Second time redoing my board this week, added the EQ back on to boost some treble and cut some bass going into the compressor to really jangle out my bright guitars. I kept the volume pedal off the board for a long time because it’s such a pain finding the right placement for it where other pedals aren’t in the way and at risk of being hit when using it but I think I’ve got it well enough on the board now

can we have an honest discussion about the bots that are posting "discussion" in here? this board is slow as fuck, this cant be real engagement. they also post nonsensical shit
>>131143280>they also post nonsensical shitExamples?
What do people like there action at? I usually lazily just go by a nickel on the low e and a penny at the high e, then eyeball the rest on my tele. I can't stand fret buzz even if the luthier says it's not audible on the amp.
>>131143280These >>131142691>>131142766>>131142776>>131142792>>131142808>>131142914 are low quality postsThis >>131143011 is on topic discussionRecalibrate yourself
>>131143353low as possible without buzz, then a little bit higher to let the strings ring out a little. that's usually a fair bit lower than what you said, idk like ~1mm ish>>131143280im real and have been spamming a fucktonidk its almost as if when you actually talk about guitar instead of just schizo flamewars then more people engage
>>131143369I recalibrated your mother last night
>>131143383My luthier is shit cause he had the low e at 1.5mm and it's still buzzed. I wish I didn't live in a small town.
>>131143383>idk its almost as if when you actually talk about guitar instead of just schizo flamewars then more people engageLol, lmao even
>>131143383>im realthats what they WANT you to think
>>131143353>>131143383>>131143423I just tend to go by sight and feel than anything else. The tech I'm forced to use when an issue arises that I can't sort out myself uses all the whizzy tools and measurements and invariably the guitar or bass ends up coming back with buzz because he's not taken into consideration any other element of the instrument except "xyz at the 12th fret".
single note lines are just chord arpeggios with extra steps
>>131143280No, we talk about guitar retard stop trying to go off topic.>>>/pol/>>>/b/

>be you>have literally any problem with your guitar>read the relevant section from this book>now you know how to fix it and understand whyhey, wasn't that easy kids im sure you can find a pdf of it somewhere too. maybe we should put one in the OP
>>131143866thank you saviour
>>131143543it sounds like your guy isn't that good or doesn't even play test a guitar after getting up to spec. or maybe he just has a wildly different idea of what constitutes a 'good' setup to you
>>131143554real but also chords aren't real
>>131143885Yeah, something like that. I've mentioned him a couple of times recently because I've had issues with set ups that have come back, but unfortunately the other 2 guitar shops in the city have closed down, so this one is all that's available if there's an issue outside of my ability (wood or electronics beyond basic harness wiring)
>>131143959like what? none of it is that hard, I guess there are some things that require special tools but they're usually cheaper than you would have to pay someone else to do the job. unless it's like, steaming off a set neck to reset it or repairing really bad structural damage i guessi remember i took a guitar to a shop once when i was like 16 to get some electronics fixed (didn't have a soldering iron at the time). and when i went to pick ot up the two guitar techs were both jamming on my guitar and being all like 'whoah, how is this so nice to play?' just cause i had done a basic setup, after that i was kinda like loathe to ever pay money for guitar tech work again, don't think i have actually. but i guess, maybe you have more money and less time than i do, ive been a poor working musician most of my life haha
>>131143999I can do a lot myself, just don't have the space, tools or time to do anything bigger
I'm gonna buy a bass guitar and play it on my lap with a bow.
I'm gonna buy an ass guitar and play it on my fap with a blow

>>131146769you should make a new nut and have a 7 string classical though fr
>>131145209The only funny shit about gg is the /bant/fag sperging out the moment someone says Evertune.
just put these bougie strings on my 339 after relevelling/crowning the (previously pretty fubar) frets. goddamn it plays so nice again now, and these strings sound so good, i was kinda disillusioned with this guitar but i guess it just needed some TLC
>>131147125I’ve been in every thread for the last 2 months and I don’t recall anyone bringing that up
>>131147125>been seething for at least a week nowI love it lmfao. I don't even remember what you're seething about either, that's the best part
what is an evertune even for and whymy impression is that it's so you can play super low with super skinny strings. why not just use thicker strings
>>131147291trying to cover up the natural drawbacks of a tremolo bridge with expensive engineering just bend until you hit the right note it’s not hard don’t rest your hands on the strings
If you were going camping for four days would you bring a $2000+ Martin? I was asked to bring a guitar and it’s my only acoustic and I’m paranoid about bringing my D18 and having it go from hot to cold outside/in a tent/in my truck all weekend. I can go buy a cheap $300 Yamaha acoustic but I feel like that would be a waste of money once the trip is over and I’m back home with my Martin.
>>131147163George Benson is awesomeAffirmation some time ago, forgot to revisit the head at the endhttps://voca.ro/153nQnA0k1mgDoes the perceived tension on the wound strings change? Assuming you had the same thickness and tuning on your previous set. I wanna try some flatwounds out but my HB guitar has a floating bridge so it might be a bother
>>131147309absolute not lmao
>>131147291it's just a new meme bridge, mostly used in modern fart string music. same with fishman pickups, one npc gets them and then all the other npc's upload the new programming
For me, it's 10/48 flatwounds in D standard
>>131147309it’s fine if you bring a hard case. sunscreen and bug spray will destroy the finish instantly
>>131147309i would literally rather just go buy a yamaha. you can keep it in a different tuning after so it's not wasted or whatever
>>131147364i wouldn’t replace a Martin with a Yamaha, they have drastically different string spacing. get an Eastman Martin copy
Is Yamaha underrated?
>>131147311well i previously had a custom set of dadarrio 12s with a wound 3rd, which was actually pretty similar guages to these. but i wanted to change to softer strings cause I'm pretty sure after next time the frets are worn out on this guitar it's gonna need a refret. the sound is kinda halfway between flatwounds and roundwounds, they're roundwound but pure nickel with a round core instead of hex like on most strings. they're mellow and smooth but still have a bit more zing than flats. for me it's really nice cause i always find normal rw strings sound too twangy and thin compared to my flats, these are a happy medium. tuned to E standard btw>>131147321damn I can't even stand 10s in E they must be soo loose in D. but u do u boo
>>131147389i mean i just meant some whatever's cheap campfire guitar
>>131147400old yamahas yesnew yamahas nohonestly there are so many good old guitars knocking around that it's hard to find reasons to buy new
What are your three favorite genres to play? Mine are hard rock, metal and punk.
>>131147400Yes and no. Old models like the SG series from the 70's/80's are MIA Gibson quality. Modern ones aren't bad guitars at all, but there's no magic there and you're getting a mid-range production guitar with no magic.
>>131147451>I said the magic thing twice after forgetting to edit the previous sentence
>the yamaha shill is back >replying to himself the same as always
>>131147440jazz, classical, esoteric alt/math rock
>>131147429totally understandable just wanted to put my two cents in because I recently went through this headache. Especially when flatpicking when you really get used to a Martin switching to a fingerstyle spec guitar really fucks you up
>>131147461i fucking loathe using the same word twice which i loathe
>>131147400not as underrated as Alvarez and specifically Yairi who is the superior Japanese guitar manufacturer. I had a DYM70 and it legitimately sounded like a piano
>>131147440Hard rock, classic rock, classic metal
>>131147400Yamaha guitars are for poor people. The low end ones are just cheap imports and are the same garbage as every other cheap import and the higher dollar ones aren't worth bothering with since at best they're just knockoffs of good guitars. At that point you might as well just buy the real thing. They're also ugly across the board.
Decided to try 9.5s. Anyone else used them before? Hopefully they're better than 10s with my shitty floating bridge.
Thursday, sluts. Post your offsets.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDerRhq4Up4>>131147309Fuck no. Get a Gretsch Jim Dandy or Yamaha.
>>131147508I used 9.5 on my strat for a while. Went back to 9s, they were cool though.

Holy shit i just found out i can put presets on this bad boy. There are dozens of artist- made presets available and you can even make your own. I just tried out a couple, they sound sooooo good especially for ambient. I love that they have a completely different sound from stock presets. This feature alone makes the pedal worth the money imo.I can post a 'roo if someone wants to hear the presets
>>131147549Hall of gay
>>131142662I've owned my first and only tube amp for like 3 years or more. Maybe 4 The tubes still haven't died. I use a load box and IRs through monitors, not a cab, so I usually have the volume cranked How long do tubes last? And can you change them yourself at home or is that dangerous?
I play 12s on my acoustic simply because hearing the guitar creak when tuning 13s scares me
>>131147555GOT HIS ASS
>>131147526I made these to see whether I could. I do actually still have both of them, just don't play anything that they're useful for these days.
>>131147558Usage in hours is a big factor here, and type of tube too. Preamp tubes tend to live longer than power tubes.
>>131147565>swamp assI hate offsets but good work on the guitars
>>131147483oh is yairi good? i have a 1960s yairi classical
>>131147558Preamp tubes can last years, it's like an incandescent light bulb. They'll sound their best new and dull with age until they finally pop. Towards the end you should be able to hear how they start sounding worse.
>>131147163Nice strangs. They really do sound better than other ones I've tried, and last a lot longer. I'm glad I bought a few sets of TIs before the price tripled.
>>131147576>>131147590What about power amp tubes?
>>131147588best imo, if it came out of the actual Yairi factory it was entirely hand made even the soundboards are hand voiced which is only available on $5k+ instruments these days. kazuo yairi was a supreme autismo, they play loud music in a room full of guitars for 3 months to break them in before they ship.
Is it worth upgrading an Ibanez Gio? Or would it be cheaper to just get a more expensive guitar?
>>131147588Not really, no. There are a few ok ones here and there but a standard Martin will still shit all over the better ones. The nips can make a good electric guitar but not so much when it comes to acoustics.
>>131147588S. Yairi or K. Yairi?There are two Yairis.
>>131147626the S stands for shitthe K stands for krap
>>131147609>they play loud music in a room full of guitars for 3 months to break them in before they shipWhich is retarded because that's not the way breaking in an acoustic's top works.
>>131147614depends on what sucks about it. if you want to replace pickups and bridge I’d get a new guitar. just tuners are cheap
>>131147636well I can’t confirm or deny about all that all I know is that it was the best sounding acoustic I ever owned. wasn’t the most comfortable to play
>>131147609>they play loud music in a roomIt's Beethoven, specifically because his music has the greatest frequency range.
>>131147291Keeps the strings in tune, maintains a set tension between the strings and the springs in equilibrium depending on how you set it. Supposedly you can smack a low tuned note as hard as you want without it going way sharp. Caveat though is that vibrato and bending is neutered with that, unless you fiddle with the mechanism to allow for it.>>131147423Neat info thanks. I'll try some next time. As for refret stainless steel frets are breddy gud - they do still wear though.>>131147614Cheaper version of the Ibanez AZ got released recently I think. Check em out

>>131147955>>131147995yeah it's like 61 years old or something you will be leaking juices at that ageit honestly sounds amazing. it's currently tuned an octave down (with appropriate strings ofc) and it's louder and deeper than my acoustic bass

once i was a man of excess, a man of less taste.now i am a man of class and restraint.i didnt need 6 electric guitars. i didnt need a variety of sounds. all i needed was the ES..

Things are not going well and this just adds to it. I don't even think I can record this weekend with my rc 600 busted. I am way too broke to fix any of this...but hey, at least it wasn't the black one. Tbh I feel kind of closure. I know you can fix these things but like damn I had this thing when I was in a group home, it's cool but when I got it I didn't know shit about pickups and now I don't really like P90s that much. I got the guitar cause it was the same colors as Shia LaBeouf's transformer, but I honestly feel like while it served me well, I should move on. Where can I sell/trade my collection of disabled guitars?
>>131149118wrong pic, meant to post this
my guitar came in. I haven’t played in 9 months because of a hand injury. I can barely even make chords anymore. this sucks
>>131149127cost of a neck repair is half the new price of that Epiphone. I think you’re fucked m8
>>131149127I genuinely don’t understand how this kind of stuff happens. How hard is it to secure you’re guitar when you set it down or invest in a $20 set of strap locks?
>>131149127Gibson/Epi design feature.
>>131149172yep lol. >>131149191if i ever post the video you'll knowI got to pack up my computer till tomorrow cause im staying somewhere else and it's being brought there. The real question is, what guitar do I get to replace it? Not sure what kind I want but maybe a strat. Thank fuck I have the black Les Paul one in the meantime.

is a relic guitar a guitar that is artificially all fucked up at the factory?i don't like that for some reason, a guitar should be all worn out and fucked up from use, it's stolen valor.
>>131151921Nice. Is it yours?I find the 135/137s to be very under-the-radar. Awesome guitars.
>>131152280yes and it's stupid, it's like those designer jeans that look worn out for people with sedentary lifestyles
Is it based or cringe /gg/?
>>131152376>cheap superstrat in limited edition anal fissure finishpretty based
>>131152280>>131152364Insane how relic guitars sell for significantly more than the standard models, while b-stock sells for significantly lessCan someone with a bigger brain please explain that to me?
>>131152405a relic was the result of too many working hoursb stock is the result of not enough
>>131152376i always preferred the more classic kinda style. super strats just aren't my vibe i guess
>>131152405people with lots of money are dumb. guitar companies exist not to make guitars but to make money
I feel so dirty for liking pic related (and black guitars with gold furniture in general)
>>131152521imo this is the peak of lester polfusses
>>131152405i own a b stock, it had a mistake with the paint job so they sold it for 500 bucks when it was originally 999. i love that thing.
Easy songs are the most fun to play.
can we get a wellness check on kurtlover?
>>131152574you're wrong, songs that are a little challenging feel the most fun to play once you get it down perfectly.easy songs are boring as hell and tedious.
>>131152549My dream would be one with gold plated silver furniture, so that scratches and wear slowly reveal the silver underneath as the plating wears through
>>131152591You need to get into the groove, brother.
>>131146769this is supposed to be a safe for work board, you sick fuck.jannys!!!!
I hate the Red Hot Child Predators, but Can't Stop is probably the most fun song to play
>>131152598>My dream would be one with gold plated silver furniturethat's all of them?
>>131152623Including the frets and pick guard, I mean.
>>131152574for me it's Xmas carols
>>131152059Yes, you do. That's why you come here and beg for attention from them like a woman. Dumb nog
>>131152591maybe a little of both. I think as long as it still sounds good to an audience the hard ones are more fun. I’ve realized that playing shit people actually like is the most fun and people like david grier that play weird and complex shit just because they can is boring and only other self-wanking instrumentalists in the know care about it. it’s like going to the gym and lifting just to get compliments from other dudes
>>131152766i just think the act of playing a challenging song is more stimulating, i get bored strumming chords even if people like it, i don't play for other people so i don't care what they like so i can't relate to that kind of enjoyment. for me trying to learn a pop song or something like that is so boring that i can't focus on learning it. when it comes to a challenging song it's like playing a video game you lose track of time with it and shit. and i really like the act of string skipping, it's bouncy and fun and it rarely happens in like a pop song or most stuff that is popular like a rock song that everyone knows.
>>131152838do you jam with other people?
>>131152877not anymore, i did years ago.but we would play challenging songs, only one time for some whores birthday we played her favorite gay ass song, i think it was a never shout never song, it was boring as shit.
>>131152574this is true for bass but not guitar
>>131152642that wouldn't be too hard to do yourself beyond the frets. at home electroplating is easy and metal pickguards are readily available. ofc gold plating fret wire wouldn't be hard (it'd wear crazy fast though), but you'd lose a decent amount of plating during the dressing process. gold tone fret wire (evogold) is a thing, but it's solid color all the way through (and is expensive). if you really want it to happen you can make it happen. follow your dreams or whatever
>>131152584>random namefag who appears for 2 threads and then never speaks again #526
>>131153000they all can't be me, don't worry /gg/ i'm eternal, I'm here for you, I love you, because I am (You)
i hate the feeling of wires on my headphones or the guitar cable when practicing i think I have autism
>>131153016i know but if you're gonna be a namefag you at least have to commit to it, you can't back down like a little pussy
>>131153022Me too, it's annoying
Can anyone recommend any brands of strings. I've used Ernie Balls, and I think they're good. I'm trying out some NYXLs and I don't think I like them. Luckily I got them a few month back on sale for $8. I'm thinking maybe I should try some flat wounds because I play a lot.
>>131153083Curt Mangan monel strings. I use em on everything.
>>131153083your frets will thank you in the long run
Eb standard is miles better than E standard
ni/gg/as will drop 4k on a guitar then slap $7 ernie ball sacks on it
>>131153196true
>>131153083thomastik infeld>>131153114these are pretty good too. i prefer the TI set... but it's more spenny>>131153196until you gotta play with other musicians
>>131153196i don't like how loose the strings feel
>>131153275why whats wrong with eb standard when playing with other musicians?
>>131153207lol nobody here has dropped $4k on a guitar
>>131153350just annoying because it ends up meaning everyone is having to mentally transpose all the time. unless you're all tuned down which is fine, but if I'm jamming with people for the first time, writing songs or doing live improv it's just not worth the hassle, cause everyone else is gonna be in standard.
>>131153365if only you knew how bad things really arei just dropped 2.5k and I have another that's like 1.5k, but most of my others were like ~500ish
>>131153395>I have not dropped $4k on a guitarWe know. That's literally what he said.
>>131153395nah but plenty of ppl here have. they have like the same overpriced les paul, tele or strat in 5 different colours lol
>>131153423>plenty of ppl here havename 5
>>131153365hyperbole is hard innit, do you sit waiting in the bathroom for an employee to wash your hands because the sign said "Employees must wash hands?"
>>131153423>>131153414oopsie wrong (you)there's a lot of people with more money than talent who think more expensive gear will make up for it. that's why expensive guitars exist
>>131153426Anonymous, Anonymous, Anonymous, Anonymous, and Anonymous (You)
>>131153433>things only talentless poor people sayYup.
>>131153426The dude with the rosewood Tele is the only one I can think of. I don't really know if he even spent that much on it either. The fat black nog might've spent close to that on the 345 but I kinda doubt that too. Both those guitars were probably bought used in the $3500 range.
>>131153451oof guess i struck a nerve mr wall decorations collector
more expensive doesn't mean better guitar btw
>>131153462>things only talentless poor people sayI know. I've been to Guitar Center before.
>>131153466then why do people buy them
>>131153462You're thinking of Eric? None of his shit cost him more than $1500 used. All of his stuff is mid tier Facebook marketplace used gear.
>>131153365I bought the Sweetwater select Martin hd28 ($4300) but traded for a 1972 p bass. I’ll buy another one next year because I really miss it
>>131153488>buying newlol that's a $3k guitar the minute you pressed the buy button
>>131153479because they like the way they look and maybe their guitar idol plays it, both valid.My $300 2012 mim strat does everything the $3k custom shop does sans two point trem that is irrelevant to me because i block it anyway.
Godin.thoughts?
>>131153505oh and i guess one more fret, american necks have 22 for the most part. guitar gets incredibly gay past the 18th fret anyway
>>131153508more like what godin's name were you thinking amirite
>>131153500buying used is for cucks. you want a guitar that another guy's used?
>>131153526you can buy used gear that hasn't been used at all for pennies on the dollar, all you're admitting to is the fact that your retarded
if you're buying a guitar because of its resale value you do not like that guitar.
>>131153534it's not used then is it? you fucking idiot
>>131153535i've bought all kinds of used gear and flipped it for a small profit. rarely have i ever just broken even. the trick is to anticipate what the soibois on reverb will start going after next, after that it's easy to clean up because they'll pay out the nose for the hot new 'thing' that gets popular on reddit
>>131153548yes, it's used, you idiot. if you can't sell it new with a factory warranty it's used gear
>>131153576guitarist =/= guitar dealer
>>131153576I've already got a job I'm not spending any time listing or searching for "deals". I see something I like I buy it and keep it for life, if I need more money I go to work. This hustlers mind set steps over dollars to save a penny.
>>131153598in the future it'd be nice if your replies made sense
>>131153611asking a bit much around here desu
>>131153588lets take this this in for moment>you can buy used gear that isn't used at allLMAO see how much of a retard you sound like?
>>131153625you're being obtuse as well as the other anon.He's saying yes it is technically "Used" but all the person selling it did was pluck it a few times and keep it in its case, its condition is still pristine, you're arguing semantics while agreeing on the actual principle.
>>131153607you sit in /gg/ all night spamming vocas, let's not start pretending you're someone else after you've run out of stupid things to say>>131153621believe me, i know>>131153625>you can buy used gear that isn't used at allcorrect. you being too dumb to understand context isn't the epic own you think it is
>>131153611sorry i thought you'd understand the does not equal signmusicians want to devote their lives to making music. flipping guitars on reverb is a waste of time to the musician, because time spent not making music is never coming back. you are not a musician, so you think musicians are dumb for not devoting their lives to making money. neither viewpoint is objectively right or wrong, but you just have different priorities in life. so arguing apples vs oranges is folly
>>131153631i love you bby. i concede my argument
>>131153636You've got me confused lil ni/gg/a, I deliver that za my guy, ever wonder why you ain't see me from 3-11?
>>131153662does that mean pizza or weed?
I want 12 string but too niche and expensive
>>131153651oh, i see. you lost the argument so now you're trying to switch over to some irrelevant strawman you came up with to cope. lol this won't work, sorry>>131153662fair enough
>>131153679if only they didn't have double string tension i would love one too
>>131153683>fails to understand simple concepts even when things are explained in detail>invents alternative scenario to preserve fragile egobased retard
>>131153676Pizza. I deliver for a local joint $18 an hour + delivery fees and tips I end up making about 40kish a year? part time obviously.
>>131153723you should branch out and do both simultaneously, would be very efficient
>>131153723Well i'll be damned.
>>131153717>no valid argument or rebuttal >seethes insteadi graciously accept your capitulation anon
>>131153731there is like no money in selling weed, especially here where its legal, why would someone buy street weed when you can get it from a dispensary?Cocaine is where the money is but then you need a gun and dealing with tweakers.
Comfortably Numb and Wish you were here are so fucking well done I really want to know how they were produced
>>131153500Martins hold their value incredibly well and typically appreciate
>>131153679From what I've seen,the danelectro ones are pretty good. Dave Gregory of XTC tried one and liked it.
1st 4 never shittin/gg/ cum#IBC#BlackCherryIntact#NeverBeenRaped
>>131153780no, aside from a few high dollar collector editions new martins don't appreciate once they're on the used market
>>131153795it will never not be funny
>>131153757oh that's a shame. pizza and stoners overlaps a lot better than pizza and cokeheads
>>131153795? sorry what does this have to do with guitar?
>>131153823/gg/ lore iykyk
>>131153823If it was up your ass you'd know
>>131153795you know what, its actually becoming funny
