I think it's just practising A LOT.
what's better at polyphonic pitch shitfting - Whammy V or EHX Pitch Fork?
I am currently using a Whammy V, and get kinda annoyed with the glitchiness of arpeggiating the high harmonized chords. It Pitch Fork any better?
>>63703432
Don't you have a music shop near you to try it out? Or atleast some sort of online shop with free shipping return policy?
>>63703432
EHX POG
>>63703517
>EHX POG
i mean actual harmonies, not just octaves
>>63703310
I'd hate you too if you asked me to play Joy Division
>>63703464
i am trying to arrange something like this, just figured to ask people for their experiences as well
>>63703427
Well fuck, there goes my day
>>63703536
Why? It looks fun to play.
You can't string a 12 string with only 6 strings, right?
>>63703644
sure you can
>>63703667
I heard it fucks up the tension of the neck.
>>63703608
>Well fuck, there goes my day

I'll fuck up the tension of your neck...
But no really, don't do that
>>63703608
>it looks fun to play
Playing a generic kick-snare-kick-snare beat is anything but fun. Chugging on a root note is not fun either. And the guitarists get it worst. Literally just play the same power chord chord progression and boom you have every Joy Division song ever.
You want him not to hate you? Play something less fucking boring

Any fun songs for a guy with a low voice? I could prob get us a good singer but they're just playing for fun
>>63703834
Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash not fun per se, but some good songs.
Also Elvis songs.
>>63703834
Anything by Swans honestly
For some reason Swans are my favorite band and Swans were influenced by JD but I fucking hate JD
>video about comparing 25.5" against 27" in B standard
>dude 25.5" sounds tighter
Have some people got absolutely no sense of what sounds good and what doesn't ?
>>63703834
Leadbelly. You don't even need to be able to sing.
Also, Mark Lanegan.
>>63703834
Mother by Danzig
>>63703877
I think only Screenshot is playable from Swans without going fully crazy
>>63703996
>>63703983
Gonna check these ones out thanks
>>63704019
Have you heard anything by them other than their post-revival stuff? Anything off of White Light, Love of Life, Annihilator and some of the songs on Soundtracks are all workable

Anyone have experience with the Nebula from Noisemaker? It seems pretty good.
just bought one of these, it was buy this or a fender pb62,
has anyone else played a bass six before?
>>63703401
I feel like on every pedal board, there's always at least one boss pedal.
>>63703834
>Any fun songs for a guy with a low voice?
The matador by The white buffalo
>>63704461
Bass VI seem weird, as much as I'd love an 8 string, they seem a bit gimmicky since they don't have as much high notes.
I'd rather get my hands on the Ibanez one if I really wanted one though, the SRC, it has humbuckers so I feel like it would be better suited for me.
>>63704492
They're easy to find for the most part, do their job well and they made a wide variety of them, from jangly chorus to the crushing HM-2
>>63704492
>implying I can afford Boss pedals
>>63704492
Nope, but I'm planning on getting a HM-2 some day.
>>63704628
I bet you could if you weren't buying so many gimmicky pedals
>>63704906
Probably but where's the fun in that?
>>63704923
Well in that case, your pedal board needs pic related for maximum FUN.
>>63704906
Where are the gimmicky pedals? Just wondering
>>63705045
Please don't tell me that's a vocaloid pedal
>>63705045
Let's not go overboard anon. There is such a thing as too much fun.
>>63705066
Turn it to "scat" and everything sounds REALLY shit as opposed to just shit.
>>63705093
Damn does scat function really does eat shit
:)
>>63704461
this is what youll look like playing that
but no seriously good on you, im always too worried to buy one, post in /gg/ when it arrives because i wanna know how it sounds and shit
>>63705066
The behringer T/P and the digitech synth wah are not something you'd want to use outside of bedroom practice. But, they're both dirt cheap so it's not a waste of money anyways.
>>63705218
>behringer
Well no shit why the fuck would I want to use Behringer
>>63705218
>>63705229
In my defence, the Behringer was £6 on eBay.
What's your issue with the Synth Wah? It's like you hate wild, uncontrollable totally out of context noise.
>>63705301
Honestly if I want wild uncontrolable out of context noise I pair my fuzz probe with my ring modulator. Guranteed to empty rooms in seconds
>>63705334
Touché.
I've hung onto the Synth Wah because sometimes I get bored of pentatonic noodling and just want to make robot fart noises.
>>63705217
kek
>>63703401
Why is there no fender bass vi love on here, on a board full of autistic try hard hipsters you sure do like to be conventional
>>63705229
Berhinger pedal are good if you don't want to commit on a pedal you're not sure to use in the long run. Some of them are like $20.
>>63705301
The digitech sounds very cheap with a guitar (sound good with a bass though). Plus I prefer foot controlled wahs.
>>63705380
>Why is there no fender bass vi love on here
I suspect not much people actually own, tried or even know about the Fender bass VI.
I ordered this. How did I do?
>>63705376
I prefer making dangerously loud atonal screeching sounds at painfully high pitches
>>63705380
/gg/ is tryhard hipster, but they're by no mean innovative, look at all these shoegaze offset playing faggots.

If you really want something close to that, Schecter has the hellcat, which is pretty close to that and easier to find as left handed.
>>63706115
Flip the saddle and the pickups, restring the guitar. Done
Are Epiphone Les Paul Plus Top Pro worth it? thinking of getting one.
>>63706224
And make the whole ergonomics useless by the way.
>>63706304
Ergonomics shmergonomics. Who cares? Play your guitar
Does anyone know of a guitarist/band who achieve(s) a similar sound as the examples below (feedback laden, whammy/bend happy, fuzzy, noise, big rises)? I'm looking for the guys who do this sound best, but it's important that they have good musical ideas and structure, which is where Becuz (where I like the sound achieved) fails. The Great Alligator achieves a lot of what I'm looking for (good focus on building), but it can be too simplistic in its musical ideas and development.

I was looking at the Ultra VI too, I might get one eventually but I still think Bass VI's are sexier
>>63706224
Flipped guitars are pretty uncomfortable IMO especially with the offset shape. I saw a warmoth copy someone made on ebay but the bidding got up to $1000+ so I didn't think it was worth it.
>>63706445
Cut the horn off. Problem solved.
>>63706443
What's the fucking question?
>>63706462
I'd probably fuck it up somehow lmao I just spent a bit on a jazzmaster so I probably won't get anything new for a while anyway :^[
>>63706486
Does anyone know of a guitarist/band who achieve a similar sound to the examples I provided.
Even the name of the style would be fine. I'm just having trouble trying to find guys with that type of sound.
>>63706514
Pics? I'm saving up for a strat currently. I need a single coil guitar that isn't an utter POS. I'm trying to decide between mim/mia/mij atm. Tough choices
So my band went to an open mic again and we actually played this time. Just covers. A couple of them went over really well.
The place wants to book us a paid gig, but I don't really know if we could play a full set.
>>63706577
Yeee I still have to solder everything but here it is
>>63706238
Ya they're ok
>>63706601
Stop being a little bitch and go pro.They're asking you to.
How do you guys record your tasty licks? Is this a good software for that?
>>63706708
I'm very hihg right now
>>63706708
Get an interface and a DAW, and a guitar mic like an SM57 if you specifically want your amp's tone.
Running directly into your PC's sound card is a bad idea, it adds latency and makes the sound meh, I do it because I have no other option.
You can also just write them down in guitarpro or tuxguitar, or even on paper.
>>63706767
Audio interfaces are cheap these days. You have no excuse to record like that
>>63706238
no. you can get the top of the line agile for that price.
>>63706810
They are, but I don't have any spare money right now since I just bought an amp, it's definitely on my list though.
Plus, if I want to actually record something seriously, I can get to a bassist friend's house, it's more for fooling around and working on my tempo.
Do you sometimes contemplate about life during a gig?

>>63707015
>doesn't enjoy crotch
>>63706885
One time I saw a band that looked exactly like this. They had a generic graphic name, an illegible logo, corpse paint, gritty look, the works. They made it look like they were going to play some trve kvlt black metal or grindcore or something, but they actually played an hour of very bubbly, friendly jangle pop. Like, Tokyo Police Club (Champ-era) type catchy stuff. They were singing about girls and covering Kimbra and Foster the People. Lots of people got so fucking mad and left in droves. The ones who stayed threw bottles and shit at them. Lots of fun, would see them again.
>>63707015

please refrain from saying music = life
Though I gotta say, nowadays that is the only recreational activity I do. Gave up video games a while ago. I dunno details about it but addiction runs in the family really badly. Took me a long time to quit bingeing on video games. I think it's a little easier to keep music in check although it still comes back to bite me sometimes. I'm not a very responsible person.
>>63707314
I will not.
>>63707314
Well if you are a touring musician or a luthier, music is pretty much your life.
I know that as well for videogames, by the way, playing guitar cut drastically the amount of videogames I play.
>>63703401
I have a weird issue, could someone help me? I replaced the input jack on my bass, the old one literally fell apart. I only had a stereo jack lying around, but no big deal I soldered it on correctly and everything worked. Screwed the jack into the pickguard, put everything together, and suddenly I get an insane amount of humming. Unscrew everything, test it again, it suddenly works without a problem. I found out that, when I screw the input jack in too tightly it starts humming. What could be the problem here?
>>63707554
A piece of uninsulated cable touches the metal input jack cover once you put it in?
>>63707554
The ground wire is probably poorly soldered. Could also be that screwing it in too tight is somehow causing the metal to bend away from the proper position. Make sure you try another cable.
>>63707588
No, I can have the input jack and the pickguard literally outside of the bass, I keep screwing in the input jack bit by bit and at some point it just starts humming.
>>63707611
On the input jack? It's soldered on just fine. Tried different cables already. It literally happens when I screw in the jack too tightly, could the jack itself be bending/making wierd contact with itself in some way?
>>63707554
Ground solder is probably touching your jackplate anon
>>63707670
can you post a pic of the jack and the cavity it screws into?
>>63707674
There is no plate, the jack is screwed into the pickguard directly and touches the ground foil there (which it is supposed to do). I tried touching the foil with the jack outside, no humming. Screw it in, no humming, screw it in a bit tighter, suddenly it humms like crazy.
>>63707718
I'm not at home right now, but it's like pic related. And it has to have something to do with the input jack, as I said it works all the time, even when screwed in, just when I screw it in extra tight it suddenly humms like crazy .
>>63703813
she plays that so much harder than it has to be holy shit
>>63707780
When you get home post a pic of yours. Bit tough to say just based on the design. Could the jack be twisting when you screw it in? Is thr jack only connected to ground by the foil, or is there also a wire? One guess is that the foil contact is getting wrinkled or something when you screw it in too tight. Maybe the contact between a potentiometer and the foil is being lost as well. Seeing your cavity will help a bunch. When you get home, we'll still be here.
>>63707780
I've never seen that kind of setup. Usually the ground on the input jack is wired directly to the pups. But in your case it's supposed to go trough jack then foil then pups?
>>63706238
Absolutely
Epiphone has great qc
I've played every Gibby & Epi Les paul at a GC once, and while there were a few great Gibsons, there were some shitty ones too. But all but one or 2 Epi's were just as good.
I ended up buying a Epi Standard. It was magical. I could've afforded a way more expensive guitar but this one was the one.
>>63703724
shut up you fuckin knob
What's the nastiest sounding distortion that /gg/ has ever heard?
>>63708493
Nasty as in good, or nasty as in inaudible garbage ?
Because the HM-2 is probably the best distortion pedal on its own, or otherwise Meshuggah's tone live, it just crushes you and keep on doing it.
Or just a regular 6505/5150 with an OD in front (or the MXR 5150 pedal but I haven't tried it personally), it's stupid, but it works great.
Shittiest ? Probably one of those cheap Behringer/Digitech 20$ distortion pedals. There's plenty of them.
>>63706897
NZBRO i thought you were dead
>>63708493
Depends on what you mean with nastiest.
>>63708724
>>63708745
Nastiest in the good disgusting way, a HM-2 would be ideal but they're a pain in the ass to get here so I'm looking for something that's currently being made.
>>63703401
Wait, Les Claypool plays a 36'' 4-string? Why? Super light gauge strings without losing tension or what?
>>63708770
reverb/ebay if you don't mind paying extra, or otherwise look into local pedal builders if there are any.
>>63708797
Les's tone is really fat, so maybe it's a matter of getting the low, gritty fundamental ?
>>63708861
>Les's tone is really fat
He also uses like 6 different basses regularly. I knew that his 6-string fretless is 36'', but his "old" main bass was actually 32'', and his new main bass is now 36'' even though it's just a 4-string. Maybe he just got so used to the scale length? I have no clue, would be interesting to know what string gauge he uses on it though.
Is this thread dead?
>>63710034
Of course not
My bass's open E-string is buzzing. I'm pretty sure it's at the first fret. Is it a neck or string height thing?
the low e string buzzes horribly on my classical, but stops if i press down on the bridge. is this something i can fix myself or should i bring it to shop?
are B-52 cabs any good? A guy is offering me a 4x12 AT-412A for 100 bucks but the tolex is all fucked up.
Lucky my uncle runs an upholstery shop and has experience with tolex but yeah is it a good cab in general?
Anyone here knows where I can find a download link for Kitharologus? Been looking for it on Google but can't find it.
>>63710198
Is it only the open string ? If so that may be the the nut that's too low, try putting some paper under the string, it's a dumb and ugly trick but it's free.
>>63710288
To me that sounds like the bridge saddle isn't held down correctly. But I don't know acoustic/classicals as well

Dude, a lot of people here were worried about you.
Anonymous people over the internet actually give a fuck about your existence, you should feel a bit better. That means you are an alright guy.

Is that that middle-aged japanese man who cross dresses?

Think of it as a spirit quest. A voyage of self discovery and intense personal evaluation. Or just buy shit and plug it in.
Your choice.

Had a good time without hearing that song though.
Brings back nostalgic memories when I still watched anime.
i'm looking to get a fuzz pedal with a lot of versatility in sound, and can get me a really metallic, industrial clangy tone too. i'm considering a zvex mastrotron. any recs, friends?
>>63706897
Nice mustang, I love that colour after seeing it in Beck. What other guitars you got man?
>>63705446
Can't go wrong with a Jazz bass (or copy thereof)

Had to reupload pic because it was too large, forgot to comment.
Made an extra room into a makeshift studio/practice room in my house. Need to put hardwood floor down and paint a different color, but it's fun for now.
Also have 2 more amps in a bedroom, Gibson Les Paul, Schecter Blackjack atx solo II, Schecter Damien bass, LTD bass, Charvel (forgot model).

I ain't your friend buddy.
4chan, can you advise some good flamenco compositions to play?
>>63711861
fuzz is normally looser and thicker. A straight ahead distortion pedal is a better look for tight metal chainsaw kind of stuff.
The mastotron does heavy fuzz, velcro like sputter fuzz, and a little sub octave. It does a nice job of allowing you to mix and match the three whether you want a small fuzz boost, full on explosion tone, or your guitar to cricket in and out with hard cuts.
>>63712017
This is what I have, plus a shitty acoustic and a couple of broken amps
>>63711613
I guess, that or people just like my guitars

Jesus christ color me jelly that rick is amazing
What year is the mustang?
>>63703401
Hmm, I'm pretty sure the body and pickup placement stays the same for Sandberg basses, but they offer them in 34'' and 35'' scale variants. Wouldn't that change the characteristics of the pickups a bit? Both are more to the bridge side now relative to the 34'' scale counterpart. Am I over thinking this? I really wanted a 35'' scale for a 5-string.
>>63712908
Someone barfed on your rick D:
>>63712908
MIJ 69 reissue, from like 09 or something from memory. I did almost get an actual 69 fender but then I came across the BECK signature one
>>63712960
Barf washes off more easily. I'd have gladly bought it at the price I got it with barf instead of paint and stickers
>>63712976
Beautiful. I get sad every time I see pic related because I'll never own one like it probably
Ok /gg/
It's time to give my old epiphone g-400 custom some love, what color should I repaint it?
>>63713036
Thanks
good luck with the rick restoration btw, you might get lucky and have some nice wood grain underneath the paint and original finish
>>63713110
High gloss black, or metallic white
>>63713110
vintage whute
>>63713110
Paint dragons all over it, or make it blue/green polka dots or do whatever you want just don't make it black.
>>63712595
Hi i'm glad you're still around
>>63713154
Black has been on my mind together with a very gison-esque heritage cherry, also seafoam green would be cool
>>63713110
like pic related, glossy and thick white stripes running parallel to the neck.

Is there any way to modify a jagmaster and make it a jaguar or jazzmaster?
>>63713246
I will have an old git in my town paint it, does set ups and paint quite well for a reasonable price. >>63713224
That idea is made of epic win, just don't know if it fits this guitar model that well
>>63713298
If that's a strat trem then it'd be hard, you could still route underneath the pickguard for the electronics but if you want the surf trem you're out of luck.
You'd probably be better off trading it in for a vintage modified or something similar. If you just wanna throw the electronics of a jag/jazzmaster in there then you could probably route it yourself but if I were you I'd just get a VM
>>63713298
not without having to refinish shit, or doing some rough stuff, you could remove the strat trem and fill the routed hole with wood and wood epoxy, then use that to mount the new bridge, then rout out the trem slot and electronics paths under the pickguard. would have to refinish the front and back though so effort and money
>>63713398
Thanks
Anyone know what model this ibanez is?
>>63712948
the bridge pickup gets a lot more growly on a longer scale length especially with that pickup type. It also makes having a d tuner a lot more useful if you're already tuned down some
>>63713466
I hadn't really thought much of the effort or the cost. I was more so just wondering but thanks
>>63713511
Interesting, I don't think I mind that but I based my decision on a 34'' scale model... It doesn't impact the neck pickup that much?
It's a 5-string, I don't see why I'd need to downtune anything except for open string stuff.
What's the least I could get away with paying for a respectable classical guitar?
Bare minimum as long as it's not poorly made.
>>63713621
going from a 34 to a 35 doesn't affect the neck pickup as much as the bridge for sure, but it's just 1 more inch worth of added tension and anything you might not like about it can be EQ'd out really
>>63710288
it's a loose brace most likely. Try seeing if pressing down next to the bridge also stops the buzz. If so you probably can't fix it yourself.
>>63713668
Okay, good to know. I just wanted the 35'' scale to tighten up the B-string, completely forgot that it might change the overall sound and nobody has the 35'' versions in stock so I can't compare them either.
>>63713646
I'm no expert but budget brands such as ibanez cort or yamaha should have decent classicals for low prices
>>63713646
Fender has some in the $200s.
>>63707995
How do you personally crown with a crowning file??
I got some recently and I like how they work. I mark the tops with a sharpie and most of the time the file scratches the mark off before the crown is thin enough. This happens even if I brush between every stroke. I'm doing something wrong, halp
>>63712766
Here you go

I was hoping for a new pic but if you can't be arsed putting any effort at all in then I suppose that'll just have to do

Youre the guy who found your rick at a garage sale right?
I remember those painted flowers or stickers or whatever from somewhere....
>>63714733
yessir
>>63714267
go to a smaller file if that happens. Sometimes I give a couple strokes with my medium file and do the bulk with the small. Using a too small file has the risk of denting the sides of the fret, so try to make sure you keep the file level to the radius of the fret as you move it.
What are you using for a leveling beam amigo?
>>63714779
whata find
Did you have to do any refurbishing to get it in playing condition?
>>63710867
what the fuck
>>63714838
I did have to re-solder one of the connections on the jack as it was a bit crackly and still is but aside from a new set of strings and getting the truss set up it works and sounds alright
It's probably close to being the worst rick there is but it feels nice enough to play even with the sailor moon stickers and sounds alright
>>63710860
never heard of the dimension, it sounds pretty cool
I really want a count to five or a triple flashback delay. I don't really need either, they just sound really damn cool
>>63714609
midnight ten in Stockport mah man
>tfw you need to pick up a bass but all you want to do is buy another Jazzmaster even though you love the VMJM you already have
Is this what the beginning feels like
Save me
>>63714888
Is it a stereo version?
>>63706115
the main reason i bought it was so i could play along to pictures of you and cry
>>63715386
yes it has both jacks
>>63714791
Interesting, thanks dude. So, with jumbo, I start with the wide and go down to the medium.
I have a FretGuru beam and the last couple times I've used an 8" radius block. For crowning files I have a wide, medium, and the stewmac tri-square and cant saw. I also have a 1/4 round that I think could work well on narrow to medium wire. Since the wide is so wide, I want to try to file with the side and do one side at a time.
How do you feel about neck jigs?
>>63714562
just see it as a 4 string with extra strings, saying that, i couldnt play one either
>>63705514
it was sort of the grandfather of plus string basses, i mean its sort of a 1 trick pony to some extent but its certainly a cool thing to have
>>63716055
that's why I wanted one too :^) :^(
same with a letter to elise
>>63715349
don't buy shit you don't need. Pretty good policy for life in general actually. Sure, if you take that literally you don't need a single guitar, but really you don't need more than one electric guitar. It can be a good thing for sure but not really a necessity. Limiting your timbres available can help you focus on composition, too. There's plenty of famous guitarists who only owned one or two guitars, and quite a few who did all their song writing on one acoustic guitar.
>>63716107
I plugged in and just stared at it cause I didnt know any chords. The girl thought I was dumbfounded by it and handed me a pick, I dont use picks which heightened my autism. I'll give it another shot next time im there.
>>63716098
Well, all I've got is a Carpenter's level and a 3-in-1 crowning file. I use the crowning file for fret ends. I don't feel a neck jig is necessary because you can more or less get the job done with normal clamps.
>>63716085
Usually stereo 4003s also have binding on the body but since it's painted over, I didn't see it. Also get a hipshot bridge to replace the old one.

Anon your Rickenbacker is the best...
>>63716504
no probs senpai, im a mega cure fan, hence buying the bass vi
>>63716424
That's my next step. There's a little bit of tailpiece lift but it's not too severe
The binding is black and it used to be cream or at least whitish so that's why it's hard to see
>>63716530
It's definitely not the best but it certainly is unique
>>63716545

>tfw no guitarcenterfu to think I'm having an autistm attack over a bass vi
Ok /gg/ I need you help
Me and my buddy are finally gonna start gigging in the near future so we need to get a good backline.
I have my Acoustic 270 and a 410 cab that are pretty ok sounding, and I use both for bass. (pic related although my JM doesnt look like that anymore) My friend doesn't have an amp and he's not very knowledgeable about amps, I keep trying to get him to buy a Marshall cab since we play Dino Jr/Husker Du inspired stuff but his budget is pretty limited (500 bucks), any ideas how we can get a decent guitar backline for that amount of money?
>>63716556
Don't contradict me anon, it is the best.
>>63716556
Nah a bit of tail lift is normal on 4003s. But you'll be lucky if the saddles don't cause you any trouble. The regular binding turns from white to aged pretty fast too .
