rondo wins again
>>66057806
But that's half the fun of these threads
Well, that's the thread folks. See you next time.

You seem to be confusing 4chan with /b/. Common newfag mistake.

>that pic
>>66058027
My friend and one time bandmate convinced me to get an MXR Fullbore Metal pedal. He was raving about it
Well, I got it but my shitty amp is a Line 6 Spider IV that I have because I live in a small apartment, can't be too loud
The pedal sounds like absolute dog shit played through that amp, so now I feel like I wasted 100 bucks on the pedal
This is why I lurk the rondo new items page. This image will serve me well for the rest of my life.
>>66058148
Every pedal is going to sound like dogshit through that amp, friend.
>>66058205
By the way, they're asking for comments. Be sure to tell Kurt how successful this product will be and that he should order as many of these as he can afford a loan for. He will surely sell them all and not go bankrupt.
http://www.rondomusic.com/product8752.html
>>66058205
>>66058294
how do you not see this is a terrible idea ?
>>66058148
lower the level of the pedal, modeling amps sometimes expect only a guitar level signal. A boost might fuck it up.
>>66058335
It's not a terrible idea because I hate rondo music with a passion for stealing fender and Gibson's designs. Fuck rondo, the Chinese are communists and we should not give them business.
>>66058392
It is a terrible idea, the fan looks way too extreme and uncomfortable, and the LP body is the opposite of ergonomic.
It's like adding salt and pepper in your milkshake and wondering why it's fucked.
I just got a used GCB-95 for free. Hasn't been touched since the 90s, doesn't do anything to the sound whatsoever.
Could it be because there's no battery in it? Could it need electronic parts cleaner? Resoldering maybe?
I'll investigate but I guess someone here had to deal with a similar case before.
>>66058489
>>66058519
Take pics of the inside and confirm you have the right adapter, then I might be able to help. Verbal troubleshooting is too tedious.
>>66058591
I'm just saying how it is, that guitar is shit.
And there's no real point to a fan on a 6 string guitar if you're tuning to standard.
>>66058655
Let me spell it out for you. It is a good idea to give positive feedback because the product will clearly fail, which is a good thing because rondo music is cancer and should not exist. Only companies that fender and gibson license should be able to make fender and gibson style guitars.
1. we flood kurt with requests "from retailers" who will buy at least 10 guitars
2. kurt orders 2000 horrible guitars
3. kurt is unable to sell any of them
4. eventual bankruptcy and suicide
5. no more poorfags shitting on my les paul
>>66058815
who gives a shit about your lespaul
that guitar's just shit and there's no more to it
there's thousands of shitty guitars and there's better things to do, like practicing
>>66058876
No matter how much you practice your shitty Chinese guitar will not sound as good as my Gibson.
>>66058984
wow good job you paid money for stuff now you have stuff
>>66058984
For 3 PU LPs, isn't the switching something like
Rhythm - Neck
Mid - Neck/ Middle
Treble - Bridge
Why not just switch to a six way switch/ Why don't they come standard? It's such a waste of potential.
Am I a trendy fag who may as well be on Sevenstring.org if I admit I really want one of these?
>>66059118
Me too
>>66059118
I want one ._.
>>66059118
Should you really care ? Why would you feel ashamed about wanting an ergonomic, lightweight and good sounding guitar ?
The only thing I'd add to it is maybe a few knobs and a piezo.
>>66058634
I just tried with a Visual Sound 9v, does this pedal need a special power adapter?
There's a battery but it's absolutely beyond empty.
>>66059191
/mu/ is one of the most insecure boards on 4chan
up there with /fit/ and /pol/
>>66058984
Another fake gibson. wonderful.
>>66059216
Looks alright to me, check the connections on the switch, hard to see in the pic.
I have no idea what the pedal runs on but I'm 100% sure you can google it. What I meant by "check that you're using the correct adapter" was not "ask me what adapter you should use."
im getting a used (bought 2012) fender strat mexican standard in arctic white with maple neck. love that setup visually. it's stock besides a zero fret saddle. does anyone know anythign about that? apparently those things are there to make open chords sound better because now every string is touching a metal fret.
>>66059405
Well, it works how it looks. Can be kinda hard to set up but if your intonation on the first 4 frets is good you're good to go. I like them.
>>66059363
Yeah I'll do it myself, just wanted to check if someone had the magic trick for this very common pedal.
>>66059460
are they easy to remove if i for some reason dont want it anymore? is there a hole in the fretboard or glue or something if i were to remove it?
>>66059118
I hate EMGs with a fiery passion and do not listen to metal... but I also want one.
>>66059216
Can you get a closer look at this? Use flash if possible.
>>66059280
>not adding /fa/ to that list
You should be ashamed for wanting that instrument. You should be ashamed for like le edgy metal in the first place.
>>66059601
That image of the /fa/ meetup always gives me a giggle.
I dress better than that, and I wear pyjamas to work.
>>66059565
If there's glue, you can take it out by rubbing the zero fret with a soldering iron, just be careful not to slip.
Looking at the picture yes it should be possible to remove it.
>>66059568
From what I've heard, 808X are okay, kinda bland but they work fine.
I wish there were more non-metal themed 8 strings.
>>66059565
Yeah, they're easy to remove. I don't recommend it though, it's a pretty desirable mod. There shouldn't be an visible damage. Worse case the back of the nut slot was filed a bit, which won't affect intonation and will work just fine with even a clumsy shim, but would be visible. Like I said though, this shouldn't be the case.
The difficult part of replacing the nut is cutting down the nut slots, but it's not too hard if you have the right tools and feeler gauges.
>>66059568
Strandbergs come with the EMG X series, which are much more versatile, and almost strat-y in their sound.
Which genre produces the worst-dressed musicians?
Most metalheads around here wear black jeans and black band shirts or camo shorts and comic book character t-shirts.
>>66059601
Oh yeah I forgot about /fa/
>>66059766
I'm pretty sure you're the guy who made that post about metalheads caring too much about what their amps look like.
>>66059766
How is this in any way related to guitar, bass, or music theory ?
>>66058205
Man. Rondo is almost like Ibanez at this point in that they'll try anything once.
>>66059898
Yeah that was me.

One's a diode. He wants to know the model number.
>>66060313
I see 239, might be 289 though.
I had no idea how bad my timing was until I got a looper pedal. I've had this thing for just a couple weeks and feel like I've already gotten much better.
My last demo with my partner is finished, exporting it now. The Tonal Recall is amazing and it was a really nice way of wrapping up things but it's time now to move on to something of my own now.
Anyway, I'm close of finishing my pedalboard but I'm still missing a chorus and or/a reverb. Had my eyes on the Strymon Flint but they're hard to come across to here in Brazil without paying a lot.
Now I saw that Boss is about to release the CE-2W Waza Craft chorus with a built-in CE-1 circuit and it has really been tempting me. All the samples I heard were amazing and I already love the JC-120 Chorus but I'm afraid it might be too much hype due to the collector rarity of the original CE-2 and maybe not that amazing. Anyone followed any of that?
>>66060614
Isn't it a bit inconvenient to have to press twice to stop?
>>66060540
It's always hard to tell if those are burnt out. A closeup will let us know for sure. Could just be the lighting making it look bad.
>>66061079
And here's the current pedalboard. Taking out the footswitch hopefully gives me enough space for two regular-sized pedals (at least one of them has to have top mounted jacks though, I'd guess) or one larger one, I reckon.
>>66061087
you can just test it with a multimeter.

the question is why play black metal
>>66061615
nigga you're always so quick to defend. Every time I see you post I know what's coming.
If you would just post what you wanted to talk about instead of your whole pedalboard each time, this wouldn't happen. Yeah, I know, you shouldn't get flak even if you DO post your whole board, but you should be prepared to ignore character attacks.
I don't know how you've been here so long and still can't act smart about this stuff.
And don't even start to say something like, "I was just doing it to make them mad :^)"

Literally the only things I said were things I wanted to talk about, 'nigga'. Read >>66061079 again and see why it's specifically regarding my pedalboard. I didn't just post it for the sake of it this time though I might do it sometimes because yeah, I like showing off when I get new gear of take new pictures.
I can ignore or reply to whomever I want. Seeing people getting upset about my posts is entertaining, though, and answering ensures more butthurt and revolted replies such as yours. I don't want to let it go.
It doesn't offend or disturb me so I'd rather have them keep coming.
It's your turn now to reply saying it's actually for another reason and/or post some dank memes.
I've got this shitty Epiphone Firebird. I fucking hate it.
I'd really like a high-end stratocaster.
Since my guitar is chinese, there's probably no use for changing pickups and bridge.

oops. upside down,
How do I maintain the body on pic related? It's looking a bit dry.
>>66062164
You can make any guitar great with a setup, fretjob, and pickups. I kinda doubt the bridge needs replacement. Is there something wrong with it?

It's not. The quality is absolutley horrible!
>>66062964
I dunno man. The fact that you think replacing a bridge will help kinds makes me suspicious that you would benefit from learning a bit more about guitars before your next purchase. I'm not trying to be mean, of course, but I know I was too quick to get rid of my first bass and I regretted it.
I want to make a super old school Charvel.
Question is what year should I go for? 79-80, 81, or 82?
79-80 has more slightly expensive hardware and a fancier 21 fret neck, 81 is slightly cheaper, 82 is an 81 with 22 frets (basically the MIA So-Cals).
Can anyone link me a good guide on amp settings, having a hard time figuring out how to dial in different songs
info guides are cool too if you have any
>>66061615

What do? I can't find any used ones on craigslist that aren't as expensive as buying a new one.
>>66059118
Have you tried one in person? Or at least something similar? Not sure I'd say I'd really want one just from looks/specs alone.
>>66063773

>>66062107
i had a shitty epiphone lp std for like 3 years. finally sold that piece of shit and got a fender strat mexican std. i dont even know why i wanted a lp in the first place, i guess buckethead makes it sound alright, but the epiphone stock pickups are so muddy and just are not tight like the ones in the real gibson thing. plus it was really uncomfortable playing it, the setup was horrible. i've come to hate that guitar over the years, so much so that i sometimes prefered to play on the shitty no name chinease copy strat that costs less than 100 bucks new. atleast the setup was okay on that one and it had that singlecoil sound, even though a really shitty one.
if you plan on keeping it get two high end pickups for like 100bucks each, or atleast get one. if the ones in that are anywhere close to the epiphone lp std ones then they are shitty as fuck
>>66063803
road trip
>>66063846
>>66063848
Yeah, it's interesting.
>>66063803
if you're starting out get a acustic. its easier to start with anyways. and by the time you know the basics maybe you have the chance to pick the one your dad gave you up. you can get okayish acustics for cheap, dont need an amp or audiointerface, and its better to start with. btw for beginner tutorial use justinguitar.com, he's good. and make sure to learn mustic theory on the side.
>>66063877
>price dictates quality
C'mon dude, actually know you want a scatterwound pickup if you're gonna shell out. Good pickups are not expensive anymore.
Can you guys link me to some good websites/videos for intermediate fundamental stuff? Like learning advanced chords/scale relationship etc.?
>>66063877
Buckethead's an absolute monster at guitar and plays the equivalent of a custom shop, 27" scale lenght LP. Of course you can't make a 24.75" epiphone sound like him.
That's like buying a Steinberger and wondering why you aren't suddently Allan Holdsworth
>>66063917
Well I mean, I DO have to get all my shit out of storage by next week anyways, so I guess I'll start then.
I do have a few concerns though. One, this guitar has been through like 5 different moves. I don't even know if it survived or works. And the second being that my pinky is kind of weird in the sense that I don't have very fluid motion in it. Like, when I extend it or retract it it's always popping forward or back. I don't know, it's hard to explain unless I record my hand. Basically, not very fluid movement. Is that something that just works itself out as I use the muscles?
>>66064058
I actually have an acoustic, but see above. Both instruments have been through several moves and I haven't checked on them in ages.
I was on that site as well, it said go electric based on my musical tastes in the FAQ.
>>66064202
>Is that something that just works itself out as I use the muscles?
Yup, my right pinky's stiff but the left's smooth.
A lot of guitarists don't even bother with it, but I think it's important to develop your pinky to get more range
>>66064140
http://www.justinguitar.com/
?
plus do some research yourself i guess. read musictheory tldr if you dont know much theory.
>>66064325
>being a guitarist
>not using the pinky finger
disgusting
>>66064195
yes of course not, but still the guitarist you like influences what gear you buy and you hope to get atleast somewhere close to their sound even with cheaper gear. but trust me the epiphone lp std doesn't even sound like the same instument.
>>66063682
Any more charts like this? These are great
>>66058048
Really makes you think.
>>66064678
What did he mean by this?

That's a bold guitar.
>>66064723
>no dadrock
Are you guys fags?
>>66064762
For you.
>>66064572
sure, but you're never going to get close to buckethead's sound on a regular Epi/Gibson LP, they're fundamentally different instruments
What would you guys consider as a perfect enough guitar in between the $250-$500 proce tag? I need to change the shitty one I have.
>>66064058
Starting on acoustic is a silly meme. Half of the people say you ought to learn on acoustic first because it's easier thanks to needing less precision, the other half saying start because you have to learn the hard way.
Honestly I think it's mostly just because people like the idea of hard work paying off, doing the the right way not the fun way, etc.
Personally I think you ought to start on whichever you want. We're talking about learning, having fun is going to make you learn quicker.
>>66064809
>proce tag
what did he mean by this?
>>66064723
where is my mind isn't a very dadrock song, being alternative and all. There's s lot of easy pixies songs, pick one you like.
>>66064870
I approve this post. Saying that you have to start in acoustic is like saying you first need to learn to drive a carriage before learning to drive a car. In fact, it produces detrimental habits like pressing too hard on the frets.
>>66064979
Pressing too hard on the frets isn't as bad as muting absolutely fucking nothing. Especially if you play distorted. Holy shit I want to punch people who do this
>>66063535
>nobody cares
>>66064809
you can probably get a used mexican standard strat for like 350 if you like strats. the mim ones have the best pricepoint when it comes to fender strats. you could get better pickups for another 200-300 bucks but honestly the stock ones are good enough to be used professionally and its more of a preference thing i think, a lot of people really like the stock ones.
but generally speaking most guitars in this pricerange will, unless you buy a used one which would be out of your range if bought new, have subpar pick ups. and pickups make up most of your sound. just put good ones in, its the most efficient way of making a guitar sound good.
>>66063682
turn the knobs until it sounds right
>>66064979
After years of stagnating on electric, spending a year playing acoustic exclusively did wonders for my playing. Not because acoustic is harder or easier, but because it encourages simpler styles that exercise the fundamentals and doesn't hide your mistakes.
>In fact, it produces detrimental habits like pressing too hard on the frets.
That's horseshit. It doesn't even make sense. "Too hard" is relative to fret size, which varies from guitar to guitar. Unless all of your guitars have the exact same fretwire then you're going to have to adapt when you switch between them anyway.
>>66064870
i was the one saying start acoustic and i did not do that myself and think it was a mistake. im not saying stick to it until you master it, but i started electric for example so i didnt pick up fingerstyle and started learning to play songs with powerchords and riffs and stuff and only later got around to the "basics" so to speak, open chords etc. i feel like i wasted time in the beginning.
>>66065047
I'm not that familiar with the various models, besides, aren't those expensive?
>>66063814
I have. It was my first time playing an 8 string guitar, so it took me a while to get used to, but the playability on it was insane. Had no problem with the fanned frets. The one I played had Lace pickups, which I wasn't a big fan of, to be honest. But that might have been the fault of the shitty amp the guitar store guy put me through.
I'll hopefully get one towards the end of the year, after I sell my seven string. I'll probably stick with the EMGs, maybe switch them out for some Fishmans down the line.
>>66065263
>That's horseshit. It doesn't even make sense. "Too hard" is relative to fret size, which varies from guitar to guitar. Unless all of your guitars have the exact same fretwire then you're going to have to adapt when you switch between them anyway.
the difference in pressure due to fret size is negligible compared to the difference caused by the difference in action
Just ordered an Ibanez RG421PB. What kind of meme did I fall for?
>>66065395
Action is based on fret size...
>>66058815
>Only companies that fender and gibson license should be able to make fender and gibson style guitars.
what a cuck
>>66065419
>implying it produces a difference that's even near that of an acoustic
>>66065415

>>66065500
>Not knowing you can change the action of an acoustic
>>66065391
Where do you live where stores have .strandberg* in stock?
>>66065500
checked
>>66065572
>implying normal acoustic guitars are able to get an action as low as a regular electric
Acoustics have lower string tension
>>66064809
A MiM strat, and if you need humbuckers, a used 80's Ibanez RG550
>>66065263
I think variety helps. I don't think how hard you press it dependant on fret size. The issue with pressing too hard is throwing your intonation off. Lighter strings will need a lighter touch because they bend easier.
Anyways, playing electric makes you a better acoustic player too.
Also playing guitar for a year can help :^)
>>66065587
My parents live near Edinburgh, so when I visit them, I like to check out the Guitarguitar there. As far as I know, it's the only place in the UK that has them.
>>66065639
You can still get lower action with them, low enough that it doesn't make much of a fucking difference when you pick up an electric.
>>66065266
I started on acoustic. I don't regret it but I don't think it helped me particularly. It certainly slowed me down from the beginning since it's harder on your newbie hands. The music I wanted to play was very difficult to play on my acoustic with poor action for more than an hour at a time.
I guess the thing I most benefited from was learning the value of stretching.
>>66065715
nice delusion
>>66065789
It's not delusion. Get your fucking guitar set up so it doesn't have mile high cheese grater action.
>>66065860
no
>>66065860
I'm not a dirty acoustic peasant, thanks.
The two of you arguing about electric vs acoustic setup NEED TO STOP. Each of you just keeps saying something ridiculously false, and the other takes it at face value because you ALSO don't know what you're talking about. It's painful to read, I don't have time to correct the last 6 or so posts, and you're going down a horrible spiral.
Just stop. Both of you, go do some reading and come back. At least you'll end up using the same terms to argue.
How the hell do you each believe what the other is saying? What the fuck is going on in this thread?
Do i do it

It's your money, anon, but I would personally save up for a scarlett
>>66065990
which one? 2i2 is something i've been looking at. why do you suggest scarlett?
>>66065946
Classic guitars don't have a truss rod and that limits the setup a lot, plus the scale and the string material makes it impossible to get an action as low as you get on a electric.
>>66065990
Also avoid the 2i2, get a 2i4 instead
>>66065948
ask /prod/
>>66066017
heard good things, and I know someone with the one you are looking at that has issues with it.
>>66066068
do you suggest staying away from the 2i2?
>>66066104
I have no experience, so I cannot help with certain models, but based on that other anon, I am not sure.

most guitar pickups are actually too hot for it so it clipps. turning down guitar volume will cut treble so its a bad work around and using the line input instead of instrument is even worse as its a low impedance jack and a guitar is high impedance unless you're using active pickups. the end result will be shitty as fuck because treble will be cut and some other frequencies, its just really bad. the only legit work around on the scarlett solo and 2i2 is getting a di box to transform your signal to be good to go into a line input. but a cheap di box could possibly also fuck up your signal a bit its its a cheap shitty one. 2i4 is your best bet because it has a pad button which fixes the clipping problem. if you're cheap get the solo (its the same as the 2i2 only less jacks so less expensive) and try it out, if you get clipping get a di box to fix it.

Friend of mine had one and I got it to sound decentish I guess. It was through some off brand 15 watt amp.

Friend of mine has a .strandberg 8 string and it's a great guitar. I played Plini's 6 string awhile back and that was a phenomenal guitar as well.
Isn't SSO really quiet nowadays?

At the highest end parts would probably come out to $1000-1200.
>>66064058
cheap acoustics are shit compared to electrics of the same price range tho. a $99 squier strat will be way better in terms of play-ability than a $99 acoustic. one of the first guitars i got was a $99 squier strat. still have it, plays fine. my 6 year old daughter plays it. got a $100 acoustic a few years ago, because i didn't have any acoustic guitars at the time. definitely harder to play, and i know how to set up guitars. ask my 6 year old why she doesn't play the acoustic... it hurts her fingers. also she likes to make inane noise with the whammy bar.

Hahaha, please get out
>>66066523
I have two 2i4s I constantly use but even with high output (13k) humbuckers I've never had it to clip and never had to use the pad.
With 8k humbuckers I have the gain usually around noon. A long way from even close to clipping. With my 5k strat pickups I actually have the gain around 2 o'clock most of the time.
Don't know why so many people say the 2i2 is terrible. They must be using some pretty crazy high output active pickups.
I like this

Just because Rondos have the same quality at 1/20 of the price it doesn't mean your guitar will lose resale value anon, Gibson still has brand appeal. Your guitar, as an instrument, is no better than a Rondo, but a Rondo will never get even close to its iconic qualities.

Reminder that Karl Sanders admitted he was sloppy not long after that came out and busted his ass working on tightening his technique. He followed it up with a very dry and tight album to show he'd put the effort in to fix his playing.

His solo albums are also very good.

I have an affinity strat I want to mod. Should I do it or would I be better off buying a mexistrat and doing that?
>>66068791
yes
>>66068601
The courage to not reply
>>66068791
With a neck swap, it's a horse a piece.
yes i didnt reply to him(maybe its you too) because i do not give (you)s to people who dont deserve
>>66068791
hell yeah mod it. Unless you have bad neck whip, just mod what you have.
Reminder that all guitars will need fretwork eventually
>>66068827
B-but it's ok
>>66068896
Totally.
>>66068896
Don't listen to that guy, necks come down to preference. I'd prefer fender necks if the reinforcement rods actually worked.
Ionizer or Crunchlab bridge? Got a drop E guitar that's sounding flubby with the SDs that are in it, and I don't want to go the comedy meme option and pick Black Winters.
>>66068982
Dude, what I'm saying is that either an affinity or a MIM, with a neck swap it becomes pretty much the same. Mod away.
>>66069014
With a fret job it becomes the same. I get what you're saying but it's worth being picky since some people will actually buy a new neck just for better fretwork. I see it all the time. Just don't want someone to get the wrong idea, we know how many newbies come here.
>>66069117
I see what you're saying, but the difference in material of the neck in an Affinity versus a Warmoth is definitely not something to be ignored. Especially if it's a rosewood board.
>>66069308
>m-muh tonewoods!
>>66069308
Shit rosewood is just fine. A flimsy piece of maple is not good, but I think you have to judge each neck on its own. Warmoth definitely makes quality necks but most guitar companies(not part companies) will have a lot of variance. Bottom line is of you have neck whip, you need a replacement, and if you don't have neck whip, don't replace your neck.
>>66061393
>makes a retarded video game reference on a music board
>shits on people when they don't see the humor in your reach of a joke
>>66069561
No, dipshit, it's about the wood literally not flexing beyond the point of tuning stability.
>>66069579
I'd rather spend the $100 for piece of mind than wonder if my Squier neck is good enough. That's my entire point. With a good neck, it doesn't matter, just mod away.
>>66061615
The fuck is with the hostility? Grow up, my man.
>>66069692
>piece of mind
fuck off steve
also your tuning stability claim is almost more retarded than tonewoods
>>66069762
Man, I repaired guitars for a few years for a small time store. I saw a million Affinity necks bend up for next to no reason. They're just not good. It's not a secret.
Secondly, I didn't even mention tonewoods. I mentioned Rosewood fretboards. Aka, not the veneer shit that comes on Affinities that warps like crazy.
Chill with your hostility.
>>66069692
There is no way to tell if a neck will warp in the future. No matter how much you spend on a neck or how much work you put into it, assuming the two necks have equal performance today, there's no way to know which will survive the longest.
That said, that's only if they have the same design. You cab expect a neck to last longer, if not forever, if it's book matched, and 3-piece necks with perpendicular grains can last longer as well. They have a lower risk of unbalanced wood.
But a $100 neck won't necessarily last, unfortunately. If you know of any $100 necks that aren't just standard one piece or skunk stripe necks, I want in on that too.
Also, there's some question of whether perpendicular to the strings in a one piece is better than parallel, but I don't know the answer.
>>66069860
nigger please, that's bullshit. More affinities warp because more people treat them like shit and don't oil the fretboard.
>>66069876
All I'm saying is that a Warmoth neck tends to be better than an Affinity. I don't see why there's such push-back on this.
>>66069942
And because they're literally made from veneer and pressboard. C'mon, man. Are you really defending Affinity guitars?
>>66069942
oiling the fretboard does nothing to change strength, in fact, dampening it might actually make it worse
>>66070014
when a board dries up it does so unevenly. The same can be said of adding too much oil. Not that it's that difficult to get right, but maple fretboards are my favorite for that reason.
>>66061792
For the price they're boring and lacklustre.
been playing the piano lately
kinda want to try the guitar and have some money to blow
talk me out of it /mu/
>>66061783
Yeah you can achieve the tone, I use a single coil loaded mustang sometimes for BM, sounds not too bad.
Example;
https://soundcloud.com/schismstudiosrecordings/gutrot
i've had this guitar for a few weeks and its pickups are noticeably louder now. they emit a normal amount of noise when I'm touching something metal on the guitar, and get much louder when i am not. what da deal
>>66069987
I just want the guy to know that he doesn't need to replace his neck unless there's something wrong with it.
>literally pressboard
>literally
>>66059405
It's also supposed to create more stable tuning by pulling the strings over a fret, like the strings are pulled when fretting a note.
>>66070430
nigger a single coil is not a p90, stop shilling your shit
>>66070471
your bridge wire came loose. Ground it.
>>66070508
>The P-90 is a single coil electric guitar pickup produced by Gibson since 1946.
>Type - Passive single-coil
Sorry what?
>>66070471
oil your fretboard you fucking pleb
>>66070578
nigger a rectangle is not a square stop shilling your shit
yknow I swear to god I almost pointed this out right away but I really did not think it was necessary when a p90 sounds nothing like a single coil. Yes, a single coil, as in that pickup design that isn't a p90 or a humbucker. Damn, don't start talking about syntax when you know exactly what I'm talking about.
>>66070727
nice b8
>>66070683
i did that when i changed the strings two days ago big bub
>>66070727
>nigger a rectangle is not a square stop shilling your shit
false equivalence
the equivalent would be "a square isn't a rectangle", but a square IS a rectangle. Just like a P-90 IS a single coil.
>>66070727
0/10
>>66070813
I said a single coil is not a p90.
Thanks for arguing against yourself.
Are there any instances in which an MXR pedal is superior to its Boss equivalent?
>>66070939
bass compressor
>>66070934
Not sure if troll or blue bus special.
woulnt it be detrimental to start learning on bass rather than guitar if you wanted to learn both?
just asking out of curiosity
>>66071003
I don't think so... Which do you want to learn more?
>>66070934
Just got here but a singlecoil is a pickup that only has a single copper coil wrapped around the magnetic poles. Pickups with two sets of singlecoils (one wound reverse to the other) are humbuckers.
A P90 is a singlecoil pickup. It also goes both ways, a singlecoil can be a P90, though that are several other varieties of singlecoils, just as there are several varieties of humbuckers.
>>66071080
not sure. i like the sound of bass but it seems like you can do more on the guitar. keep in mind i know nothing about either
which one is easier?
>>66070994
>blue bus special
>short bus
>blue plate special
>handicapped kids are the meal of the day
>>66071144
Bass is easier to start and harder to get to pro level
Guitar is harder to start and easier to get to pro level(rhythm)
Guitar is easier to play while singing
Being a good bassist is relatively more theory-focused than technique focused as opposed to guitar
I hope that helps your decision.
