bass is just so cool
i left my bass at my mom's because it's pretty easy to just pick up and play and i thought it would be fun to play together when i visit. never happens, told her to bring my bass back when she visits later this month

My retired father, with well over a million bucks in the bank, decided he wanted a guitar recently. Never played one, but I got him a P bass for Christmas and it awakened something in him.He calls me the other day;>holy crap, I was looking for guitars online, and a bunch of ones I liked are almost a thousand dollars!Uh yeah it's not the 60s anymore, pops.He SHOULD get a Les Paul just to flex on me, but he's probably gonna get a Squier strat. Which is cool, but c'mon. Treat yo'self.
>>129462739Bass is objectively the better instrument but more people go to guitar cause it's higher in the mix
>>129463026Buy tools that inspire. Don't let the value get in the way of having a good experience. Too cheap and poorly setup, it's a bear to play. Too expensive and pampered, you'll lose interest because you don't have chops or have to worry about damaging it.
>>129463023One of my favorite bass lones of all time
>>129463074you should never worry about damaging something nice you bought from regular use. obviously dont purposefully abuse it, but regular wear and tear look great and make it feel like its yours.
>>129462798Another one bites the dust is usually the first one people learn, which is also pretty close to smoke on the water (it’s in G, but just play it in E for now).

Got myself an acoustic guitar for the first time earlier this week. I learned to play exclusively on electric guitars though hadn't played for years, over the past 6 months I've picked up playing again and improving with my gf's Gretsch. I've always wanted an acoustic, and a guitar to call my own again so decided to get myself a cheap Eko Ranger VI, and it has sounded great, and up until today I had been pleasantly surprised with its sound considering how cheap it was. Unfortunately, this morning I heard it fall over in the other room and hit the floor with a bang. It seemed fine at first, but now the first fret buzzes and makes a cacophony of reverberation when played. It's the worst on the E, A, and D and is not as noticeable on G,B,E. It is not present when the strings are played open, and it decreases in buzziness the further away from fret 1 you get; by the fifth fret it's not noticeable. What do you think the problem is? I've got Amazon prime bringing me an Allen key tomorrow to try adjusting the neck, so hopefully that will help but if not, any thoughts?
>>129463630How do I come up with better bass lines? Is there some shape or progression that helps with it?
Do you ever practice gratitude for the enormous wealth of education that is freely available to you? It wasn't always this way
>>129463740local guitar teachers have always been available. i don't practice gratitude for grifters
I want to get a Russian big muff v7 but I cant even play a chord yet.
>>129463630It depends on whether it serves the song. Like, the slinky bassline from Heaven 17 fits the frenetic speed of 80’s excess. It also has contour, going from low to high that works with the pauses in the vocals. In essence, the bassline works as a hook.Conversely, another good bassline is Metronomy’s “The Bay” which is a dead simple line, but the staccato notes fit the refined air that the song is going for.https://youtu.be/9PnOG67flRAPersonally, I like basslines that push the envelope and aren’t just roots. One of my favorite lines is actually a keyboard line from The Dismemberment Plan, but you’ll see that it nails that melancholy really well:https://youtu.be/cMLiFpecgVg
>>129463715Meant for >>129463852
>>129463852I love DmP that whole album is amazing. I think the problem with my lines i try and improvise is not knowing if my bass line is currently pushing the song or not. I'm trying to learn how to not play the root all the time because moving away can sound cool but knowing the right way to move around once you're away is the hard part for me
>>129463950Yeah it’s a great album. Perfect for cold November walks alone.You can usually do a riff-based line, which is usually repeated. Or there’s a glue-like line, which melds all the other elements together. Others can be chordal, which is rare but see Jaco and Chris Squire.The most common notes are octaves, 5ths, or b7th lines. Listen to Boz Scaggs “Lowdown” and hear how simple it is, but that high fill serves as a way of signaling to the listener that the phrases is repeating. It’s also anticipatory, as the high A is part of the second A chord, but the D -> E hammer on sets up the E pedal.(It changes up a little bit, omitting the A from slime to slime):https://youtu.be/I-hKBmTAADo
>>129463713loosen the truss rod a 1/4 turn. if that doesn’t fix it either post photos or have someone look at it. preferably photos of the nut and bridge
>>129464094>post nutclarity
>>129463715I recommend studying James Jamerson. Great sounding bass is 90% rhythm
>>129463765I think I'll just go with the reissue so I dont break the bank. I am going with these pedals cause a noise rock guitarist i like uses them. I might wait on the metal zone because I tried it before in a store and it sounded crazy but the others I'm definitely getting.
This position is impossible for me
Damn this progression is really cool:https://youtu.be/A1FC4eH3-eM?si=KFgmHPJDv7WBjAkm&t=94
>>129464135a big muff is a good first pedal. get a RAT too. they sound amazing together. learn how to play a chord though ffs
Stop relying on amp distortion. Play clean and learn how to gain stage
>>129464329i don't know what this means. gain staging and amp distortion are not mutually exclusive. your amp distortion is one of your gain stages
>>129464329i h8 when it sounds so distorted it gets in the way of the melody.
>>129464313I had one of those for bass for a bit. That was a good one too. I'll check out reverb for it. Im working on learning chord shapes. I won't be able to bar chords for a long time so I'm just gonna do my best in trying to learn what I can for now. My friend who plays guitar says you don't even need to know how to bar to play chords good. So learning open chord positions is the first thing I'm doing once I'm comfortable with scales
>mod shop tele finally shipped
>>129464403open chords sound great through a big muff. you can play around a lot with an open D adding melody with your pinky
>>129464329>clean channel>dirty channelcan't imagine playing an amp without this
>>129464329What is gain stage, my amp only has clean channel
All my overdrive and fuzz pedals sound like poo when I play them through the dirty channel
What is the cheapest decent bass I can buy?
>>129464459fuzzes usually sound pretty good pushed into an amp just on the edge of breakup or a crunch setting. try fiddling with amp gain.
$120 BC Rich Mockingbird and a Line 6 Spider red face combo. Easy ass.
>>129464466a used Squier cv jazz and a setup
I get all my gain from my amp.
For me its stacking overdrives
>>129464589for me its impersonating chris barnes at 3am with paper thin apartment walls
for me it’s having my own sound. trying to ape someone else is gay
Ive made over $2 million playing a MIM Strat, Boss SD1, and an 80 watt Roland Cube professionally
>>129464477the rule of stacking gain is keep the gain low. my rat's gain is at 9 o'clock but it sound enormous pushing the big muff
>>129464637>im a millionaire guys trust meIf you were you wouldnt need that squier
>>129464681I can play any piece of shit guitar incredibly well. The fuck have you ever done?

>speaking in frets
>>129465729First day discussing guitar?0-3-5 has more pull than any amount of music theory and that's just facts.
>>129465736when you use numbers people think you are talking about intervals not frets. when they realize you are talking about frets they disengage because you are not to be taken seriously
>>129465630FAnyway, give me a review of the vocaroo.>I’ll take you all oneven the military dude
>>129465753No they don't.when someone sees 0-3-5 they do not think of intervals holy shit what kind of ESL country are you from

>>129465780Its a simplification because once you learn how to play guitar you can extrapolate and fluff chords based off one note. When I learn new songs I just learn the melody the harmony is self evident.
if it doesn’t matter then why defend it

Is there a way to move open chord shapes up the fretboard without a bar?
>>129465984no
>>129465984remove two strings from the voicing and use one finger per string
>>129463002I did this a few years back. It's worth it! Everything's easier to play, and nothing hurts anymore. If you plan to play for the rest of your life, I couldn't recommend a better commitment.
>>129465719>x1010988x and x1212111010xI'm sorry I don't understand this, do you mean frets? Why 2 x's if you have 5 on there
>>129466109sorry the last 2 x's was my fault, i'm kinda used playing barre chords with no top and bottom
>>129466078I learned guitar so I could jam with people that only know how to strum cowboy chords and beat them to the chord changes. guitar has very poor ergonomics. you definitely should work on having the best technique you can to avoid living with lifelong crippling arthritis and joint pain

>>129463713>>129464094The allen key arrived and it just doesn't want to budge, I don't want to use force but from what I've read it shouldn't be this stiff. Also the other thing I've noticed is that the bridge pin on the e string seems like its pulled out a couple of mm higher than the others, when the E is fretted at the 1st fret it sounds like the string is just slamming into a fret or something.
I really want to fulfill my childhood dream and get a pre 2000s bc rich, but now i think they all are ugly ;_;
>>129471611is it a two way rod also check to see if the 2nd fret is lifting
>>129471501Singing the note and naming the note and stating the scale degree of the note are all useful.
>>129471576ignore this pseud
>>129471629I am trying to turn anti-clockwise as that is what I read would be the way to go with my problem. Also I've used a card and tried rocking to check that one isnt too high and it isn't.
>>129471626Those kind of guitar shapes are so gay they scream>Le epic metallll, those who are about to LE ROCK! WE SALUTE YOU!
every OD pedal on the Fender Tone app sucks except for Big Fuzz
>>129471646ok if it’s a two way rod it could already be maxed out in the other direction. in which case your only course of action is heavier gauge strings
>minor aloudwhat did they mean by this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6mQi3X1IAo
>>129471684I just sighted fretted the 1st and 14th frets simultaneously and checked for a gap between the string and the 7th fret and there was no gap, so what does this indicate and what would be the fix?
>>129471658for me, it's the fender stratocaster. a humble instrument
>>129471698guitar needs relief. I’m assuming the person that touched that guitar before you saw the same thing and loosened the truss rod as far as they can and now it’s maxed out. what kind of guitar is it and what gauge strings on it that determines my next suggestion
>>129471729It is brand new Eko "Ranger NA 6" bought last week in a guitar shop. It says online "Strings: Steel. Original strings: 11 52 Bronze." It wasn't doing this before it fell over...
>>129471743loosen the strings and put the guitar on the counter. put one hand on the bottom edge and use your other to gently push up and down on the end of the headstock. you should see it flexing. you can try this to see if the truss rod is stuck in the channel. you’ll hear some gentle popping if it is.
I could just as easily plug headphones into my amp or multifx, and yet I find myself craving these every time they go on sale. Tell me I don't need them.
>>129471845i have a spark neo, similar thing. it's nice to practice without cables
>>129471845I have the bass version of these. they are extremely uncomfortable and the software suite has very little in the way of effects. they’re serviceable for bass because bass sounds good direct anyway but the guitar version of these have awful reviews. they do some cool things like spatial effects but are honestly just a waste of money. only get these if you travel a lot
>>129471845if you can't stop yourself from consooming something this redundant you are truly lost
Found a good chart for open chords. Cool
>>129471885they do a good job of fitting a very niche use case. I bought mine 5 years ago; there are probably much better options now
>>129471900i thought open chords were for acoustic players, then i got a big muff and they sound massive

Anyone ever use the ehx grand canyon pedal?

>>129462798Sade - Smooth Operator
>>129472039Yes, people can play 12-string guitars. I didn't say they sounded bad. They are not worth the trouble.
>>129472173even playing alone in your house with no one around with a cranked amp running through a cabinet is retarded. this is meant for performing to a crowd, not for your personal listening. even gay headphones like these make more sense then larping that you are a rock star
>>129472069>caged system is just the major scale started on different stringsNo it’s not.The CAGED system is just understanding the most common open chord shapes and how they can be moved around the guitar. Start with these basic chords;>Cmajor>Aminor>Gmajor>Eminor>DmajorThese are the basic chords form in guitar. Most can be made major or minor, but some don’t work well with open strings. The idea is that if you know that the location of these chords, they can be moved around the guitar (and you may have to use your first finger as a capo). For example, If you move a Gmajor (320033) chord pattern up to Bb (3fretsup), you can find the Eb and F chords in that position (which were originally C and D, respectively). However, if you play without that first finger capo, open strings need to be muted or selected for consonance. This is noticeable with the aforementioned Bbmajor chord as:> (320033 pattern -> 650066) as compared to>(320003 pattern -> 650006)The second pattern has a B natural against the Bb. The same goes for the Ebmajor (originally x32010), which a unison open G and an E natural (x65040).Where CAGED shines is moving these chord fragments around or using it with a capo in unfamiliar keys. The above example of Bb works for Big Star’s “Seventeen”, whereas the moveable pattern against open strings is really useful in a single like Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away”, right before the electric guitars come in (it’s a Dmajor CAGED chord).There, I saved you hours. Please donate to your local slime bank and help these n/gg/as out
>>129472309CAGED isn't for playing chords anon, its for melody. you really are retarded. the chords are just where the shapes come from
>>129472273>They are not worth the trouble.Might as well sell me the Louisiana Purchase.They are also good for jams because most people can’t play them worth dick. I used to play mine in Open C and that thing was the voice of God.
>>129472315>you really are retarded.The only one retarded is your mom when she chose not to abort you in the toilet bowl.Scale patterns are for melody. I have never used caged for melody because the scale has all notes in the key. Unless I’m doing chord melody, holding down shapes and putting melody notes in between is inferior to seeing the scale. And if you need this system to find out where the root of a scale is, it’s already too late. To illustrate this, where is a G on the B string? Can you build it from the root in open position? Now, I understand the CAGED pattern for a particular chord - for example, finding Gmajor in the CAGED forms:[form -> root note location]>C -> 10th fret A>A -> 10th fret A>G -> 3rd fret E>E -> 3rd fret E>D -> 5th fret DIf you combine those chord patterns WITH scale patterns, THEN you can play melodies with ease.>apologize
>>129472432>I have never used caged for melodythen you learned it wrong anon. learning the CAGED chords is literally the first step and you stopped there
>>129472444>t. professional musician for thirty years, played on multiple continents with world class playersNo, you’re right. How did I EVER live under such delusions? My God, I have to refund all those ticket and merch sales because I learned wrong. I HAVE BEEN LIVING A LIE
>>129472468maybe you can afford more meth that way
>>129472444>maybe you can have a little timeoutThe adults are speaking
finally
>>129472302I enjoy playing electric guitar unplugged, but it ruins technique like pressing too hard and not properly muting strings which produces unwanted noise that's only noticeable with distortion.>129472240To be perfectly honest I first need a new guitar because the old one was never playable to begin with and now costs more to repair and set up than the price I bought it for.Alas, it seems like with each passing year all models get more expensive but qualitatively worse with next to no one around for a good setup. Is the guitar market doomed?I'm looking for maximum playability, like I've been struggling with just basic power chords for years because my wrist tires and hurts easily and I've seen all the videos about not pressing too hard, using the pinky instead of the ring finger, keeping the wrist straight, but then my fingers can't spread far enough. So how playable is like a 60's vintera mustang nowadays? Also ashamed that apparently I can't do what little Japanese girls can do.
>>129472573i guess you don't exactly have a reputation to uphold here. if you want to run to the mods when someone points out you're wrong and retarded then go ahead lmao

>>129472309caged is ok for a beginners tool but you really should learn your intervals because that teaches you caged anyway
>>129472432chords and scale patterns are the same thing because. so are keys. so are melodies. they’re all intervals
>>129472573announcing a report is a bannable offense
I use CAGED for visualization. Martin Miller taught me
I hereby formally announce my love for playing guitar.
>>129472577Nice. What's it look like under the pickguard? Curious if it's still routed for a neck pickup.
>>129472830probably not the case here but i've seen guitars like this that still have a neck pickup, it's just underneath the pickguard
>>129472577Congrats, Anon. Why is the neck blacked out?
>>129472936you can get fully rosewood from the mod shop
>>129472936ebony. rosewood is brown

>>129472830yeah it's still got the standard tele route>>129472936rosewood
>>129473073>rosewoodNice. What is the body wood and pickup? Was it all custom order?
>>129473144alder body, v-mod pickupit's a mod shop build
>>129473291love the v-mods in my strat
>>129466320>i want a 24 fret p bassSpector, Yamaha Broadbass or Warwick Streamer, anything else will be inferior and disappointing
>>129473338any idea which BB model is 24 frets? wasn’t aware it had one
>>129473381apologies, I just had the best P-bass in mind and forgot about the 24 frets lmao.BB sadly only comes in 20/21 frets.Warwick and Spector are the kings of 24 fret p-basses, unless you want to go into giga boutique wankery like Fodera or Adamovic.
>>129473411damn that sucks. I would’ve really loved a 24 fret bb
>>129473416I mean the precision bass sucks in the upper register anyways, which is why barely anybody has ever built one with 24 frets unless they added another pickup to make it more functional again. There's lots of P-J basses that fit your requirements but they've all been Spector knock-offs because he did it first.If you got Kiesel money I would highly suggest going for Spector instead, Kiesel basses aren't as well regarded as their guitars and you can get something out of this world if you pick one of the specialized bass makers instead. Warwick has the streamer and the fortress if you don't like the look of spectors and they're just as great since they stole the design from Spector and got sued for it.
>>129473479appreciate the advice. Yamaha makes a Nathan East model with 24 frets but I don’t want a 5 string. I thought it would be fun to mess around with but I guess I’ll just stick to a regular P.
I have a fender p bass right now. Looking to get a another one. Thinking rickenbaker
>>129473611Eww
312th post
>>129473611probably the only bass I’m ok with someone playing with a pick
>>129473611why not get that new Dingwall P?Giving the e string more tension and clarity sounds like it would work great on the heavy mid tone of precision basses.
>>129473691these are really comfortable. my lgs had one. I’m really not big on active pickups or modern designs tho
playing guitar is fun :) im glad i started
>>129473748it's passive, considering it costs the same as an American (by mexicans) made Fender shitplank it is absolutely superior.
>>129473780well I’d hope so those are made in Indonesia. Their Canada ones are $3700+
>>129463043> No, it's people's ears that are wrong.Guitar is better because it sounds better and is more fun to play but go ahead and cope as much as you want.

Those who can play, play guitar. Those who can't, play bass.
>>129474010actually studies have shown that people are more motivated and groove more to instruments in the bass register because that’s the way everything sounds in the womb. unfortunately you are objectively wrong on this one
