with title this time
No actual musicians on /mu/ today?
My collection so far. It's taken a while to build this up, it's not like I won the lottery or anything. Been playing for about 15 years or so now. I love my SGs and the 335, and all the basses.
>>61558930
>today
>>61558948
what make is that fretless MM/P bass?
>>61558930
I'm an actual musician, fortunately I don't play any instrument
Thoughts on the Bogner Helios?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEdOGtHNtuY
Is strumming with a Jazz III kind of trickey or do I just suck that bad? I can't seem to figure out how to hold it on the upstroke so I don't catch on the bottom strings.
>>61558948
Cool, I've played about the same. Are you in a band or a session player?
>>61558980
>that "muh rock tonez" demo
its probably a good head. bogner stuff is quite solid but i havent played that model myself
/gg/ i want you to rank these select old white guy guitarists in order of how much you enjoy thier solo'ing:
Mark Knopfler
Neil Young
Eric Clapton
David Gilmour
Eric Johnson
is there a way to get riffs into your muscle memory faster than just playing them over and over again with a metronome
i seem to have more trouble with really simple repetitive ones that only have a couple of notes for some reason
>>61559038
All I play is rock though. Am I a meme?
>>61558964
That's a Warmoth custom job - P body with a Jazz neck, pickups are Bartolini and there's some kind of piezo bridge in it
Love my SGs
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mCouehFewIA
>>61559069
naw, i was just laughing at the demo
>>61559022
A bit of both, usually touring with one of the two bands I play with. I also record my own stuff, which is how most of the instruments get used
>>61558930
>today
lmao
Sandberg, what the fuck? They don't offer this colour without the aged finish, you can't get nickle mechanics without the aged finish. I'm sure a call or mentioning it during the order will sort that out, but why would they do that? Their configurator is super cool but sometimes it's just stupid like that.

Show me your straps faggots.
>>61559238
>relic'd
Literally what I was complaining about, I want that colour but without the relicing.
Also, I've been looking at a P-bass for a while now and before I buy a Fender I might as well go Sandberg again and have an additional bridge PU when I need/want it.
Matched headstock just looks better IMO, can't see ehx you wouldn't want it.
What Guthrie Govan song should I listen to first (on YT)? Get me hooked, ni/gg/as.
>>61559320
my bad, reading comprehension fail
as far as I know the configurator just generates custom orders so maybe you can get in touch with them and ask
>Also, I've been looking at a P-bass for a while now and before I buy a Fender I might as well go Sandberg again and have an additional bridge PU when I need/want it.
if you're in murrica you might be interested in Schecter's Diamond P Plus. might waste less money on all the import related shit.
it's not nearly on par with sandberg's california series but closer to the electra ballpark.
>Matched headstock just looks better IMO, can't see ehx you wouldn't want it.
it looks better on some finishes if you pick the rosewood or ebony neck but with maple it just clashes IMO
>>61559486

Cheap strap reporting in
>>61559538
underage please go
Guize, how can I cap'n jazz?
So far I tuned to FACGCE, practiced sliding pull offs, and making up chords. what now?
>>61559510
Weird, I like it especially on the maple fretboard. But who cares, it's aesthetics. Also, I can buy a custom Sandberg for 1700€ here, actually cheaper or similarly priced to a Fender American Standard.
>>61559001
the problem is you there
>>61559538
Got a little bit of a Rick Nielsen feel to it. I've got a camo Levi's strap on my SG. >>61559083

>>61558948
What Rick is that? I got a 330, wanted a 325 tho
>>61558948
what's that make/model of that minimal body double bass? and how does it play and sound? I assume you got it because having a proper double bass isn't really an option.
>>61559839
you've got a weird name so I gotta ask
what was your nickname in high school
My bends never sound in tune. I can bend up to the note but for some reason it just sounds wrong everytime

>>61560042
That looks sweet
>>61559953
The Rick is a 660/12. Really wonderful guitar.
>>61559967
That's an Eminence, just their regular model not the one with the removable neck. It plays just like a regular 3/4 upright, albeit it's a bit slimmer. The sound unplugged is definitely thinner than a regular upright but with a nice small amp you can get it to sound just like one. I would like a regular upright some day but I just don't play a lot of music on the upright. That and lugging one around is a huge bitch.
>>61560219
that looks so cheap.
Just got an email about this guitar. It's not listed in the new items because it's a single sample they built of the next model they're releasing. "double arch" model, I guess its a 339 as opposed to the agile 335 clones.

>>61560453
...Pictures of what? You think I'm lying?
>>61560489
Sandberg makes amazing basses and, if you're in europe, at a very reasonable price. That's it, handmade in Germany, pristine soldering and electronics, just overall amazing.
>>61560549
he clearly does
>>61560535

Old school prog metal is pretty cool.
Periphery/Tesseract and all this kind of pseudo-prog can choke on a huge dick though.

You're lucky the mods aren't lurking the thread
>>61560905
Quote arrows don't automatically make you right, are you aware of that?
Is a 2x12 good enough to use live in a band with a loud drummer?
>>61560995
do the mods even exist?
this shit goes down thread after thread, always at 4pm when the school day is finished. and it lasts until dinner time starts and little bobby has to to his homework.
>>61561028
Depends how loud the amp is Wattage wise too, but also how loud the volume your drummer is playing at. Tentative yes, Possible no.
>>61561056
I have a 100 Watt tube amp. That cab is rated for 120W so it should be good?
>>61561093
Yeah, You'll be fine. Remember to really crank it if the drummer plays loud though. Earbuds also aren't a bad idea if you have a place you can crank it up at, don't be dumb and get hearing loss.

>>61561398
throw a dummy coil under the pickguard. make sure it's wound about halfway between both pickups. I imagine the mustang pickups are hum cancelling, so you'd want to change it so they both cancel with the middle pickup. Also I think white pickups are nice on mustangs.
>>61559767

>>61561782
10/10 post anon

>>61561650
>white pickups with a pearloid pickguard
Come on, anon.
How would you describe the music of Hozier? Just Blues Rock? These simple catchy tunes with a Blues/Jazz feeling.
Any other artists like him you would recommend to me? I've already searched using the sticky but it hasn't helped too much, browsed the Chamber Pop genre, a few others, but nothing yet.
>I'm talking about the songs like Jackie and Wilson, Someone New, From Eden, while they're rather simple they leave a lot of room for improv and solos that Hozier doesn't seem to fill, so I'd like to write my own stuff that has that included
>>61561398
Carvings/etchings done by professional? New Pickups? Trim?
Honestly I want to just take a bite of your guitar it looks like candy or taffy or cotton candy it looks...so...appealing. I like it. Normally I hate guitars that are like that, so simple but the color is just right.
>>61561875
but I don't like pearloid pickguards either... Also I don't know if you're him but you should really try the dummy coil. I have one in my tele and it sounds great.
>>61561398
competition stripes? they make removable stickers. White or brown would look pretty cool
>>61562227
>brown
Brown clashes badly on pink. Unless you want a guitar that looks like a nigger dick on a swedish vagina I wouldn't recommend it
>>61562167
Not the anon with the Mustang. However, the dummy coil seems interesting. Can something like that be wired to a standard 3 way toggle in a SH pickup configuration to cancel the hum whenever the single coil is active?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkW1QsSIqGQ
>>61562272
It looks blue to me. Is the pickguard pink? I thought that was the lighting. More pics required.
>>61562300
because the middle position would no longer be him cancelling, you just wire the middle to be always on. Just put it straight to the volume pot.
>>61562383
I'm fucking retarded. Thought it was pink for some reason.
Brown wouldn't fit on blue either though.
>>61562064
Yeah. Blues/Jazz or Blues Rock.
Some gospel influences too I think. I just quickly went through some songs on spotify though. Hadn't heard of him before. Thx anon!
I don't really have anything like him but I would look into Gary Clark Jr., Little Hurricane and Black Diamond Heavies (much more "chaotic" or whatever though)
>>61560452
Not him but I agree. Looks cheap as fuck.
>inb4 it's from Rondo and some cuck starts shilling
>>61561398
Get a different pickguard. Those sparkle shits look like ass imo.
>>61562437
Actually, brown would look good on blue.
>>61562637
haha are you having a bad day man?
I want one of these
fender only made them a couple years maybe 4-5 years ago?
>>61562662
I've gotta agree with
>>61562637
On this one I feel like a tort guard would look breddy good.
>>61562670
Hit ebay or up one shows up used locally. Pretty much your only options man.
>>61559083
is that the jeff tweedy SG?
I own this, plus a Boss GT-10 pedalboard and a Line 6 Flextone III amp.
I'm into metal, but i'd like to own a classic american strat because of the tone, or a classic PRS because they are amazing

If you're going the 1 pickup way, then you should have 30 frets just for the sake of having 30 frets.
What's the best practice amp I could get for $350ish?
>>61563142
kek, I dun goof'd. Meant to post the one with two pickups
That red outline always gets me though.
>>61563022
that's a really good shoop. It'd look cool with the wider style too.
i bet y'all niggas can't even shred
>want to buy boutique pedals
>they're covered in quirky art and names
what do? Why can't they just make normal ones?
>>61563187
hate to break it to you but you don't really need to spend that much on a practice amp. Did you maybe mean a combo amp, that you're using for more than just practice?
>>61562588
Why is everyone hating on Rondo? It's easily in the Fender MIM tier.

>>61563323
>gigs

>>61563358
>it's awesome because it has an octopus on it
ok
>>61563296
because they own fender mim, and get offended that people say rondos are as good. Also that claim is pretty absurd if you don't say agile rather than rondo.
>>61563270
do you not like the art? i think its pretty cool that they're treating them like artistic objects. i mean, its not gonna hurt you if they look like that - you obviously are more interested about sound than design
>>61563388
Well they have one pedal with an octopus on it afaik.
And that's their most ugly pedal imo.
Palisades, Hoof, Talons, Afterneath, Rainbow Machine all look great.
>>61563398
>you obviously are more interested about sound than design
Yeah that would be a tragedy
>>61563270
It's to stand out, if they just look normal nothing will be special about them in a sea of other pedals
>>61563425
i'm not criticising haha, its obviously not a bad thing, my point being that design doesn't matter so ignoring the art will be absolutely easy for you surely
>>61563294

>>61563598

>>61563717
Very. Strings feel like they're floating on air, and bends are a breeze. It's kind of the thing you have to play. Some people say it's hit or miss but I don't know how anyone can have a miss with it.
>>61563646

>>61563904
yes, the game is a fantastic learning tool
>>61563948
So much this
>>61561028
Depending on the head +speakers it should be fine for live. Won't push the same air as a 4x12 though but it'll do fine. Might get a little lost in practices where the amp isn't micced through but just give the mids a little boost + position the cab sideways.
I've got a 2x12 and 4x12, use the 2x12 for recording and the 4x12 for live/band pracs.
>>61562782

>>61564001
wow, pretty cool
reminds me of Fender '51s but it's even cooler. You have great taste sir, the colors are incredible too.
So, I've slowly been beginning to prefer solid-state amps. I think that comes mostly from a preference for no reverb and not too much low end. I tend to use low, just barely dirty gain settings, so I don't want the odd harmonics rolled back. I think the more even clipping of a solid state I'd much more true to the guitar. It seems to me like when you use a dirty tone on a tube amp, different guitars sound similar to each other. In other words the amp colors the tone in a good way. But I like the sound of my guitar uncolored.
>>61564229
why do you keep using that mosfet + FRFR setup and blaming your AxeFX?
>>61564380
>his guitar is the height of faggotry
I seriously hope you are another anon pretending to be that ERG fag for lulz

Yeah mate, honestly for EMG's and a decent floyd it's good. I always wanted one but the fins on it always irked me.
>>61563517
>Implying there's something wrong with Hamer
A USA Hamer is most likely better than any guitar you own mate, those things are amazing, if I ever spot a lefty one for sale imma snag her instantly.
>>61564949
I like SS amps for some applications, like old Marshall Valvestates, Ampeg VH140c's, Randall Centuries/Warheads.
Right now I'm using an 800w SS power amp, cleanest fella on the market lol, really good for modellers like the Axe-Fx etc. Not so great for tube pre's.
>>61564960
?
I'm using a POD HD500X..... with a normal guitar cab.....
You're thinking of another guy here who constantly complains about his FRFR setup yet doesn't want to change anything about it.

kek, emetophile detected
I can't believe some people get off to that
>>61565009
You're just mad your baby hands couldn't reach the second lowest string. :^)
>>61565020
I got my BC Rich brand new for around 500€, with active EMGs and Original floyd.
Nice deal is nice.
>>61565074
>baby hands
top kek, my long fingers are one of the features that stand out about me. Ladies love them :^)
what are good choices of pickups for feedback? currently playing the Jazzmaster Squier, I chose it solely to make noise with but I have a fetish for manipulating feedback and wondered if anyone had any tips for going further.
>>61563844
because some people have a hard time bending even 8s
>>61565136
the answer isn't the pickups, it's getting a semihollow
>>61565136
Just get one of these familia
>>61564269
yeah but it plays like a 4 string with a cool build it effect
>>61562988
Hey man he said he played metal. I just suggested making a metal oriented strat with high output pickups or just buying the cringe worth jim root strat since it has emg's in it like that pointy thing.
>>61565136
get lots of cheap distortion and od pedals, then turn them all on at once.
or>>61565198
acoustic electric is even worse (or better if you want crazy feedback)
>>61563329
I never understood the logic behind how these people get these chord shapes. A D13b5b9 chord is just a Bb7 (2nd inversion)
>>61564001
That's sexy man. Where did you come across that? I know that's not a current production model for Charvel.
>>61565272
I'd rather get an archtop Tbh familia. My uncle has a electro acoustic but the tone isn't my cup of tea. To make matters worse, it's a nylon. Nothing like the sound of nickel plated steel strings picked up by magnetic pickups.
>>61565238
>making a metal oriented strat
you mean a le super strat? x)
>>61563392
Not him but posted this a few days ago. Tried ordering a Rondo Les Paul because everyone raves about them. Needed a cheap guitar at the time (this was a couple years ago). Sent back not 1 not 2 but 3 fucking guitars because they were all lemons. I'm sure if you get one that isn't fucked from the factory their good. However their quality control leaves much to be desired. After the third I got a refund and bought a CV Squier strat. Slightly more expensive, zero problems.
>>61565404
Whatever you want to call them kek. I don't play metal I wouldn't know.
>>61563270
>what do?
make your own
>>61565310
I thought the same.
Maybe he wants to think he is playing some jazzy stuff.
Pic related is bassists rig, I like it with the 4x10 but really wish he'd fuck off the 1x15 most of the time, it's pointless live.
>>61565047
Yeah nah FRFR fucking stinks, bands that use it live sound bloody awful.
>Using studio tones live
lmao
>>61565087
Yeah that's a nice price. Nice grab.
>>61565136
Dimarzio X2N.
I just got my first guitar about two weeks ago (https://www.geartree.com/p/ibanez-am73b-artcore-semi-hollow-guitar-jet-blue-flat) and I'm looking to get new strings. How specific do I need to be when buying new strings?
>>61565473
this. It's not that hard, and who knows, you may want to customize.
>>61565622
get flats
>>61565716
Could you give me a link or something else so I know what to grab at the store please? Thank you btw
>>61565422
>rondo shills will defend this
>>61565819
My girlfriend gave me her old guitar, a Daisy Rock Guitars Rock Candy Custom. It looks like shit and sounds like shit, but strangely it plays really well, and I have a lot of fun playing on it. So I've decided I just want to keep it as a mod platform
So, other than replacing the pickups, what are some crazy cool mods I can perform on this guitar? I'm down to do any amount of routing, drilling, wiring etc. as long as the end result is bretty cool
https://youtu.be/j082opb4AZo
>>61565573
>115
>pointless live
Where the fuck did you get that idea?
Anyone know how to repair a solid state amp?
Long story short, I have an old Crate GLX212.
The clean channel and it's eq are working fine.
The rhythm distortion channel does not work, nor does the eq in it's signal path. But, i can switch from the rhythm distortion to the lead distortion and it works just fine. The lead channel is still unaffected by the eq since it's part of the same signal path as the rhythm.
Any idea wtf is going on? I've taken it apart and nothing looks damaged or worn in any way.
>>61566003
Floyd Rose, Sustainiac/Sustainer system Pickups, Killswitch, Scalloped Fretboard
>>61565490
I think people should learn how chords are made before they go memorizing fancy one off chords. With no use in a progression
>>61566068
Good ideas mate
Hate FRs though, I'll probably do a Kahler instead
>>61565310
Uhh not really D13b5b9 and Bb7 are very different chords
>>61566003
You could try going the absolute control route. I haven't seen anyone combine these mods together, but I think it would be amazing. These mods only apply to if you keep a humbucker in it. For each humbucker, you would add two potentiometers, a 6 lug and a no load blender pot. The 6 lug would be a series/parallel blend, and the blender would be a pickup selector between the two coils of the humbucker. The wiring for the blender is the same as a common jazz bass mod.
>>61566277
So, I confused myself. I believe you can use a normal audio pot for the coil blend control.
>>61566277
>>61566347
Sheeit mane that sounds really awesome. Doubt I would have much use for it though :/
>>61566254
The D13b5b9 chord implies Locrian because that's usually were you find both a b5 and a b9. That being said, the full chord would look somewhat like this:
D F Ab C Eb G Bb
A Bb7/D aka first inversion (not 2nd as I previously misspoke) is D F Ab Bb. That fills in the 1 m3 5 and 13 of the original chord.
It's not perfect, but the way I see it, the simpler the better. Especially if you're playing guitar in a jazz band where you're sight reading chords, you don't have time to think about a complicated chord, you gotta simplify it, fast. The guitar is also limited in notes of a chord we can physically play, on piano it would be much different.
>>61565332
Its from 1989. Got it at a vintage guitar shop in the middle of nowhere
>>61566497
nah man, humbuckers suck, you need these mods to pretend you put in single coils
>>61566764
But I like HBs
>>61566040
In a genre as low-end heavy as death metal it's useless live mate, it just creates unnecessary resonance on stage. a 4x10 is more than enough and then you just either mic that up or run a DI from the head and that covers MORE than enough of the low-end spectrum.
When he uses it in a softer and more relaxed environment it has a use but definitely not in heavier styles of music.
>>61566045
Those Crates are a nightmare to work on, they're horribly built and some techs would probably tell you to chuck it lol.
You'd probably have to take it to a tech and hoke that they're nice enough to try it.
>>61566178
>Hates floyds
>Wants to try Kahler
Not_a_good_idea.jpg
At least try finding an older Ibanez edge, stable (if not better than most floyds) and much better than a Kahler.
>>61567133
>hates floyds
>tells him to use a floyd clone
>>61566997
Use your ears mate, not your eyes. 15's don't pump out as much low end as you think they do
>>61567133
How will a Kahler not be different? Not trying to argue, genuinely curious. I was under the impression that a Kahler is much simpler and more stable than a Floyd
can I get an electric guitar recommendation?
real virtuoso
been playing a year and half
think BB King meets Paco de Lucia
Could I just use two 2x12s instead of one 4x12?
>>61567313
hello kitty squier
>>61566003
Remove strings, remove neck (if bolt on), remove electronics. Take a torch to the finish and scrape it off. Leave all of the wood charred, finish with wipe-on poly or tru-oil or something.
Replace humbuckers with p90's, add bigsby.
>>61567330
something something impedance something something
>>61567360
They are 8 ohm each so would I have to run them at 16 ohms?
>>61567210
>>61567133
You can make any floyd playable if you replace the knife edges. Just get some carbon steel and shape it, then harden it. It's a small enough piece that you could do it with a pen torch.
For the record, the original edge is a great trem.
