On cheaper guitars the metals used for the bridge and other components is always soft as fuck, make sure to exert a lot of downwards pressure and use the right sized screwdriver or you'll strip the screw heads. :^)

Ok guys, I've been playing with fingers for like 4-5 years now, and I'm starting to use a very aggressive fingerstyle on thick strings, and my thump is getting blisters in one spot and I cant play because of it. Will I eventually develop MEAN calluses, or what? (The thumb is on my picking hand)
Hey guys, guitar noob here
I've been playing bass for about 12 (maybe 13) minutes now and I can't figure out how to make the notes do different things? PLEASE HELP!
>>61104616
How do I hold it?? and why do all the dots SOUND THE SAME
>>61104497
Yeah, actually you will, but more than that your finger's flesh will become harder, making playing agitate them less. Until you have hard fingers it's pretty easy to lose calluses from a few days without playing an a hot shower. But if you have harder fingers things will be groovy. You don't need to be bummed if your calluses come off a few times. If you play more than usual and think you are going to get a blister, stop and put some dry deodorant on your fingers, should stop the blister.
>>61104497
thanks. i just didn't want to go from playing beautiful acoustic guitars to playing low tier electrics. i had the money and got a really well timed email from GC with a 20% off coupon, so i figured what the hell.
>Will I eventually develop MEAN calluses
you'll eventually get calluses. it might take a few more blisters though.
Hey guys I'm new too, I know instruments very well but this is my first bass/guitar and I'm a bit perplexed here. Where does one start?
so im trying to learn to play guitar like the krautrock masters. do any of you guys have any tips?
>>61104702
Find tabs or youtube tutorials and start plucking away.
>>61104702
Is it a bass or guitar? I'd start a bit differently depending.
I will post this in every /gg/ until you like it. Rickenbacker pickup positions + jazz bass pickup positions = ultimate bass guitar.
>>61104745
Hmm, think I'll weed through the YT tutorials and see what I can find and >>61104748 it's a bass
>>61104839
too bad rickenbackers are too expensive and have a weird scale length just to be different
>>61104839
You should add in a soapbar between the highest two jazz pickups and a few jazz bass pickups.
And also a piezo.
>>61104898
>weird scale length
the reason prs is shit
I've been playing guitar for years but never owned a proper amp (and am currently ampless). Going to try some amps tomorrow.
What are some things I should be on the look out for? Testing tips? I don't mean specific amp recs, I mean stuff like certain EQ settings that can quickly give you an idea of how an amp sounds, things that indicate how long an amp will last, how to deal with buzz, any stuff you think someone should keep in mind while testing in amp; I know a lot about playing but I know very little about amplifiers and have very little experience with them.
>>61104839
>>61104898

>>61105642
25" is the most common after 25.5 and "24.75"
was gonna record some stuff but my mic stand broke so i'm waiting for the super glue to dry rn
>>61105963
too bad the rick bridge pickup would fuck the pickguard shape up
>>61105928

>>61106062
I'm gonna try with the sx ursa 2, looks like the control plate is slightly further back and won't overlap. Sorry for small image.
>>61104839
dave meros?
>>61106180
Yeah. He uses seymour duncan STK-J pickups and they sound amazing. I don't know whether he uses hot or classic, but I like the hot from what I hear. So I'll but hot in the jazz positions, not sure if I should put classic in the rick positions since they should be louder.

:') just wish the SG had humbuckers instead of p90s. they're a little too creamy for my tastes
Loving the Vanguard. Never had a phaser before, but this is sweet.
>>61104497
Yep, this used to happen when I would play my acoustic, and I don't get it anymore. Your fingers get hard, just like your fretting hand.
>>61103808
You play any doom on that dual terror? If so, how is it for that tone? Is it loud enough for jams/gigs? I'm trying to find a good amp that does bedroom levels for when I go off to college and manages band volumes.
Are microtonal fretted necks fedora?
>>61106267
Cuz they have to flip the bass over, that's expensive

>>61106301
>You play any doom on that dual terror?
no sorry
>Is it loud enough for jams/gigs?
it's way more than loud enough
>I'm trying to find a good amp that does bedroom levels for when I go off to college
too loud for that. even at 7 watts it's too loud for a dorm room imo. i recommend a micro dark for dorms / apartment usage. amazing tone and a headphone jack. if you need something to gig with though then definitely go for a dual terror. just get something quieter for your dorm room.
>>61106501
yeah i'm gonna be doing that sometime soon, just have to get the $$$ first.
How do you like the dual terror? That's what I'd really like instead of the dark terror but it's like twice as much kek
>>61106560
i love everything about it
size, volume, tone, all amazing. i use the tiny terror channel for dirty cleans and the fat channel for overdriven cranked toanz
i'm past the honeymoon stage with it too since i've had it for a few months
if you're playing doom and can mic up your shit (you might not even need to since you'll probably be cranked to 8+ for doom) i'd go with the dark terror. you'll probably get more of the tone you're looking for with that. it's a great head. i want one for myself.
>>61105642
I kind of like PRS, wouldn't own one though.
Funny enough they're usually called fence sitters guitars here.
>>61105885
A lot of things are very amp-per-amp unfortunately. It's the kind of stuff you'll learn over time.
eg: to boost the mids on a Mark IV you turn the bass to 0-2.
>>61106301
>bedroom levels
I recommend a Marshall mg15cd or mg15cdr if you can find one. SERIOUS tone from those, built in overdrive which you will want. "Contour" is a dramatic mid band EQ that can give you so many sounds your neighbours will think you have 10 guitars. The MG15CDR has reverb, the MG15CD does not. This amp is super loud for a 8" speaker, and handles bass well. I used mine for my bass for a year before I got a real bass amp and it worked fine.
>>61106624
>usually called fence sitters guitars here
why?
Since my Vox VT80+ is fucked with it's low end buzz should I get it replaced/repaired or get my money back and buy a different amp?
>>61106615
nah dude i dont do doom, i just have a doom set up. my other guitar's a les paul hahaha.
>>61103640
and iiiiiiiii
i am looking for interesting pedals
getting a green rhino and fuzzface after hearing them on some internet show. what a stellar combo
i still need a good wah pedal, too
pls keep in mind am poorfag
So guys, I've got this Epiphone humbucker I want to play around with. Would a new magnet make a difference? If so, what kind get what sounds? I know ceramic is typically hotter and has a harsher tone, but beyond that I'm clueless. I hear alnico this and rare earth that but I'm confused. I've taken the pickup apart and popped the magnet out, and put it back together, so I know how to install them, I think.
>>61106017
>>61103808
Orange bros!
I wish Orange released a slanted vertical 2x12. It just looks too retarded to stand it sideways.
>>61106651
They're seen as not a 25.5" Fender or Superstrat, and not a 24.75" Gibson. It's from a weird conservative attitude. That being said, you can usually get a pretty funny reaction out of PRS guys by calling them fence-sitters guitars.
>>61106615
>not micing up live
Cabinets are very directional. Doesn't matter if you're volume is maxed you'll still want to mic up.
>>61106788
I usually play doom with my 5150/6505.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjiJawksNo
>>61106788
you have a pic of the orange guitar? Those pickups intrigue me
>>61106704
How do you even repair a digital amp? I have an old Yamaha DG80 from 1998 and it fucked up a week or two after I bought it.
>>61106788
That white binding is fucking with me. I've heard nothing but good things about Edwards, but why doesn't the neck binding match the body, at least in color?
>>61106788
all orange setups make me so happy.
Yeah a slanted 2x12 or at least a vertical one would make my day. I don't want a 4x12 either ugh
>>61106301
Pushing big air is where it's at if you want to doom. Even low wattage amps (5-15) are going to get too loud for a dorm if you're pushing them hard through a 10" or more. With big 50-100 watters and 4x12 or more you're going to fill out your lows and have a good volume increase to jump into. The low watters tend to battle for volume with a band where as you can just take command with a bigger rig.
>>61106817
I love that finish, hate that guitar company tho.
>>61106825
idk if it can be, just asking if sticking with it with either a repair or replacement is a better choice than picking a new amp
>>61106817
>24.75" Gibson
kind of a misnomer, gibson is currently almost 24 1/2
>>61105986
>>61106862
>hate that guitar company
Couldn't give a shit about business politics. I'm using Ibanez in some of my other videos.
>>61106932
It's around 24 9/16s if memory recalls. Although it tends to vary per instrument. I forget exactly where mine came up, it was closer to 24.75" than 24 9/16 though.
>>61107005
Is this a new meme?
>>61107030
I hope :^)
>>61106819
In that photo, it had standard (read "meh") pickups for the cheap guitar it is, Ibanez Infinity ones. Maybe from the angle, it looked more interesting.
Currently it has SD Sentient + Pegasus. Also, Fuck Ibanez for its retarded wiring scheme on cheap HH guitars. The switch makes no sense.
>>61107090
Do what I do. Swap the 5-way for a 3-way and change a pot for a push-coil coil split.
>>61107183
Is this the wrong picture?
>>61106830
Well, at least the sides are matched.
>>61105928
lold heartily
>>61107233
That's the stock wiring Ibanez uses for an H-H guitar.
>>61107183
Yeah, I might use a pull-push. I could get 6 combinations that make sense instead of the "Oh shit, did I solder it wrong" with the cort made switch.
Maybe I could put 2 push pulls, using the tone one for even more. Someday.
>>61107233
>>61107307
Yes. And finding it when not knowing how different the switch is, was a PITA.

Thinking about buying another parker guitar when I come up on some money I want to get a nitefly SA. I had a 2003 lfy deluxe before it stolen for me. A perfect playing and crazy tonal range.
>>61107239
I feel like the only person in the world who can't stand binding. Sure, it looks good but it's damaged so much more easily, it makes frets harder to replace, and it makes the top less comfortable (on some guitars).
>>61107351
I don't know Brandon, those shapes never did it for me.
>>61107351
do they still even make parkers?
>>61107351
>>61107351
their pre- wash burn buyout, they were fucking amazing guitars made from ken parkers personal hands. Such a shame they went to shit, and washburn competently smeared shit on their name.
(Parker Fly Deluxe Original Ken Parker, Parker guitar), I know he's making archtops jazz like guitars now, but I've never played and archtop.
>>61107369
The shape is what made me like them, they don't look like your run or the mill guitar.The tonal range *with the peizeo pick ups in the deluxe) was great. I could switch to so many tones to easily and fast. I love it.
>>61107440
plus us a glass fingerboard? who the FUCK does that?
>>61107440
was the piezo just an on or off or could you blend the piezo with the other pickup positions?
Muh 7 string bass.
>>61107459
You could blend them. You could get almost every tone you can think of from the early parker fly deluxe models(they also had a coil tap). I never got the chance to try the acoustics though.
>>61107477
thats a 14 string you fucking dip
>>61107495
Not the acustic option of the deluxe, but their actually acoustic guitars.
>>61107495
I forgot to mention they also(the fly deluxe I had)had a MIDI hookup, and you could play them solid state like a fender, or use the active pick ups.
>>61107529
fucking thing weighs so much holy shit
>>61107380
Yeah, they look like OG parkers with a different headstock.
>>61107654
heh
i thought the brand was dead years ago, I've literally never seen one
I guess they did that to make it easier for them to hang on the wall tbqh
>>61107678
They've been around, just under the ownership of different company's. I think Fender owns them now. I remember bring it in to the local shop to get a stronger spring in it and the tech almost had a heart attack. "YOU'RE 14 AND OWN A PARKER, THIS IS A NICE GUITAR, DON'T FUCK IT UP"

Just discovered a visible dent on my $1200 guitar.
What do
>>61108048
deal with it, if you're playing a guitar all the fucking time, even being careful as fuck, it will get dented eventually
>>61108100
say it's relic'd and forget about it
guitars get beat up
it's the nature of its existence
>>61107865
Could be some uneven frets, I think.

be happy. dents are inevitable and now its 'perfect" status is gone you don't have to worry about it anymore
>>61108026
Well, it is brand new. I haven't tuned it or changed the strings because I wanted to learn some basics first. And desu my fingers sound louder than the bass itself, I'm a bit worried.

Is this a meme or do I really have to return my guitar???
>>61108162
I don't know what you mean, but.. Are you fretting the note properly? As in, are you exerting enough pressure on the fret?
Since its a new guitar, uneven frets are unlikely, even shit guitars can't be that bad.
>>61108204

>>61108220
How could this possibly be a meme? You have a brand new guitar that is damaged. Do you not want to return it? I don't understand what the problem is.
>>61108220
depends on if you, want to, think it's the right thing to do and wont mess up the next one
>>61108220
If your frets are really that bad to the point whereby they don't even work, then yes return it.
Every guitar should have its fret ring out correctly. That's basic guitar setup 101.
>>61108227
Wow!! I just made different notes for the first time!! Some sound fuzzier than others, but I'm playing with long finger nails if that matters any
$600 budget for a used head + cab or combo. my head is spinning there are so many options :(
Egnater Rebel and Peavey Classic 50 seem like the best options. I heard bad things about the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe...
Ok guys pulling down instead of pressing the strings are making them come out a lot clearer. Flicking it harder + pulling it seems to be helping
>>61108306
>Some sound fuzzier than others
Sounds like it might be "fret buzz". You might need bridge or neck adjustments, probably a new instrument that was never setup maybe

>>61108283
I just realized that the frets are the metal pieces and not the strings. Am I supposed to press on these, in between these, or wherever I want to? Does this affect the buzz?
>>61108252
Why didn't you go to court or at least get it in writing?
>>61108371
Nah, I think he's just not exerting enough pressure on the fret, or even fretting on the fret itself.

>>61108701
Yeah this dude and his dad need to take that little shit to small claims court. Idk what guitar it was but most likely this is provable theft of a few hundred dollars.
>>61108728
Not him, but whammy bar is a totally acceptable to term. The engineer in me wants everyone to call it a whammy bar, since the word tremolo is used for so many things.
>>61108728
It's not tremolo, its vibrato.
But fuck who the fuck cares I call it a fucking pain in the ass.
>not calling it the bendy stick
is a maple fretless fingerboard a bad idea? I like the aesthetics
>>61108749
That's why I said "tremolo" vibrato system. It's branded/patented by Fender as a Tremolo so even though it doesn't actually produce that effect it would be incorrect if I didn't include both.

Lol why do you think vibrato arms are a pain in the ass?
>>61108825
>well a harder wood would be better but i know they have thick coatings that you can put on a frettless
I like the way it looks unfinished though
shouldn't be a problem if I use roundwounds, right?
>>61108825
>>61108793
Most maple will be harder than rosewood, and certainly the kind that fretboards are made of. However it is more vulnerable to damage from the air and oil, so maple fingerboards always include clear coat. But they do work well. The clear coat can get a bit scuffed by playing but can't be permanently damaged.
>>61108789
I believe the proper term is "wiggle stick".
So fender released this beauty of a guitar. Check it out...

>>61108866
yea it looks cool but i bet youll get grooves pretty fast. theres a reason fretless basses are almost always ebony or rosewood
>not calling it "The Bridge Shimmy"
>>61108900
>plus top
>opaque finish as an option
Why?
>>61108881
>However it is more vulnerable to damage from the air and oil, so maple fingerboards always include clear coat.
don't they just get a dirty look from your hand oils?
>>61108900
what if someone sends a virus to my guitar?
>>61108903
see
>>61108881
Fender made a bunch of maple fretless back in the day. And once again maple is harder than rosewood.
>>61108964
I think they are likely to crack, not sure about this though. As far as the board getting dirty, I had an unfinished maple neck (not fretboard), and it didn't get dirty since it was lightly oiled like a rosewood fretboard is. Even though unfinished necks are awesome to play, they don't last that long.
>>61108881

Its not

>>61109084
WELL JEEZ. Sorry everyone, I was misinformed. I feel bad, generally I like to actually fucking help. Thanks for the correction.

Then people would be like, "Damn, son, that's one sick guitar!"
>>61109197
jesus
>>61109140
the look is really nice, but the strings just destroy maple. I had an upright that had a maple neck, it was painted black to look like ebony and in a couple months it was destroyed
>>61107339
you seem like a cool guy anon, you wont ever be major successful but your gonna have a good time
>>61109222
maybe you just played it wrong
>>61109222
that sounds like a cheap bass though. maple is alright-ish with a heavy coat on it but natural is a bad idea
>>61109222
IDK strings on paint sounds worse than strings on maple, did it have clear coat?
whoa mama...
So check out the neck finish on this tele. What does /gg/ think?
>>61109307
>>61109309
both look like trash 2bh
>>61109307
tfw rick position pickup
>>61109253
>>61109284
It was. Most uprights are made with ebony as a fingerboard. It goes through a process called ebonizing where it is made to look like ebony. No coating. On electric bass, the strings don't have as much tension and the frets are typically where the string digs in.
>>61109309
that neck is more yellow than Bart Simpson's dick.
>>61109735
b-but it's $900
>>61109307
>ibanez used to make appealing guitars.
>>61109930
yea they made a lot of cool lawsuit guitars and even some cool originals
>>61109309
get the one with the butterscotch blond finish. It matches the neck.
>>61110074
more like baby poop blonde amirite

Hey guys, I've been playing bass for about 4 hours now. Finally playing some tabs on my Ibanez™ AEB5E, but the the tabs are one number higher than my ferrets? Why is this?
>>61110299
For example, "Stand By Me" reads 7-7-6-7-7 but when I count the dots, the correct notes are on the 6 and 5.
>>61110299
u wot m8?
describe it with a picture
>>61110299
what
>>61110348
is your bass tuned a half step down?
>>61110299
it continues
>>61110299
Can you guys PLEASE stop replying to underage? This guy has been derailing this thread for ages. He is either underage, or more likely, trolling, and both are against the rules.
>>61110349
>>61110360
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDhg-sQ6jWg
This guy has 9 dots and I (pic related) only have 7. I can play it by ear, but I want to make sure I'm reading this right.
>>61110365
Not sure, I still haven't tuned it yet. I have a clip-on tuner I want to use but I can't find a place to stick it.
>>61110492
but I want him to get a good start and continue with things :^(
>>61110492
What the hell are you on about? Please don't mistake my curiosity for trolling. Why anybody would choose a guitar thread, on /mu/ of all places to troll is beyond me.
>>61110541
they do it for the (you)s
just mentioning tone wood can get people started
>>61108813
Press harder directly behind the fret to remove any and all buzz
Practice barre F's now, so you get the finger strength to do barre chords.
>>61110499
>I have a clip-on tuner I want to use but I can't find a place to stick it.
just use it without clipping it into your guitar
>>61110595
Oh, ok. Saw something that said no "dead spots" so it had me a bit weary at first. I'm about to fire it up now, brb
>>61110499
how about on the headstock where it's supposed to go
>>61110636
>headstock
Just googled this term, this is definitely a brilliant idea!
>>61110581
I use this Gmaj9 shape to practice Barres tbqh senpai. It sounds stellar too
>>61110581
>tfw playing for almost 10 years and still can't do barre chords very well
it's alright though because I play chug chug metal
>>61110680
Do you place your thumb on that G? I feel dumb asking this because otherwise I wonder how you're playing that.
>>61110365
Ok, so here are my results:
(Big string | +20 semitones/D#)
(2nd string | +12 semitones/G#)
(3rd String | -12 semitones/D)
(Little string | -30 semtones/G)
What's going on here guys?
>>61110680
what website did you use for that
>>61110680
Well I mean
which is a new guitarist more likely to need to play
F, barring with the pointer finger
or gmag9, barring with something other than the pointer finger
>>61110760
It's tuned by a 4th, then a b5th, then a 4th.
I'm not a bassist but the tunning see weird.
>>61110760
biggest and second biggest are a half step down
tune up to an E (biggest) and A (second biggest)
>>61110616
>it had me a bit weary at first
You were feeling kinda drowsy?
>>61110675
Buy a beginners books and every question you have asked so far will be answered within the first few pages.
>>61110844
Ok, i'm using one of these bad boys. So all I have to do is try to make them all land on the green?
>>61110871
*Wary, but weary still works because I haven't been to sleep yet. Almost going on my fifth hour as a bass player.
>>61110925
He could literally just google "beginner bass lesson" and "parts of a bass"
I still can't help answering all of his questions though.
>>61110925
I think I have one already, but I like to play music intuitively. I learn better through trial and error than reading info off of a page.
>>61110929
>Ok, i'm using one of these bad boys. So all I have to do is try to make them all land on the green?
Ideally it should land on the center but if it's not too far off it's probably good enough
>>61110956
My mistake. That model's "green" is actually yellow on mine, with green being the center. But I get what you're saying.
>>61110955
If you record yourself right now you could make the next Trout Mask Replica.
>>61110955
That's honestly retarded. Why waste time figuring something out that's been done millions of times?
And you're not very good at this intuitive thing because you keep asking basic questions in this thread, and reading the answers.
Maybe he's some far away foreigner
>>61110985
I feel it in my body. My ableton is ready.
>>61111000
>figuring something out that's been done millions of times?
What do you mean? Art is a beautifully subjective phenomena, and my only concern is learning the basics and letting intuition handle the rest. Any error in my technique is only going to add personality. This is more about frequency than sound.
>>61110248
Literally the same shit. There should be some name for this kind of shape.
Oh wait its called a superstrat
>>61111097
*tips*
>>61111000
And that "wasting time" is called things going wrong before things go right. And in life, this is where character comes from.
Is there anything nicer than filling a guitar stand?
I just got this Behringer Xenyx 302USB mixer but for some reason i can't get any sound out of it when i activate my Fuzz Factory pedal. I can still get the clean sound running through the pedal when it is not activated however. Anyone know how to fix this?
>>61111126
but it's the only ibanez model I really like
everything else is mediocre
>>61111149
I don't use guitar stands. The rubber fucks with nitro.
>>61111152
Pic related is what im working with.
>>61111152
Dead battery?
>>61111152
Pedal has no power.
>>61111231
>>61111254
i do have the power source plugged in for the pedal and the light on the pedal comes on when i hit the button but the sound immediately stops coming out of the headphones when i activate it.
>>61111395
Is it true bypass?
I've left a couple of my guitars without a high e for several months, how fucked is the necks?
one with 9s, the other 10s
>>61110499
Ok, so even after tuning my bass I'm a bit confused. This guy says "7th fret on the d string" but his has 9 frets, as opposed to my 7. So does this mean 5 on mine? Also, attached is the picture I forgot to upload.
>>61111487
*Dots not frets, excuse my terminology
>>61111503
should be on the 21 fret
>>61111462
Yeah the Fuzz Factory is true bypass.
>>61111564
>>61111626
I think I may have worsened things with my tuning. His "7th fret on the d string" is in between my 5 and 6 dots (to the right of the 9 on your diagram) and I'm not even sure why.
>>61111486
pls
>>61111690
Count the frets, ignore the dots. Now please, don't come back to this website until you're 18. I'm serious. Nothing against you, but rules are rules. Okay? Don't take this the wrong way, but you're accidentally making this thread very hard for the rest of us to use.
>>61111937
I've been on 4chan since early 2008. Please, do the math for me. Tally up my age and tell me how old I am. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
>>61111564
>>61111626
>>61111937
Ohhhh WAIT! You count these things from the TOP to the bottom... it all makes sense now! Thanks again you guys!!
>>61111998
sorry, meant for the other guy
>>61112260
No wait, are you >>61112060 ?
>>61106301
Those pedals cost more than my car.
anyone else not own any pedals besides tuners here? i don't like shit fucking with my TONE
>>61112601
I don't own any pedals besides my Zoom G5, which I don't even use any of the onboard effects except as an audio interface.
