What memes does this general have?
Also first for memes
>>65754536
/gg/ has the dankest riff memes, kid.
>>65754536
We have birds and meme machines.
What did /gg/ think of the new Chili Pepper album, what do you think of Josh Klinghoffer as a guitarist?
I've been a fan of John and Josh for years so I will always be biased.
>Tfw autism
>have never lost a pick
>if and when I do I compulsively search for it until it is found
How should I feel about this?
>>65754160
I wanna put a stencil on my amp's grill. A little paint getting on the cones wont hurt anything, right?
>>65754881
Back when I was a edgy heavy rockrrrrrr I painted my Roland Cube's grill black with spray paint. Didn't affect the amp any way, except looked kvlt as fuck. Keep in mind that the grill in Cube is metallic tho
>>65754536
Harshed mellows is the only good one.
>>65754881
Dont get paint on your cone ya dingus.
>>65754905
Is that our best one? Damn, that all started with a comment I made too.

I generally feel the same why, but sometimes you see a nice one like David Gilmours.

>mfw i see a stratocaster or telecaster with a rosewood fretboard

>Sunburst Les Paul Standards
Should I buy a Rickenbacker 4003 or a Fender American Standard Precision Bass? I will play both before deciding.
>>65756526
I think id go for the Rick, what style of music you play?
>>65756526
I'd go with the Pbass, but I'm biased because I already own a 4003.
>>65756526
4003 if you're looking for versatility.
>>65756631
Mostly stoner rock and jazz but a lot of other genres.
>>65754569
did somebody say mememachine?

Turns out long and mcquade had my guitar setup and ready the whole time. They just never called me to tell me, I don't blame them.

hey /mu/ what's your opinion on Eastwood guitars and this model in particular?
http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/sidejack-dlx-black/
>>65758176
Great question.
>tfw falling for the Gibson LP meme
Is there any reason not to get a Tube Screamer?
>>65758463
i can think of a few:
1) being too poor
2) preferring different OD circuits
3) not using overdrive at all
4) not using pedals at all
5) using your amp's OD
>>65758598
6) Hating green colored pedal

my dick is diamonds
can't wait till these come out
>>65758176
really expensive for what they are
all the hardware is bottom of the barrel budget shit but they still charge prices like they are a higher end/more well established Korean guitar
they always redo really cool and esoteric guitars, just wish they were build like 800-1000 dollar guitars instead of 300 dollar ones
hey brothers, electric cello guy here
I want to buy cables for absolutely everything, since I have almost nothing. this means:
>cable from instrument to amp
>cable from amp FX loop send -> pedal
>cables from pedals -> pedals
>cables from pedals -> FX loop return
What kind of cables am I looking for, I don't even know the terminology? like what brand do you recommend?
>>65757059
Anyone? I've never really played a P bass
>>65759223
these are all standard instrument cables
mono 1/4 jacks
that's it
I like planet waves classic or the ones with the golden plug, they're the only ones worth getting in their lineup
>>65759296
sometimes I see cables to pedals with fancy plugs like pic related, those are just standard mono 1/4 too? Just in a different format?
thanks brother
>>65759378
All the same with different looks
>>65759223
>>65759296 this
if the cable is not going to be plugged/unplugged frequently just buy the cheapest you can get
if the cable will be tossed around frequently spend a little extra on something sturdy (pic related go on my gigbag but maybe there are cheaper options for you)
>>65759378
none of those are fancy
those are all cheap right angle jacks that wind up breaking after 1 week
>>65759378
those are 90 degree angle plugs
it's the same cable, but with an angled plug so it fits better on certain instruments and/or pedals
for your pedals, you need patch cables. those are little 1/4 jack cables that usually measure less than a foot and usually come with those plugs pictured. you might wanna check if your pedals have the in/out on the top though, and get a straight angle jack for those.
i'm pretty sure the fx send/return uses 1/4 cables too.
you're welcome m8
do you have a 9v power supply for your pedals too?
>>65759429
>cheap right angle jacks that wind up breaking after 1 week
i bought pic related from a chinese ebay seller for like $2 a year and a half ago and they're still going strong
took like a month to ship though
>>65759512
I saw that.
>>65759549
call the 4chan police
idgaf
>>65759444
>do you have a 9v power supply for your pedals too?
No, I assume I will need one? I've only tried stuff out in stores and wasn't paying much attention to the setup
>>65759223
instrument cable is shielded because the signal is really weak and would otherwise pick up a lot of noise. There are patch cables which are just instrument cable in lengths of a few inches to a foot.
Speaker cable is just cable. You could cut any cord in your house and use it as a speaker cable given you attach the plug ends or solder it to a speaker and amp.
ebay has cheap cables. just search instrument or patch cable and add the term "lot" Get like 6 for a twenty.
>>65757524
And they did a pretty good job for a free setup.
Fretboard is clean af now, frets polished, pickup height adjusted, somehow fixed the output jack, electronics aren't buzzy
any suggestions on replacement saddles? (the screws just fell apart on E/A and a thread for the E saddle, when intonating a new set of strings) the shit tier ones from and old pawnshop bass work, and i can get intonation, but i'd like to replace them with something less gawdy, that and i can;t get as low of an action as id want
>>65759792
Why is shielded cable bad for linking an amp to a speaker then? I get that the signal is hot and the shielded cable might take a hit but I don't understand why the amp itself would be at risk.
>>65760470
Because capacitance is a component of impedance. So you're altering the load.
idk what you mean by hot. But the signal driving your speakers has enough current and voltage that from a practical standpoint it is impervious to noise.

whats wrong with rosewood
>>65759130
Always wanted one of these
>>65759223
Just standard instrument leads. Could use patch leads from pedal to pedal. Buy something you can open and fix yourself or some blank cable and neutrik jacks if you've used a soldering iron before.
I have game /gg/, play a riff from a song shittily and have others try to guess the song
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1YmpAY0hPs6
I've just got an electric guitar from a friend. I've only really dabbled with guitars when I was about 12 or so (I'm 19 now). I'd like to start but I don't really have an amp available for the time being. Is there an alternative way of playing without the amp?
>>65762216
unplugged or you can rest it on your desk or table
>>65762216
Fender MD20 Mini Deluxe is cheap and has the advantage of not just listening to yourself play unplugged.
>>65760149
Are the saddles beyond salvaging? sounds like you just need new screws.
need cool folky/fingerpick suggestions
>>65760149
get replacement saddles from gfs or amazon or ebay or stewmac or anywhere
is this a serious post come on man
>>65762766
speaking of gfs why are their pickups so amazing
>>65762708
is neofolk okay too?
>>65762887
sure
>>65762216
Yes it's called playing without an amp
>>65762900
cool
What's /gg/ thoughts on Yousician? I have been using it for a bit and I've got better at timing and picking, but when it comes to theory I then the apps falls short.
>>65763738
Their ads are so fucking loud. I think it's fucking gay and I will never do it simply because they had a huge ad campaign that annoyed me.
>>65758176
ugly and awkward
>>65759419
not exactly. when the green one dies, you can't fix it. When the pancake or the big right angle one dies, you can open it up and repair it.
>>65759422
I love those California cables.
>>65759512
I bought those about 2 years ago and none of them have broken but they're tacky as fuck so I've replaced them with black tweed ones that seem a lot sturdier and repairable.
>>65762708
learn Travis picking. Get some Townes Van Zandt songs down.
>>65763887
YOUSICIAN IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN, AND PRACTICE THE GUITAR
I hate the ads but that Takamine is so sexy that I think it influenced my choice to buy a bound necked acoustic.
I'm struggling a bit as the thngs I'm writing are rally complicated
like, keeping the rhythm and and melody and playing a extended improvisation
AND keeping an audience 'with it' is getting a bit daft
the main thing is people dig it
listening to Wes on Tequila (the album) I can understand the bass more, it's a faint hint for the listener as to what's going on
it's more for the audience really I think, take it away and it is at times total free jazz
Who invented this ''bass is easier than guitar'' meme???? Fuck off and die.
I'd been playing guitar regularly from about 5 years old until 15 without major struggles. Now I'm 20 and I've started getting back into music and picked up the bass recently, and while the stuff I'm playing isn't as technically challenging yet, the stretches you have to do to reach some chords feel like they're tearing muscles in my hand and my right hand is getting blistered all the fucking time.
>>65765001
sounds like vaginitis
>>65765001
>bass
>chords
>>65765001

so the hardest part about playing bass is building finger strength

Anyone really know about tone searching?
I've got a Grandmeister 36, a Traynor 2x12 with Celestion Vintage 30s, a SH2 in the neck and SH4 in bridge. My rhythm sounds fine, but lead stuff sounds honestly kind of weak. Pinch harmonics aren't as screaming as I'd like. Should I start considering an overdrive pedal like Boss's super overdrive, a distortion pedal, or something else?
>>65765788
multi-band EQ
>>65765788
Get hotter pickups.
>>65765906
Will look into it
>>65765938
Hotter than a Seymour Duncan JB? There's not that much left in terms of options. What suggestions do you have?
>>65765001
most bass riffs are easier to play than lead guitar
>>65765788
compressor first. in addition to compression it will give you a boost into your preamp for more drive. it's impossible to oversell the benefits of a compressor, really. after that, overdrive and eq.
