To be fair, the rate at which stainless steel frets eat string will pretty quickly outweigh the cost of fret work.
>>61196435
My copy of Jazz Guitar (the one in OP) is the one from the old template, I'll try to update it soon.
>>61196435
I was going to post this pic instead, just to trigger you but it ended up triggering myself kek:
http://a4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/12/ee2354d11ea454f9c45118bd80cc59a5/l.jpg
wow you did it. We're so proud.
Why do some bass string brands have those red threads at the start while the others don't? To prevent it from being unwinded?
>>61196459
that's wrong on so many levels
>>61196498
Pretty sure it's because it looks cool. I have never had mine unwinded, not even the ones that came with the bass, and I've used D'Addario strings after those. Pic is my bass at the store in 2k9 with its stock strings.
does jackson make high-end guitars without a floyd rose?
>>61196534
>what is RR1
wew lad, it's like you aren't interested in kewl guitars
>>61196549
i'd prefer something more like a strat shape with a hockeystick headstock
>>61196566
>hockeystick headstock
>on a jackson
you're out of luck m8, you better get a kramer
>>61196534
Not too familiar with Jackson models but DK1T, HT6, and SL1T immediately come to mind.
>>61196566
You won't get that headstock on a Jackson. They're owned by Fender after all.
>>61196632
>>61196628
they have something extremely similar to a hockeystick
it's just a sharp hockeystick
>>61196665
Won't you spam that lefty BMT?
>>61196698
Nothing you can't sand off!
>>61196698
should have said edgy headstock instead, m8
>>61196698
That's the inline 6 headstock.
>>61196708
I saw that post too, what did it have to do with that left handed tele? He barely posts the thing anyway.
>>61196730
>I saw that post too, what did it have to do with that left handed tele? He barely posts the thing anyway.
he's australian, so I decided to imply he was behind the shitposting just to meme you guise
>>61196743
Most of the Australians in /gg/ are good posters though.
>>61196743
you really showed him how to shitpost.
>>61196724
Did someone say edgy headstock?
>>61196750
kek, his post was even worse and less related to guitars tho
>>61196748
we have no flags here so there's really no way to tell :^)
>>61196748
Everyone in /gg/ is a good poster! Let's just ignore yesterday's shitstorm.
>>61196777
Ebowbro and the lefty BMW guy are both good posters. There's another guy in the same city as Ebowbro as well.
>>61196777
Nice trips, are you God?
>>61196780
>Let's just ignore yesterday's shitstorm.

>>61196780

You know who I meant.
>yesterday's shitstorm
You mean the $200 guitar guy?
>>61196794
A tripfag posted and someone brought up his marriage problems that he posted ages ago. Then everyone in the thread started shitting on him for having a bad marriage. If it happens again please ignore it, the whole thing went nowhere.
>>61196809
>tripfag
namefag*
>>61196800
>>61196813
The guy does use a trip, doesn't he?
>>61196835
If you're talking about SGBro, nah he just names.
>>61196842
he's gonna regret that if gg goes to shit again.
Pic related is $600 loar archtop. Looks like a really good buy.
>>61196809
Maybe he'll read it and realize he needs to stop being such a beta. Like some guy said yesterday, he's probably making even his controlling wife miserable with his attitude. Maybe when he realizes that he'll get his shit together, since it's obvious his own misery isn't going to make him get it together.
>>61196919
please don't start this again, I shouldn't have brought it up. My bad. Thread was so derailed yesterday. btw It's a LH-309 for $650 to be more specific.

stunning wood grain on that, I'm not a huge strat fan myself but damn thats nice to look at.

>inb4 it's as good as a fender
>>61197015
>says it all, really
nice exercise of wishful thinking
btw PRSs are fugly, even when they have gorgeous finishes and woods. Who in their right mind comes with those disgusting shapes?
>>61197040
>>61197040
Not him, but ash can really look nice. Seen the old Gibson Voodoo stuff? Mayones does some nice stuff too.
>>61197054
Just barely.
https://youtu.be/qs2JeHkWmPw
>>61197033
Honestly don't mind the PRS shape myself, I'm not one for pointy guitars.
>>61197058
>this stiffens the penis
>>61197061
I've not even heard of their voodoo stuff, I have a cheap (but pretty decent) les paul copy by a company called vintage, I'm not sure what wood they used for that but from the back it looks beautiful. Would post pictures if I had any.
>>61197087
That picture looks like a quilted top.
Just started playing guys and was wondering if there is any difference to a bolted neck to a solid? Does the bolted neck get loose eventually?
>>61197087
I could never own such a pretty guitar. I don't even like guitars with binding lol. Kinda like it to look rugged. But that goes out the window if someone awesome plays a certain guitar.
beginner here
just finished memorizing all the notes on the fretboard
what do i do with that now?
>>61197073
Differences are negligible. What this implies that the output (amplifier) and player are vastly more important than the guitar itself.
>>61197152
It won't get really get lose over time. It's just screws, nothing special, you might give them a tighten every few months. Some say there's a difference in tone but it's a small one in any case. Bolt on necks are easier to repair/replace and can be built cheaper.
>>61197073
The fender sounds certainly richer. Gotta love the delusional faggots in the comment section.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against cheap guitars, in fact I own a Korean strat copy. But the Fender has that beautiful tone that's so hard to describe. The SX would probably sound the same with the same pickups though.
>>61197170
But boy I hate 2Ts red and black. I hope they never paint them like that again. I repainted my tele from that. I only got the 2ts cuz it was the last p90 tele in stock.
>>61197217
You did a decent job on the paint work.
>>61197199
Yeah. I don't dig ceramic magnets, for starters. It's about time we got a really cheap company to rip off Seymour Duncan. I'm not a huge fan of gfs pickups, though the humbuckers are nice.
>>61197111
yeah I think it is mate, still very pretty looking.
>>61197158
I must admit I'm a fan of binding, but it has to be right for the guitar, cream always looks good on black guitars, makes it look like sexy underwear
>>61197164
buy a 10 string, tune it down to drop A or somethign and smash open string djent music of course.
In all seriousness though, learn scale shapes if you havent already, anon.
>>61197189
For a long term investment would it then be better for a fixed? I can spend up to 800 AUD and I have seen some nice ones
>>61197233
Well it's got no clear coat, so it was pretty hard to mess up. Just aerosol. It's not perfect but you have to look really hard to find the dark spots. I went straight over the old coat, kinda wonder what it would look like if I added a contour now.
>>61197275
bolt on necks are usually cheaper and some will argue sacrifices tone. personally I hate the feeling of a fenders bolt on neck and prefer the feeling of a solid body or through neck, though its down to personal preference entirely.
>>61197275
Holy fuckaroo I have no idea how much money that is. Honestly get a cheapo, it sucks to have the pressure of an expensive instrument to make you feel like you have to practice. also, you don't want to worry about banging it all over, which will probably happen a little. You won't know what you actually want until you've been playing for a while. As far as set vs bolt on goes, one is not necessarily better than the other. I would consider a bolt on a better investment because it's easier to repair.
>>61197152
>>61197275
There's pretty much no difference between a set neck and a bolt on provided they're both done to a good standard. Don't concern yourself too much over it.
Bad bolt ons can have bad access, but at $800 AUD I wouldn't worry too much.
>>61197322
>solid body
Set neck on that.
>>61197323
$800 AUD is just under $600 USD.
>>61197322
I think by sacrifices you meant changes. :^)
But really, archtops "sacrifice" tone by dampening. You get less harmonics. But I love archtops.
>>61197337
Thanks coach
>>61197275
so about £388?
I would look at a second hand PRS SE personally as theyre quite easy to playand great work horse guitars.
>>61197337
Oh, I was just posting pretty pictures, anon.
>>61197340
My verdict is that the wood / shape and everything in between does change the tone but the change from some features is so miniscule its not worth mentioning, of all the guitars I've played the biggest change in tone comes from pickups, amplifier and what you bash the strings with. Though that is just my verdict.
>>61197368
Well, there are certain laws of physics at play that make wood and shape up to certain realistic measures not effect amplified tone. I don't want to pry, but there's a good lecture from a rude person about this if you're interested.
>>61197368
I almost bought this PRS a couple years ago. Didn't go through with it in the end though.
>>61197275
>>61197368
Being Australian he could probably pick up a used MIJ/Prestige Ibanez for $800 if he looked around. Just gotta find one without a floating bridge presumably.
>>61197413
Drop it. You know it'll turn into a horde of shit posting. /gg/ doesn't need any more of that.
>>61197413
I'd be interested, sure, provided he isnt the cock arrogant kind of rude where even if what he says is right, he's a huge cunt about it.
>>61197430
You sure? We don't have to tell anyone. It can be our little secret. Just you, me, and a physics lecture by a guitar builder.
>>61197241
BTW, I found what I was trying to say about the Fender: it sounds "richer", "fuller". It's so fucking beautiful. I think I shed a tear.
>>61197430
that is one very attractive guitar, sir.
>>61197368
>My verdict is that the wood / shape and everything in between does change the tone but the change from some features is so miniscule its not worth mentioning, of all the guitars I've played the biggest change in tone comes from pickups, amplifier and what you bash the strings with.

you're forgetting scale length and hardware. It's what makes fenders twang, specially with teles. It's also why a fat strat doesn't sound like a Les Paul.
>>61197456
Try out a Bareknuckle Holy Diver bridge if you ever get the chance. Mid-hot A5 pickups, really thick mid range. Sounds incredible.
>>61197474
I had borrowed a green Custom 24 for a few months at the time and was really like it. I had requested to change the pickup rings for black ones and possibly change the hardware to chrome or nickel.
>>61197413
>but there's a good lecture from a rude person about this if you're interested.
you mean WillsEasyGuitar? :^)
>>61197504
>Try out a Bareknuckle Holy Diver bridge if you ever get the chance. Mid-hot A5 pickups, really thick mid range. Sounds incredible.
I'd gladly do it but it's practically impossible in my meme country called Uruguay
This video is am hour long. You may want to watch it later rather than just watching part now, because it does take a lot of reasoning to make his argument.
https://youtu.be/svmOQuNC1Uw
Another less level headed video which is much shorter gives a sound sample between two tonewoods: https://youtu.be/lLqIzt2_eIw
Hope you guys like this stuff. He has another video pointing out the multitude of factors that do impact tone.
>>61197507
yeah. Let's let them consider his arguments for a while before we get too jumpy.
>>61197496
ah yes of course, thank you anon!
>>61197504
see, I'd buy the fuck out of this.
>>61197552
he's fucking based desu, except when he claims country of manufacture doesn't matter
>>61197517
Just decide what winding and magnet you want. Wire gauge is also important. Alnico 2 and 3 are the warmest sounding if I recall correctly. Humbuckers are more complicated than single coils, but the good thing about classic pickups is they have simple designs. Very reproducible.
>>61197581
>ah yes of course, thank you anon!
you're welcome lad
>>61197586
I think he's just saying it fundamentally doesn't matter, not that different factories don't do things differently. But maybe I'm thinking of a different video, I haven't seen them all.
I need a guitar slide for some Gun Club country-bluesy stuff. Should I get a steel pipe one?
>>61197619
What do you mean steel pipe one?
>>61197642
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/metal-bars/dunlop-stainless-steel-pro-tonebar
Like this.
>>61197602
I'm talking about this video, check out 42:25
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVmFlzksMCE
>>61197660
Personally I like the sound of my bottleneck better. I was sleepy and I read your post wrong. The metal ones are nice it you get a really small partial one. You can't really make those too well. But I'd recommend making a slide out of a wine bottle neck. You get a very manageable, smooth tone. Not to aggressive. Wait a minute, I'm being stupid. Are you playing acoustic or electric?
>>61197712
Well, I think he's right concerning build quality. I think there are differences in the specs they use though, which is silly but true. Mexico jazz basses even have different size pickups.
>>61197713
I play steel string acoustic. I'm looking at instructions for the bottleneck one. This looks like some serious shit, glass cutters? Can a retard like me make this.
>>61197748
yeah, but I'm pretty sure the hardware for MIM stuff is worse
they seem to operate on looser tolerances too, I see much more MIM bashing than MIA bashing (by their owners)
>>61197756
I just did this. It broke pretty unevenly so I spent like an hour sanding after that. I put sandpaper on the floor and rubbed to slide on that. Just get a bunch of bottles so you can keep trying, and wear protective gloves. Wine bottles are thicker so it doesn't work as well. Be careful.
https://youtu.be/3yHR-8ftMt4
obviously put the string around the neck instead.
>>61197831
I've tried doing that several times with no success. I'll just buy a glass cutter and use the heat/cool method.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bq2WnG9klU
>>61197890
bummer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. It'll be worth it!
guys i want to buy a new amp, just something for recording in my apartment. I'm choosing between an AC15 and a blues jr. i've tried listening to a clips on youtube etc. but i can't decide. So I've got a few questions for you: Which amp has the most consistent, quality wise? Which amp takes pedals best? What are the pro/cons of each amp?
I motstly play postpunky stuff
>>61197927
I'm not the guy you replied to though, just a guy who's tried the method with no success. My uncle has pulled it off in the past though. I think the quality of the string is important.
>>61197928
>Which amp is the most consistent, quality wise?
Line6 Spider
>>61197831
>>61197890
You can just tie vodka soaked string around it for a few hours without burning it and tap it with a hammer/ blunt object, it'll smash cleanly off
>>61197928
Both amps don't have an effects loop so if that matters to you, pass on them. You should definitely try them out since they aren't fully captured by audio recordings. It's way different hearing their sound bounce around in front of you. As for my 2 cents, i just bought an ac15c1 recently because its tone won out for me.
Don't listen to this pleb >>61197969
>>61198011
>Don't listen to this pleb
>implying Line6 quality isn't consistent
dude, those amps are like fucking clones, minimal variation
they sound like shit, but don't pretend they aren't consistent
>>61198030
Tone is really important to me so i can't stand modeling amps. If someone can afford it, definitely go tube or get a jc120 if you really want something solid state
>>61198052
Don't get me wrong, I didn't say Line6 Spiders were good, I said they are consistent. There's a substantial difference. They sound consistently like shit.
>>61198072
Sure but when something goes wrong with a modeling amp, it's much harder to fix them than a regular setup.
>>61198135
wew lad, I never recommended the modeling amp. I just said they are consistent. Cookie cutter amps if you will.
>>61198011
Thanks, I'll try the models out but i probably won't be able to try them when i buy them, since I'm buying them on the internet, which is why I'm asking about the consistency
>>61198178
I didn't ask for the most consistent amp on the market, i asked for the most consistent amp between the two.
>>61198254
even with great consistency it's really hard to do a valid comparison based on internet videos unless you can make sure they have been tested under the exact same conditions
>>61197928
Go play both. Their voicing is very different. Shouldn't be hard to choose between them. Out of those two I'd take the Blues Junior personally, but it's definitely going to come down to preference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaTpqsRdZ-Q
>>61197969
>>61198030
>>61198072
He was asking for a comparison between those two amplifiers and you know it.
>>61198254
It'd be worth driving to a store to try them at the very least. It's not like you have to be buying them to give them a test drive.
I have $70 on Amazon. Thinking about getting a Mustang I amp to fuck around with. Anyone have experience with these? Curious about the 'fuse' software, and how terrible these amps sound recorded.
>>61198298
>It'd be worth driving to a store to try them at the very least.
Oh I will
>>61198309
I wouldn't bother if you have any other amplifier.
>>61198318
You shouldn't have much trouble deciding then. Their voicing and general tone are very different from each other.
>>61198321
I play bass foremost. All covered there at the moment. Just wanted a practice amp to play guitar on. I liked the old GDECs which the Mustangs seem to be taking after.
>>61197928
If you plan on playing with a drummer anytime soon, the ac15 doesn't stay clean at loud volumes unlike the blues jr.
bought a Fender Jaguar HH Special MIJ, serial dates to around 1996, my dream guitar.
>>61198421
I don't but thanks, good to know
what are some good noise rock techniques or ways to practice? I'm guilty of neglecting technical skill for cool high pitched whines and drones. any other noise rockers in here?
running a Fredric effects harmonic percolator > BOSS SD-1 > BF-3 > some cheap digital amp. the percolator is pretty badass so far, would recommend
>>61198503
I hear child rape is good, also smashing her head in with a pipe and fucking her in the ass, blood and shit on the ground
>>61198503
Noise rock? Is that like Locrian?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YILi-rIBk7c
>>61198618
think Shellac, DNA, the Sonic Youth thing. a long time ago I heard Drive Like Jehu for the first time and inevitably got hooked on their impossible guitar sounds, which lead me going deeper into trying to make my amp scream back at me. I would post a recording but I'm not sure how to do so with my iPhone
>>61198658
Oh I understand. I play a lot of ambient and droney stuff if any of my tones or techniques interest you?
https://clyp.it/3h2iqger
>>61198309
They're fun to play around with, but not the greatest sound. Never tried recording with it but I would guess pretty shitty.
>>61198666
cool stuff man, how are you getting the metallic scraping sounds? I do a similar thing by repeatedly hitting my Jazzmaster whammy with my fingers to get a metallic sort of drone.
also I forgot to mention I really like The Goslings. have you tried anything similar to Grandeur of Hair?
>>61198940
>how are you getting the metallic scraping sounds?
At what time? I can try to explain it.
>have you tried anything similar to Grandeur of Hair?
Have a link? My memory is really awful now.
Here is a couple more clips.
https://clyp.it/ioldui0u
https://clyp.it/xvwa33rt
Why the hell is a Epiphone G-400 worth over £100 more than a standard special SG?
The only difference I can see in it is two more control knobs for pickup
>>61199014
>The Epiphone G-400 is truly one of the best guitar values you will find today. Every serious player wants an SG and here's the real thing that sounds as good as it looks.
I don't think I've ever played an SG that I liked.
>>61198964
the second clip you have is closest to the sound id love to put some noise over. here's The Goslings btw, maybe you'll notice similarities with the second:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gVGTEem70cY
how would you go about getting this sort of drone? just got the clyp app btw, I'll send some of my recordings soon
Just bought this. Did i do good /gg/? Any thoughts on this guitar?
>>61199181
You'll be the most kvlt guitarist in your year
>>61198914
Disappointing. Alright, thanks anon. Guess I'll just save the $70
>>61199181
I hate how much LPs are used in metalcore, I can't take them seriously for metal other than stoner/doom.
>>61199014
I think the G-400 has a set neck while the special has a bolt on, which is less ergonomic
>>61198964
here, it's far from my best recording. in fact it's my worst. but I just took a minute to not know what the fuck I was doing and try and get my usual sounds out of my guitar
boss OD > Fredric percolator > cheap Roland digital amp on low volume, clean setting

brvtalkvlt10
>>61199076
This sounds like a maxed out muff to my ears.
The core of the second clip was diffusion. It's a type of multi-delay that smears transients. I use it instead of reverb usually. Combine that with a bow and you're in business. Takes a bit of practice to get right though.
>>61199415
Quality isn't great haha. Definitely needs less gain and more low end. Are you using a Bitcrusher there or is it a function on that fuzz?
I'm about to crash, but if you throw clips up in these threads there's a good chance I'll see it and chime in if I can help out.
>>61199403
>I hate how much LPs are used in metalcore, I can't take them seriously for metal other than stoner/doom.
I've used mine a few times in death metal bands in the past.

Jesper was better.
hey /gg/ can yall post some of your favorite christmas song tabs?
i think thatd be fun to mess around with later on today. ty
>>61199592
not using a bitcrusher, it's just the percolator working some magic.
>>61199592
>>61199616
I know that they work, but they just look weird being played so low.
I am gradually finding out how much of a pain in the ass it is to order an instrument directly from the manufacturer.
Also, most people in the music retail industry are terrible shitty people, as far as I've seen. I'm talking rude to the point of hanging up on your face mid sentence. What the fuck.
So what do I do, /gg/? I can't order directly from Schecter. There are no retailors in my city that will order on my behalf. My only option is to contact their local distributor and hope they do business with particulars. My only other option is to order from ebay or reverb and get royally fucked by custom fees...

I'd probably turn down that extra texture then. Just a little. It's working against you at the moment if I'm honest.
Here's an in-room clip of my guitar using just diffusion. Not even any reverb on this if I remember. Should give you an idea of the basis of my sound.

That's pretty normal. If you could order straight from them it'd negate the point of distributors and retailers.
Can't just order one from another store? I mean if you want an Ibanez in this country you can order it from Galaxy Guitars (Ibanez Guitar Centre) and he'll send it anywhere in the country.

>That's pretty normal. If you could order straight from them it'd negate the point of distributors and retailers.
Actually, if you're in the US, you can order directly from their online store. But I'm Canadian.
>Can't just order one from another store?
There's literally only one that I was even able to talk to. The only other retailer in the city that sells Schecter instruments (a whopping 5 of them) is large chain that just puts me on hold for 30 minutes.
I'm going to wait for the Christmas rush to end and try again.
>I mean if you want an Ibanez in this country you can order it from Galaxy Guitars (Ibanez Guitar Centre) and he'll send it anywhere in the country.
Actually, shit. I'm retarded. Never thought of ordering from somewhere else in the country. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's actually not all that bad. Lots of stuff to be found in your local classifieds.
However, there's nothing like Guitar Center. The various local chains don't step on each other's feet. They all carry Fender and Ibanez but there's usually one or two vendors for the other medium/large brands. Anything boutique is a special order.
My problem is that I'm looking for a specific pickup configuration that only Schecter and Sandberg are selling as far as I've seen. And for some reason there's very little demand for MM/P basses.
>>61199941
I've been living in Australia so I've never had Guitar Center anyway. The major chain here went under. Price gouging finally caught up with them.

Start learning about the most used chords and their shapes-majors, minors, Major 7s, minor 7s, suspended 4s and suspended 2s.
All of that sounds more complicated than it really is. Just practice creating chord shapes, making sure all of the notes sound out clearly when you strum, and switching between them smoothly. Once you can do that, start making barre chords by using your index finger as a movable nut and making the standard chord shapes with your other fingers. That ability opens up A LOT of possibilities for using the guitar musically.

Any anons live in Raleigh/RTP area?
Hey /gg/
I have a tele and I play extreme metal. I'm looking to hire a tech to get me a new nut, but I'm stuck trying to decide what string gauge to get. I don't really shred way up high and need light ass strings for +5th bends or some crazy shit, I mostly just play fast, thrashy stuff in my comfort zone of below the 12th fret.
Anyways, I play in E-standard, and I've been considering going with 12 gauge strings (with a wound 3rd string, of course) to get a thicker tone, and I think I can handle it as my calluses are fucking solid. Any concerns?
Any anon near reston/herndon VA? Will offer free food if you jam with me.

>>61202122
The heavier strings you use will change how the tech will need to set up the guitar. I'd suggest trying out 10s or 11s before using something as big as 12s with a 3rd wound on a tele with it's shorter scale. Those large strings will have loads of tension and really mess up the intonation if not set up properly.

Anyone ever use Joyo pedals? Are they a decent clone of other, more expensive MXR type boxes?
I really like that they're true bypass.
And extremely cheap at 30ish usd each.
I'm not going to be traveling or gigging with them so the reviews I've read saying the housing seems weak isn't much concern to me, just tone at this point.
I've used every shitty digital signal sucking boss and digitech you can imagine and cannot tolerate these.
Anyone have experience with Joyo?
>>61203053
there is this really funny controversy over this american boutique company buying Joyo pedals and rehousing them and selling them for like 150 bucks for big profits. I've heard Joyo is pretty damn good

I would put them on a similar tier as digitech in sound quality, the cases/switches feel a bit chinzy though. Theyre fine, but I dont really find them to be much better than some of the cheap digital multifx units that are coming out nowadays. The tone city line is waaaay better at that ultra low price point.
In no particular order:
Tony MacAlpine (planet x, cab, Tony MacAlpine)
Joe satriani + Steve Vai
Scott Henderson (Tribal Tech)
Sorry if being born in the 80's and starting to listen to good music in the 90's hurts your taste you fucking stupid youngsters. So far you have posted pleb guitarrists.
>>61203024
I'll try to do that ASAP, is there anything I should know about testing the amp and looking at the tubes/chassis so I won't get fucked ? 200€ seems a bit weird for a 50w all tube head.
>>61203053

>>61202122
>to get a thicker tone
Don't play a tele then.
Seriously, the whole "you need heavy strings to get good tone" is incredibly overplayed, especially when it comes to super compressed high gain sounds.
If you really want to stick to E standard on a Fender scale guitar with heavy strings you also really run the risk of losing the crunch from your palm mutes due to the high tension.
For now I'd say go with:

get a model T instead, and form a full stack. That way you'll have a high T amp.
>>61204271
>>61202372
Super snark is nice
just a reminder. intonate your guitar, and if you don't know how to to do that, go get someone else to do it. put a fresh set of strings on it, set the action how you like it, and try to adjust the bridge so the 12th fret is as close as possible actually being an octave. I hear so many bands that can't figure this part out and their music sounds like shit because of it,.
so telecasters sound pretty kvlt for black metal

Is it a good idea to play in all the keys every day or is it better to focus on one key?
>>61204917
If you learn the ins-and-outs of one key all you have to do is move it around the fretboard, the intervals are always the same.
Don't think of them as separate keys just based on the root note. Think of them as different shades of the same color, ya dig.

I think you're looking for a PJ or MM/J. From what I know about the bassist who play genres you listed, it's pretty much anything goes.
You have a ton of options in that price range and what you get will mostly depend on aesthetics and feature sets.
Good brands to look for that sell these pickup configurations in that price range are Lakland, Schecter, Yamaha and of course Fender and Ibanez.
I'd highly suggest you try out anything before you buy it.
