Why would you do that to yourself
Just buy a Precision Bass for christ's sake
no get a jazz
don't be boring
>>63333578
P-Basses with their nasty fucking necks are for cunts.
J-Bass or Rickenbacker.
>>63333690
Jazz basses are nice, but P's are better for beginners imo, simple, effective
A Rickenbacker for a first bass is fucking stupid
>>63333781

I'm still trying to figure it out
it's do hard to dial in XD
>>63333804
Sounds good in every band, can be used in any situation, not that Jazz's can't, but its much easier to have a shitty tone in the context of a band
>>63333808
I have a strat, I'd just put it on the neck pickup, turn the tone knob all the way down, then run it through my boss DS 1X and turn the low up on the pedal and turn the bass up on my amp.

jeez why do you dislike P's so much
A fully dimed Jazz bass scoops mids, and can get drowned out by live drums and loud guitar, especially if you don't have a good amp with the right EQ

Lichtenberg figuring a guitar, neat idea. Except I wouldn't be spraying the electrolyte with the voltage turned on, that's about 2kV from a microwave oven transformer, could very easily flash through the conductive mist onto your hand.
>>63334042
>fully dimed
>>63334159
Yeah, if I ever get around to trying something like that I wouldn't do that either. There are a number of things I'd change about that setup in the interests of safety.

>>63334876
Stamina and rigorous rhythm are usually the most sought after qualities of a bassist in a band.
Essentials would be knowing your scales and having good rhythm. Also learn how to have a good form, ie hand placement, proper way to fingerstyle/slap, and muting.
As for exercices the only kind of wrong ones are the ones you aren't paying attention to.
>>63334681
start with muting with both hands
>>63334990
Thanks,I'll make sure to keep that in mind
whats the point of learning guitar at age 20.
Most people had released or were gearing up to release their magnum opus at this point.
I'm wasting my time.
>>63335079
Agreed, you should kill yourself.

>>63335079
yeah, what's the point in making and playing music like wtf lmao
>>63335079
When people ask me how to get good on guitar I tell them to start playing ten years before they actually did. Fact is, if you haven't picked up a guitar by the time you're 20 then maybe you don't want to play enough.
someone posted a similar question before
but my guitar gets pretty noisy, and the hum goes away completely if I touch any metal part of the guitar. I heard it could be because poor grounding or something, or is it just a side effect of having non-noiseless single coil pickups
>>63335337
depending on the electrical stuff around, even with humbuckers you'll get some noise. The things you can do that mitigate it are humbuckers/noiseless pickups, grounding the bridge, and shielding the cavities.
>>63332023
>it literally isn't caused by the but
>If the open strings are drastically worse than sure
As I said, they are. I do get buzz sometimes when fretting further down and picking harder, but that's not the main issue.
>otherwise it's a question of setup, frets, or neck
>I thought you said you already tried fixing it with setup but I'm starting to find his hard to believe.
I've been through setup and everything I could do to the neck short of mechanical mods tens of times back and forth. Checking/fixing the frets is the one thing I didn't do and this I also wouldn't try myself.
>Loosen your truss rod.
It's literally unscrewed completely loose. And if I screw it back to the point of feeling any resistance whatsoever on it, the buzz on open strings gets 10x worse.
If you go by Graphtech's nut manual as a reference, they recommend 0.25mm clearace on Low E on 1st fret when fretted at 3rd. I have literally 0.00mm clearance when I fret on 3rd. In fact, I'm not sure if I even have the 0.25mm on 1st fret on open string.
Look, I'm quite new to the instrument and I respect it and the people with many years more knowledge and experience with it than me. But I've been reading about it and setting and re-setting it back and forth for the whole week long and from that experience and from reading opinions of many other people I can't see how it could be anything but the nut being simply too low.
I'll post when I'm done replacing it in a couple of days (waiting for a pack of fresh strings to arrive too). If I end up fucking it up then I'll humbly accept your "told you".
>>63335473
what can I use to shield the cavities aside from copper tape? Aluminum foil?
Do you know if Fenders usually come unshielded out of factory?
Just ordered this. Can't fucking wait
>>63335563
here comes the meme train
Do you have experiences with reverbs and basses?
Would you recommend it?
>>63335487
you can diy frets, but even if you don't plan to you can confirm this is the problem by checking for high/low frets with a credit card. You can check for a curve to the neck with a larger straight edge.
>>63335079
This is the kind of mindset that never fails to fascinate me. It's like there's no middle ground for people like you. You want to have a choice of either being a completely worthless player who didn't achieve anything or Jimi Hendrix right out of the gate and it's plain wrong. Start practicing, give it roughly 2-3 years and then start/join bands and gig. Hell, some people don't even do that much, they just learn some cowboy chords and start jamming with other people. As a result, in a few years you will be a young musician who performs occasionally at places and sells some of his compositions on Bandcamp. The bottom line is to stop daydreaming about being a worldwide sensation at a still young age, because even being a hardworking genius isn't enough to achieve that. For that you also need LOTS AND LOTS of LUCK.
>>63335606
Meme away, friends. There's no harshing my mellow today
>>63335634
Have that same reverb, its really sweet but a tad pricey
>>63335487
your neck needs work bud. If the truss rod is loose and you don't have enough relief you need to remove the strings and neck and clamp it straight.
>>63335079
lmao you're young, Efrim Menuck from Godspeed didnt release his first proper album with the band until he was 27, get some lessons you silly bugger.
>>63335530
aluminum foil can fork but it's difficult to keep in place so use plenty of adhesive. make sure to use heavy aluminium foil. You don't want any to come loose.
>>63335079
Not really. You have the all the benefits of the 21st century. Decades ago, people had no tabs or ultimate guitar, Youtube Tutorials, Tab Pro and Power Tab.
Be glad don't have to learn to read sheet music, or try to learn purely from improvising and by ear.
All it takes is a quick Tab search of your favorite songs, and you can have a hella good time on guitar. Now go learn some AC~DC guitar riffs.
>>63335079
Nigger, I'm 33 and I just picked it up. I've literally been dreaming to have a guitar since I was 12 but parents wouldn't let me and I didn't have means nor opportunity to go against them. Then came college, early jobs, family and all that shit taking up all my time.
Now I was finally in the position to just go and buy one and I'm having the time of my life sucking terribly at it and making my fingers nearly bleed every evening.
So fuck you and your whiny ass. Go watch the latest harem animu if you don't find the fun in playing or can't handle the learning curve.
>>63335657
Fucking this, though truth be told it's so easy to get this mindset and I've been through phases of it myself. But fuck that, I'm doing it for my own fun first and foremost, and if I was meant to be a fucking guitar prodigy then it will manifest itself sooner or later.
>>63335563

Literally no reason not to.
>>63335079
My parents forced me to learn clarinet age 11. I stopped playing age 17 and left the orchestra.
Then 2 years later i started learning bass cause I had a lot of fun playing music, the proplem was the choice of instrument.
And now age 23 I bought a trombone just for fun, gonna take some lessons for beginning and then just let it ride.
You will never be to old, if you really want to make music. People who tell you to be to old are just frustrated by not having enough will or time to practice.
And i hope you will take a teacher for at least one year.
i'm itching to play a show. next one is the 2nd of April. i'll get a more comprehensive shot of my gear.

what kinda cable do i need for a bass to digital interface? ts, trs, or trs to ts?
>>63333202
Cause #1, your playing ability won't be adequate to necessitate the need for 2 extra strings
#2, the high C# or w/e, is useless
#3, if the music you plan to play uses the Low B, you can very well make a 4 string tuned BEAD or AEAD since music that uses ultra low notes do not use the really high notes. And if it does, it's out of place and is just virtuoso wanker shit
>>63333668
Sold a double humbucker Ibanez and got a PJ bass. I don't miss the bridge pickup one bit. If it wasn't for the Jazz neck, I'd be happy with a regular P.
>>63336332
>virtuoso wanker shit
Yes. Am I the only one that cannot stand listening to Yngwie, Jeff Beck, Paul Gilbert, etc? It's not pleasant to my ears
>>63336373
really? You ever solo it? I never liked the PJ combo.
>>63332666
I still tend to use a TS-9 or an HM-2 boost but I've modded my DSLto have a bit less gain. Can have fun with my Les Paul straight in though.
Only an in-room mic here.

>>63335079
Because it's fun. Play for yourself.
>>63335563
Congratulations. RG652AHM right? That's one of the best models Ibanez has made in years. I'm not huge on the stock pups (still a decent DiMarzio pickup for once) but that's the best bridge they make.
I REALLY need to get a decent Ibanez six string one of these days. I was meant to buy an RG560 off a guy ages ago but I haven't had the spare change. All my cash has been going into my other hobby. Ugh.
>>63336492
Yes, however I have brand new strings on it, and the harsh bright metallic clank just reminds me of the cannibal corpse bassist and that just pisses me off.
I am glad I got a PJ though, ~40% P and 100% J with the tone knob cut a little bit sounds REALLY good actually.
>fernades edition

Why didn't you just buy a Kiesel Aries A6? Same funky design, and actually made in America.
>>63336595
>trusting legal mexicans over super racist japanese
>>63336332
I'm not that much into metal and doom so, if i would switch to 5 strings, I would prefer the C#.
Never played it, but it seems more logical to me, than playing a B-string.
>>63336569
>RG652AHM right?
Yup. I've never tried the Air Norton/Tone Zone pickups, but I'm hoping for the best. I might end up replacing them
>>63336595
Nowhere near the same design and completely different aesthetics. I briefly looked into Kiesels, but decided an Ibanez Prestige would be better for me
>>63336595

>actually made in America.
lol why

>>63336697
the B is more useful because it expands the range of the bass near where you actually play. The low E is used very often, having more notes near that is useful. On the other hand you rarely play the highest notes, do having the high string is only used for the added patterns and wanking capabilities. The B does the same thing but it is harder to play.
>>63336824
Seems to be right.
Maybe sounds weird, because I'm a bassist, but don't like the ultra low tones.
May could depend on the sound of my bass and amp, but I really prefer playing A and above.
Atm I'm more into slapping and it seems stupid to slap notes lower than E if you prefer clean playing.
>>63336824
Agreed, and having 21+ frets is beyond silly, considering frets 12 to 15, maybe 17 get used extremely seldom, even for solo virtuoso crap.
When I had my 24 fret ibanez, I DID like jamming on those super high frets with disortion on... or clean, with a delay and chorus effects
>>63336332
a 6 string is tuned to BEADGC
the c is not useless.
nothing is useless.
what kind of music do you listen to friend
>>63336996
Heavy metal
>>63336955
for cool tones the high frets are pretty useful as you say. I'm recently a big fan of going nang boyz, and the use of melodic bass fills is worth listening to. The songs they have with just 1 guitar, the bass jumps in the the guitars range with the guitar plays a fill or something. Pretty cool. Plus, moose calls.
What's the reason for the fretboard to go to over the unreachable part of the body?
i can't stop cranking up low and hi and turning down my mid on my amp
>>63337057
more skilled musicians are able to play into the body
>>63336955
>solo virtuoso crap.
>When I had my 24 fret ibanez, I DID like jamming on those super high frets with disortion on... or clean, with a delay and chorus effects
You sound like some sort of bad bait.
>>63336996
to summarize most of it, Post Rock, Prog Metal, Folk, Country, Rap, and electronic dance stuff
>>63337057
You can reach that part on the cello and upright bass because technique
>>63337057
obviously for tapping m8
>>63337085
>>63337096
imo regardless of technique, that's unergonomic design. But if there was an easier access the sound would probably suffer from it.
>>63337093
How do you even listen to prog metal without realising that a 6 string bass can be useful
>>63337062
What amp? That just may be the way the EQ needs to be set to sound good.
I like muh SCOOPED MIDS. But it is obnoxious on my old Peavey. On my Crate, it sorta needs the Upper-Mids (2k or 4k Hz?) cut several decibels in the EQ
>>63337138
I know 6 strings are used a lot, but I also think John Myung is not also pleasant to listen to.
I also LOATHE any sort of click and clank sound from bass. Especially when the strings slap the frets.
>>63336718
>Yup. I've never tried the Air Norton/Tone Zone pickups, but I'm hoping for the best. I might end up replacing them
People love the set but I find they have this cocked wah quality that doesn't gel with me. I tend to use Holy Divers or a Painkiller+Holy Diver set in the Ibanez guitars I've had.
I had Miracle Men in one of my old RG1527s and the guy who bought it off me loved them.
Regardless, I think the fret board/ neck goes over the body because of the design and structure of the sorta primitive, yet, sophisticated classical instruments.
I DO think that modern guitars and basses have too many frets.
>>63337168
meant to say is also not always*
Not Always Pleasant to listen to
>>63337057
because the fingerboard breaks away from the body it's not an issue
>>63337207
>I DO think that modern guitars and basses have too many frets.
Just look at Uli jon roth's 36 fret 7 string and have a stroke so we can finish this
>>63337168
>I also LOATHE any sort of click and clank sound from bass.

What picks you guys use or are most popular? The ones I have are a cheap dozen that came with my guitar. I'm fairly new but I still don't think the distracting clicking noise and plastic feeling of it is very nice
>>63337367
dunlop tortex .88s
>>63337367
Jazz IIIs are very popular. I've been using the maxgrip carbon fiber version for just over five years now.
>>63337405
These and .73s are probably the most popular picks I know of.
>>63337367
>I'm fairly new but I still don't think the distracting clicking noise and plastic feeling of it is very nice
work on the way you attack the string then, you need to use less force in your right hand and change your angle if you want less pick noise
I always get sweaty when I play so I take off my shirt, now the back of my telecaster smells like my belly button, or like ass if you prefer
how the fuck do I fix this?
What are the best acoustic brands in the 400-700$ range? I heard Yamaha is alright at that range and the other day at a shop i was considering a Seagull but i honestly dont know.
I live way out in the wilderness and the only decent shop in town has mostly sub 400$ equipment with a few above that mark
>>63335606
>Implying made in america = good
Kek
Kiesel is an awesome brand but I will never get a MIA Fender or a Nashville Gibson, or even a Jackson custom shop (quality control is crap; well documented around the internet), you can do better for your money with a MIJ guitar or even one of the Ibanez premiums, which only need a pickup swap to be top-tier instruments desu

What's the difference between them? I notice that the Jazz IIIs look like rubber and reading the reviews it says it has a better grip, but is there a difference in sound? As in what makes someone pick up one over the other
>>63337436
Didn't think about this much. I noticed that when I strummed harder it made more click but I didn't realize the angle made a difference as well

>>63337542
Standard Jazz III are much smaller than regular picks and they're pointy, which make them really precise for leads
>>63337575
Aren't those bass picks ? The only guitarist I know who uses them is Kerry King, and he isn't really a virtuoso.
>>63337138
Have you played a cello, violin, etc, it's extremely ergonomic because of how your hand and forearm flatten out with the fretboard as you go higher.
>>63337367

They're just picks. Find one with a thickness you like and just use that. Jesus, it's like listening to old men talk about what the best golf tee is.
>>63337542
jazz iii is a small pick that is mostly meant for playing lead, a larger pick allows you to strum faster and harder without fucking your hand or dropping your pick. Personally though I prefer jazz iii for lead and very thin picks for rhythm. Dunlop USA nylons are incredible for that. They have a nice tone too.
>>63337607
A violin is small, so that problem isn't really there anyway, but upright bassists look goofy when they do that.

Seagull guitars are typically great. Breedlove and Maton could be worth looking at in that price range as well.
Realistically though play everything you can and pick the one that plays and sounds the best to you. I used to have a real cheap Yamaha acoustic as my recording guitar (for acoustic steel string) for years because it sounded great. It was an outlier for sure though.
>>63337542
The red Jazz IIIs are nylon, the black are a hardened nylon, grey are carbon fiber, the transparent yellow and 2mm black ones are Ultex.
As for sound material and thickness would be my bet but I couldn't explain the physics behind it. The angle you pick at makes a difference too, a lot of guys like Paul Gilbert and Devin Townsend rave about picking at an angle to get a scraping sound. I tend to pick parallel for clarity.
Jazz IIIs are extremely popular because they improve accuracy when playing for most people due to their size. Most of them are 1.38mm and have barely any flex in them as well.
The main drawback on Jazz IIIs is strumming. You get used to it eventually and it feels no different but it can be very awkward at first. They make leads and tremolo picking trivially easy though.

You do notice a sound with picks. Considering you can get sample packs from Dunlop for free there's no reason not to try a whole bunch and see what you like the most.
I prefer Ultex the most but they don't make a maxgrip jazz III version and the carbon fiber variants last a lot longer.
>>63337648
I've had the same Celluloid black pearl (.32 I think) for strumming for something like five years now haha. It looks like shit but still works well.
>>63337687
what picks do you currently use?
>>63337449
If you actually wash the inside of your belly button (with soap) when you shower, it stops smelling rancid all the time.
>>63337367
>>63337648
I use jazz iii for everything. Bigger picks just feel way too massive and i can't stand the feel and sound of thinner picks.
>>63337735
See >>63337422
Not sure if they still do it, but you used to be able to email Jim Dunlop and request a sample pack of picks. They sent me two of every Jazz III pick in the range (including XLs) as well as the Ultex and Carbon Fibers which weren't being sold at the time yet.
I pretty much get sent a large pack of picks every year for free now for my "continued support" after buying so many picks over the years.
>>63337776
Yeah I tried to use a .88mm tortex a few weeks ago and it felt like I was trying to play with a surfboard haha.
>>63337367
I only use these two.
I used to laugh at 'artist signature' picks but the JP ones are surprisingly nice to use. The Jazz III Ultex is also bretty gud for strumming on acoustic. I use it sometimes on my bass when playing certain songs.
When I was younger I used the purple Tortex H3 because my cousin gave me an Altoid can full of used H3s. Lasted me many years kek.
.38 is great for acoustic, it's like it isn't even there.
>>63337679
>implying im fat or dirty
>>63337741
I do, everyday. Of course it gets a tiny bit smelly after a few hours of playing. There is no lingering problem with my bellybutton itself, Its just that over the past few months I guess the smell has built up on the back of my guitar
>>63337539
>>63337564
thanks
>>63337827
If you like the JP picks hop on eBay and see if you can find some of the Prototype version. The tip was beveled so it comes to a real point. I don't really like the JPs they sell now but the prototypes were amazing.
I highly recommend trying the 2mm Ultex as well if you're into both of those. The JPs are 2.2 from memory so the 2mm are slightly thinner but they're also physically smaller than a JP.
Do you people only use one pick type or what?
I like medium- heavy cellulite picks for single string fast thrashy tremolo type playing
Jazz III are great for 1-2, maybe 3 string fast, precise, accurate playing
Nylon .88mm for strumming chords
And the medium and heavy nylons are good for full range sorta of arpeggio, scale, long stretchy riffs.
When I was younger, I only used one type of pick
>>63337817
for me personally, i think my .88 tortex picks are too thick

>>63337943
sorry, 0.60mm I thought .88 was thin. I think of my picks as thin, medium, heavy
Who the fuck uses the 1.14mm Turtle picks?
Let me show u my colekshun
>>63337886
It's just a person to person thing. I know guys like you who change pick for what they're doing, and then there's guys like me who use one pick for everything.
It doesn't really matter in the end, whatever gets the job done for you.
>>63337891
Yeah it's all down to preference. I used to play in a metal band with a dude who used .32mm nylon picks. I highly recommend grabbing a pack of Jazz IIIs at some point to try though. 1.38mm sounds like a lot but it doesn't feel anywhere near as cumbersome as a 1 or 1.5mm tortex pick.
>>63337908

>Adelaide
Adelaide is great man. It's like a big country town. I can get anywhere in twenty minutes and there's no traffic outside of a two hour window every day.
Plenty of good guitar shops, venues and we get Black Conjuration every year.
I'm big into motorcycles as well and Adelaide is surrounded by amazing windy roads.
I love Toronto as well but they're not really comparable.

Any jazz studies majors in a relatively normal, not exceptionally renowned program? What skill level were you at prior? I'm talking about the University of Oregon program. I've a patchwork level of guitar skill; taught by a jazz guitarist for awhile but only learned a baseline level of improvisational theory. I can suss out keys given chords, know how to construct chord progressions, can solo through the pentatonic major/minor, full ionian/aeolian, and dorian across the neck on both the 6th and 5th strings, but that's about it in terms of theory.
A mile-wide inch-deep, kinda. I'm working out of a variety of guitar workbooks on theory and sight-reading now in anticipation for my audition a literal year away, but just wanted to ask if anyone can attest to the level of skill expected in an average program. I'm confident I could meet the mark my second year, but would rather nail this first opportunity come next February if I can. Any firsthand advice is appreciated, thanks /gg/.
Zvex Fuzz Factory or Death by Audio Fuzz War?
>>63338298
750 is way too high, I've seen them go for 550-600 on reverb. The pawn shops aren't as sought after as the 65' reissues
>>63338891
This makes my brain hurt and not like guitar as much
Just jam dude
>>63339211
If I'm taking all these loans out for college, I may as well get more out of it then a single degree, and what better than a jazz studies degree as a guitarist? There are no better jammers than jazz jammers: it's the literal job.
>>63332528
>studying music
Is it a meme? Am I throwing away years of my life by studying an instrument at Uni or an academy? How much experience do I need to bring to the table to start that kind of education?
I'm finishing my bachelor in electrical engineering next year, I've only been playing bass for a year now. I'd love to learn upright bass, continue playing bass and learn about jazz.
>>63339693
Do you enjoy teaching? If not please don't get a degree in music.
>>63339836
That's what I thought.
>>63339856
I was considering enrolling in art school for piano performance a few years back, but figured that I needed to be realistic in the extreme likelihood I don't make it as a performer, which is teaching. I can't imagine myself teaching for a career though.
>>63339896
Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Maybe I can just bend my electronics background towards music, a small business with yet another "boutique brand" selling overpriced pedals "handmade in Germany"? Although small businesses are a huge risk here.
>>63339693
EE here. You can try for a physics minor or something with a music focus. That's a thing I think.
>>63339693
>>63339836
Double major you niggers. Best of both worlds. There is nothing wrong with getting a degree in music provided you're not looking to live off that degree, and have made sound plans taking that fact into consideration.
>>63340017
>double major in two subjects with literally no overlapping classes
>one of them is one of the more difficult engineering majors
good luck.
>>63339975
I was thinking about audio/media engineering as well, could be interesting.
>>63340017
Thankfully I have another 7 years of time, so that's definitely an option for me. I don't want to "waste" years at Uni for a degree that I don't need though.
>>63340049
>I was thinking about audio/media engineering as well, could be interesting.
The thing about the physics angle is that one of the main things you'd work with is acoustics which directly relates to that upright bass you wanted to pick up.
>>63340077
Yes, sure. But I'm always looking at job opportunities for different studies here, and most engineering related things are A: well paid and B: in high demand here. Audio engineering would just be a way to kinda bring my EE background to the table and maybe branch it off in a direction that is related to music.

>intonation and setup are damn near perfect
>I want to swap to different strings though
The new strings have lower tension, do I just leave everything alone and simply adjust the truss rod until my intonation is correct again? Or should I measure the relief and get it right that way?
What's the best tuning pedal to buy?
>>63340395
You'll have to adjust both. Its easier if you know the specs your guitar is set to
>>63340450
>You'll have to adjust both
Why would the intonation change? If I get the exact same string relief again, wouldn't that mean that my intonation and everything else should be as it was before? I'm just compensating for the difference in tension, right?
>>63335716
the dust cap aint crap
>>63338177
Sunn 6x12
>>63340483
Yes, you are compensating for the difference in tension, but that difference in tension will change the intonation a little bit. There's a lot of different variables that go into where exactly the correct tones are on the guitar, so you should always check.
It is also possible the intonation doesn't need to be changed, but its an easy adjustment and its off as much as it is on.
>>63338891
play in a jazz band in college now, probably know about the same theory as you. i'm a little outmatched in terms of chord theory, that shit is hard. know how to construct every extended jazz chord all across the neck. seriously. get comping down pat. improv too, but that's secondary
>>63340483
when different strings bend they change pitch differently. When you fret you stretch the strings a bit. Anyways setting intonation is the easiest part of setup since it's not subjective at all, and nobody will notice if you got it a bit off as long as you followed the right basic process.
>>63340586
>>63340687
Okay then, adjust the truss rod to the same string relief, re-check intonation (which should hopefully be the same or just slightly off), and then maybe change string height if any buzzing occurs with the lower tension strings? Or rather, swap the last 2 steps around, that should be it, right?
>>63340738
that's what I do
>>63340781
Okay, thanks. I just don't want to mess up my setup now that I finally have it just right.
>>63340448
Sonic Research strobe tuner is within .2% accuracy. TC Elec's and Boss' pedals are around 1%. Can program it for alt tunings and it accommodates up to 9 strings, I think.
>>63337571
Nope, I got the legit stuff. It works grand as an all-around interface for recording, and then you don't need to fuck around cracking the game.
Why did you get the Neewer?
>>63340596
Thanks man, will save this for future reference. I can find time to study guitar nearly 10 hours a week so I'll be sure to make use of it.
>>63332528
ive decided on possibly getting a VM jag in surf green for my first guitar god that color looks so awesome to me :/
wish i could find a CV tele in that color.
you guys said it was a lot better than the jag earlier itt but also some ppl said you should get a guitar you think looks cool cause it'll make you want to play. tele looks boring to me even though it's superior.
also im considering a yamaha thr10 as my bed room/practice amp.
thoughts on this lil set up?
any other recs or suggestion before i pull the trigger. my research which ill admit has been quite minimal has brought me to these options
im really new too all this im not even sure what to search for in an amp honestly
a Are Sunn Sentura amps any good? I might get one for $500
>>63340894
buddy of mine had one of these way back. i remember it being pretty fender-y. i liked it.
>>63340890
In all honesty if you know you'll love the Jag forever and ever then keep it and keep upgrading it. My surf green strat was once this Squier VM until I modded it up with a Mexican neck, and Mexican pickups and right now I'm thinking about putting in fender custom shop noiseless pickups or Seymour Duncan ssl-1 vintage stacks
>>63338006
personally I like .60 gauge nylon for strumming chords and higher gauge like .80 - 1.00 or jazz 3 I personally like the black ones because they have more grip than the reds are smooth
Best delay, qties?
Currently have a Flashback and want to step up.
Was thinking into a Strymon Timeline (not worship btw).
I'm into the dual delay, but generally my delay goes to thicken and give some beauty to lead sounds.
>>63340965
higher gauge or jazz 3 for more intricate lead parts*
>>63340939
FUCK SOMEONE JUST BOUGHT IT
Goddamn it, I heard really great things about Sunn and I love Fenderish sounding amps that aren't fender because they seem to have Better headroom. I feel like a dumbass now
>>63340890
>>63340950
Here's the strat now
>>63340738
yeah always do intonation last. Set your belief how you like it. what kind of bridge do you have?
>>63341011
aw that sucks, it had a shit ton of headroom too
>>63340890
>>63340974
If you don't mind the cost just get a Timeline. I've both a Timeline and a Big Sky and those two alone could be pedalboard enough. Takes a damn near month to figure out all either can do too. Just be forewarned that the Timeline needs around 300mA to work without any hiss and you can't daisy-chain it, so a clean pedalboard almost necessitates a power supply if you care about such things. Otherwise the supplied adapter works great, just personally became a pain in the ass having two pedals like that for me.
>>63341061
I like this
I think I'm done shilling now.
>>63341032
All fixed bridges, the normal saddles with the 2 screws for string height and one big screw for intonation. Sorry, I don't know if they have a name.
>>63341083
someone here said he was gonna buy one a few months ago but I don't think he went through with it. Bugs me cuz it looks cool and I'm not gonna buy a 2nd tele anytime soon, even for $100.
>>63341090
uh, wut? pic?
>>63341011
that is a lovely guitar you have. i will definitely invest in upgrades as i progress as well
>>63341044

oooo this is neat way out of my budget though :(
>>63341115
I wish I had money to buy other guitars
im broke and also into production so I have to carefully choose my purchases between different types of gear
The next thing I need to get is a bass guitar and a microphone then I can think about buying other gear like a different guitar or some kind of plugins (I make dance music also)
being a poorfag is gay and my city sucks ass for used gear
>>63341129
Those things.
>>63341187
if you decide to adjust height count turns and apply the same to every screw to keep the same radius.
>>63341046
Is it really worth the investment compared to the Flashback? I can get it for around $350 with luck
>>63341166
>buying plugins
>>63341212
$350 for a goddamn delay? you must be insane.
>>63341220
I don't pirate software and I haven't actually bought plugins I just use stock Cubase for now
I was wrong
>>63340950

Depends how much you like delay. You can do anything delay-related with a Timeline. Fucking anything. I often hear "inspiration machine" and that's not far off. If you want the most versatile, programmable delay out there with a functional looper then get it. If you're trying to dial in a real particular tone and know what kind of sound you want, I'd say you could find a cheaper delay that'll do just what you need. I got my Strymons because I didn't know what I wanted and had cash to burn and it's worked great. As far as delay goes, somewhere, in some setting, the Timeline has the exact delay you want if you fuck around with it enough. That's the appeal.
All that said, if the price is too much or you already got a real specific sound in mind a little more research will likely yield what you want cheaper. Timeline's the Swiss Army knife of delays, but more specifically the (literal, it's a real product and kind of funny) $500 Swiss Army knife with hundreds of tools.
