Yeah, but you're compared well stationed basswood to epiphone's cheap laminate that isn't even well dried. Something like that is guaranteed to dampen the vibrations, because it doesn't have enough dimensional stability.

luthier/amp tech/dealer reporting
monitoring thread if anyone has gear related questions
Bought a Cort G250 for lefties, will be "delivered" to me within the next few days, will I regret it? Originally wanted to get a Yamaha Pacifica 112J, wasn't available though.
How do those 2 compare?
>>60180507
Today i discovered the intonation on my acoustic was out of wack. Everything is just a little sharp. I'm using heavier strings than I used to and the action is a bit high. Could i just adjust the truss rod to straighten the neck a bit?
>>60180507
I want to replace the volume pot in my Blues Deluxe with a logarithmic one because 75 percent of the amps volume is in the first 3 (out of 12, thanks Fender) notches. I have a little electronics knowledge but am wondering how hard you think it would be for me to change it myself, or if i should take it to someone?
>>60180507
If I pull a couple of power tubes out of an amp, would I have to re bias the ones staying? Any other tips or things to watch out for when pulling tubes?
Hiwatt Tube Tremolo. Anyone had one?
I've been playing for almost a year. How far along should I be?
>>60180969
You should be trying to make small goals with your guitar playing and work to achieve them. Its all up to you.
Stuff like transitioning from chord to chord smooth and cleanly, getting through a whole song, alternate picking, metronome practice, etc. Its all about eventually being a well rounded player with the chops to play the things you love.
I'm still working on tremolo picking for metal shit.
I can do it sloppy, but I have a ways to go until I'm Dino and I can bang shit our cleanly
>>60180679
Heavier strings need a slightly longer scale length to into nate properly, but the high action is likely more responsible. Tightening the truss rod will bring the action down. Don't adjust the rod at tension. Detune the thing. You can also compensate the saddle as in the pic I posted.
>>60180861
It's a pain in the ass but you can do it if you're good with a soldering iron and comfortable removing the entire circuit board. The pots are pcb mount 16mm iirc. Just jumper in a new full size one.
>>60181074
Take it slowly, one day at a time. Do just enough as to not get frustrated or burn yourself out. Work the songs in small pieces, play the shit out of them until you got those pieces down, then put them all together.
>>60180938
Are you referring to the fender twin half power mod? If so, yes it needs to be rebiased. You also have to disconnect one speaker so the output section sees the appropriate reflected impedance. Unless you know what you're doing, you should leave power tubes alone. Even in cathode biased amps, sometimes the cathode resistor value needs to be changed to set the proper plate current. You can swap preamp tubes freely though given they are the same pinout.
I dont understand how my hand is supposed to be for this? My index finger can keep the two strings down but the way they have to do it means my middle finger touches a string its not supposed to
>>60181204
Yeah the Fender Twin, this is exactly what I need to know. Thanks!
>>60181268
You have to curl the middle finger over and come straight down on it.
What kind of a pick should I use with bass? I play with my fingers mostly but some songs just sound better with a pick
>>60181150
Last week I was working on a kinda techy bit for a song I was recording for shits, and I was having trouble playing it, so I started getting drunk and trying to do it. It wasn't helpful, but I woke up the next day and could play all of it perfectly, over and over and over again, and I still can.
Anyways, not talking in terms of instrumentation, but artistically and conceptually, I imagine my best whenever I'm drunk (which is mostly depressive stuff anyways)
>>60181412
a big ass one for those big ass strings. A thin/small on doesnt do the job for me
>>60181282
There are a couple other good mods for that amp.
>equal channel weighting
this puts reverb and tremolo on both channels. You only have to disconnect one 220k mix resistor and add one jumper wire on the preamp tubes. Then you can have two differently voiced channels both with the extra gain from the reverb section and a/b into them
>channel chaining
normal channel gets sent into vibrato channel for absurd Mesa type od. Plug into vibrato channel and you get the original sound
>>60181204
I ran my twin at half power without biasing for years with no issues, someone once told me biasing is done to extend the life of the tubes.. Is that accurate?
Also when you say to disconnect one speaker, do mean just while biasing or do you mean permanently?
Just curious
>>60181395
>>60181268
This. Try dropping your thumb down lower on the neck. It will push your hand out and should make it easier to clear the second string.
>>60181615
Biasing sets the idle plate current in milliamps. In a class ab push pull amp it's a negative voltage applied to the input grid. Too much neg voltage (overbiased) and the tubes run cold and it sounds like ass (crossover distortion). Too little voltage (underbiased) and the tubes run too hot and fail sooner. People think hotter is better, but it doesn't do anything but kill tubes. One speaker should be disconnected permanently so you have an 8ohm load. Or stick 2 16ohm in parallel in there. You're risking your output transformer otherwise.
>>60181395
You have some gnarly fingers and terrible technique, dude
>>60181268
It's probably an issue with thumb placement. Put your thumb on the back of the neck in the middle, try angling your guitar up a bit. That's how you should be playing all the time, anyway
>>60182002
Sorry mr segovia. Have i offended you delicate sensibilities? You wish you had my hands. My technique is thumb over to provide two anchor points on the neck. Makes for easier, more accurate bending, and playing with all 5 digits > 4 digits. Plus I play resonators guitar with a pinky slide so I thumb root notes.
>>60182161
that's a pretty big hand
Is there any decent bedroom amp that has bass/mid/treble control? The only interesting ones I can find either has none or just a single tone control.
>>60182490
Vox VT20
>>60182490
Fender Vibro Champ. Mod input 2 to be mids pot. Mids are set by a fixed value resistor as stock
>>60182505
As a tech, I woud never recommend that series of amp.
>>60182505
20 watts seems much too loud for a bedroom and all those extra effects are wasted money to me.
>>60182593
That would be an interesting choice if I didn't have to go to flea markets and hope to find one.
>>60182671
>flea markets
just use reverb.com or gbase.com
they're easy to find

How did you start being a luthier anon ?
>>60183200
Family business. I'm 36, been around this stuff my whole life. Started learning for real when I was about 13
>>60180969
>>60181041
I agree with this, at 1 year you'll just be scratching the surface of playing guitar.
>>60183249
Oh I guess that makes stuff easier.
Also how do you go finding seasoned woods ? Especially the rarer ones like ebony or stuff like burls
>>60183450
>>60183249
Very interesting luthier bro, thanks for hanging around.
Yesterday we were discussing about the effects of woods in tone, I'm more interested on electric as it seems is not much of a difference as in acoustic... what's your experience?
>>60182490
Orange Amplifiers
>>60183450
There's a lumber yard near me that has a good selection of exotics/tonewoods. I th usually fairly well cured but I let it sit around until I'm sure it good
Good tonewoods are important for an acoustic, especially the top. The bracing is also just as important. Makes a difference in electrics too, but it more subtle and affects sustain more than anything. The electronics have a greater influence on the tone of an elecric
>>60183791
Oops second part was in response to >>60183586
hey anons, is it worth getting a boho guitar model?
friend is letting me borrow his bass but I need to replace the strings what are some good string I mostly play psych
Does my knife edge look normal? I'm pretty sure it's just the paint dropping off.
>>60182161
You're crippling your stretch distance and not giving a point for your index or middle finger to meet.
You're also an ass.
>>60183932
Just the paint fa.m.
>>60184061
>you're an ass
You're forgetting that you're the one that started this conversation with an insult. Now you continue throwing insults around. My stretch distance is probably greater that yours even with my thumb over the top. Granted, there are certain fingerings that i do slide my thumb down on the back of the neck for. I find it more important to get the sounds i want out of the instrument than to adhere to certain principles in such a dogmatic way. There is no one correct technique. Why are you so angry?
>listening to some improv recordings I did when I was high as balls
>actually pretty cool riffs
Damn, now I wish I had sum reefer. What's your guys opinion about playing while high?
Also, I remember thinking that everything I played had way too much treble (I think I made a post about it here lol) but listening to it now I think there's a bit too much bass in the tone.
>>60184402
>>60184402
Can be cool as long as you don't do it too much. Best you use it to change perspective when what you're playing feels stale
>>60184402
Did it once, thought I played for hours, turned out to be 10 minutes or so.
>>60184402
I never play when I'm stoned, mostly because I see getting stoned as a group activity and I'm not the type of asshole who brings an instrument to a party.
>>60184514
Why not? Do your friends not like music? I play for my friends all the time.
>>60184448
Yeah, I don't do the marijuanas that often because I want it to be a sort of a special treat. Makes being high so much better.
>>60184494
Yeah, I felt that too. Kinda like falling a sleep or something.
so, have you picked up your guitar today?
>>60184514
>I'm not the type of asshole who brings an instrument to a party.
make it an instrument party, aka a jam
>>60184597
I put it in a case.
That's close enough.
>>60184402
I just end up letting notes ring for days when high. Or playing power chords between the first and fifth fret.
I prefer playing drunk, I'm almost as good mechanically when drunk.
>>60184542
>>60184632
I have like 2 friends who play and instrument and maybe 5 who listen to music with real instruments though...
>>60184679
Damn

What's the best wood for sustain? I'm guessing mahogany but that's just because Les Pauls have a great reputation for being sustain machines.
>>60185534
Yeah those conversations can get pretty stupid.
What's some good material for learning how to play/count in odd time signatures?
I only really listen to or play standard 4/4 stuff so i want to try something more complex.
>>60185450
Reminder: Gibsons and Epiphones have a shorter scale length.
My guitar's scale length is 655mm, yours is not even close.
>>60185279
i have now.
googled it, found frenchcore mix 2013.
absolutely horrible.
>>60185534
I feel like the sustain has more to do with the mass/density than the species. I don't know I'm not a physicist. I just use the stuff I know will sound good.
>>60185679
Yeah that was a 1968 es335. 24.75in scale
Here's a 1937 L5. Same scale as yours.
You know the difference is negligible.
>tfw new guitar came today
>tfw putting new strings on

What do you think of 2016th gibson line up, guys? Would you buy new hp stuff they released, or stick with traditional specs?

Hey, I'm that fag who always asked what was a better choice between a Yamaha bass and a Squier Affinity. I'm finally buying the Yamaha, a TRBX174 with natural finish and a pretty big discount(I actually think it's a TRBX174EW since its normal price is way bigger than some black 174s I've seen around town).
I want some other recommendations now, like resources for bass (I already play electric guitar), some cool beginner-level songs or whatever you would like a novice to know. I already plan to learn a lot of Maiden, Motörhead and Metallica, but I also enjoy some variety.
>>60184402
I play when I'm stoned every day. I don't drink much but when I do, I have to pick up my guitar & zone out for hours. I don't know if what I play is better but I definitely have fun.
>>60186502
Download David Ellefson's metal bass DVDs. Or just buy them, I guess they aren't too hard to find or expensive in the states.
>>60186852
Found it in amazon, I have these two:
http://www.amazon.com/David-Ellefson-Metal-Bass-Beginner/dp/B000GTLMVQ
http://www.amazon.com/David-Ellefson-Metal-Bass-Intermediate/dp/B000GTLMW0/
Turns out he put out a new one in 2010:
http://www.amazon.com/David-Ellefson-Megadeth-Metal-Bass/dp/B003H6KRKW/
>>60186852
>>60186919
I'm gonna check those out, thanks!
>>60186502
Good choice. Affinity series should be avoided. The necks are like rubber. Sounds like metal is your thing, but you should really learn to walk the bass as well.
>>60186936
Hope you like them! They were useful for me back when I was beginning to play.
>>60181074
The trick is to stay relaxed and pick from your wrist. As long as you aren't doing that weird arm spasm thing you'll get there with practice. It's really easy once you get the hang of it.
Some tremolo picking at 0:50

I don't see people playing hapsichords, everyone eventually moved to piano. The same will happen to classical guitars.
>>60187405
Black metal is good to practice that stuff. Surf too.
I played both back in the day, but without difficulty because I am a natural when it comes to picking. I suck with my left hand tho. The guy who had the guitar I played back then was the band's guitarist, I played bass.
>>60187405

Fender Mustang has software midrange control and a host of other tweaks. Also, downloadable presets that leverage others' hard work. Earphones jack? Check!
Funny. I went to the pawn shop today and they had a Frontman 15r and 15g at $60 each. The Mustang is 100x the amp and I got mine for $40. Gotta use that Craigslist.
Blew my amp recently and am looking into to buying something more high end. I'm thinking of getting a 4x10 and 1x15, anyone advise against it? I play bass btw
>>60187947
>not 8x10 ampeg
>>60181796
Amplifier class has nothing to do with method of achieving bias. Class refers to a mode of operation.
>>60181615
Half power will be hardly noticeable save a little headroom. A variac will squash your output power in a hurry.
>>60187676
They're not gut strings, I'm not understanding.
Gut strings are expensive.
>>60187460
Doubtful senpai.
>>60181074
Put an accent on the first beat, for starters. It will keep your picking on point. A master like Dick Dale moves the accents around but that's probably not needed for metal.
>>60187587
An organ has the advantage of being earth shatteringly loud.
Makes for a good church accompaniment, however; organists are few and far between and just because someone knows piano doesn't mean they can play organ.
>>60185779
You didn't have your thumb over the neck senpai.
>>60188614
Because it's improper.
>>60187947
Should work great. What amp(s) are you looking at?
What's the best tuner pedal? Korg Pitch Black? Boss TU? TC Polytune?
>>60188988
Best?
A real Peterson strobe tuner.
>>60189014
uuuuuuuuhhhhh...
Thanks though.
Which is the best of the Korg Pitch Black, Boss TU, and TC Polytune.
I'm doing that Boss 2 for 3 thing and I'm wondering if taking the Tuner as the free pedal is a good choice.
>>60189067
KORG Pitchblack out of those three.
>>60189079
Ok thanks.
What should I choose as the third pedal?
>>60188988
For pure accuracy the Polytune. I think the PB is 1 cent accurate and the TUs a few more, don't quote me on that.
I can't really recommend the Polytune if you have crappy eyesight like myself, my eyes don't like the display at all. The polymode is nice to check if you're in tune real fast, but I use the strobe mode for actually tuning.
>>60188154
>amplifter class etc.
I'm aware of all this. I was explaining how improper fixed bias can cause crossover distortion in class AB push pull. You a tech?
>>60189067
>I'm doing that Boss 2 for 3 thing
Wait what? If I buy 2 new Boss DS1's I can get a DM2W for free???

A little bit of crossover is kinda essential to a lot of tones.
I'm planning to retrofit the hardware of a jazzmaster onto a telecaster body, and what to include the original telecaster knobs and 3-way switch on the guitar, plate and all. If i were to wire jazzmaster pickups and rhythm switches into telecaster pots and the switch would it still produce the same exact tone. I don't see why it wouldn't be identical, but then again I'm not even a beginner with electrical experience in guitars.

Faggotry taken to a new level. Specially that 10 string "bass". I bet you even make guitar faces when doing major scales.
>>60190682
you might want to check their scale lengths. If they are different, you can bet they'll sound different.
>>60179686
>completely missing the science
>>60191780
Woah, what's wrong dad? Can't accept that people might want more than 6 strings?
>>60191371
>implying dean basses can't rock
the thing with dean is that its range covers shit stuff and god tier stuff all with the Dean name. With Fender, the low end is called Squier.
Why do so many actually shops use Reverb and just post a new amp (or guitar) for the full price and then make you pay shipping? I can get the same item 5 other places at the same price and free shipping.

>>60191982
when basses go into guitar territory it grinds my gears, specially because the guys who play those "basses" tend to neglect basslines, ruining the low end of the band. 7 string guitars aren't that bad though, they are the perfect compliment for a 5 string bass. 8 string ones are faggy as fuck.
>>60192120
It's more a guitar than a bass. I mainly use the lower strings to double up a bassline and make it that much heavier.
Ive decided to turn my vm jag into a mongrel fender xii
>>60191887
the softer it is, the least it will sustain. Mildly wet woods are more elastic than dry ones (18% humidity) and can dampen vibrations. That's what I mean when I say "dimensional stability". Picture a polyfoam guitar body to make my point more clear.
whoops heres the jag
>>60192163
>It's more a guitar than a bass.
enough said. Hence, the height of faggotry.

fender VI is best bass 6
Does there exist a two-in-one octave pedal like these crude sketches?
An up and down in one pedal with two separate switches but that aren't necessarily going simultaneously. Choose either/or, but keep settings set for both (whatever those settings are) divided.
Or even have that plus the option for both if the maker was that ambitious.
I get necessity's the mother of invention, but I have zero electrical skill nor have I soldered anything before and this seems a bit above a beginner do-it-yourselfer.

No, I mean, it's intended to be a guitar. It's not a bass scale or anything.
>>60192334
>he plays fender
>>60192337
but does it djent? :^)

what did you think I was talking about?
>>60192380
>implying it isn't a wilshire
>>60192388
die-cast cars do not equal Hot Wheels
do you call all video game systems Nintendos too, grandpa?
>>60192337
it's quite faggy too, get out of my territory. Make up your mind, play either guitar or bass.
>>60192431

>>60192494
i think one time i whacked off thinking about the sticker on jerry cantrels guitar
>>60192509
it's a wilshire. Prove me wrong
>protip: you can't
>>60192494
I have one of those Roland SP-404sx units that's sitting on that amp too they're so good. I have a Roland SP-404 and loved it so much I had to get the SP-404sx. better than sex desu
>>60192565
wilshires have different pickgaurds and most the time the body style is a little different with the bottom horn being smaller on wilshires
the only wilshire that had the same-ish pickguard as the coronet were the very early ones, which had 2 p90s
>>60192554
Yeah that naked blonde has erect nipples to indicate to the world that she's horny.
>>60192570
I had the SP-202 and 303 years ago. I liked them a lot for what they are, but the 404sx is so much faster and easy to do shit with.
>>60192451
No.
>>60191415
I'm sorry you can't get a beautiful sound out of the mellow and singing nylon strings?
You're used to a sharp, bright, tinny tone.
>>60192675
>beautiful
beauty is subjective
steel tone is objectively superior
want a mellow tone? go for flatwound chromes
>>60192622
you used to be able to see it real good
now you cant see shit
the signature guitars with that repro sticker don't look nearly as dirty(sexy) for some reason
>>60192612
it's obviously a '62 wilshire
omg how can you be this dense
>>60192706
Not even close to the same sound.
Enjoy though.
>>60192723
In an interview, Jerry said that the guitar has a hairline fracture going down the body. He's going to leave it at home or donated it or something.
>>60192750
>the same sound.
who wants to sound like he has obsolete string tech? top kek
Anyone had any experiences with Marshall practice amps? Looking at getting the MG15CDR, should I get it or avoid it?
>>60192878
There are better practice amps for the price stepfam.
Search for used, you will be able to get much better gear. That's one of the first things I learned after buying a shit starting amp.
>>60192913
That's actually what I did, I probably should of mentioned that it's going to cost me $170 AUD for the amp and a Korg AX1500G. There was one guy selling a VOX VT40+ but his price wouldn't budge.
>>60192741
like I said, the only wilshires with that body type and pickgaurd were the early ones with 2 P90s
that guitar has 1 P90
it also has a wrap around
wilshires came with TOMs
>>60192285
Just octave, though. No fuzz or other effects. I'll have other pedals for that.
>>60193025
analog octave pedals typically introduce fuzz. If you want a clean octave pedal, you're looking at something digital, which is generally beyond the reach of the hobbyist.
As for manufactured pedals, I'm not aware of one.

Tell me /gg/, what's the best cover band ever and why is it led zeppelin?
Hey fuckers where can i get some cool guitar straps?
>>60192285
The JHS modded POG might do just that not sure. They're not very cheap tho
>>60193830
weave one out of paracord.
>>60193830
Levy's makes elastic straps, those are pretty neat.
I'm looking for a chorus but something that sounds different from average. I'm thinking something that sounds warbly and slightly detuned. Does such a thing exist?
I checked pic related but it doesn't come close to what I have in mind.
>>60193025
>>60193888
Thanks, guys. Appreciate the info.
I think that modded POG (the Quadra POG, as it's called) is exactly what I'm after. And though I'm not pulling any triggers yet, $309 is about the same/a little cheaper than the POG 2 that was on the wish list previously.

>>60193911
I've got a couple of those. I like them because the elasticity takes some of the tension off the shoulders, but they are limited in how high up you can place the guitar on your body. In fact, I'm probably going to take the one off my main guitar and switch it out for a regular strap.
how do i into making dreamy sounding chord progressions? i know basic music theory but i cant seem to figure out how to get that certain dreamy sound
>>60194387
Depends on what you mean by "dreamy". It could just be a matter of rhythmic "feeling" when you play chords. Pick a few chords out from a scale, arpeggiate them slowly, and maybe add some delay/reverb.
A good example that comes to my mind is Steve Vai's "For the Love of God". The background chord progression for that tune is just a slowly-arpeggiated cycle of familiar chords shapes.
>>60194387
Don't give hard Cadances, look up what Debussy and his contemporaries were doing in the impressionistic period.
Ever wonder why Claire De Lune is so floaty?
Read up on it. Classical music is very much relevant. Hope you know real theory though and not guitar "theory."

brah find yourself some nice tweed or knitted grill cloth. something from an old organ (or that style) would be classy as fuck

no thanks, i'm going to buy the tolex to put it back on and buy the grill material and hopefully find a badge. i'm just having a kek

Just bought the jag recently. Really enjoying it. Kinda thinking back wondering if I should have got a JM but I think that just me always second guessing myself. Plays great, looks great, sounds great.
>>60194805

>>60194801
I know but I still think some of those vintage grill clothes are t'riffic. my m-100 has this crazy goldish woven cloth with shiny bits in it. i should take a pic of it with some mics like i did here with my leslie grill cloth >>60194755
pic somewhat related, found online
Why is the CV's fretboard so blonde? Is there other coloured fretboards for it? The fretboard on the white tele model looks meh.
>>60194864
i'm not doubting that, i love the look of vintage amps, and i wanted to do that when i got my first 410, but i changed my mind.
>>60194981

I'm picking three pedals for the Boss 3 for 2 thing ( http://www.boss3for2.com/ ) and need at least the DD7 and the NS2. However, I'm not sure what to pick as a third pedal. Rec me anything except a distortion, please.
>>60195384
>NS-2
But they're kind of shit.
>>60195707
What's a better noise gate?
>>60195724
ehx the silencer
cheap, fresh and astounding
>>60195733
Thanks.
Are there any Boss pedals you'd recommend? I'm definitely getting the DD7 and that promotion is such a good deal that I'm looking for other pedals.
>>60194142
Warped vinyl? Not sure who makes them.
>>60195724
>>60195758
Isn't me >>60195733
ISP Decimator is the go-to noise-gate.
>>60195822
well the silencer is twice as cheap so.
If there's one thing i learnt after buying a Micro Synth, it's that EHX is good at nothing but making fancy noise gates :c
>>60195733
Still not as good as an ISP though
>>60195384
Honestly the only Boss pedals I'd rec for anyone would be the DD7 (or DM2W if you want a true analog delay) or the TU3, that deal isn't really that great desu
>>60195835
You get what you pay for.
>>60188425

Got a 2nd gen at a garage sale for less than $100, fucking idiot thought it was just a shitty speaker amplifier kek
>Mesa Mark V:35
>still uses EL84s
WHY.
>>60196675
Because Mesa have been fucking stupid for years. I don't think they realize 6V6 tubes exist.
Fuck, fairly sure Fender realized you can use 6l6 tubes for low wattage amps, my Albion 35w combo has 2x 6L6.

So get a zither or a real harp. You'll have all the strings your little heart desires, and no one will ever mistake what you're playing for a guitar.
does anyone else here listen to Les Paul?
I mean the actual person. Really underrated guitarist/musician.

>>60197762
I listen to Les Paul on almost all of the music I listen too. He's there thanks to his guitar. I mean, everything would sound different if not for him.
>>60197762
I love his stuff - a real stylish player and innovator.
Also the first to really get the possibilities of multitrack recording - all that stuff with Mary Ford with the double speed stuff and close vocal harmony stuff is just the tits
anybody here able to play Sweet child o mine or the intro? How long did you play guitar before you learned it? How long did you practice this particular song/part before knowing it?
>>60192189
But that has nothing to do with any specific wood per se, just body stiffness.
As long as the body material is stiff enough to anchor the strings securely, you can use anything-wood, steel, stone, plastic, whatever-and get the same tonal effect.
And people have.
Where wood has the advantage is the combination of high stiffness, low(ish) weight and easy machining at low cost. Plus some of it looks pretty.
Semi-beginner here.
When tremoloing a string, I find it hard to skip to the adjacent one without stopping or sometimes accidentally strum both strings.
e.g. going from E to A and back:
A---------222222----3333--------1111----
E-0000000----------------4444------------
Can someone please tell me what the fuck is wrong with me and how can I fix it?
