At least include mandos and banjos as well
Is there a trick to learning scales all over the fretboard or is it just a matter of repeating until they stick?
Is this a good deal?
https://reverb.com/item/1428741-squier-vintage-super-modifed-sonic-blue-and-tortoise-fender-mustang-with-hot-rails
What should I negotiate it down to?
what song are you learning at the moment, /gg/? here's mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzxZzIiO84Y
>>61293877
the trick is CONSCIOUSLY repeating them all over the fingerboard until they stick.
tomorrow I'm buying this one. Anybody has experience with it?
>>61294221
meh
>>61294221
Play it before dropping the cash.
I won't buy guitars or amps without playing them.
So from another thread.. I have a question.
I have a bolt on guitar, a RG655, and the neck pocket makes a clicking noise when I dive up/down on the trem, or when I move the guitar around sometimes.
The neck pocket is super tight, there's almost no empty space between the neck and the body. You can't even fit paper inside.
One tech told me it's the trem springs, but I fail to see how that relates to the neck clicking.
My guess is, it's the paint inside the neck screw hole cracking.
Could it be the trem itself? I have no idea..
>>61294689
Describe the noise more.
I just got and ampeg pf500 bass amp and an acoustic 410 bass cabinet. This is my first rig. Do you thing I did good?
>>61294757
You did well, what kind of bass do you have?
>>61294739
It's like, a really really short click noise. It's not those creak you get when you adjust the truss rod.
>>61294757
>ampeg head
>410 cab
Pretty damn nice for your first rig. Add a 115 of your choice if you play 5-string and you'll be set.
>record jazzy chord progressions with DD-7 loop function
>overdub EHX octave multiplexer basslines
>overdub a few extra guitar parts
>have that shit playing in the background while doing other stuff until it gets boring and I record something new
Comfy af, just need to get an actual looper pedal to be able to use the delay creatively too
Also,
>tfw stepdad has Fender Strat made in USA that he's left untouched for months since his brother fucked with it
Trying to think of arguments to convince him to give it to me (or at least borrow it or smth)
>>61294757
>used to have a complete rig
>now I have to play on a practice amp or headphones 90% of the time because I live in a flat
I hate this feel.
>>61294897
>since his brother fucked with it
What did he do with it?
You can always try to buy it off of him.
>write a chord progression
>play through it
>sounds great
>next day
>play the exact same progression
>sounds shit
This happens more often than I'd like to admit
>>61294897
>Trying to think of arguments to convince him to give it to me (or at least borrow it or smth)
"Hey, that US Fender Strat is pretty damn nice! Could I borrow it sometime or do you need it right now?"
Seems pretty simple to me.
>>61294926
Treated it like shit basically, some pretty ugly bumps and scratches in the finish, tremolo system quite a bit fucked up due to too much string tension apparently etc.
>>61294961
Ain't that easy sadly, dude has a complex where he always has to own the "nicer thing", probably due to the whole brother situation
>>61295007
>a complex where he always has to own the "nicer thing"
Ah, shit. Thought you could just talk to the guy and ask.
has anybody installed a killswitch? How did it go?
>>61293904
>sonic blue
Am I retarded or is that olypmic white
>>61294826
My immediate thought is springs or trem claw.
>>61295298
It's easy enough. Just make sure you use a decent quality button otherwise they can stick.
>springs or trem claw
So.. Nothing to worry about?
>>61294932
Welcome to the world of composition and songwriting!
You'll get better at it the more you do - just record yourself/ write things down and listen later.
99% of what you write in the beginning will probably be shit, but stick at it and edit the good ideas from the okay ones and the shit ones, and you'll soon have a collection of usable ideas.
Or you could be like me where 99% of what I write is shit no matter what.
>>61295298
No need for that, Les Paul has built-in killswitch.

Practicing the Godfather theme for now.
>>61293839
Ok guys, don't shred me from the get-go. I'm a newbie.
I had a stroke last year and have been told to try guitar for therapy and I've always wanted to play. My daughter wants to play also and from the last post what is the best to start with or where should I/we start?
I have all ability with movement but the stroke part frazzled my left side lobe.
We will be starting with a couple of Les Paul's, could anyone get us started.
Thanks.
>>61294689
https://youtu.be/CJnAbPrmJNA
>>61296030
not as easy to use as the ones installed, because it's a switch instead of a momentary push-button
>>61296610
What exactly do you need help with? Picking out guitars, amps, or where to start with learning? And sorry to hear about your stroke.
>>61297081
I bought a couple of starter packs with guitar, amps and all. Yes I know it is going to be a basic model but I didn't want to throw 2 grand and not be able to pick it up or her not want to play after the newness wears off.
I guess what I need is the basics to get me started. I don't know if Rocksmith is for us or what. I just need to get the basics I guess, where to go.
>>61297280
Actually rocksmith isn't horrible for your situation. It'll help you guys have fun while play and getting comfortable with the guitar. Coming from someone who first started playing with rocksmith then went to a personal teacher after I felt I was comfortable and ready to start learning theory, it works.
I would recommend it for you. Just make it fun at first then worry about it as a more serious hobby later if it ever becomes that.
>>61297280
Rocksmith can be pretty fun and can make your dexterity and whatnot better, but I would start with learning all the basic chords and practicing scales first. Actually, I think Rocksmith teaches you about most of the essentials, so I'd say go for it! You can always study theory when you're not playing, too.
>>61294932
>all my insperation comes to me in the shower
>forget as soon as I get out
JUST
What are some good finger exercises you guys do? My pinky in particular is still really weak and I often get a lot of buzz when I use it to fret.
>>61297686
Learn under the bridge by rhcp. That helped me with learning to use my pinky for fretting
>>61297570
>>61297612
Right on and thank you. We'll give it a go. Hopefully in a few months (with me, a year or so) I'll be able to update.
>>61297809
No problem, hope it goes well for you guys! I'll keep my eyes peeled for more posts from you in the future.
>>61296326
>96 Mim Pbass
Either there's something up with your lighting, or a desperately need new strings.
>rocksmith for pc is 50 dollars cheaper
>its out everywhere
How fucking hard can it be to manufacture a simple cable?
Guys I'm just beginning to learn theory, but what's the point of like Drop C and A tunings? Like
CGCFAD and AGCFAD instead of DGCFAD?
>>61298187
Naw its just the lighting.
>>61298244
Amazon sells them seperately but they are still kind of expensive.
>>61298358
You can get different chord voicings and slightly more range with drop tunings, but most people use them for easy power chords
Also drop A is AEADGbB, not AGCFAD
>>61298406
>more range with drop tunings
the guitar doesn't gain frets if you tune it lower anon
>>61298358
drop tunings are 99.99% of the times used to have an easier time playing power chords as a D on drop C would be played 2 on the 6th and 2 on the 5th string rather than 0 on the 6th and 2 on the 5th.
>>61298479
You get two more notes if you drop your lowest string a step down.
And frets mean fuckall anyway if you play with a slide or do thimble tapping like Bumblefoot

That's not Drop A. You've just thrown a low A on D Standard. Drop A is B Standard with a low A.
>>61298479
You gain two low notes of range though.
>>61298524
I tend to use them to make bigger chords easier. Although I prefer Standard tunings.

I just had this happen.
The thing is, you'll write all sorts of chord progressions, it's the ones that'll stick around that you will want to use.
I play a cool riff i make up and forget it after few days about it. How do you write down your stuff?
>>61298811
thats for piano silly

laughing chapman stick.jpg
>>61298820
And that's why literally every other musician scoffs at the average guitar fag. Learn sheet music you imbecile, I play fucking bass and I can read it.
>>61298839
I dont need that shit! Writing the letters of the notes is so much easier!
>>61298789
>>61298811
Staff notation is the most comprehensive system and will be taken more seriously by other musicians, especially those with formal training. However, it's a lot of work to learn, and isn't the only way to communicate your ideas.
You've probably seen guitar tabs around. They're pretty straightforward, and with a little practice you'll be able to write them down fast enough to catch whatever pops into your head.
http://www.classtab.org/tabbing.htm
>>61298833
>>61298839
Tabs are better to be quite honest in my opinion family
>>61298839
son, you don't use both clefs in guitar sheet music.
>>61298833
those are basically a piano thats set up worse for clusters
i want to buy an ibanez jet king through reverb, do you guys know how much does the shipping cost?
want to shop from lets say florida to oregon
>>61298811
>>61298860
Yes, i understand tabs but i was wondering how do i learn reading sheet music. Its killing me.
>>61298888
The principles behind it are simple as fuck, if you want to fluently read and play it, practice. That's literally all it takes.
>>61298869
That's because they're not pianos. You also can't bend on a piano, that doesn't make it worse than a stick.
>>61298867
Straight up tabs are shit. Tabs with sheet on top is the best, it gives you a quick insight of where to play, and when to play.
>>61298918
>You also can't bend on a piano
>laughing fluid piano.jpeg
>>61298811
>>61298829
>>61298839
>>61298860
>tfw you learned sheet music as a kid in music class but ended up forgetting it.
>>61298918
Tabs with sheets in top contain the same information (in theory), but it's brainless and shoehorns you into playing it the way someone else intended. With sheet music there simply is a note and you decide where to play it on the neck, it's great especially for beginners because they are forced to learn the notes and where they are on their instrument.
>>61298956
Same here, re-learned it as an adult though. It's really not that hard.
>>61298948
Yeah but it's not a floyd rose. Can't divebomb for sick slayer solos m8.
>>61298984
True, but if you want to play something exactly like it sounds on a record, you're going to want tabs to get the right chord voicing. I still agree with you for single notes.
>>61299012
>divebomb in non-pantera songs
die
>>61299040
>divebombing in general
>>61299044
It has some use.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YqGCs1BR9I
I wonder what divebombed chords sound like.
>>61299012
Oh, come on. It's not like you have 50 different ways to play each chord. And once you find out where on the neck the original is played the rest is usually pretty clear as well, because nobody slides around on the neck unnecessarily, especially when it's a fast or complex song.
Thinking of swapping the Aluminatones from my guitar for some humbuckers.
Any recommendations on humbuckers?
to over wind or not?
pots are 500k and cap is 3300pF so the electronics should be good for humbuckers
>>61298996
>Same here, re-learned it as an adult though. It's really not that hard.
It's really not difficult to learn.
I know some basic theory, but it's actually difficult for me to know what I'm even playing on guitar, since while I can use my tuner to figure out which chords I'm playing, I can't figure out whether or not they're major/minor chords or some other variant since I rarely play in standard tuning.
>>61298839
other instruments don't need to worry about playing the same goddamn note in 5 different locations
sheet music for guitar is a pain in the ass compared to other instruments.
>>61299192
>sheet music for guitar is a pain in the ass compared to other instruments.
its not
>playing the same goddamn note in 5 different locations
thats why you have positions
>>61298652
The most expensive thing on there is like 400 euro's, get a job.
>>61298728
The Line 6 is OK for complete beginners but it generally sucks ass, There's a reason why I switched to the Laney, the orange is a solid little bass amp for a beginner. I live in the Netherlands if that's what you're asking.
>>61299366
I meant if you play at home, with a band in a local...?
>>61299366

>>61297686
My pinky finger got in shape doing the "open, 4th fret, 7th fret" sequence on the G, B, and High E strings from "Am I Evil" (covered) by Metallica.
1:25 and 5:45
https://youtu.be/-u-HCHCuHMg
>>61298789
I record myself playing it slowly on my phone and if I want to relearn it later, I listen to it later and figure it out.
Do I buy one of these?
>>61299606
or one of these?
Grover 406 or 502 for a PRS SE 24?
>>61299737
Well I guess I should ask which is better. Grover original locking or the Roto-grip
>>61299646
I'd rather get a jag desu.
Just as a question, anyone know some good books on learning bass guitar/general working with bassline stuff?
>>61299606
>>61299646
very different guitars, play both and see what you like.
personally I prefer the Casino, I have had 3 half hollows over the years and 1 full hollow slim line, I love the sound, but I am not you
>>61298839
>literally every other musician scoffs at the average guitar fag
So true. I don't know what it is about guitar that makes it such a magnet for noodlers and mediocrity. Maybe 1 in 10 people who play it are even worth a sideways glance
>>61300035
damn straight, that's why I took up the tambourine, now I am a multi-instrumentalist
>>61299415
Only play at home at the moment, I want to play in a band but pretty much the entire scene here is grindcore and D-beat crust punk. Seems fun to play and all but it's not something I'm looking for.
>>61299426
My bass amp is an orange, m80. It is a cheap as fuck SS amp though.
>>61294689
I have the same problem with a Tele I replaced the neck on. It doesn't have a trem. I always thought the issue was the neck pocket, but after hearing you I think it could be that the pilot holes in the neck are too big for the screws. If so it should be an easy fix.
Keep my SR500 or get a used PBass ?
That's kinda my dilemma atm. Play mostly on fingers and aim at getting a sound between noise, indie rock, shoegazish, round with lots of overdrive and texture.
The more I read, the more I feel like I should be playing on a pbass, but spending hundreds for yet another bass is a hassle..
The sr is fine and all, but when I got to play on a jbass I was like "holy fuck this is so comfortable", and I like the plug and play spirit of the pbass rather than bothering with the eq of the ibanez.
wut do ?
>>61300602
If you want to play on textures you've got much more possibilities with an active preamp.
Look into sandbergs if you want something that feels like a fender
>>61299606
>>61299646
If you go for a Casino get a higher end one, not a cheap chinese one but still, very different guitars. The neck on a Casino is a little thicker if it makes a difference.
>>61294757
>>61296326
Nice bass, my sunburst is also a 90s one, same goes for the amp head, it's a 96 too actually. I briefly had the Pf500 as a backup amp but returned it the next day, they shut down at moderate volume levels, definitely not a 500 watt head, the Pf800 was made solely because of the number of people having the same issue
>>61300602
I'd say get a P bass and if you don't like it, sell it back
>>61301014
I'm actually using it as a 300 watt head at 8 ohms running into my one cab so hopefully it's perfect for me.
>>61299646
>>61299606

Frets on my acoustic guitar are wearing hard. Im feeling a lot of buzzing will come in a year, two. What do i do then? How much does refreting it cost and can i do it myself?
>>61301330
epic meme chum
>>61301189
Test how high the volume goes on it, and it will briefly shut down when you hit a note or two above it's unknown limit. The control isn't perfectly balanced (as in, the real middle volume is attained around 7 and max volume at about 9, the volume between 4 to 7 doesn't really increase alot). I had the settings of Gain at 5, all EQ at 7, and all switches off, the volume shut down at around 7 I think. This happened with two units so it wasn't just one defective one, it was reported online by alot of people who used them for a gig or two and it happened to them
>>61301006
Is there much of a difference? I heard the Chinese ones are still pretty good but I don't want another okay guitar.
>>61301233
I like them but I'd still rather get a Jazzmaster.
Both are impossible to find in lefty so I might get this
Are the new Squier classic vibe strats really as good as the 80s Japanese models?
>>61301522
I think there is, I have a Chinese one and I get a little jealous every time I play a Korean or Elitists (kind of expensive). The Korean made ones are just a bit better in quality but nothing amazing. The Casino stock P90s also are a bit dark too IMO but still can make nice clean sounds.
>>61301496
Damn. Hopefully it'll be okay.
>>61301660
would it be worth spending $200 more for a Japanese one?
>>61301631
Finding a made in Korea model is pretty easy though. You just have to call email whoever is selling a used one and ask for the serial number.
You can find them for the same price as chinese ones.
y or n?
What semihollow/hollow should I get for ~$300?
are peavey amps good?
>>61301679
Maybe, MIJ squiers are one of those things that people overrate the fuck out of. I've played many that are nothing special, they're basically entry level MIM tier.
If I were you I'd just get the best used MIM Fender you can buy (assuming you have around $500) A used classic 50s/60s strat for example will be way better than any squier imo.
>>61301669
>>61301496
So I'm looking around and it seems that they've probably fixed the problem since its original release but I bought used to I have no idea what time it was manufactured. Hopefully if anything happens to it when I get it I can return it. Now I'm nervous. I did a lot of research but never found anything about that but I didn't know to look up about the fault light.
>>61301704
Yes, they make nice things.
>>61301422
Depends on the guitar, if it is a good one, yes get it refreted, no you can't do it yourself, find someone local who has references and is a pro.
Get an estamate, then make a decision.
>>61301720
Some of their tube amps are very good, look at the VK's 5150's and 6165's.
>>61293839
my $120 electric just kicked the bucket after 3 months. what should i buy next? pricepoint ~$300-350

>>61302245
Electric what?
>>61302288
fender squier bullet strat
to the other guy i live in the us
>>61302337
For around $500 you could find a decent Mexistrat, do you need something right away?
>>61294221
I bought that at the beginning of the year and it's cool for a practice amp but you'll never play with others with it. I sold it and bought a VOX AC-15 and am 100x happier with it. SPending the extra cash is worth it consider that thing is way too expensive for what it lets you do.
Recommendations for good classical guitar strings?
>>61302433
not immediately. the pickup on the guitar is broken and i'd just as soon get a new one than pay for repara, so i'm just playing without the amp
>>61299646
if you get a Jag be prepared to be annoyed by all the bs that comes with it, can't stay in tune well and you get a lot of buzz from the bridge. but once you put work into it they're great.
what do i need to practice to write\improvise shit like this?

>>61302957
They're around the same quality. Just depends if you want a slim feeling guitar or one that is the thickness of a regular acoustic (gretsch)
>>61302957
Definitely the Gretsch.
>>61302522
Save for a Mexi, you won't regret it. It just might take some time to find one at that price. GC has used all the time and you can always return it if you don't like it. I've not returned one yet. They seem to have a pretty good vetting system. Search and you will find.
>>61302957
Gretch
>>61302455
what you mean with playing with others? Like in a local or when you invite a friend to bring her guitar at home?
>>61303083
> when you invite a friend to bring her guitar at home?
YES you might even get laid.
>>61302474
D'addario Pro Artes hve always been good for me
Never had much luck with Savarez
>>61302474
savarez/d'addario pro arte normal tension brah

You can refret yourself, it's not that big of a deal.
Current Gear:
Gibson SG Special Faded (Love it)
Fender Geddy Lee MIJ Jazz bass (Love it also)
Fender 5E3 Tweed Combo clone
David Eden WT-400 bass head and Bag end cabinet
Boss ME-50 multi-effects unit
Desired Gear:
Fender Nashville telecaster MIJ
Gretsch Duojet
1973 Rickenbacker 4001
Hughes and Kettner Triamp with Orange Cabinet
I have expensive tastes and I hate it
>>61303292
>I hate expensive tastes
You really need to get into modding. You can get fender and gibson tone for less. As far as gretsch duojet goes nobody really makes a guitar with the same looks. But you can get guitars with the same scale length and put in filtertrons.
current gear-
>hundred dollar classical I can't play because I punched a door and mangled my knuckle (durr hurr), I don't know if I'll ever be able to play it again, I like classical more than playing with a pick tee bee aych, it's depressing
>gibson es335
>fender tube amp from the 60s
>overdrive pedal
want-
>tape delay (echoplex, space echo)
that's it, I don't really care about gear like you niggers, r8b8h8m8
>>61303478
Spaaaccceee eeccchhhooo, my man.
>>61301831
The new units suffer from it too. The Pf800 was the problem solution Ampeg came up with. Ampeg went through a dark period of really junky stuff and didn't really come back until recently with a handful of products, the Pf800 being one of them (Heritage 810, V4B, and the new tube Portaflex heads being the other good stuff as of recent)
>>61303478
>i don't really care about gear
>owns a gibson 335 and a fender tube amp from the 60s
fuck off
Should I get the Roland RE-201 or the Boss Re-20?
What's the difference? All I can tell is the Boss sounds a bit thinner and seems a little less versatile.
>>61303478
>ES 335
>Fender 60s Tube Amp
>Drive pedal, and wanting a delay pedal
Add a fuzz and a tuner and that's an extremely awesome rig, good taste
>>61303582
The Boss is about $600 cheaper.
>>61303608
GOOD thinking!
>>61303564
the es335 is from this multimillionaire guy that gave it to muh dad (my dad used to play) because he had like 5 billion guitars
the amp is my dad's
I don't really give a shit, I mean it's nice but I just want to play classical again and have my hand heal, sorry I got lucky poorfag
>>61303588
thanks, and yeah I was looking into getting a fuzzface, are they any good compared to the newer pedals?
>>61303582
the roland uses a magnetic tape to create the echo effect, the boss pedal is digital and meant to replicate the sound of the roland, to my knowledge
>>61302957
I'd go for Gretsch. Their quality control this year has been fantastic and even their cheapest models are amazing guitars
>>61303478
were you listening to linkin park or five finger death punch when you punched the door?
>>61302957
Would either of these be good for getting surfy sounds?
Anyone have any info or experience with the seymour duncan slug?
>>61303794
of course, it's simply epic
>>61303817
Should probably just look for a guitar with single coil pups if you want surf.
>>61303823
my friends brother has it in his guitar. it has way to much output to sound nice i feel. even in a metal setting it has a nasty high end. i really don't like it
>>61303872
the casino has p90s
>>61303890
I'd be using it in a baritone tuned to drop g with oodles of fuzz, I'm not sure the strong highs would be an issue. Plus the Keith Merrow demo made it sound super chunky
dd>>61303911
You want a 27 inch scale baritone for maximum surf, on the other hand if you use a shorter acale with heavy strings you can get something usable.
>>61303986
high output pickups often smooth out fuzzes just fyi. i would probably only get the pickup if you are going for a high gain amp/shreddy tone. i dunno, even drop tuned the highs are sharp and brittle to me. i just dont like it
>>61303716
i'm not a poorfag, just don't say you don't care about gear when you obviously do
>>61304069
I'm using a crunchlab now and the clarity is good but there's not really enough low end. I did install it backwards with the rail toward the bridge though
>>61303557
Well hopefully I'll get lucky. Thanks for the heads up.
>>61301367
lmaoooo I'll use that one if asking to borrow it doesn't work
>>61303817
>>61303872
Personally, I'd go with the Gretsch anyway/in general and roll off your volume knob (but probably keep the tones up) to achieve more surfy sound.
But see if they have one with Dynasonics, since those are single coils. Or with a little extra cash and/or know-how, replace one of the filtertrons with one and have the best of both Gretsch worlds.
>>61300482
Screw holes too big? Hmm strange, I already tightened it very tightly.
>>61304858
It's just a guess. Mine makes the sound moat easily when I press on the neck from the side.
>>61299606
No fret access: The Guitar
What does /gg/ think of this? Looking at replacing my ESP M-II
http://www.rockshop.co.nz/shop/guitars/electric-guitars/fender-modern-player-jazzmaster-hh-mn-black.html
>>61304233
Look into "The Breed". Lots of mids and bass
>Dozens of threads of people posting Jazzmasters, Mustang's, and Jaguars
When the fuck did guitarists start deciding that ugly-as-fuck Fenders bodies with under-powered pick ups are suddenly the cat's ass?
>>61305102
>keeping stock pickups ever
wew lad
>>61305102
Theyre sexy and loved by many, Guitarists who enjoy to play nice tunes.
I suggest you, keep your bitter views on These, guitars to a minimum. Not all People here are sharing Those negative, although You may like GIBSON style Guitars, not all Do,
>>61304935
Well.. I don't know. But if the neck is stable, tight, and doesn't having tuning issues I shouldn't need to worry about this clicking noise shouldn't I.
>>61304938
Since when do epiphone or Gibson guitars have any fret access.
>>61305102
Holy hell, offset guitars get posted way less than super strats, les pauls, and telecasters. Let people like what they want. People like low output pickups, and if you don't, don't use them. The body style of the guitar shouldn't be a point of argument, when you know it's inconsequential. To each his own.
>>61305102
It's almost like art is subjective.
>>61305102
theres one of each of those ITT. not to mention the mustang has a hot rail. anti memeing is basically as bad as memes
Is the fender mustang 1 v2 a good amp for home use?
I mostly play rock
>>61305220
>He purchases instruments so cheap the first thing he has to do is run out and grab third-hand P-90's to solder in
If you don't like the feel and sound of a guitar when you pick it up and play it why the fuck are you spending your money?
>>61305298
>not buying a guitar that feels great because it doesnt have the right pickups.
>>61305102
How do you like my vintage lawsuit guitars?
>>61305229
No, you absolutely don't need to worry about it. It just makes me curious. It only matters if it bothers you.
>>61305351
aspen looks like trash. aria looks fine
>>61305280
I would advise against any solid state amps, but sure the mustang is alright for solid state.
>>61305377
What do you recommend then?
>>61298677
>That's not Drop A. You've just thrown a low A on D Standard. Drop A is B Standard with a low A.
people have different definitions for "drop A", it's not an unambiguous term
>>61305390
Fender Princeton or a 5E3 if you're looking for combos. Hughes and Kettner anything if you want a head/cab setup.
>>61305280
I gotta say I really don't like amps with a ton of effects packaged in. But I don't use effects anyway. I always found it hard to just get a normal clean and normal gainey tone. Moreso normal overdrive tones. I haven't owned one, just used it for a few weeks.
>>61305280
Micro Terror plus the matching cab would probably sound nicer
>>61305406
Ill check them out
Thanks
>>61301704
no, it looks like the retarded sister of a dc

This?
>>61305567
yep
>>61305373
This is fairly accurate from what I can tell. Need to get the Aspen all working and setup
should I buy an epiphone es-339 p90 or an Ibanez Artcore AS-53?
>>61305685
ibanez has better build quality but pretty meh pickups. epi probably will sound slightly better but worse QC so its a pot shot. take your pick
>>61305760
>QC
Sorry, I'm a complete newfag on these threads, what is QC?
>>61305826
quality control
>>61305835
oh okay, thanks for your answer
>>61305685
Can vouch for the AS-53. Never thought I would see that good fretwork in that price range.
Used to use this as a regular player.
>>61306017
then I got this
Reminder that /r9k/ is having a guitar thread right now and it's so much better than every recent /gg/ in every way

>piss is having a shit and its more toilet matter than other toilet matter
ok

If John Mayer can play a shitty Ed Sheeran track with a Jackson then you can do anything with it
>>61306290
>John Mayer
can i buy a guitar with a floyd rose then just take out the floyd rose
>>61306385
>I dislike John Mayer
>>61302758
This is pretty cool. Will listen to when I get home from work.
Learn minor pentatonic / blues scale inside and out and practice blues rock vocabulary. Robin Trower, Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher.
>>61306385
are you new? john mayer is a god. if you play guitar you should really respect his playing. he's also come a long way since he was an egotistical fuckwad too. watch some recent interviews.
>>61306440
Not really. So much of the guitar has to be routed out to fit a Floyd that putting another bridge in would be extremely impractical. Plus it would look like shit.
>>61306515
i really want to buy this guitar https://reverb.com/item/816837-jackson-soloist-slx-electric-guitar-slime-green but all i hear is how much of a pain FRs are
thinking about getting a Line6 pod studio UX1 in the future.
my current gear is a prs se custom and a ibanze tbx30r amp.
i want to be able to record myself and get access to as much different pedal simulations/sounds for cheap as possible.
what is the bare minimum i need to invest in speakers/monitors to get with it for it to sound good?
>>61306540
You can hard tail floyds
>>61306671
what does that do?
>>61306540
If you want a tremolo, FR is fine. You learn how to set it up, then it's fine. If you don't want a tremolo for the love of god don't put up with one.
>>61306693
Basically it doesn't move so you don't have the tension tuning difficulty
>>61306720
so i can tune it without fucking with the springs in the back? i don't mind fucking with everything when i change strings or give it a setup but fucking with it every time i need to tune sounds awful
>>61306711
but i really like everything about the guitar besides the FR
>>61306831
>so i can tune it without fucking with the springs in the back? i don't mind fucking with everything when i change strings or give it a setup but fucking with it every time i need to tune sounds awful
block the floyd
>>61306831
Blocking it mechanically basically turns it into a tune-o-matic ie nothing moves.
You won't be able to do dime meme squeals or anything
>>61307006
that's fine. is it hard to do?
>>61307045
Not really, plenty of videos around
>>61307045
>is it hard to do?
>>61306831
There's hundreds of guitars that give the the exact features of that without a floyd.
>>61307178
but do they have the same color and / or headstock
>>61307245
>muh metal headstock
>>61307262
i don't even play metal it's just cool as fuck
>>61307289
>muh dadrock headstock
>>61307303
i don't play dadrock either keep guessing though
>>61305025
>replacing top quality MIJ ESP for a Chinese Meme Guitar
Don't fall for the memes bro. Jazzmasters are on their way out, they're already a joke in most patrician circles.

>>61307377
wrong
