So do I.
hue.
Name a better modern blues player than Eric Gales
Pro tip: You can't
>>63767066
start on any note then play other notes and if they sound good one after the other then find a third note and so on until you discover your own scale. Then work on playing it faster and faster and finally try improvising within it. Then start the process over again for a different scale.

Reposting because I'm blind
Picked up a dirty, rusty 2007 Bullet for a first guitar, and I am looking through basic mods and deep-cleaning while I wait for an amp.
two questions:
-Can I find new pickguard screws by just taking one to a hardware store, or are they some proprietary shit?
-If shielding a strat's cavity and pickguard, and adding a direct ground instead of looping haphazardly between components reduces noise and increases performance noticeably, why doesn't Fender/Squier spend the extra few dollars per guitar on doing it from the factory? Is it not as good as it sounds? Is "the strat sound" unshielded and noisy?
>>63767457
+ditto, super oct, pog, thd, ocean paul
-plywood floor, cable organization
>>63767065
Seems like it'd be hard to maintain. Intonation, truss rod adjustments, etc.
What kind of rig so you run it through? String brand?
This is my current recording/apartment setup for my 7-string/etc.
You guys
What is a decent enough bass practice amp? My friend just gave me his old jazz Squier. Apparently after all these years he realized he hates the bass guitar. Bass equipment is an unknown to me. What brands should I look for? I just want something small so I can noodle around in my apartment.
>>63767600
I take exception to the plywood floor minus - it's shitty old worn-out wool carpet!
>>63767655
Roland cubes are nigh indestructible, so you are usually fine getting second hand.
>>63767061
Daily reminder that jazzmasters and jaguars are fucking garbage instruments.
>>63767633
Yeah, it is. It's got 2 truss rods, so that's kind of a bitch. The 2 lower strings can't really intonate perfectly but it's fine because they're so low that you can't really hear them anyway.
I run it through a Marshall MA100H, Hartke HA410 and Gallien Neo 115. >>63767282 is me as well. I use Kalium strings, the highest is a .008 and the lowest is a .124.
>>63767108

What about the fender performer?
>>63767589
>proprietary screws
Yeah there are Fender(tm) screws. You can get a bag of them on ebay for not too much. I think they're just zinc or stainless 1/2 inch wood screws. Ace hardware probably has your hookup.
>shielded cavity/guard
I'm indifferent to ground loops and haphazard ground wiring. See star-ground if you want to be refined about everything. Guitar's signal is so high impedance, that loops won't effect each other.
Fender shields their guard. They don't shield their bodies and yes this makes the guitars noisier.
>>63767108
>>63767787
This is what Marty Friedman does/did too.
>>63767777
I was using Circle K strings (I guess he's Kallium now?) Due to the wide range of sets he offered.

Daily reminder that I hate you all, except >>63767066
he seems like a good bloke
>>63767883
Yeah, I think he got in trouble because Circle K is a chain of convenience stores. Kinda have to get custom strings when you need 10 of them. No one makes a 10 string set as far as I know.

He claims he doesn't know much theory and techniques but he actually does. He knows all the scales.
>>63768151
been learning song after song from The Strokes' discography. the slight-distortion is quite a nice tone
>>63768258
That would be overdrive not distortion.
I suggest a strat or a tele, for nice crunchy overdriven sounds. And a nice tube amp if you have the money.
>>63767369
I think he actually begs for the pedals in exchange for reviews lmao
>>63768384
i'll look into it man, thanks for the recommendation.

>muh tube warmth all over my pretty little face

Explain the difference between distortion and overdrive please and spank you
>>63768475
If you think for some reason there was something wrong with the suggestion, feel free to correct it or make your own
>>63768513
Distortion is overdrive on steroids.
how's the danelectro longhorn/has anyone notable played one?
Assuming the venue has a good PA, think we could get away with a mic'd 1x12 for the guitar, and the bass going DI with a 2x10 for stage volume? Keep in mind this is a metal band with a hard hitting drummer
>>63768136
This is sick. What Marshall is that? I like his lead tones.
My EMG BQS System preamp will be here on Monday :D
>>63768513
It's in the name.
Overdrive drives your sound, and adds a transparent crunch to it.
Distortion literally distorts your signal and gives it an even more crunchy sound, driving it even more.
Listen to differences on YouTube.

I can't get it to be flush and tuned at the same time without the bridge being all the way up.

String tension has to equal spring tension.
If it's pulling up, add a spring or adjust the thing in the back(can't remember what it's called).
Usually if you're using heavier strings, you may need to add a spring
>>63769003
Spring tension always equals string tension m8. If it didn't, the bridge wouldn't be stationary
Lrn2physics
>>63769003
>>63769051

Not a joint thing, but I played my first show last week since I had a brain hemorrhage last year. Found out I have pretty bad stage fright now for some reason. Got through it though.
>>63767883
Circle K rebranded? Those strings are fantastic. I only stopped using them because postage was obscene for me.
>>63768713
Adjust the spring claw in the cavity at the back.
>>63769003
You usually just need to screw the claw in more. You very rarely need to add more springs.
On a side note, did some noodling yesterday and came up with something I kind of dig.

anon, if you can make good sounding music in the genre you like, then you are already good enough.
That's why metal and shredfags are never happy, they always think how it sounds shit, maybe if they could play faster it would sound good, but by definition it will always sound shit.
Don't aspire to be as good as other guitarists, aspire to be as good as other musicians
>>63773032

>>63773050
I genuinely agree. His prowess to combine advanced techniques and manipulate them to his ends is like nothing I've ever seen. I don't understand how someone with his musical vocabulary hasn't tapped into how dull his original work can be.
>>63773402
This. My own anecdotal evidence. I was awhile ago into tech metal, but had no business trying to imitate it. The lead tricks were beyond my means even after months of practice they showed nearly zero signs of improving. Some of the bands I was in were unintentional jokes.
I eventually settled into a rhythm role trying to focus on chords and keeping things interesting and very simple. Even my technical abilities have come up secondary to just trying to write and understand good music.
Where do you go after you learn to play a bunch of songs? Should I learn scales and other music theory memes? I also have a multi effect pedal coming in that I can't wait to play around with

Digitech Polara. Such a tasty reverb.

What about them low notes though?

How does this look?

looks overpriced
>>63774002
It's less than 1000 new with a soft case.

What rickenbacker do you have
Looking to buy this piece of shit, any chance it will end in a housefire? Dude says it's from the '20s.

I highly doubt it's that old. Also,

>20s
The first guitar amplifiers were made in the 30s.
If you suddenly get your hands on $2000 what you buy with it?
>>63774834
strat and an mxr micro pedal
i would cum on them
>>63774810
>>63774369
I know that the approximation is off, but it still has a nice tone to it.
>>63774810
Thanks for that Captain Obvious.
It could have been components from the 20s cobbled together in some makeshift housing. Amplifiers existed before guitar amplifiers you know.
>>63774882
>nice tone
I guess that's subjective but no, no it doesn't.
>>63774834
AC30 and a used tele
hows does /gg/ feel about mim fenders
>>63774987
I was a skeptic for years but after lurking on /gg/ for a week now I consider getting a 4 string Fender bass.
Any recs? I would mainly use it for rock and pop music.
>>63774951
AC30's sound crap. Have fun sounding dull and generic.
hi guys, total pleb here, would appreciate some help
recently started playing electric guitar and would like to make some recordings w/ laptop. i ordered a super cheap guitar / usb interface cable but recently found out that some people that plugged their guitars directly into computers destroyed their soundcards. do i need a preamp? (guitar into preamp into garageband) i've seen a few in pedal form that aren't too expensive, but i pretty much have no idea what i'm doing and would love some advice lol
>>63774834
Vdrums, I took up the guitar so I had something to play at uni.
Just landed a huge dent on my PRS Custom 24.
Anyone got the suicide hotline number?
>>63774834
Jazzmaster and Twin Reverb
>>63774197
Ask the seller what tubes are in it. If it's things like EL34, 6L6, EL84 then you know it wasn't made in the 1920s because those tubes weren't around then.
If it was made in the 20s then the chances are you can't get replacement tubes for it any more.
As it's a large amp I'd guess it has a push-pull output stage, again that means it's not from the 20s as they would all be low powered single ended amps back then.
It's not from the 1920s. Guy's full of shit.

They'll just tell you to do it m8.

Take it back to the dentist you bought it from, ask him to do some whitening and bridge work on it
>>63774369
>>63774810
>>63775775
Maybe it's from the 2020s, spoopy.
>>63775734
>PRS
You had it coming
>>63775734
if you're stupid enough to buy a pretty guitar instead of one you can throw around then you deserve to have it shit up and wrecked
tl;dr - haha you lost a stack of resale value there
>>63775795
>>63775815
But it's SO gorgeous..
>>63775116
You are dumb and have bad opinions.
>>63775116
I bet your guitar has skulls carved into the top
>>63774834
Pic related, Mesa 2x12, a set of pickups and a few pedals probably.
>>63775880
with LED lights in the eyes
and it's called a ROKWARRIOR PROFESSIONAL SERIES ZX CUSTOM or some shit
and it cost $70 tops
>>63775775
Why would you want a 100 year old amp, anyway?
>>63775960
but dude it has emgs
>>63775972
For those delicious buzzing dried-out filter caps, the leaky blocking caps and the melted insulation on the transformer that combine to make a shit-sounding death trap of an amplifier.
Plus very old amps don't have mains isolation transformers, they have a rectifier connected directly to the AC mains supply, a great way to electrocute yourself.
>>63775960
are there any guitars with the word professional in the model name that are actually used by professionals?
>>63775997
It probably wasn't worth using in the 20s, either. Everyone just used acoustic instruments back then.
So I have this basswood Ibanez RG550 that I really want to repaint to transparent honeyburst, and this luthier is charging me 450+ for the job, including setup. He's supposed to be the best guy in town.
Is this worth it? I can't do it myself because of lack of space, I live in a small apartment.
>>63776145
>refinishing an RG550/655
How boring
That aside, it's not surprising, refinishing a guitar takes a lot of time.
>>63775997
It's called tone-fying yourself dad ! Not electrocutation ! And it's vintage !
>>63775734
Free relicing
>>63776145
That sounds pretty reasonable to me. Refinishing isn't easy.
Also
>Refinishing an RG550 into anything other than the neon colours offered at the time
>>63776164
>boring
I know it's been done before, but I really love this axe. Is satin finish cheaper too? Maybe I might go for a transparent white satin finish
>>63776170
I don't know how reliced Ibanez RG looks like, got any pics?
>>63776236
I want to make my RG look "classic", like a Fender Strat. I could copy the JEM design, but I don't want to be a Vai poser.

>I want to make my RG look "classic", like a Fender Strat. I could copy the JEM design, but I don't want to be a Vai poser.
Transparent finishes don't tend to look good on RG550s. The Basswood they were using at the time isn't even slightly nice to look at.
>>63776251
Just get a white pickguard and pickup cover, basswood isn't interesting at all to look at.
>>63776289
>>63776312
Are basswood really that bad looking? I just want it to be semi transparent, enough to make out the grains of wood. I'm not expecting PRS or Gibson kind of finish.
>>63776251
Get a picture of your cat airbrushed onto that fucker.
>>63776376
For $450, you're going to be disappointed.
>>63776405
Wow that's.. Arghhh. You think it might end up like pic related?
>>63776443
You'd be lucky if it even looked that good.
>>63774189
I think this is NZbro, so 4003W
>>63769126
The new fender Bassbreaker is a much cheaper equivalent/alternative

that thing is so much fun
I asked this before, no one had anything useful to say, who makes good high output humbuckers to fit a Jazzmaster?
>>63776835
bareknucke, kloppmann
>>63776835
Why didn't you just buy an ESP you meme loving fuck?
>>63776901
too generic looking
>>63776835
>high output humbuckers to fit a Jazzmaster
Why would you ever do that, that defeats the whole point of the jazzmaster
>have a guitar for 7 years
>pick it up once or twice a year and look up tutorials (justinguitar)
>otherwise just collecting dust
what do family?
>>63776935
get a teacher who makes you do stuff and gets you a practice routine
if you can't get off your ass yourself then that really works wonders
