First thought was: oh, another cash-in. But a Strat with piezo saddles and preamp is pretty cool.
>>66411231
>>66412586
go for it brother its a legitimately beautifal looking guitar
>>66413224
It's pretty cool. You can switch the pickups from either humbuckers to single coil by pulling up on the knobs.

Hey, I know this is Guitar/Bass and stuff but I just bought this. I've never played Piano before, but I've been a jazz guitarist for a few years now and I'm buying a piano to learn composition.
It should be lots of fun. I start lessons at the same place I took guitar at for years here in a couple weeks.
Super excited!
>>66413814
nice, looks like a sick keyboard (tho i know nothing about them besides how to play piano). piano definitely adds a ton to your musical abilities; from someone who started both at the same time if you really want to get good at composition then you should retrain your brain to think of notes/scales/modes as laid out on a keyboard instead of the way you probably traditionally do laid out on a fretboard. also jazz piano is fucking impossible
so I spilled something highly alcoholic on my guitar
(nitro finish) and it melted away some of the finish and lacquer
any way to repair this without having to completely refinish the guitar from ground?
>>66414009
if it dissolved both the finish and lacquer then no... what the fuck did you spill on it that it dissolved through to the fucking wood tho? absinthe??
>>66414009
What guitar?
>>66412257
I mostly play Free Improvisation gigs and a few in some small Jazz groups. New school stuff though, so less jarring than Derek Bailey or Sonny Sharrock.
>>66414315
a strat, sunburst
it only spilled on the black parts on the lower sides edge though
>>66414224
rubbing alcohol
>>66414009
post some pics. You might be able to wetsand and buff the finish with a polish.
>>66414224
cant you just repaint the parts and refinish and then sand it?
Fender Stratocasters are literally the best guitar ever made. That is all
>>66414388
>>66414406
dunno if hes gonna be able to restore a sunburst effect lmao. you could certainly try and re-do the finish/lacquer/original color but its more likely than not that you will end up with a differently colored bottom/bumpy finish id think
>>66414406
That finish has to be uncomfortable though..Especially resting your arm on all that burnt shit.
>>66414388
agreed.
>>66414520
woah, those pickups look fucking sick. what are those?
so what's harshing your mellows tonight, lads?
>>66414571
Seymour Duncan rails.
Neck and bridge could be cool or hot rails. Middle is a vintage rails.
>>66414571
They're single coil humbuckers, essentially.
Neck is a Cool Rail which gives it a really nice clean tone. Middle is a Vintage Rail which gets a nice classic rock tone. Bridge is a Hot Rail that gets me a really solid lead tone and is better for heavier music. They're made by seymour duncan.
This is what the bridge pickup sounds like btw

>>66414520
>unpainted 4 piece body
AHHHH
>>66414835
i really like the looks damn. but they dont give you much of a warm tone? the pickups i fell in love with sound wise were the curtis novak tele lipsticks... those are fucking incredible...
>>66408682
are the links in the OP good for a beginner?
did anyone here follow them and how good were they?
>>66415084
They're just memes

>>66415059
No, they do give me a pretty warm tone. That was just my amp settings at that time.
>>66415140

Heres my rig. I posted it like a month ago... So maybe ypu haven't seen it.
>>66416327
How do those axe fx's work?
Can I just plug them into an amp? Or do I need a computer to use them?
>>66416347
You need a power amp like the one in my pic to power a cabinet and use the sounds from the Axe FX (The Crown)
>>66416327
Gib monie
If you have any left that is.
>>66416327
Lovely. I want a Strandberg. Maybe in a couple of years. My gear funds are completely depleted but I'm happy.
Almost went for an Axe FX II XL but got pic related instead. Inbound next week.
>>66416386
I really have none left. Gotta save up for rent by the 1st
>>66416347
Can run output to a power amp or into the effects return of a head.
Alternative is direct out to a computer and using IRs.
>>66416413
Very cool. I live in an apartment and a real amp would just be wasted on me. Axe fx lets me play at any volume and sound p good. If i had a house, i would buy a mesa tho
>>66416508
FXs are really great. Modeling has come a long long way and it sounds really good. I feel that the algorithms will reach a point where you won't be able to tell (if they haven't already).
Also Fractal seems to be on top of their game with updates, at least from an outsider perspective.
>>66416654
It's fairly noticeable isolated if you run direct but once it's in a mix it's pretty hard to spot assuming people aren't dialing them in for that ultra-tight sound a lot of guys use them for.
If you're running it through a tube poweramp and cabinet the only thing obvious is the attack is bizarrely immediate.
>>66408682
hi guys,
say youre a sperg neet who has never touched a pick in his life and can only play carcassi etudes
what would you do to learn normie, appealing gutar that normal people can appreciate and not just turbo autists like yourself?
also how do you get good at singing? what are some good singing/pick songs to start with?
thanks familia
do you guys know how I can repaint my guitar easily and without too much I'd have to buy?
I've been considering repainting this black Squier Stratocaster II that I've just bought to a brighter color, maybe a pastel pink or a white instead of the black that it is already and I wonder what I'd have to do
>>66416794
Just scuff up the paint with 320 grit sandpaper until all the gloss is gone (no shiny spots) you want it to have a matte finish. Then spray about 3 coats of primer, wait for it to dry, then spray the color of your choice, 1 can should be enough wetsand with 400-2000. Then as much clear coat as you want.
I recommend duplicolor paints and minwax clear coat if you can get them where you are. Otherwise look for lacquer based paints (easier to work with). Pretty easy.
>>66416867
alternatively you can also use a fast drying enamel paint (just build it up alot) and skip the clear coat. Just buff the enamel paint to a gloss.

I enjoy playing the electric guitar from time to time, have a pretty wide selection of pedals and I like shoegazy walls of sound, but I have one problem.
I rarely play because Im afraid that someone will hear. I play at irritatingly low volumes and if I do turn up the volume, I dont play for a long time. I dont think anyone is going to get annoyed since I have two young people living on both sides, now upper or lower "floors" on this type of a building. I never hear their noises through walls or anything either, but I just cant get over the spook factor. For 3-4 years I've been afraid as FUCK about making a ruckuss. How the HECK do you get over it?

>>66410647
Have had one of these pedal boards for 16 years, the carpet inside is dog shit. Rip it out all the way to the base board and lay down some industrial strength velcro from homedepot. Once you do that their worth a damn. Never busted open on me. Make sure the weather stripping doesnt come off those. That'll help with moisture and temperature.

Seems like most recommended beginner basses start out at $350. I'm not sure if I'll even like playing an instrument, but I want to give it a shot. Are there any budget bases around $250 that'd you'd recommend to a newbie? Buying used is out due to my inexperience and not knowing anyone that plays and can help me find a halfway decent instrument. Thanks.
What is a decent acoustic guitar around $500 NZD? I've been casually learning for the past 6 months but I feel if I learn to play the song I'm practicing perfectly I'll be able to justify buying a better guitar.
Can someone explain capos to me
>>66419213
It shortens the length of the strings by clamping behind a fret which makes all the strings higher pitched. If you're thinking in terms of tablature, the fret that's capo'd is now 0, and the rest of the frets going up are numbered relative to that. The frets behind the capo towards the nut don't matter anymore
>>66419213
You clip it on any fret and it barres it off at that fret.
Pretty good deal isn't it? Looks brand fucking new for a 56 year old guitar

What's the main difference between Gibson and Epiphone? Aren't they made with the same mahogany? If I took an Epi SG and Gibson SG with the same pickups would there be any major differences? I don't give a damn about a logo and I hate the angle the Gibson headstock is at. I just care about neck shape, fret ends, and fretboard feel
>>66419430
>>66419447
Yeah I know that but in what cases would you use a capo?
I want to add a Precision pickup to my ray34 bass. The thing is that I want the P pickup to go to the same jack output as the other pickup but I don't want the P going through the internal pre-amp.
Is this possible?
>>66420558
in the cases which you need to play an open note that's in a different tuning from the one you're in.
For exemple if I need to play 0707xx in E standard, but I am tuned to D standard, then I'll put a capo on the second fret and play 0909xx
>>66420558
>Easy transposition without bar chords
>Use different chord voicings with open strings
>Different key - different sound
>>66420334
The woods are sourced from different places (only matters if you believe in tone wood or you are concerned with weight), the electronics in the epiphone will be worse (sort of subjective) and generally the Gibson will be made to higher quality control standards.
You can get a used gibson sg for really cheap, one of the only gibson guitars I would ever consider buying.
>>66420334
I put gibson 496R and 500T in my epiphone explorer, it went from "cheap sounding guitar" to "pretty decent sounding guitar"
never laid my hand on an actual gibson explorer though so there might still be a margin
>>66419667
I don't know how much it's worth, but it looks fucking beautiful

You need one to adjust the truss rod.
How the fuck you own a guitar and not know this?
>>66414009
A good shop will be able to spot refin nitro. Its far easier to work with than urethane (which is also why the solvent nature of the alcohol fucked it up). The acetone in the nitro will melt the old and new finish together. What color is the guitar. Did it just take the clearcoat off?
Protip: artists fixative in a spray can is just clear nitrocellulose lacquer. $5 as opposed to $15 from reranch.
>>66421602
>artists fixative in a spray can is just clear nitrocellulose lacquer
No all of it, anon.
A lot of it these days is acrylic, which is no good on nitro.
>>66421440
you can do that without a capo jackass
>>66421690
Ok. I guess the place by me only has the traditional nitro. Also I've sprayed clear acrylic over solid nitro colors several times. It works fine. Do you finish guitars?
>>66422302
I've ruined a couple of Project guitars in my time experimenting, and I can do a reasonable French polish, but I tend to leave my good guitars alone.
Acrylic over nitro is chemically compatible, but the main point in having a nitro guitar is the way it wears - acrylic spoils that.
>>66422643
Agreed. The only times I've done the acrylic was on a couple top only refins. I wouldn't want to spray a neck with the stuff. Definitely doesn't feel as nice as nitro
>>66421732
>you can do that without a capo
You CAN, doesn't mean it's the right way.
>>66423696

what matters is how it ends up feeling for you theres no right way

Are there any cheaper alternatives to the Darkglass B7K/B3K ? It's pretty much the perfect bass tone I'm looking for but it's not cheap and I don't even have a bass yet.
>>66408682
I'm finally selling my old basses that are just taking up space. I'm sizing down to 3 proper basses and 1 EUB, 1 portable combo and 1 proper stack. Is that reasonable or still too much?
Would you buy this? It's a Washburn parallaxe pxm10, I have never played one but from what I've read it's very good.
I'm having a hard time deciding if I should have a tremolo or not though, some people say that a Floyd rose is a pain in the ass and some models without any tremolo might be a bit cheaper but I don't want to be limited and handicapped.

im really interested in buying a strandberg, but id rather buy used. Any idea if they come up very often? looking for a 6 string.

>>66425740
>Is there any point to just going with 7 strings instead of 8?
The same reasons some people prefer 4 string basses over 5 string.

>>66425945
Muting will be harder and the neck might be more uncomfortable. You'll pay more for strings. That's about it.
>>66411759
Wait
Is that an 8-string electric nylon?
God is dead
>>66408912
>>66425974
Muting's not harder, the strings are under your palm/forearm, not over like on a 6 stringed bass. If you don't play thumb over, the neck's width is fine as well.
>>66426013
8 string nylon is super comfy though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3izFZf99z8
>>66426197
>Muting's not harder
Muting on a 5 string bass is harder. But guitarists seem to not give a fuck about proper muting in the first place.
>>66426234
Different string spacings and technique, you don't rest your palm the same way on a 5 string, and the B's really thick.

Help.
I own a Fender Stratocaster, 1993, MIM.
This dude wants to trade me for a Squier Jaguar. Brand new, just bought it, he just wants a mim strat
Been wanting a jag for a long time. my plan is to put a fender decal on the headstock.
The only thing stopping me from trading is the fact my guitar has SO MUCH sentimental value.
What do
>>66428049
also will I live in guilt knowing that it's not a proper Fender and I'm gonna mod the headstock and trem system to say Fender?
>>66427848
but that guy looks ridiculous what are you even talking about
>>66428049
>I own a Fender Stratocaster
>This dude wants to trade me for a Squier
Are you stupid or something?
>>66426553
It's not shit, washburn make solid guitars. You shouldn't consider a tremolo unless you're going to use it extensively. Buying a guitar without a tremolo does not limit or handicap you, a tremolo only adds a very small range of extra sounds you can bring out and you're not gonna be missing it unless you do lots of lead type playing and want to extend what you can pull off very marginally.
If you've already got a guitar without one and want a tremolo because you're looking to be able to do tremolo exclusive things, go for it. If it's your first proper non cheap piece of crap guitar, don't bother, it really doesn't add as much to your playing as you think it will.

That's the plebbiest and most unoriginal list of guitar I've seen.
>>66428511
nothing wong with the les paul
not my thing because they are thick and heavy for my roken back

>>66428590
I'm not saying they're bad guitars. But they're just so boring.
>>66428664
i guess, but your guitar will be as boring as you let it be
im all up for tweaking and customizing stuff to your liking
>>66427523
Get some virtuoso polish and buff it out. Or 3m finesse it

>>66428627
>ITT: We post our number one favorite, most influential BASSIST to ourselves and then we r8 and h8 each other.
Günther Paal for getting me into bass playing and Frank Itt for being fucking awesome and an amazing player with a great personality and a great mindset when it comes to bass playing.
Nobody knows who I'm talking about, but I swear I'm not a hipster.
>>66428511
It's unoriginal because many people have these. Many people have these because you don't need anything else.

I have an Ibanez RG and it's my favorite guitar I own. It's my most fun to play by far.
That being said, I also own a Fender MIA Telecaster, so yeah
>>66428834
>aslo:
>>anything with a pointy headstock
where was this even mentioned you twat, there's plenty of brands that make non-edgy guitars, and aren't fender/gibson

Don't be fucking stupid. Your guitar is worth more.
Sell it and buy a real Fender mememachine

You dun goofed
>>66428627
Kiko is awesome. For some reason I always confuse him with Nuno Bettencourt. I guess because they have portuguese/br names. Both are cool guitarists though.
If I have to say more influential to me, I guess it's Pucci. We share the same gear preferences and I own a couple of his guitars and have another Mesa on the way...
But my favorite isn't him at the moment, maybe I'd say Plini and Frusciante since I'm trying to learn to play a bit funky. Young JP is best JP tho.
>>66428877
MIJ RGs are great, had a RG655 for a while and it was a great guitar. It played itself.
>>66428936
>opinion discarded
so how does this work, does he not love his RG anymore because some random guy said so ?
>>66428972
Yes exactly.
>>66428979
>>66428049
It's a bad trade without the sentimental value, but that should make it a deal breaker. You absolutely WILL regret trading a nice guitar with "SO MUCH" sentimental for a shitty Squier. Just save up for a Jag and buy one yourself. Or sell some gear you don't use anymore
literally why would you get any brand other than fender
>>66429032
Because I'm not a marketing victim
It's finally happening guys, a pickup winder is challenging Dimarzio's longstanding trademark on double cream pickups.
In case you're unaware, Dimarzio trademarked cream pickups several decades ago and they have been serving cease and desist notices to any manufacturer that makes them. Someone is finally stepping up to the plate.
The basis behind the case is the illegitimacy of Dimarzio's trademark - over two dozen IP attorneys and professors, including the attorney who examined Dimarzio's 2005 trademark claim on chrome bobbins (which was denied) agree that the trademark should never have been granted in the first place. Specifically, it violated the functionality doctrine: It there is any functionality to the requested trademark, either utilitarian or aesthetic, that contributes to the commercial viability of a product (rather than a brand) then the trademark is not to be granted.
UPS can trademark their brown vans because the brown has no functionality beyond identifying the brand. But John Deere could not trademark green farm equipment, as farmers preferred to color coordinate their equipment with their green John Deere tractors.
Dimarzio's cream humbuckers fall into the latter category. Smaller pickup manufacturers are hurt by Dimzario's trademark because the cream pickup is a product in and of itself chosen for its aesthetic rather than merely being representative of Dimarzio's brand. Dimarzio's official literature even says that the standard color of their humbuckers is black rather than cream.
Dimarzio really doesn't have a leg to stand on in this. The only reason they got the trademark in the first place is because nobody challenged it, because no other manufacturer thought it would actually go through. A huge mistake that has cost the pickup industry quite a bit of money.
Hopefully this turns out the way it should.
>>66429032
maybe for the fact fender nowadays is a complete travesty and doesn't represent what the founder of the company envisioned.
buy a G&L/Musicman

>LPC
>Uncovered pups
>non-black plastic
>Preferring boring black plastic and gaudy gold pickups on a LPC
Cream on an LPC is a classic mod that makes the guitar look way better.
>>66429072
Or support local builders, smaller companies, etc.

Because I like to play fast metal and I'm a lead guitarist. So my Ibanez does me just fine
I use my Tele for clean stuff and the more soft, quiet pieces.
>>66428972
Hmm, that sounds like the worst logic I've ever heard in my entire life. Something only /gg/ could come up with
>>66429049

Kek. We should all make one of these and vote for the best (err.. worst?) one, and then start a gofundme so we can all chip in and buy it. Then we'll have the official goat meme /gg/ guitar that we can worship like the mindless autists we all are.

I prefer chrome hardware on my LP Customs
That one you posted looks really classy, the cream pickups add to it.

I hope Dimarzio loses the trademark, it's retarded (and I use DiMarzios).

Chrome definitely looks nice.
>>66428049
lmaoooo let me explain the whole deal.
The original deal was he'd trade squier jag and mitchell 12 string acoustic for fender mim strat
showed him mine, he claimed that it was "damaged and chipped" (literally just has paint scratches lel) then he said "yeah its damaged, ill trade you straight jag for it"
this dude really said the paint and the scratches in it affect the tone. kek
>>66429215
I'd bail dude. Unless you are ripping him off, it's not worth dealing with retards.
If he fucks up the guitar by being stupid, he will come back to you saying that the guitar is worthless and will want something in return.
>>66429215
He sounds like a massive faggot. Tell him to fuck off.
>>66429032
I don't know anon. I think people try to be snowflakes instead of buying the best guitar ever made.
Can anyone recommend some good songs with several layers that I can build on my looper pedal and then solo over? I'm trying to get better at soloing and improvising but I'm not good enough to build my own backing tracks and I'm getting bored of practicing with the same songs over and over.
>>66429414
>Can anyone recommend some good songs with several layers that I can build on my looper pedal and then solo over?
Yes.
>>66411149
I've got active EMGs on my fretless jbass, they're giving awesome. All the mwah.
>>66429414
I take it you've used most of the backing tracks you like on youtube? Depending on what style your playing there can be quite a selection to choose from even if they all sound generic.
>>66408682
howdy my friendsters,
kv 'ex'-homeschooler incel here.
say u are a sperg neet who has never touched a pick in his life and can only play carcassi etudes on a nylon string
what would you do to learn normie, appealing strum/rhythm gutar that normal people can appreciate and not just turbo autists like yourself?
also how do you get good at singing? what are some good singing/pick songs to start with?
thanks familia

Yeah I've gone through quite a few on youtube, but now that I have a looper, I like to build backing tracks myself to play over -- I'm just not good/creative enough to make my own, so I'm looking for someone else's to steal. Pretty much anything with a decent chord progression and bass line will work. Any suggestions?
>>66429249
