I'm in a post-rock trio, we're pretty new but we have our first set worked up.
I've been sick for a week and haven't been able to practice at all. :( at least we have another band rehearsal tomorrow.

STOP BEING A WHINY FUCKING FAGGOT
>>60573985
So, I'm an aspiring bassist and I'm looking for a head/cab. I have $2500 Canadian. Should I go for a tube head or a solid state or hybrid?
>>60574245
Quit posting this, seriously, is an unnoticeable paint crack.
>>60574311
i honestly can't even see it
>>60574309
I should have stated I'm not looking to go on a solo career. If that makes a difference.
>>60574358
It's inside the counter sink, I want to know why he was fucking around with the neck in the first place if he didn't want to damage it
>>60574245
Am I missing something here? I've got some rash on my Les Paul Custom, why does a tiny crack in the recess bother you?
What do you think sounds better, a P-Bass or a J-Bass?
Posting these again, probably the last time.
I had two brain hemorrhages in August (hit by a car) and have been learning to play again. You might have heard some of my fumblings in September when I nearly couldn't play at all.
But yeah, looking for feedback on the tone and if there's anything noticeable in my playing I should be focusing on improving again. It's hard to do now since I have to focus so hard to keep my left hand doing what I want it to do...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWPS1SSNYRk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9V4olW0uuQ
>>60574364
I would go hybrid because of cost and they are lighter
>>60574670
I like the P-Bass sound. It's got that nice thump that's great for rock. The J-Bass is more versatile though. When in doubt get a PJ bass; you don't lose anything over the P bass but you get a little bit of the tonal flexibility of the Jazz.
>>60574699
nice collection, which is your favorite?
>>60574245
Be thankful that you don't have any neck pocket paint fissures. That would put you over the edge. You didn't create any fooling around with the neck. Did you?
Daily reminder that you're better off quitting guitar and becoming a bassist
>>60574842
my autism wouldn't allow me to get a PJ bass
but yeah I think I would go with a p-bass, I really like the way it sounds, especially with flatwounds
>>60574885
Woa shit son I'm in the same town
>>60574885
yea well the thing is a lot of guitarists are fucking shit so even if i were to switch and play bass and get in some band, there's a good chance the guitar player would be awful
>>60574904
While the Jazz is definitely more flexible than the Precision, I dont' think the Precision really lacks flexibility as far as rock goes. It has all the tone variation you're likely to need for most genres, especially when you consider the difference you can make with different strings, amp effects, etc.
If you're leaning towards the P bass, just get it. You won't regret it.
>>60574245
Nobody gives a fuck about your first chip. If I was in a band with a faggot like you I'd carve "Whiney Bitch" on the front of your guitar.
>>60575046
The landslide majority of guitarists are shit because literally everyone plays it;sheer numbers dilute the skill pool. Maybe 10% of people who play guitar are actually good
>>60574850
Thanks. It's hard to say really, they're all for different things.
The explorer used to be my main live guitar, and probably will be again soon. It was also my first good guitar.
Les Paul I got shortly after my grand mother died and is probably the "best' guitar there. Killer sound, awesome to play.
Strat is a 1979, my Dad's first guitar. It sat under a bed for thirty years or so after he emigrated. He found it recently while overseas and brought it back for me as a surprise.
K-7 has that dumb inlay, but has BKPs in it and does most of my recording. It'd be the most ergonomic of those guitars, but doesn't have the same mojo as the other three I guess.
Check out my videos if you can, any advice or feedback is appreciated.
>>60574251
You're going to pry the E and I laminations out of their resin and roll back a winding a couple hundred turns, mend, and reassemble for less than a hundred dollars? You're a saint.
>>60575046
naw you don't understand.
you get into the band as a bassist, prove you're better than the guitarist, have a fight, win fight, kick out guitarist, become guitarist, and then go on craigslist to find a new bassist
>>60575083
>10%
probably even less than that. i'd say like maybe 7%
>>60574723
That's what my bud said too. Thanks.
>>60575104
what happens if a better guitarist comes and plays bass and does that to me?
i can't take this pressure. i quit everything
>>60575128
why do you think the prior guitarist was so hesitant to bring you on
can't break the cycle dude
>>60575056
Most of my favorite bassists use P Basses too
>>60575104
There are tons of people who actually prefer to play bass
>>60575104

>based guitarist leaves the band to focus on solo career
>keep doing bass and also become new lead guitarist
>achieve mainstream success and become a millionaire
Not bad
>>60575097
Damn you literally have a NOS Strat.
>>60574670
my band's bassist has a J and I dig it.
Why does Gibson actually make a Les Paul abd SG Bass?
>>60575098
>pry out of resin
>roll back a winding a couple hundred turns
You didn't understand a single part of what I posted did you?
It arcs 800 volts (give or take) across and burns through the coating. At that point they stop working. You just pull it back, lift it over and sleeve it. There's no "couple hundred turns".
Anyone feel like telling me how to play first counts of this song?

I'm selling this now, so what guitar that's under $800 can I get that has really high quality humbuckers or P90s and looks nice? I was thinking about a SG Standard or SG Classic, Somic blue blacktop HH strat, or Reverend Jetstream.

I want to start playing shoegaze guitar. What are some essential pedals and equipment that I'll need? Also, jazzmaster, jaguar, or something else?
Anybody here have a short scale bass they like?
Also, is it possible to find a short scale bass that has a better sound on the midrange and up? I know short scales tend to be more on the bassier side but I was really looking for something that's easy to play so I could solo a bit on it.
>>60575721
HH strats are great though.
>>60575781
loud amp, reverb, delay, maybe chorus/volume/fuzz depending on the sound you want, guitar with trem. JM or Jag is fine, even a strat will get you there.

>>60575361
You're le expert.
I hope all of your repairs are superficial faults.
>>60575782
I love mine, and alot of people that use it for recordings and junk love it, but it's definitely all low end and not much else. I reckon the Epiphone viola bass was kinda middy from what I remember.
>>60574311
>>60574299
It hurts to look at ;_;
>>60575929
>Superficial faults
Whatever you say buddy. That was the problem in that amplifier. Worked perfectly after that. It's a common problem in early DSLs due to how the transformers were wound.
>>60575945
What do you have? Pics maybe?
I've been looking at the Ibanez GSRM Mikro. It looks like a blast to play and from what I've read, it's so short (28.5"!) that it actually is middier than a typical 30-32" short scale. It even comes in a 5-string if that's the way I want to go in the end.

Beginner here - thinking of switching to "thumb-over-the-top" style for the lower frets to reduce cramps. Do I need long fingers and thumbs for this? It seems like I'm pretty restricted in how I can move my fingers while I'm holding barre chords.

It sounds right to me, but it doesn't match his hands at all and I can't find a positioning that does. Try it out and see if it's close enough for you
>>60576146
Your whiny posts about a scratch that can't even be seem from the front and can barely be seen in a close up hurt to look at.
So GG I have a question for you. What's the best guitar that's under $600. I think its pic related desu
>>60577505
Depends on what you play.
>>60577505
Fender Stratocaster I'd say. Versatile as all hell and high quality for the price.
Other than that, Epiphone Semihollows are really fucking good, especially the pricier ones.
>>60577505
saw one at GC and the finish/overall quality was terrible. Only played around with it a little but it sucked tonally and feeling wise as well
>>60577193
Thanks man. I really appreciate it.
I think the cover was knocked up a pitch or something.
I still can't figure out the chords that follow soon after and it's getting to my head
>>60577505
Used/negotiated good guitar, I have seen good American strats around that range.
I love my RG655 and I have seen it around $650-700 mint in some extremes. I got it new for $800 while the price in GC is $1199.
If you are careful and do your homework you can score really good deals.
eBay, GC used and Reverb are very good places to look for quality guitars within a limited budget.

Some of the SG basses are pretty nice and are really versatile. The Les Pauls are ugly as fuck, though.
>>60575814
Not him but what are some fun chords that sound good in shoegaze music, I've been messing around with different chords and making stuff up and I just want to know if anyone's discovered any chords that sound different, I usually play with only a tiny bit of delay and reverb and mainly use clean
>>60579464
>a tiny bit of delay and reverb and mainly use clean
You don't deserve the secret shoegaze chords. Ask again when you have a minimum of six pedals.
>>60575648
Get an SG classic
Thoughts on Earthquaker Devices' The Tentacle?
>>60579739
Just because I don't want to use too much effects to compensate for my poor playing ability. But seriously, I'm not really trying to make cliched shoegaze, just trying something kind of different, don't quite know where I'm going with it but still.

Stop spamming your shit ruined guitar you utter cunt
Does anyone know where i can cop an Infanem Second Voice Deluxe? Supposedly they're not in production anymore but is there a good place to browse for used pedals? Are there any good alternatives to the Second Voise Deluxe?
http://www.infanem.com/secondvoice/
I'm looking to buy my first pedal and this is the most interesting one rec'ed to me so far. Gonna be playing bass guitar as a lead and make some noise rock, post-punk, and synth pop type stuff with my friend on drums and synths.
Also does anyone have any suggestions for a good looping pedal? The more loops the better but i dont exactly have a ton of money to drop.
>>60579982
Get over it, you can't even see it.
>>60580019
>First pedal
>Buying something that complicated
It even has CV outputs. I mean that's neat and all, but do you have modular gear to take advantage of that?
>>60580040
I don't. What would you recommend as an alternative? Is there a certain combo of cheaper pedals that can get me similar sounds?
>>60579982
>even keeping that film on there in the first place
>>60577662
+1 for epiphone semihollows, theyre fantastic
>>60580049
I don't know what that pedal does to begin with, but the moment you add CV out and modular support you're getting into the realm of analog synths and massive possibilities--and complexity.
>>60575075
I really hope someone he knows reads this and acts on it. Too bad Whiney McFaggotfuck is too much of an autist to have friends.
>>60580150

http://youtu.be/qJgVKv4oJJE
http://sys.4chan.org/derefer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.infanem.com%2Fsecondvoice%2F
I dont necessarily care if it's analog as long as it can get me some nice sounds.
>>60575781
Classic pedals are: RV-3, DD-3, EH Big Muff, Proco Rat, and a decent multieffect would be great but not essential. Good reverb and delay is pretty much essential, once you have those you dont really need anything else. This is what most known shoegaze bands use. However there are tons of pedals that do similar jobs that would work just as well. I prefer Fender Twin Reverbs for amps because it's a really good amp to build a sound on, even the new ones are quite good, they tend to take pedals really well. I play shoegaze on a Gibson The Paul '68, which still is a really good guitar for the money, however it doesnt have tremolo.
>>60575107
This, probably about 1 in 15 guitar players I know are solid, even less than that have cool ideas or write cool riffs consistently
>>60579982
>that protective film
Holy keks, what a stupid cunt. And I thought you were baiting these last couple threads.
>>60580292
Most of the sound you hear is coming from the synth. On guitar it will sound nothing like this.
If you want synth sounds on a budget I would check out the EHX microsynth
>>60580452
actually that is a synth pedal you are hearing. yeah it does sound like that.
>>60580292
check on reverb,com for secondhand pedals, there a couple infanem second voice on there right now, just not the deluxe. you can use an expression pedal in the cv jack, this will allow you to change the range knob in real time while you are playing. only an idiot would think a cv jack was complicated lel.
>>60579850
I'm not actually a shoegazer. From reading this thread, though, I have noticed that they don't like to be pinned down with specifics... scales, chords, etc. The concensus seems to be that what goes into the pedal is not as important as what comes out because the latter bears only a faint resemblance to the former in many instances. I could be wrong. Good luck with your non-gazing shoegaze.
Hey everyone
I'm on my summer holidays and I took my guitar in to get fixed up today because I want to do something productive with my time
I haven't got guitar lessons for probably seven years now. I had a really great teacher who taught me scales and the basis of improvisation so I remember most of that
How do I teach myself? What is the best way about going about it?
I really like shoegaze and post rock and I think those two are probably going to be the biggest influences for me when it comes to making music.
At the music store in town today, they had the DD-500 a hundred dollars off for christmas, I'm thinking of buying it because I don't own any pedals. Is this a good start for post rock/shoegazey sounds?
I own a Epiphone G400 and a Roland Cube 15x
Please reply.
>>60580649
lol nobody on gg is going to have any valid opinion with that pedal. there is a thread on thegearpage.net in the effectds forum where owners talk about the pros and cons/favorite settings etc of the dd-500

Obviously you can get some synthy pitch sounds out of it but isn't going to sound anything like that moog demo on guitar.
Here's the more basic model and what it sounds like through a guitar. I wouldn't want that guy to think he will be getting pure perfectly tracked synth tones from it.

yeah everything about it seems pretty incredible but i don have the $$ to drop on it right now. 100$ off is a pretty nice deal
Anyone here have any experience with this?
I think it sounds pretty muffled.

>>60580649
$100 off or $100 off retail?
Street price is usually quite a bit lower than rrp
>>60579847

>>60574699
Left hand has tension but apart from that, you are all good. Amazing recovery and you're a bit of a monster player.
>>60580767
There should be a switch in the back, switch it to "line", the other options are pretty muddy.
>>60580798
No direct experience with that particular pedal but I've owned several Earthquaker pedals and wound up selling or trading them. Didn't care at all for their fuzz pedals, they are just clones of vintage fuzz circuits but they just sound too modern and clean if that makes any sense. Liked their modulation pedals better but there are just better options out there, if not at that low of a price. The tentacle is just an octave up, I'm sure it sounds fine. The malekko helium is one of the octave up pedals that i've kept, lots of variety and tweakability and they can be found for like 100$ and less on reverb.com and pedal forum b/s/t.
https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/helium-mkii/
>>60575056
P-basses can literally do anything. I use mine for freelance session work and gigs when I am not using my upright and no one ever complains that it sounds out of place playing anything from jazz, country, metal, fusion and hybrids of everything in between. Don't think too much when it comes to options in bass tone because as long as it produces a big sound that sounds nice, it's ok. No one cares but you and the other bassist in the room.
>>60580845
woop I meant the malekko chaos
https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/product/chaos/
both of those pedals are pretty cool clones of vintage octave pedals and sorta compliment each other as the originals were designed to be used together.
>>60580718
ok now make a demo of just your guitar signal straight into the pedal and try to get perfect synth tones like in the moog demo.
>>60580848
Not to mention that the P Bass is so ubiquitous that it is what most people think of as a "bass sound"
>>60580895
only an idiot would listen to that demo with a synth and think that is what the pedal is going to sound like with guitar lel but it would also take an idiot to miss what the pedal is actually doing. you are a pretty impressive idiot, good job!

I know fuck all about effects
When I used to live at home I got this USB connector thing for my guitar off the internet for like, $15 and I downloaded an effects program
problem was my shitty laptop couldn't buffer it in time so it was always delayed. I want to start building up a badass pedal setup
that same usb connector should work good with my new pc though
are hardware effects better than software (ie PC programs)
also should I start tripping in these threads
I've never done it before but if gg threads are common here it might be okay
>>60580924
>are hardware effects better than software
not necessarily, just depends on how you want to use them really. that dd-500 is a pretty deep pedal thats going to give you alot of control over the parameters and how you interact with the pedal. i wouldn't expect it to be a plug and play effect, but one where you have to spend alot of time going through the menus and making adjustments to get it set up to where it is actually doing the interesting things its probably capable of. If you don't have any idea what those interesting things are you might not want to get such an ambitious pedal?
just got this
>>60580915
Holy shit you're autistic (as if that wasn't already apparent)
The guy that originally posted the link said it was going to be his first pedal and he posted a link to a synth demo, it's reasonable to think a beginner may have expected it to sound that way on a guitar/bass.
>>60580924
If you want it, go for it - it looks a killer pedal.
I'm in Australia and the going rate seems to be $100 less than retail.
>>60580971
right...because the demo was with a synth. you are incredible
>>60580960
I have a lot of ideas in my mind and a lot of time to kill
basically what you've just said has cemented my choice. I have nothing to do in my life for the next six months and I want to do something that feels valuable so if what you're saying is true then I'll definitely benefit from having that degree of freedom.
>>60580986
yeah thats the best thing about that pedal is the amount of control you will have. have fun!

Have you actually played one of these, or are just saying its the best based on a spec sheet and the fact that you like Les Paul's? I owned one of these in white and the QC was abysmal.

Ah, how obvious is it? That's the hand I'm having trouble with. Right hand has it's days, but I almost always have issues with the left now.
I tore my left rhomboid muscle in half and bled the part of the brain that regulates sensory information and motor skills.
>Bit of a monster player
Haha, thanks man--but I deliberately picked songs that are easy to play but look impressive.
>>60581188
Thanks, been busting my ass to get to point where I can walk and talk, let alone play guitar.
>How can a man have hair that luscious?
Don't know really. Sometimes I brush it, sometimes I even wash it.

My brother had a stroke about 20 years ago.
He is now a manager in a quite important local company.
My mother had a cerebellum infarction about 2 years ago. She has mostly recovered fully but still struggles with the psychological aspects of the acv.
It has been a difficult road for both but it's possible to persevere.
Best of wishes on your full recovery mate.
>>60581083
/gg/ is one of the friendliest places when it's not shit. I normally only lurk or shitpost elsewhere but I actually try to be constructive here.
>>60581563
>She has mostly recovered fully but still struggles with the psychological aspects
Yeah it's weird like that. I've been having nightmares recently about the accident. I have no memory of it so it's very surreal.
>Best of wishes on your full recovery mate.
Cheers, going well so far. Doing better than a lot of people do.

I'm trying to get over it..
I'm thinking about buying one of these, because I'm in the market for a new bass. Is this a good idea? If not, is there a better option? I play a little of everything, so an all-purpose bass is what I'm looking for.
>>60581816
Would be nice to have in a collection, but not that great as an only bass.
>>60581816
The problem with basses with small bodies is that you can't rest your hand as well as on a normal bass, I'd try it before buying it.
If you want an all purpose bass, I'd recommend an Ibanez. Or a warwick if you want to destroy your spine.
>>60581816
>>60581842
Also forgot to point out that it only has one pickup, which won't make it as versatile as you'd like
>>60581348
I wish my hair was that nice no homo
Shit, I dunno.
Can't say I know anyone that looks like you at all. We've probably got some mutual friends.
I live in Marion.
>>60581727
Stop posting about it. Your guitar is fugly anyway.

I used to be around Seacombe Heights, then Blackwood for years. Out west nowadays.
My default hangout spot if nothing is on is the Enigma Bar if that helps haha. It's a hole, but that's where most of my friends usually end up.
>>60581842
What model would you recommend, specifically?
>>60580040
It is complicated, but it's also mostly 3 filters, without much knowledge he could probably make it sound good and afterwards go deeper into it.
>>60581963
I've been to enigma a handful of times, I like the atmosphere there
A good friend of mine is a bartender at Shotz and I'd probably say that's my default hangout spot if I do go to town.
>>60582056
>>60581963
You do look familiar though...
Have you been to any sleepmakeswaves shows at Adelaide uni or nearby, or were you at I Killed The Prom Queen on halloween
>>60582056
Well it's essentially a 90s dive bar. At the moment it's the longest standing bar in the CBD without a decor change. Probably not something it should be proud of though haha.
>Shotz
Know a few people who go there. Not my thing personally though.
You seen any of the dodgier unlicensed venues like Animal House or House of Sap? Animal House is full DIY dodgy, mattresses lining all the walls and everything.
>>60581890
Don't you guys love your guitars..
>>60582077
>sleepmakeswaves
I keep meaning to. Always end up missing them though. Annoys the hell out of me. I was at Mogwai, This Will Destroy You and Russian Circles though.
>>60582097
I was at Mogwai and This Will Destroy You
Definitely saw you at Destroy. Shit was so cash
>>60582177
That's honestly what inspired me to buy some pedals and start playing again
I love how on their new record Destroy blend shoegaze and post rock, into doomgaze they called it for shits and gigs
I was blown away by how sweet their pedalboards were. I had a good chance to check out the whole thing because I literally sat on the stage and watched the whole time. Talked to the guys as well
>>60582086
Not as much as you love cock

In all seriousness, can I somehow fix those chips? Like, apply paint on it again?
>>60582708
>You give Ibanez owners a bad rep here, notfam.
Ibanez already has a shitty reputation because people think they turn you into Michael angelo batio the second you touch them. And also because their pickups are dogshit.
>>60583386
just put bandaid and let it heal
oh wait
>>60583386
In all seriousness you should kill yourself.
I went out and played an open mic and didn't fall on my face. Can't wait to do it again!
>>60583549
Did you ever try to blend the DSL's distortion with the AS or the ultra chorus's clean ? I think it could sound pretty cool
Just bought an MASF possessed and I don't even know why...
>>60583603
Yes, all the time. Usually have one guy going fairly clean through the UC and another a lot dirtier on the DSL.
We'll also use the UC and AS when we use an acoustic guitar.
Haven't quite figured out how to make the AS and DSL play nice.
Is there any better pedal than the Boss DD-20 pedal for (roughly) the same price?
>>60574245
kill yourself faggot
I scratched my bass while moving long ago and I still want to fix it but it's pic related. Stop being a whiny faggot. I hope you're just b8ing.

Don't get any of the new Steinberger basses, their kinda shit to be honest. I you really want a good headless save up for an 80's XP-2, or go even further and get a real XL-2
Yo guys, what's a good starter pedal for a bass guitar? Considering getting one. I know most pedals don't come cheap, but I was hoping to get something relatively good for my money. I also really like Dead Meadow so maybe a sound like that?
>>60584408
Go for either a preamp or a compressor for your first pedal. You'll get more control over the heart of your tone that way. Effects should come second, after you develop your essential sound.
>>60583682
thats a fun pedal, make sure you don't hit it with a hot signal or line level or you're likely to damage it and have problems getting to unity gain.
Any thoughts on using a Mustang for math/post-rock?
>>60584839
go for it if you like the looks/feel. the idea that a certain brand or model is needed to play a certain type of music is ridiculous
>>60584769
What would you consider a hot signal?
I planned on running an Audible Disease CN-2 (very loud pedal) and a Strymon BlueSky into it.
Guitar and contact mic as sources.
Should I stop playing sitted and start playing with a strap? Any benefits from that?
Also, how do I improve my "consistency" ? I really have a hard time playing without errors, I have decent technical skills, and I'm always working on that but I can't even think on recording a cover or something because I always make dumb mistakes. Been playing for, around 6 years approximately.
>>60584902
well I've had one for a really long time and I've never had any issues with any of the fuzz pedals I've stacked it with, but a number of people have complained that running a fuzz pedal into theirs damaged it...i've chatted with enough people that have had it happen that I don't use mine with my synth/line level gear. I would just make sure whatever pedal you are stacking into the front of the possessed is at unity gain to be safe. you should be able to get unity gain from the possessed at noon on the volume, if its been damaged you have to crank the volume up...this is how you know if your unit has been damaged if you bought it secondhand etc.
>>60584909
>Should I stop playing sitted and start playing with a strap? Any benefits from that?
I play a lot sitting down, mainly acoustic guitars, since for a long time I didn't really have a strap.
Standing up I have a little more difficulty, but much less when using an electric guitar.
>>60585001
that's good advice, thanks.
>>60584408
Dead Meadow guitar player uses Big Muff stacked with a Ratt. Not sure what bass player uses other than Orange Amps and Ric Bass. That whole genre is about having a heavy fuzz tone so maybe look at something like a Malekko Brassmaster. It has a clean blend so you can mix your clean tone with the fuzz tone, this is pretty essential for a bass player as it lets you keep the low end. Sometimes a fuzz on bass will eat up some of the low frequencies, so whatever you get make sure it has a clean blend. Smallsound/Bigsound make really great pedals like their Buzz, their whole line up is popular with bass players.
>>60584909
sounds like you dont play gigs so why bother standing?
practice
>>60585314
No, I don't, but that's why. I was curious if I could improve something by standing up. It's just that I practice a lot but I feel that I have been progressing too slowly.
>>60585332
I don't know? Might be worth trying, give you a new perspective at least.
>>60585059
>>60585332
>>60585361
I think I'm just going to try leaving my electric unplugged and play it while standing / walking around.
The thing with gigs that I have trouble with is standing still, I tend to move around and this doesn't work well when I have a mic in front of me.
I recently got my first bass but the strings feel a bit too high, it's more difficult to play than it should be and there's quite a lot of buzz. I have no experience at all with guitar or bass maintenance and I'm scared I'll fuck up the neck or something. Should I just man up and try to fix it up myself or have a professional who knows their shit do it for me?
>>60585498
you might as well have it done right, then you will know what a properly set up instrument looks/feels like.
>>60585528
I have played on other peoples basses before buying my own so I know what it's supposed to look and feel like, I just don't know how to do it myself and with no experience I don't want to potentially ruin the bass
>>60585587
well, its not that hard to do at all. it would be far harder to damage the bass. just find a good youtube demo video and take your time.
>>60574245
>being this assblasted over cosmetic damage to a guitar
It doesn't affect the sound you retard so why care?
>>60585625
>take your time.
This is the key to setup an instrument. Don't be afraid of taking a lot of time, and don't force anything, as long as you respect those two rules it should be good.
If you want to go full autismo you can even write down the number of 1/4ths of turns you made with the truss rod or the bridge saddles.
Anybody else excited about getting this new granular delay from malekko. the charlie foxtrot. only 190$ but there should be some deals like 20% off from the usual suspects. i love the red panda particle and granular apps, great to have another pedal! has cv/exp input that allows you to control all four parameters at once, or any combination of them!!
https://malekkoheavyindustry.com/
>>60579847
I mean it's literally just an octave up effect but it's bretty gud/10
>>60576280
It's a Fender Pawn Shop Mustang. It outputs so much signal that most effects and amps distort, even if I turn down everything. I have to run my interface at Line Level, rather then instrument level. And there's no top end.
I think if you want a soloing instrument it's probably not the best idea, unless you wanna stack EQ pedals, or just turn up and block out everything else. But, in terms of being a typical supporting instrument, it's great. Takes up alot of the low end, and almost sounds like an upright because I have Flats on it.
Personally I'm not ever happy with low end Ibanez Basses; they don't have the depth I want. I feel it's like comparing a plastic icecream tub to a kick drum. But, I haven't played that one, so I can't say for sure. Have you considered the 6 string basses that are tuned E-E? I think there's an Ibanez one, and also the Fender/Squire Bass IV. I think Schecter and Ernie Ball do them too. I've played the Squire one, and it doesn't really feel or sound like a bass, but it's easy to move around the fretboard, and it cuts through, which is probably what you want?
>>60576280
>5string shortscale
The low B string is going to sound like ass. You're trading off a easeness to play for sound quality. As a guitarist, the regular SR 5 strings don't feel hard to play on, even the 6 string models aren't that disturbing.
>>60585830
There is a "bass vi" ibanez, it's the SRC6. Tosin Abasi's been messing around with one, looks pretty cool.
Now that I think about it, a fretless bass vi would be really cool.
>>60584368
time to drop the ol' guitar and get a job at macdonald's son
little faggot, we've all been there, just keep it up
>>60580767
it has a tube so gotta be good
>>60580767
sell it off and get a better sounding multi fx like a line 6 m9

guys using other pedals too but there are some really incredible sounds hes getting out of the pedal in that demo. i've got the chasebliss warped vinyl and all that digital control over an all analogue circuit is pretty awesome. wish they weren't so expensive though or i'd have all of Joel's pedals....
>>60583549
please tell me you didn't bring 10 pedals to an open mic
>>60587904
I know a little better than that.
I didn't bring anything. Played a friends guitar and he only brought a delay.

this. seariously. it's to much even for normal gig

What do you guys do when your hand is hurting?
I've been practicing loads trying to sort out my barre chords recently and the outside of my left hand is hurting, should I just keep playing or give it a day or two's rest?
>>60587597
this is a pretty bad demo desu
>>60588211
>>60587597
actually its ok, just tired and impatient today lol
>>60588183
Probably let it rest or it might get worse.
>>60588183
Do something else, learn some theory, play another instrument, shitpost on 4chan, etc..
>>60584249
kek, u mad m8?
>>60588183
give it a rest until they don't hurt
you might not be warming up enough before you practice. the easiest way to get the blood flowing before you start practicing is washing your hands with warm water. you should wash your hands before you play anyway so you don't grime up the strings like some disgusting cheeto eating teenager anyway.
>>60588306
>>60588350
alright, thanks.
>>60588447
I think it's just because my hands aren't used to exerting energy in the way that's required for barre chords. And I normally wash my hands anyway yeah.
>>60588276
i mean its not a technical demo showing the full range of each knob etc. but its a pretty good look at someone exploring the sounds available when you're just messing around. he does manage to get a lot of really cool sounds out it. saw they were shipping orders out today at cme..
>>60588161
Depends though. I usually take at least 5 pedals to a gig with my band: tuner, od for solo boost, delay, reverb and a chorus/phaser for some modulation.
>>60588970
yeah i don't see any problem with taking all the pedals you use to make the music you make?
Anyone here have a Danelectro 56 u2? I'm looking to pick one up want to get some opinions on it
>>60587845
oh lemme guess
>muh 2/3 color sunburst
>>60589088
I think it's more of an issue about it being a pain in the ass and taking a lot of time to set up and take down that pedal arrangement on stage since there's no fixed pedalboard. I gig with three pedals, and it already takes too much time while everyone's rushing to get shit done between sets
What three pickups do I buy for a Les Paul Custom? I was thinking SD Jazz in the neck, JB in the bridge but I'm not so sure about the middle. Should I just get another Jazz?
>>60589258
That's just how I have it set up in my band room because it's easier to swap/add pedals and because I can.
I'm going to make a small board for when I go out.
Where's the best place in the UK to buy a Bass neck? all the good part builders seem to be in the usa
>>60589258
Ah like that, yeah I got mine on a board. Just plug in power, 3 cables in the amp and 1 cable in my guitar and ready to go. Literally takes 1 minute.
Always check my patch cables before a show and keep spares in my case.
Is this okay for a poorfag noob? I've been wanting to learn for a year now and I've read the Justin guitar like ten times. I know I'll have to buy twice
