Picked up one of these for $350 with a case a couple weeks ago. How'd I do?
just ordered a new Big Muff and a Carbon Copy. Stoked.
>>60973261
>Never gotten my head around why people play Gibson
Why not?
Gibsons are really nice
I grabbed mine while it was on a sale for super cheap
>>60973502
pretty good m8, the nanomag pickup option is pretty cool.
really want to get back into playing my electrics but I have no amp to play on
>>60973744
cop a usb interface + gr4 nigga
Has Fender been cracking down on replacement body builders? Just a couple of months ago there were all types of exotic strat/tele replacement bodies now there are significantly less.
>>60973502
would cop, top tier color
the chord progression in this song i'm working on right now goes like this -
0 - 0 - 8 - 9 - 9 - 0
0 - 0 - 6 - 7 - 7 - 0
0 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 0
where can i go from there?
>>60974164
...am I being trolled?
>>60974218
no sorry i'm new
So I've got an amp with 4, 8, and 16 outputs, one of each. Is there any way I can run 2 cabs if both of the cabs only have one input? I only ask because I remember some of the old Sunns that had and 8 and a 16 could be still be run with a 16 ohm cab hooked up to each?
>>60974245
Why not play it like this
--344----
012200
012200
012200
Basically the same thing, unless you're just trying to show off how far you can stretch
>>60974276
Depends on your amp
With 2 cabs some will split the impedance in half, some will double it
>>60974301
what? it's an e major except i just move it to the 9th fret then the 7th
what the fuck are you talking about
did i tab it wrong
what up /gg/
>>60974359
are those just powerchords? if so you definitely tabbed it wrong
>>60974380
it's an e major shape
starts at the 9th fret
then moves to the 7th
then it goes the original e major position
fuck
>>60974359
The way you tabbed it is a chromatic power chord with a lower octave thing that appears to be in drop d. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>60974164
>purple bottle chord progression tb.h famalamadingdong
>>60974446
i see, sounds nice
http://vocaroo.com/i/s10Gvc2QI3bz
(i know it sounds like shit. un-amped elec + laptop mic)
i tried playing it and moving between different frets, it's really not that hard to find ones that sound good
>>60974380
Cool Tele. One of my old Strats had a die as the pickup selector nub.
this guy gets it
>>60974599
did i write the tabs backwards or something? i'm just having trouble finding other chords to go with it. A sounds like shit, e minor sounds like shit, f sounds like shit, g doesn't fit
>>60974618
ty, you got any pics of the strat?
mine isn't actually fender/squier, it was made by an unknown artisan who seemed to like dice
I don't blame him
>>60974674
By old strat I meant that I haven't owned it in a long time. Only pic I had of it is physical and it was taken before the dice switch happened. Looks really well made though.
I'm new at music what's a good pedal for bass so I can play pop punk music? Btw I have a Ibanez.

This is how it's supposed to be tabbed, I guess. The chords are B, A, E major. Without the index finger.
>>60974747
you don't need a pedal
just get a good amp
>>60974780

>>60973349
Hey /mu/ I'm buying a left handed strat and I'm gonna set it up to be played right handed, just wondering have any of you done this before? what were the results? thanks guys
>>60974930
It'll have shit fret access and the tremolo will be upside down. Still gives some cool sounds because of the different string lengths and the reverse bridge pickup. Just make sure the nut slots match up with the new gauges.
>>60974870
shit dope m8 thx
Do you ever find yourself putzing around on the guitar
then you play a progression

and think "where the fuck do I know this from?"
I do this almost ever day
>>60975019

that shit happens too often
>>60975033
No, I'm not a hack who play derivative material. All my shits original and innovative

Sorry to break it to you like this, you were born 50 years too late
>>60975141
>le wrong generation
>>60975141
I can see how someone who likes the misfits would think that

>>60973693
I think Gibsons are overrated to a degree. They're nice guitars, but you can find MIJ clones that play and sound just as good, not to mention if you know which Epiphones to get you can cop a Gibson authorized copy that's as good, if not better, then some of the shit coming out of the Gibson factory in the past 10 or so years.
>>60975246
They're the epitome of bland and derivative music
>>60975329
>muh hendrix
>>60975337
I still don't understand the reasoning behind that. It's not like I only listen to Misfits, and I sure as hell don't listen to them because of their originality
When I said no innovative music exists anymore I was mainly joking, but you can't deny that creating original music is a lot harder than it was in the past
>>60975336
I dunno. I personally like my 2015 and I feel like people shit on the G-force WAY too much.
Definitely not as nice as old ones but also definitely still fantastic guitars.
>>60973502
I have this exact guitar, it's really cool and the nanomag pickup is a great feature. You did pretty well anon.
Although the color actually does not look like that nice shade of grey, there's a tinge of green in it.
>>60975393
I don't understand why'd you'd listen to them at all.
Also
>I can't create original music so nobody can
>>60975325
will do. thanks dude
>>60975443
Please refrain from shoving words in my mouth. I never said I can't create original music - and I never said nobody can either.
I listen to them because they're the one first band that got me into music and because they're an excellent punk rock band
>>60975537
Yeah you did you back pedaling mothefucker. I doubt I'd have enough room to fit words in your mouth with Jerry onlys dick taking up permanent residence.
>they're an excellent punk rock band
No they're not
I'm 27 and have no rhythm. Is it too late to learn how to play bass?
>>60975699
You're already on par with most bassists, go for it
>>60975661
Prove that I said that. Quote the exact part of my post where I said it because honestly I can't remember. I must have Alzheimer's.
Misfits are an outstanding punk band. They have a good sound, they're catchy, they have simple yet interesting/different lyrics with a great vocalist. I'm talking about the original Misfits with Danzig, of course. And Jerry Only is one of the biggest cunts I could ever think of. Wanna stay here all night arguing because someone enjoys something and you don't?
>>60975337
>>60975661
Also,
>They're the epitome of bland and derivative music
They literally created a genre of their own
>>60975745
I doubt you have Alzheimer's, I've never heard of someone developing it at the age of 15, but I guess anything is possible. I couldn't care less about you likening the misfits, I know tons of people that like shitty music and you're just one more. As for them being good, that's wrong. They're not good, not catchy, not clever, and hardly even punk.
>>60975845
The world's most boring band created the world's cheesiest genre full of pompadors and puns. No thanks.
>>60975891
You are obviously horribly frustrated so I'm not even going to keep taking you seriously. There are better ways to cope with your depression, you could be drinking and smashing cars or fucking mainlining hard drugs, you'll never get rid of all that anger if the only thing you do is talk shit to people with different musical opinions
And the fact that you don't like them, or the genre they spawned (and I don't fucking like it either, incidentally they're the only horror punk band I like) means jack shit. You can't deny facts - their originality is a fact. So have a good night Jacob, be careful not to spill tears on your computer or you'll probably damage it
>>60975988
You actually seem mad. My bad bro. I thought we were having a legitimate discussion about music, then you start making assumptions and hurling insults.
>>60975988
You said first they weren't original, now you're defending their originality?
>>60975988
The misfags sucking isn't an opinion. Are you 12?
>>60976075
I said I don't listen to them \because\ they're original
Which is not saying they're not. But that's simply not why I listen to them.
Then it dawned on me that the whole premise of the other guy's 'theory' was dubious at best, and I thought it was appropriate to tell him.
But I'm tired of arguing with a child
>>60976144
>arguing with a child
I think you got it backwards senpai
Samefagging insults only serves to prove me right.

Can't believe what I'm reading. It has been a shitty past few days for /gg/. Is it winter break already?
Usually bring up 5150s and 6505s when people mention drone doom and bwooom tones. Threw this up yesterday. Using a separate preamp, but most of the tones heft is volume from the 6505.
I can do another that's straight 6505 if anyone wants.

>>60977256
well that came out really fucked up. i never use tabs so i don't really have any idea how to make them.
what i'm trying to say is use the chords i tabbed (c#minor and E-->A) and on the half beat before the 2nd bar is where you start the slide.
>>60976687
Nice, it's got a Burning Witch vibe. What are your settings like for that?

>>60977323
Cheers. It's fun to just play simple riffs stupidly loud occasionally.
>>60977450
>It's got a Burning Witch vibe
Funny you say that. The patch is called Burning Tone and most of the riffs were badly played sections of Tower Place.
>What are you settings like for that
Pic related it the settings on the fuzz pedal. It's basically a Rams Head Big Muff without the mid scoop. AxeFX is running a JTM-45 sim, gain 4, bass 6, mid 4.5, treb 5, presence 6.
Got a 500ms delay and a small spring after that, mixes are only set to 15% and 20% respectively though.
Then it's going out to the 6505 with the volume around 4.
The leads on that patch come out pretty well too. Have you forgive my shit playing, still learning how again.

>>60977571
Wrong picture, my bad.
Does anyone else do this? Adjust polepieces to match radius? I'm not sure if it fucks up the string balance, changes the overall tone of the pickup (brighter) or what.
>>60975162
That's kinda true though, whatever you write somebody has probably done it before, regardless.
Music has a few thousand years of history.
Does anyone here have any experience on the Bugera V55 Infinium? The concept with tube life and bias seems really cool and it sounds like it has a lot of headroom for great fuzz. Also what's the reverb like maxed out or at a high setting on this?
>>60978228
I don't usually bother, but there's no reason not too.
>>60978371
Avoid Bugera. Dealers here refuse to stock them for a reason.
>>60974930
I'll be doing this when I have some extra monies lying around to throw at Ishibashi tbphwy.

>>60976616
I played a 2016 LP Studio a few weeks back and it was OK, but it didn't impress me much. Had a nice satin finish, sounded ok, but it didn't impress me any more than the Epi I played with the satin back and neck I played the same GC visit. And the thing that bothers me most about Gibsons compared to good Epiphones or MIJ clones is the fucking fret nibs in the binding. If I accidentally do too wide a vibrato, it sounds shitty because the string hops over that miniscule dip and you can hear it. Don't get me wrong, my favorite guitar is the Les Paul, and I love SGs, Explorers, Flying Vs (while standing at least), and their arch tops are amazing.

Have fun with burning your house down.
How do the late 1960s early 1970s Fender Bassmans compare to the original 1959 Fender Bassman when playing fuzzy blues like Hendrix? Will they be able to sound the same?
For the past 6 months, all I've played was a cheap guitar my dad bought in the 90s.
Then, today I messed around with a few guitars and the Taylors just blew me away, and now I really want to buy one.
Should I do it, guys? Is there anything I need to wary of with Taylor guitars?

So I've offered to buy this 2008 Super Sonic head for $450, is this a good deal? It's in mint condition and Barkley unplayed too and I like the drive and the 60 watt handling is a bonus as well.
>>60973744
Sg kek? Is that you?
I've been using ernie ball hybrid slinkies (9-46) on my strat but I've been thinking about upgrading to maybe a set of standard 11s. How hard would it be to get used to it? Will it damage the guitar/neck, etc.? Do they it really sound better?
>>60980417
The sound better thing is very debated. I feel they do sound better for me, but there are a lot of people who got amazing tone with super thin strings while there are others who used really heavy strings who sounded like shit. Personally I just like the feel of heavier strings much more; I can't play on 9s.
I recommend you play 10s for a bit before you go to 11s. Changing your string gauge is VERY noticeable and will take some adjusting.
>>60980417
Depends on what you play. .11s are generally used for jazz or heavy metal/rock. I use a set of .10s on my Strat and I generally find they strike a nice balance for the sort of music I do (lead work, prog rock, fusion). A thicker string gauge isn't necessarily an upgrade per se, unless the strings you're using for a particular style of music just aren't cutting it (i.e. trying to get beefy "chugging" rhythm tones with a set of .8s).
If you're looking for a versatile string set I recommend the Ernie Ball "Skinny Top, Heavy Bottom" set. The lightest three strings will still be easy to bend while you can still get a nice pronounced rhythm tone from the wound strings.
>>60980024
Trial and error, my friend. Pretty much as long as you don't force anything it's actually difficult to fuck up irreparably. Adjust the truss rod a quarter turn max every time and don't strip your screws and you're golden. And if you fuck it up worse as long as you didn't force anything (can't stress that enough especially with the truss rod), someone qualified can fix it easily. I never understood guitarists that can't set their own gear up, a tech is going to set it to the lowest possible action without buzz and for some players that's not ideal. I prefer a slightly higher action as it enables me to easier mute strings with the edge of a fretting finger without accidentally fretting the string, plus it makes sweep picking easier because I don't have to completely let a string go to mute it, I can just ease the pressure and that'll usually kill the note quietly. I realize you're a bassist, but I've been playing bass for 13 years as well, just not seriously in almost 10. However, I still remember how to set up a bass and it's not that difficult.
>>60977507
>implying
>>60980417
It's all personal preference. I prefer stainless .10s on my Les Paul that I tune to Eb or D standard depending on my mood, but I've got my Kelly strung up with stainless 13s in B. With the Paul in Eb, it's about the same tension, with the 13s maybe being a hair tighter but not enough to make a difference to my fingers. I notice a little more slackness in D, but it's still not that big, like the difference between an electric with 9s and 10s.
Remember how this guy was "the" internet guitar seller before Rob?
>>60980024
What this guy said
>>60981137
I'd also add before you do anything to try to fix, remove the strings, loosen the truss rod till it's completely slack and allow it to sit 24-48 hrs allowing the neck to relax(I can't tell you how many I've saved over the years just by doing this, every kid just keeps tightening them just short of breaking or stripping, then gives up.), clean everything, restring and start set-up. re-check after a couple days just to make sure everything's how you like it.
>>60981456
much better hair
How often do you guys replace strings, and is it worth getting expensive ones? New strings are bliss, but after a day the magic is already gone
>>60981478
Just always wipe it with dry cloth after you're done playing.

>>60978228
>Does anyone else do this? Adjust polepieces to match radius?
I think guys like Dan Erlewine recommend doing this. If it makes you happy, do it.
>>60981476
More like much more hair
>>60981478
About every 2 weeks, wash hands before playing, wipe strings after. It's pretty amazing how long they'll sound good.
>>60981523
Yeah playing-wise I like Phil a lot better, I don't really listen to their music though.
>>60981523
Phil x is 10 times more ADD than Rob. He's kind of trapped in a eddie vedder coverband persona.

i have to constantly use rags to clean the underside of the strings to get all the gunk and shit off them. it's fucking annoying. elixirs are the only strings that last me a long time, but i hate how they feel like a condom wrapped around a string

Honestly they sound world's apart. The Circuits were so vastly changed during the 60's. The Blackface/Silverface amps have much higher headroom and don't really distort in the same way. The only Bassman of that era with a 4x10 cabinet (Bassman 10) is from what I've heard not a very good amp. However, they take pedals incredibly well

>>60978228
I adjust my pole pieces if I don't have balanced string volumes, and only to the point where all the strings sound equal in volume.
Other than a Strat, what do I need for a Bluesy kind of tone? Jangly with gain, but still precise.
Help me pick my first amp /gg/
I'm settling for a VM Tele since I want to play twinkly emo stuff. I probably have 150 bucks to spare for the amp. I've been lurking and seeing that Fender or Vox amps are good for this style.
>>60982384
Used guitar and a little Peavey Vypyr. You might end up hating the amp, but it's cheap and good enough until you figure out if you want to stick with it or not.
>>60979859
good job, thats how you destroy the transformer in the amp anon.
How do I get the wah-like bass sound of video games soundtracks? Is it just a wah pedal?

>>60983410
Well if you're not planning on gigging and simply just playing and practicing by yourself get a fender mustang amp. Theyre great amps and the software is fairly simple to use so you can tweak then on your computer. Highly recommend them

If you're replacing the 3rd with the 4th, I think you're essentially playing an inversion of a minor 7th chord.
I think it's a common jazz chord substitution.
For example, instead of playing G7, you can play a Dm 7th.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
>>60983793
is it G11 or G7
but no G7/11?
>>60983793
>substitution
I think it's an extension not a substitution
(like Ab7 can take place of a G7 in a compound dominant cadence)
>>60983701
I think you'd be looking for an envelope filter.
Check out the bass at the beginning of this song and see if it's the effect you're aiming for (starts in around 35 seconds in):

Am I the only one who thinks Les Paul and guitars of that style look ugly?
>>60983899
They look fine, but I feel like they play like shit. They don't sit that well in my lap and the neck is a bit too fat for my taste.
The intonation on my 40 year old Czechoslovakian Cremona classical guitar is ass, but the neck seems pretty straight. The strings are about 4 years old, will changing them solve this issue?

>tfw trying to get low-action bass w/o Zimbabwe-ass fret buzz killing me
Anyone have any tips?
>>60986051
remove the frets
there's no fret buzz if there's no fret
>>60986051
there's really no trick to it, as long as your truss rod is adjusted properly (very slight bow) you need level frets.
the reason higher action is less fret-buzzy is due to the basic principles of the instrument. necks are angled, when you push down on a fret you need clearance on the frets above it so the string will vibrate without getting cut off. if the neck was completely straight the instrument would be a series of dead notes. raising the action makes that clearance larger.
tl;dr to get a low action without excessive fret buzz you need very level frets
>>60986130
You can play chords on a Bass, right? Because Fretless things don't do chords well.
>>60987004
A lot of people hate chords on bass, I never got why, they're fine as long as you don't abuse them.
You can play chords on a fretless instrument though, it's just going to be really hard to be precise, especially on something with the scale of a bass. But you have the advantage of being able to "glide" that chord up and down like you would with a tremolo (although you're not as accurate)

I don't play Bass, so I wouldn't know. I do like how Fretless Guitars sound, but I also like playing chords and I'd rather not have to get used to doing things all over again.
>>60987544
Just buy a cheap guitar and mod it to make it fretless. Takes about 20$ at max and a bit of time.
>>60987912
Did I mention that I'm a huge retard?
>>60987924
You need to be an actual retard to fuckup defretting an instrument, and even if you damage the wood a little bit, you can just sand off the few damage you made.

working on a composition at the moment, some-one wanted to hear it so here's a rough draft
5 mins...
How can I expect the quality of this SX bass (http://www.rondomusic.com/URSA2MN6ASHna.html) to compare to the quality of my Ibanez BTB?
>>60982382
GREEEEETINGS
Have you guys ever been on the cheaperpedals website? The stuff seems pretty cool. I just ordered a board, power supply, tuner, a fuzz, and a POG clone for like $250
>>60989341
I wouldn't count on it to be exceptional, especially when compared to a BTB, but it could make for a decent fretless bass if you swap the pickups
>>60989433
the quality of the BTB is pretty underwhelming teebeeaitch, that's why I'm asking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oo2H-W7d6A
Looks neat as fuck.

>Fav guitars?
I like most guitars and basses, currently falling for more exotic wood kinda guitars and basses.
>Fav guitarists?
Guthrie Govan, and for bass I would say Victor Bailey at the moment.

Playing and recording with a friend at his flat. Mostly post-rock-ish with some jazzy influences.

Did anybody see rondo had an 8 string guitar for $170? Somebody take the risk
How's HIWATT G15 8R for the first amp?

>>60983899
Probably. Seeing and hearing Joe Perry play the fuck out of a black Les Paul is what made me want to play in the first place.
What are the most unique/uncommon/rare volume/tone knobs I can put on my guitar that are also stylish?
>>60989951
I'm going to take the risk on one of their Jag bass copies, just so I can be fully meme.
Anyone know where I can get a Ric copy?
>>60990209
Unfortunately there's no decent ric copies assuming you're talking about bass. The one possible contender I found had the bridge pickup in the wrong place.
>>60990209
I'm getting a jag copy too, can't decide between vintage green and vintage white. Gonna add a third pickup in the middle.
>>60990402
Yeah a 4003 copy, but I'd go for a guitar copy too. There's some sketchy site that sells them for $300. I'd buy one for the body shape alone.
>>60990470
I wanted the purple one, but I want a P/J setup. I'd go for the vintage green, but they're cheap enough you could get both eventually.
>>60990470
Is that the Rondo J-Bass? How do you like it? I think I'm going to buy the six string version
wanting to upgrade your amp but not knowing anything about them isn't very fun.
Don't want to spend hundreds on something that's complete shit.

So I decided I want a Les Paul because it suits the style of music I'm into. Should I get a Gibson or Epiphone? I'd prefer to have a Gibson but their cost is an issue. Any advice?
>>60991592
>>60991551
Oh god I actually knew that song haha. I think I might prefer the Vai guitar version.
I liked that clip. That performance Vai called Frank's best is also my favorite. It's better if you hear the entire thing than when you start at the guitar solo, though.
>>60991618
How long have you been playing?
Gibson is a good investment if you've been playing for a while and are trying to start gigging.
Epiphone if you barely know how to play.
Though I've seen guys gig with Epiphones. Really just depends on you as a player.
>>60991592
>>60991304
>tfw your playing won't be as interesting until at least a decade
I never know what to do with chords.
>>60991636
I prefer the guitar version too, it feels less wacky I'd say.
>>60991667
I don't think I've been playing enough then to get a Gibson. Any particular Epiphone you'd recommend?
>>60991741
If you have the cash for a Gibson then you might as well get one. But if you don't know if you'll stick with the instrument then why shell out the cash?
I'd go for one of their LP copies personally. Depends on what your style of music is.
i miss the old threads, i miss the old regulars.
these threads are complete shit now.
>>60991741
>>60991618
Gibsons are a later level brand, man. How long have you been playing? How much do you have to spend? With Gibson you're paying for the name quite often; you can get better guitars for the same price. However, they still have their qualities, especially if you get an older model.
The more expensive Epiphones are sort of alright but they're not great. Classic Vibe Squiers are better at that price point.
Also, don't buy a guitar just because you feel you should (e.g. it fits your genre, your heroes play them, you think a player like you should play them). Those are all good reasons to try one or a few out, but it's not a reason why you SHOULD own one. Just go to the store and try out a whole lot of guitars and try to find something that speaks to you. If a store doesn't let you try a whole lot of guitars it's a shit store and you should go somewhere else.
>>60991873

>>60991618
If you can afford a Gibson go for it, but a high end Epi is gonna be nicer than a similarly priced Gibson. An Epi LP standard runs like 300 and sounds great with better pickups and wiring. Source: Pic related, though you'll probably get more sustain than I do from mine because of my bastardized Accutune with half the parts replaced with Kahler parts.
Now I have my own question, does anyone know any places I could find fine tuners for this kind of bridge? It's not a true Kahler so I don't think official fine tuners will fit. I got it with a Schaller Floyd nut but I can't practically lock it because I can't manipulate the hex screws that keep the string anchors back enough to keep the strings from falling out.
>>60991741
If you are committed to keep playing and have the money I see no issue on getting the Gibson.
This is not a power level bs where you have to go from guitar to guitar.
I personally think that there are better guitars for the money. I'd follow this advice >>60991895
Go to a store and try guitars, I didn't even care for an Ibanez RG 655 until I played it. Later I got one and I don't regret it.
>>60991618
go to a guitar store
try every fucking guitar in your budget
buy your favorite
the guitar you think you'll like is almost never the guitar you actually like
