>>61844853
Birds aren't guitars you silly goose.
>>61844853
Try one out. I've heard a ton of great things about them, but /mu/ is a bunch of contrary retards once they notice other people liking things
Thoughts on this piece of shit?
Starstream 1, a modeling guitar from Vox. http://www.voxamps.com/StarstreamType1
It's both ugly AND sounds bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1P75C8QrVw
>>61844955
nice dragging the starstream through the mud.
>>61844853
If you're going to buy Seagull just buy 3 Merlins and start a Merlin triplet.
>>61844955
Holy shit that distortion, everything goes muddy as fuck when he plays more than one string. How can they fuck the sound up that bad?
Just picked up a Roland JC-120 this weekend, but it has a few issues, biggest one being that channel 1 of the amp does not seem to work at all. Might there be any easy solutions for this? I'm also having trouble dating it. SN is
416474 which I think dates it to 1984? I'd also appreciate if anyone could help me with that.
>>61844853
I dislike most acoustic guitars but these are mostly okay I've played a few and they were all pretty nice
Set up a basic recording rig over the weekend, just an SM57 through a Focusrite 2i2 interface. Sounds pretty damn good, even with no mixing / mastering, just raw tracks.

>>61844955
Someone tried to convince me that this atrocity would be better than the Variax. Not that the Variax is some transcendental, revolutionary thing, but at least it doesn't sound like utter trash. Also can the Starstream even do alternate tunings like the Variax can?

Tips for starting out playing shows?

>>61845853
>what to expect
youre gonna sound bad and play several wrong notes, its okay, just have fun
>>61845076
damn that looks cozy
sounds p good too
could you demo the sounds you get off that tele?
>>61845853
It depends on where you're at. If you're in a small town where kids have nothing to do and there's no scene, then make the shows happen. Book somewhere willing to host, book a decent band that will fly by on tour, and plug the show to everyone.
If your city has a happening scene already, just land an opening spot on some show. Most scenes will have regulars who are probably in bands that play all the time. To keep a scene alive they need to bring in new bands (who will bring new people along). Plus you normally don't want your band to go stale opening every week. i
Expect your strings to break, your cables to not work or to pick up more radio than guitar. So be prepared to swap. Expect to not be able to hear whichever member of the band you normally guide off of or yourself. If there's a soundguy, he'll mostly likely just want to screw everything up. Your shows can be a blast or straight up kick your dick in the dirt. If you believe in what you're playing it won't matter either way. Trial by fire is the best way to find out if you really do.

Has anyone gotten hands on this thing since they started making them again?

Japs mite b better, their hardware is of steel folded a thousand times.
Seriously, people have hyped them for reasons I don't know. Might be weabooery.

>Back in the USA, in an effort to rediscover what had made Fender's reputation, the company went to vintage dealers and took measurements from pre-CBS production instruments. They even spent $5600 on buying a '57 Precision bass, '60 Jazz bass and a '61 Strat. Both the US factory at Fullerton and Fender Japan set about producing vintage reissues- in fact the Japanese were the first to succeed and the superb quality of their instruments resulted in the famous quote by Dan Smith, Director of Marketing, Electric Guitars at the time :"Everybody came up to inspect them and the guys almost cried, because the Japanese product was so good - it was what we had been having a hell of a time trying to do."

I never figured the brand on this bass. Sounds good though
>>61847955
Looks like a fender with a tele style neck
How common are neck pocket cracks on Fender strats?
>>61847444
Most Mexican strats have 21 frets don't they?
I would rather have 22.
>>61848049
not common unless you mean finish cracks on old ones.
I'm looking to buy a used tube amp and I keep coming across Peavy VK112s and 212s. The price on them seems too good to be true, anyone here have one?
>>61848049
Pretty common on fender guitars. Its usually only the paint that cracks
>>61844853
Seagulls are the real deal, esp the non-cutaway ones.
If I was in the market for one I'd look at them first. IMO, nothing else in their price range comes close

Yeah the pickups are crap, electronics are shit, neck is sticky on the back, but you can fix that with some sanding.
I just wish all guitar companies would go satin on their neck. Is it expensive to do so? I mean satin is so much more smooth for playing.

Jap Fenders are made to a spec by completely insane maniacs who will apologize profusely and perhaps commit suicide if they feel they've let their supervisors down.

There are two trim levels to Gibson now, HP and T.
T is short for Traditional, with ordinary tuners, bridge and regular nut.
HP stands for High Performance, with the infamous 2015 features-robo tuners, headstock-mounted tuner, titanium saddles in the bridge and the "zero fret" nut.
Also of note is that the T models are about $350 cheaper than the same HP model.

>babby's first "weird sound things"
What the fuck are you talking about? EHX's B9/C9 sound infinitely better than the Organizer, and the POG/HOG are almost unmatched. The only thing EQD does better I guess is the Bit commander? And that's because EHX doesn't do a lot of bitcrushy types of things.
Not saying EQD is bad, but jesus christ nigga

i spent a long time looking for the right reverb and i am super glad i found this. compared it to my friends blue sky when we swapped for a weekend and imo the context dominates. it's also less than half the price.
>>61844853
I bought a seagull maritime last year and love it. For the price, you can't beat it. It feels and sounds like a Taylor or Martin twice its price imo.
>>61850513
they make what is objectively the best hall reverb, the ring thing is a ring mod, a sideband mod, and a pitch shifter. great for chorus. can do tremolo, but it sounds like its modulation, not whatever the volume thing is that tremolo does. and the fuzz is goat

The issue with VKs is they have a VK one dimensional sound. If you're playing mostly metallic material then they're fitting. I can't comment on the clean channel.

the EHXtortion has got me covered on that, I can push a signal with my other (not pictured) Sludgemaker pedal to get a really chunky lead tone.
>ditch the multi
You know you're right. I basically only use it for octaving effects anyways, so I guess next on my list is a Pitchfork or a Whammy.
I play Sludge and stoner a LOT as well as plenty of alternative rock and stuff like that. In other words, I play primarily stoner/sludge but like to play anything that is fun.
>>61851370
>The organizer is supposed to have a weird warbly sorta pipe-ish sound, not like a hammond or like a big octaver.
So basically just like a POG or Micro POG with a chorus. Which also sounds better than the Organizer, and cleaner.

>nah it's a hot rod deluxe iii
That's what I meant. as soon as I finished typing that I immediately remembered what I originally meant. My friend has one of those, sounds great.

>My friend has one of those, sounds great.
awesome, i'll definitely be back here to talk about how it sounds
>>61851452
i dunno brhu i dont really into sludge or stoner or alt. i think delay is essential. so many things you can do with it. you should get a clean boost. especuialy if youre using t00bs. dont spend a lot of money. the zvex one consists or like $10 of materials. Zachary can blow himself.
>>61851541
>the zvex one consists or like $10 of materials. Zachary can blow himself.
This is true, but I also really liked it. I do know buying the parts individually is better and so is building it yourself but...
...Man I don't have an excuse rip, but I'm not dissatisfied with it, so I'm not too angry.
I'll grab a clean boost at some point, but I'm not using a tube amp. The EHXtrotion act's like one though, so it'll be a bit further down on my list after a whammy and maybe an Orange Micro/Tiny terror

Right is my prized 2007 Charvel San Dimas. Made in 'Merica. Best neck of any guitar ever made. Perfect in almost every way. Just wish it had a hardtail bridge.
I also have an SX fretless bass that I fucked up with a bad epoxy job. I don't have the patience to fix it atm, but it can be salvaged.

after an initial investment of like a couple hundred dollars you can definitely produce your own efx for like no money. "boutique" prices are out of control. especually the fucking $200
fuzz pedal that consists of like $12 of shit.
diy efx is a lot lot lot easier than than people seem to think
>>61851528
Yeah, from what I've seen that's a good price. The 410 is a lot more than I need, but besides being loud as fuck it had all the features I wanted and was right in my price range.
>>61851762
Questions:
Do you like the Carvin kit? how much was it? How would you rate the pickups? also about the San Dimas, what's the Tape for? Does it affect your sound much?

I'd really like to start making my own to be honest, like some different types of fuzzes and basically being able to make the ideal fuzz for me. I already have a soldering iron, what else would you recommend? I'm pretty decent at soldering.
>>61851863
The Carvin kit was $530 shipped. I love it. It sounds like a really nice strat with hot, noiseless pickups and it played like a dream right out of the box. Cheaper than some Mexican fenders
The tape was to protect my pickups from metal dust when I was polishing the frets. I kept it on because it keeps the high E from snagging under the neck pickup. It doesn't affect the tone at all.

narrower tips make this shit so much easier. higher wattage too. i use a 40 W iron. i use a dremel to do everything with the stripboard i use. you can get a variable speed dremel for like $50 max when there's a sale. etching tips are great for cleaning flux off your circuit board. i use a uni-bit for all the drilling into the enclosures. smaller bits for pilot holes. cordless drill for this stuff. the more control over the tortque you have the better. you can get like a 20 V max drill/driver for like $150 max i wanna say. 12 V for like a hundred on sale, if not less.
other stuff i can think of off the top of my head incluides an exacto knife, brass wire brush (the toothbrush looking kind), several different pauirs of pliers, wire stripper(s), multimeter, helping hands, magnifying g lass, 6 '' steel ruler for measuring enclosures, sharpies, pencils, needle files, electrical tape, solder braid, scouring pad for buffing stripboard before soldering, uhhhhh

based on the mean age on trhis website i bet i am several years older than that other guy and have had the time to explore several instruments and DAW and whatever. i taught myself piano when i decided to g et ione in order to teach myself music theory. took a nonmajors intro music theory class. i did a bunch orf shit. i wasnt bragging about it like an autist try-hard or possible someone lonesome.
FURTHERMORE,
this thread has a stated topic and the bullshit useless shitpost did not have anything to do with the sub ject of this thread.

Fuck that, just make a cheap guitar with good tracking and a MIDI output already.

tweezers, esopecially the ones that you squeeze to open. mini vise, c clamps, bar clamps, smaller adjustable wrench, adjustable pliers (channel locks but only two posiutions), tiny cable ties, masking tape, pc-7 repaiur epoxy for when you fuck up and needd to move a hole over a little bit, SAFETY GLASSES, and i forget what else. r/diypedals has a sidebar with all the links i consulted when i first got into this in like august.
its fun and rewarding af i think. you need almost zero knowledge of electrifity.

>fucking $200 fuzz pedal that consists of like $12 of shit.
Wait until you see how much the electronics in most $2000+ vintage tube amps cost.
It's something like $80 at full retail, including transformers.
But that said, to think that the human labor involved to put it together should cost nothing is itself ignorant and insulting.

There's one of these on craigslist in my area, I wish I had the money for it

>Wait until you see how much the electronics in most $2000+ vintage tube amps cost.
i seriously did this like a couple weeks ago. my mind was fucking blown. most efx seriously have more going on than like a twin reverb or whatever.

obv these peopl;e are runnings businesses. the markups huge and i for one think its kinda homosexual.
>>61852462
It's pretty tough to pick up good iron for under 80 that isn't recycled. The chassis, speakers, and cab have value. It all adds up. Not that 2k is a fair price, but a quarter to half of that is.

that meta bridge cover literally just come off. its held on by the ends squeezing against the sides of the bridge. it's easier to take on and off than a fucking trem arm.
sorry im kinda dead after having to make the decision on that bassman. its eating me inside.
>>61854344
I'm sure there are amps that sound the same that have padding. Actually, I bet there are -15db pad switch mods you can /diy/.

I don't see a reverb. Check out the digitech Polara. Spacey verb and shimmers.
>>61854879
You're right, I'll check to see if anywhere close by has them. Seems interesting enough
>>61850841
I don't play classical anymore but when I did I used a nail file instead of clipping them. Just for pima though.

Would a dsl15c in half power mode be a good choice for a first valve amp?
Also what bridge is this.
>>61854764
I dunno man. that amp sounded so good on both my ric and my mustang. that was half the appeal.
>>61854869
honestly i considered it, but I would have to have that thing so fucking queit there's no point to having it.

honestly conventions are probably a great niche for paying gigs, this would be a good idea to do as a side project. It'd be pretty cringey but with a stellar keyboard player you could probably get pretty good results. The guy posting is probably just a guitar player which isn't too important.

i just thought maybe he had a legitimate reason but yeah i guess i shouldn't respond
>>61855342
not him but neither SS or tube is better than the other. there are plenty of good SS amps and plenty of amps with tubes in them just for a gimmick. SS is just cheaper to make and thus a lot of them sound bad cuz they are lower end amps.
>>61854983
if marshall is what you dig then sure yeah why not.
only important part is that 1) vacuum tube and 2) low wattage
i would really like to get a 1 watt amplifier. shit would be cash imo.
>>61855759
Eyyy, that practice studio I've been there. Old Skate/punk band I had joined a year ago or practiced there, I was debating getting my own room there so I can crank up the amp and shit on my own time
>>61854983
It looks like a Kahler tremolo, but the actual bar looks different.
I've decided to get my first bass, after playing around with a few I've decided on the jazz bass style.
I'm torn between a Squier one, new, or a used Fender one I found. Both are $250. I know this is a good bargain for a Fender instrument, but is there any real difference between the quality of what must be a lower-tier Fender and a high-tier Squier? I definitely prefer the look of the Squier one, and don't know exactly how well the Fender is set up (plus it has tape on the neck that can't be removed, looks terrible).
How much of Fender's price is just payment for the brand name?
traded my beloved Sovtek for this today. Needs some love
>>61855887
i found a small room there for 225/month. have drum and guitar/bass in there. orange amp but small shitty bass amp. im ok at drums trying to get better at guitar
>>61855860
hughes & kettner tubemeister has a cool 1 watt setting and sounds good.
I think Matamp still has a few MiniMats left too, get one of those.
>>61856042
Yeah once I get a better job I will definitely be practicing there. How long you been on the skins?
The amp is a 10w tube head my friend made for me and I love it to death

>>61856017
If you can get a fender for the price of a squier than why even ask?
>>61855342
I prefer solid state because they stay sparkling clean at high volumes, they're affordable, and reliable. I'm only speaking for my vintage Acoustic stuff, though. I have a 134 and a G60. Both great amps.
>>61856055
thanks for the suggestion this looks rad
>>61856152
My tone wouldn't be the same if I didn't cut myself on the edge everyday :^)
>>61856017
Get the Fender and replace the neck if you can afford it.
>>61856194
old acoustic solid states are tight, I have a Sunn Coliseum, one of the nicest solid states I've ever played. Right now, the market's so saturated with different tube options, solid state is only practical for bass.
>>61856017
>>61856354
But why can't the tape be removed?
I can't seem to find this anywhere, or its different in different places.What chords are in a minor 7th scale? Is this right?
I - Min7
II- M7b5
III- Maj7
IV- Min7
V-Min7
VI-Maj7
VII-Dominant 7

Alright, I was just wondering. The lack of information suggests that the Fender is a low model, while the Squier was the best bass of the style that they made. I know their cheap ones are shit but I've heard that the more expensive ones are pretty good, I just didn't know if there was overlap quality-wise between a nice Squier vs cheap Fender
>>61856395
Looks right for Aeolian mode.
>>61856599
Thanks senpai
Dominanth 7th chords sound lame af
>>61856598
The quality will be a little better even with a low-end Fender, but the resale value will be better too.
Is the tape load-bearing? Why can't it be removed? Maybe a tech can do something about it for less than replacing the whole neck.
>>61856633
I don't know exactly, I emailed the guy about it. Looks like it's just been there for a while and is encrusted on or something
>>61856205
Check out the tubemeister for sure. I have one and it's amazing.
>>61856621
>lame
I'm no jazz guy but I am working through some lines that always have minor ii-v-i as Gmin7b5 C7b9 Fmin7 (F min example).
>>61857091
Maybe its just how it sounds in this progression I was doing, C#Min7, B7, F#Min7,G# Min7. Sounds good in just regular non 7th chords to me, but eh like this
Bass-noob from earlier here
What's the cheapest bass amp I can get that sounds decent? I'm not going to be playing any shows, I just need something that can deliver a respectable and bassy sound.

You can dress up however you want. The dude from Slime Girls does and he plays some K-On tunes in addition to originals.

How so? I'd say the most overrated guitar of all time is the Les Paul. You don't see average people talking about how "incredible" the JEM is

>Dean, ESP, Jackson, Schecter and BC Rich make a killing from selling edgy guitars to edgelords
The greatest meme of all time other than handpicked exotic tonewoods, tremolo blocks, boutique pickups, true bypass, gold plated cables and 7/8/9 string guitars
>>61857768
HSH Super Strats will never not be overrated
>>61857777
checked. but Jackson's best guitars are the Soloist
>>61856017
usually the issue with squire basses are the necks. If it looks good and is straight, you can get the fender pickups and put them in for a very similar sounding/feeling bass.
You have to keep the neck in good shape though
>>61857777
while good buffers are nice if you have a big pedalboard true bypass still has its place. 7 string string guitars work well for solo arraignments of pieces provided the player is good.

>>61857994
>I don't like it so they're not good!
>>61857923
The 7th string is mostly for different chord positions up the neck. Sure I can still do a Bsus2 at the 7th fret E string but the Low B can come in handy so I don't have to slide all the way down the fucking guitar neck each time, along with adding in an extra 5 notes to use in the lower register that isn't always for CHUG CHUG shit.
I have a feeling I'm being trolled/baited.
>>61858157
you just described why its good for solo and not needed in a band situation. good job
>>61858175
I'm confused, did you forget that the lower string has a completely different sound to it than another string because of the gauge, not to mention different chord voicings available, as well as being able to play in some keys at a lower register? I assume you did because you know a whole lot about this right?
