>>61514145
Still waiting on my rarewood 5er from Sandberg, but now that I think about it I'd really like pic related as a really nice 4-string....
>>61514223
>rarewood
Faggotry level: 7/10
>>61514323
It's walnut, we have many walnut trees where I live so it feels kinda fitting. It's not some crazy combination of woods or a stupid shape, it's just a really nice top with a satin finish.
>>61514393
>rarewoods
>that ugly armrest
Kek, why do most bassists have fedora tier taste? As a bassist it disgusts me deeply.
>>61514483
pls post bass
>>61514483
Why do you care so much about someone else's bass aesthetics anyway ? Are you frustrated because you don't spend as much on an instrument ?
Also the armrest is just a contour, absolutely standard on every instrument.
Are those G&L legacy guitars any good?
>>61514483
>caring about the armrest
>a part that will literally be covered by your arm whenever you play it
Rarewood is just preference, I think it looks nice if it's not overdone. I didn't go for golden mechanics for that reason, it would look gaudy at that point IMO. But whatever, play what you like and so will I.
What's /gg/'s recommended metronome?
>>61514635
computer
>>61514496
I don't have pics here but it's like pic related with a darker and less reddish fretboard, 3 knobs and passive soapbar humbuckers. It's made by local luthiers so it isn't a RockBass.
>>61514526
Ugliness and what I consider bad taste bother me. The contour isn't what I dislike, my problem is the wood transition.
>>61514671
Forgot pic
>>61514671
>soapbar humbuckers
uh...you mean mini humbuckers?
>>61514635
Just get one on your phone senpai
>>61514536
Yeah but they look off to me. Somehow a little chunkier and glossier than Fenders even though I've heard they're actually better instruments. at that price point I'd rather have a Fender.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j88cANFaQag
>>61514145
i've been transcribing nothing else matters today and yesterday and i dreamt about it last night
>>61514695
Nope, I mean these.
>>61514699
But how will anyone take me seriously as a musician if I don't have a dedicated metronome?
>>61514730
so mini humbuckers. got it
>>61514736
my mom bought me a metronome/tuner for $10 for christmas and i thought it would be useless but it's actually better for tuning than my tuner app. you plug it directly into the guitar. 100% reliable, doesn't matter if your phone is too far away or there's other noises in the room
>>61514709
Also the headstock is pig disgusting IMHO. Not as bad as the musicman of tho.
>>61514752
Name/brand/etc?
>>61514635
I have pic related. Actually kind of stole it from my saxophone teacher in high school, oops.
>>61514774
mine is boss TU-80
>>61514751
those aren't mini humbuckers
>>61514902
they are though
>>61514936
>>61514751
I just know them as soapbars, since they're humbuckers they would be soapbar humbuckers.
>>61514950
>soapbar humbuckers
so mini humbuckers
Do you guys wear any hearing protection during your gigs? I just started using these but they tend fall out when I'm getting into it. Thinking about going the custom route.
>>61514993
always but i just use ear plugs and use the floor monitors
>>61514976
Soapbar describes the package, humbucker the actual pickup type. It's an accurate description of what they are.
>>61514993
I stick two Dildos inside of me when I'm on stage
>>61514936
no they are transducer humbuckers
minihumbuckers refers to humbuckers that are the same size but have a more limited eq range than normal humbuckers. mini humbuckers sound more like a pissed off single coil than a humbucker.
these are totally different, soap bar humbuckers made for basses.
>>61515034
but those are mini humbuckers
>>61515066
sorry, they are not
please do some research before you spout your ignorance
>>61515080
naw see
>>61515066
>>61515080
Ignore him, let's just continue with the thread.
Sometimes I think you guys do this on purpose
>>61515272
They do.
>>61514223
Looks lovely, but isn't the aged finish just a huge waste of money? Last time I checked they wanted a few hundred bucks just for the soft aged finish.

rondomusic
>>61515367
>>61515349
Kinda, yes. I'm not sure if I'd go for it if I actually bought one but it looks pretty neat.
I just ordered a bag of these picks. Did I fuck up?
>>61515451
They're picks, even if they're shit it's not like you lost any significant amount of money.
this might be a horribly-often recurring topic when it comes to classical (nylon) guitars but:
Should I get a normal one and a separate mic if I want to record or get one with a pickup in it already?
My two choices for either option are:
Mic+guitar = Yamaha C40 and a Shure SM57 for a mic (both I've read are quite good)
OR
Guitar with picukup = Yamaha CGX 102. I haven't researched too much on this one yet but seems to fit the bill, albeit a bit over my budget
Can I get some advice/opinions? Personal experiences?
The advantage of the separate mic solution is that I might record other stuff with it and it might end up being cheaper but I really don't know what the difference in sound will be (pikcup vs mic)
Fuck, Beck is generic as fuck. it's like every manga, but with music as its main theme.
Is it normal for untouched strings to vibrate enough to make background noise if you play a single note loudly?
>>61515500
why do you hate music anon?
>>61515513
on bass it is
>>61515513
Sympathetic resonance
>>61514323
Rarewood is fine, but why the fuck would you get a brand new instrument relic'd
>>61515500
Beck is awesome, fuck you.
Is there a way to get a "shoegaze sound" through software? I can't afford any pedals right now. I've been experimenting with Ableton but I can't seem to get it.
>>61515513
Yes, very much so. Learn proper muting.
>>61515500
Should have read Over Rev instead.
>guitar was supposed to be delivered from 10:30-2:30
Fuck you, UPS.
>>61515602
what's a shoegaze sound and yes, in FL studio for example you can do quite a bit (for example using the Hardcore plugin VST whatever it's called)
>>61515567
See: >>61515431
I was just playing around with the configurator and it looked kinda neat. I probably wouldn't pay for it, but it's a service that Sandberg offers.
>>61515602
just add the typical shoegaze effects (multiple delays, reverse reverb, distortion) and see what you get. You'd have better luck with a cheap multieffects pedal, though. You can find a shitty early 2000s Digitech on CL for like $25.
>>61515531
>>61515571
I like it, but it's no diferent than every shounen.

The part when the bully breaks tanaka's acoustic guitar was very good though.
>>61515908
Cliches are fine, they serve a purpose and they're clearly over exaggerated in Beck. Just enjoy the story man, it's not a masterpiece or anything like that but it's a really fun read.

>mini humbuckers
What?
Pretty sure that pic related is what is called a mini humbucker. Mines are about the same size as two J pickups glued together, and don't look or sound similar at all.
Just watch K-On, it doesn't have any shonen cliches. Just moe cliches.
>>61516088
It's a trope, a very very boring one.
>>61516079
Midnight blue, not blueburst. And it's a 4001. I'll buy one to fulfill my weeb needs at some point, won't really play it though since I'm not a fan.
going to try to sell this bass plus a gator hard case at GC today. It originally cost $899 as you can see here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/ibanez-srf700-portamento-4-string-fretless-electric-bass
How much can I expect them to give me for it? It's in like-new condition.
>>61516154
$200
> tfw in band as guitarist, only want to play bass

If I was actually in a band with friends we would take turns.
>>61516137
>>61516106
Sorry I've never seen FLCL Didn't realise it wasn't blue burst
>>61516154
They'll try their best to rip you off, sell it to someone privately if you want any decent amount of money for it.
>>61516201
Join two bands.
Would it be redundant to buy a MXR Chorus and a MXR Univibe, or would the Univibe take care of it all?
>>61516154
don't sell it to guitar center, put it on craigslist and talkbass. Any classifieds really.
>>61516207
FLCL is fucking awesome, but it's artsy and weird as hell.
>>61516228
Then get stuck playing the boring parts for both
I've been playing bass for a year now, playing (and learning) seriously for 3 or 4 months. Do I have any chance to find some people to jam with or a band that could use me? Be honest.
>>61516235
>>61516217
>>61516175
Already been posted there for months. I'm taking it to GC as a last resort.
They offered me $350 for a Spector Legend with aftermarket EMGs (didn't accept it), which wasn't an extreme rip off seeing as thats close to what they usually sell for.
>>61516207
well I haven't seen FLCL either but I've seen blueburst finishes and this ain't it
>>61516293
Well, yeah. A fretless isn't going to sell too well. You can always ask them and then decide though, do you need the money right now?
>>61516264
>be honest
>doesn't show a record of him playing
Numbers don't mean shit.
>>61516232
Also on this note, would a phaser be better than a Univibe?
>>61516332
I don't need it immediately, no.
I put it on CL for $600, no bites. Now I'm down to $500 and still no offers.
>>61516348
Oh, yeah. I'm stupid. Give me a minute, I'll record a thing or two.
>>61516264
Yeah. A lot of dudes are looking for a bassist who will just play root notes or follow the guitar, which shouldn't be very hard for you.
>>61516371
>Give me a minute, I'll record some covers off of youtube and post them on vocaroo
ftfy
>>61516062
don't just use it for long sustained notes, you can run it across strings as im sure you know
>>61516264
yeah mate, just pick your battles and practice your shit
also, if you're looking to jam, focus on your improv
>>61516384
pretty much, I'm a decently technical bassist and I play extremely simple during jams. there's still a lot of fun to be had. I just wish my band could stay cohesive when I noodle though...
>>61516240
That's what makes it awesome
>you will never watch episode 4 for the first time again
How many of you have completed Mickey Baker's jazz guitar books?
Any tips for practicing timing? Like how do you guys alternate your metronome and such. I've been playing for about 2 years and my go to songs are good, but I'm trying to take it to the next level. I have a jam buddy, but he isn't always available to play
>>61516579

http://vocaroo.com/i/s12HYvARarEu
>>61516579
This might sound stupid but it's much harder than it seems.
Get a clicking metronome, and try to clap along with it so that you cannot hear the metronome. If you hear the click you fell out of time. This is really hard to keep up and I'm sure if someone did this for 5 minutes a day they could have near perfect time in a couple months.
>>61516700
can't hear shit captain turn up that gain
>>61516731
If you turn up your speakers or headphones it should be loud enough, yes the recording is a mess I have no clue how to use ableton.
>>61516761
well I ain't doing that, I have other shit running in the background that might make noise and I don't want it to make me go deaf
whatever you're using to record, turn up the gain

jesus fuck guy you're not going to America's Got Talent you're going to jam with other amateur musicians
just find like-minded players and make no false pretenses about your ability and you won't have problems

Ignore >>61517135, hollow bodies are the kind of guitars where you don't want to skimp. They are also the kind of guitars where tonewoods aren't just a meme and where even the finish can impact your tone.
>>61517189
you know, that really depends on the scene where you live
any big city will have so many classifieds you might as well be specific about what you're looking for
>>61517134
>you have /gg/'s permission to play with other people
Hmm, alright. I guess I'll see if I can find someone then.
>>61517145
>jesus fuck guy you're not going to America's Got Talent you're going to jam with other amateur musicians
I'm nervous and self conscious about my progress, I actually play better usually but I got nervous because I knew someone will be listening to what I'm playing when I recorded that. It's stupid but yeah, that's how it works for me.
>>61517169
Oh I'll be brutally honest, no doubt about that.
>>61517189
Okay, guess I'll set myself up as "complete amateur bassist (played for X months) looking for someone to jam with" or something like that.
>>61514145
>guitar center
>the musician's choice

>>61517136

>I'm nervous and self conscious about my progress, I actually play better usually but I got nervous because I knew someone will be listening to what I'm playing when I recorded that. It's stupid but yeah, that's how it works for me.
Well, the same used to happen to me, don't sweat it. You will stop overthinking when you get comfortable playing for and with others.
>>61517240
Used department might have some good prices.
>>61517208
not him, but how does the finish impact the tone? not trying to start a sick toanzwood debate, just haven't heard much on that before
>>61517239
Everyone does that, i do it in front of my father, every fucking time.
You need to go, m8, there's not an option, it doesn't matter if you don't play well (which is not the case) you'll only ger better, trust me.
>>61517266
I'll keep that in mind, I wouldn't mind playing with older people.
>>61517278
That's good to know, thanks man.
Actually, thank you all for taking the time, listening to my recording and replying.
>>61516716
Thanks I'll make it a point to try this dily
>>61517288
If it's too thick it will dampen the top's vibrations. It's less important than other stuff like construction and choice of wood though.
>>61517208
The finish will not effect the amplified tone of a hollowbody. There's a few factors that get lost if you're dealing with magnetic pickups in full hollowbodies. You definitely shouldn't skimp though. Also I though riviera was semi hollow why does epiphone make such confusing guitars.
Actually watch this it's not somebody saying tonewood doesn't matter I promise.
http://youtu.be/PUMDIyXaGNc
>>61517336
ah ok that makes sense, is it also why cheap shitty guitars have laminate tops? to make them harder and slightly more playable despite the shitty plywood lol

>bass player
>worried if he is good enough

Your fine kiddo.
What tonewood should I get for my guitar?
>>61517135
>>61517208
>>61517339
Honestly I like the Joe Pass Emperor II more. Also, don't hollow body guitars have more feedback? Why would manufacturers intentionally make them like that and engineer solutions around them? For looks? Does it sound better?
I'll be honest with you guys I don't know jack SHIT about amps. Sorry, I'll admit I haven't done much research. I'll start now, but still will ask for a recommendation.
>>61517239
> I actually play better usually but I got nervous because I knew someone will be listening to what I'm playing when I recorded that. It's stupid but yeah, that's how it works for me.
that's how it works for everybody, I'm not kidding
you're pretty much never going to be playing with other musicians without being flustered and/or with the warm-up time you usually get
your worth as a musician is being able to perform under these conditions
however, jamming is for fun and learning, and therefore it's ok to make mistakes and not be a power badass
now stop being afraid of literally fucking nothing and go play some music, it's a wonderful hobby. if somebody gives you shit, the problem is them, not you.
>>61517363
I don't think the two things conflate at all. Rather, it's more common to have one or the other but not both. Sturdy is quite a nice thing to have if it's not by having a heavy ass top. I like laminates and they are growing in popularity with serious musicians.
>>61517308
So I guess that's totally normal, but I suppose that'll also go away at some point if you are used to play with other people. Actually, I'll also check with my teacher since he knows plenty of people and students and he could also use me to play together with the kids he is teaching.
>>61517367
Central europe, so nope.
>>61517388
Messing up is still not great, even if nobody notices (they probably would).
>>61517410
I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the encouraging words.
>>61517393
wet sand
>>61517363
Sometimes laminates can sound good though, it's preferable to have a good laminate than a soft wood. It will dampen the sound less.
>>61517339
Resonance affects the string vibrations too, so it will affect the amplified tone. It's also why hollow bodies feedback more.
>>61517400
It has a different sound. Feedback is also sometimes desirable. And pretty sure they also tend to be lighter than their solid body counterparts. Looks play a role too, of course.
>>61517393
Seafoam green
>>61517400
If you don't know these things you are not ready to buy a hollowbody. I'm not trying to be rude but you need to know what you want. When it comes to hollowbodies it's not just "good" or "bad". Start with a solidbody, or if you want to spend a lot on looks a centerblocked semihollow.

In Southern Man, Neil does this thing where he slightly bends a note on the high E-string while fully bending a note a whole tone below it on the B-string. For example, E-string: 10; B-string: 13 at the start of the solo here - https://youtu.be/kVRxdPWV3RM?t=4m14s
I can't seem to manage this without the B-string totally drowning out the E-string, is there some technique I'm missing or does is it just require a different amp tone?
Also at 4:40 he kind of resolves the top note into the lower one as it bends down in a totally smooth way. How the hell do I do that?

By 4:40 I mean 4:30, sorry.

Bend a bit quicker. Try not to spend time close to but not quite on the same note. Listen to the solo from where is my mind and practice with a bit of gain. The technique is the same.

3mm stubbies for me on bass, also Dunlop. I rarely use a pick though.

Whoo, gearpost.

Amp isn't the greatest thing around but it gets the job done. Probably gonna get a Markbass amp once I have the cash though.

I have a La Patrie with a built in pickup, and it is super convienent and also has a tuner built in. Sounds great plugged into an amp and don't have to carry around a mic and PA when you can just plug in any guitar amp.

>>61517815
jazz III XL are great
cant ever find them in store though so i have to order them off amazon
What's a good bass amp for recording? Amazon sent me a broken fucking Pignose and now I'm lost.
My price range is like $80 so my options suck horse anus.
Low power + Big speaker?
More power + Little speaker?

depending on the sound you want you don't really need a bass amp for recording. you can do all the sound tweaking and EQing through an audio interface and software.

>>61518356
have you tried plugging it in ?
>>61515827
I like messing around in the tunings used on Murray St and most motW albums

I have various pre's and a bass DI so you are kee-rect in that I don't need the amp for recording, however I want to have the amp for the sake of using different mic techniques and shit, plus I want to be able to jamb with people sometimes too.
>>61518505
Actually no, all the electronics were busted and rattling around loose inside the enclosure right out of the box. The thing was donkeyfucked for sure. I didn't even think it would be safe to plug it in. Also that pic isn't of mine, I just found that on the interweb.

I think so but you don't have much brand or size options
better just buy a bunch of backups on amazon or something

Foreskins and Headstocks. That's why jews cut them off, they're reaping our toans
>>61518822

Hi guys, I probably should ask somewhere else, but you guys always save my ass. So I got a new mic, and want to start recording, so I assume I need an interface? I need some recommendations and/or advice on recording, thanks in advance!
>>61519228
Audacity.

>>61519228
what mic you got? you'll need an innaface. what sorta shit are you planning to do? guitar/vocals?

I have a question about picking technique. Is it bad if you don't keep the pattern up down up down as you play a scale? Because it's much simpler for me to start with down whenever I switch to a new string, will this have consequences for me later on?
>>61519270
I tried that but it didn't sound so good, maybe I just need to set it up right?>>61519285
Shure SM57 and guitar and vocals yeah
>>61519291
If you switch to a higher string then you pick down down. If you switch to a lower string you pick up up (ideally).
So, I just recently got my first guitar, sure I sound like a fag but I don't give a shit as most of you don't even play an instrument anyway. I was just wondering if any of you here have any suggestions on what the best course of learning would be. Here's a pic of my guitar, just a standard Yamaha Acoustic.
>>61519381
>I tried that but it didn't sound so good
Did you even bother to change any settings? Also, do you have a pop filter?
>>61519406
JustinGuitar, and figure out songs you want to play instead of the ones he recommends (not for the first few stages)

How do I stop playing guitar and bass? Its getting really shit and gay
>>61519406
Justin guitar (just google it) is pretty good, got me through the essentials, but the most important thing is having an idea where you are and where you want to get to in terms of skills and getting into improving that. At 2-3 months you should be good enough to play all the chords and entertain your friends/family. Good luck!
>>61519489
Don't buy the Les Paul.
>>61519406
Seconding JustinGuitar if you're literally a total beginner. His beginner and intermediate courses have everything you need to get out of the gate and start making the music you want to make eventually.
>>61519461
I set it so it recognized the mic I plugged, and what's a pop filter?
>>61519565
>what's a pop filter?
>>61519489

Thank you guys so much for all the suggestions, I really, really do appreciate it.
>>61519603
i don't like used guitars (it's retarded i know) but i'm gonna try to find the amps used
>>61519552
why not? i've only heard good things about the 2016 studios
>>61519604
Best advice you can follow is to pick as much up as you can by ear and study music theory from a textbook.
>>61519653
Explorer is better, you don't need the LP.

You and every other faggot. Explorer is a top tier unappreciated body.
>>61519489
Spend less on guitars and more on amps you bone monkey. Amps are most important to tone.
>>61519770
they are not for everyone though. I dislike most LPs but some people love them. I'd love an Explorer or V
>>61519738
thanks anon i meant locally first then resort to something like GC after that but ty

i already have a really nice orange rockaverb, i want some marshall and vox toanz and new guitars to play.
