I have a stingray music man and it's noisy and the other day at band practice, it was pulling in radio signals from some french radio station.
What should I do

Just messing around with my 12 string. Playing this one riff I thought of because it sounds pretty with the extra jangle.

what kind of 12 string?
>>61016187
Oh I've been kinda working on it too, can't get those big stretches to sound good and fast.
>>61016202
If you use your two hands on your fretboard, you obviously add in twice as more notes, so you can play like you have 6 strings !

What Carcass song should I learn on bass, /gg/?
so just got this strymon timeline delay. pretty pretty nice as far as digital delay goes, plus its stereo which is rather useful for me.
also picked up the strymon big sky reverb pedal, loads of really ok sounding different reverb algorithms. also stereo.
So I don't have any friends or anyone to jam with. I'm not a great guitar player to begin with, only been playing a year or two. Was thinking about picking up a bass soon. Is bass fun to just play by yourself? Maybe I could start making my own music as a 1 man band?
also just got this eventide timeline dual digital delay stereo unit. looper has a really cool time stretch feature when you use an expression pedal, gets into granular sounds.
at the same time i scored an eventide space stereo reverb pedal. lots of interesting ok sounding reverbs. never been a huge fan of digital reverb really, but there are some neat reverse reverb setting etc in these units. eventide seem to have more control over adjusting parameters than the strymon. both brands sound like what good digital sounds like, i guess.
>>61016309

>>61016355
Hey gearspammer, do you know of any delay pedal with an FX Loop ? The EHX Deluxe memory boy has one but 550ms of delay sounds a bit short
>>61016349
It's fun if you play stuff where you're not just holding the root note. So basically funk, technical metal, mathcore, etc.
Also yeah you can make your own music with just a guitar and a bass, you just need to get a drum machine and an interface. Having a demo of your stuff will also make people more likely to join your band if you ever want to gig.
went ahead and grabbed the strymon multi switch to take full advantage of the hidden looper functions. this is the fullest featured looper i've ever owned, maybe not as full feature as the boomerang looper but that was years ago when i got to play with one and don't really remember all the features it had...was maybe too much money for a looper? dunno.
>>61016349
When you're just starting out no because you'll just be learning basic basslines and such but once you start becoming advanced and getting into more melodic playing that's when it can get more fun
I would also suggest going to a local music store/studio because they most likely know the local bands/musicians and hopefully can find you someone you can play with
>>61016408
yeah i've got several. off the top of my head...this strymon timeline has an f/x loop. moogerfooger has f/x loop. red witch titan triple delay has f/x loop after first delay. ummm...fairfield circuitry meet maude has f/x loop. maybe check on effectsdatabase.com for more cause i'm pretty sure i've got a couple others and there might be one ore two that exist that I don't have. great feature.
>>61016265

Alright cool. I asked earlier in the thread the best bass under 300, and it makes sense it probably wont matter at that price. What is a good choice under 600-500? bass guitar that is

Embryonic Necropsy And Devourment
>>61016408
>The EHX Deluxe memory boy has one but 550ms of delay sounds a bit short
yeah. just depends on how you wanna use the delay, i guess. i really love my old blue face dmm and vintage dmm...that modulation is stellar. never really tried one of the modern ehx that i just HAD to have. oh that reminds me, the jhs panther has an f/x loop and is basically a straight clone of the ehx memory boy i think. i LOVE synching it with other tap tempo pedal to control them, like...that catalinbread tremolo can be slaved to it...or chase bliss pedals can be slaved to it. really cool feature.
>>61016535
any type of p-bass or p-bass clone is good, they're inexpensive, simple and are just great basses
>>61016490
God damn those are way out of my budget for pedals. But yeah it seems to be a huge tool, would love to try it out.
>>61016535
Depends on what you want to play. You'll also need an amp.
But basically, just go into a store and try out a Precision or a Jazz bass (or even a P+J config). I'd say also look out for ibanez SRs, they're pretty much bass guitar for guitarists, and those with on board EQ give a lot of range. They also lose a lot of their value compared to fender basses, so they can be had for cheap used.
Also don't be afraid of trying out some 5 strings if you fancy having a bigger range.
>>61016719
>out of my budget
yeah i just keep a vigilant eye on the b/s/t threads on guitar/pedal forums and sites like reverb.com there are always great deals to be found if you are patient but sure, all of those pedals are still going to be a couple hundred dollars even secondhand. lots of people are into trading pedals too so thats a good way to try out different pedals without spending any/much money.
>>61016309
>>61016328
horyshet.jpg
>>61016349
maybe look into something like the ditto looper, then you can build up loops to play over etc. and a cheap secondhand drum machine like the alesis sr-16?
asio for all
it kind of sucks compared to getting an interface with dedicated asio driver
Must own pedals/effects?
My amp has decent reverb and OK tremolo already.
>>61017318
nothing really. but if you want interesting sounds then you should consider what kinda sounds you want and go from there.

This is my essential pedals for myself, me, and I.

I would care too, since it looks wicked.
I don't think I saw Vai played it though. I think I saw flo or something.

Single coil bridge pickup, treble all the way up, mid and bass way down. Annoying fuzz/distortion like a harmonic percolator clone (or EHX satisfaction if you're on a budget). Use a metal pick.
Obviously not exactly what he does but it should get you in the ballpark of that aggressive trebly sound.
>>61017406
Delay and wah suggestions?
>>61018752
Thanks, it was my first guitar I liked enough to mod, it was hard work. It was a lot less modded than the other ones I had (though I'm starting a business where a lot of those mods I did come stock, so it all worked out in the end), but I have a lot more attachment to this one. It sounds more WRHB/Fat Strat than P92 (as opposed to an equal mix of the two like the site says), despite that they're still a great set of pickups and I'd heavily advise you check out a pair. Coolest thing about it is you can actually talk to Lindy about what you're wanting and he'll give you advice based on that (though he'll also not stop talking, so good luck with that).
>>61019356
Boxidizer/Rusty Box might help too.
>>61019574
The budda bud wah is the shit.
If you can find it and want something crazy, the AD4096 is a pretty awesome delay, as is the EHX 16 second digital delay if you want something more affordable, the OBNE Black Fountain is pretty fun. But honestly, the Carbon Copy is a mainstay on a lot of boards for a reason.
>>61019574
mwfx judder is one of the best delays i've ever played. easily one of my favorite pedals of all time. here is a short clip showing just one of the things it can do.

I always see "worship" guitar players that have strymon stuff on them all the time on Instagram
Been playing for 10 years, but took a large break for two of them (2012-2014)
My favorite of the three always seems to be the most recent one, so that'll be the Gibson Les Paul. I wanted one since I started over a decade ago and it's nice to finally possess one.
Tuck Andress, Martin Barre, Paul Gilbert, Andre Olbrich, EvH, these are the guys that made me want to pick it up and keep going. Made more progress in the last two months than I did in the last four years when it comes to alternate picking and speed accuracy.
Sadly I am seriously lacking in gear. I have maybe $200 worth of amp and pedals right now, but that's okay I'm not in a rush to go out and blow $20k on perfecting my tone like some of my buddies have.
>>61020818
I've got a Hot Rod Deluxe that's been my first tube amp, and I'm graduating soon, so I've been shopping for my next amp. The JC-120 is pretty high on the list, but a lot of vintage fenders pop up around me for $700-900
>>61020881
dunno, seems to work fine in my setup?
>>61020700
You shouldn't really be touching them. They're holding the locking nut on.
>Looks like a decent superstrat
It'd be the absolute best Ibanez could make considering it's a one off custom for Vai.
>>61020917
Whenever I tried to use, it's wasn't for me and having the rc30 is so great for having dedicated looper to store and playback backtracks
>>61020916
Ha I had the hotrot Deville 212
It was okay but no where for me, actually if I had the chance to start all over again, I would of started with jc120 instead of hotrod>twin>jc

pretty sure strymon has never made any kind of public declaration as a christian or whatever company. or any kind of play at capitalizing on religion like say JHS or other overtly religious pedal companies that say they are doing it for the glory of god or whatever. think its just a coincidence that p&w players like strymon pedals.

How do you write bass-lines for folk and punk songs? I wrote some folk and punk songs for the acoustic guitar and I want to write some parts so a bass-playing friend of mine can play with me. He's kinda of a lazy shit, so I'm assuming he won't write anything on his own.

well if you looked he posted this in the ad.
Shipping is as listed for CONUS however, I am happy to ship to most places outside of the States. Please contact me first to discuss the additional costs of shipping Internationally.
>>61021581
hm. Mine's a lot warmer, but I'm going to put in some 500k pots soon to brighten it up a bit. But that's a really cool vintage sound
>>61021598
I might do, just it's more expensive/annoying seeing the reissue was selling for £200-300.
Also the fact I didn't know I even wanted this guitar until a couple hours I'll think about it for a bit.
>>61021687
make him an offer for a price you think is fair, or see if he'll split the additional shipping etc most sellers are cool and willing to work with somebody to make a deal happen unless you're some kinda of low-ball scum about it.
I love the shit out my 70s Alvarez Nylon and while I originally bought it just for classical, it's all i play now. What sucks is that every time I pick up my electric or an acoustic now the fret board feels skinny as fuck.
Anybody else have this problem? And sorry for potato quality pic.
I have the opportunity to grab a used POD HD500 for like 200bucks should I do it? I was already saving for a new 500X ... or are is Line 6 completely shit and I should just save up for an AxeFX? I'm strictly using this for recording btw.

Are you using an ebow for this? Sounds interesting.
so what makes an intermediate guitar player? i'd say i'm pretty decent. i can play a fuckload of chords up and down the frets, although i don't know the names of them or what key they fall into, i can play different scales and arpeggios and what not although i don't know the names of them, i can write some catchy rhythm guitar parts, but i can't solo for shit because i don't practice it. basically i'm self taught and can play different stuff but i don't really know the theory behind it all. it's really starting to bother me. i'm starting to psych myself out telling myself i'm not a "real guitar player." i don't feel like i deserve my guitars and shit anymore.
>>61024688
why don't you learn theory then jeez??
>>61024658
The last clip I did yes. The first two were just picking.
>>61024811
I might get one of those first, since it's the cheapest of all the things I want.

It's trickier to use than people expect, takes some practice. I'm probably going to swap a sustainiac at some stage.

If you can do a great improv solo over a backing track, you are a good musician in my book.

>It's trickier to use than people expect, takes some practice
I spend most of my free time from university/work on playing guitar/bass, so practicing is no problem for me.
Why would anybody ever play guitar when basses exist?
>>61025206
i got into bass before guitar but it was too boring to play by myself
>>61021515
>punk bass line
Root note of chord, 8th notes
>folk bass lines
Root note to 5th, 1/4 notes or 1/2 notes
Seriously, you picked 2 genres that are known for having easy wash rinse repeat bass parts.
As for auditioning people, things to look for are; compatibility(personally and musically), ability to play the parts you write/write parts to what you're playing, and excuses or anything that might become an excuse later down the line.
>>61021474
Since no one else is playing it, here's what I did with my own riff:

It ended up being a whole short song. I'll probably fill that gap towards the end with a bass groove once I get around to recording bass for it

Those doublestops are quite hard for someone like me.
>>61025713
Yeah I saw that one. I love the white/cream look though.
Also like the sound that yung guy gets from it.
>>61025815
The sound is mostly the pedals + amp tho, the pick-ups on old Höfner (and other german guitar brands) guitars are modelled on american stuff anyways.
If you really want a weird vintage guitar from germany, consider a Klira or Framus too

I'm probably not going to bother anyway but I would have probably picked one up if they were still £200 in white.

Fender Precision or clone thereof.
It's the most popular bass in the world for a reason-it may only have one sound, but it's the right sound for literally everything.
Also, whatever your price range may be, there's one in your price range available for sale near you under one brand name or another, guaranteed. They are literally everywhere you want them to be.
>>61025454
Nice! Kind of a loaded question, but may I ask what kind of hardware/software you used?
>>61025454
I would definitely put this in my play list if there were a dl. Something about the mix, tho, sounded... maybe muddy? I don't have the words. Nevertheless, good work.
>>61025206
Because playing by yourself isn't satisfying at all, if all you have is a bass.

Thousand Knives by Ryuichi Sakamoto
It's my first time transcribing something this complex.
can anyone help me out with some guitar micing problems im having?
I feel like im using a setup that should be able to get decent results but whenever I mic my amp it just sounds really weak.
I use an SM57 on an Orange Tiny Terror combo and record direct into into a Boss 8-track. Im not using any post-production on the guitars apart from maybe a little EQ.
I'm wondering it cause im really not pushing the volume on my amp, cause I dont want to bother my neighbours. I think im playing at a decent volume though.
Would really appreciate any help.
>>61026820
Turn it up and keep experimenting with microphone positioning. It isn't as simple as chucking it in front of the speaker.
first time posting here. got this coming in the mail sometime this week. excited to give it a try. I play an old fender strat, through an old tube amp. I'm excited to mess around with it.
>>61026908
oops here it is, a yamaha THR10C, I wanted an entry level modelling amp and I got a really good deal on this.
>>61026922
Heard some good things about that amp.
>>61026820
Where are you pointing the mic, in relation to the speaker?
Directly into the inner bubble often gets you a tinny sound with no low end, pointing it at the edge of the main cone often gets a muddy sound. Sorta need to find a balance between the two to get a good sound. You might wanna angle the way the mics pointing, to be more parallel or perpendicular with the cone, rather then straight on. Or, pull the mic back a foot or two. There's various ways to go about it, and you get different sounds out of where you put the mic in relation to the speaker.
I personally angle the mics head where the bubble meets the cone from above, and have it right up against the amp grille, and then go from there. But it's different with different speakers/amps/guitars etc.
>>61026961
Yeah I've only been playing for a year but I wanted something new to mess around with and this seemed like a good place to start.
>>61019855
Really cool. Does anyone else know of any other pedals that give sounds that give odd, new sound?
Rainbow Machine is something I've been looking at for a bit
I've been playing for a year and have never taken a lesson so I'm not sure how to phrase this properly but I'll give it a shot.
If I want to find out how to play solos that sound like this
https://youtu.be/MI_XU1iKRRc
specifically from 7:50- until the end of the video, what exactly should I be learning? I know I am far away from being able to technically accomplish what these guys are doing, but I am over my head as to find lessons that correspond to the accurate technical term for the notes that they are playing
>>61027046
Of course the effects aren't going to be as good as individual pedals but I think this is the best place to start modeling wise.
What do you guys think about Jim Root's singnature Squier Telecaster?
>>61027212
Seems like it could be good with better pickups. Hate Slipknot, though.
>>61027187
Get the Guthrie Govan books from the OP and work through them
>>61027212
I'm not one who thinks it's bad to put humbuckers in a tele, but the fact that it doesn't have a tone knob is a dealbreaker for me. But if you want a Jim Root tone I'd get the fender one or something else with active pickups, the squier one has passive pickups.
Why are there no guitars with a single coil bridge and humbucker neck? It only seems to be the other way around, or two/three of one.
>>61027187
Scales, modes, rhythms, harmonies and improvisation. Nothing super involved, just basic-level stuff. The biggest thing they're doing is one guy is setting the melody and he rest of them are following it-that's basic band dynamics there.
That and practice more, especially over ostinato rhythmic pieces that give you the opportunity to solo like that. The rest is just rehearsal and playing together with other musicians until you're tight and in rhythm with each other.
>>61027316
It happens in Telecasters. Tele Customs, Graham Coxon Tele are S-H
>>61026022
To have an extra place to hold the guitar, because its impossible to hold a guitar by the neck. Its fucking ugly as fuck and it should be banned.
>>61027337
ok thanks, I wish I had people to play with kek
>>61027316
Fender makes one as a regular production model.
It's called the 72 Telecaster Custom
>>61027342
thinking about doing this to my tele, are those single sized humbuckers worth getting/would I be able to put them in easily?
>>61027316
Ever heard of Fender?
>>61027316
I put a humbucker in the neck position in my Pacifica and later put in the bridge humbucker
>>61027489
Duncan sells rails, stacked singles and I think doubles in single size for Tele Neck.
I've only used stacked singles, and they sound pretty much like Singles normally would, I think it's only worth getting those if you really don't like the hum.
>>61026820
Check >>61026976
Mic sound on a speaker is all about position. Treble beams straight out and stronger at the center. Bass kind of radiates out in all directions. Don't point the mic straight at the dust cap. Shoot at anywhere on the cone. Straight on and right in front of the speaker gives the most present and maybe aggressive sound. Move the mic up the cone to move the bass and treble. Going a little off axis, like a 5-10 degree angle, is an option too. Pull the mic back a few feet or more if you want to to bring in the sound of the room and make the tone less present.
More microphones are always going to sound thicker. This is omitting the phasing issues that more mics bring.
There are some sounds a 57 won't do. Condenser mics sound crazy scooped when compared. If this is the type of sound you're trying to hit, then they need to be considered. I've been really happy with my 57 and samson c01 pair. The 01 is $40 and I've used a $350 AT that didn't play well with the 57.
Thoughts on EQD's The Depths vs EHX's Good Vibes?
>>61027707
Never tried the Depths since local stores don't have EQD pedals yet (major online store in my country is started to add EQD pedals though). However, I can say that the Good Vibes is a solid pedal.

>>61027187
>KEXP
damn straight
Sounds like they're just bouncing between the root chord and a whole step down, both major. I think dorian works pretty well for a psych sound here. Mixolydian is fine too. There are probably some other more far out scale patterns you could switch to for flavor.
>>61027972
KEXP's sound is ridiculous. Love their sessions.
I actually asked a question on /mu/ about this very session couple days ago but didn't get an answer, what's some similar stuff to this?

Problem could be your cable, pedal or instrument. Get a new cable. Shield your electronics cavity and/or pick guard with paint and tape, respectively. Not sure what to do with the pedal.

I think the bands Gum, Pond and kind of Tame Impala come close. Those three bands are essentially one huge band with interchangeable people, quite literally. Tame Impala is probably the least like King Gizzard imo. I'd also recommend Ty Segall and the guys he works with. He just released a new album with a couple guys called Fuzz that's more doomy but he has released stuff in the past that sounds like this.
>>61028170
Yeah I'm heavily into all that stuff already, Ty especially. Not listened to gum yet though.
I'm wanting more of the jazzy (idk if that's even right, I'm a complete jazz pleb and I've never really liked it) stuff by King Gizzard. I want to say it's african inspired too.
>>61028027
psych bands? or live session streams?
>>61028253
like I said above, more jazz inspired psych bands.and again like I said, I could be way off by saying it's jazz
>>61028238
Yeah in answering I knew I'd probably miss what you were trying to find. I feel the same way King Gizzard is p unique sounding, or at least I haven't been exposed to stuff like them. They definitely have a bunch of different sounds in their catalog which is cool imo
>>61028288
I don't listen to KG, but was getting a Doors kind of thing there. Zombies, Strawberry Alarm Clock, and Iron Butterfly are good looks
I'm not really hip to the newer psych wave stuff. Most of my records are abrasively fuzzy.

this is how ive been micing it. Ive got another mic at home, I might try recording with two at once.
>>61028760
hmm, looks right on top of the surround.
I'm normally on the other side of the cone and work my way out, away, or off axis to taste.
There are good sounding videos where guys just drape the mic over the cabinets too, so it's no rules I guess.

I just need to work on playing faster desu senpai. I want to play the solo foreplay/longtime by Boston. I know all the notes and stuff I just can't play the parts as fast as Tommy boy
>>61029257
Playing fast is more a matter of being precise rather than just being fast. There's no point in being fast if your notes are all over the place
>>61029291
I think my biggest problem is being unsure of how to actually play the particular section, like which fingers to use, placement, etc.
Pic related is the part.
>>61029397
You can get by using just the index on the 13th fret, major on the 15th and 3rd finger on the 16th.
I'm guessing the b means bend, so having a slight angle on the wrist will make bends easier as you can just pull with your fingers.
Also always rest your thumb on the back of your neck, unless you want to do heavy vibrato/huge bends, having the thumb over the neck is almost always a disadvantage.
Another thing, unrelated to playing, I'd suggest always using tabs with sheet notation whenever possible, that way you can instantly know how the rythm goes.

I was curious as to if these were still available and what they cost. New a few years ago, a Squier Hello Kitty was $199 (possibly less with haggling). Today, the average price I saw via Google was around $799. Pretty solid ROI.

So friday I posted about MM/P basses and somebody told me that Sandberg is known to sell them
Yesterday I got to try out pic related
It was an extremely well made instrument, definitely worth the hefty price tag. Only issue is, the split coil does not sound like a Precision pickup. At all. It's more of a soapbar type of sound. None of the growling definition I was looking for.
Does anybody else have any leads? I'm currently trying to find a Schecter Diamond P Plus (also MM/P) to try out but I'm open to more suggestions.
>>61029158
I think ill just have to do some experimenting sessions recording and comparing different positions. With my gear, I have to turn the intput levels pre, and post all the way up if im recording through a dynamic mic to get a decent level.

oh yes. fugazi is known by guitarists as "the culmination of music as an art form and an object"
>>61029775
remember that music is an art form. there is no right or wrong
only less effective and more effective for the message you want to get across. If you have more fun playing a cerain style and it speaks to you more than focus on refining that.

I've seen a fretless BTB505 a few weeks ago on the used market for something like 300€, went away within a week. And the used market's usually pretty fucked where I live. You just have to stalk the right websites.
Since it's bass o' clock, anyone has some cheap 5 string pickups to recomment for a fretless bass ?
>>61029984
Nah you can't say that while posting a gibson bass, they just look wrong.
I'd definitely buy an Explorer bass though.
