I was looking through this:

Just kidding pal, but I don't like the sound of those bottom flabby strings, it's really un-melodic to me...

Does anyone have experience with very light cloth gloves for playing? Bass in my case. I think it would make sliding easier and help a bit with sweat on the strings and fretboard. Also, less strain on my fingers which would be nice. What kind of cloth would you go for in that case? Or is it a retarded idea in general.

I like my tuning to be in fourths :^). I use BEADG, but I'd rather use F#BEAD than some retarded 8 string "bass". And if I had a 6 string it would be definitely tuned to F#BEADG. Having a high C is faggy as fuck, that's what I have my guitar for.

hey guys, new to guitar. i'm looking for a tube amp with built in reverb / delay that can gig small shows for under around $200. i'd like it if it had perfect warm and bright cleans but also could go into death metal distortion when needed as in i play in blues and metal bands. i also need it to be quiet enough to play in my bedroom in my apartment so my neighbors or roommate don't hear it since my roommate has super good hearing. oh and i can only shop at GC and it needs to have an effects loop. thanks!

It's not loud enough to cut in the mix, but it looks like an awesome recording amp

the consensus is that if you replace the tubes for 12au7s and jj6v6s (slightly more clean headroom) the amp can quite easily compete with a drummer

What's your excuse for not owning a Klon, the finest overdrive ever made?

To quote Nels Cline "“I've written about it before. It's an amp in a box. No more worries in the world of AMP DU JOUR about overdrive tone. It will always be OK. The Centaur will take care of it. Consumers: It's worth the wait to get one. I've had this thing for years now. What did I ever do without it? Let them poor boys hate, We outchea eating good yyeeerme"


I borrowed my friends for a bit today and recorded this on my cell phone.

i would be careful though! i don't want you making those purchases just for a let down.

I can't believe I got a ban for using a pony reaction picture

>>
>>61186869
so sun kil moon? worth checking out what his gear is for albums like Songs For a Blue Guitar (rhp) and April and maybe Down Colorful Hill too. I would say you'd need a nice, washy overdrive pedal and maybe a good reverb as it has no built in pot, and the tube distortion tends to go harsh very quick. However the crunch may be easily fixed with a different set of tubes! Ask around on forums, its a popular amp
>>
>>61185804
I just tried playing with really thick winter gloves. On bass it seems to work for some reason and it DOES make sliding easier. I think silk gloves or really thin cotton gloves would work, has anyone else tried this yet?

>>61186869
>>61186918
I mean, for more chilling, icy slowcore like Down Colourful Hill or I Could Live in Hope, it totally is but maybe not for the more blankety, warm stuff. However, its defining factor is that it takes pedals pretty damn well so you could probably find your sound in there
>>
>>61186887
it's hard to capture the harmonic richness and luxurious touch sensitive dynamics on a cell phone. What other pedals do you think come close?

if a beginner can afford a nice guitar then he can buy whatever the fuck he wants even if it's some fender custom shop tele or something.
there comes a point where when you're a beginner you know if you're going to stick with guitar or not
if you realize that you love it and want to keep playing for the rest of your life there's no fucking problem with investing in nice pieces of gear. especially because guitars / amps hold resale value extremely well. plus, having nice gear makes you want to play and learn more. there's definitely nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, that's me. He's worried it'll break on me. He doesn't think it looks like you can beat it up. Sees it as some precious little electric guitar disguised as an acoustic. He goes "I grew up with Springsteen and Willie Nelson, Crosby Stills and Nash, if you buy a guitar you should be able to jam with your friends in the backyard and not worry about laying it down" or some shit. We have different styles, he'll strum real loud and bang out songs so of course he's going to prefer Taylor or Takamini.

Funny thing though, he sustained a bad head injury like 4 years ago and is borderline retarded.

>>61188702
2 strings per saddle are a pain to intonate and most likely can't be intonated right for a set of strings with a wound G.
I think the fact you have two strings resting on one piece makes one ring when it shouldn't, but I'm not completely sure about that.

>ring when it shouldn't
That's subjective, you could argue it adds richness to the tone. It's not like it makes ring as much as if you plucked the string softly.
>2 strings per saddle are a pain to intonate and most likely can't be intonated right for a set of strings with a wound G.
There are balanced saddles though. And again, the intonation being a bit off could even be desirable.

Take this from a guy who posted pic related the other day

more strings doesn't mean djent. Most of these faggots never play anything beyond 8 strings because their tiny babby hands can't reach the 9th string

I didn't vote for them, I voted right wing every time. But vote is mandatory here so every dipshit votes, specially the gibsmedats. And there's people living abroad who come here every 5 years just to vote the commies. They are a big enough amount to tilt the scale in favor of them since this is a small country.

I never said it did, I'm referring to guitars used by djent players, and how we need relicd ones that look like they're from the 60s, even though no company tried to produce them on a large scale until the last decade.

I never even said in my post what I considered to be a djent guitar, you jumped to an assumption that I was strictly focused on the amount of strings.

I got a surprise xmas check in the mail. I should replace my Joyo Pt-305 with a Boss TU-3, right? I also need a tremolo for one of my band's songs but all the budget-friendly ones are hideous. Getting a legit tuner is the best option here, right?

Not him, but the trick for filling holes in wood to put in a new screw is drill out the hole an insert a wooden dowel that's coated in wood glue.
>>
>>61189774
I've always used the plastic twisting disc strap locks and I've never had a problem.
>>
>>61190012
That's a fix for stripped threads. But if you're stripping threads with a screwdriver then you're kind of a winner.

Alternatively dip a golf tee in glue and break off the excess.
>>
>>61189882
If your tuner works alright then why replace it if you need something else.

it's hard to justify buying a 4k guitar for objective reasons though
From a quality viewpoint, you can get the pinnacle of quality for under 2k. The only justification for buying a guitar over that price is that you really like it or that it's a custom guitar.

I posted a couple of threads back with this beat up garage sale kramer. Making it look more 80s

I've decided
Dupli color sublime green
Nitro cellulose lacquer
New black pickguard with 2 humbucker slots
Dimarzio D Activator X pair in green
Strat style green knobs from all parts
Wilkinson vintage trem from Gotoh in black
Black string tree
Black Grover tuners
Black output jack and plate
Black cliplock strap, possibly with fake leopard print sewn to it and studs

And if I can get a stencil, black kramer logo at the head stock. Thinking about using it it to try out for WASP when they do a reunion tour, or maybe Ratt.

What do you guys think?

/gg/,

I'm debating putting down on an American Special Strat and a Fender Blues Junior III.

Rationale for the choices aside,

My problem isn't the money, it's that I've only been playing guitar 3 years and the only electric I've ever really played is my squier bullet strat.

I'm might as well be in butt fuck Egypt and there aren't any places to go to test this stuff out. Even if there were, I know very little about what to look for in a good guitar anyways.

If a strat was good enough for half of modern music, its probably more than enough for me to teach myself to be decent at guitar, but I'm wondering what random strangers on the internet would say.

I just keep thinking of shit like you hear about in movies and youtube videos. Artists going into a shop and seeing "the one".

Would you trust the quality of just any old Fender MIA for your first real guitar? Would you trust the quality of any old Fender tube amp? Or would you insist on going store to store until you test out "the one"?
