>>128933045They're both 3/32 on the bass and 1/16 treble side when fretted on the last fret. Due to the neck angle, probably.
Accidentally keep making unwanted noise when switching to and from chords, makes the playing sound very sloppy - how can I fix this?
>>128933093slow it down and practice
New bridge installed, 11s set up
>>128933155looks weird, is it actually better?
>watching hour long tutorial on amp in the mail I want it so bad
>>128933162I think so. I mainly play chordal stuff, rhythm guitar like the Jonas Brothers. I hear more upper mids which is good
duo sonic/mustang pickups in a strat, has anyone done it?
>>128933199a good bridge should give you louder harmonics
>>128933199you from Camp Rock?
Is it normal as a beginner to still struggle on songs you've been playing for months? Been kinda on/off at least.
>>128933162It’s essentially Ron Thorn’s take on the Fender Custom Shop RSD bridge, I like that it’s like a LP special tailpiece bridge. My wife got it for me for Christmas, I was happy with a Mustang bridge but I’m not gonna just not use my Christmas present>>128933199Nah that’s gay
>>128933233this question needs more context but it’s normal to have days where you suck. if you only play along to the backing track or the song it is very easy not hear mistakes and just mime along to the timing. if you can’t play the part alone to a metronome you didn’t really learn it
>>128933233its not normal
>>128933218Why bother, all Mustang/Duo Sonic pickups are are slightly weaker Strat pickups with flat pole pieces and plastic covers. You can get close enough with regular Strat pickups by just lowering them super low
any mode discussion?
>>128933371Yeah I’m straight more you’re gay mode LOL
>>128933382gottem
cool study that shows people only care about groove when the bass is playing it. EEG shows increased brain function when complex rhythms are present in bass frequencies versus other registershttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6094140/
>>128933337I generally only play along to the song or count along in my head when I'm just warming up. Also is it normal to be a bit better when playing along to the metronome than when you're playing to the song?>>128933339So I just suck then?
>>128933505it’s not really normal but it might be if you do substantially more metronome practice than live practice.
>>128933445Looks like somebody's grad school fluff piece.
>>128932882Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!! Nice cat bro!!You have my favorite collection on this general.
>>128933371I've realized recently that the more balanced the base scale is, the stronger the "flavor" of its modes. like the diatonic scale is the most balanced so all the modal flavors are very distinctive (take for example Ionian vs locrian). if you go to a scale like harmonic minor or melodic minor, that is inherently unbalanced, most of those modes end up sounding very similar. for example, Phrygian dominant, Locrian natural 6 and Dorian augmented 4th all sound pretty similar, far more so then their diatonic counterparts.
>I ordered 3 necks from chinaI'm regretting already, but will post when I get them.I half expect them to warp in a year.
My only achievement at guitar is getting (you)s in /gg/ for shitposts
Where should I be after almost 11 months?
Keep strumming brah, you'll get there. Its a marathon not a race.
@128933660here's another, friend. this is how you give (You)'s right?
>>128933662Anywhere but here.
>>128933666Let ye who hath understanding . . .
>>128933633are you listening to those back to back or in context
Just stop posting. You're not contributing anything to the thread.
You guys seein this?
>>128933733chatoyant on god ngl
>>128932882Serious question: Legally, what would happen if I walked into a guitar store and started smashing every guitar I could find into the ground?
>>128933155vintera?
>>128933793guitar center would just put it back on the shelves and sell it anyway
>>128933796AO 60s
Is stratocoustic a good Rocksmith guitar?
I'm a beginner trying to learn guitar and FUUUUCK my fingers hurt. I miss the bass guitar.
>>128933978doubt it. rocksmith struggles with weak output pickups and acoustic pickups are among the weakest
supposed to arrive 1/5/26. the wait is so fucking hard bros. will be my 7th electric
>>128933978nope, nothing acoustic. just buy a cheap Donner or Yamaha Stratocaster clones with whammy if ur a newb
>>128934068if u can replace the trem system that would be nice, but yeah this is a good guitar for the price. No doubt.
>>128933046I have this exact bridge. I had to contact the guy that designed it to get replacement parts
>Tele Deluxe seller won’t be home until next week so it won’t ship until either right before the end of the year or after the new yearI am excited bros>>128934068Excitement bros
>>128933155nice
>>128934164don’t have an autistic meltdown like the peavey negro
>>128934190Nah I’ve got plenty of other guitars to keep me company and I expected a little bit of a delay with the holidays so no big deal, I’m still gonna be excited tho
Can anyone recommend me a good amp sim vst to use with real pedals? Something clean mainly cause I've got a joyo uzi for distortion.
>>128934068>epiphonemy condolences
>>128934215i already have 3 gibsons.
>>128934230Shoulda regained a Gretsch with a Bigsby.
>>128934230I don’t understand how someone can enjoy changing instruments so often. I find it uninspiring and detrimental to progress
>>128934238i had that as an option. but i love es guitars so much more than gretschs.
>semihollowseh at least it's better than a SG
>>128934258average intermediate owns 6-9, once you hit the plateau its different
Just got back from a local gig. The opening band was dull and had a not so cool disposition. 2nd band thought they knew they weren't as good as they thought, but they had no idea. Dreadful, to make myself clear. The guitarist had all the expected pedals. The bass player was really active melodicaly but thankfuly I was only hearing the amp at stage volume, as i was in the front portion of the audience, viewing the band, and the sound guy almost completley ducked the level going to the P/A. The keyboard player looked like a total nerd and he couldn't play at all. He was the best part of the band. The singer was not able to be there, so he was the second best member. The main band, which I hapen to play guitar in, had a great performance according to most reviews.
>>128934258you're not going to get along well with ggwe buy new shit here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaq2mwPGaE4
>>128934258Different tools in the toolbox, and when things start feeling stale you pick up another guitar and it makes you play differently and suddenly you’re inspired again.
>>128934505I like buying stuff but it makes more sense to get a custom built instrument with all your specs and a custom built preamp that makes it sound great regardless of what you plug it into
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZikqhqTRQI
>>128934505we buy used shit here
>>128934230How does the Jazzmaster and Strat compare sound wise? I love my Strat and have been thinking about a Jazzmaster but I don’t want it to be too similar.
>>128934558Used = based, new = ur gonna get jew’d
>ups still hasn't picked up my amp from the storeFuck i should've ordered it monday or Tuesday. Holiday time is a bitch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H0NHHKBemg
>>128934564nta but the jazzmaster neck sounds even clearer and more open than a strat neck and you get some extra tones out of the rhythm circuit that cant be found anywhere else.

oh boysi just got a strandberg and it feels real nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZCPJsj_5o8
>>128934673cool. I’m not crazy about their basses
>>128934042I'm also a beginner and I dabble in bass too. What are you playing from this album? I've always wanted to learn Florida.
>>128934673Why did Gilmour do it? This could've been done on a Strat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk7AVm0Ome0
>>128934707Nevermind I was thinking of Sandberg. I don’t like Strandbergs at all

>>128934258they sound and feel different which is why i like having different guitars.

It's too much.
>>128934963Too much money? Looks cool though.
>>128934970Too much plastic and metal puts the man:nature ratio way out of balance. Picrel is way better.
>>128934963>SIX VOLUME AND TONE KNOBS
>>128934999Well, I'd prefer that too just for the P90s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-QPvffO1gs
>>128934999those pickups look horrible on a hollow body
>>128935026There was a Martin Gore sig Gretsch.
>>128929619>I listen to most vocas when I've got the time. Hell I even backread past threads if there are any spicy ones. If I appreciate them enough I just say they're nice. Yours is alright, sounds to me like you like grungeI don't really care for grunge, I just noticed that the settings I had sounded like it so I started messing around.
>>128935036I think they complement the brown nicely
Do acoustics have less space between frets? I'm finding it easier to make chords shapes on acoustic over my electric
>>128935137they have more space between the strings. scale length is negligible
>>128935148Uh thanks I guess..
>>128934814>>128934874I can’t believe you faggots are still posting about me. I think I’ve made maybe one post in this thread in the last six months, I happened to check in only because I’m off for Christmas and less busy than usual and I see you’re still bitter about my existence.>>128934878>don’t quit you day jobDon’t worry, I didn’t.
>>128935159He means the spacing at the nut. Also, acoustics are pretty flat. Classical is completely flat, but a lot of steel strings at still like a 16" radius. Something you only see on shredder electrics.
>>128934564I like the JM more than a Strat, especially if it has a rhythm circuit and or P90s. They’re kinda apples and oranges but but if I had to pick one it would be a Jazzmaster for the trem and the rhythm circuit. I’ll shamelessly use this as an excuse to post the Kriss nigga stick I got for Christmas with one of my JMs in the background.
>>128933155Nice, I've always wanted to get rid of adjustable intonation on jaguars.

>>128935283/gg/ Iconic Strat Players Edition
>>128935223It intonated and its adjustable, CHECK and MATE imbecile (that means stupid)
>>128935316>For use with 7-1/4", 9-1/2" or 10" radius fretboards and common string gauges: 9-42, 10-46, 11-49 with Plain G-strings (a Wound-G version is also available)I guess it's fine if you only want to play in E Standard with a limited range of string gauges. Wild that you need to buy a whole new bridge if you want to use a wound G lol

>>128935470man, fuck off
>>128935344>only want to play in E StandardI don’t see why I’d want to play this in anything other than that, maybe down to Eb. I’ve got other guitars already set up for alternate tunings >with a limited range of string gaugesHow often are you going back and forth between gauges? All my short scales are either 11s or 12s, this one is 11s and I’m perfectly happy sticking with 11s on it. Worse case scenario if for whatever reason I want to do something different I’ll just stick one of my other two bridges on and set it up real quick, it isn’t the end of the world. I doubt I’ll ever do that though
>>128935457he's learning
>>128935453This is actually the secret to picking up women. You just walk up to a pretty girl, ask her the time, and then walk away. I can talk to 4-5 hot girls in an evening with this technique. It takes the pressure off them and makes the encounter 100% positive.

Are p100s really that different from p90s?
>>128936769they're 10 morethat's substantial
>>128936769p94s
>>128936769Yeah they don't have that sparkly top end, they're like p90s with the life sucked out of them. Still alright if you want to approximate that sound without hum. They do what they're designed to do.
>>128935486Yeah I'm just fucking with you. That bridge is fine for 95% of players. I actually do change from unwound/wound G on some guitars though, when I'm going from roundwound to flatwound in particular.

I thought I had enough guitars. But now that I've had a week or two to think about it, maybe I could use one or two more
>>128937101How many guitars would you say you buy a week?
>>128937108not enough! but don't ask my wife
>>128937108Between gifts I've received and my own purchases, it's been a guitar every 60 days this year.
I've decided that I want a Ibanez ICHI10 or Q54. That should satisfy my desire for more guitars.
>>128935671Fender lacks beauty
>>128937168But does it?
>>128937199It should. Then I can concentrate on getting myself just the right tube amp for noodling at home without worrying about being lynched by my neighbors. I like my monoprice 40w and all but I can't help but think there might be a better amp out there somewhere

He entered the Burger King not as a customer, but as a man asserting the sovereignty of appetite. He ordered without hesitation. Three Whoppers. No sides. No explanation. The cashier nodded, recognizing in him the quiet certainty of someone who did not ask permission to exist.He ate standing up. Efficiency mattered.From there, he drove to Guitar Center, not because he sought approval, but because the instruments awaited judgment. The automatic doors parted as if compelled by the force of his intent. Rows of guitars lay before him some honest, some compromised, many pretending to be what they were not.He carried his Epiphone SG like a declaration. He did not call it Gibson out of confusion, but out of refusal. Names, like limits, only mattered if you accepted them.He plugged in.The sound that followed was not clean, nor was it correct but it was his. Reverb bloomed outward, unchecked, unconcerned with consensus. A salesman approached, then stopped. There was nothing to say to a man who had already decided.He played not for the room, but against it. Each chord was a rejection of moderation, a denial of compromise. Somewhere behind him, discomfort stirred biological, inconvenient, irrelevant. He ignored it. The self came first.When he finally unplugged and turned toward the exit, no one stopped him. They understood, dimly, that greatness does not apologize.Outside, he stood alone in the parking lot, sun heavy on his shoulders. He had played. He had eaten. He had endured.And that, he knew, was enough.

>>128936540never liked how fuzz is most often used as "even more annoying than distortion". There's better uses for it.

>>128937304I prefer fuzz or natural tube breakup. distortion is too smooth and just makes the instrument sound like it has grease on it. I want the growl

Brazilians laugh "kekekekekeke" but Sammy laughs "kakakakakaka"!!!
Bros... last night went to a punk rock gig by myself. I'm a hog farmer who plays bass at county fair type events, and don't go to the city that often. I was wearing Carhart winter pants, a black long sleeve thermal, a scarf by Armani (blue and green hounds tooth patern with embroidered hyacinth flowers), a cream coloured felt cowboy hat with a blood stained feather; from a swan I dispatched with my bare hands when one of the show hogs stomped its nest, it being stuck in the leather band circling my hat. Red leather cowboy boots, and wearing a loose fitting light blue handmade pancho, given to me by the grandmother of an Argentinian woman I empregnated during the Faulklands. Anyways, I get to the gig, and the guy at the door calls me a fairy. Go in and the band insults me. Some guy in a vest steals my hat and everybody laughs. At this point I'm crying, and its an ugly cry. One of the empathetic punks tries to comfort me, falling for the trap. I hog tie them with my conceild lasoo and farmers carry them into the parking lot. Happens to be a female punk into bdsm. We go back to my place, which is a 5 hour drive into the country. By the time we get to the farm the sun is coming up and the qualudes wore off hours ago. "I can sense her fear. She isn't so punk rock now", I accidentally say out loud, making the completely safe situation seem ominous and foreboding. She enjoys a plate of boiled ham, and rests, while I tend to the hogs. Than, we consumate our primal lust, copulating for hours. Spilling seed. Big city nights ain't what they used to be.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJ1t2S7O6M

>>128939805You can practice in your mind if focused enough.
I can’t stand the sound of pushed notes on a guitar. Just because they’re easy to do doesn’t mean you should do it
>>128939906wtf is a pushed note
>>128939911When you push the string up or down
>>128939906its called a boomer bend, anonbecause only boomers do it that waythe kool kids use a floyd rose
>the kool kids use a flo-*boomer bends your spine in half*
>>128940078floyds are boomer as fuck
how do you learn your sweep picking? i can do 3 strings at most, 4 if the shape is like 2324xx. i feel like your guitar string must stay close to the fretboard (idk the actual term where the string has some space between that and the fretboard so fingering it takes more effort)
>>128940057you mean a bend?
fender needs to make more 30" scale 6 string models

When you're picking do you ever rest your pinky on the strings or do you not have your right hand on the string?
>>128940283i mean that's the most comfy position, you get to lay down your hand somewhere
>>128940283Right hand fingers should be curled into a fist
>>128939906They're not easy to do, you're supposed to hit a specific pitch a multiple of semitones up from where you're bending. Otherwise you end up in between notes and get a sour bend
>>128940113It's called low action
