LAST THREAD: >>61724496
>from old thread
how bad is pic related?
>>61737907
Okay.. Btw you do get what I mean right? Basically the exposed wood part is being cut into by the ferrule I think, and so there's like a big hole cut in it. I'm just wondering if that would be a problem, but I thought not since its not the wood thread.
Thinking about starting bass. My budget is ~300€
Any recommendations?
I play a Warwick Thumb 5 into a Peavey Tour450 head+TC Electronic cab. I play death metal.
>>61738015
>Warwick Thumb 5
Uh, is it at least comfy? I play a Corvette $$ 5 copy, never liked the look of the thumb.
>>61737960
>Btw you do get what I mean right? Basically the exposed wood part is being cut into by the ferrule
Yes, when I said the wood fibers are being compressed I meant by that ferrule. It shouldn't be a problem, if it is then repair.
>I thought not since its not the wood thread.
There's two parts, the body, now damaged, and the neck, not damaged, yet. The wood around that ferrule is now compressed and the fibers of the wood have ripped apart slightly weakening the bond between the body, ferrule, and screw even though its tight now the wood at the compressed area may become fatigued at some point causing the area to degrade further needing the plug repair. Don't tighten the screw further or you risk damaging the neck.
>>61737953

Not really bad at all anon, they play well and the floyd in em is half-decent.
EMG's is iffy though, they are what they are, make good live pups.
What kind of books would you recommend to a beginner luthier/someone interested in building guitars?
>>61738286
I just like V's you dunce
>>61737953
What V is that?
>>61738310
See if there's a luthier that could use an unpaid intern, you learn a lot, and they get some help around the shop.
>>61738348
That's a BC Rich. If they have the in-line headstock they look pretty good.
>>61738283
Oh shit that sounds serious.. How long do you think it might take to have things screw up? 5 years?
How do you plug and drill again? Won't you damage the finish outside the hole?
>>61738348
Pretty sure it's a Schecter Blackjack.

Sorry for samefagging but I need to check mein dubs.
>>61737960
Not him but damn man I feel your pain. I'm the guy that has the cobalt blue 655.
Bring it to a tech, even just for inspection or a quote on the work needed. We can help here but maybe it's time for someone to inspect it personally.
Maybe later you can tell us what he said and we can assure if it's BS or not. In any case it's a good guitar and perhaps worth the repair.
>>61738535
I'm not too sure if its anything serious though.. I was planning on just leaving it.
>>61737960
iktfb ;_;
>>61738367
I have no way of knowing how long, it may never need repair there are 3 other screws supporting it.
Slight damage really, you will just see a maple plug slightly larger than the hole is now, with the screw/ferrule in the middle.
The neck is removed, and the body is drilled with a forstner bit, using tape around the hole to further minimize any damage, generally you get a very clean hole. Using a maple or mahogany plug, glue the plug/.hole and drive in the plug, let glue cure overnight, sand flush on both sides, drill new hole in center of plug, and countersink pocket. Reassemble. Touch up plug with some tung oil to keep the wood protected and finished. I don't recommend you do it yourself, you need a drill press and positioning hardware to get it right.

>>61738736
thank mr skeletal
has anyone here gotten to play a schecter diamond bass? somewhere in the ~$1k price range? if so, what were your thoughts on it?
>>61738400
They make one
>>61738780
Looks just like Gibson's v. Do not want.
>>61738768
I own one, after a setup it plays and sounds great. Highly recc if you're looking for a touring/reliable gigging bass and you play funk/metal/heavy rock.
>>61738817
It has higher fret access unlike a Gibson V, iirc they have contours at the back too that Gibbys don't have.
Plus some dimensions are different, headstock, neck profile, etc etc.

>>61738823
thanks, I ordered pic related yesterday and I'm a bit antsy about seeing as I bought it on faith alone
I'd played a lot of Schecter guitars in different ranges and they were all great compared to their price tags but the only bass I tried was a cheapo Stiletto and it was dog shit
at least now I can stop fidgeting
What does /gg/ think of the blacktop strats? Seriously considering the Sonic Blue for next gwiutar
>>61738763
Yeah leave it, get it checked. The plug in the pic is sort of what it would look like the surrounding area is not damaged at all, there would just be a bare wood plug flush with the body, the screw and ferrule in the middle. The size of the plug would depend on the underlying damage but as small as possible. I wish I had a picture of an actual repair but I think you'll get the idea.
>he thinks he's a rock star
>why doesn't he play a real instrument, like violin?
>I bet he can't even read music!
>>61738866
Honestly dude, as soon as you get it get a tech to set it up with a new set of strings. You should be perfectly fine.
In the case you do get a lemon (it happens sometimes with any brand) make sure you can get a return or exchange.
what do you guys think of the TVL jazzmaster?
do you be as cool as TVL if you play one?
is 1300 too much for a MIM?
I haven't played a MIM in a long time, but I remember the strat a friend had that was MIM was really good.
>>61738886
Alright I'm just going to leave it then. I seriously hopes it doesn't die out on me. Thanks for the help man. Love you.
>>61738927
I think 1300 is too much for a MiM. Guitar looks sexy though.
>>61738886
Oh and yeah, is this a serious damage or not?
>>61738918
said nobody, never.
does anyone know the deal with musicstorelive or the stratosphere?
musicstorelive is in vermont where I live...it was really bizarre, theres basically nothing in this state for music stuff and the economy is really shitty and then all of a sudden these ads appear on craigslist of a spot that has a gajillion extremely valuable vintage guitars pops up and then its everywhere online with mega marketing budget (at least for guitar type shit for a 'small business') they sell a lot of 'open box' stuff for stupid cheap on ebay too somehow, even though they don't have an actual store.
stratosphere is in NH and has an incredible amount of parts from production guitars. If you have a current production gibson or fender, you can buy necks, bodies, pickups, etc from these guys who aren't affiliated with either company..always thought that was bizarre too. How does a non-affiliated company sell crap loads of what seem to be factory seconds of current production guitars? Wouldn't those companies usually destroy those items?
>>61738967
It's not "repair it today" serious, it just could get loose again from the compression of the wood then it would be time. Just don't tighten it further.

how do i get into building guitar pedals?
>>61739183
Okay, thanks man. The ferrule seems to be situated below the part that the wood cut in, I wonder if that means anything.

probably advisable to get a kit for the first couple builds
The worst part about building effects is ordering the parts and getting everything ready to go. Its annoying as fuck having to deal with lots and lots of tiny parts that require you to figure out their values. Also, the cost of parts doesn't add up to much, but often you will have to order parts from various distributors and have to pay incredibly annoying shit like 6 dollars shipping on 0.35 cents of parts. The shipping is what kills you when trying to build a pedal for cheaper than the production.
Actually building the pedal is very easy.
>>61739231
It's just where it compressed the wood.
>>61739277
I heard they are just as good as a Fender American Standard.

>probably advisable to get a kit for the first couple builds
yes, thought about this since we got a nice german store to order kits. But I'm more confused about howto build pedals from scratch or build circuits where there is no kit available.
whats the best way? Thought about perfboard but i think it would be incredible hard to build something on it because of the traces. is there any other possebility?

>>61739685

>>61738876
Not entirely relevant but I bought the baritone tele blacktop and, for the retail price, it was absolute garbage. Tuners were shit, pickups were muddy as hell and the position of the bridge meant it was impossible to intonate the low string. Luckily I got it second-hand for dirt cheap.
Like I said, not entirely relevant but I was totally not surprised when they discontinued the blacktop series. Definitely see if you can find one to try before you buy.

Whats the big difference between Squiers and Fenders
>>61739941
the name, go die fag
>>61739894
Shitposting aside... It's going to be bad when your idols or inspirations start dying, if some of the recent passings have not been that to you.
Although I have this odd feeling I will not die old.
>>61739898
Oh shit I'm fucking dumb I assumed he was talking about music.
>>61739941
Parts quality and quality control.
So basically in most cases Fenders will be better than Squiers, save for a few exceptions where you could find a great squier.
>>61739685
maybe if you're making meme music
otherwise something like this is way more practical:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX2GvOc3GLU
>>61739941
Squiers offer better bang for your buck, but you aren't going to get USA quality from a Squire.
So if you're deciding between an MIM Fender and a CV or VM Squier, get the Squier
That being said, USA Fenders are really cool and you should get one (used or new) if you can afford it. If you buy a guitar you can't afford, you're an idiot

Guilty as charged, not on this thread though. And I don't claim Gibsons are the best in the planet, all I say is no LTD can really compare to them. ESP? Yes, of course. Probably it's even better most of the time. Gibson has some shitty lines (Junior, Special). I'd love pic related tho and I'm not even a LP guy (the gibsons I like are SG, Explorer and Flying V, basically. Oh and Thunderbird bass).

yeah dude totally. it's not like the STRAT was the precursor of the superSTRAT or anything like that
>>61741329
gotta agree with this. I don't really think of pointyness as a definitive feature of a superstrat. I don't think the SG has a ton in common.
>>61738927
1300 is way too much for a MIM, fine if it was MIJ though. The actual instrument is one of the most beautiful things Fender has ever done. I'd reckon nobody here has played one in person but the color really is unbelievable and is without a doubt part of the reason it costs so much.

>>61743237
like clockwork you sperglords assume I am defending the shit you're sperging about. I am beyond the level of maturity of a preteen and thus have no strong feelings towards any kind of inanimate object
your coddled socially retarded ass is wrong for thinking anybody gives a shit about your cool kid opinions
you are incapable of making any judgement more complex than guilt by association and anything you could potentially say is shit and bears immediate dismissal
feel appropriately ashamed of yourself, and by appropriately I mean to the point of suicide
>>61743384
i aint reading all that shit Tolstoy
Check out the tone on this. How to achieve?

Sorry, forgot link. I'm specifically talking about the leads and the voice

>>61743553
how much
Is it okay if I only like playing songs? I don't like practicing scales, chords and studying all that shit.
>>61743676
For a MIJ budget Jackson from the 90s
right now it's missing a few bits and pieces (string clamps, volume knob, whammy bar)
when I clean it up it'll be worth $300
but I wouldn't want to give you it with that shitty trem
I'll put an OFR in it and give it to you for $400 OBO
>>61743790
>implying you're allowed to do what you want with your time, hands and gear
>>61743790
depends on which songs
if you can play Race With Devil On Spanish Highway naturally you're golden
otherwise prepare to remain pleb
How long will it take before I start getting jazz?
>>61740205
Being uncreative looks painful. Why are you so mad :^)
>>61743965
he's mad because he's shit
so he has to come here and project on everything
>>61743833
What trem does it have on it tbqh? what's wrong with it?
looks like a schaller produced licensed floyd tbqh
>>61743963
Learn your chords, modes and scales, listen listen listen and practice practice practice and you should be golden.
>>61743965
>>61744005
>u don't like something so ur shit!
:^^)
guys, my guitar teacher is being continuously unhelpful now. How do i fit interesting chords into progression so that it sounds fluid? i understand there may not be a one size fits all rule but just creative methods in doing so would be cool to know
>>61744012
On it. Thanks man. I think the problem is maybe my ears are just not used to notes outside of the major scale
>>61741812
hot
>>61743915
Sure, I could probably figure it out by ear in a few weeks but that's my question: is that okay? I can play it like a parrot, repeating the notes without understanding them, but it would take me a lifetime of studying to "get" or "understand" all those complex relationships between tones and intervals and bla bla, which feels like a chore and I don't enjoy it at all.
I'm thinking that maybe it isn't worth the effort to do it half-assed like that.
>>61744120
>it would take me a lifetime of studying to "get" or "understand" all those complex relationships between tones and intervals and bla bla
You're really overestimating the difficulty of this.
>>61744034
having opinions is OK
trying to pass them as facts is not
>>61744217
I literally never tried passing them as facts.
>>61744034
If you don't like it you can just move on. No need to force your blooz lawyer taste on others because you dislike a fuzz sound.
Also:
Stop with the
>usable
meme, it makes you look incapable of using simple pedals.
>>61744202
Seriously. There's only 12 notes
>>61744217

If you don't own a Gibson just kys

Jelly boy doesn't have a Gibby lol xD :^)
>>61744392
They're less of blanket rockist statements like "usable".
That was not me btw. I like shoegaze and various fuzz tones.
>>61744120
who cares about all that stuff
the others in the band can write the music
all you need to do is play it
What's the point of practicing your technique when everyone despises shred?
>>61744202
>>61744263
The Ted Greene book on the OP suggests otherwise. But still, it's so much effort to put in for a hobby, don't get me wrong, I feel guilty for feeling this way, but why bother to learn the theory if I can just read tabs or tab out songs myself in order and just play.
>>61744455
I don't know about you but most bands I've auditioned for demand their guitar players to write at least the guitar arrengements. Also, in order to come up with material in the first place, the method par excelence is "let's get together and improvise!" which is scary for me because I revert back to pentatonic mode in that situation.
>>61744392
yeah you know what, fuck trying to make this point at all, it's clearly above your capacity
please start using a trip so we can filter you, at least until you learn what's pertinent/conductive to discussion and what's pointless indefensible bullshit
>>61744532
>everyone
what?
also, there's more to technique than just shredding
>>61744532
Technique is wider than shred. There's chord changes, stretching, multi dteing lines, weird voicings, overall timing, etc. It makes you better at expressing what you want to do musically and it may give you new ideas. Obsessing on technique is qhat's despised, not technique itself.
>>61744609
Fuck mobile. *string, *what
>>61744606
Fucking rekt :^)
I got this cab the other day. Is it better if the amp matches the name on the cab or can you mix them? Just wondering what's best
So one of the guitar techs at a large local music store was telling me that I should not buy a Fender Jazzmaster because the Squier VM is better with some modifications
I was thinking about getting the Fender JM HH but is a modded VM one that much better? (I play stoner rock/metal)
>>61744696
>cheap guitar is better than guitar that only costs like $250 more with $300 of upgrades
weow
>>61744696
You do know there's nothing stopping you from modding your jazzmaster right? Every relevant and not so relevant guitarist out there mods their stuff.
>>61744696
you can probably just leave your house and go try out both of these models unless you live in the middle of Bumfuck, Nowhere
also, if you don't gig regularly, don't sweat it. get the cheapest one that's good enough by your standards.
>>61744696
What's the point of an hh jazzmaster tbqh?
Well guys, I have a drummer, a bassist, both a little rough around the edges but so am I. We just need a singer. Why is that the hardest part? I've auditioned like 23 singers and 99% of them were straight ass. At this point either I'm singing or I'm finding some friend or someone to train.
>>61737976
Fender MIM P-Bass for punk/rock Jazz Bass for everything (literally every genre).
>>61738387
If your budget is 50 bucks, AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-M20X. That is about the best thing in that price range. Can't be that picky.
>>61739243
I bought their cheapest Jazz clone, and it was actually pretty damn fantastic out of the box. I bought one of their cheapest Tele clones and the hardware was soda-can aluminium. After a nut change and hardware change, it was passable. Was not that impressed.
>>61740330
Man that shit is terrible. Sounds like a slightly overdriven slant single coil in the bridge. Take your pick (Tele, Strat, etc.).
>>61740485
Good cheap basses, good cheap mid-tier guitars.
>>61741027
Don't risk your tone brah. A good way is to remove the speakers, place cardboard or some other material between the speaker mount board and the grill, and spray paint with a cut-out pattern.
>>61744053
The problem with "interesting chords" is that they are position dependant. If you are just noodling around get used to shaping power chords or root's and 3rds to give it what you are looking forever. Alternatively, Find an interesting chord, and then learn it's positions and pick out some stuff for your whatever. There is a chord "wheel" of generally accepted "well sounding" chords that go together in a progression, a Google search should bring it up.
>>61744841
but you;re not factoring in his budget
>>61744982
>position dependent
Sorry, what does this mean?
>>61744695
Name on cab VS head name means absolutely nothing. In theory they should match up better, but that is almost never the case. Since yours looks like a 2x12, just make sure and play it with any head you are looking to buy. Plenty of people use Marshall 1960 cabs with whatever head they want on it.
>>61744982
What genre are you going for. I feel like some are harder to sing for than others.
>>61745055
If you're playing a riff somewhere in the middle of nowhere on your neck, you need to find chords for that "position" which will keep you from a frustrating trip up and down the neck to play open basic/interesting chords? If you are simply talking chord progression, it's mostly trial and error, if it was all spelled out music would be pretty boring.
>>61744776
It's not any cheaper to upgrade pickups on a nice guitar than a cheap one. I'm tired of getting trashed for upgrading cheap guitars. I always get the same comment, "for $200 more you could have an intermediate instrument blah blah". I'm not putting mods into it to make it inter-fucking-mediate, I'm trying to make it exactly the guitar I want. I don't want to pay more for a fret job that's "pretty level," when either way I'm going to give it a fret job to make it perfect. If you demand perfection from an instrument, it's going to be cheaper to do it yourself. Yes, it's going to be harder. But it WILL be cheaper, and I don't want to hear otherwise ever again. It's fucking realistic that paying someone else for expert work costs more. Just like getting a carpenter to replace your doorknob, you ought to know you're throwing your money away.
not him btw ;)

Money will come. If customization isn't an immediate need, then he's in a better position with a real jazzmaster later. He can figure out what he wants to do with the thing as he saves up for additional upgrades
>>61743633
what a dumb response
stay small
>>61745091
That is just it, we just want someone who can sing. No onikers, no growlers, just someone that can sing. I come from a metal/90's alt/prog background, drummer is more 90's rock and newer radio friendly metal, bassist is more alt/rock.
Everyone so far has been screaming off pitch or lives too far away.
>>61745110
yeah that's very true, thanks for helping out

Why not make your own instruments from scratch then?
>>61745156
I can literally picture your furrowed brow and cracking voice in my head as I read this
>>61745159
Yeah thats a hard one. If your above average and your songs are good enough it might work. A good back up is go for someone with an ungeneric voice and if your songs are good enough it can work.
>>61745160
I like going through a big thread and seeing all the posts that got ignored.
>>61745264
>picture people saying posts out loud
you're flustered and autistic noice
>>61745256
because I don't own the very expensive tools required. Not to mention people tend to exaggerate the variety of guitars designs out there. Ideally I would build my own, but it would be mostly for aesthetic reasons. Modding a guitar is cheap, building one is not.

Jesus fuck when will the Jazzmaster bullshit end? You play metal. What makes you think a Jazzmaster is a good guitar for metal? If you absolutely must ruin Jazzmasters for the rest of us who like them for how they play and not for the trendy look, you want the one with humbuckers and will probably want to swap them with something. You will also need a different bridge and the trem is not good for metal or hard rock. Do you know anything about guitars? What you want is probably almost the opposite of a Jazzmaster.
