Damn, really amazing, man. Congrats, I'm jealous.
Do you only go specifically after strats/teles or did they just happen?
>>63816389
Spare slot, never know if youll get another guitar!
>>63816472
>Ikea chair tho
Could be a fake, but that's an Eames Lounge Chair, you ignorant slut.
A real one is $5k.
>>63816487
Strats and Teles are the only guitar I like, I may get a Jazzmaster to round out the collection though, I'm kinda missing one of those, Trouble is they all have the skinny vintage frets and 7.25 inch radius on the fingerboard and I hate bending strings on that setup. The only US one with a flatter board and jumbo frets is a Custom Shop that costs stupid money. And it;s sunburst, it just isn't the guitar I'd want for that much cash.
>>63816389
HEY MOTHER FUCKER LONG TIME NO SEE
Dont even think about getting another guitar or bass until you get some proper amplification going on.
That said, It shouldn't be too hard to build a rack. I'd make it comfortably fit 5, and then an additional 1 at each end. But god damn, I couldn't imagine having 7 4 guitars and 3 basses.... I'd much rather a wider array of amps and cabinet combinations. Or have the $$$$ go towards effects pedals.
>>63816521

somene who really really enjoys sitting down
However it must be nice having guitars properly setup for particular tunings.
I pretty much bounce around between standard, drop d, and eeevery once in awhile, C# standard. I love chugging old school doom stuff. I don't like drop C or anything lower.
>>63816389
wait, he took a pic of the guitars AND the chair
that was a deliberate decision to showcase his Ikea chair on /gg/

Anyone else here too good? I feel like I need to tone it down a little, maybe stop practicing and smash my hand with a hammer. Here's a sample of my playing
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0MIUtO40f6h
sup /gg/
I've got an affinity telecaster I bought a couple weeks ago for 80 kangaroo dollars and Im thinking of changing the pickups for something bretty gud.
There's a guy near my place selling a set of '58 vintage telecaster pups for 100.
How's my plan on a scale of 1 to batshit retarded
Been trying to learn guitar from William Levitt's Modern Method for Guitar for about 6 months. How do I know if I am making good progress? I feel like I am moving at a glacial pace.
>>63816809
Upgrading a cheap guitar is a waste of money. Save your cash and get a better guitat like a Classic Vibe Tele.
and protip: they're not vintage 58 pickups if they're $100
>>63816796
I know that feel. I can shred 5 million notes per second, guitar is so boring since nothing is a challenge now
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0rn3wtEVJsG
>>63816809
Depends. How's the neck and fretboard? ANy weird buzzes or irregularities? My Squier P bass is a damn fine machine worthy of swapping some $120 pickups into. My Squier Strat has a really twangy high E and B string. The G string bridge post rattles. The tuning posts rattle and don't keep tune (expected of)
A hard tail tele might be a different story. Does the thing stay in tune? Does it play GREAT throughout the fret range you use?
>>63816813
just googled a few pages from that book, looks dry and dull and uninteresting, if I'd had to start off learning from that then I'd have given up
>>63816890
Eh, I like dull because I am a boring person.
On loan from a friend, been messing around with this big mound of tube goodness, needless to say its probably the best sounding tube bass amp ever made IMHO
>>63817015
>>63817015
I like how tube guitar amps sound, but for bass, I don't like it.
>>63816695
I was taking a pic of the amps along with the guitars
>>63816598
yeah man, just planning ahead though, sorta wana a semi hollow down the line
>>63816521

>MAB
>not just literal turkeys gobbling
>>63817041
Have you tried it with a guitar? If so, how's it sound?
>>63817041
I would love to own a tube amp, but my sansamp and firebass produce such good tones, I'm afraid it would be a waste. I much prefer to drop unnecessarily large amounts on custom cabinets instead.
>Tuning: GF#CFAC# (standard lowered a full step down, with the first and fifth
strings lowered an extra half-step)
the fuck kind of tuning is this
>>63816335
>awesome used basses on my local Craigslist
>don't need any of them
Whelp, I really can't justify a 6-string, a fretless or a pure P-bass....
>>63817101
Just bought the s7420qm last week. Cleaned it up and tossed new strings on. Been tweaking and adjusting it. Need some new pickups. Probably avoid the d-sonic or crunchlab or whatever they renamed it. Thinking maybe a PAF or blaze set.
Switched to the dunlop heavy core .10 sets recently too. Find they work great on the ax7521, its actually a short scale. I was able to get the action really low despite the extra tension. The d'addario 10s felt bendy even with higher action.
Forgot pic.
>>63816389
Not a fan of racks. Personally I just hang my guitars around the house and whenever I buy one I just find another spot to drill.
Not sure I'd go further than the current 6, though.
>>63816709
>stop having different preferences and priorities than mine, it triggers me
/gg/ Rec me a decent 8 string that doesn't cost an arm and my nuts.
>>63817130
I can agree with that, I'd kill for for something like a Tyrant Cabinet in a 1215 configuration
>>63817273
eh, fair enough, I just dont like hanging them personally, plus building a nice rack seems like a cool project
Squier tele masterrace coming through!

>>63817356
look at Schecter or Agile
>>63817356
seconding agile
>>63816855
I meant to say pure vintage 58 tele pickups, not actual tele pickups from 1958
>>63817504
why do you have that midi pickup on the eight string? Couldn't you just put it through that synth box and be able to use all the strings instead of only six?
>parents surprised me by sending me an ESP F-155DX
>get to go shopping for stands, cases, extra strings, etc
Son of a bitch, happy birthday to me.
>>63816796
Fucking hell that's awesome man. Simply stunning. I can hear the vibrancy of the cave you recorded in, it must have been tough being a hermit to dedicated yourself to the craft of guitar playing.
Max respects.
>>63817356
Agile. I love my T7, they have some pretty good quality. Im tempted to buy an acoustic 7 string from them.
Ibanez has the RG8 for around $400 and you may find one locally you can play if you are lucky. I had one but sold it. Wasnt bad, but wasnt for me, like most Ibby, swap some pups and tweak the setup to your taste and they are good to go.
Though an Agile is more good to go with a setup anyway, pickups are usually the cephus and they arent as bad as a stock ibby, and they use emgs and blackouts alot.
>>63817130
Tubes for bass are a bit unnecessary. A good tube drive pedal can get you that warmth if you need it.
>>63817418
Why squier?
It's just the tele master race you dolt
What case is that BTW? Looking at the fender Deluxe strat/tele case but I don't like how slanted it fits.
>>63816887
>>63816887
I kinda like the 9.5" radius. Yes it stays in tune, no fret buzz and no problems with the neck. Haven't heard any bridge rattling so far. Had my friend set it up for me.
Bass is my main instrument and I just use the guitar when noodling around with chords and scales when watching stuff on my laptop.
Love my cheap ass tele. I don't need to use stands or cases, I just put them on the floor when finished playing no worries.
Pic related is my baby. I have to keep this lil nigga on a hard case filled with silica bags when not in use because weather here in Melbourne differs everyday.
What songs do you play, stepfam?
Anyone got a PRS S2 satin? Can you comment on the neck? How does it feel like, is it fender-ish? Is it super smooth like a Ibanez?
>>63817273
That semi-hollow Ibanez is so fucking lewd. How does it play and when did you get it?
>>63817759
yeah i know but a lot of anons like the squier and other anons hate it so it's always good bant.
but anyway, the case is actually the cheaper tweed one... musician's gear maybe? MF and GC don't seem to carry it anymore but i found my email for the order
that said, i think it's a spittin' image knockoff of the fender case
>>63817698
no, I can use the regular PU's for amp modeling, but all the COSM and synths require the hex PU...
>>63817755
I wouldn't call it unnecessary, they add a color an warmth to the sound that you cant quite get with a solid state or good preamp pedal. The power section can add a lot to the sound. Not to day that I haven't played great solid state amps, but for me tube amps have a certain edge to them that can't quite be replicated by sheer imitations. Besides the first ever bass amps were all tube anyways, especially amps like the B15 and SVT by Ampeg, those amps are staples in the bass world.
>>63816887
>The G string bridge post rattles. The tuning posts rattle and don't keep tune (expected of)
1. Bridge, check the screws on the saddle. Makes sure they have a little lift and are evenly positioned.
2. Tuners, tighten the nut down. The nut on the top side, under the strings. Maybe tighen the tuning head if they have a bit of play when turning.
If that doesnt fix the tuners, it probably needs some teflon tape or snips of tootjpicks to give it a fill in grip.
>>63817714
>ESP
>LTD
Sounds like you need to go shopping for a better bass too.
how hard is it to paint a guitar so I can buy a good one instead of a pretty one
>>63817859
That is all true. Same for guitar. I just find for bass, solid state has a better clarity, and a decent pedal can give it shape and warmth.
>>63817794
Plays pretty well but I pretty much had to replace all the hardware and electronics. It currently has SD Seth Lovers, Gotoh Delta locking tuners, a Gofoth bridge and new knobs. Also buffed the previously matte top and back.
It's a cheapo guitar (I think it sold for $400 back then, the new upgraded version is $500) but with the upgrades and setup it's excellent. Frets are a bit too small and short for my preference but that's all.
I was actually trying to sell it because I got the LP which is also a dual humbucker guitar with PAFs and I mostly play it, but since I couldn't find a buyer (it's hard as shit to sell guitar with upgrades without losing a ton of money) it's back on the wall again. It's probably my least played guitar but I still love how it looks.
>>63817914
I appreciate your opinion, to each their own
>>63817891
well anon if you think you can find a sweetheart gf who's ugly as fish shit and then just learn put makeup on her everyday be my guest.
i however, would rather opt for a more compromised packaged.
>>63817934
*Gotoh, what the fuck is Gofoth?
>>63817891
Paint is hard tbqh famicom.
Stripping the paint is the real bitch.
You can swirl a guitar with a bucket and paint, you can spray it with an airbrush, etc etc
I think a tongue oil finish, or colored stains look the nicest.

>tfw the only guitar related stuff my parents bought me back in high school were a bag of picks and straps

>>63817940
Yeah buddy, its all about what is right for you, but dont forget a band setting can change a ton of dynamics. Some amps/rigs work better for different jobs.
>>63818011
it's ok. i wouldn't take it on the road but for storage and local shit it's a great value
>>63817986

Thanks, dad.
>>63818092
be careful not to scratch it!
>>63818124
Eh, I sold it after a couple months and bought something better.
We're not that emotional in my family.
>>63818145
niccce, good call imo
>>63818021
This is also very true
>>63817891
Painting isn't hard at all. Stripping the old paint off is.
That being said, why refinish a good guitar? Playing an ugly or out of place guitar gives you and your performance personality. I knew a guy who played a modded Hello Kitty strat because he liked the weight and feel - it's all about you own it.
Don't listen to the other guy saying you should buy a decent looking, decent playing guitar. People who would compromise a guitar's quality and sound for appearance probably have never needed a good guitar.
I'm happy my guitar has a relatively high resale value even though I would never sell it.
Maybe it's just so I can prove to my parents I made a good purchase.
>>63817273
I don't come on /gg/ very often anymore, but were you on a hiatus recently? Last time I was here SGcuck was still around
Also, is Victor sponsored by Walrus Audio or something?
>>63817891
Thinking of doing it to, but it's very expensive (400++) to get someone to do it.
>>63816389
jesus fuck man are you rich? what do you do for a living?
>>63819225
where did sgcuck go? i miss him
>>63816709
Yeah dude that guy can't sit for shit. I've seen him, he's so bad at it
>>63817891
It's pretty easy desu. You DONT need to strip the finish unless you plan on staining the body or doing a transparent finish.
All you have to do is scuff the existing paint to a matte finish so you can use it as your primer coat. I've done a couple of guitars like this for friends and myself and I haven't had any issues.
Got a new video done finally. Uploading it tomorrow.
Tried a different recording technique and I'm pretty happy with the results.

>>63819473
basically im on a list for a company that provides web services and when a client needs their copy written, they get in touch and I have a chat about what the copy is about and any key things they want highlighted and then do about 2 hours research into the company and the field and then write, I charge about 25 and hour for it NZD, so like 18 and hour US, and I just go until I've finished a page, get it checked then go on to the next one, repeating the process.

Whats the ideal amount of wattage for a bass amp and a guitar amp for practice with a band in a studio size room?
I've gotten away with 45 and 15 Watts respectively without having to dial in either at max. Why does everyone elses post make it sound like that isn't the norm?
>>63819739
Looks nice but sounds boring as fuck.
>>63819833

Yo, so /gg/
for my guitar rack I'm kinda stuck on where I wanna go with the style
I have two designs sketched out and shit
one is a rustic looking thing with weathered and stained oak framing, and then leather wrapping for the neck rest and body rails, very barebones but kinda nice in it's own right
the other desigen is one that has panelled ends that go up higher and wider than the guitars will sit, thats upholstered with diamond stitched brown vinyl on the inside including a back plate and floor plate, and a rolldown cover with snap buttons on it for the edges and bottom lip.
obviously the second is a lot more work, but I think will look better down the line
wat do

Thoughts /mu/? Looks like a decent guitar for the money (especially given the chance that it might be from Korea or Japan rather than China) but I've been burned buying "vintage" gear before.

Are the Dean archtops any good?
I'm that guy who wants an ES175 and is autistic about the natural finish on the non-Gibson models. The Dean Palomino is exactly what I want and even has three pickups (I'd rather humbuckers, but whatever) and a natural finish I like, but I've heard Dean aren't very good.
I just recently started playing bass on pic related
So far I looked and some tabs and tried played along which worked pretty well
any tips on what to learn going forward?

I'm an amateur guitarist, I just fool around with a cheap used electric guitar + amp I bought some time ago.
There are some guitar songs I've listened to where its obvious to me that there are two separate guitar players performing the song. One guy plays a very distinct sound and then the other guy plays a different sounding guitar at his part. The guitars are set to two very different configurations (different amps/distortion pedals)
I've had this fantasy in my head while listening to the songs of getting so good that I learn to play BOTH of their parts back-to-back.
Is this what a twin-necked guitar is for? Hypothetically, if I did learn how to play their parts, is there a twin necked guitar I could buy that could be tuned and have equipment entirely independent to one another so that I could truly play the different sounding guitar parts using this one guitar?
I guarantee you that this is something I will achieve within my lifetime.

no, that's why /gg/ is the best thread on 4chan
and in response to the question, I can't think of a 6/12 twin neck that has separate outputs. You coud easily wire a stereo jack on the guitar and use a Y-cable though.
>>63822882
Are you fucking serious? You're asking if you can play two seperate guitar parts on two necks at the same time and you then say it's possible. You then completely misunderstand the point of a double necked guitar, which is painfully obvious.
>>63822912
he said he wants to play the two parts back to back, I assume that means play one part then play the other

What's the name of the switch hardware I'd use to make a guitar go from one amp to another?
>>63822972
There's no reason to use a twin-neck for that. Just use a digital preamp or an A/B switch with two amplifiers.
>>63822972
The double necked guitar only exists so you can go to a 6 string neck to a 12 string without changing guitar. Most people don't even use 12 strings anymore so I don't know why you'd want one. Just put on some different pedals if you want to sound different.
Reminder that If you play you shit, it's new. I think there is no need to invent a new genre, or try playing a bass with you penis while eating meat with a baseballbat, to be a good musician.
>>63822972
>It's something that needs to be done
yes, there must be thousands of guitarists wanting to carry an extra backline amp and a heavy twin neck to gigs just so they can play a song then play the same song again with a different sound

>>63823049

Pretty sure he meant playing rhythm and lead simultaneously though. We've got fucking Goro over here.
>>63822972
Get a Roland GP-10 and a guitar with a hex pickup. Change patch and it simulates anyu different tuning with individual string transpose up to 2 octaves, changes your guitar and amp model and effects. Weighs a fraction of a twin neck, doesn't look fucking stupid and no one shouts DO STAIRWAY at you

Is A/B switch and two amplifiers not specific enough for you? That's literally exactly the answer.
Hell you could just use pedals to have the two different sounds. You're over complicating something really simple.

>u guys r mean pls stap hurting my feelings
Playing two guitar parts at one time is literally impossible because you have two arms and not four. The only way you can get close is using ERGs, alternative tunings or a chapman stick and tapping two different parts at one time, which basically requires a lot of accuracy, and pinpoint muting and fretting technique.

I've owned probably 30+ dirtboxes, and this pedal as remained on my board for the last 5 years without waiver. I wonder why more people don't know about it? When full on it's EVH, when rolled off it's Dinosaur JR.
>>63825551
Math is not your strong suit is it.
>>63825652
Not usual for me to say that but it sounds underwhelming at full distortion, more like an OD+slight amp gain than a full on distortion. Which is not bad after all, but for $200 I'd rather get the MXR 5150.
Speaking of distortion, what are some more unusual distortions beside the HM-2 ? I feel like they pretty much all sound the same.
>>63825270
>you need 24 frets to shred
Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteem and Nick Johnston says hi.
>>63825841
I run an EQ in front of it which gives it a big push. The pedal does need a bit of amp help to get the full effect, but so do a LOT of distortions.
Unusual distortions? The Distortron or Dirty Robot come to mind.

>>63826034

Doesn't change the fact you can play surfing with the alien on a 22 fret guitar.
Same for some Guthrie Govan tracks.
>>63826082
Many shredders who use 22 frets usually just play around the lower parts of the fretboard.. Not sure if that made sense.
Or you could just drop D and have more range that way, since you can hit the high D on the E's 22 fret.
>>63826116
22 frets, standard tuning, and mostly played on the top of the neck.

Can someone rec a nice cheap amp?
I'm buying a guitar soon to be able to produce more nuanced ambient music, but since i played a lot in high school i still want to fuck around when i'm not on my computer and therefore need some kind of amp.
The cheaper the better, i just don't know where the gap to complete shit is located.
Also i don't think i need more than 15 watt. It's just amplifying for a bedroom.

>>63826930
You can't make a bad guitar good by sticking good pickups in it.And when you come to sell it, your "improvements" are another player's idiot changes that he or she doesn't want. So you lose money on the upgrades as well as the guitar.
Forget upgrades, put the money towards a new guitar.

Is it because muh shoegaze?

i dont want to sell it though.
what makes VM squiers a bad guitar?
>>63827958
Sorta, and since a lot of /gg/ secretly crave one it harshes their mellow.
>>63827977
Nothing really, plus I doubt you can get much from it.
If you really like how it plays then there's nothing wrong on improving electronics, you can always take those pickups to a better guitar later.
>>63827958
yes, because mu is mostly indie twinks who wanna buy a jazzmaster/jaguar
>>63827958
It's not as much about the fact it is a JM but more the people that are associated with it.
It's a bit the same with teles, although these guys flip their shit at the mention of humbuckers, six saddle bridges or contours.

I've seen more strandbergs out of a metal context than in them. Hell the only time I saw a Skervesen was in a really shitty, bland pseudo-prog band. I had more fun looking at the wood pattern than listening to it.

There's also Beyond Creation, in which each guitarist has one but they seem to stick more to their luthier made super strats.

I have a question about humbucker tone. I noticed that jazz basses with equally wound pickups have a more noticeable warmth and clarity loss when both pickups are on than balanced pickups. If you have a set of balanced pickups, foes lowering the bridge volume increase the humbucking effect? Can anyone with a jazz bass confirm this?
>>63827977
Cheap hardware, weak pickups and the trem block is made of zinc instead of steel
if you're not going to sell it then a really good cheap upgrade would be a better trem, the Wilkinson ones are incredible comfortable in use and ridiculously cheap
>>63828857
They've been straying off the metal path since their first release, their demo right after Focus is pure jazz fusion, and their whole gimmick is now five minutes of bland uninteresting robot vocals with some eventual riffs, saying they're a completely metal band is wrong.
>>63828944
Yes, turning down one pickup in a hum-cancelling pair does slightly increase the hum. I've got the Squier CV Jazz bass and it's barely noticeable.
>>63828839
>What people are doing in their bedrooms is not what people are doing on recordings or on stage.
True, look at this amazing motherfucker.

>>63828932
same here. /mu/ is for music listeners more than artists unfortunately, just like /ck/ is for people who eat instead of people who cook. Goddamn people need to stick to the funposting boards for that shit. There needs to be a worksafe /b/ containment board for all these newfags. Call it the kiddie corner or something.
>>63828963
and better tuners, something like Sperzel locking tuners with the graduated string posts if you want to throw that much money at a cheap guitar
>>63817934
WHErE CAN I BUY THIS GUITAR
>>63829012
There already are numerous containment boards.
/s4s/
/wsg/
/b/
to name a few.
I think the influx of new people grew too much. A few years back if a newfag spouted bullshit he would be quickly reminded of his stupidity and told to 'lurk moar before posting'.
>>63828987
Sorry, I meant in a balanced (not equal resistance, balanced volume) bass. I'm wondering if lowering the bridge volume would INCREASE the hum cancelling effect. Honestly my question is more about the tone than the hum. I actually have noiseless pickups, but the tonal effect of hum cancelling still applies when both pickups are on. Does your bass have pickups with equal output, or a balanced set?
>>63828010
>tfw no indie twink bf
>>63829089

In all seriousness, I agree with you.
It's kinda funny and aggravating hearing my normie friends say that 4chan is part of the dark deep web and that it's dangerous and you must be careful browsing it.

>>63820430
Just start with a kit, then do a nice job on the finish and replace the electronics (pickups are guaranteed to be shit and the plastic switch will fail on you eventually, so might as well throw both out and replace them along with some different pots if they're not rated to what your components work best with).
Pick related is my Carvin Bolt that I made from their kit. Switched out the pickups with some Lace Sensor Hot Golds, which sound most excellent. Plastic pickup switch inevitably failed on me, so I switched it with a CRL 5-way switch (7-sound mod) and 250k pots to replace the stock 125k ones.
I don't know if I'd go with Carvin for a kit again since they fucked up my tuners three times and the input jack cavity needed to be rerouted, but the wood itself was good quality. If I end up doing a bass next time, I'm gonna try out Warmoth, which I've heard very good things about.
>>63829240
honestly the entire reputation 4chan has is /b/'s. But the newfags don't know that so they come here for trolling and memes instead of going directly to /b/. 4chan as a whole was never about funposting, it was just a discussion board with funposting present. Now, people come here, even to /gg/, exclusively to make the next hot meme.
