do you say "three three five""three thirty five"or "three hundred thirty five"?I say "three hundred AND thirty five" personally

>>129932971I say lol to hollowbodies
hello please enjoy my shitty walking bass https://voca.ro/195wdQjg7sah
>*mogs ur favorite distortion*
>>129932971I’ve always said three thirty five but when talking to someone who as one and I’m talking about his guitar I’ll just call it eee ess (“bring your ES” “can I play your ES” etc) because two syllables are faster than four.
I'm exchanging or selling my westone back to the store tomorrow I'm not sure.
>>129932520Oh shit!!Fuck meeee in my nostrilSo the joke is GAG FAG
redpill me on magnatone amps
>at what point did playing guitar become something you do for leisure instead of something you practice as a student?Once you make it through 32.5 hours of Absolutely Understand Guitar listening to Scotty West.Don't get me wrong, I like him and love this course but after 32.5 hours straight of listening to him talk, I want to kill myself with my broken guitar string coiled tightly around my neck. Oh and don't get me started about that fucking font in the ebook!Perhaps I should have spread it out in chunks?!?
>>129933192LMAO
>>129933100Never heard them but they arent as good as friedman
>>129933100magnatone is a company that sell amps
I've convinced myself that I really need an ESP snapper. Anyone have one themselves? I really wanna get pic related but I am a little bit worried it might come off as too flashy if I actually showed up to a gig with it. What do you anons think?
>>129933279I don’t think that guitar is flashy at all
>>129933100They where a better Valco, now idk.
>>129933279i don't get flashy from this. i get off-brand discount guitar
that's because flashy is consoomer bait and off-brands are getting good.
not a big fan of flame tops especially if they are just veneers and poly
>>129933385you're the one convinced you need to make a purchase and asking for approvalbut we're the consoomers, gotcha
So uh. Oxblood tort or black pick guard?
>>129932642can someone answer my question

>>129933433that anon is not me! but keep swinging at ghosts!
>>129933508I answered it in the last thread to be the last post
I'm going to look into a rickenbaker tomorrow. I will probably take the 100 i put on the aquatone and put it and the trade in value for the westone towards whatever i like
>>129933508You improve when you're motivated, playing, and trialing new music or concepts. Lessons aren't a free ride to get good, but if the instructor helps you fast-track then you're getting your return of investment. View teachers pragmatically. If they can or have played in ways that are enviable, they'll have insights. They can understand the game despite physical limitation. If they're a hack and demoralize you, that's important to vet.A lot of the time, just playing with others is higher level instruction.
what’s the deal with /gg/ liking Rickenbacker all of a sudden?
I'm going to look into two rickenbakers tomorrow.
Black midi, electric wizard and someone from QOTSA used rickenbakers so thats why I'm looking into them
>>129933677>RickenbakerLet me know how the buns taste. I hear Rick makes good sour dough bread too.
>>129933639Thank you ill check that out, i havent been watching any videos on bass since i dont really like the clickbaityness of them but ill look for some>>129933658Thanks i think i will just go then and see how it is>A lot of the time, just playing with others is higher level instruction.Im struggling a lot to find people to play with as none of my friends who are beginners in guitar and drums have time right now, theres a very new jazz club in my town though but they dont have any jam sessions yet from what ive seen, i might ask them about it but i think it would feel kind of shitty as a beginner
>>129933674you may find it as no surprise that people in gg only compliment what they already have or hope to some day afford. one guy traded for a used rick and hasn’t stopped posting about it since. that’s fine but it just shows they most people here don’t actually care about guitar they just care about their junk and want people to give them attention
>>129933796I only play sunburst stratocasters, then invented a rule that no one can post sunburst stratocasters.
I'm getting the urge to buy a Solar guitar but I'm nervous about buying a guitar without playing it even though I can't see any reason I wouldn't love it.
>>129933892gotta protect your investments, that’s wise
>>129933956Just test it at home and send it back if you don't like it
>>129933724We're >>129933649 having a threeway. You can come too if you like.
week 1 down of playing guitar. I played my bass mostly yesterday cause I was missing it and didn’t touch guitar for more than 10 minutes I think. I played bass again this morning and it went well, but I played guitar this evening and it went really well so I’m even more motivated to play it. picking, posture, and fretting is feeling a lot more natural
>>129933508having a teacher is always better than not having a teacherunless you straight up can't afford it or live in a village with 12 people in it, you should have a teacher
>>129933956I don't even have solar on my roof. Couldn't be bothered.

>pooped mids
I've never found ricks attractive but they look decently cool.
mids
I never trusted a pickup that screws into the wood instead of mounting onto a bracket or pickguard, that's sus. Why are you trying to get with someones wood and screw it so bad?
couldn't be me
he bases financial decisions on phallic theory
when you think a pickup sounds good it’s because it’s adding back the mids you cut
SRV played a strat into a scooped amp with a tube screamer to boost the midsme, an intelekshual, just play a strat into an orange

>>129934740I used to go to a Sam Ash as a kid and play this solo on a korina Hamer explorer through a dual rectifier half stack. https://youtu.be/iin88DxJlpo?t=139
>>129934721I throw him out onto the street with one hand because electric players are 5’5” twinks and I am an acoustic chad
>>129934780I sort of pick but I'm more of a finger guy. Any reason for them being picking bass?
>>129934649Left is the iconic hollow body Rickenbacker minus 60s style pickups and sounds great, but right is the one that I honestly like the most. I love them both and they both do their own Rick thing but also sound different but the solid body neck through one just hits different
>>129934830I think it’s an “everyone else did it” thing but the way the pickups are balanced they do sound good with a pick. you can do fingerstyle on them and it’s ok but slap is a little hard because of the hardware getting in the way
>>129934821I fucking KNEEL
>>129934867now that’s a dreadnought
https://youtu.be/O8-l7b2W1MkReplace Monica with My Nigga and the song gets funny
>>129933508A teacher would be good. If you want to take a leap in understanding learn a few songs. Find a drummer. Go work the songs out so you can play the songs start to finish with beginnings and and endings.

Kind of want this bc its so retarded
>>129935618What color>>129935678No but Tom Petty/Mike Campbell were my gateway to wanting a Rickenbacker when I was a kid and I can play a lot of TP songs cuz he’s one of my favorites. Even The Losers is one of my default “goof off on electric in front of people” songs and Two Gunslingers is one of my default “getting told to play this acoustic and sing a song” songs. Luv TP like a nigga wouldn’t believe

>>129936600i have a option on my audio interface to enable vintage, suppose to emulate tube amps. i could try that, but there could be a million variables here. from the daw im using, to the amp sim im using. also not a complete audiophile so as long as it doesnt sound completely gross idc about the small minute details only people who listen for can hear.
>>129933034emphasize the 2 & 4 more. it's subtle, but just think: >dun DUN dun DUNThis is what jazz musicians refer to as swing. It's really just a backbeat, but most people don't give a shit and it's a lot of black people saying>ya'll don't even play it right, no further elaborationThe idea is that bass in jazz music is like a pitched percussion bass drum that outlines chords. You can add the rakes and triplets as needed, but always try to nail the chord changes on beat 1, then beat 2 ACCENT. Ultimately, you'll realize that chords only go so many places (up a fourth, down a minor 3rd, up a fifth, up a major 2nd), and there are patterns that just work.You can play two of the same notes in a row, which is useful for faster tempos.Once you start to get into the high-BPM bebop zone, it's basically half-notes and sticking to the roots with an occasional fill to hint at the speed works.>jazz is boring and gay.One good walking bassline I always liked to point out is the feel in "How Many More Times" by Led Zeppelin. Look at JPJ's right hand and how it moves out a bit further on the 2 & 4 to accent the off beats:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEPog_WdPE4&list=RDwEPog_WdPE4&start_radio=1Do that, and you can play any jazz.

I don't understand why people steal my post cadence, get your own schtick fella. i've got a meme i've been brewing up but the time ain't right yet need the right tizzy to start it/
>>129937096See >>129933099 for how I feel every day.>can I read?yes>can you read?no
>>129936960I thought swing comes from swing time where the eighth notes are just the last beat in a triplet? and swinging a bass line is just adding some of those here and there
>>129937150And look where it got you, same place the tards ended up so looks like reading music ain't what makes good music.
Want to write songs but it's so daunting.I like a lot of Bowies stuff and he does such weird modulation I can't wrap my head around it.
>>129937217A trick I use is try to play one of their songs with no reference and then lean into any personal mistakes you make and try to shape the mistake back into the song and boom you have an original in the style of.
>>129937161>swingSwing means lots of things. But what are the basics entail includes a backbeat (drummer's hihat or ride pattern).Yes, triplets are correct as part of the subdivisions (ex. "add swing"). the upbeat (3rd triplet of each beat) gives propulsion. its why fast jazz tends to speed up, which is not necessarily a bad thing. However, when tempos start to go above, say 160 BPM those triplets become straight. Hence, emphasize the 2 and 4 as a bass player. >>129937195I'm having a great time and my ladyfriend yesterday told me she'd be a cum guzzler for me.

>>129937395what’s better for getting faster at chord changes: playing to a metronome that is slightly challenging or just doing them as fast as I can rubato
>>129937444>connetquot on yaaaa azzzhttps://voca.ro/18SyNvfVVus5
learn kirinji's composition, they're the best at modulating to some random chord progression like it's nothingenuff said
>>129937465For walking bass, just metronome that shit from slow to fast but keep it in time. Approach notes are your friend.Like I said, there are only some many places chords can go, and people rely on you to hear where the form is. No one’s gonna be like “bro, why did you just play the roots instead of harmonizing my harmolodics?”Once you know it with music, look away and see if you can “solo through it”. Then do it in as many keys as you like. Rhythm changes, blues changes, modal, ii V7, and giant steps (moving in 3rds, which is rare) are all the basic skills you need.Bear in mind that all of this is best played on a double bass and that you’ll never be trad if you after some pussy like Christian McBride or Ron Carter. >maybe if blackanon didn’t steal other peoples work I’d be less hostile, but that’s just they way it is fo sho

>>129940059I deleted it out of shame.I should have paid scotty to begin with.
>>129940077if you want to absolutely understand guitar, there is a price to pay
>>129940100Fair enough.On a related note, can you tell me what the difference on the chord page is between white notes that have a finger indicated (which I understand to mean optionally add to a chord, though I'm unsure if you optionally add one, multiple, or all - the way I learned G major was with optional 2, but not 3 for example)and the ones without a finger indicated.
>>1299401082nd chord is G minor3rd chord is G7If you want to ask why 3rd chord has circles without number, my guess is if you just mute those 2 strings, it'll still make G7 since both muted strings if played will be B and F notes, and those notes can be played in other strings. But honestly no one plays G7 that way and most play it 320001.
>>129940108One thumb is enough for a G 3×000
>>129940108im guessing he is saying those notes are optional because you already have the higher 3rd and 7th on the B and e strings
I would start by deleting that dogshit and disregaring anything whoever made that says because the first chord should go 2 1 3 4 not 1 2 3 4. never seen anyone hold a G chord like that. that's some dumb faggot shit right there
>cheapest rickenbaker is 2000I'm still going to play it today and see how i like it. Why are they so expensive though?
Ultimate guitar is all you need
>>129940171>>129940162>>129940161Thanks anons. Muting makes no sense because there's specifically X for those. I'll just cross reference with online sources and learn those as grip types.
>>129937606No worries, but the concept is similar because you can also play walking bass. In fact, every note underneath is like slash chords in real time. The ability to see this without thinking is what’s good.>SLIME SCHOOL OF SUCCESSYou need to play shit and know shit in your sleep. And the only way is through REPETITION.I play shit x100 in a row until I nail it fatigue out. By rep #30, your mind will wander but that’s a good sign - it’s almost like the thing you’re practicing is so easy you bifurcate your mind into the mechanical (why you’re playing) and what you’re thinking (arthoes). Bring it back into the state of watching everything you are doing, and look for patterns where you have difficulty.I got this method from Louis Armstrong who said he would hit a high C hundreds of times in a row to attain certainty in his skills. >for practicing guitar, just play the changes at a slow tempoThen jack it up incrementally by one click if the metronome at each pass. By the time you get to the ridiculous tempos, the slower shit is cake.
>>129940181>Why are they so expensive though?to price out black people. seriously... no black people play rick guitars (basses aren't guitars)
>>129940197that’s why there is an x and a circle, you need to mute if you don’t play that third because it will be a 2. would be a Gmaj7sus2add9 or some shit. idk how it would sound
>>129940198word. so it looks like time in the saddles (TITS) is the only way
>>129940175CORRECT!
>>129940201meant to say add10 but you get it
>>129940208TITS>now we’re talkingYeah, but it doesn’t take much. At 60bpm, you can play one repetition of a 12 bar blues (4 beats x 12 measure = 48 seconds) and have 12 seconds left over. If you double that at 120 bpm (playing in 1/2 time), you get twice as many reps.>Food for thoughtAs I showed with my charts (pic rel), I track my practice because my WFH day gig is working with Fortune 100 companies. However, I can grab 5-minute intervals throughout the day and working on concepts all day. I’m of the mind that 12 5-minute sessions per day is better than a 1-hour session.
Just returned my DS-2 and ordered RAT.With RAT i have overdrive, boost, distortion and fuzz in one. With DS-2 i only had, like the name says, turbo distortion, so over the top distortion with not much variance. And i dont play pub rock or punk rock much anyway so its not of much use for me

>>129940264Reaper?Also kek at the 10 languages with none except one having even one entry. Very relatable as someone who kinda can understand 6 languages to varying extent, but none except 2-3 well. I should really focus more.
>>129940282That E major with F# on bass222100 if you want to play it
>>129940300But that isn't an inversion. Can you just play a chord over anything? Fucking anarchy!
>>129940282I’ve heard that add9 slash chord is common in punk. as cool as guitar is you don’t get the true feel of playing the E chord over a bass playing the F#
>>129940284Haha>that’s an old sheet from 3 years ago>reaperI’ve since bought Ableton and it is the RAPERIt’s nice to have a reminder where I fall short. When I go into “language mode”, it changes how I learn (goal-oriented). I also do a lot of prep and put things in a “college” curriculum. It helps to have pussy as a motivator because damned if I didn’t learn French when my friend Claire visited the US.Good luck, fren
>>129940313Yeah you can even play E major with G on bass despite G being a minor third
>>129940315Why didn't he just write E7add9/F# then?
>>129940264appreciate the advice. I’m interested in bluegrass so I’ve been trying to get my chord changes down at 80 bpm. a single bass note is plucked on the 1 and 3 and a strum on the 2 and 4 for the boom chuck obviously, but the metronome only clicks on the 1 and 3. so you could look at that as 160 bpm or however you want. I did have success playing at that speed today. my lead is around 90-95 bpm so it makes me feel like I’m lagging behind on rhythm badly.
>>129940341it probably isn’t actually an add9 but the bass can imply a 9th by playing the 2 as the root. it’s not the exact same thing just a whimsical choice
>>129940349Trust the experts, they said....at the end of the day it all comes down to imagination and ear.
>>129940199It's called bass guitar
>>129940349Thanks by the way
>>129940357lol I’m sure it’s actually an harmonically equivalent real chord but the average player doesn’t know that much theory I don’t think. I’ve just seen people do that and rationalize it that way. it is fun to just use your ear sometimes even if you can’t explain what’s going on
I/II chord is always fun to play, especially if it's shaped like 5x543x and you use your thumb for the bass part
>>129940342I forgot to add that you should always try to hit ridiculous tempos. You’d be surprised how you can nail it once or twice. Aim for thrice and henceforth. Fast stuff becomes a twitch and their are limits to speed (think of a shepherd’s tone)You’ll eventually learn to not tense up. Check your breathing and don’t take a mega-inhale, just do it like a meditation master would. You’ll soon find that speed isn’t tension but economy of motion. You already do this when buttering toast or grabbing your keys for work most likely without thinking, so why not guitar and bass?
>>129940359they're not guitars though. But what would I know... I only have a PhD in instruments from fucking Oxford
Want to keep practicing playing Africa after Rick Beato's latest video (he did 20 fucking years as a producer, Steve Lukather can vouch) but I am also pondering a wank because I work later.>>129940387What's a shepherd's tone?>>129940393You do?? Ho, Paganini over here!
>Giuseppe Satriani imvented the tapping! And he was robbed! Everybody knows that!
I don’t think he has the makings of a /gg/ guitarist.
you guys see that black tranny on Beatoff's channel?
HE INVENTED HEAVY METAL IS WHAT HE DID! HE WAS A DARING ITALIAN MUSICIAN, AND IN THIS HOUSE TONY IOMMI IS A GUITAR HERO, END OF STORY!
>>129940484Mmm’boy are you fat.
People say, "how can you play with all those rings on your fingers?" and I say, "how can you play without them?"Ha ha ha. But seriously...Truth is... I've been wearing my jewelry for so long, it's become a part of me. Sure, sometimes I might flub a note or scrape against a string... I've got some necklace rash on the back of my Three Hundred and Thirty Five, but that's Rock and ROll, baby
Do you keep your pick slants always going in the same direction or do you like to mix it up?
>>129940318>It’s nice to have a reminder where I fall short. When I go into “language mode”, it changes how I learn (goal-oriented). I also do a lot of prep and put things in a “college” curriculum. It helps to have pussy as a motivator because damned if I didn’t learn French when my friend Claire visited the US.Personally I suck ass at learning languages. Always have. But the secret for me how i got to 3 good languages is immersion learning. I just need to get good enough to consume media in that language and then the rest happens by itself. Once I can listen to podcasts in their languages and/or consume media in them I'm set. Also if you can, travel there for a vacation. Makes the nebulous goal of "I wanna learn it" so much more tangible. >Good luck, frenGood luck to you too. Have this self-made gondola in response to yours anon.
>>129940313It's not an inversion, it's a sus4 with tensionTry playing this. It’s the one I posted to /keys/. It has a G/A chord|A/G|D/F#|A/C# F#7|Bsus4Bm/A||G#m7-5GM7|D/F#Fdim|Em7||G/A A ||A/G|D/F#|A/C# F#7|Bsus4 Cadd9||G/B Gm/Bb| D A/C# Bsus4 Bm7| Em7||G/A Gadd9/A| DMy favorite chord progression.Make the top note D
I've been writing songs and trying to practice singing, do any anons have any tips or advice for learning to sing? I have literally no clue what i'm doing but my singing voice is definitely not what I imagine it to be when I write lyrics lol
>>129940596Go binge every Ken Tamplin video you can find
>>129940539:DDDDDD>>129940408A shepherds tone is a note that eventually reaches a peak and then a lower note appears, restarting the process.The concept is that as things become faster, you think slower because eventually speed becomes a blur and Lo and behold, it’s slow again. That’s why you see that bebop stuff at like 200 BPM but the players are barely sweating.A good demonstration is through drums. As a tempo accelerates, eventually a drummer switches to bounce (economy of motion). He’s not thinking of individual movements but a cluster of movements in a short time span. Guitarists can do the same when comping, as you become more sparse in your playing but the implied feeling of motion (it’s a mental model trick) actually becomes easier. You end up seeing the larger patterns and the other stuff (picking hand, fretting hand) becomes automatic. Then you start asking better questions, like:>soloist just played a b9, add a slided 1/2 step chord to show I’m listening cuz his solo is up in about 7ish bars and I know that no/gg/a drummer is gonna want to send him out in styleAlright, gotta get back to work
>>129940181You can find certain models used around $1500, look for used 330s or 620s. They’re expensive because they’re still made in the same single shop they’ve always been made in, they’re not pumping guitars out from multiple factories across the globe. They’re still a comparatively small family owned business that can only pump out so many guitars a year and that brings prices up both for cost of building the guitars and supply and demand.

Do I need to be Rick Beato's illegitimate son with perfect pitch to be able to transcribe stuff like this?I figured out that the song is in A minor. I figured out the progression: Am G Fmaj7 Em. I just can't get the exact notes they're playing and I don't even know how many guitars are dangling in there. I've transcribed the 2 sections before this part, but I'm not even 100% satisfied with that and it's not as cluttered guitar wise as this part.The picture is the best I could come up for this. I assume it has 2 guitars.https://vocaroo.com/16nzHi7gykk1
>>129940803Levi Clay doesn't have Dylan's ears so, no
>>129940803no you should be able to learn stuff by ear in a couple of year of playing. if something is not mixed well or have to two of the same instrument playing over top of eachother like duet guitars it’s always going to be hard to transcribe
>>129940505Terrible larp
>>129940826I assure you that was posted unironically
>>129940641I think I can probably get the shop to go down to 1600 for the 4003. I have some stuff to trade so I might do that if I can get a good trade
>>129940842Most shops run at around a 60% trade value, it might be worth selling things on your own instead of taking a 40% hit. Before committing to a 4003 I’d spend some time playing it at the shop first, they feel and sound different than normal old Fender basses and it’d suck to spend all that money on one just to decide you don’t actually like it. But if you’re buying it used then Rickenbackers hold their value very well and if you ever sell it’ll be easy to get your money back.

Improvisation is hard.>must constantly be creating novel AND interesting rhythms and melodies on the fly>by the time 8 bars (or whatever) pass and you feel like you might have a grip on the progression and an idea of what you might want to do it's over and you've got to put a cap on it and end with a solid finisher>solo like you've got a gun to your head
>>129941016Seems like every 62 jazz bass or reissue has the wire, it looks shitty but I guess in Leo's vision it would be covered up by the ashtray anyway
>>129933279They're very pricey. I would like one though.
>>129941065you can just do ascending/descending triplets all day in random intervals
>>129941065When people say they're "improvising" they're mostly just playing patterns and licks they already practiced before
>>129941099Well, yeah, that's what I do but I seem to run out of ideas quickly and have trouble connecting ideas or I'll get locked in to one position because I'm afraid to branch out. Not that there's anything wrong with playing in one position. There should be plenty of juice to squeeze there. I just feel like, when I have to take a solo without having a plan ahead of time, less like a kid running around on the playground and more like a hostage with a gun to his head.
>>129940719I'd suggest finding what you excel at and leaning into it.
>>129941065not really. you have true improvisation which is avant garde and then you have what is commonly referred to as improvisation. if it makes you feel any better there are a few quotes in jazz about improvisation:>you can’t improvise over something you don’t know >you have to play a long time to play like yourself >improvisation to me is, I think of a note and I don’t play it >composition is improvisation slowed down, and improvisation is composition sped up sometimes the notes themselves aren’t important, it’s how you play it and the rhythm that you choose but either way typical improvisation is something you can and should practice. once you have a vocabulary you’ll need to learn to listen to the rest of the band to see when and how you can react to their playing with your own vocabulary

>>129940937Yeah it's used. My plan now is to just see how it plays in the store. If i like it, I'm going to use the return money from my westone to rent it out for 2 weeks. Then buy it in full when I can

I took a couple lessons from famous jazz guitarist James Blood Ulmer many years ago and one of the most memorable things I learned from him was " you can't learn no jazz from no book". If you don't get that, you don't get it
>James Blood Ulmerwhy the fuck did I end up with a girls name?
>>129941521It sounds more beautiful if the bass moves chromatically down from Bm/A to Em7 while keeping D as a common top note.
Aint no party like a diddy party (in the key of A)
>>129941775that’s usually true for most inversions

>>129941792?The chord progression "Bm/A| |G#m7-5GM7|D/F#Fdim|Em" includes D.pedal?
>>129941981Is that Darin Gray on Bass?
>>129942016i dont know
>>129941982I was saying inversions typically work best with chromatic or very little movement on bass. so you are always reinforcing the inversion/slash chord
>>129942034Damn
>>129942035to add, the D remaining a common note is sort of a voice leading thing that ties weird chords together through a common note or motif. bass is a singular note instrument, so the bass doesn’t voice lead in an ensemble
Is 9.9 pounds a lot for a guitar to weigh?
>>129942052>bass is a singular note instrument

>>129942052It's just that the guitar sounds better with a D on top.
>>129942179looks cool, might sound like garbage because of the rail pick pickups, imo
I played and did not like the rickenbaker that much I'm going to look for a music man stingray since someone mentioned that if i dont like that then I'll just return the westone. This guitar i saw looks crazy
>>129942078sorry I didn’t close all potential loopholes in my post for your autistic brain because I’m lazy. If you want to argue generalizations go for it
>>129942242stingray is basically the same shape as a p bass and feels similar it’s just a lot heavier
>>129940596Join a choir. I learned to sing in church choir as a kid because we had to do the tenor/ bass parts and it taught me to sing notes besides the obvious ones (the melody) and stay on pitch

>>129942495if you just play for fun you'll have naturally mastered in a couple decades no need to rush
>>129942287Yea I'm not finding anything in my price range or played anything that i liked. The rickenbaker wasn't bad there was just buzzing on the 3rd and 4th fret. Apparently that's normal on them
>>129941159I seem to excel at bedrotting and disappointing my friends and relatives, but I don't think that's a good path to take.

>>129942179Yes, have you ever played a princeton reverb
>>129942573Yeah I wanted to avoid getting another p bass. There is another rickenbaker at a GC near me a bit more pricey though. Different model than the one I played at the store i went to. I am going to try that out after work today.

a custom shop precision bass is perhaps one of the most nonsensical guitar purchases you could make but I’m still saving up for one. I just don’t know if I want one of their year specific reissues or spec my own. looks like the wait time is like 8 months

Is there a huge difference between 4003S and the 4000?
>>129943809one is called the 4003S and one is called the 4000
>>1299438094000 is single pickup, 4001 is vintage spec with thinner neck and lower output, 4003 is the one with stereo output while the 4003s has mono and some binding appointments. I think. they changed specs a lot and their naming conventions make no sense
>>129943809here you go this goes into slightly more detail but enough for your needs i imaginehttps://reverb.com/guide/buying-guide-rickenbacker-4003-4001-and-other-basses

>>129944030that’s what I would go with I just definitely would not get the single pickup variant. they actually released a short scale version last year idk if there are any floating around reverb it’s the 4030s

Is there a way to completely remove this high pitched noise from a dimed hm-2w when the guitar isnt being played. Sounds just like this video (not mine). I have a cheap ns-2 that i loop it into and it tames like 80% of it, but its still pretty loud. I really like how it sounds dimed. Here's a picture of how I usually run it in the standard mode. The custom mode is even more screechy. I got this setting from a death metal channel called Dunn. Sounds great, but I do prefer it dimed.https://youtu.be/O3gYwAI9Sxw
