I've always liked ole Deaner's Musicmaster.
>>64196522
I like it, are the things on the rights mallets so you can play it like a piano?
>>64197172
Well, shiiiiiiit. They won't trust a guy joining a forum just to buy a guit.
I need to get my hands on a telecaster, 'murican or messican
>>64197326
Yeah that's my guess. I've been trying to find out who made it.

i wanna ask him about his wata fuzz

So, you love it because it's the right thing to do. Please stop treating his guitar like an autistic kid.

No, those are both my guitars.

what's the closest fuzz you can get to it in the market today that isnt 300 bucks and only owned by the three richest arabian sultans?
I've wanted to get one since I saw that demo video they posted on their official youtube channel
>>64200499
So gearspammer is a sultan?
>>64200572
how else would he have all that gear? of course he is
How is the Ibanez SR800?
>>64200499
I a/b it with my vintage foxx tone machine and can confirm it is a clone of that circuit. So really any foxx tone machine clone will get you in the ball park. I believe there is an old? Danoelectro pedal that is a simple mod away from being a straight up foxx tone machine clone, the name escapes me and I've never personally tried one...but that MIT be the least expensive means.
Creepy Fingers makes a really ripping Foxx Tone Machine clone if you can score one...his pedals usually go around 150-250 secondhand and he's my facorite clone builder.
So yeah, a foxx tone machine clone will get you 90% of the WATA's octave fuzz sound, minus this really lovely grindy texture that the WATA has which seems to cover the whole sonic spectrum but is maybe most noticeable as treble energy.
>>64200695
Damn I'll keep an eye out for one then, thanks again man.
I heard MASF had made a Roland Bee-Bah Clone for Wata before so a few peeps figured her pedal was gonna be just a copy of one but they didn't really sound alike to me at all.
>>64200793
Yeah the Watafuzz is completely covered in this like...velvet material. Same as the vintage foxx tone machines, that was the big clue for me that it was based on the Foxx. I am sooooooo glad that I got a heads up when the preorder went up. it's just sad or disappointing that many people bought them for the sole purpose of flipping them for obscene profits. It's a keeper, aside from sounding great it's the fucking WATAfuzz!
>>64200945
yea I don't have any money cause I'm a poor universty student, I went to see Boris and I asked the merch table person even before they'd started setting up the table and she was like "oh dude we can only sell 1per venue and as soon as I got out of the van someone approached me and bought one" so I was double fucked.
alas one day i'll get free japanese boutique pedals cause I'll be a big hit and shit
>>64201000
A couple people on a forum I hang out at all tried and failed to score one at shows too.
That danelectro tone machine clone is called the French Toast. I'm sure if you google you can find the mod...I think it might be as simple as just clipping a single wire.
Might as well post here about this, maybe someanon would be interested. Just found out about these today and scored one secondhand, From Landscape the HC-TT, human controlled tape transport. looking forward to getting creative with this, has independent volume controls for left/right channel so...that will be handy for recording guitar on left and drums on right or etc.
here you can see where you insert your cassette, and the big blue knob you use to manually move the tape forward, or backwards etc.
has 1/4" in/out along with 1/8" in/out

Why does capo only change the open strings? I get that fretting is in front of the capo but doesn't the capo change the tension making the strings higher?

>>64201778
Easiest to just watch the demo clip linked.
>>64201194
But if you still don't get it, it is a manual cassette tape player, there is no motor so you control speed using that big knob. Let's you get experimental with cassette tape playback kinda like a dj scratching a record etc.
>>64201840
Damn, that's cool as hell. If I had a cassette collection I'd probably want one

Hopefully it shows up Saturday. I've had a tascam 424 four track tape recorder forever so I have a lot of stuff already to manipulate. But I'm looking forward to recording some hard panned tracks, playing those back on it and recording loops on a looper to jam over etc. should be a lot of neat ways to use it.
uh does anyone have that japanese website where you can mockup guitars
or a website where i can mockup a p-bass to be more specific
I have a cubic shit-ton of guitars, including garbage I built, but my Rg20061 is my main bitch.

hey /gg/,
for years I've been practicing on a small amp. Now I want something bigger, just small enough to practice but big enough for small gigs (if I ever have one).
I play clean 90 percent of the time, should I aim for a solid state amp? Or is tube just as good for clean and more flexible when it comes to overdriving/distorting the signal? I'm aiming for the biting Grant Green tone.
My budget is around 500 eurobucks, so far I've considered the Fender Champion 100, Fender Mustang, Roland JC-40, Fender Blues Junior, Vox AC15, and Fender Super Champ.
Any suggestions, recs? I'll be testing some of the named amps in two weeks.
>>64203976
Blues Junior
seeking practice amp that has small gig potential
thinking orange 35rt, or fender 40w
opinions on either?
>>64204046
that is fender champion 40
>>64203976
>Roland JC-40
>>64196522
Good idea but it seems really unpractical, the mallets take up all the space and there's no bridge pickups, the intonation looks questionable, and since it's a multiscale without fanned frets the playability must be weird.
>>64204064
what's wrong with it? I always hear it's the best budget amp for clean sounds besides its big brother.
>>64204097
It's $600 new, you can find a JC-120 used for the same price
>>64204135
I can stretch my budget a bit. I don't think I'll find a good used 120 in my area, at least not much under the price of a new jc-40. Also I don't really need such a big one.
When I was underageb& I thought bass was for fags and that lead guitar was the only cool option but looking back I enjoyed and clicked more with playing bass in music class than I did guitar
What are the best "baby's first bass guitar" books? And what would be a good first bass guitar?
>>64204211
Just get a bass you like and that's good quality, the only bad instrument for a beginner is something that plays like shit.
Just don't fall for "versatility means its bad", getting a bass that can pull off the farty P sound and the clangy J sound means you can play in almost every band.
Last advice's just my opinion but I think there's also nothing wrong with starting on a 5 string.
>>64204204
You're always going to depend on the local market for used stuff sadly. I get what you're saying about 120w being too much, I have a 20w hybrid amp and I never turn the thing past 3 in my house
>>64203976
Try finding a polytone mini brute. Henriksen jazzamp is cool too
>>64204097
Absolutely nothing wrong, it's a great amp.
>Dat stereo chorus.
>>64204554
too expensive and I don't finde used ones.
>>64204316
>>64204570
thanks, guys. What about the fender solid states I listed? Not as good as the JC-40?
>>64204721
Not as good, the mustang is a modeler, no better, no worse than a Line 6. I can't say for the Champion, tho the price is crazy low 349usd for a 2x12.
>>64204832
well it's solid state. I read a lot of good reviews on the web, but I suspect that some of them were written for cash.
>>64204721
They're good but not as good as the JC40 imho. Another good SS amp in that price range would be a Randall RG series. The clean channel is supposedly good but they're used primarily for heavy stuff.
>>64204046
Orange 35RT you will love it
>>64204721
Grant Green used an Ampeg Gemini. A Blues Jr might get you a similar sound. Maybe you can buy an Ampeg Gemini, here in the US you can find them in that price range. Might be worth saving for if the prices aren't too high.
>>64202537
The $40 makala is great. Not the lowest player but they sound great and the frets seem to be in order. Been playing ukulele for 4 years and it's still my favorite.
>>64202291
Natural finish right? That looks nice.
Have an IbanezRG (one of the cheaper ones) from 2012ish, looking to get that shoegaze sound
I already know that Memory Man Pedals are the fucking bomb
just need a cheapish Distortion pedal to use with it
also maybe a fuzz pedal
also maybe a delay pedal
also maybe a phaser
also maybe a loop pedal
pic realted is what it looks like if anyone is a wizard with that sort of thing
>>64207096
RG350DX I think.
All that stuff you mentioned mite be useful in your quest.
>>64207096
If you want all of those things, why not go for a multi fx? Boss GT series have all these effects and more
So when you have like 20 pedals, what do you do with them all? Make one enormous board? Swap them around? Should each class of pedal have it's own board?
This is no longer maintainable.
>>64207186
well I'm definitely getting the memory man, because they are dank
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXuvDRSwN8
The multifx sounds like a sweet deal but I want to be able to combine effects on stage, do they do that?
>tfw mxr pedals
why do they do this?
>>64207347
My orange micro dark terror does the same, you go blind if you mess with the controls while it's on.
>>64207265
Yeah you chain effects or directly use presets. Of course it will never be as modular as having a real pedalboard.
Have fun with the memory man, they are pretty dank indeed.
>>64207245
What does the cat pedal do?
>>64207427
The cats are my roadies. They make sure the pedals smell okay and that the power cords can't easily be disconnected from the pedals.
>>64207245
make a circle, saw a dude doing that at a show, had like 30 pedals, was fucking crazy
>>64207468
>tfw no cat roadie to setup your pedalboard
Well, at least i have these qtbirds
>>64207245
Pick the ones that are essential to your sound. I have a ton of pedals but narrowed my working board down to these three, sometimes I'll switch out the overdrive for another distortion pedal but the formula is always the same.
Too many pedals can sometimes cloud your headspace for making music. I'm guessing that's how you feel right now since you say it's not maintainable.
>>64207589
Here's one of mine making sure the pickups are working fine.
This is going to sound absolutely retarded, but are there single-coil sized P90s? As in single coils with a much fuller tone.
>>64207671
Yes, I've seen some single coil sized P90s before made by small manufacturers(pic related). I don't know any that are made by big pickups brands though.

What's with the four random tuning pegs?
>>64208264
It's a 10 string
>>64208270
Oh, I didn't see the strings coming out of it. Why didn't they go all the way and give it 12 strings?
>>64201678
a capo changes open strings because you have it resting on top of open strings, it's not rocket science. it's like moving the 0 fret higher. or in easier tones, barre the entire fretboard and see if you change the tension

Thanks for your promotion :^)
Today I'll be changing my guitar strings, and was wondering if it'll need another setup. I'm currently using a hybrid set (the first 3 strings are 0.09 and beyond, and the other 3 are like a set of 0.10s would be). I'll restrung it with a set of 10s, so only the gauges of the high E, B and G strings will change. Will I have any intonation problems or need some truss rod adjustment? My guitar is a squier affinity strat, if that matters.
Thanks!
>>64209029
Picked it up for $300 so no. Got a fucking deal famalam.
>>64204097
It's a great clean amp, but as soon as you need something that isn't squeaky clean you're fucked.
Even if you just want a bit of spank in your tone, it's not happening on a JC, without sounding like shit.

I made a demo, it's too long so feel free to skip around, I'm still trying to get used to the pedals, there are some volume issues probably and my slap and pick playing sucks, but here it is: https://clyp.it/jjpjtfuz
at the very beginning is everything bypassed, then the compressor, then the fuzz, then the envelope filter and then fuzz and envelope. Adding the compressor into all of that helps sometimes, but I'm still not sure how to use all of this stuff properly.
>>64210107

>That seems like work and it'd cost money
You mean like building your own pedals? Seriously these things are like $30
>>64210348
yes but to what?

>>64210421
but what is the point? Seems like it accomplishes nothing.
>>64210435
google audio interface
>>64210421
Building a pedal is also 30 bucks, I'd rather build another pedal than buy a label printer honestly.
Guys, I am super excited. I just emailed Zoot Horn Rollo and I might get skype lessons from him.
>>64210435
Audio interfaces generally are USB, yes. But you do realize that this is not a simple converter, right?
>>64210452
yh I got it
any recs on a minimal one?
>>64210491
yes I do, I've worked with them before
was hoping for a straight shot converter but god forbid that.
hence
>>64210519
>>64210437
They just look neat and are easy to use and read. I used them to label all the stuff in my studio. It helps since I got an old peavey millenium and some of the writings faded away.
>>64210467
very cool
>>64207876
that's a 50 watt amp, you dip.
>>64207245
get a Patchulator and you can easily rearrange the order of your pedals by simply patching a cable. Really really useful.
>>64210987
you can also use it to control signal flow of different sources too i believe.
>>64211021
think i might get one, only $120
>>64211055
here is a close and so you can see how patching flows

In actuality though I don't have time for that shit. I'm not gonna disassemble my guitar and scrub my tailpiece with steel wool just because. I don't understand the obsession /gg/ has with cleaning guitars.
>>64211460
yeah he does a great job, don't have a link to his info.. afaik he doesn't do the actual circuit building, he collaborates with someone else to build and he comes up with the artwork.
this guy does pretty incredible acid etchings too, he builds circuits as well.

*laowiz

i've bought from laowiz before, really nice guy
>>64211896
Not what he said at all. He commented on this threads (and I notice it a lot on /g/ too) tendency to value aesthetics over substance, manifesting itself as an obsession with keeping guitars looking pristine at the expense of time spent actually playing. But that also disregards the relatively minimal amount of effort required to keep a guitar looking decent.
>>64211421
>It's a 52 year old guitar
Mite b the oldest here. Very cool mate.
>>64211964
Which is completely irrelevant if you boast about it being 52 years old, you don't get picked up in a limo wearing an unfitting t-shirt and torn pants
>>64211876
Did, took that picture right after stringing her up. Also, didn't come with a pickguard (bought a body/neck and installed all the hardware myself), and I don't like them.
>>64211964
>minimal amount of effort required to keep a guitar looking decent
Exactly my point. It takes 30 minutes out of the day, tops, to make a guitar look great for the next 3 months.

How do you clean a guitar with the strings already on it?
>>64212009
>>64212025
It's totally relevant because he hasn't had it it's whole life. To remove that kind of scrunge, he'd need to do some serious metal finish work the average person isn't qualified to do. Having a 15 year old guitar that you've been the only owner of with a bridge looking like that would warrant that sort of trolling but not a 50 year old instrument.
>>64212123
dont
clean yr guitar when y put a new set of strings on it

>>64212123
Brass brush and some wd40 always works for the bridge for me

With a cloth.

Then you keep the old bridge and put it back on when you sell it.
>>64212279
That's a workable solution. You will only need to be very careful when you replace it and don't fuck anything around.

You never know.
>>64212305
how much of an incompetent cockmongler do you have to be to not be able to screw back in six screws ?
>>64212331
iirc they fucked his frets up because he had a rolled fingerboard
Epiphone G400 or Agile Valkyrie?
>>64212140
pretty much this. I play my guitars, I don't spend hours every month dusting, scrubbing, and polishing them. They're tools for making music and I don't see them as investments. I'm not gonna to spend an hour scrubbing age spots off a perfectly functioning piece of hardware that's over half a century old. It would be one thing if I were doing something stupid to ruin its functionality, but oxidation on old Fender bridges is really common and it actually prevents the intonation from slipping on that terrible 3 saddle bridge.
This is the reason oxidized vintage Jazzmaster bridges don't have any of the saddle screw-slipping problems of shiny new ones. Scrubbing my bridge/tailpiece to hell might actually mess it up at this point, guys.
I would be interested in getting a 6 saddle replacement eventually but right now I don't care.
Any day now hoping to get shipping notice on the new HEXE reVOLVER DX. Original revolver is awesome and sad i missed out on the limited edition run which changed up the features and increased sample time to 4 seconds! So nice that he decided to release a new production reVOLVER that shares those new features from the limited edition.

Anyone got any opinions on the Arion EWS Modded Chorus?
Is it really worth the price tag it carries?

here is good look at the uni-vibe and iconic superfuzz in both of its housings.

>>64213693
god just checked out the superfuzz
amazing sound
>>64213676
Not familiar with that particular pedal, but i've got a modded Arion DDM-1 delay and it sounds pretty fantastic. here's a demo i made of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xhTH_2DjPI
>>64213776
That does indeed sound very nice anon
>>64213742
yeah its pretty incredible. the shin-ei FY-2 is also incredible if not quite as crushing as the Superfuzz aka FY-6. Highly recommended.
Does anyone have experience with the Dirty Hesher pickups? I'm thinking about putting them in my semi hollow, but I want to make sure that they'd be okay for the sludge/stoner sound I'm going for. I figure since Pike helped make them, they are, but I just want to make sure.
>>64213798
I'm not sure if those washed out but still kinda distinct delay tones are original to that delay or part of the bend, but GOD do they sound so good.

Vintage 30s all the way my man
Help me out guys. I was giving my EB-3 a cleaning, fret polish, and setup before I listed it on craigslist. When I started tightening the strings the two rear bridge posts started lifting. After removing one, I can tell that there was originally no glue. Should I glue them in, ot just try to hold them down while I tighten the strings? I expect I can get them flush with the body, but I wonder if over a long period of time they might start lifting again.
>>64214019
Money's a constraint right now so I'm trying to go budget.
>>64213798
I bought another modded pedal from that guy cbmods, a behringer uf100 flanger. I made a demo of a really nice resonant response i found and tweak a knob to really ring it out.

You can find it second hand (ebay) for around $80 if you don't mind it being reconed.

If you're lazy you can even get the Harley Benton G112 vintage, which is just a V30 in a box. Pretty hard to get a better cab for metal at 130€

>>64214678
>Harley Benton G112 vintage
That's an awesome deal.
Back then when I needed a really cheap 1x12 I bought this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X12-guitar-spker-cabinet-w-CELESTION-Vintage-30-speaker-8-Ohms-strait-up-shape-/251213989804
It's quite good. The Benton is a better deal tho.
I know it's not a guitar, but I was wondering if I could get a little help maybe?
I got a ukulele as a christmas present (been wanting an instrument for years), and I'm trying to learn to play it. Well, I also got the 'Absolute beginners ukulele' book, and it has these music notes (I think?) in it that it wants me to try and play.
Well, I don't know how to read music yet and I've been googling and youtubing everything I can, and so far nothing looks like these notes, and I can't find these notes anywhere when I look them up.
Can someone tell me what they are and where I can learn how to read and play them? Or get a book or something on how to read it?
>>64214816
up above you see the F, that is the chord you play. otherwise those are rhtyhmic notation showing you how to strum. the 1,2,3,4 are the beats. down or up strokes are what they are showing
Today I'll be changing my guitar strings, and was wondering if it'll need another setup. I'm currently using a hybrid set (the first 3 strings are 0.09 and beyond, and the other 3 are like a set of 0.10s would be). I'll restrung it with a set of 10s, so only the gauges of the high E, B and G strings will change. Will I have any intonation problems or need some truss rod adjustment? My guitar is a squier affinity strat, if that matters.
>>64214872
>goes right over the head
Uhhh....
No chance there's some youtube videos on this, are there? I really appreciate you trying to explain it, but I am horrible at learning things without visual aid
>>64214945
dunno? i'm guessing the book showed you how to play a F chord? That first line you play and F chord, then the next line is C, then F, then C7 and F again. Do you see that?
you count out or just sing the words. when you sing BOB-----by. You are playing an F, and you strum down, down up on the BOB, when you sing the BY you strum down again. so strum Down, downup kinda quick, Down. then strum down when you sing SHAL, and strum down again when you sing TOE.
Does that makes sense?
>>64214945
it would probably be easier just to find that song on youtube and just follow the strumming sounds.
that sheet is going into ridiculous levels of detail for just simple strumming pattern.
you're just holding one chord for every 2 measure, all that other shit is strumming notation.
>>64215014
>>64215058
I get the feeling I need to take some basic music classes before I try to play an instrument, cause none of this is making much sense to me.
Thanks for the help anyway guys.
That sheet wasn't at the beginning of the book also, it was just a random page in it that I was trying to understand what the symbols meant. Forgot to mention that.
![IMG_20160402_163130[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/YNUwJYW.jpg "IMG_20160402_163130[1].jpg")
>>64207245
This.
>>64215135
it's not that complicated, all those stupid fucking symbols make it complicated.
you are just playing an F chord for 2 measures, a C chord for 2 measures, another F chord for 2 measures, and then a C7 chord for 2 measures. it's not complicated. just look up the fingerings for those chords in the book and you can play it. forget about the strumming pattern notation.
>>64214939
even if you don't change the strings you need occasional truss rod adjustment. Intonation will probably be a bit off, but it's easy to fix since it's unambiguous how it should be set.
>>64215188
Let me go look up what a measure is and the numbers after the letters, cause C7 is confusing me. Is that where you put your fingers on the string or something? For being an 'absolute beginners' book, it did crap at explaining this shit.
I might just go out and pick up an beginners book on reading music in general.
I just know too little for this stuff to make sense to me right now. I mean, I'm sure it seems obvious to you guys because you know how to read music, but to me this is like learning a new language, which I probably should have started with first.
>>64195931
Can anyone identify either of these guitars? Thinking they would be real cheap since they look beat to shit.
http://syracuse.craigslist.org/msg/5545213541.html
>>64215443
post pics
>>64215311
C7 is CEGB, assuming you're in the key of C, so you have to place your hands on the fretboard (plank of wood that has the metal bars) so that you will play these notes when strumming, which on a normally tuned ukulele, should be just your finger on the second fret (remember, little metal bars), and all the strings strummed.
Also that notation is confusing, sheet is better when you read for every instrument
>>64215461
Could be stolen considering there's no information, and it's not quite in the ghetto but not quite not in the ghetto
>>64215443
The solid body's probably a teisco or whatever old asian guitar brand, no idea about the hollowbody but I wouldn't bet on something too good. Might be worth it for a slide guitar and a case
>>64215311
a measure is just a sub division of the piece of music, it's just a way to organize it in sections. you see that black thick line? that called a bar, it separates each measure. you see the 4/4 at the beginning of the piece? that means each measure is 4 beats and the quarter note gets the beat (don't worry about trying to understand the quarter note part right now). every measure in that piece is 4 beats, you count it 1-2-3-4, and that is one full measure. in that piece you use the same chord for 2 full measures, and then you switch to the next chord.
how fast or slow you count the beats is dependent on the beats per minute (BPM). that piece doesn't have a BPM listed so i don't know how fast or slow to count it. i'm guessing it's just a moderate speed though, like 70 or 80 BPM.
if i'm confusing you just tell me and i'll help
>>64215529
front one looks like some sort of tiesco, back one probably is too. those pups in the front one sound good, i think that guy in the Cure modded his jazzy/jag with one. that would be the only reason i would be interested in that guitar..maybe $15. back guitar dunno.
>>64215545
Yeah, I figured it was probably teisco. What would think is a fair offer, assuming it works. The quality of the pic is shit but it definitely doesn't look in great shape.
>>64215624
second thought those might not be the pups i'm thinking they are...i've bought an old tiesco specifically for the pups to put in a project guitar and they look like this...sound really good. really any vintage pups sound interesting and are easy to get cheap if you stay away from "vintage" dealers
>>64215766
modded jazzy with old teisco pup ala Robert Smith
Hey guys, nowhere else on /mu/ helps. I love hard rock and classic rock for their guitar work, vocals and energy, but I can't find anything modern that meets that.
What do you guys listen to which is contemporary, has high energy and great guitar work?
>>64215819
technical brutal death metal
>>64215819
/gg/ has shit taste in music
>>64215850
Fuck man, anything but metal. I love metal but I want less negativity.
>>64215819
if you want a classic rock vibe, try the black keys, their first couple albums are very bluesy classic rock. the white stripes are similar.
eagles of death metal are very classic rock sounding too, despite the name.
Who else modded to have a pickup behind the bridge on their jazzy/jag?
>>64215862
>implying there's anything negative in uncomprehensible gurgles
Also every technical/prog metal band speaks about transcendance and this kind of shit, not really negative. TBDM's just for taking the piss of it and listening to unmusical sweeps and fast playing.
>>64215878
I love Rubber Factory and Chulahoma by the Black Keys. That's exactly the type of shit I'm looking for, maybe a little better lead guitar.
I'll check out Eagles of Death Metal, I've been meaning to do that. Thanks man, any others in that same vein?
>>64215909
I more mean the vibe rather than the lyrics.
damn
>>64215910
wilco isn't classic rock sounding, but sky blue sky has some amazingly intricate guitar work by nels cline. it's not high energy stuff though, but i think you'd enjoy it.
black angels is really good psych rock
this looks interesting
goldfoil and lipstick behind bridge pure sex
>>64215974
I sincerely appreciate this man, have them all queued up.
You seem to have liked classic rock and hard rock as your favorite genres in the past, what filled that space for you?
>>64215975
Batshit retarded, that wouldn't even intonate.
oh this is cool, pickup in the trem plate
>>64216017
i don't really know what happened, i grew up on hard rock and classic rock stuff and just branched off from there
trip hop was probably the first genre i really got into after my teenage classic rock phase, like portishead and massive attack. i can't even listen to that stuff any more because i listened to it for like a year straight
