Second for you should really get mad and offended that other people pay for expensive gear you consider to be worth a lot less production cost-wise and that the only reason they do is because they're being lied to and it's your personal duty to stop them.

Yeah af55, i'm a poorfag looking to get into jazz. I'm a fan of the non shiny finish.
I don't think disagreeing with what one company or another does is taking issue with the free market. I'm not saying they should be shut down, obviously. I'm just disagreeing with that company.
I think it's bad to be totally apathetic to these things. The government is not gonna shut these companies down, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't change. They exist by throwing a shitload of money into advertising and a tiny amount into r&d. The fact that the pedals themselves are $30 in parts shows how much money is wasted.
Most of my gear got stolen about a month ago and I haven't gotten around to replacing my amp.
My last amp was a USA Blues Jr. that I liked a lot, but I'm interested in seeing what else you guys have been digging.

Get flatwounds for it if you haven't already.
>>64116317
Not really what I'm looking for but thanks I guess.
Are there any flat top acoustic that's got a trapeze? I imagine it would need a higher tailpiece than a normal flat top guitar to avoid fret buzz.
>>64116803
meant to say bridge buzz. It'd need a bigger neck angle too.
>>64116032
Nice guitar. I own one myself. I play it mostly because I love hollow bodies and mostly play jazz. Please change the strings and take the foam off from under the bridge though.
>>64116377
I second this. Also invest in a decent amplifier. You will already achieve the warm and clean tone of an archtop instrument since you own the AF55. I personally like to roll off the bass and low end and put on all the trebles similar to how Grant Green configured it.

thoughts on the V Amp?
I know behringer makes shitty speakers and amplifiers, but what about a digital effects board that probably directly copies well-proven digital effects?
>>64119214
nice, another possessed user! such a great pedal. i forgot how good it sounded. someone on another forum wanted to hear it with the microgranny granular so i recorded a loop onto the microgranny and then glitched it with the Taste and Touch knobs of the possessed. Kept the Smell below serious runaway sounds of its own. i think it turned out really good, towards the end i turned the Sight up to full CW and I think I like the glitches I was getting in that range.

>>64119596
vamp is pretty limited as an all in one. the two analog amp sims they have are pretty good if that's what you're after. I imagine the reverbs and delays are good though. btw the newer behringoo bass amps are good, especially if you consider the used prices compared to other brands.
Beginner here, pretty much the same one you always see here, what are your experiences with MIM Strats? Looking to getting one. Anything I need to be cautious for?
>>64119779
>>64119939
be cautious about spending $600 on a $300 value
>>64120017
What would you recommend for around that price then?
>>64120055
wut, you want to spend the same amount? I dunno man, your getting diminishing returns.
>>64120118
What do you mean? Is there nothing that costs around 600, that is worth around 600?
>>64118912
>>64118915
Do P90s fit into a typical jazzmaster?
>>64120055
go to large store and spend an afternoon playing guitars, a strat is literally the dullest guitar on earth. if you must have a strat body, get an ibanez , kramer or, charvel. at least that way you won't have to suffer the embarrassment of playing a fender that's not a telecaster.
>>64120178
It's more like, for that price and higher it's difficult to justify the price at all if you're like most people and don't want any outstanding features.
>>64120257
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NnmIlPTISY
>>64120257
yeah but not without extra space. You'd want a new pickguard. You might have to cut one. People do make p90s in jassmaster casings though.
>>64120478
>paying over $100 for a pickup
what do you think a pickup is son?
>>64120429
>>64120427
So what do you guys recommend to start trying out? It doesn't have to be a strat, so long as it doesn't look disgusting, and plays well.
Could I make an epiphone dot work for progrock type music? Because I am in love with its look.
>>64121482
depends. can you play progrock type music? type of guitar doesn't matter.
>>64121505
But don't different guitars play differently enough to be better for some things over others?
>>64120790
Don't take everything this guy
>>64120427
says. Superstrats are more geared for modern style playing, think metal, shred, that kind of stuff. Strats are geared towards playing blues, pop, rock, that kinda stuff. It all depends on what you want.
Then again that stereotype is really due to tradition and its possible to play jazz on a superstrat and metal on a Strat.
It's all personal at this point.
MIM strats are pretty good, my main issue with them is they only have 21 frets. I don't need 24 but I find myself using the 22 sometimes.
>>64121638
no. that is a meme.
>>64120790
Imitation strats like SX are generally very easy to play which helps. I got my first guitars at pawn shops which i recommend.
Music shops generally only sell 2 or 3 different brands. At pawn shops you get to see the whole spectrum and decide what feels best.
Look for good tuning pegs, action, fret width, size, weight, just explore.
My $100 Sx is still one of my favorite guitars, but you gotta find out for yourself what suits you.
>>64121638
It's not that different really. It's not downright impossible to play djent on strats, or jazz on RGs. In fact if you are pretty skilled, any guitar should be fine for you.
>>64120790
that's a really big question
>>64121638
how comfortable the neck feels matters much more than the sound of a guitar, strictly speaking.
>>64121866
not to start an argument since you didn't talk about tone, but playing djent on a strat would probably sound like ass unless it was run through some serious DSP in the first place. I'm not sure that your second example is comparable since the neck pickup on an RG through a clean amp for jazz would sound fine / be significantly more appropriate than djent on a strat...
>pic related
my babies
>>64122042
Change the bridge pickup to a single coil sized humbucker, or there are HSS strats.
You could change the neck pickup on an RG to something lower output and vintage voiced too.
>>64122042
>dat Alphonse Mucha
>>64122042
Strats can djent really well. That twangy tone single coils have sounds pretty good with heavy distortion and gating. Coil splitting is pretty popular with djent dudes since they still have the bridge humbucker when they want it, but strats do get used occasionally
https://soundcloud.com/c2aye/split-coil-tone-mixtest
>>64122422
>Coil splitting is pretty popular with djent dudes
For cleans. It's very rare to hear it used for the big sounds.
>>64122714
>It's very rare to hear it used for the big sounds
I don't really listen to a bunch of djent, I just know Tesseract and Sithu Aye use heavy single coil sounds a good amount, and it sounds good. My point being, strats sure can djent
>>64122422
but...
a) coil-splitting doesn't sound identical to an actual single coil.
b) they might sound good for leads, I'm not doubting that, but chugging? chordal sections?
c) I'm not sure that someone's custom 7 string 'strat' being coil split is at all similar to a MIM/MIA strat. with an HSS or HSH setup maybe you could get close, maybe.
>>64122116
at the point that you're modding the guitar anything is possible, but that sort of defeats the purpose of this comparison, no?
there are HSS strats indeed, but unless someone specifies HSS I don't tend to think of strats with humbuckers.
>>64123020
We've had this strat/djent argument before, and some anon posted a video of Misha from Periphery demoing some heavy shit on a strat. Can't find it now, so this random kid's video will have to do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q13oBRLkous
Single coils can chug just fine
>>64123020
Single coiled sized humbuckers then.
Tone Zone S,hot rails.. Etc
>>64123082
You're thinking of this. Keep in mind BKP Piledrivers have crazy high output in comparison to most single coils.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCK7oHgmv7M
>>64122932
Can't comment on Sithu Aye but the vast majority of TesseracT rhythm tones are Painkillers and M7s, not split.
>>64123020
the biggest reason that spilt humbuckers don't sound like single coils is the different magnet configurations. Humbuckers have a bar magnet whereas single coils have magnetic pole pieces. Humbuckers without bar magnets sound a lot more like single coils. Well, really, they sound exactly like single coils.
no bar magnet. In this way a split humbucker is more similar to a p90.
Anyone here /jazz/? What have you been shedding? Working on tunes, chops, or transcribing?
>>64116840
s... sauce
>>64123020
Strats were used almost exclusively in early black metal, you know. Why wouldn't they be good for djent?
>>64123397
They are probably good for those articulate, staccato-ish trebly tones.
Single coils are used for shred too, they sound more articulate in my opinion, without beef though.
>guitar slides are coming tomorrow
What are some good songs to learn for slide? I like Going For The One by Yes a lot.
Any reason I shouldn't go buy a brand spanking new white mexican strat with maple neck next weekend?
How can I buy one that hasn't even been on display?
>>64118017
2nd for thomastik
>>64126147
No, not if it's what you want. MIM's are pretty good. You could ask for an unopened box, depending on where you are, they just might have one.
>>64126372
I think it's what I want. I have an ancient SX strat that I love but it's kinda buzzy and creaky and full of rust. I kinda want a 'perfect' one.
I don't really know what alternatives there are though. I have more money to spend if it's worth it.
>>64126402
Would you consider a used or open box MIA. I've bought open box from Music123. They're new, just opened.

i just picked up a boss tr-2 but i'm testing different sections in the chain to put it. Haven't decided for sure yet. Excuse the power supply mess.
>>64128045
nice, what do you think of the TR-2?
I just got the Pulsar Trem and been having fun with it. the stereo out is what sold me.
When I play my bass upright like Fieldy and Toshiya I end up gripping the neck as opposed to holding the back of the neck.
Is this something that comes with practice?
>>64118619
this was my configuration the last time my band played a show. its just bass/drums/vocals so i try to cover lots of sonic territory and so i have over 69 effects
>>64128444
i haven't had much time to play around with it yet. I dig the sound so far though. Trying it dead last in my chain before the looper next. I had it before the delay and reverb and I wasn't super thrilled with it, this might be better though.
anyone know a decent, relatively affordable, and relatively easy-to-install alternative to a mastery bridge for a fender jag?
>>64128639
holy. that's a lot of effects
>>64128797
dead last appears to be conventional wisdom, think I might give that a try
>>64128984
don't know. I have one of these matched with my Bigsby and love it. quiet and keeps tune
>>64129273
i used to have more haha
but having two boards on stage was a bit much
this is how the board looks now, configured for guitar. im sifting thru all the pedals i've accumulated over the years and deciding which ones to keep and what to sell and what to just replace with something else.
>>64118619
Just need an octave pedal and I think I'm done. Apart from the fact that all my pedals are cheap as fuck, but I'm ok with that.
Little of this, little of that.
Reminder that adding more pedals is as degenerate as adding more strings. Completely stupid if you play your instrument like a retard but perfectly fine if you actually make the most out of it.
anyone have experience with either the
Shure SM57
or the
Samson C01?

Epiphone Wildkat | Sunrise Orange: €323
>>64130159

for an acoustic I would save up a little and get something like a rode nt5 pair so you can stereo mic it

Anyone using a Jazz/JB set with a 5 way super switch? What kind of positions do you use?
>>64130181
I wouldn't go with a bigsby as a beginner
>>64130207
couldn't one simply record twice and swing one to the left and one to the right in a mixer or something?
>>64130159
You're going to need an amp if you want feedback :^)
>>64130238
Bigsby aren't as bad as cheap chinese steel, as long as it's not a floyd rose style trem it's fine really
>>64127269
is that a jazzmaster with flatwounds?
>>64130306
yes
>>64130265
of course you can, but that's a totally different kind of sound. to track doubled takes exactly enough you need some sort of reference so you better record it all on a click track which is fine if your guitar tacks are part of a bigger arrangement
but if you want it to be a solo instrument that won't really work
>>64130372
Did it come with the bridge cover? Is it comfortable to play with it? Do you use it with the original bridge?
I just got a bass from a co-worker on Friday... For $20...

Could you make a humbucker out of two P90s?
>>64130159
I have an sm57 and it works great for acoustic, seriously. actually works great for vocals as well with a pop filter.
You need to set it right though, try the spot halfway between the hole and the 12th fret
>>64130398
>Did it come with the bridge cover?
No
>Is it comfortable to play with it?
Very practical actually for palm resting. I can't play without it.
>Do you use it with the original bridge?
God no. http://staytrem.com/JM-Jaguar-/-Jazzmaster-bridge-1
>>64130425
sure
>>64130474
theoretically yes, practically it will sound completely different because of the spacing alone
>>64130509
It's an AVRI model, or not? Or a classic player?
I've been eyeing the HH MIM one, but that's a different bridge, isn't it? So I would not have to change it if I buy it, or not?
Anyway, great guitar.
>>64130753
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NH5UEF6
You will have to change the bridge on any model you buy. I wouldn't recommend AVRIs, they come with same shitty bridges despite being so expensive. Mine sounded exactly like AVRI (same pickups, duh) but it even plays better after I've shielded and modded it.
Also, classic players are not typical Jazzmasters. Pickups are way hotter and the upper control panel isn't actually a rhythm circuit.
>>64130894
>the upper control panel isn't actually a rhythm circuit.
Woah, really? what the fuck is it then?
>>64130894
thanks for the info, my man. I'll test the guitar soon and I'll change the bridge, If i decide to buy it.
>>64130894
>>64130949
From the fender website on the cp jm
>Moving the upper-bout slider switch to the up position—that is, away from the neck—activates the Jazzmaster’s rhythm circuit, which is entirely separate from the lead circuit.
>>64130949
>>64131055
Welp, I'm confusing it with another model then. I distinctly remember a JM having the upper switch as a treble bleed and the rollers as pickup blends. The pickups on the CP are definitely hotter though.
>>64131029
You're welcome.
>>64130894
How much hotter are the classic player pickups in comparison to the vintage modified and j mascis models?
Anyone feel like making a chart?
>>64131099
I haven't played Squiers sorry. I've played it side by side to mine which has AVRIs wound to 6.8K and its were noticeablly hotter.
>>64131088
>the rollers as pickup blends.
That would be the CP Jaguar HH.
>>64131195
Oh, okay, that makes sense.
>>64131195

>>64131254

bigsbys are a little tricky to string the first time but after that, they are no big deal.
once they are strung they are simply the best vibrato bar ever made
just be sure you keep track of all the flying parts the first time you re-string.
Is there a reason why these Jems are less expensive than other models?
I always wanted one as a kid, but got the white one instead.

>>64131958
first write a chord progression you really like. One you can sort of "picture" a song around. Optimally with a verse and chorus. It's easier to start that way. Then get a looper, or just a looper on your phone. Loop one section, either the verse or the chorus. Build your riffs while listening to the loop.
tl;dr add riffs to the song not the other way around
how do i know if my guitar actually has fret buzz or if im just a shit guitar player
Post riffs you're having trouble with

don't worry about it until you're better. But you can give your guitar a rudimentary setup without really knowing what you're doing and without tools. I recommend it, it's nothing you can't undo. Having your guitar set up at various actions will let you get a better idea of what you like. niggers
>>64132190
I kept waiting for the riff to start and then the song ended. Also, what is devourment supposed to be?
>>64132190
>this is the kind of music /gg/ plays

Bought this last week.
1996 Fender Tonemaster with a 4*12 cab. It's pretty damn glorious. I got it for the drive channel which is pretty insane and very versitile.
It goes from low bluesy/rockabilly gain levels to Mastodon levels of gain.
I got it to be a middle thing between my Divided By 13 FTR37 (Clean to light crunch) and my Marshall AFD100 (one trick pony lead beast)
>>64133364
Here's a photo with the 4*12.
The previous owner was bought it new back in the day and has gigged it a lot, so the speakers are nice and worn in.
I wish I was friends with a bass player...
>>64133516
you can be my friend
>>64130401
$20? What model?
Whats the deal with FRFR amplification?
Am I supposed to use a power amp into a regular cab? Am I supposed to use a stage monitor? Or am I supposed to use powered PA speakers?
What's the best FRFR speaker I can get for under $500? I want something lightweight to use my Sansamp with
>>64133364
>Mastodon levels of gain
They don't really use much gain as far as metal goes, they just have a really balanced out sound.
>>64133516
I wish I understood what to do over a bass track
>>64133886
>I wish I understood what to do over a bass track
you play guitar over it
>>64133886
Yeah, I get what you mean.
It does have lots of gain (as much as I would ever need) I guess it's just more the fact that, it feels like this amp has weight in the tone. Hard to describe.
It's full and juicy but it's very clear and punchy at the same time.
It sounds absolutely godlike when I use my A/B box and have my FTR and the Tonemaster running at the same time with some gain on each. Fucking massive
who /drums/ here?

Are these bridges interchangeable with the 'murican ones??
>>64134169
I would
>>64134169
why would you want to change a perfectly fine bridge ?
>>64133964
I'm not that stupid, but I don't understand how people can go "Hey he's playing X, I should play these chords over it !" in a fraction of second
>>64134484
>"Hey he's playing X, I should play these chords over it !" in a fraction of second
I think that just comes with time and practice. Also I imagine knowing theory would help a ton.
>>64134007
I just recorded some today. Was sounding pretty cool
>laptop battery is kill
>project fails roll save
guitarist picking up a little drumming
>>64134484
I think the more notes someone plays, the more you can narrow down which chords will "work"...if you can apply the theory and all.
Well, I'm just curious if the parts can be switched out with one another
Is the Ibanez 505 decent for rock and jazz?
I can get one for 290 dollars here
>>64135133
Go for it.
It's more than decent with the tonal variation you can get. If there's anything you don't like just change strings and or pickups and you'll be fine. It's a great bass.
>>64135133
it does everything right, except pleasing traditionalists.
>>64135458
>except pleasing traditionalists.
elaborate please
>>64132190
Damn, death metal used to be shit
>>64135474
I'm talking about the kind of bassist that cringe and cry when it's not a P bass with flatwounds. Not that there's anything wrong with Ps.
The only thing that could actually be a problem would be the thin neck if you like thick necks.

>>64135523
ah, alright
thanks!
22 fret necks are outdated memes, 24 frets should be the standard
>>64133516
I wish more of my guitar friends weren't in projects already rip.
>>64135589
Disgusting
>>64135589
22/21 is fine if you want the particular harmonics of the neck pickups, fret access matters more than the amount you have, and even if I think it makes more sense to have 24, you're still not going to use the 24th fret that often.

Any tips for stretches etc. that can stop this from happening?
>order a TC polytune clip
>$50 plus tax and shipping
>get it today, try it out
>reads low E as B on my 4 string bass
>put it in bass mode
>still reads it as B half the time
Fuck this I'm ordering a pitchblack and a 1 spot.
>>64135931
just do a typical finger stretch, open your fretting hand and take your other hand and push on the tips of the fingers to stretch them back
>>64119178
this is what i use and they r good
>>64135589
>not just bending up to the 24th fret like a fucking MAN

>>64127269
i have the same setup onii-senpai
its so fucking good for jazz
how did you bastards learn to play solos? Give me some tips.
>>64136234
Learn to read scales
>>64133364
Fender sure has some crappy names
>>64133141
>guitarshit
>>64136234
play literally anything in key, as long as you repeat a phrase once or twice it's a solo.
>tfw bass is infinitely comfy but i dont want to be a cuck
>>64136504
I don't even know what this is supposed to imply... I guess the overuse of cuck has finally reached critical levels
>>64136546
the only thing to come to mind when thinking about a genitalia (ass) for anon is the word cuck
>>64136504
What does that even mean?
Should I buy an Ibanez S521?
Say what you will about sgcuck, at least he lived a proper example of the term and not this false cucking bullshit.
>>64136594
You should buy an Ibanez JEM
>>64136662
is that the one with a shopping handle
>>64136662
Too pointy.
>>64136504
>always openings in bands
>more gigs
>simple and fun to play with a huge impact in music
Who's cucking who?
My girls.
>>64136689
lead, you
>>64136681
>shopping handle
I like that term, I'll keep it in mind for when I buy a JEM one day.
>>64136686
I don't understand how people see RGs and superstrats as edgy. Except when they're glossy black, red or these kind of colors.
>>64136749
what genre do you usally play with those?
