maybe i'll get a les paul for home use and use my SG for gigs and shit
Holiday spirit day 2. Learned the Merry Christmas carrol. What are some essential songs for holidays?

Does anyone have any experience with Guyatone Basses or Guitars? Just bought an SG-72 online, almost identical to pic. Are these any good? Didnt pay tooo much but i Just fell in love with it

Nice blog.
>>61209631
this is me right now too. I only just got a cheap used teisco and now I want a semi acoustic, 12 string or vox phantom.
Also need to get a new amp since my uncle is taking his one back.
Thinking about getting a cheap Vox Pathfinder instead of buying a £200-300 amp and saving up for a good valve.

Anyone have any thoughts on JJ Tubes?
I'm considering replacing my AC30cc2 stock tubes for them but I can't seem to find enough opinions online though the few I had found say it's a real improvement from stock.
>>61209719
That thing looks awesome man, hope it turns out to be a nice buy.
>>61209859
Please don't shitpost. You're probably the same guy that told anon to kill himself.
>>61209967
I say go for it.
>>61209986
Thanks man- will probably post in here how it goes. Hardly anything about them anywhere on the net.
>>61209967
The only el84s I've had that are real dogs are Russian old stock 6bq5s. Granted they're the cheapest thing you can possibly buy, but they deliver pretty rugged results. JJ is probably the most respectable of the big three makers.
>>61210031
I'll shitpost all I want familia
>You're probably the same guy that told anon to kill himself
nah, but that happens a lot here, you shouldn't take it to heart, welcome to 4chan.
>>61209967
Also, I wouldn't look to tubes (especially power) for tonal improvements. A speaker upgrade would be more relevant, or amplifier mods to taste.
>>61210208
It barely ever happens in these generals though. If you really need to get your shitposting fix I suggest you go to Reddit or a different thread. Nobody wants to deal with your shit here.

>>61210300
So rich can brag
So I'm looking for a new set up for my bass. I'm upgrading from an old Crate. It wasn't very good and couldn't get that loud. Definitely not enough for gigging and I'd like to be gigging soon.
The main problem is Im not in the situation to have big cabs and move them around. Is "you can't gig with a combo" a meme or is it for real?
My band set up has no guitarist but the drummer is pretty damn loud.
So can I get away with a 210 or a 115 or do I need something bigger and if I have to get something bigger is a 212 big enough?
>>61210031
>>61210201
>>61210258
Cool, thanks guys.
I would go straight for the Alnico Blue speakers but I'm just looking for a little (inexpensive) mod to freshen things up.
>>61210437
A 115 will do the job. If you have the wattage then you're going to be able to push under everyone.
>>61210297
Nah mate, I'm good here.

I want am acoustic guitar that I'll be proud to own the rest of my life
I'm a poorfag and intermediate guitar player whose been playing acoustic guitar for around 1 1/2 years. Now I want to get an electric guitar and someone in my area offers an Ibanez GRG170 DX + Yamaha THR5 for 200€, sounds like a decent deal to me.
Should I get both or wait for another used guitar to pop up?
I'm not to keen on the look of the Ibanez, but it seems like a pretty versatile instrument, which is basically what I'm looking for.
>>61210790
Buy a 12 string. They are pretty cool
>>61210300
is there anything remotely as blooz lawyer as a super wood grainy suhr super strat (tamed down model with wilkinson instead of floydrose) with gold hardware?

i just stay away from no name Chinese tubes.
>>61210968
that thing is 1200 less than a SLO
therefore
the SLO is better sounding
>>61210971
EHX russian tubes are fine, though.
I usually try and get JJs or Mullard
most blooze lawyer guitars:
Gibson Les Paul Standard, or variation
Suhr anything
Any booteek $$$$$$ Telecaster like Creston or Danocaster
PRS with tons o' flame BABY
Duesenberg (although I like those)
>>61211022
That was just an example of a wood grain finish.
If you waved enough shekels at them, they'd put a wood finish on anything like this

I'm looking to build my own SG next year. What pickups do you recommend? I've been looking at Bareknuckle pickups, but I want to keep my options open. I don't want it to sound like a shitty dj0nt guitar either.

What are your opinions on Warr guitars?
Any opinions on Carvin guitars? I have a Luther told me there were shit, mainly because of the cheap electronics it has.

>more than 7 strings
I'm 21 years old. Is it too late to get into guitar? My buddy says bass would be better when getting into an instrument so late.
I haven't touched an instrument since I graduated middle school.
>>61211377
Which set are you using?
>>61211520
You know, as someone who plays electric guitar, I'm ashamed to say I have no idea what "electronics", other than the pickups mean in this context.
>>61210971
I don't have any problems with current production tubes (JJ, New Sensor, Shuguang). Call them what you want mesa, ehx, groove tubes, tube doc, etc. They're one of the top three.
I think these are old rusky Reflector tubes. They look burned in, last poorly, and sound the same. But they're about $15 for 6. Could be from WW1, who cares.

>>61211600
for the longest time, i ran just the 81 in the bridge, 81 is fucking sick in the bridge
a few years back i put in the 85 in the neck and honestly it's not that great
i guess it matches the 81's sound but it's just a little bit much for a neck pickup, if i could do it again i would have picked something a little more subtle.
>>61211620
nothing to be ashamed of, brobeans. i mostly meant pickups, as a lot of good guitars ship with shit pickups
but also the potentiometers and pickup switches tend to be flimsy/crackly, the electronics of a (normal) guitar really are only the pickups, pots, switch(es), and the output jack

>>61211890
actually, yea. the guitar i posted in >>61211428 came with them, and i'm switching them out for a duncan set.
your mileage may vary, but i thought they were weak, muddy, and had spongey attack. I fucking hated them- probably not even going to try to sell the set i took out of the LTD, probably going to just throw them in the trash.
pickups obviously don't need to be active to be nice, but i thought the HZ's missed the mark by a long shot

Round two, not enough glue the first time.
>>61212006
are you using bone nut dust along with the glue? using superglue by itself is kind of pointless and the string will eat it away quickly

my guitar's intonation is sharp as hell- between 3-5 cents sharp on every string
i haven't changed the strings since i got it, and i've lowered the action and filed on the nut to intonate and it's still fucking sharp.

i want a guitar with humbuckers (mine has mini) and a guitar with single coils and a guitar with p90s
i also want a fender amp
looks good to me. Time will tell. Now yo fuck up the rest in the name of intonation.
>>61212613
idk what to call it, it's a normal acoustic bridge
>>61212675
Put on heavier strings
>>61212715
that won't make it worse?
alright, i got a spare set sitting around. idk if they're even heavier than what's already on it honestly
>>61212627
Is this what you tried to express?
>It's not that I don't love mine, I just want more cool shit.
Because if that was the idea you were trying to convey, you failed miserably, son. I suggest you take a grammar course.
how do i go from rhythm guitar to lead guitar for metal? the tabs are like a brick wall
>>61212420
no, that totally helps, i'm a metal/punkfag too
for the doomy sludgey stuff you don't necessarily need the clarity of an active pickup, but you do want a high output pickup (at least in your bridge position, your neck is a little less crucial for these styles)
I always thought the seymour duncan invader was a good high output pickup that was still thick in tone, start there
try to check those out first, but also try to play any guitars that have a duncan JB in the bridge, or a dimebucker.
some emg's might work too, but i think the 81 in the bridge would be a little bit harsh/bright for what you're describing. 85 or a 60 might work though
i don't have any experience with dimarzio's, sorry
i believe emg and seymour duncan have pickup demo's on their website, but i bet google would be able to help too, as long as you have a starting point
hope this helps, bromosapien
>>61212627
>>61212754
For further clarification:
>Not because I don't love mine, I just want more cool shit.
means you don't love your guitar but it isn't the reason why you want a new one.
>>61212773
Try something more basic like blues and classic rock. Then bluesy metal like Judas Priest and finally shredding.
Post battle scars
>>61212773
Lol. Might be better to try to learn a real simple song by ear first. I good ear makes learning lead parts so much faster. Bass really helps with this, but if you only play guitar just try to find something with not a lot of chords. Pale Blue Eyes is a pretty easy one.

To me, "thick without mud" describes either a hot single coil, or the middle position on a two single coil guitar, or a low output humbucker. But probably the most "thick but not muddy" tone I can think of is a humbucker in parallel. But the question is vague enough only the asker can know the answer.

>>61212979
yea but look at the styles of music he listed
i'm not familiar with shoegaze but all of those genres are pretty much going to necessitate humbuckers when you're running that much distortion, in my opinion
ever run a p-90 hot enough play metal? feedback city, and not in a good way

I think so.. God I feel like killing myself right now. I need the suicide hotline.
>>61213086
whoa, that tuning totally changes my answer
check out some of the pickups that are made to properly handle downtuning, i think the nazgul and black winter by seymour duncan are examples
emg's should still work, the 81's shrillness would probably be balanced out by your tuning
>>61213130

JJ are my pick out of the modern tube manufacturers. I tend to use JJ power amp tubes and various NOS preamps.
You probably won't notice a huge difference unless your current tubes are fairly old though.
>>61211022
Hard to justify anything when you're that close to an SLO. SLO100s are incredible. Unfortunately they get price gouged in this country since only one distributor can get them. Last time I spoke to them an SLO100 with a depth mod was $13,000.
>>61211184
I've played a few shows with my Les Paul Custom, but I tend to use MIJ Ibanez stuff instead. A bit easier to play and not nearly as much money if it gets stolen.
>>61211377
Nice gothic. I have an explorer from the original run. Pre-EMG so it has the 500T/496R set. I have an 85/85 set in there at the moment, but I'm going to swap it to Lundgren M6 I think.
>>61211761
Probably an Eventide Space. I own pretty much everything I want effects wise already, but the Space seems cool.
>>61211817
Try an 85 in the bridge. I used to be a big fan of 85/85 before I got into BKP stuff however long ago.
>>61211888
Should try an ISP Decimator if you get the chance. Great pedal.
>>61212316
Funfact. When I bought my AxeFX II XL from the distributor here they wanted me to pay for shipping. After spending 3k+ they weren't willing to pay for shipping. Left a sour taste in my mouth.
>>61212420
Check out BareKnuckle Holy Divers. Warpigs could work too, but you'd be sacrificing on the lighter side of your playing for more output and grindier mids.
>>61212827
>doom
>need high output
Anything mid output up should work fine really. The only pickup I've ever used that made me want more output was a ceramic magnet PAF Pro.

I need some recs for 4x12 cabs. I'd like to get a pair of orange PPC412s but there's only one on craiglist around here for way too much used. I've had my eye on a reissue Sunn 412 but it's going to be a pain to ship. Is anybody selling a 412?
how long do we have to wait before disco comes back?
>>61212905
Not mine actually. But god do I love beaten up strats. Something about a Strat, that is dinged and damaged just looks really nice.
But I will never be able to play a Strat. Too thick neck, no 24 frets, no jumbo frets. If they ever make one American Strat with a 24 fret, and thin modern neck, that would be fucking awesome.
No an RG is not an answer.
>>61213260
Could any of the Vintage Hot pickups from Bareknuckle work too?
>>61213130
Stop being a fucking baby. You slightly scratched your guitar in the most inconspicuous place possible. Get over it.

>>61213347
>It's a 1.2k guitar though..
So in other words it's a midrange instrument.
Congratulations, you made a tiny mark on a midrange instrument.
Fact: Nobody fucking cares. In fact mentally ill people will pay thousands of dollars extra to get a guitar with dents and scratches. All you've done is gotten the first mark out of the way. The next ones will be easier.

Stick with the 1960AV/1960BV cabinets. Depending on where you live Mesa Stiletto and Recto 4x12s could be cheaper than Orange PPC412s as well.
I always preferred the sound of the Mesa cabinets to Orange.
>>61213305
Yeah the VHII or Blackdog are both great pickups too. People love Emeralds as well, but I was iffy on the one I had.
For what you were saying though I'd be looking at the Contemporary options more. They all have pretty good clean tones (besides the Miracle Man), but I probably wouldn't use a ceramic pickup.
>>61213316
Yeah it's a really stupid inlay, they're great guitars though. I mainly use it for recording so it doesn't really bother me. Got some BKPs in there with a push pull coil split.
That year or K-7 is very similar to a UV7BK but usually cheaper. Mahogany body and a slightly thicker neck profile which agrees with me more coming from Gibsons.

Are you trying to provoke me... Because honestly it helps a lot.. I should just man up shouldn't I..
>>61213428
I guess that's true if you aren't the kind of guy who wants to keep his guitars in pristine condition.
>>61213429
Alright, thanks man.
>>61213049
Yeah I'm not a fan of pointy guitars so I rounded it off, the neck is going onto a little side project me and a friend are doing.
We're trying to inprove the whole concept of skateboard guitars by using more than one flimsy board.
>>61213103
the kelly body is being rounded off a little more, need new sanding pads to finish her off, buying a new neck but with an ebony fret board. (I'm going all out on this thing, planning on 59 duncans maybe a JB too)

You're welcome. If you want any further information on any of them feel free to ask. I'm floating around these threads pretty often at the moment.

Try a BKP Holy Diver. It's pretty much a JB that's better at everything.

You don't beefheart, bro? The captain didn't even know how to play a guitar when he started writing for one.

>>61212884
not really a battle scar, more like the equivalent to an amputated limb
its been like this for a while and i never got around to getting it fixed. strap end was too flexed out and the guitar dropped to the ground, i caught it just enough so that the jack didn't go fully through the wood.
>>61213559
dat pop
>>61213537
I don't think I've ever listened to Korn. Like I said in my last post, the first couple years of K-7 are basically UV7BKs but better and cheaper. I've got it for tracking so I don't really care about the inlay.
>>61213559
Yeah if you're going all out that pickup will blow a JB out the water. I plan to get a set for my Les Paul when I can. Out of all the BKPs I've tried I always end up back at a Holy Diver.
The neck Holy Diver is nice too, but I've been meaning to try a Cold Sweat, or ask Tim for an over wound Holy Diver instead.

yea man, don't think i don't see you posting that thing. explorers are sick
mine originally came with the 500T and 496R but i was not a big fan, so 81/85 it is.
how do you like the 85 in the bridge?
also, >>61213286
i'd probably just keep the marshalls, man
they're pretty kickass cabinets
>>61213505
projectbro, you and i are both rounding off guitars because they were too fucking pointy
i'm thinking a black winter in the bridge and a p-90 neck for mine
but seriously, who hires the 13 year old that draws up this shit? the kelly i can deal with, but what in the fuck was pic related

>>61212884
This happened when my AK's barrel fell on it, it's a pretty beat up guitar in general but cheap Epiphone EJ-160e so it's whatever.
>>61213762
>and then he said "fuck you, trust fund baby"
ayyyy the poorfag is mad
>>61213662
Made by the same team with the extra level of QC, but the K-7 had a 5-piece neck with an AANJ joint where as the UV7BK had a 1 piece and the square heel.
K-7 was also made out mahogany so it doesn't have the denting issue that plagues basswood Ibanez from that era. Mine is thirteen years old now and I don't exactly baby it. Looks great still.
Hardware besides that is pretty much identical but the K-7 is H-H and the UV7BK was H-S-H.
Only real issue with the K-7, besides the inlay anyway, is that the stock pickups up ceramic PAF Pros, which kind of suck, I don't like the Blaze pickups in the UV7 though either. I swapped them out for a Painkiller bridge and Holy Diver neck.
I did a couple videos with it last month if you want to hear how it sounds?
>>61213676
Yeah the explorer was the first guitar I really bonded with. I had an RG1527 with BKP Miracle Men before it, but I never really gelled with it.
>how do you like the 85 in the bridge?
Keeping in mind I don't really like EMGs, I do quite like the 85/85 approach. I've always liked A5 pickups more though, so your mileage may vary really.
It's not as bright or brittle as the 81. Fattens up the mid range and low end as well. It doesn't track quite as fast, but that never bothered me.
>>61213676
yeah man the kelly was my first guitar so... time to do it justice for getting me into this wonderful world, rough colour scheme im aiming for based on this bad boy
>>61213629
will do
>>61213725
Because I don't strictly play jazz and from what I've read the people over there seem like snooty jazz snobs (jazz equivalents of blooze lawyers)
I've seen threads there shitting on cool players like Mary Halvorson, meh it's like thegearpage some good info but a ton of shitty people.
>>61213429
>>61213676
Well the top cab is one of the low end MG cabs, only handles about 100 watts and the speakers aren't great, so I'm looking for a good replacement for that. I've only had the opportunity to play a mesa cab once and I wasn't really a fan, maybe it was bad speakers but the mids sounded pretty gross.
>>61213824
>mahogany
>basswood
>muh tonewoods
kek, eat a fat one faggot. Vai guitar best guitar.
>>61213849
Which Mesa cabinet was it? The 4x12s have the same speakers as the PPC412. Tend to have a touch less high end and a thicker low end.
I'd probably look into a 1960AV for replace the MG.
>>61213860
Did I mention tonewoods at any point in my post? I specifically mentioned the issue with Ibanez guitars made out of basswood denting. This doesn't happen to their mahogany models.
>>61213744
>u dun goofed m8
yes i did. that is one of the reasons i'm not a big fan of hollow body guitars, they're pretty flimsy and i'm just a klutz autist
>>61213835
do you have experience finishing guitars? i have no idea what i'm doing
>>61213849>>61213894
I also like the 1960A
>>61213994
>I also like the 1960A
I always found them a bit harsh to my ears. The only amplifier I've played that sounded great with G12T-75s was my 8100.

Another scar/funny story from my Epiphone.
I used to bike to my friend's house for music stuff and I had a hard case I could fit on the handle of my bike. Well one day I hit a rock and fell off my bike, the brake handle pierced the case and left a little dent on the front.

they get off by judging others for being more successful than them
anyone got any tips for filing the last 3 slots? I can't find anything narrow enough to use as a file, I might have to actually buy a set of files.
>>61214113
Haha. With the rest of my gear I could be you from the future. I need to get myself a 1960BV at some point though for sure.
>>61214127

My Explorer has definitely seen it's fair share of shit. Matte paint doesn't hold up too well.
>>61214080
>quickest way to learn drop d

>>61214175
just get a file set, they aren't that much
i know some guys use jeweler files and razor saws though, but it's just better to get actual guitar files
>>61214040
Hard to trust the opinions who care more about buying than playing .

>>61214282
well there's nothing else you can use to get it right, if you make the slot too big by using a rat tail file or something the string is going to make sitar-like buzzing above the nut because it's not sitting in the slot right
i went through the same thing when my nut slots started getting too wide, so i just waited for the files from stew mac. do it right the first time

BTW the guitar is from google, I would never buy a 59 Les Paul unless they became dirt cheap. I don't get why people hype them so much.
>>61214368
I know a guy with an actual '59. He keeps it in a safe and it's worth more than his house now.
>>61214413
I assume the guy considers it an asset instead of an instrument then.
>>61214159
Good goy.
>>61214345
Thanks bb. As long as I'm ordering from them, I'm gonna get a no-load tone pot. Man my tele is gonna scream. What cap should I get to go with it? Might as well get a pretty dark one, right?
>>61214444
>>61214368
you got me bruh
>>61213994
I have a little, yeah. Why do you ask?
>>61214444
Pretty much. It's worth enough that you don't really want to play it any mark would affect it's value.
Not something I'd ever buy, but yeah.

>>61214509
cause i have never done this before, totally don't want to fuck it up
i'm thinking of doing a clear satin finish, so once i finish sanding it down, my basic plan is to seal the wood and then spray some of pic related on, wetsanding at 220 grit and then again at 320
is this a good idea? am i way off?
Guys help me choose a diy kit for myself for Xmas
>~$300 jaguar clone kit with all the options
>~$300 1/2 w diy tube amp. All parts included except the $85 predrilled enclosure. Fuck that.
And fyi diy is a lot easier than you think it is. Even the psnsiest of you little girl faggots could make an efx, a guitar, or even an amp. 100% dead serious.
>>61214704
If you have all the parts for the jaguar and not the amp, do the jaguar.
>>61214671
not too sure for a satin finish but nitro cellulose is beautiful stuff, have it on the gibson and it smells like a marshmallowy dream, if you get it to work let me know, but i would maybe go with a higher grit wet and dry instead of 320 sandpaper, get a finer finish on it. you going to buffer it afterwards then to make it shine, or?
>>61214671
Sounds solid to me. Gloss is a little more protective a sheen but I can see why you'd do satin. Also those grits sound kinda coarse. Bit then again I'm just s baked hardware store manager
>>61213894

any blooz players here?
bought a glass slide for the first time today.
god I fucking love it. makes my dick so hard.
>>61214736
Jag kit is all included. I received a gift HH jazzmaster in like July tho. Super tough choice btwn jaguar and that. Awesome guitar, but you could crank the 1/2 w amp and not wake somebody in the next room
>>61214749
>>61214752
was looking for a flat, clear finish, not a gloss
kinda like pic related i suppose
but again, i've never done this before, should I avoid this type of finish? i like the way satin necks feel
>>61214806
Cool. I like to play spaced out ambient space blues. And just super high gain distortion cranked miss blues.
On a scale from 1 to John mayor how autist savant are you ?
>>61214849
What do you mean when you say "flat"
>>61214806
Yeah bro. Right of passage for slide is son house's death letter blues. Try it out. The hardest part is the first slide in the riff, try to mute the other strings as much as you can when ur learning. Blues it up afterwards. God slide is awesome, I'm getting itchy just thinking about it. I needa buy a resonator bad.
>>61214849
Satin is more difficult to be honest. You can always leave the neck unfinished like a music man. They have some videos about maintaining an unfinished neck. The ultimate in playability.
>>61214928

Grindcore has a ton of musical freedom but a guitar like that won't really get any laughs. You'll come across as trying to hard to be ironic. It's lacking nuance I guess.
I have a grindcore project in the works at the moment, but I'm doing more vocals than guitar work. Taking a lot of inspiration from Gridlink.

>>61214902
defiantly will look up the tabs for that. thanks bro
I like those resonator guitars as well, but, the neck on most of them are way too fat for me. jamming out chords is almost impossible.
I guess that's why most slide players play open tuning.
>>61215038
a picture of a pizza would've been more appropriate.
>>61215072
>You'll come across as trying to hard to be ironic
that makes it even more ironic in my book. I could also use a hello kitty guitar maybe, although those ponies seem even gayer. Maybe a carebear would do the trick.

>>61215005
Srv's version of little wing was so much better. I think the dude played with three different amps in order to get that tone.
