That guitar
Thinking of buying this used Seagull S6. Any better used acoustics in the $300-400 price range?
>>60856236
sorry forgot pic
My pedal chain is
tuner > small clone > ds2 > big muff > digitech multieffect used for reverb > EQ pedal
is the best option to daisy chain everything but the Digitech or should I buy a ton of batteries before my first gig?
I'm getting an isolated DC brick soon but I don't even have a board yet. gotta get my shit together before we start gigging next month.
>>60856236
it's a great guitar, probably the most recommended ever. I would try to get a taylor gs mini or a big baby but that's just me. the Seagull is a much better guitar than those low end taylors.
>>60856302
I'd recommend having the EQ before the small clone. With the power situation, I'd say try a daisy chain and see if you get an excessive amount of hum. If not, you should be able to get away with it till you get a brick. Batteries are expensive and die quick.
>>60856199
Honestly if it had a natural look and a symmetrical headstock it could be pretty cool.
pic semi related, Fredrik Thordendal's fretless 8 string.
>Gear
Pic-related, I have a couple acoustics that I keep at my family's house so I have something to do when I visit and a modified Squier 51 that I want to turn into a fretless but my main guitars are my MIM Strat and Squier VM Jazzmaster. Amp is an Egnater Rebel 20 with Fender Super Champ 80 watt cab. Pedals are Morley Bad Horsie wah, EHX Soul Food with JHS mod, and EHX Memory Man with Hazarai.
>Desired Gear
Fretless Jazz Bass, a nicer keyboard with weighted keys. I'm pretty happy with my current set-up, though.
>Fav. Guitars
Strats, Jazzmasters, some archtops, kind of coming around to Teles.
>Fav. Guitarists
Hendrix, Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Nels Cline, Frank Zappa, Pat Martino
>Projects
I'm about to head over to band practice. I recently joined a prog rock group on lead guitar so we're working on getting me up to speed on the band's current repertoire and writing new material. Also working on my sight reading by using jazz charts.
I also want to do this thing where I get a pool of musicians to play one-off gigs around my city, where we learn a few improv-centric tunes and then perform under a new band name each time with new musicians and new tunes.
>Talk About and Play Music
What guitarists got /gg/ into guitar in the first place, or even into specific musical styles? I started playing after listening to Van Halen and Green Day; Randy Rhoads got me into classical guitar, and Pat Martino made me want to study jazz. These days I mostly listen to jazz or fusion guys and use ideas from their music to furnish my lead work.
>>60856537
>What guitarists got /gg/ into guitar in the first place, or even into specific musical styles?
Buckethead got me into guitar in general, Kirk Hammett got me into wanting to take it seriously, John Petrucci and Paul Waggoner got me into the progressive metal side that I'm playing, and Tosin Abasi got me into extended range.
>>60856401
why would you suggest the EQ before the small clone? I had it at the end because the multipedal puts out an obnoxiously shrill amount of treble, even with the treble on my amp is at 1 or 2.
design your own guitar and post them
http://www.frankmontag.com/editors.htm
>>60856580
>Kirk Hammett got me into wanting to take it seriously,
ironic
>>60856595
Ah, I didn't know that. In that case, yeah, keep it where it is.
EQ's are normally at or near the front of the chain, which is why I recommended it.
>>60856749
so tough, yet so beautiful
tasteful background font also
>>60856580
Nice, Paul Waggoner definitely got me into prog. metal too (him and AJ Minette from THA, I always found Dream Theater to be a little too try-hard) and I ws blown away the summer AAL's debut came out. I don't do extended range stuff though, at least not yet.
tfw I will never play smooth 4 bar jazz on my bass in fancy restaurants.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qReXSy2Z6w&index=1&list=PL9udQ7nrY8EV0WnD9eTdXRP_rE3yEvHpd
How hard is this supposed to be? I've been playing guitar for about a year and I can only get about as far as 10 seconds in the video. Am I terrible or this much harder than it looks?
>>60856920
a year of playing is not that long, don't stress yourself
>>60856813
I hadn't heard of THA till just now, I'm gonna have to check them out.
I've always been interested in extended range, but when I heard Animals I knew it was something I had to get into. Pic related.
>What guitarists got /gg/ into guitar in the first place, or even into specific musical styles?
originally, Kurt Cobain when I was 10.
J Mascis inspired me to learn lead guitar.
Nick Drake inspires me to buy a nice acoustic and really dedicate myself to Travis picking.
>>60856920
Just go through it slowly. Then gradually build up confidence with the fingerings and rhythm.
WHAT IS THIS SONG
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Q1aTzsqoDb
>>60857022
David Gilmour for wanting to play
Allan Holdsworth and Guthrie Govan for fusion jazz shred
Neil Young and David Tibet for relaxing on the technical element and playing acoustic
>>60857020
THA is cool, the guitar work is more classically-oriented than AAL. They've put out two amazing albums. Too bad they're inconsistent with touring/recording.
I was excited by the extended range stuff for a while but all the djent stuff that came after AAL's debut just never sounded as good. There was a band called Rooks from Chicago that were among the earliest pioneers of djent in the Midwest (my old band used to do shows with them) and used Agile 7-strings. Then Periphery came along and made djent poppy and more digestible for a larger audience, then AAL came along and took the music as far as it could go from a technical level. Within the space of about three years djent had come and gone for me.
I've seen your posts on here before, though. Nice guitar, really.
>>60857181
Djent's not really my thing either. (Though you wouldn't know it by looking.)
I got really into bass a couple years ago, but I had kinda already put all my eggs into the basket of being a guitarist. Having 10 strings kinda lets me be both, which I like.
>>60857111
Starts out sounding like Dust in the Wind strummed rather than picked.
Jackson JS22 Dinky (pic related), shitty Frontman 10G amp, DS-1 Boss distorsion amplifier
Been playing for 2 years and a half, with a squier stratocaster at first and the js22 since last summer
Dimebag and Petrucci are my gods
Goig to buy a new amp soon, thinking about a Line6 Spider or idk, some kind anon please help me or give any suggestion
And yes, I'm a student poorfag
I think I might get around to building a 12-string after I finish refinishing my Jazzy. How does this sound? I Squier Jazzmaster Special JM body, one of the older butterscotch alder ones, Warmoth 12-string hockey-stick headstock (not sure yet if I want plain dots or bound and blocked,) Danelectro 12-string bridge, just because I did play the newish semi-hollow 12's they have, and it brings surprisingly good intonation. I'll probably fill the hole for the strat input jack, I cannot deal with that thing, along with getting a custom pickguard routed for some old Electric XII p/u's
>>60857111
Horse with no name?
What's the best pedal power supply?
Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+?
>>60857022
>J Mascis
my man, he and Jack White made me by a guitar when I was about 11 but I never stuck at it.
Shit like Lou Reed and the Jesus and Mary Chain inspired me to pick up the guitar again because it made me feel like I could play this shit while still making worthwhile music.
>>60857497
Whatever Voodoo Lab thing has enough outputs for the pedals you want.
>>60857294
Try the Marshall MG carbon fiber. Good bang for the buck and Marshall tone. You should also look at the Blackstar ID/ core line. Roland Cube is worth a look as well. Spiders are just OK. There are better options.
>>60856236
No
That's about the best acoustic you can get for the money.
It's a level above anything else in its price range.
>>60857596
which one specifically? I have a max of 150€ to spend
>>60857345
that sounds cool as fuck except for the butterscotch body. that Squier butterscotch looks str8 up like baby shit.
>>60856236
If you can find any deals online, I'll recommend you a Cordoba D9.
All solid woods, comes with a hard case.
They sound as good or better than Taylor's or Martin's and shit all over Godin's stuff(like Seagull)
Anon bought one and loved it.
>>60857796
mfw there's an abused one on Reverb for $250 w/ free shipping
>>60857787
MG30CFX are around $159
Blackstar CORE20 ID, Same price $149
>>60857963
it's still 210€ here in my country, too much expensive for me atm :/
but would it be worth if instead of buying an amp this christmas (although I wanna get rid of the shitty sound of the Frontman 10G ASAP) I buy the Marshall one next year?
Btw, I play mainly in lead guitar of metal songs and sometimes rock, although I still like playing some riffs and stuff
>>60857345
>Warmoth 12-string hockey-stick headstock
digging that
Tell me why I shouldn't buy this, tune it to A, and play grindcore on it.
>>60859718
because you will need humbuckers to play grindcore, not single coils
>>60859749
Fair enough. Is this better?
>>60859882
fuck yes
>>60859749
Disagreed. With proper gain pedals you can make single coils work really well for anything. I play doom/stoner with a telecaster and it sounds great.
>>60859718
because hipsterism is faggotry
>>60860203
agreed
humbuckers help you get less noise though
>>60860203
i kinda agree but doom generally needs less output pickups when compared to grind
>>60860216
>implying less noise is what you need for grindcore
>>60860280
Still, just get an SD-1 and a preferred distortion pedal and you're set for anything. A properly set overdrive and maybe a clean boost is enough to make single coils sound similar to HBs
>>60860480
>any distortion from Boss
>>60860480
again i don't disagree but if i wanted to be in a grind band i would probably just get a HB guitar or like a single coil sized hot rail or something
>>60860554
>HM-2
>Not the single greatest pedal ever created
>>60860629
HM-2 is a one trick pony
>>60860554
>not knowing how to read
SD-1 is objectively best valued overdrive and excellent for driving a dist/fuzz pedal right after it. Wouldn't touch Boss distortions tho. I'm all about Black Arts.
>>60860582
I prefer the dynamic of single coils
>>60860674
>I prefer the dynamic of single coils
as do i but med range HBs are pretty flexible too. again, in the context of a grind band i would still get HBs unless i could only ever have one guitar ever
>>60859718
>grinder
>buying an instrument
Poser
>>60860674
>Super Distortion
>Wouldn't touch Boss distortions tho
>>60860629
>implying it doesn't sound like shit
>SS distortion
>great

>>60857795
Thanks m8. Yeah the color isn't great and I'll probably refinish it. Dream color for that fucker would be candy Oxblood. Best metallic nowadays IMHO
>>60858936
Well, not QUITE like that
SD-1 is Super Overdrive you epic fucking retard
>>60860868
forgot to link
>>60860934
>>60860899
>Well, not QUITE like that
how so? Did you mean a banana headstock (Kramer 5150 style)?
>>60860934
>>60860994
kek, my bad. Got it mixed up with the Dimarzio pickups.
>implying there's much of a difference between an overdrive and a distortion
it's not like it's a clean booster or something
>>60861049
Overdrive can be used as a clean booster, a drive booster or a mild distortion. SD-1 is great for any of them and taken the ridiculous pricepoint, there's hardly any reason NOT to own one.
>>60861049
well a clipping diode and a emulation of overloading a system are not the same thing
>>60856749
i'd sell all of my guitars to own one like this, hell I think I'd sell a lot more shit if this existed.
>>60861159
Blades style > toggle style switches all day every day.
>>60861159
a regular ass LP type guitar with what, coil split options or something? thats pretty achievable
>>60861159
So basically just sell everything you own and go see a luthier.
>>60861101
it always distorts a bit
>>60861108
>implying a clipping diode isn't overloading a system, in that case, the diode
im from a third world country and poor as fuck

it is
>>60861292
but no
>>60861291
ha, uruguay here
check if you can get an old series Marshall MG15R, those were alright for the quality and features. Or you could maybe get a Laney. Another option is getting a really cheap amp that has decent cleans and then get a multi fx, one of my buddies had a pack with a memphis strat copy and a roxy amp and it sounded alright for practice. Then he bought a behringer X V-Amp. Once we had a band, the singer bought a Laney LX35R and he would let this guy use it, we used it for gigs and all.
>>60861291
check this out, another of my buddies has it and it's better than the one that my other buddy had:

It's probably a bad idea desu. I bet you would be amazed at the amount of noise you can reduce with an isolated power supply.

I'm going to treat myself this Christmas
I have a MIJ telecaster and I want to upgrade the pickups
My question is what is the best telecaster pickup that I can get with a max budget of 300 ameriburgers?
My choices so far are:
Loli Vintage T's
CS51 Nocasters
Twisted Tele
Any other suggestions?
>>60861912
I know. I'm gonna use a iso brick. But I need more than one. And to be honest, I do get some of thatv60-cycle hum, but it really isn't that bad.
>>60862044
>Loli Vintage T's
>loli

>>60861958
you do realize he has a HB in the bridge of that tele right? its a single sized hot rail made by SD or dimarzio

Do you guys have any tips for singing while playing things more technical than chords? It's like trying to figure out constantly changing polyrhythms in your head and my brain doesn't want to.

oh, I didn't order one, just posting it
So someone near where I live is selling a Boss RC-300 for 400 Canadian, is this worth?
>>60862325
I gotta give to you honestly. There's no logical way to work it out, you just have to keep ramping up, singing stuff that makes you mess up. Also try talking about something unrelated while playing.
Hey, axe fx/dsl/recording guy, are you in here?
Been thinking about it for a while, want a little input. What's the most I should pay for a used axe fx 2? And if I'm not gigging with it would it be worth it to get the foot controller?
>>60862192

>>60862325
just play what you want to play A LOT,
get it so ingrained in muscle memory that it is like walking, then singing should be easy.
sorry for the obvious advice, but I don't think there is a real shortcut in my experience
>>60862480
no. those are super not worth it unless you really rely on it for an established live performance
Honestly fuck rondo music for their tempting sales. This mandolin is $70. How can I resist that? .. I'm already planning a bass project, gonna have to sell some stuff.
>>60862263
I use it often. It's a one trick pony but it does the trick very very well. Good for layering backgrounds and stuff. I'll play a chord, freeze it, add a light chorus and then loop it. Play over it for days.

Play a lot and try to talk/have a conversation while playing until you become a spoken word master.
If you're alone and don't have anyone to talk to while playing (like me) then you just have to practice till you get it right, song by song, there's no trick to it.

What's your opinion on the Taylor GA vs. GS debate?
I'm considering the Taylor 21Xce-K DLX (with the X being either 4 or 6) and since I'm a lefty, I can't actually try them out.
I play a decent range of styles, and I've heard that you get versatility from the GA, but that the GS is much richer when it comes to overall sound.
I am curious about the unpopular Fender models like the Toronado, Cyclone, Lead, etc.
Which one do you recommend checking out /gg/?
>>60862952
Learn vocal exercises and practice them
>>60862988
toronados cost too much but have a fan base. cyclones are cool but are too rare and leads were kinda ass and the 80s catch on crowd these days isn't interested in guitars of the era

according to Ed Roman, the original banana headstock was by J Frog and they copied him. Is that true or was him full of shit as usual? My understanding was that they outlined that shape with EVH to avoid trademark trouble with Gibson (after tracing a Ibanez Destroyer one).

Anyone have any tips for painting guitars?
Me and my dad are trying to turn a shitty Ion Strat clone into a playable guitar. I'm not too knowledgeable with the technical aspects, but from what he's told me, it's a decent clone, and it has a lot of potential. Maple body, neck is straight and everything is in order. He still has the pickups from his old Highway One strat, as well as the tuners and bridge. Thing is absolutely caked in lacquer, so we're going to deal with that tomorrow. Really excited about this, I've been playing an Epiphone G400 custom for a year now, and it really isn't for me.
After that, we're going to be painting it. I'm leaning towards either a vintage blonde, or a lighter surf green. Anything I need to look out for when buying paint or painting it?
>>60862570
Least valid complaint against a cheap mandolin I can think of. It's a short scale instrument, even 10 dollar ukuleles can hold their tune. A mandolin isn't much worse, and I haven't had any problems with my SX guitar's tuners.

Why have a DD3 and a CC? Just go for the DD7, the analog mode on it is just as good as a CC imo. Also do you use the Electric Mistress as more of a flanger or a chorus, cuz it does the latter better than the CE-2

For the most part single coils are going to sound like ass for grindcore. Gridlink did it with single coils, but you gotta remember that guy had immaculate technique. He was also using Holy Grails, so whether you consider those singles or not is up to you.

Check out BKPs tele pickups. I've had good experiences with them in the past, but they definitely have a voice to them that's not for everyone.
>>60862089
I think a lot of people tend to miss that. Gridlink is really the closest I can think to singles for grind, even then they were Holy Grails.
>>60861524
Nice board anon. Get an isolated power supply when you can, but you've heard that before.
I wanted to get a Freeze or one of those Super Ego pedals for ages, would it be pointless considering I use an EBow looped anyway?

My live doom setup is just an Anarchy Audio Vagiant into a 5150, although I may swap it for an old RAT or R2DU at some point. Second clip is a bit more than that, but yeah. Entirely guitar still.

Hey man, over here the most I'd pay for an AxeFX II is $2500 (AUD), but it'd have to be practically mint. That's about $1800 USD for comparison.
The foot controller is $1000 here, so I'm going to be inclined to say no. You can do simple switching with the pedal input on the back anyway, and any quick changes using AxeEdit over USB.
Anything more complex than that and you might want to think about it. The MFC controller is a killer piece of equipment. Just depends on if you can accomplish your needs with a single pedal in, or even just a basic MIDI controller.
I've been meaning to setup MIDI passthrough from my LX49 to the AxeFX to see if I can set up loop and what not on that for laughs.
>>60863765
If you get one, report back. Hoping it's worth the cost.
>>60863790
You sing a scale making a weird noise and then move a half step up and do it again. Look them up, also learn proper technique first. Singer correctly is easy, but singing incorrectly is much easier and comes much more naturally.

First theory lesson for bass is FOLLOW THE FUCKING SNARE DRUM. The worst thing you can be as a bassist is off time. The drummer keeps the time in the band, and he usually does that on the snare. So when in doubt, follow the snare drum.
Second theory lesson for bass is FOLLOW THE FUCKING MELODY. Do it in time, of course (see Rule #1), but do it all the same. In any song, the melody is God. Obey the melody, and your playing WILL fit the song.
>>60864831
The CC is real analog bucket brigade. The DD7 can't even compare to that. And if you think a Mistress, even a 70s original, can trump the flare of an original CE2...I just, I..no.
>>60866063
Looks like some sort of Gibby Les Paul, plus a Bigsby added to it
>>60866850
I prefer digital delay but when I had a CC, the DD7 sounded better in analog mode to me. Also an Electric Mistress is better, the CE-2 isn't a godly chorus, it's not even the best boss chorus. If we were debating an EM with a CE-1, I'd go with the CE-1, but not a CE-2

Hey Chicago anon how you been? I just reaped we both have Egnater amps and I'm running the Tweaker 40 head
>>60866039
EB-0 is a niche instrument. It works well for some things but not for others.
That's not what you want in a first bass.
For this reason, I'd recommend a Fender bass model, either a Precision or a Jazz bass.
But models work very well in any setting and any genre, are available at any price point from beginner grade to fully handmade customs, and can be bought literally anywhere in the world from any one of hundreds of brands.
If I had to choose between them, I'd pick the Precision, but that's just my preference based on how it sounds in a band setting. Others prefer the sound and thinner neck of the Jazz bass, and you really can't go wrong with either.
>>60866022
If you're using an external power amp and sending it to a cabinet, basically none. You can load an amp block and start playing and it should sound pretty good. If you're going direct? There can be a bit more fiddling involved, but still not a ton.
You should be able to get a great tone just off the amp block, all the parameters behind it are more for really fine tweaking. It'll take you around six-twelve months to get a real strong understanding of the unit though.
Here's a clean clip I did awhile ago, just keep in mind these are after my accident, so my playing is a bit wonky.

http://vocaroo.com/i/s05lTf6LJe4x
>>60867383
that app looks really interesting, what kind of cable do you use though?
>>60867458
I'm using a 1/4" instrument cable to the iRig 2 adapter, to my phone, and back out the adapter through another 1/4" to a direct box running an XLR-to-1/8" cable to the Line In on my PC.
Probably some ass backwards way of doing things, but I'm not really good at the whole cabling and audio setup thing.
I did figure out a lot of the noise in my signal was because I was a dumbass and didn't have the ground lift of my direct box turned on, though.
>>60866309
yeah, they really don't have many decent guitar bodies. they don't even have an SG style guitar. but that Jaguar body has me hard as diamonds.
>>60867563
that hardware
>>60867645
whats wrong with it?
>>60866924
Also a CE-2 is better. The Mistress isn't a godly flanger/chorus substitute. It's not even the best EHX flanger. If we were debating a EM with a CE-2, I'd go with the CE-2.
See how easy that is?
What is the best p90 guitar?
>>60867893
>It's not even the best EHX flanger
Um, isn't it their only flanger?
>It's not a godly flanger
Nope, it's a godly chorus, better than the CE-2

I'm deliberating on starting to make my own pedals. Could anyone recommend some good resources for schematics and PCB's?
>>60868494
Damn that Teisco is nice... How is it?
I remember seeing pedal threads at /diy/, maybe ask there.

>says the mistress is better than the CE2

>>60868551
Didn't even think about /diy/. Its pretty nice, I really got it for a steal. Warm tone would be an understatement though, this thing is DARK. All four pickups on in the 'Rhythm' position is just vibrations. I'm thinking of replacing the 250k pots with 1M to make it just a little brighter

This is probably true if you are one of the many E E E E E E E E bass players. If you're slapping and popping and playing funky grooves, people take notice.

Some of the new squire reissues are pretty good, specifically the '72 Thinline Reissue and the J Mascis Jazzmaster, and those would leave a couple hundred in your budget. You could always look used and get a pretty good intermediate guitar for $500

>>60869473
did you use a pick with bass? I had no problem with timing going from guitar to bass when I picked, but playing with my fingers took some getting used to

Nice pick. You can't go wrong with any song from that album though, it's pure gold. God, I love Megadeth. They went here 3 years ago and last year but I couldn't afford the ticket :(
>>60869838
It's great and has very versatile customization, the only gripe I got is that there's no delay or reverb so I had to use my Boss FRV-1 that I used for vocals but otherwise it's a solid amp. What type of music does your band play?
>>60869862
I was talking about the video. Did you watch his demo at the end?
>>60869407
In that case you could get a Fender MIM, or if you don't mind going almost 20 years back, something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Epiphone-By-Gibson-Les-Paul-Custom-Pro-1996-Ebony-/181812982721?hash=item2a54e5f3c1:g:tCcAAOSw9N1VsuvD
I'd totally get that one, provided I could try it. And I'm not even a Les Paul guy.
>>60868590
EM is way more interesting than a standard chorus since it adds just a slight flange without going into overbearing trippy sounds if done right, a CE-2 is a boring 80s hair band in a box chorus that, while doing that really well, being boring. The CE-1 is cool though its got a much more natural sound and alot more subtle
Btw, I haven't heard a real CE-1 in person, only clones of it. But I've heard a real CE-2 in person, wasn't that interesting and the guy who had it replaced it too. Also had a EM clone, still blew away the CE-2 I heard and the EM clone wasn't even going through a rig as nice as the one the CE-2 went through
>>60868383
There are some pedalboard friendly clones out there that get pretty close to where I'd say they're a better live usage option, albeit a bit pricey as they tend to go into boutique prices
>>60869915
Prog rock. Tonight we worked on incorporating a keyboard part into this 5/4 Latin groove song. It's coming together.
I'm not a huge fan of on-board effects myself, I much prefer pedals. But Egnater's "lunchbox" amps are definitely versatile. I love the tube blending knob on the Rebel 20.
I want one of these so bad
Picking up a Blues Junior tomorrow. More of a Twin person myself, but the Blues isn't costing me anything. I'm pretty excited.
>>60870608
its a decent little amp. I got a Hot Rod deluxe instead because of the wattage, but I still really like the Blues Junior
>>60870627
It's being lent to me for a few months. I've never owned an amplifier that really shines with cleans. I've always emulated my cleans off the AxeFX.
Should be good fun, although I'm not much of an EL84 person.
Know if it has an effects loop? I'm getting the feeling it won't.
>>60870640
it doesn't, but it still takes pedals really well. I wanted more than a 40W because I use it to play live, and I've got a 4X12 Blue voodoo cab I plan on running it through with another group.
the hot rod does have an effects loop though.
I haven't seen a cover thread in a while. I wanted to start one but I don't have one of those lists with artist names on them

>>60870691
Yeah my clean tone live is the AxeFX out to the DSL or 6505, so volume as never been a problem.
>it doesn't, but it still takes pedals really well.
I don't tend to use pedals, I was hoping to throw my rack in the loop so I could use my crazy delays, but I'll guess I'll have to load them at the front.
>>60870856
Doesn't belong to me, so modding is out of the picture unfortunately. I mainly plan to use it to dial in my AxeFX better.
