Interesting find last week, came across this early 60's Guyatone GP-24 sound hole pickup on Craigslist. It requires no modding to install, it clamps into place with a clip on one side and two little pivoting spider arms on the other, and it's actually very sturdy, doesn't move around at all while playing. It has its own volume/tone controls and an input jack. Sounds fantastic, very clear with lots of tone control, I'll try and get around to recording a tone demo some time this week.

>tfw you don't enjoy playing anymore
>>64726326
Just try learning something new and challenging, many. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
>>64725131
Looks real neat
How much'd you pay fir it?
>>64724885
Beginner here, can play basic shit but others nope because I strum chords I shouldnt or too slow to change chords(fucking Polly is easy but I can't play, meanwhile Do I wanna Know I can do the intro)
Should I spenmd 60€ per month on guitar lessons? I dont remember the frequency on them but I had them when I was a little kid and learned music sheets some songs and stuff, even performed Cream live
So I have a bunch of guitar strings from different packages but no idea which string is supposed to be what, i'm sure I could figure it out but I just want to make sure I don't screw up. So what sort of gages work for what string? i.e 9-11 high E
>>64727243
80 Canadabucks. There's only 1 listed on eBay right now for $120 CAD.
>>64727762
meh. Just practice, practice, practice. Pick a song you like which is not too hard. Wish you were here and nothing else matters are pretty easy to learn once you're ready for something that isn't just strumming.
>>64728051
where in Canada my friend?
>>64727762
If it's one per week the price's alright. It's nice to have a teacher for the bases of music theory and if you don't want to catch bad habits. Beyond that, it's not essential.

>mfw people try to tell me that Dookie was recorded with a Gibson G-3
>>64728375
Two different kinds of 3 string dulcimer guitars. The smaller one is a Seagull Merlin, you can buy them retail for $100, they sound great and are super easy to play. The larger and weirder looking one is the Thai version of dulcimer guitars, called a Phin. They're all hand built, I don't believe anybody mass produces them, may be wrong, got mine off some hoarder old lady for $20. All dulcimer guitars have diatonic fret spacing so you tune them to an open tuning, like EBE, and every fret is spaced to a scale so you can't play them wrong. The Phin's are hand built by random dudes and typically the frets are spaced by ear to no particular scale, so they sound really weird.
Here's a little blues track I did on mine: https://soundcloud.com/epoch6/echo-lake
>>64728580
Why wouldn't that be possible? Pretty sure Mike Dirnt used a Gibson G-3 or Grabber at some point. Plus you can get a decent Pbass sound out of those.
>>64727762
If you can afford it, it is very helpful to have at the beginning to get the basics down.
After you can learn songs and stuff on your own its usually best to cut the cord, unless you really want to be a serious session player or something.
>>64728719
He only played the G-3 live during the dookie tours and didn't use it on an album again until insomniac, he said it in multiple interviews that he used a P/J bass to record Dookie with an SVT II. It was most likely a Precision bass plus since he says it was brand new and active. My Japanese Jazz Bass Special bass NAILS the tone 100%. It was recorded with a PJ.
So I leave my guitars open in my bedroom, on its stand 24/7
The temperature is constant here, except at night where I on the AC.
Is it any bad for the guitar this way? It's an electric btw.
>>64728767
Dirnt timeline
10039 Slappy etc... - G-3
Kerplunk - G-3
Dookie - P/J
Insomniac - G-3
He switches between a 70s P and the G-3 up until warning iirc. He gets his Fender endorsement soon after AmIdiot.
>>64728804
Strings will go a little sharp but other than that no. What affects your neck and fret ends etc. is humidity.
>>64728804
you're fine. Any guitar might need some adjustment after several years, though.
>>64728767
I'll take your word for it, I'm not a GD fan. I'm surprised you can replicate that tone with a Jbass pup though.
>>64728804
I wouldn't do that with my electric guitar. my guitar is in a hard-case like pic related.
I mean, you should be okay having your guitar out like that, i do that with my cheaper classic guitars, but just to let you know that you increase the chances of it accidentally falling and breaking
>>64728922
A PJ sounds a lot different from a JJ.
>Need to get new stuff for my guitar
>I've been out of a job for months despite constant searching
Music for this feel?
>>64728977
A PJ's only going to sound different than a JJ only if you're using both pickups at the same time, if you have the same bridge pickup and pots, it'll sound the same on the bridge.
>>64728600
you have two of the nicest guitars ive ever seen, aged cherry is a GOAT finish

I need help with a problem I'm having with my tube amp. Basically, whenever the amp is on there is a crackling sound that happens about every two seconds, it is also very loud. This happens even when my Strat is unplugged and the amp is dialed to 1. Any thoughts?
>>64729124
And yes I'm using both pickups at the same time.
>>64729131
Microphonic preamp tube
Getting my new walnut pedalboard this week.
Feels good senpai.
>>64729031
The SG is mine (SG Original 2), the Flying V (120th Anniversary V) is my bandmate's. They're basically the same guitar. Same neck, same pickups (classic 57s), same finish. The aged cherry finish is fucking gorgeous in person, it's almost black in dimly lit rooms and a clear wine red in daylight.
>>64728945
It won't fall down, I'm pretty sober to make sure it doesn't. Just want to know if the change in temperature because of the AC does anything to affect the neck or body in general.
buckethead is playing here to tomorrow, should i even go?
>>64729186
>>64729131
You can check if the tube is micro phonic by taking the end of a pencil while the amp is on, and tapping on the tubes lightly. If you hear noise you know its the tube.

>>64729455
all wigglesticks make your guitar go out of tune; that's literally what they're for.
Bigsbys are more difficult than others to restring, and suffer from some instability with regard to returning to tune or maintaining consistent tuning when the vibrato bar isn't actually in use.
>>64729479
Tweakers are nice in my experience.

>>64729563
the best advice I have is to try both. Try to pay attention to whether or not the whambulator gets in the way when you play without using it.
Personally, I have one guitar with a jiggle bridge and I removed the actuation lever and inserted a shim to prevent its detuning on bends or what-have-you. It was fun to play around with when the instrument was new, but I eventually realized that it got in the way more often than not and it wasn't important to the music I was playing. If I need it back, I can remove the shim and reinsert the lever.

Agnes, people would be less hostile toward you if you didn't associate yourself with an identity.

I play on playing punk, alt rock and post punk so I'll probably be strumming the shit out of it and I feel like a waggler staggler will get in the way.

Boring audiences are the worst, my friend got in the quarter finals for a band contest/whatever you call it, and absolutely no one was moving around. Meanwhile when they were playing in another town with a smaller audience, everyone was having fun.

How do you go shopping for a guitar and not annoy a bunch of shop owners? I want to spend a day going to every shop in my area but I'll only end up with one guitar from one store. Should I get something really cheap from every place?
>>64729212
Fuckin beautiful, man.
>>64730642
If a guitar shop worker/owner doesn't like you playing their guitars to potentially buy, they don't deserve your business. We have a really cool shop downtown with a LOT of hard to find stuff. And they really ride your ass about trying out the guitars. I've never bought anything from them.
What are your opinions on the Orange Crush series? Specifically the 20, 20RT and 35RT? Which one would be the best value?
I'm looking for a new bedroom amp.
>>64731914
Overpriced and mediocre. For the same price you can get a used Super champ X2, Excelsior, Ramparte, or even a Blues Deluxe Reissue.
>>64731914
I own a crush 20, only cost me £99 and I think its incredible, the clean channel crunches like a tube amp when you turn it up to 11, the distortion is very dark sounding and it takes pedals better than lisa ann takes dick.

I don't regret buying it but I'll probably take it out of my chain eventually. Right now I mostly use it to loop shit so I can play drums over it.
>>64730624
Really depends on the position. If it's very close to the bridge, yeah. But if it's more towards the middle it can sound fine. Also, you don't have to be Jaco to make a single coil bridge PU sound good on a fretless.
>>64735041

>>64735262
>Luthiers in argentina
>cheaper than buying any high end guitar
That would cost min 2000 bucks and no, they dont do entry level stuff
>>64735224
my point is that there are plenty of ways to get gear anyway. and if you're band isn't working, like >>64729815's, you can work your way around that too.
if you don't do anything for your scene, city, economy, etc. it's gonna be shit forever; and if you can't, well it's time to move the fuck away

The only way to do something is a)go to usa and buy everything you need then come back. b) buy used.

the picture I got from reverb, it's a Fender special run mexican Jazz bass in burgundy mist, I have a mexican Jazz bass I got when I was 16 that I repainted in burgundy mist as well but I had to take it last week to the luthier cause the paint was flaking off, I'm getting the headstock painted as well while I'm at it. He's notorious for taking a long time to do work but he said I should expect it by next week so I'll post pics by then.

Fiesta Red is a most dope custom color, I definitely want a Strat in that color (or Shell Pink). Also Frusciante is pretty good, I enjoyed pretty much all of his work through his tenure with RHCP. My favorite would have to be his stuff on BSSM though, so damn funky.
>>64735897
Haha I play drums and bass.
does anyone here play with two picks?
I like to put a hard pick between my thumb and index finger and a soft pick between middle and ring finger. use the hard for downstroke and soft for upstrokes. makes it a lot easier.

Anyone have experience with pic related? I'm looking to buy a high end, low wattage tube amp. I live in an apartment, so I can't play very loud at all. This seems like the best option due to the power soak/headphone jack, not to mention it sounds amazing from what I've heard.

>>64736112
I've heard it played live a few times, sounds fantastic.
>>64736208
Oh, I only know swans :/
>>64736285
not CAnon but go listen to the rest right now
everything he listed is some GOODass shit
>>64736333
Okay haha, nice trips btw
>>64736285
then I highly recommend the rest
i'd still like to play with you regardless
>>64736386
what is that charlie brown pedal
also BECK is fuckin gay
Wondering if it's worth ordering a Carvin guitar, I don't want to pay 100+ to return it because of international shipping in case I don't like it..
>>64736386
noise rock, stoner rock/metal
>>64736376
Do you want to maybe get in touch? i doubt we will ever get the chance to meet in real life, but just to talk about music and gear and stuff?
>>64736386
Also forgot for bass is just an Ampeg PF-500, Acoustic 4x10 and Squier Bronco. Dream basses would be a Hofner And Musicmaster bass
>>64736416
beck was an ok show, but I love that mustang color. Matches my cabinet and fits the Gulf Livery color scheme in my gear. Also the pedal is a JHS Charlie Brown V1
>>64736033
Are you the guy who wanted to start a band with the weeb bassist as well? You're REALLY desperate for a bassist, aren't you?
>>64736519
man I always wanted to get one of those blue super champs, they had one for cheap at a guitar center outlet here but i had no money at the time
:(
>>64736468
Do you think love can bloom, even on the battlefield?
>>64736468
eh, i dont really use skype or anything like that, just know im the blue telecaster guy
>>64736539
yes and yes
it sucks. I can't seem to find a bassist in the area that doesn't have total shit taste either
>>64736453
Nice, you got 2/5 of my genres. The colors, mosrite and Fender Tank should be a dead giveaway for one of em
>>64736578
Yes
>>64736608
Surf
>>64736581
I understand, and I know bbz.
>>64736581
Well I'm the weeb bassist, I doubt it'd work even if I was in Canada but I hope you'll find someone soon.
And as a general question, would you people play with a beginner bassist who is eager to learn and useful (I can solder and I'm studying electrical engineering so I build pedals and repair shit as well). Also, quite a bit of disposable income so I have decent gear.
anyone have experience with the blackstar club series? tried one for 10 minutes the other day and it seems pretty nice for the price.
if you have any other suggestions for a tube amp in the $400-$700 range let me know
>>64736697
if they're willing to learn and put effort into it, definitely
i'm not an amazing guitarist myself so I want to get better with others
I finished my meme.
>>64736540
GO GO GOYIM
https://reverb.com/item/2178157-fender-super-champ-x2-combo-fsr-limited-edition-2013-sonic-blue
I got lucky, they came out around the same time I had enough to buy my first tube amp went to my local GC picked one up then a week later the Surf Green and Sonic Blue ones were released and I immediately returned my black one and bought the last blue one in store at ChicagoMusicEx. At the time I was bummed that I couldn't get the Surf Green to match my guitar but now you'd have to kill me in order to get my baby blu away from me. (Although I did come close last year to trade it for a Surf Green FSR Hot Rod Deluxe with some guy here and an extra $250, and i would still love a Surf Green SC2 as a backup)
>>64733982
Here we go.
>>64734816
why do you have that beautiful $1000 guitar with a shitty roland cube
>>64737038
What type of Strat is that?
Man jazz theory is boring as hell, but at the same time interesting.
It really makes you realise how simple modern pop songs are.
>>64737122
Fender MIM Strat in blaze gold. I got it because I'm a huge fusion nerd and a lot of those guys played orange or gold guitars in the 80s and 90s.
>>64737058
Don't bully, anon. :(
I'm working on it
Have a lot of money to blow, but only 19, moving to uni next year and parents are strict with this stuff so it takes time
>>64737122
What kind of guitar is that?
>>64737153
I don't find it boring, just incredibly expansive. I never feel like I know enough but being able to apply it is super rewarding. It's made me a better improviser and composer.
>>64737122
Also you're in Chicago, aren't you?
>>64736789
>>64737122
I like your matching Sovtek
I love Sovtek amps too I should try and snag one off craigslist around here or something.
I chipped a small piece on the back top corner of the headstock on my heritage. (basically a les paul).
the piece is still intact with the nitro finish off as well (the clear finish is sticking out from the wood).
is it ok to just superglue it back on? or use wood glue maybe? it's only a small piece on the back of the headstock but no reason not to glue it back on
>>64728051
what amp is that
>>64737513
It's reliced now congratulations
>>64737225
Axl Bel Air in baby blue. Modded like a beast, TV Jones pup, Orange Drop cap, Bigsby, and Sperzels.
>>64737296
I knew that Egnater and Strat/JM combo looked familiar! How you doing man?
>>64737410
These are the 90s models made in AUS, the Eminence speakers are killer they can handle all my fuzzes with ease. I've been debating on taking them to a gig with a mic'd setup this week. I got mine of CL too I got to know the guy who sold them to me and we see if any of us has new shit to sell/trade every week
>>64737588
kek
Just bought this for $185, is it worth keeping or should I sell it?
It's got
> 60th Anniversary Fender Maple Neck
> GFS Hardware and Capri Orange Body
> SD JB Humbucker
The body is routed for regular HSS so I'm debating on weather or not it's worth keeping as a super Strat project with lace sensors and an extra SD pup.
>>64737795
super strats are fucking gay anon
>>64737690
I've been good, man. Writing new stuff with my band, we're about to start doing shows around the city. Getting back into some theory studies as well. Just bought a new keyboard with weighted keys so I've been using it to write; long-term goal is to develop a solo jazz piano set. You on break from university?
>>64737814
Nigerian Prince, it's already CAPRI ORANGE it's already gay enough. I think Lace senors would be nice to put on
>>64737795
>single humbucker
Eh.........
>>64737888
Yea I kinda wanted a nice Humbucker guitar, if not I'll sell the pup to my buddy who would wanna put it as a backup on his Squier. I kinda wanted it to look like King Tuffs Strat when he plays with the Muggers. (Saw it live and boy does it look amazing)
>>64737856
If you got a link I'd love to hear it, I automatically love anything Chicago based. I hope that piano goes well, there's no doubt that you're better at theory than I am so check in about the progress once in a while it might get me off my lazy ass and learn.
Yea I'm about to go on break in a couple a weeks, my bandmates and I are planning to finally get some songs churned out during this month-June then play around the city as well.
>>64725131
>>64734574
Thanks man, whipped up some quick blues with it:
http://picosong.com/BsdR/
I don't have an acoustic amp yet as I wasn't expecting to throw a pickup in my Larrivee, so this is what it sounds like through my MESA Lonestar, basically makes my Larrivee sound kind of like a Telecaster's neck pickup.
>>64738055
Lol, just figure out the theory at your own pace and do as much as you can with what you know. The first band I was ever in was an electric blues band and the only scales I knew were the minor pentatonic and blues scales, but I got a lot of mileage out of both of them when constructing riffs and solos (and no one is better at re-mixing a blues scale than Omar Rodriguez-Lopez). Later I put together a death metal group and most of what I came up with for that band (I wrote virtually all of the music for guitars and bass) was based around harmonic minor and diminished scales.
This is the first minute of a VERY rough demo for a song we've been working on. I play the melody on keys:
https://clyp.it/gss4gy4b
The end of the track is actually really cool. There's a two-bar syncopated bass/guitar/keys line that repeats for about a minute, then the keys drop out, the bass and rhythm guitar play this really intense E minor groove while I play a short (guitar) solo based around a series of diminished licks, then the whole thing resolves right back into the syncopated part with keys/bass/guitars. I would have posted it but the low-end during that section caused my phone recording to clip big time.
I can't crop for shit
>>64738889
I like your set up anon do you have any pics of your JM
>>64737795
do a van halen guitar
>>64738914
>>64724885
Does /gg/ have an opinion on Rammstein? I love their basslines even though they're mostly very simplistic.
>>64729397
Wonderwall
>>64737193
understandable. the binding on that tele is stunning
>>64739862
Thanks anon.
I'll get a good amp soon enough. Trying to find a good deal on a DRRi, but it's tough
>>64740194
>DRRi
yeah i was looking for like half a year for one but couldn't find one under $600-700. ended up settling on a hot rod deluxe that i found for $350
>>64739187
Their drums are so recognisable. They somehow combine the sound of military agression with a bit of melancholy, which suits these Germans particularly well.
>>64740221
Yeah I might end up looking at that too
How do they compare? I've never played on a hot rod
>>64724885
Didn't get any replies yesterday, does anyone have experience with Bacchus Instruments? There is a Bacchus BJ Jazzbass copy on sale here locally, from the late 90s, made in Japan. I've heard quite a bit of praise, are they comparable to a mia or more like a Mexican fender? He wants 450 bucks for it. Also, a road worn Mexican fender jazz bass for like 400-450 as well and a TUNE bass for 350 (also mij with the original pickups). I really need to upgrade my current bass and I'd like to know which one of these sound like a good deal.
>>64740417
only played on a deluxe reverb a couple times but the hot rod sounds great. awesome clean tone. would like to hear them side by side to give you an honest comparison
>>64738992
Yup, that sure is a guitar.
>>64728051
>heavy as fuck tube amp sitting on a shitty looking stool
Hey, so I just started playing about a year ago, I currently have a squier strat and a mustang II amp
I was planning on buying a squier mustang, what would be a good amp combo to buy on the cheap? What about pedals? Any good all-in -one pedals? My friend owns one with a foot pedal and a ton of effects, but would it be better just to get a pedal board and buy the effects/tones/whatever I want?
Could someone give an estimate on how much all of this would be? I can get the squier mustang for about 250 nearby.
>>64741352
Wait, you already have a squier guitar and want to buy another one, plus an amp and maybe some effects?
>>64741352
I own a zoom 2020, cheap as fuck, made from glorious nippon steel and has a shit tonne of effects, plus seeing as its so cheap you can afford a tonecity distortion of some variant~
talking about £50 total here, if that
>>64736033
Thats how i feel about a guitarist, im a bassist whos into what your into but sadly i live in england my man
>>64733982
stay mad
>>64741825
but your collection is shit in comparison to mine, anon.
Bump
So did you guys all finish college?
Or are most of you still working your day jobs?
Do you have a lot of time to create and listen to music?
Someone tell me how bad my fingering is please.
https://youtu.be/r7ywY3xQuaA
>>64743493
I'm still in college, just started actually
My drummer friend and i play together every week, we need a guitarist though so i can stop having all the pressure put on me to lead the songs
>>64743493
I'm under conscription now, but I'm pretty much a failed soldier who has lots of time to meme on this lute playing thread.
>>64743493
Attending University, lots of free time. I just wish I was less of a lazy cunt and actually used it all for music and practice.
>>64743545
On one hand , it's good to exercise your pinky finger by using as often as you can. But since you're high on the neck, you should really use your ring finger instead. I don't see any flaws apart from that really.
This might sound weird but...
Whose your favorite guitarist waifu?
Mine is Orianthi.
>>64743493
>never finish
>start business quite by accident
>and despite myself, profit
Sometimes life just hands you the lemonade.
That said, you do have to see it coming and step into it's path.
>>64743720
>>64743695
Thank you. Need to practice more with my ring finger then
Now that I have these Mesa cabs I kind of want a mini recto. Anyone go any experience with them?
>>64729504
not true
you simply bend the end of the string with your finger to make a hook. Restringing bigsby's is easy.
They do not cause any more tuning issues than other tremolo systems sans locking types. 95% of tuning issues are caused by strings binding at the nut and most guitars do not have well cut or lubricated nuts. Cut the nut right and put some pencil tip shavings in the slots or some other lube and they are very stable tremolo systems.

>>64733982
Im good on everything except for a decent guitar, I like the look of the RD but its way beyond my budget, I might swap out the DD20 for a DL4 though
>>64744148
You might keep an eye on Japan sites like buyee.jp where Roland tape delays are easy to score pretty cheap.
I also kinda want that analogue outfitters tremolo too if it weren't so expensive.
>>64744302
yeah...sucks that they are so expensive. I wonder if it's easy to make one, I think its just the vibrato unit taken out of a hammond organ and rewired for use with guitar.
>>64743500
Tell me about your fiddle.
>>64744348
I kinda think the whole aesthetic is a major part of the high price. Might be a fun project. A guy on a gear site I hang out at bought one, seems like he's pretty happy with it.
>>64744302
>buyee.jp
wow, you aint joking
theres two 301s on it right now for $350-400
they're usually $1000-1500 in the US
>>64744478
Yeah, I've bought a bunch of gear from there. The fees arent too bad either. Check out the prices on Binson echorec too, pretty awesome deals to be had.
>>64744547
wtffff
288 dollars for an echorec
i can't make out the engrish though, dunno if it functions
are you talking about the yahoo japan auction or is there more? I can't seem to work this site that well.
>>64744435
Same guitar, same color combo, except I've got the mother of pearl pick guard. Honestly, I'd rather just have a flat white.
>>64743836
Friend of mine gigs with one exclusively now - doesn't use his dual recto anymore.
Sounds great and since his band always mics up, it's actually easier to get a great sound without the extreme volume
>>64744660
Uhhh, I pretty much stick to buyee anymore. There are other brokerage services or whatever they are called that do the same thing with similar fees. It's just a middle man for I think the yahoo auction, you buy it through them...the item is shipped from the seller to their warehouse, and when you at ready the warehouse ships it to you. Pro tip, warehouse will hold your item(s) until you are ready...so if you are buying other stuff from other sellers etc. you can take as long as you want and then have it all shipped at once to save on the final shipping cost. I've just copy pasted to translate stuff.
>>64744368
Don't know much about violins. I know it's Chinese, and I got it for 31 euros including bow, hard case, and resin. The violin itself was 10 euros. Breaks my balls to tune it but I changed the strings and it doesn't sound like shit any more. I'm considering getting one of those stickers that show where the frets would be until my fingers get used to the smaller distance between notes.
>>64744821
those stickers are a godsend for someone learning violin. Just make sure you place them right
also violin is pretty much the hardest instrument to learn, good luck
>>64743500
cool cool
cool underage plz ban
