Come on man.
Uploading a video of me doing some bwooom stuff. My internet is shit though, so it'll probably take about an hour...
Looking for a new amp guys. Something small (15W range) that has tons of gain on tap. Not feeling $2000 for the Mark V 25, but I've heard good things about the Orange Dark Terror and the Peavey 6505+ mini. My only concern is the lack of channel switching on the Orange.
Thoughts?
>>60956423
It will be fun to see how far it can go.
>>60956493
I suppose... I can't make new threads anymore. Moved and had to go with an ISP that's banned.
>tfw I wrote the template and I can't make threads now
Just put some extra light Martins (.010) on my steel string acoustic and I have to say that it sounds a lot more quiet, a LOT less bass-y, and the notes sound a lot more flat.
Is it supposed to be this shit? Why the fuck would anyone want these?
>>60956692
>Is it supposed to be this shit?
Yes. Light gauge strings only exist for people with baby hands who need to sacrifice good tone to be able to play with their weak sausages
>>60956768
What kind of strings should I get for that nice sweet loud bass? Are mediums good (.013 i think)?
>>60956692
>>60956786
I usually go with 12-52 or 13-54 on an acoustic.
>you will never own a Green Matamp
why live
>>60956987
Why not? You can get them made to original specs by Matamp UK. It's not even that expensive.
haven't posted here in a while
how's everyone doing? any new stuff? new projects?
i've been jamming with my drummer friend. we're starting a band, or at least trying to. we have 1 song done and 3 about half-done. once they're all ready to go our friend is going to record us in his home studio. can't think of a band name though. we don't like any of each other's ideas.
>>60957058
what genre?
>>60957082
indie rock i guess

I've been spending most of my time experimenting with using a cello bow on my guitar and bass. Using cello rosin as well
Anyways, anyone have any experience with this? Any tips or tricks? Ways to make it sound as nice as possible live or in recording?

Saw an SG of the same series as your explorer second hand yesterday for 650 euro dollars, too bad I don't have that money right now.

Is that a compliment or not? Can never tell on /gg/ haha. I've always been meh at leads though. I'm hopeless now.
My right hand still works pretty well though, so I play grindcore and pretend I'm a lot better than I am still.
>>60957349
i'm complimenting you
>>60957333
I think I will, I only have a few but this happens too often because I'm a twat.
>>60957384
Ah then thanks man. I appreciate it. It's been really frustrating playing guitar these last few months. Struggling to play things that should be easy for me... Huge memory gaps and issue making new ones make playing with something in front of me extra tough too...
>>60957404
you'll get through it bro, don't worry. just keep playing.
>>60957435
Hopefully yeah. I technically am considered to have brain damage now. No one is really sure how much extra function I'm going to get back. Fingers crossed though hey.
I've been doing a lot of non-guitar stuff to try and keep my brain working. I've outright forgotten how to use DAWs though since the accident, so even basic production is frustrating...
https://clyp.it/fltjel35
Does anyone here have any experience with guitar synths or midi controllers?
I want to pick one up just for shiggles, they seem like the might be fun. I'm just not sure which ones are actually fun and which ones are just crap.
>>60957478
The 13-pin MIDI Roland stuff was good at the time. Not sure how it stacks up nowadays though.
>>60957478
Oh, also, the thing in that post is the "Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1". It looks really interesting to me but the high price tag and the fact that it's not out yet have me super wary.
>>60957472
doctors also tell cancer patients they have 3 months to live when they end up living for 3 years. if it makes you feel any better you're better than i am at stuff even with brain damage. it could be much worse mate, just stay positive and keep doing stuff. what kind of games do you play?
>>60957186
>Avoid them. They've developed a reputation for being unreliable and the guy who runs the place is apparently an asshole.
apparently so. heard stories of people waiting 3 years for the amps to arrive. gonna stick with my dual terror for now till i decide to get the Matamp GT-1
recently got into bass
any tips for a beginner
I can play a few songs
but I want to eventually write basslines of my own
what should I be practiving and researching
>>60957513
I originally got told I should be fine and it just post-concussion syndrome. They did an MRI a couple months after when I wasn't really getting better and found out I had two hemorrhages. Seems it went backwards for me.
>games
Been wasting my time with whatever lately. I was playing SWTOR for a bit, but I've gone back to just laying and listening to music mainly. Haven't had much energy again the last couple weeks. Get really bad brain fade and fatigue some days.
>>60957638
If you're a Vietnam vet you'll get it before anyone else. I'd probably go with Hovercraft, Verellen, or a vintage ORANGE if you live in the states.
>>60957293

That's a shame, it looks really good.

This isn't always a good thing though, my grandfather was told that he had 6 months to live and ended up living for another 2 years. And trust me, it would have been better if he only lived for 6 months, the pain he was in was unbearable to watch.

Friendly reminder. If you do not like or praise microtonal music, you are a racist and a bigot.
>>60959710
$1000-1200 is average, but that's the sound you're hearing.
I tend to use washy delays instead. Everything here is a guitar, almost no reverb was used, you're mileage may vary though.

>>60959733
>microtonal music
just heard this on youtube, sounds like a car crash
>>60959710
You can probably do everything with the delay you have and a nice reverb.
I suggest you go to your local guitar store and line up every reverb they have in stock and play them all 'til you find one you like.
>>60959760
That's because your racist ears only ever heard racist western tuning. At least according to this guy

>A=432 Hz, known as Verdi’s ‘A’ is an alternative tuning that is mathematically consistent with the universe. Music based on 432Hz transmits beneficial healing energy, because it is a pure tone of math fundamental to nature.
>This tuning was unanimously approved at the Congress of Italian musicians in 1881 and recommended by the physicists Joseph Sauveur and Felix Savart as well as by the Italian scientist Bartolomeo Grassi Landi.
In contrast, the frequency chosen in London in 1953 as the worldwide reference frequency and which all music today has been tuned to, has come to be defined as ‘disharmonic’ because it has no scientific relationship to the physical laws that govern our universe.

Yeah, but there's a limit to what you can get from YouTube reviews - sometimes you really need to hear them live and feel how they react to your playing - I've certainly been disappointed with gear that I've ordered online that sounded great in reviews
It's worth the extra effort to get something that works properly for you.
I spent ages playing compressors a while ago doing side by side tests and found the one I thought I was going to get (Dyna comp) I hated live. Ended up with a Boss which does what I want better than the Strymon which was 3 time the price

Holy shit this is horrible.

Thanks. Everything there is a guitar. I'm almost always using delay over reverb. Eg the lead has no reverb.

You know the 432 "healing energy" thing is bullshit right? It's the same as healing crystals and salt rocks cleansing your spirit.
Anyone else adjusts their humbuckers pole pieces to match radius? My guitar tech did it last time he put new pickups and I'm not sure if it's common or best.

Alright. For your purposes here are my recs.
Low budget:
Digitech Digiverb
Line 6 Verbzilla
These are very nice for the price and will give you great results.
Mid budget:
Boss RV6 (it also has a delay+verb mode)
Digitech Supernatural/Polara
EQD Dispatch Master
High budget:
Neunaber Stereo Wet
I believe that the wet is the best reverb available on the market. But the Boss comes suprisingly close. If you have a bit less money to invest. Just get the RV6, it is fantastic
>>60960665
>Digitech Supernatural/Polara
These are good, I like them.
>>60960663
T2 is better.
>>60960653
what exactly, in your own, technical terms, do you find to be lacking?
be precise; anything vague or generalizing and you lose all credibility
>>60956452
>Orange Dark Terror
Go with the Orange. Peavey is overpriced for what you get.
>>60960663
Nah. It's very disappointing, especially compared to others in its price range. The toneprint feature is great, but inlike the flashback, the reverb engine is very uninspiring.
>>60959612
those reverbs have very long decay times, its not really 'wetness' -that would describe more of a spring type of reverb that has a really percussive attack and a short sharp/boingy decay
I'd look at pedals with long decays times like mr black supermoon, plate reverb type pedals like catalinbread talisman...polara had a really nice plate setting
>>60960698
For music production? Pretty much everything can be done better in my DAW on Windows. Software and hardware side.
The big one is Linux has no support for most of my rack equipment which can be (and is very useful) controlled via USB on Windows. A side effect of that is reamping becomes unnecessarily difficult.
Outside of that? Most desktop environments besides GNOME 2 and OpenBox annoy me, and I've almost always had various issues with OpenGL and my HDD clusters.
If I want to nitpick, the server work I used it for required me to hook to X anyway, so it ended up making more sense in the long-run to Windows for the added stability and sacrificing system resources to the Microsoft demons.
Happy?
>>60960717
Yeah I had a HOF, it was not a very good reverb compared to otherstuff in its price range like the polara, hardwire supernatural or rv-7.
>>60960449
Yeah check out Song X with Ornette Coleman to hear what I'm talking about.
On second thought Joe Morris can actually be pretty based, his duets with Anthony Braxton are pretty good
My gear:
US Fender Stratocaster Sunburst w/ Rosewood neck - some crappish 100W Peavy Amp (I'm losing my faith in Electric guitar desu)

Desired gear:
A 12 string guitar - http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EF381SC
Was looking at this, but I think it might be discontinued because I can't find them on the Takamine website. Anyone know solid 12 string makers?
Been playing since I was about 11, and I'm 17, just about to turn 18 now. I didn't play for a year in between and at one point when I was 12-13 I thought I was shit hot on Electric cause' I was playing Hendrix and learning solos by ear shit. Yeah I learnt mostly by ear - now I'm starting to use tabs and shit. Can't read music.

Jimi Hendrix, Tommy Emmanuel, Akihiro Tanaka, Sungha Jung, Bit of Martin Taylor, Sam Westphalen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adKeJahZGt0 digging this hard out right now
Projects:
Writing music at the moment. I'm stuck because of what I mentioned above. I like learning songs and all but, I get really bored very fast. I learn something in a few days and get bored. I take what I learn from those songs, whether it be new chord shapes or plucking/strumming patterns and write my own shit..as does everyone really. I'm stuck 'cause I can't read music and know the...ins and outs of certain keys and that so...it limits what I could do, not knowing there could be this really mad string to play or really mad chord to strum that I could add to my progressions. Anyway....I'm gonna give those links a look.

My friend has both the RV6 and th HoF and the RV6 just blows it away. It sounds a thousand times better. He keeps the HOF for vocals though. It's not a bad pedal, there is just so much better.
>>60960854
TC Electronic stuff is really unreliable too. The 9v jack on my HOF stopped working, the switch on my flashback broke. It's pretty junky stuff.
Oh and this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKJRDmOLy_w
Can someone who is jiggy with the music theory explain to me whats happening and why the slight transition from the riff before to 1:06 sounds so amazing. Is it just because they're playing the full chords or something?

>>60960878
>tfw I own 3 TC pedals

could someone help me out?
I'm trying to write a jazzy solo over a minor I-III-V-II progression, but I don't know shit about jazz guitar. Anyone got any tips?
>>60960837
I wrote it on my phone too haha. Like I said, Linux is cool. I pick it up every other year and use it for general use for a few months.
I could NEVER imagine using it for production though, it's not there yet and likely never will be.
As for DEs I liked GNOME 2 but it's gone now. I forget what the remake was called. Beryl (did it become Compiz?) was kind of cool for general use workflow back when I had one 1280x1024 monitor, but it's become redundant for me in the world of multiple monitor setups.

This is the downside of shopping for proprietary crap. You'd be stuck on that platform even if you wanted to change.
I firmly believe that the platform can't be held responsible for what the third party developers and manufacturers do but in the end, if it doesn't support it, it doesn't. So here, that's your valid argument.
>If I want to nitpick, the server work I used it for required me to hook to X anyway, so it ended up making more sense in the long-run to Windows
I fail to see how it makes "more sense", seriously. You need a display manager for your server machine so you might as well run the one that's worse at everything server-related? Because it comes bundled by default?
Unless you're running an AD based network or something, it just boggles the mind.
>>60960823
>hardwire supernatural or rv-7
I had an RV-7, it was somewhat lackluster but at least it was a cheap pedal with a reverse function.
Parents want to get me a gift for Christmas. I kinda want some form of instrument to try.
I have played acoustic guitar and ukulele in past for fun.
I want something electric. I have an amp.
Should I ask for a Vorson electric tenor ukulele or some kind of electric guitar.
Price limit is 250 at most.
>>60960900
There's one that looks like that in my closest guitar shop, it's a gretsch I think.
Price tag's around 3K.

>>60960961
>I thought I made myself clear mate
Cling to that if you want, but GENERAL functionality is behind. The workflow, plugins, MIDI support, interface support, I/O support, etc, etc, etc.
>This is the downside of shopping for proprietary crap. You'd be stuck on that platform even if you wanted to change.
>Proprietary crap
I use what I use because most of it is the best at what it does. Linux is the weak link here, it works on everything else.
>I firmly believe that the platform can't be held responsible for what the third party developers and manufacturers do
In this case I pretty much can. The developers have made the drivers and software for MAC and Windows. The market share for Linux is irrelevant in this industry so they didn't make a driver--why would they? As a result it becomes a problem with Linux. Unless developers see value in it there will always be support issues.
>You need a display manager
Hook to X. Not use X. Have you never used Windows based server software in Linux before? You just run the back end of X and hook the software into it. It leads to stability issues because you're jury rigging it actually work.
Like I said, OS elitism is fucking stupid. If you want to use Linux for production, then power to you, but coming here and trying to have a bitch fit at people for using Windows or MAC is a waste of your time, as well as mine. Get your head out your ass and talk about guitars with us, or go make a thread on /g/.
>>60961024
I've used a handful of distros over the last ten to fifteen years, but I've stuck with Arch for my on and off Linux use for the last six or so.

Which amp and what kind of music do you intend to play?
>>60961073
Looks qt but I never played one.
>>60961046
gee thanks
>>60961096
Crate amp. I forget the make its my brothers he bought for playing his ibanez sg a fiew years ago. He upgraded to a martial.
Probably just messing around. I'm not a good player. I mostly listen to classical jazz and classic rock (and anime and game music.) so probably that stuff
I have messed around on acoustic and classical guitar in past. (I have one of each)
Any suggestions? Parents are adamant about not giving me cash. And I'm not one to turn down a gift..

yeah, its based on the gretsch bo diddley model.
TK Smith guitars are really really expensive.
http://tksmith.net/
His telecasters start at 4k and his Bigsby style ones are 8k. I bet this was 10k+.
>>60961108
okay if you want real advice. A cheap way to make your shit sound jazzy is to take the pentantonic scale (i, III, iv, v, VI) and add a flat 5th. E.G. if you're playing in Am, add D# as a passing note. It gives it a bit of a jazz vibe just because it's a chromatic note. You can also take your pentatonic shapes and 'fill in' so to speak the notes between the pentatonic notes as passing notes.
>>60961155
>That's more or less my point, glad someone else gets it.
I've self-produced albums and recorded demos on software that can be used on Linux.
But if I wanted to get serious, I'd go to an actual studio and work with an engineer/producer and learn their tricks of the trade.
>>60961073
I'm not sure what it is with TC Electronic pedals, but they all seem to zap something about your tone, or put some kind of mushy dullness into your signal. I had that impression with the HOF, Mojomojo and flashback I had.
I think the digitech polara delay is probably the direct competitor to the flashback. Boss have some neat digital delays.
In my experience, its always better to go for one pedal that does something really specific and well than to go for a pedal that has a jack of all trades thing.
>>60961052
if you run a studio you're probably looking for some sort of guarantee behind your massively expensive purchases, be that 24/7 support, assurance that it'll work as advertised for as long as guaranteed and continuous firmware/software updates
in that case, then yes, it makes perfect sense to run OS X or even Windows. business is business.
but in your bedroom, where you're not going to need ultra sophisticated quality of life features and can definitely benefit from spare time, personal ingenuity and lack of deadlines, you are only hurting yourself by running the "industry" standard stuff
plus you're going to perpetuate the kind of deeply ingrained habits that makes the software industry so awful and anti-consumer once you do go professional
>The workflow
this is entirely subjective. many people in 3d shit on blender for being a pain to use. yet those who spend the time to learn have nothing but praise for it. the same is true for ardour (or bitwig if you're loaded).
>MIDI support
okay, you're gonna have to elaborate here.
>interface support / I/O support
just as long as your hardware is standard compliant it'll work out of the box with zero setup necessary
it's when you buy the special snowflake defective-by-design shit that you'll run into issues
>Unless developers see value in it there will always be support issues.
the chicken-and-egg argument is a cop out. if the users see value in it then so will the developers. hell, this is why OS X is used at all even though the desktop market share is also tiny, and also why linux is growing in hollywood as well.
"it's not going to happen because it's not happening already". fuck this line of thought.
>Like I said, OS elitism is fucking stupid
I don't believe in OS elitism, I believe in ideology. If it was Linux vs BSD vs Plan9 (or whatever the fuck) I'd be happy as shit. but right now it's linux vs godawful vs abysmal.

Sounds like the kind of problem that could be solved with a buffer, Guthrie Govan has a ditto, flashback and HOF on his pedalboard but doesn't sound like you say.
Also I wish there was a digital delay with an FX loop, I know the EHX Memory boy has one but the delay's a bit short.
>>60961149
If you could get a little extra, these might be a good option.

Hence you sound like a cultist.

I do have plenty to add, but I'm going to sleep.
I don't run proprietary equipment, it's a mix of old stuff with limited support anywhere (nonexistent on Linux), or modern units with front ends that don't work on Linux. Sure I could tweak straight on the units, but why would I do that when there are front ends?

>>60961606
Can't be assed typing it up on my phone, but an easy example would be my AxeFX. AxeEdit works in Wine when it feels like it (see: usually not), but even if it does, then usually Linux can't pass MIDI data to it anyway. Add in frequent trouble reading its inputs and outputs and it's not worth even trying.
Similar issues on most of my equipment and limited MIDI capabilities all around.
>>60961207
yeah I've been fucking around with that a bit, sliding from the blue note to the 5th and doing little sweeps up to a 4th make for good gestures, but there doesn't feel like there's any meat to what I'm playing. IDK I'll just get good, I suppose, Thx anon

>>60960953
I like Derek Bailey for trying something new in his time but I feel like he indirectly ruined free jazz guitar with his "non-idiomatic" approach. It gave any hack a free pass to not bother trying to learn to play traditionally before experimenting. Now we have him to thank for the dozens of talentless "noise" guitarists aimlessly wanking passing themselves off as free improvisers.
I don't consider him a free jazz guitarist because his playing isn't really rooted in the jazz idiom and it wasn't intended to be. There is a serious lack of free jazz guitarists that can actually play straight ahead like most of the free jazz greats could on other instruments.
>>60962099
Buzz can be
>nut
>saddles
>neck rod too tight
Have it set up.
bought this as a christmas present for myself. made in the soviet union around 1987. supposedly it is heavy as fuck, clunky to play and sounds terrible, so it's basically the perfect bass for me.
gonna use it for a fuzzy downstrokes-only garage kraut type of project.
>>60962099
Adjust the truss rod so the neck is straight, then adjust the bridge height.
>>60962253
I love to soak my headstock in lemonade if you know what I mean. But yeah, because people.

>>Pedal boards with 50 pedals and they use 2 of them

>>Using a clean amp and a fuzz/distortion pedal to obtain a high gain sound
If you haven't got anything else then it's fine, but if you're buying a brand new jazz chorus just to put a boss HM2 in front of it to make OSDM then yeah you're pretty right.
>>Using lemonade to soak your headstock in

The only thing I seriously hate is people who follow trends like they are guideline or the "I don't learn theory because it limits creativity" kind of people.

Using a 24" straightedge will help. If the nut was ever cut to compensate for neck bow you'll have to shim it or fill and recut the slots, but it will probably be fine.

Why do fretless guitar/basses cost a lot more when they seem like a lot less work ?
Is it just because of supply and demand ?
>>60960888
I think you must like the sound of open strings playing along with some more traditional chords to create unique and very open voicings.
Like this guy here explains:
https://youtu.be/oGx1x02ErCc
>>60962483
Good question. The only other difference besides no frets is the position of the side markers. Its not like they have to retool the assembly line.
>>60962369
Yeah I think people forget that most "free jazz" actually had some sense of structure. Everything from Ornette to Cecil Taylor had a system or organization, it was never meant to be random music.
That's a good Scofield album, probably one of my favorites from him
>>60962478
I actually like that he's kind of restrained here.
>>60962355
You could always zip tie the cables going to and from the amp to each other.
so i've had my tele for about 5-6 years now, plays fine, but i noticed when i was cleaning my frets the other day that there is some fairly noticeable dents all over them
i know dents are normal, but i figured they would have lasted longer than this. am i just pushing too hard or is this completely normal to get dents so early?
>>60961772
I think of the flat 5 as more bluesy than jazzy. Not saying it isn't or shouldn't be used in jazz. Just saying, if you're trying for something jazzy and relying on the flat 5 to get you there, I think it's going to fall flat (5).
>>60962710
How much do you play a day ?
Also if it's just small dents it shouldn't be too much work for a tech.
>>60962384
separate on/off switches for each microphone, one is for built-in fuzz (i know, kek) and the other two are just there for looks i guess. don't seem to do anything.
>>60962785
i only really practice on that specific guitar like maybe 5-6 hours a week, i use it mainly for band practice/gigs and practice on a different guitar when i'm home
the dents aren't causing a problem in my playing as far as i can tell, no dead spots, but it's pretty..well... ugly

The stigma is wearing me down. I can play in standard just fine, but when talking to other musicians it's either "Drop D, like two steps down too, right?" or "Drop D? Lazy, just tune to Standard".
I can't take it any more. Drop D has become the bastard child tuning.
>>60962710
Its normal. They need to be leveled. $150 including full setup.
>>60962785
Its not too much work, but its not a small job either.
>>60962989
That's because drop tuning is shit anon.
Should have tuned to Open C.
>>60962854
Theyll get deeper and cause fret buzz or fretting out.
>>60963029
I like the idea of opening tunings.
Every one does.
But in practice... they just end up feeling really limited. I also don't want to have to resetup a short scale guitar (Gibson) to do low brutalz.

Don't get the Hall of Fame. Everybody in this thread is shitting on it and believe me it's not for nothing. There are many better reverbs at that price

there's nothing forcing you to own only one guitar
if you're broke then just get a MiM tele and something else with humbuckers
>>60964507
But I can't switch guitars mid-song while playing live
>>60964554
no but you can switch in-between songs
do I really have to explain to a gigging musician the advantages of owning multiple instruments
>>60964554
Get a tele and pop some singlecoil spaced humbuckers in it.
>>60964468
Hot railsssssssss
>>60964591
But anon, songs have both hi gain sections and clean sections that would sound magnificient on a tele
I know the advantages of owning multiple instruments, I would carry my SG anyways
>>60964673
Well here's my advice. Get the tele, treat yourself. If it works for your material then good. If it doesn't than you might be able to compensate with some other piece of gear. If not then you have a tele that you can have fun with and sell back for the same price you paid.

Put a singlecoil spaced humbucker in the bridge and use that for the heavy high gain stuff and flip to a single coil in the neck posish for your clean sections. idk

Use two single-sized humbuckers, and use a 5-way switch so you can have coil splitting.

Hey all - I'm using the Elevenrack, and I feel it is subpar. I also have a Crate Paolomino which is decent too.
I want to get an AxeFX (II) or simulator, what are your thoughts or opinions? I'm using primarily a digital setup anyway.
>>60966140
Ive got one and they dont really make a vlave tone, anon. They are, however, incredible little amplifiers.
>>60966045
Provided you dont have to fund a new guitar with your current one, then you can never have too many guitars.
In all seriousness though I would maybe look at the tiny terror, from what I've seen it doesn't have to be turned up loud to sound good.

Everyone praises this amp so much and I have no idea why. My sister got it for me last Christmas. Every amp model sucks on it except the clean one. It comes with Cubase 'cheapass edition' but after a month or 20 exports you can't even export your recordings. Plus a lot of these come with defective power supplies, like mine did so you'll either have to ask for a replacement or fix it yourself somehow. I couldn't replace it so my electrician friend made this crazy thing (the one with the blue LED on top) for me, which is like a noise gate for the PU or something.

People who are like "you have to know (whatever the fuck) or you're just no good"... technical one-up-manship over good exciting imaginative playing

thats not a THR5
>>60966832
THR5 and THR10 are basically the same, THR10 just has 2 more knobs on it for guitar and AUX volume. The amplifiers in them are identical.

That's more expensive than a DSL40C here, wow. I think I'll stay with one of the Marshalls.
But still, would that keep me busy?
>>60966832
>>60966859
...well I made a mistake, it seems THR10 has presets and can take acoustic and bass guitars as well. There might be something else I'm missing. Nonetheless, the guitar amp models are identical and I think they offer nothing more than an average affordable modeling amp would. The clean is really good though and I'm quite fortunate cause it's all that I need.

Yes, but you'll want it done by an experienced painter.

Tell me why I shouldn't do this.
How is this for playing for about ~5 months?

x2n into an ibanez gio won't change the fact the ibanez gio is a piece of shit.
>>60967301
I like it.
>>60967301
very good for 5 months
just a few timing and muting mistakes here and there but more right than wrong overall
keep it up
>>60967330
I know, but even if I bought a new amp to last, then a decent guitar, I'd still want to put a x2n in there. I won't buy a new guitar plus a x2n because my amp is still shit.
>>60967371
Oh, yeah, there were definitely some timing issues. I'm really tweaking out on caffeine because finals right now and that really is fucking my rhythm up a lot
I definitely need to work on the muting though, my biggest issue now is accidental muting
Thanks though! I have no plans of stopping, guitar is a hell of a lot of fun
