nice anon, did you buy straight from Japan or is it an export model?
>>60262654
Someone responded in the previous thread >>60261254
>>60262758
We have a distributor here in my country so I got it from them. I like the asymmetric neck more than Wizard necks but would prefer a flatter radius than 12" and the bridge and tailpiece feel a bit cheap. They are made in Korea. Also only a gigbag. Still, it's a very good guitar for under 800 euros and comes with Duncans.
>>60262593
Can anyone identify the chords the rythym guitarist (the guy closest to the camera) is playing?
It's like 5 chords but I'm bad at identifying since I'm still a bit new.
https://youtu.be/yLbh8uKtQ40?t=17m27s
>>60262842
Yeah i know but i was looking less gear wise and more setup wise, like where to put my fingers and mid,bass, and treble controls (i have a squire jaguar jbass [the one with the single humbucker in the bridge] and a fender 15w rumble)
Also that woman didnt play bass on the album Ken Fossi did
I tried a Black Fountain... holy fuck this thing sounds fucking beautiful.
Now I'm split on whether sticking to my Flashback or selling it and getting the Fountain. I'm love with how it sounds, but I'm also a poorfag, so I can't have both. I'm worried I might miss the versatility of the Flashback.

By the way, the owner of shop is a friend, so it's possible I could get a discount (recently offered me a $215 pedal for $180 just because he's a likeable fucker like that).
tfw they lost my sovtek for 3 weeks at the shop?????
Turns out the output transformer is blown, is it worth putting 200 into it?
>>60263316
Moving up in the world from where you were at the beginning of the year hey?
I'm halfway through moving. Actually have a real amplifier again. It's the only thing besides the stereo that's setup in the entire house so far haha.
>>60262955
I assume you're talking about when they first start at 2:23?
Capo at seventh fret, chords relative to the capo -
Main progression: Dm C B Gm
Turn-around: Dm C/G B C
Not absolutely sure about the turnaround, it's kind of hard to hear over the vocals and other guitar, but it's pretty close
>>60262955
I found a better version, what are the four chords he's using?
I know he's using a d but I still suck at it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOSp9x6uS7E
>>60263316
I'm suprised anybody remembers me actually, this was the setup a year ago. What a difference having a decent job and checking craigslist daily makes.I'm hoping to get rid of this 8x10 soonish, or trade the Sovtek for a nice Orange.
>>60263727
Nah I'm talking about just the song "If you have ghosts" I can't find an accurate chord tab anywhere
>>60263760
Damn dude, you really should have specified that when linking a 22 minute video
>>60263023
If you look at the liner notes to that album's reissue, Arthur Lee himself admits the band was struggling with drug habits, WAY out of practice and couldn't play the parts until very late in the session. And yet, that album was recorded in a mere 65 hours of studio time.
It is only logical that the bulk of the album was completed with the help of session musicians, meaning Carol Kaye did more than just supervise during those sessions-she was a very active participant.
>>60263805
I time coding the link, I thought it was obvious
>>60263737
meant for >>60263467
>>60263737
>>60263856
I read most /gg/ threads so yeah haha. If the 8x10 is actually decent quality hang onto it, never know. If it's just some junker then yeah, flip it.
I'm going to add a second 4x12 to my setup so I can do jams without people needing to bring anything. My DSL comes back this week too, will be the first I've used it in almost a year.
Having the absurdly powerful receiver amplifier on top of the 6505 makes me laugh a bit too.
>playing a G chord with a D on the B string on a perfectly tuned guitar
>>60263807
Thanks for the fun fact but still doesnt really answer my question
Im sure her bass sound can be reached by other means then a completely specific bass and a completely specific amp
>>60263996
>adding an A on the G string
>>60263825
Time coding doesn't work through embedding, I guess
>>60263733
I think he's in D standard with a capo on 2, so just play in E standard.
The chords, from low E to high E:
X00230
X0222X
244300
022100
X00230
244300
577600
244300
You sure it isn't a standard D chord?
>>60263947
It's in rough shape, no tolex, 3~ inch hole in the back, and I had to build a grill from scratch for it, as can be seen. It sounds fine, I swapped out 2 of the torn speakers but theres still another in rough shape. It's just such a pain in the ass to move, and it's really just a slave unit in my current setup. I would much rather sell it on the cheap to somebody looking for something serviceable.
Also how fucking cool is this

>>60264274
Was meant for
>>60264175
>>60264274
The low A is very clear and he definitely hits the open high E, but it might be an accident since he never lets it ring out. It's for sure not a D major, there's no third in the chord
>>60264007
Dude relax.
A Precision is the most common and cloned bass in the world.
Likewise, the SR is just an amp with the standard Fender 3 knob tone stack that everyone and their brother has already copied, and it's sound is essentially loud and clean.
So that's it. That's the deep, dark secret to that bass tone. Get the most common bass in the world and get a sound that's clean and tight. Any number of amps can do that as long as you have sufficient power.
>>60264395
For some reason, the 244300 chord sounds like crap, but I'm assuming it's my guitar because I just tuned it and it's a super shitty guitar
Whats your favorite guitar (that you own)?
Whats the next guitar you're aiming to buy?
>>60264476
It's an odd sounding chord (F#11). Of course everything's gonna sound off if you're out of tune

Some old flaming piece of shit I want a new one so bad
FA135 because I found it for cheap
>>60264577
Tough choise because my guitars have different purposes so one is not objectively better than the other but I'm going to say my Ibanez because it's so versatile.
Next guitar will probably be pic related. They are amazing to play and sound heavenly.
t. >>60262643
>>60264476
There's a minor second between A# and B.
The chord's name is F#7(11)
The B is native to F# major so that's our fourth scale degree(or eleventh as we'll call it) and the E is our seventh. We've got a major triad with F#A#C#
>>60264461
listen to this guy
>>60264798
>The chord's name is F#7(11)
Doesn't F#11 already include the minor 7th? Why would you write it that way?
>>60264577
My 1964 Musicmaster and my Jazzmaster are tied for favorites.
I saw this cheap ass pointy Jackson V at a music store in Seattle yesterday and it was weirdly appealing. Made me feel like a member of L7. I kind of want one but buying another cheap guitar isn't the smartest move rn.
How's the transition of going from 6 to 7 strings?
For some reason, 7 strings seems like the ultimate versatile instrument. Play pop music and go straight to djent territory straight away.
>>60264963
So it excludes the 9th which would be G#.
>>60264987
6 to 7 is easy if you get something with a relatively thin neck (Ibanez). It's really just a six string with a low B. The shift from 7s to 8s can be a bit weird, but I ended up going back to 6s and 7s.
What you'll find is you'll hit the wrong strings quite a bit for awhile. You'll also need to mute the B string to do anything on the E, which you probably won't be used to.
What are your thoughts on this envelope/lfo stompbox? Haven't had a chance to try it out since i got it

GAS is such a bitch. I nearly pulled the trigger on buying that stupid Miku pedal.
I'm in the market for collecting my dream guitars from when I was a kid, so next up is a Gibson SG. What is the cheapest option I can get used or new? Also an SG with P90s would be highly preferred if there's anything like the Classic or Tribute models up for sale
can we get a budget tube amp shoot out, 600$ & under, whats good for that range
>>60266955
Depends what style you're looking to play with it really, plus whether you want a combo or a head + cab?
Also your country of residence matters a lot too.
>mfw haven't played an electric guitar in a year because I'm too lazy to hook an amp up
>>60264577
My Sunllite acoustic, hands down. Plays and sounds better than most acoustics I've used.
Next guitar purchase will probably be either a Tele or a Jazzmaster

I pretty much play rock, but I try to play funk among other things, not looking for anything too overdriven but I like to get some dirt. I know I like orange amps, at least the ones I can't afford, hows are the or15 and tiny terror?
and I live in the land of bruce springsteen
Ok /gg/, Idk if this is where i should ask but i wanna get a Bass Guitar and i want it to be a funky one. I used to have an Ibanez but couldn't get the sound i wanted from it. I was looking for more of a Talking Heads, chill, funky bass kinda sound. Got any recs for me? I believe my price range will be 300-400$
My guitar teacher gave me this as a simpler version the riff for Back in Black.

Does this look right? No matter how much I try I can't get this to sound anywhere close to it

You're pulling off to 0 after every "p" right? Yeah, it's not the exact lick, but it still sounds pretty similar in context.

The first one is the way your instructor wrote it, the second one is the way it really is. It works as a substitution, but the only reason to simplify it like that would be if you can't bend yet.
Remember that little lick doesn't start right on the downbeat, it starts a sixteenth note after the beat. It'll throw off the feel completely if you time it wrong

Played a Progression Plus in a guitar store a few years ago. Honestly beats any American Standard Strat I have ever played. It had a loud middly ring acoustically and an oiled neck with rolled edges. The neck especially made an impression on me. Obviously they have the cheaper models (which are still excellent) but at around a grand they are superb.
>>60265406
I have. Just great amps for bass at a reasonable price. I've been recommending them to everyone who asks about good budget bass amps for a while.
Any experience with pedal switchers? Are 8 always presets sufficient for you, for live set playing?
I always used to be amazed how many post rock bands weren't using fuzzes, or if they were, they were using BOSS shite.
My band played a couple shows, and honestly, my best gain has been the EHX graphic fuzz, which is more of a bold distortion.
I'm coming to find that with all that reverb and gain, to clip and compress with the fuzz like that makes you drop out and sound like a wall of nothing in the mix really fast. I took my big fuzz off the board, and practices have seemed a lot better mixed since then.

How do you not play strings that are 'in the way'. I imagine you do some sort of lifting of the pick or killing of the strings you dont play at that moment?
Favorite picks, and why? Go
>Dat chime like tone
>>60272139
theres a few ways, you can just pick the ones not shown with all four fingers or you can strum and tactically miss those ones but thats quite hard
>>60272139
Look into hybrid picking or "chicken pick'n". Learn that technique early on.
In some instances, though, you can mute the unplayed string with one of your fretting fingers and strum it along with the strings you mean to play.
>>60272247
Even brighter, a bit more surface area and those rolled edges slip over strings so fast.

>>60267356
Orange is fine for what you want, but since you're in Freedomland, you have a whole world of options in that price range on the used market too
For instance, look at a Silverface Fender Bassman. Goes for about 500-600 all day long, and a SF Fender is THE amp of the 70s funk and R&B bands. That clean tight sound is effortless, and overdrive is there too if you plug into both channels and turn both volumes up.
>>60267423
Tina Weymouth from TH mostly used a Fender Mustang short scale bass due to her small hands, but she also used a Fender Jazz for her Tom Tom Club side project.
Either way, what makes he great is not the equipment she uses, but her sense of rhythm and time. Propelling a song while both playing outside the beat and not losing time is a very difficult skill to master.
>>60271125
Get no play anywhere but are excellent quality. A steal for the price.
>>60272139
There are lots of ways.
Some people lift up the pick slightly and then lower it at the correct string to pick the note.
Others pluck the additional string(s) with the free fingers on their pick hand at the same time as they pick the low note with their pick.
Some do combinations of all this as the circumstances require.
