I'm just a lowly mobile poster these things are hard to deal with.
Just got a ton of stuff in the mail, pics when I get home. Gonna be doing some fretwork and modding today too if I get off work on time, pics to follow.
Picked up a uber rare Sonic Crayon Anti-Nautilus v1 the other day. Its a pretty incredible granular delay with pitch shifting. I recorded this clyp when i first hooked it up to make sure it wasn't DOA, ran Ziggy Stardust through it and went through the range of all the knobs. Some really great time stretching, and glitching and sound on sound layering, and lo-fi sounds etc.
https://clyp.it/ntgrxjjo
Also recorded this clip going through the buffer and break knob range, pretty incredible.
https://clyp.it/ighlxdue
Found a great combo stacking two granular delays. A Red Panda particle into a MASF possessed. Also ran the step sequencer CV out from a Koma ft201 into the expression control on the particle, it controlled the probability of direction of the playback to the grains.
Here's a little clip of the combo.

Looking for a good deal on a Selmer Treble and Bass 50 head. There was a nice condition mkI at GC that already had caps replaced but they wouldn't move on the price.

>>64746809
its really fun playing for people. just practice and have a good time, no reason to get stressed out.
rate my cover lads
http://picosong.com/Bwx3/
>>64746809
Just get 2 folk songs down that people can sing to. No need to try anything other than easy strummers.
Not sure I like my pick guard shape, I tried placing some black vinyl to change the shape.
does it look any better? what might make it look better?
>>64747098
I'd try to cover that gap between the bridge hummer similar to the gap between the neck hummer and pickguard....so it runs parallel with it instead of at that angle like it looks, or at least a smaller gap.
I got some feedback and recommendations for vocal exercises a couple months ago, and I've been practicing every day since. Progress is very slow but I'd like to ask if any of my senpaitachi have any pointers based on the following. I've also been working on expanding the range I'm most comfortable singing in. I know I started off a bit shakey bit the second verse is a bit stronger. At one point I run out of breath which is pretty pathetic, but I'm working on it.
https://clyp.it/po44jsro
You guys' feedback is solid gold to me.
>>64747098
Which is new? The left has cooler humbuckers, but the right has weird humbuckers so I guess that's the newer one. I think I prefer the left, sorry to say. Good job on it though, looks tidy.
I need honest opinions on VM Jazzmasters.
About to downgade from pic related.
LTD EC1000 or BW-1?
Both are available for the same price but it looks like the signature one is better value with the evertune bridge, I'm not sure what the BW1 is like to play though and no stores near me have them to play, I tried out the EC1000 and loved it and I'm pretty sure they should have the same neck but I can't find anything about the weight or how it would be to hold.
Any advice on how to get an idea for how they would compare?
>>64747338
Squier - "Just okay for the priceā¢"
You might need fretwork and they only really accommodate medium strings, but it looks and feels like a jazzmaster. The price is not great but as far as I know there are no decent jazzmaster clones by other companies. Truthfully, you are better off with a different brand since you're probably going to want fretwork and a pickup upgrade anyway, but since there's no alternative that looks like a jazzmaster you might find it worth it.
>>64747324
the one on the right is new, it came from the factory with Lace Alumitones. neat pickups but I prefer the sound of traditional humbuckers. I will probably put chrome caps on them after I change the pots, it is slightly on the muddy side right now and caps would push it over the edge.
>>64747406
I'm going full maymay. I'm not very happy with the PRS and I can use the downgrade monies.
>>64747338
>>64747461
kinda similar to my 89 cu24 ten top. what don't you like about it? pretty hard to beat their versatility when it comes to sounds, at least with the one i'm playing.
>>64747461
Now that I think about it, Xavier makes a jazzmaster. Good deal, comes with the same bridge and vibrato design. I'd do that. Both the Squier and the Xavier MIGHT not need fretwork but your chances with one are as good with the other, i.e. slim. The headstock on the Xavier is actually really fucking cool, I didn't know about that. Obviously they come with gfs pickups so they're a step above squier in terms of sound.
>>64747098
one of these maybe?
>>64747553
agreed for the most part but I can't really use the trem (which is kind of a big deal) and sound-wise although it's very usable it just can't replace a single coil guitar (or something like a les paul for that matter). coil tapping would help but i don't have money to do any upgrades rn
>>64747610
i don't come across many jazzies where i live so i'll try it out and if it really needs a fretwork i'll just drop it because it would cost me most of the money i'd get downgrading
xaviers may be good for what i know but no way of trying one out so i won't risk it
plus the headstock is hideous
>>64747849
yeah that looks better. hmmm, horizontal between the pups i think. the little tail below the bigsby could be thicker instead of getting skinny. i think maybe a horizontal line thats in as far as the the edge between the pups, filling in the same space from the edge as the rest of the guard.
>>64746809
Play some Ramones. Blitzkrieg Bop literally takes only 4 power chords to sound great and do the whole song. I Wanna Be Sedated is similar, and it also has a solo where you just repeat a single note. You'll seem like a genuine rockstar.
>>64747916
Honestly the squier will need the same amount of work, you shouldn't assume it won't, the fretwork will be at best passable. It's not going to cost you $200 to get fretwork done anyways. If you don't like the headstock I get it, though honestly most headstock designs look a lot better than most people think on first blush, since anything different automatically looks "wrong" on a classic design. But once you get past that they can be just as good if not better than the fender fin design.
I don't think it's wise to settle for mediocre fretwork just because your going for a cheap guitar... It's not worth putting up with. If you get the squier, level it.
>>64747985
thanks ... I'll play around a little more
>bought myself an entry level guitar and combo amp for my birthday
>thought it would be really fucking cool to learn to play some shit
>it isn't
>constant clusterfuck with everything going wrong, and I haven't even touched any music theory
I'm getting a real huge case of regret over here. How do you guys find the motivation to keep on playing and learning?
>>64748370
learn songs as much as possible, learn theory gradually as you feel like it. Eventually you'll WANT to learn theory. In the meantime, fuck it. Learn some heavy riffs, learn some easy punk songs, goof around, whatever. Don't force yourself to practice when you don't want to. When you listen to music keep an ear out for things that sound easy to play. Learning some of your favorite songs is the perfect gateway to guitar addiction.
>>64748370
say hello to JustinGuitar, learn some strumming patterns and the basic chords. don't even think about doing complicated songs until you've finished the courses.
>>64747098
the one with the alumitones looks better
did you get rid of those for those low budget looking humbuckers?
>>64748370
Don't get too hung up on being bad, everyone starts somewhere and there's no shame in it either. Take pride in your failures, because somewhere out there someone bought a guitar and amp, tried to learn and gave up after a week and put it on ebay. You can persevere.

Nice, thanks. He has some incredible gear.

>>64748845
That's exactly the sort of guitarist that I hope to become one day. Instead of trying to be some pretentious neo-classical wanker shredding scales and arpeggios all day at over 9000 bpm, he just plays nice, chill shit and gives zero fucks about anything.
>>64749093
that's the difference between a musican and a guitarist
Anybody else play with a MWFX Judder? I love this thing, a sample based glitchy delay that does all sorts of different things/sounds. Here is one particular setting i found, does a sort of arpeggio on the repeats and then i dial up the sound on sound layering towards the end.

>>64749425
If there's actually someone else in this thread with that pedal I will literally eat my hat on stream
>>64749570
Gearspammer has it, unless it's him posting already
>>64749570
I had the blue Judder, I just sold it yesterday though
cool pedal, I could never find any use for it though.
>>64746877
I like your sound and playing.
Haven't heard the song before I think... which one is it?

Get some bbq for that hat. Based gearspammer.
>>64749658
fug, that would have been hilarious
Here is the Big Metal Judder next to the original Judder, the controls are a little different between the two and in some ways they are different pedals. The Big Metal also has expression control over the BPM.

>>64750746
Wouldn't that be surf? Get your memes right
>>64747338
Why do you think you want a Jazzmaster?
>>64750775
Surf with distortion is black metal though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymGo2q-SSOw
>>64750291
When you say dynamic variation what exactly do you mean? I need to be louder and softer at different parts? I thought I kind of achieved this at later parts of the clip, but it wasn't my primary goal , I was just dicking around while stoned.
>>64750406
thank you, you think I should just clean up the tone on it? drop the treble or gain maybe?
>>64750251
I know, but I like large messy sloppy sounds. I normally just play guitar with a drummer so I try to fill out as much sound as I can. Are you against messy in general or have I just performed it poorly here (not that I think it was well done, it's just improv)?
I've got a 400-500 dollar budget right now, should I spend it on a MIM Jazzmaster Bass or a proper Fender Jazzmaster?
I have a white VMJM right now, I love it to bits but I'm wondering what I'll get if I try to sell it and use the money to upgrade to a proper Fender Jazzmaster. Is the difference going to be great enough to justify the time/hassle/not getting a bass instead?
Okay, I'm a bassist and I'll be having a post-rock-ish shoegaze-ish session this week.
I have a vox stomplab multi-pedal, and I'm planning to get ableton live on my macbook.
My questions: What sound should I go for? I'm thinking something ambient-like tone, some reverb, maybe a delay, and some fuzz for the crescendo parts.
What experience do you guys have with live performance with a laptop as an effect/amp sim?

>>64749742
Is there an envelope?
Hey, I've been playing acoustic guitar for 2 years now, and I want to buy myself an electric one, so I have a few questions:
>Where do I start learning jazz (and maybe gypsy jazz)?
>What's the best jazz/rock/blues guitar?
>How good is a Fender Telecaster in the above genres?
Thanks in advance
>>64751119
>not playing with two amps
>shiggy
>>64751269
Please don't buy a telecaster. Its the meme of the electric guitar
>>64751269
Get a semi hollow
>>64751269
>>64751327
Don't listen to this man, a Telecaster is great for any genre, they just have a distinct thin sound
>>64751327
What should I buy then? Oh, and besides those genres, I'd also like to experiment with shoegaze
>>64751449
Thanks
>>64751327
Huh? I thought the real meme was the Jazzmaster.
>>64751449
Why would you want thin if you want to play jazz and blues.
>>64751499
Jazzmaster is good for jazz and essential for shoegaze.
>>64751526
But muh vibrato
>>64751269
It kinda sucks to say because I'm sure you'd like to narrow your choices down but pretty much any guitar can be used for jazz. And honestly, it's a genre where it's hard to even prefer one guitar over another once you're competent with EQ. However I will say that for some blues and jazz tones having a p90 is useful.
So, I'll give you the same advice I give everyone buying their first guitar which is to get at least two kinds of pickups in your guitar, with the addendum that a p90 is probably a good idea in particular for you, though you should let your own opinion and bias be the final judge.
>>64751499
>Where do I start learning jazz/gypsy jazz
jazzguitar.be is a good source. No one plays gypsy jazz on an electric, though.
>What's the best jazz/rock/blues guitar
I'd say a Tele Deluxe would cover all those genres nicely.
You need to go to a guitar store, plug into a nice amp and decide if you prefer humbuckers or single coils.
>>64751269
Sounds like you want an archtop.
The best one you can buy for price to performance is probably the Epiphone Emperor. The Joe Pass sig is hardtailed if you're not into whammy.
>>64750712
The clipping is just on/off basically and that's just an extra set of clipping diodes. Otherwise its a strange kind of opamp overdrive. It doesn't get super dirty or anything however I'm still learning more about it. You can get more clipping out of it the more you boost the bass/treble.
>>64751534
yeah no one uses the jazzmaster for jazz. It's good for alternative music. Noise and indie music
>>64751659
>epiphone
>best price/performance
>>64751747
>no one uses the jazzmaster for jazz
right
>>64751747
>noise and indie music
The genres in which literally any guitar will do.
The Jazzmaster sound is complete shit. I'm embarrassed for anyone who would spend $1000 on a Fender Jazzmaster
>>64749990
seth rogen pls go
>>64751844
i guess nobody uses a tele for jazz either
Asking this again since I didn't get enough answers in the previous thread:
I'm a bedroom player and almost always play through my multifx pedal, looking for an amp since the old one I have sucks fucking shit. Should I get a Roland Cube or an Orange cr? Or maybe save up some more money and get a Micro Terror?
>>64746809
Just tell him you don't want to.
>>64751881
i've seen more tele jazz players that jm players. Also
>>64751844
>>64751881
lmao i don't even know what to type back other than what I said was obviously and exaggeration and both of you were so eager to fetch a picture. calm down
>>64751659
I tried the joe pass sig once in a shop, the neck felt really awkward, I think it was the most narrow neck I've ever tried.
>>64751844
>>64751881
Honestly you can play most genres with anything, just tweak the knobs and you're set. But that alone seems too hard for some players.
>>64751534
>>64751578
>>64751585
>>64751659
>>64751747
thanks for the feedback, guys. One more question: should I start learning jazz with my acoustic guitar, or should I wait until I have decided and bought an electric one?
>>64752095
Wait, you mean to say those weird round twisty things actually do something? Shit senpai, I thought they were for decoration or something...
>>64752178
start with acoustic. your fingers can only improve with the increased tension and string gauge. Then chords would be faster to change
>>64751913
Combo is always better price/performance these days. Don't get a micro.
Orange crush is okay but it sounds hella similar to the marshall SS amps, just a lot prettier looking. Marshalls do take fx well. I can't comment on how well the crush takes pedals.
>>64744482
Reposting my thread:
I want to start a band and i think a bass would do for me, i already play guitar, i like jangle-pop, dunedin sound, lo-fi, punk & garage. I don't need an expensive bass, but a good bass for sure, and something with a cool vintage look.
I will play it like a guitar because i'm frenzy & silly & i don't care. I just want to have fun with someone.
Not too expensive. Under 900 USD.
P.S. no, that in the picture is not a bass.

>>64752178
just play on your acoustic since you already have it
why not
>>64752319
just go get your frets leveled. Tah dah, you've got a better guitar than a fender.
>>64752339
Yeah, not too bad i think, i play a jazzmaster, maybe i'll go for a used mustang, are they pretty cheap, right?
If I would buy a cheap squier, but not a too cheap, just around the 300 bucks. And put new pickups in it. Would it be a decent guitar or do I really need to pay a 1000 dollars for a good guitar?
Why is fender holding out on an american standard jazzmaster when it would make them so much indie $$$?

>>64752596
>american standard jazzmaster
They have the American Vintage ā65 Jazzmaster
>indie
>$$$
kek, most indie twinks are poorfags, see usual /gg/ banter
>>64752420
Depends on who levels the frets, you're still risking running into an incompetent fuckface.
Like that anon with a fender elite with compound radius who had his guitar completely fucked because the person who leveled the frets thought it was a regular radius.
>>64752481
You won't get an incredible guitar, but it'll make it work good enough for gigs.
And you can keep the pickups when you change guitar, as long as it's the same routing and number of strings.
>>64752272
$900 is a comfortable budget if you consider the used market.
I suggest pic related because it looks cool and plays well. Heavy as fuck though
>>64752605
Meh, better than expected. If you think of something else, leave a reply, i will read it tomorrow.
>>64752794
Yeah, seems heavy as fuck, but thanks for the suggestion, will check it tomorrow.
what is the general opinion on the bugera V22? i want something that gets that bugera sound but is louder than 5 watts.
>inb4 the 'le melting bugeras' meme
>>64752956
>that bugera sound
>>64752956
Define "that bugera sound"
>>64753290
somewhere inbetween a fender and a marshall
>>64753329
I can't say I like the V22 since it suffers from the same problems as all bugeras do but it sounds very nice. I'd buy it if it was more reliable.
>>64753535
what would you think is an amp that comes close to the sound profile but is higher quality? i'm willing to spend more money if i have to
>>64748879

Hot Rod Deluxe III VS Deluxe Reverb 65' Reissue
Thoughts? Is the latter worth the extra 100s of dollars?

You realise classic Marshalls are just modified fenders ? Their chassis are really similar.
>>64753744
Apparently it is.
I'd get a DR second hand for the price of a HRD new.
>>64753775
you do realize you are on 4chan?
>>64753775
>>64753844
I was thinking about getting an archer ikon, is it worth or are there any other cheaper pedals that can get that nice fat distortion?
>>64753675
I'm highly interested by the new Bassbreakers amps Fender is proposing. They might be what you're looking for but I've yet to try one. Vox AC15 alo comes to mind.
I had this 12 string neck on a VM jag body for a while, I had screwed the bridge position up and butchered the body trying to bootleg it to a correct spot. Ordered a new telemaster body for it and gave the head this paint job. I used glitter in tha paint. Looks dope.
>>64753843
i think he means both used. it's literally double the price used
>>64753744
Hot Rod Deluxe will take pedals better, DRRI will sound better guitar strait to amp
DRRI is a classic sound. They sound really awesome. Hot Rod Deluxe are more of a compromise, they sound pretty good (at least the clean channel does, drive channel is kinda wack) but not quite all the way there to a really nice classic fender sound.
>>64753775
early JTM45s were derived from the Bassman circuit but they sound more unique than they do similar. They have different phasing, impedance, transformers in the Marshalls were larger, different power tubes.
>>64753976
Also, the AC10 sounds really nice, those are pretty cheap used and not a huge pain in the ass like AC15s to move around and they are still really loud, but also have a master.
>>64754372
for the sake of comparison, yeah, lets say the DRRi is double the price
Best SS amp for under $200?

what makes the HRD a better pedal platform?
Also, how do you think the upcoming Bassbreakers will compare with the two?
>>64754586
i saw a DDRI on craigslist a bunch of time for $600-700. got my HRD for $330, great condition.
where do you live?
>>64754523
those multi effects things are kinda common for entry level guitarists to get, then after a while they ditch them for individual pedals when their tastes/interests get more focused
never heard that one, boss makes good stuff.
you'd probably have fun with it
>>64754523
It's decent, I personally never really liked it.
Preferred the Zoom G5.
>>64754573
I like it because it doesn't have a digital display, so no scrolling through endless options. Don't know about the sound quality
>>64754638
new england
maybe 6-7 years ago I'd occasionally see DRRIs in the 700 dollar range. Usually around 800 now used.
>>64754614
DRRIs are pretty scooped EQ wise (thats a big part of blackface fenders sound), pedals like lots of mids/flat EQ to latch onto. HRD has more mids. No mid control on a DRRI and certain pedals can sound a bit tinny or weak through a DRRI whereas with an amp with more mids they sound really good and full.

GT100 user here.
I prefer the GT100 because of the screen, which TOTALLY is worth the money. It allows you to use your patches in "pedalboard mode" as I call it, you can know which patch you are in much faster, you can actually use it on stage.. I think it has a billion times more features. IMO the GT80 is not worth it because you don't have as much control over your effects as you would have with a pedalboard. For recording it's fine though, but I would use the Boss computer software to change my stuff around. I hated that on my ME20, checking which knob is for what setting etc.
>>64754756
i live in new england as well. not sure about the price difference
>>64754756
I see. I guess I'll have to try them both.
I might just wait for the bassbreaker, mids sound really tight
>>64754756
How does an amps tone stack in any conceivable way have an effect on the signal from the guitar that a pedal sees? I mean I know you guys are all full of shit, but come on
I got a Blueridge, which sounds pretty decent for its price. Also got a cheap strat.
I need some advice. I can play fine and I also know the theory behind making solos and stuff.
I'm just wondering where to go from here. I usually play by myself and most songs are piss easy. I'm not sure how to challenge myself.
>>64754845
how does that not make sense to you?
Amps have inherent EQ characteristics, pedals have EQ characteristics. It's much easier for a pedals effect to come through and be pronounced if the EQ of what the effect is going into has a flatter curve so parts of it are not lost in an EQ scoop
>>64754845
Not him but the guy that asked him to answer and you're taking this the wrong way completely
Ever try playing say a tubescreamer through an amp with no mids. Sounds thin as hell and just bad most of the time. Some pedals just don't sound good with some amps because of their eqs.
So I'm gonna put some covers on these humbuckers, does it limit my choices of the covers because these pups don't have those screws? Should I go with those "frameish" open covers or those that have like 2 long holes for each coil? I'm not completely sure.
anyone used a digitech space station, thoughts?

>>64755070
Why do you want to cover them?
>>64755070
well you definitely don't want standard covers but there's plenty of covers that'll look okay. Use your own judgement.
>>64755548
So they would fit the cosmetics of the guitar
>>64755760
You can get some plain ones, shouldn't affect the magnetic field too much. Or get some with holes drilled for normal humbuckers but I think those would look worse since there won't be any screws.
Is this meme already dead?
>>64756019
yea sort of
>>64755760
be aware, metal covers change tone. If you don't desire the tonal affect of covers you can use a cover that isn't metal. Chrome plated should also have no impact. Covers aren't good or bad for tone but they change it. You may prefer the tone of a cover.
Are there cheap pickup companies besides gfs and caliguitar that make notable pickups? I like to experiment with pickups and not be broke.

3 years, started because my high school pep band needed a bassist, and I just so happened to have inherited a bass.

>>64756485
Thanks guys. I'm a bit bummed to discover a lack of noiseless designs from these guys apart from the normal humbucker approach. I guess I'll have to keep waiting for gfs or calig to make a noiseless tele bridge. I guess I could always try to mount a strat pickup in there with some trickery.
Posted here yesterday about a problem I had with the microphonic tubes I had, I got new tubes and my amp is back to its former glory! Thanks you to whoever it was that helped me I really appreciate it.
>>64756592
Are the 2 and 4 positions noiseless like on a strat?

Also Dragonfire makes a set, they're kind of a custom shop so I'm sure they would just sell you the bridge pickup.

Not true, that was only the case way back in the day and only for their cheapest pickups. They've stepped up their game and offer lots of higher end pickups now.

Artec is a wholesaler that produces pickups for shitloads of companys
Dragonfire and GFS do not produce their own pickups, they are Artec made pickups.
>>64757098
Do something to occupy your mind, like building a pedal or anything unrelated to /gg/. Also, get that glorious orange amp for your rick. Glad to hear from you senpai.
>>64753951
Can we once and for all decide that "overdrive" is somewhere between a light, attack-sensitive breakup of the amp to a warm and crunchy rock 'n roll grit; whereas "distortion" is anywhere from slightly crunchier than that to all-out seething, gain-saturated mayhem?
>>64757098
Make a song about it :^)

Are Dragonfire actually good? I was looking at getting some of their Hot Rails without paying Seymour Duncan prices.
>>64757030
I'd rather get an SD at that point, worth the tone. I must be fucked in the head to suddenly not care about $15 when I'm trying to save money but there you have it. I wonder why I prefer the sd tone so much. I'm familiar with the SD's design and specs but not the Fender's. I guess I'll look into the fender specs to see if I'm fooling myself.

shit's all I know
>>64757572
there is no issue, I've bought some 'artec' labeled pickups and I've bought some GFS pickups. They are all pretty good sounding. GFS mark up on rebranded pickups is very small, you might save 4-5 dollars buying the Artec one over the GFS.
GFS does have some of its own designs, but the factory that makes them is owned by Artec (its in Korea)
basically, just look for 'Alnico'
If the pickup has alnico magnets, its usually going to sound pretty decent. You can even switch out ceramic magnets in cheapo pickups for alnico ones for a couple dollars. You need to have a big ass magnet though to charge them.
>>64757753
>aimless depression sucks
Yes mate... I feel you, I have been going through phases too. Been depressed a long part of my life and kinda sucks. The only time I felt truly happy it's buried in the past now.
My biggest help has been going to the gym and lifting, that serotonin burst and overall relaxation and accomplishment really turns the tide over the sadness and emptiness I feel inside from time to time. You feel better because you did something to improve or at least you did something good with yourself, if you get into a routine you kinda feel that you are going somewhere and it's kinda fun.
As for finding the motivation, it's not a matter of thinking it too much, that will never get you off the ground, it's a matter of just going and doing shit without thinking it twice.
Wish I could be of more assistance, mate. I wish you all the best.

I dont want to go into too much detail, but basically my mother died when I was 12 of cancer, and then all through highschool I got bulled to shit and back, put on weight, let myself and others down by not performing as well as I should have, resulting in a lost scholarship to my expensive highschool, then since I finished that I havent done anything with my life. shit sucks and all my friends from back then are now done with uni and are being successful and im just here doing nothing being a waste of space.

I'm not really good at it but on a good day I'll pull it off; you have to kinda use the wrist for the double thumb part.
I'm not exactly sure of if you need the thumb to bend outwards, but mine does when I use double thumb on guitar.
I don't know if you watched it but there's an official video of it on youtube.

i guarantee you will not get better unless you distract yourself and stop thinking about how you need to get better. it will take a period of retraining your mind and it's honestly hard to find the motivation for it, but it's worth it.
