Old Thread: >>66408682
The old OP is back!
>>66435544
I haven't checked which links are dead yet. I'll have the MediaFire updated and it all fixed within a few days.
Kinda liking the SCN noiseless pickups, not as bad as I previously assumed. The extra output and lack of hum compared to the previous '69s are a fair trade.
I think I'll give the new N4 noiseless from Fender a try as soon as used sets start to pop, heard they're pretty authentic sounding.
>>66435504
What an absolutely hideous guitar

thank you for telling me what it really is

Can anyone play and sing at the same time here?
>>66436541
I can on bass if the song is easy
>>66436541
I had trouble doing this and then I scaled back and just decided to play ITOATS (the song) and try to sing and play at the same time, I've practiced for 2 years and still can't, I've never been good at multitasking but i've definitely spent ridiculous amounts of time practicing just being able to sing and play, can't do it.
>>66435828
Seymour Duncan stacks/gfs trucoil/calig noiseless sound better to me. It's a dimple design that pretty much functions the same as a single.
>>66430146
Thanks. The problem with buying used is that I'm so inexperienced that I'm afraid of being taken advantage of.
is it true bass guitars are for stupid retard assholes who couldnt learn REAL guitar
its the instrument you give your GF so she can feel like shes helping
>>66437058
Well, if you're still trying, try playing only on the first beat while singing. Kind of boring but a good place to ramp up from, since you still have to change your hand position while singing. Folk songs are good for this.
been tryin fingerstyle for a couple days now. any tips?
here's the song i've been trying to learn, don't think twice it's alright by bob dylan. sorry for bad quality recording

>>66436541
>Can anyone play and sing at the same time here?
Is it really that hard? Like jeez rick, you just sing and play. It's not rocket surgery.
>>66437443
Try to slow it down a little, make sure you hit everything clean and on time. You're doing well though, keep it up bro.
>>66437573
alright i will, i just get impatient, yknow. thanks anon
>>66437104
Yeah, I might consider those as well. I just heard so many good things about the new N4s and I know a bunch of them is going to pop out for used when folks buy the new Elite strats and swap the pickups right away that I might end up going with them.
Still happy with the SCN but yeah, if I come across some better regarded used noiseless set, I'll give them a try. Not going for the N3, though, since I've heard the difference from the SCNs are very subtle.
>>66437555
playing anything beyond chords while singing is definitely not easy
Don't be Blueshammer.

>>66438295
Why does everyone here seem to hate the blues so much?
>>66438370
A lot of people have only been exposed to Chicago blues. When they think of blues, they pretty much imagine louder jazz. It's a shame, because barely anyone doesn't like at least a few real blues songs if they hear them.
>>66438370
I don't, I hate blues rock though, worthless genre. Fingerstyle blues is one of the highest achievements of guitar music.
>>66437284
Bass has a really low skill floor, but so does guitar. Guitar makes louder sound so you may feel like you're more skilled, but both can be totally brainless.
>>66438370
Only edgy people hate blues.
And only edgier people despise blues rock, which is what the movie makes fun of. Yeah, the guys in the movie suck but they're essentially making fun of SRV, which was indeed laughed at and booed on his first concerts and today are one of the most iconic blues rock players of history.
There are different kinds of blues. If you want to hear Robert Johnson and Delta Blues for the rest of your life, good for you, but don't hate on people who also enjoy SRV and even John Mayer. Music changes and evolves, just stick to what you like and don't pretend to be superior.
>>66438370

Blues Rock is corny commercial shit.
>>66438576
Because blues is the easiest fucking thing in the world to learn. It's Mary had a little lamb tier in difficulty. The mark of a good musician is being able to move past repetitive tripe, which only a few great blues players manage to do.
>>66438496

>>66438598
I didn't mean to imply blues rock was the only development, it is certainly the most popular.
>Blues Rock is corny commercial shit.
Now that's you objectively being edgy. If you can't realize, the movie also makes fun of the narrowed vision of the old guy (played by Steve Buscemi) who can only appreciate Delta Blues.
Hey guys, what do you think would be a good, moderately (around $500 I guess is by budget) priced bass for getting a nice clicky metal tone? I'm thinking like that kind of Bolt Thrower sound
>>66438606
>Because blues is the easiest fucking thing in the world to learn
Record a vocaroo now starting with a Asus4 for verification with a well played blues, since you know, it's that easy.
Only people who understand absolutely nothing about blues and think that because the main scale is 5 (or 6) notes it must be easy as shit will say that nonsense.
But let's put your concept to proof instead of arguing. Let's hear you playing some great blues right now, you know, since it's that easy.
And since you mentioned Mary Had A Little Lamb, please use this live performance of SRV playing Mary Had A Little Lamb as a ground level for what is good. Throwing you a bone here. You can use the solo starting at 1:58 for reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6lq0sRon0k
Record some 'easy blues' as good as that right now and I'll forever concede that blues is indeed 'the easiest fucking thing in the world' and that you indeed know what you're talking about instead of being an ignorant moron.

>>66438617
Maybe a little bit edgy, but also factually correct. Blues Rock was never really an artistically sound genre, it was developed to sell black music to white kids.
Which is why you have famous Blooze Rawkers like Eric Clapton making statements like this.
"I used to be into dope, now I'm into racism. It's much heavier, man. Fucking wogs, man. Fucking Saudis taking over London. Bastard wogs. Britain is becoming overcrowded and Enoch will stop it and send them all back. The black wogs and coons and Arabs and fucking Jamaicans and fucking [indecipherable] don't belong here, we don't want them here. This is England, this is a white country, we don't want any black wogs and coons living here. We need to make clear to them they are not welcome. England is for white people, man. We are a white country. I don't want fucking wogs living next to me with their standards. This is Great Britain, a white country, what is happening to us, for fuck's sake? We need to vote for Enoch Powell, he's a great man, speaking truth. Vote for Enoch, he's our man, he's on our side, he'll look after us. I want all of you here to vote for Enoch, support him, he's on our side. Enoch for Prime Minister! Throw the wogs out! Keep Britain white!"
All while making a career out of playing black music. It's cheap, plastic music. All of it.
>>66438833
Unless you're into some really indie obscure shit, all music is made to sell and by your definition, "not really artistic".
Quit the edgy act, kid. Music is music. All music is art. Drop the 'I listen to artistically superior music' act, it's only barely tolerable out of 14-year olds.
>>66438679
wow bending is so hard, wow I IV V progressions, wow blues scale with a neck pickup, technical mastery

>>66438850
>Unless you're into some really indie obscure shit, all music is made to sell
Very wrong and terrible attitude. The vast majority of music isn't profitable and is done for the love of art. By your logic a painting by Van Gogh has the same artistic Merit as a Mcdonalds advertisement.
Not to say that musicians shouldn't be paid for their art, but there is a big difference in a genuine Artistic expression and one that's only designed to be consumed as a product.

I can do it but I can only do one well. I'll either moan like a retard and play guitar well, or sing well and arrhythmically bang out chords. Forget about it if it's fingerpicked or complicated.
I'm with the other anon. I've played for years and have actively practiced singing/playing for a great deal of time, and am barely even mediocre at it. I made some progress but have not advanced at all past incredibly basic ability. I'm convinced it's something you either have or you don't; I know people who play much less than me who can play and sing intermediate stuff effortlessly.
>>66439765
I dunno, I'm always hesitant to believe many things are like that, "you have it or you don't." Anyways if you watch live performances you will find people really don't play very difficult stuff while singing, and if they do chances are they don't keep up the rhythm perfectly.

I know a Fender endorsee, he mentioned that unlike the N2 or N3, the N4 sounds more Aline and is more responsive and that Fender shouldn't have called them N4s because they are such an improvement over the others. He might be endorsed by them but he's the least bullshitting professional guitarist I've met.
>>66440643
Three different budgets anon. I'd buy the best I can afford used. If I could, I'd get an Elite,
Got a 7 string meme-machine with EMGs. I didn't mind the EMGs at first, but now I'm hating them. The best description I could give it is metallic? The cleans are okay, but fairly sterile, not much depth in terms of bass. The leads are the only redeeming quality, but probably the least important. Would a sweet pair of passives go a good way towards solving this?
>>66441802
>alive
Fucking autocorrect
>>66441753
I've had guys try to haggle me over functional but abandoned (shit people left in a studio and never came back for) pedals going for like $10-$20. I had one thing, lowest used price listings on eBay of like $200, selling for $100, and a guy wanted to argue it should have been $20 "like everything else".
would you guys be mad at me if i bought a jazzmaster?
>>66441821
I think so. I prefer passives and nowadays there's so much variety that you can find a passive for each application you'd ever want.
For actives I'd rather go with Seymour Duncan Blackouts.
>>66441753
>>66441885
Get that lowballing sucks, but damn there are people on Reverb listing used and older version products for like 95÷ of the new version price. Check out Neunaber Wets on there and tell me that's not insane
>>66441821
Which set of EMGs? They're not all voiced identically. That said, their "normal" voicing is ALL MIDS ALL THE TIME so if you're not feeling the bass response that would probably be your problem, yes.
>>66441779
Can't keep my hands off of it. Had a 256 and vox pathfinder so this was a big upgrade for me and honestly Im in an apartment so I can't make the noise I'd like to. Finding people to just chill and jam with is hard. I've heard the 401 is simply remarkable and on par with the 1000. How long you been playing and how was the transition to the baritone?

i'm not sure what you're asking. the only shapes i can think of where you can use only one finger and just slam it down to play a chord are Amaj shaped chords and Dmaj7 shaped chords
there are a bunch of chords where you need to use one finger to play multiple strings though, but you're also using other fingers too

Never understood the hate on people having good gear. Guitar gear is cheap compared to tons of hobbies. Engines are massive money sinks compared to guitars.
The engine I'm hunting for locally is about $10,000 alone before I buy anything else, and that's fairly cheap compared to a lot of builds.

>Engines are massive money sinks compared to guitars
Hell yeah they are. Then you gotta maintain them. I fix them, it's not a hobby tho. I got a 96 camry for 400$ with a blown engine. I don't mind driving a pos car, and using any $ i have for some gear. Side work is a good way to get cash for gear. But i usually end up spending it on the kids. My hopes are to get them into playing, so they ask santa for gear. I'm sure they'll let me play with it, esp since i took them all those neat places while they're little
>>66444669
yea they're both worth learning
don't just learn it with your index finger though, learn it with your ring finger, because that's the finger you use to hold down multiple strings when you're playing Amaj shaped chords, and E shaped power type of chords

It's an 81-7 on the neck and a 707 on the bridge. The biggest let down is rhythm tones, somehow I failed to mention that in my post. I think I might look at some passives, they've never let me down.

Yuck. 707 is like the worst bridge pickup ever- it's substantially "flatter" than the 81, but still does that weird rounded thing and IMO has an absolutely godawful sound because the resonant peak is centered closer to 300Hz. They sound like mud and compete with your drum kit for a frequency band they shouldn't ever be in.
Those fuckers only end up in guitars because OEMs can get them on the cheap. I'd agree with the anon who said to flip the positions, the 81 will do better for rhythm and the neck is where the 707 will do the least damage.
As far as passives, I think it's hard to go wrong with just emailing a few companies and asking what they'd recommend. Seymour Duncan and Dimarzio have a lot of 7 string options, a decent amount of gear demos (if you want heavy rhythm check out Keith Merrow's SD high gain comparison) and they both follow up with prospective buyers pretty well.
I own some Bare Knuckles and they're... okay? Definitely not worth the market rate. Like, you're paying for something hand wound by a dude from Iced Earth with tone recommendations from the bassist from Periphery. They're not some sort of A-Team for metal, they're some goons who sometimes make things people might like more than production models.

Good guitar for drone/doom metal?
>>66445488
Looks pretty sharp desu senpai
>>66446200
An electric guitar.
>>66446243
with humbuckers
>>66440755
How is it quality wise ? I don't trust the chinks anymore, but I really want a bass rig and I'm poor.
>>66440311
It kinda looks like a Xiphos, but different, are you sure it's an Ibanez ?

Orange made a pedal called The Amp Detonator. Check it out. It might sound good on bass too.
What type of dirty channel are you looking to run?
>>66445025

But I love the Rumble series. It's solid and affordable. Also the fact is pretty lightweight for it's size is a plus.
>>66443561
If this is your only hobby, you have no kids or wife and are on a decent job, then over the years you can afford that easily.
>>66443715
That sounds really salty and you know it.
Is a 1991 longhorn US made standard jazz bass shit? Like in general as a model, was it a shit period for them? Asking because there's a really good price on one but it's like 200+ km away, so I dunno if I should bother going to check it out.
Fuzzfags:
Modern day EHX Big Muff or Way Huge Swollen Pickle?
I like the Swollen Pickle but Muffs are dirt cheap and the SPs are based off Muffs anyway.
>>66445488
How are the two MXR pedals?
>>66446586
>That sounds really salty and you know it.
Yeah. I think it actually raised my resting blood pressure. I guess I'll have to stick with Mrs. Dash for a while now
>>66439296
Yea, real nice
But can you shove it up your ass?
>>66446642
Not him but it's the MXR M87 Bass Compressor and MXR M182 El Grande Bass Fuzz.
The M182 has been discontinued, but is a pretty decent fuzz. The M87 is pretty much the work horse bass compressor that gets the job done right every time.

>>66446863
that's not the same guitar though
>>66436541
It mostly depends on the song. Sometimes I get too focused on the guitar to sing properly.
>>66446865
Thanks
>>66446863
You think I wont?! And damn that's nice, I have a fetish for semi hollow. That a signature series or did you have someone sign it?
>>66446627
>the SPs are based off Muffs anyway.
I'm pretty sure that the SP is based on the Sovtek Muff. There is a tonal difference. Try them both if you can
>>66447300
can't, i'm ordering from pretty far away
>>66438679
You pretty much did BTFO me, when we're talking about SRV. Blues is super easy to learn though, the reason why his blues sounds good is because his Mary had a little lamb sounds good; he's a fucking amazing player. All I meant is that no ones going to call you a master guitarist for just knowing blues, and there are tons of shitty players who stop at blues.
>>66446642
Compressor is god tier
Fuzz is meh
I tuned my guitar down to C standard and I notice my low E hums after I play a chord, even though I haven't fretted or touched the low E at all. What gives?
>>66445488
Do you face any phase issues when blending the lines with the BOSS LS-2?
I have a ibanez gio, is it worth buying better parts or should I just wait til I buy a better guitar one day?
>>66447581
Better guitar. Anything can be an improvement.
r8 my mini pedal board.
Also, what should I replace the metal zone pedal with. I don't really use it much
>>66447581
nah wait for a better guitar
>>66446200
Could I have some real advice?
>>66447845
You already got it faggot.
>>66447845
Get an amp, too.
>>66447717
Get a fuzz. And a dist.
>>66447717
Tuner? Crybaby Mini?
>>66447845
If you really wanna play drone just get an amp. Plug a cable into the amp's input. Stick the other end in your mouth. Boom, drone.
>>66447845
A lotta those players use Les Pauls and they all use big loud tube amps
You don't need a Les Paul though, just something with humbuckers.

And Wren and Cuff also make a Russian Fuzz but I think you're better off with the NYC made one.

Reminder that Sheptone Pickups are being sued by Dimarzio over trademark infringement for selling pickups with double cream bobbins.
Dimarzio's trademark is weak, violates several principles of trademark law and should never have been granted in the first place.
Sheptone has a GoFundMe for legal costs. For the good of the guitar industry, find it and pitch in a little. Dimarzio has used scummy business tactics for years, give them a little payback.
>>66448742

what a bunch of assholes
>>66448742

That's not looking good.
>>66448816
Larry Dimarzio is a cunt who sued a pickup manufacturer for patent infringement, despite the patent existing for two years prior to Dimarzio's, and because the defendant couldn't afford to fly to the US and defend themselves in court Dimarzio was able to file for default judgment and win the patent.
Dimarzio Virtual Vintage pickups are literally stolen technology.
>>66448838
News of the case is only just starting to break in the community. It should pick up as word spreads. It's in the best interests of all pickup manufacturers to contribute, especially Seymour Duncan and Gibson who would make a killing if they could sell double cream pickups.
>>66439765
it's not something you either have or don't. you just have to practice
>>66448742
I have Sheptones in my 96 PRS CU 22. They are awesome
>>66443007
Yes.
>>66449407
Any suggestions on which one?
>>66449433
a roland cube
>>66449433
I'd say you keep the Axe FX...but just in the interest of discussion, what kinds of music do you play? Any particular genre or sound?
>>66449525
I mostly play hard rock but like many genres including funk, jazz, country, some metal and pop
>>66449433
If you sell the Axe Fx, you have a lot of budget. Depending on your style, get a Fender, Marshall, Badcat, I don't fucking know. There's a shitload of really nice tube amps.
sup guys i wanna play punk rock, dont know shit about guitar
would a certain kinda gear help?
>>66449579
>>66449579
okay, if you play hard rock the tube amp is literally what you need imo. Marshall full stack or something like that.
Should I buy a Schecter PT?
What can I do to make the whammy bar on my jaguar tighter? It's kinda loose, comes out way too easily and also makes a rattling noise. It's the kind you just press in and I'm positive that the problem isn't just that it's not in the socket all the way.
>>66449601
The punk sound is pretty easy to get. You can get it with pretty much any guitar, I'd steer away from metal guitars though.
>>66449749
>falling for memes
>>66449749
Take it off and tighten the collet underneath
>>66450148
look at the headstock bruv
>>66450173
Fuck, I'm blind apparently. Thanks.
>>66449679
I tried a PT fastback (or at least that's the closest I can find, http://www.schecterguitars.com/international/guitars/retro/pt-fastback-detail) and it didn't really blow me away. It's probably because I don't like telecasters, because otherwise it was a neat guitar.
I'd probably take it over a fender just for the "not-a-fender" factor.
Also Schecter have some really cool "retro" models.
>>66447717
Boss fz-5
What kind of stuff should i do for blues improv with a looper pedal i can't fucking think of any ideas.
>>66449601
>Any hardtail guitar (that means no whammy bar)
>A good cheap distortion or fuzz. Like a proco Rat, boss Ds1, Boss Ds2, or ehx Big Muff
>any LOUD amp. Tube or solid state does not matter, you just want something louder than a drummer.
>>66450173
>>66450148
top kek
>>66446627
The NYC Muff is so much better than the Sovtek. People just like the Sovteks cause they're rare. They have way less sustain and sound much worse imo. The Muff is my favorite fuzz and I've tried a lot. Just works perfectly in my setup.
>>66447525
Nope, it works fine.
Only problem i have is when i try to use the overdrive and fuzz at the same time
It's way too noisy
>>66448742
That might be the sexiest Les Paul I've ever seen

Should I just go for the Pedaltrain Metro16 or cheap out and get the Rondo CNB pedal case (which is roughly the same size)?
>>66450970
why would you need a suppressor
>>66450970
>noise suppressor and distortion for a frontman 10
lmao
complete utter waste of money
>>66450970
>$60 amp
>$250 pedal
Your priorities are ass fucking backwards mate.
>>66450970
Please save more for a decent guitar. It's a bad sign when your pedals cost as much as your guitar.
>>66450970
All good except for the amp. Go on craigslist and get something bigger and louder, even if it's still a practice amp.
I'd go for the esp, Bullet strats are bad.
Also you're probably not going to end up keeping that chorus pedal, I'd save your money. Unless you REALLY wanna play some nirvana songs or something. Chorus isn't typically used in punk.
>>66450970
If you want a cheapass amp you should get something like a Marshall MG. At least those can sound decent enough for fucking around. A Frontman is dogshit.
Squiet Bullets are shit too.
>>66451062
chorus pedals are garbage and if they were all burned in a fire pit i'd masturbate watching them all burn
>>66451062
i decided to make a catalog of shit i've bought. you were right about the chorus, never use it except for playing nirvana. also i'm trying to sell the bullet strat since it's shit. and i'm trying to find a new amp
who here midlife crisis?
>>66451011
Really useful for punk and hardcore when you want dead-silent pauses with no hum. The other anons are right though, fucking pointless for use with a dinky little 10w practice amp.
>>66451045
>tfw have a big muff and a Boss OD-3 but only have an Orange Crush 12 for an amp
>>66451129
Hum is cool tho
Look at Unwound
Does anyone here have the Mel9 by EHX?
I want it because I'm a huge prog-head but idk if I can't justify the price tag
>>66451148
They're from my town, hah.
I am a single coils > fuzz > fender amp player, I definitely get down with some hum.

>>66451147
>tfw you spent as much money on pickups as you did on your guitar
why did I ever think this was a good idea
>>66451231
you've been at it for about a week and you still don't understand amps ? dude what's so hard about spending ten minutes reading what the fuck a cab or a combo is
>>66451231
You need to do some more research before you're ready to buy anything. Google combo vs head and cab.
>>66451126
I just bought a $4,000 Wizard. What do you think?
Will I be able to run a Line 6 DL4 off of this power supply or should I just stick to a Voodoo Labs? I'm only thinking about getting the strymon since I will most likely be getting a Mobius soon (have a Big Sky now) and want those two pedals powered correctly. Also it's light as fuck and that's always great in a portable rig.
