Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.
If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.
Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.
Have a nice day.
>>65127551
That's what you get for making a fucking waifufag edition
>>65127284
>hate speech
Like I said, there's no hope for Europe and thinking like this is why it's already over for you guys.
>>65127570
I'm not OP, just concerned since there is no active /gg/ thread
anyway I wanted to ask if theres a way to reduce white noise in guitar rig other than the noise reduction component because as soon as I put some distortion I get earrape
>>65127618
Are you using single coils?
>>65127618
There are a million and one ways, for example, get your guitar grounded (if it isn't already), make sure you pedal power supply is isolated, make sure your amplifier is grounded, if you're using single coils switch to humbuckers etc. There are dozens of contributing factors to guitar hum
Whats a good place to learn guitar, or book rather?
>>65127635
yes, but when I use my amp (which is horrible btw) there is no white noise even with distortion
>>65127640
I don't want to mess with my guitar because I'm poor and unexperienced, I'm looking for a way to fix it on my computer
>>65127697
Bring it to your local GC and tell them you want to get it grounded. It's not even that expensive
Generally speaking, how much to fix an amp?
>>65127666
That's probably because you're Satan?
Just kidding, can you clarify what you're dealing with?
>>65127730
damn I just noticed those trips
I'm getting painful white noise in guitar rig whenever I use distortion and the noise reduction thing isn't helping much
>>65127760
>clipping
>>65127509
Does she actually play?
Or does she just do the poser thing and just strum a few simple chords?
>>65127725
Kind of a stupid question since it entirely depends on the amp itself. If a SS amp is fried, it's gonna cost you the price of the circuit board plus labor.
Probs a stupid question but assuming i have an e.guitar, can i just plug it into a speaker and expect it to work? Why do i need a specific speaker sold at guitar shops for it? Do i require anything else inbetween the guitar and guitar speaker (amp?)
>>65128019
you can use your computer but it will probably sound like shit, amps are made for guitars
>>65127566
I still don't know how to fix pic related
>>65128019
>can i just plug it into a speaker and expect it to work
No, the signal that comes out of your guitar is nowhere "strong" enough to power a speaker. It has to go through an amplifier first.
>>65128071
why do i need to plug it into my computer? cant i just go into a fuzz box then into my monitors?
>>65128133
oh ok, so thats whats on a guitar speaker then?
>>65127618
>guitar rig
Get a real amp and stop using sim shit.
>>65128139
wouldn't that be fun huh?
>>65128184
A guitar speaker is pic related. I assume you mean a guitar combo amplifier which is an amp coupled to a cabinet. But yeah, that's why you can't plug your guitar into any speaker system that you see.

Would love some feedback on whether I've improved in the last four months.
>>65128611
yeah the video quality is much better on the new one, what camera did you use?
>>65128652
Canon 500D, I live in rural england though so I have to compress the video like fuck to even get it to upload
>>65128611
I would suggest turning your highs down quite a bit or rolling down the tone knob, that's basically icepick tone but clean.
The actual playing seems fine though I would work on trying to get a nicer sounding tone since that's really the only issue
>>65128744
Oh and if you're using your bridge pickup I'd probably stop that and switch to the neck since that could also be your issue.
>>65128744
>>65128757
Yeah I used to bridge, I have texas specials on the guitar, the neck can sound a bit too thick when I'm trying to emulate a telecaster.

WHATEVER YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD
>>65127865
I've seen her with an acoustic so I'm assuming just chords but no idea
How do I grew sixth finger on left hand? Any famous guitarists with six fingers?
If I dont have another amp is it better for me to get the Fender Mustang III or the Fender Mustang V? V is only a head amp, but is 50W higher and comes with a 4 switch box for switching between effects and such.
>>65129033
I have a 3, it's pretty good, >>65128611 I played into it for this (as the guy mentioned, my tone is too sharp). I think you can buy switchboards for the 3 too, haven't bothered with that though.
>>65129033
I'd get the Mustang III if I were you.
Especially if don't have a cabinet.
>>65128845
I bet she knows how to pull off and hammer on.
If you know what I mean.
>>65129033
I would avoid a modeling amp in general, just look on craigslist for something used, at $300 you could get something much better for only a little more money. I picked up my JC-120 for around that much money.
>>65129141
Im looking for $200, not $300. I could only go that high on the amp if I cheaped out on my guitar and only spent like $240.
>>65129118
I'd sure let her whammy my bar if you catch my drift

What are some alternatives to a double cut Les Paul, aesthetically? I search for a solidbody, humbucker guitar, with symmetric or nearly symmetric cuts, preferably less heavy-weight than the Les Paul.
Ibanez Artist is the only thing that comes to mind, but is there any more?

Oh, yeah at $200, it's a bit tricky. They're not going to be super loud but the Fender VibroChamp XD has a tube preamp I think or something like that and should sound alright. I think Orange also make tiny tube amps?

Why /gg/ thinks that handmade guitars imply higher quality than CNC cut guitars?
CNC machines are more accurate, consistent, and careful than human hands. Only difference is they cost less to use than to hire someone to do the job by hand.
Also why does /gg/ think a guitar is good if made by Americans, rather than Mexicans. The race has nothing to do with build quality. Has /gg/ just been so conditioned by the classic "made in US" marketing we see on so many guitar related products?
Why are guitarists so blind and stupid? Basically, is what i'm wondering.
>>65127618
what soundcard do you use?
>>65130204
If machines are so accurate then why do the same two Fender strats have so much difference, like some have obvious pocket gaps, and badly filed fret ends
>>65129183
I'd look for a good used Marshall practice amp, they tend to sound pretty decent even in that price range. Do yourself a favor and avoid buying new gear if you can, it's a rip off.
>>65129990
Orange makes hybrid, not full tube. They're quite decent, but lack controls and the 8" speaker is apparently shit.
>>65130204
Probably because there's more to guitars than just cutting the body right. My guitar's shit and I've never found the body inadequate.
>>65130204
>Why /gg/ thinks that handmade guitars imply higher quality than CNC cut guitars?
>CNC machines are more accurate, consistent, and careful than human hands. Only difference is they cost less to use than to hire someone to do the job by hand.
I agree taht CNC is more accurate but there's still a final finishing and setup phase that needs to be done by hand as far as I know and that's where the quality variances might ocurr. Some of the detailing is quite labor intensive and that's where costs are cut for the cheaper lines.
>Also why does /gg/ think a guitar is good if made by Americans, rather than Mexicans. The race has nothing to do with build quality. Has /gg/ just been so conditioned by the classic "made in US" marketing we see on so many guitar related products?
Not everyone here is a Fenderfag senpai.
In my case I absolutely love Music Mans and they are made in the US. Last time I watched a factory tour, there were some obvious latinos but again, it's San Luis Obispo.
I also own a jap Ibanez and it's great, no bias on the location.
>Why are guitarists so blind and stupid?
Are you a bitter bassfag or just looking for a (You)? :^)
>>65130306
Oh I know, but I'm referring solely to the cutting process there. My bad it wasn't clear.
But the rest of the process doesnt matter if the guitar is being built on by Mexicans or Americans, just how much they're being paid and what line they're working on and the standards they are told to follow for it.
>>65130333
I'm a guitarist too, but it's impossible to deny that the guitar market is perhaps one of the stupidest out there.
>>65130333
>Are you a bitter bassfag or just looking for a (You)? :^)

although I'm not a fan of active pickups either.
>>65130204
>Also why does /gg/ think a guitar is good if made by Americans
Pic related, this is what Gibson does with scratch and dent stuff at the factory. If something gets damaged they just throw it into the back of a semi trailer to be hauled off as garbage when it gets filled all the way up. Keep in mind that some of these guitars would be retailing for around $5000 at your local Guitar Center.
I'll say it again, electric guitars are just some cheap wood with some metal and plastic parts screwed on, nothing more.
>>65130681

Im pretty pissed off at the range for left handed guitars, especially colorways so i was considering getting a pit bull kit. anyone got experience with these? do they come with everything or do you need to make the circuitry seperate
Reminder that 99% of the playability of the guitar model of your choice is fretwork and setup.
>>65131868
So a 1 meter thick neck will always be playable ? Thanks handsome stranger !
>>65131692
If you're handy, it's probably about the same price to just buy an SX. Cheaper kit guitars usually need fretwork. Anyway the left handed stuff SX makes seems to be the same price or cheaper than the right handed stuff.
>>65131917

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwWw9g0EgHA
>>65132255
multiply through. for example, where it says 5(x16), 5*16=80 so you play fret 80.

You're missing quality control, weight, ergonomics, playabilty, realiability, global sound, versatility, and probably a few things more.
Sure, there are discrepencies between guitars in every price range, I keep hearing about Sandbergs being vastly superior to Fenders, but you can't just expect a 100$ guitar to be decent, that's not the price you'd have to pay for quality components even.

Lets get back on topic
>>65133058
You can't even get Sandbergs in the US on a by and large basis, they have about 6 or 8 distributors, if you can find one. They also use Korean parts, for all we know they are on par with top Schecter Diamond models with the necks and bodies made in Korea and assembled in Germany. I got a feeling if they were so great, they would be showing up in New York and LA, but that just isn't happening.
Why the fuck are orange amps so expensive?
>>65133791
Gud shit costs money.
>>65133791
because people are willing to pay that much for an amp that looks cool
>>65133791

>>65133831
m8 they aren't particularly sophisticated or powerful amps. "You get what you pay for" doesn't extend to subjective tones.
>>65133757

>>65133891
Their cabs are great, build quality equal to Mesa's.
>>65134052
You like it, we meme it.
>>65133996
Yeah, they give you a "fuller" sound. The rerason why you play light strings is because of bending. There is no reason to string bend on a fretless since you can slide. This is why slide players and fretless players use heavy string, even in standard tuning or close to standard tuning
>>65129390
Yamaha SBG series, you can still find these at good prices.
>>65132255
you play fret a on the a sting 16 times and so on and so forth
eight notes? idk
>>65127865
She's not a great guitarist, but she plays. She used to write her old songs and whatnot. But most country music uses the same basic chords, so.
What are some great bands or albums to jam along to?
>>65134224
slide players use heavy strings because you can apply more pressure without fretting out, which gives you less buzz and more sustain, not because of the tone.
I would have thought with fretless the reason was similarly to have more tension to reduce buzz.
>>65134410
>the reason was similarly to have more tension to reduce buzz.
Isn't that what the purpose of flatwound strings ?
>>65134386

>>65134021
How would you even fret the upper range on that thing?
>>65134438
Uh, sort of. Flatwound strings make a bit less noise when they buzz(maybe) but they still buzz. People use them because they have less noise when fretting and sliding and such. Just playing a single note isn't necessarily going to have less fret buzz. I'm not sure how they behave on fretless basses at all though.

How often do you guys change strings?
>>65134688
When they start losing intonation or start becoming a pain in the ass to tune which is ~2-4 months depending on how often I play.
>>65134688
Depends on how often I play it. I restring my main guitar every 2-3 months
>>65134688

Might just switch the tone control out and put a volume pot there, since I don't ever really use the tone control.
>>65135568
Switch the cap from series to parrallel, that makes the tone knob work the other way around, it'll remove bass instead of removing highs.
>>65135592
Fuck really? I'm not skilled with wiring tone controls in the first place so I had no idea it would work like that. Most I ever did was 2 volumes on my other guitar.

What do you even mean with last? breakage or tuning issues? tone?
I don't get any breakage at all, tuning issues don't arrive until at least 2 months in and I like the tone of strings that's been played a while more, they're warmer sounding.
>>65135640
It's not really hard, all you do is move one component and you're done. Here's a link for a similar mod that has both Tone and Bass contour.

Hey anon, same anon you replied to here. I drew out what I think it's saying from that one diagram HE sketched.

Yeah basically you move the cap from series to parrallel.
>>65136753

i wish i can just play the pick ups separately
and jeff waters flying v is also sick as fuck
>>65136982
Thank you based anon bro, time to try it out

Upright bass?

I know I'm late to this party but someone once told me they take the strings off their bass and boil them to clean them.
>>65135650
Ok, debbie
>>65138445
yes this is done
>>65138289
>>65138020
but what was the image fuck
>>65136851
Maybe it isn't the strings. Maybe it's the guy that set up your guitar, or the guy that put the strings on.

IT's a ZVEX Wooly Mammoth clone

it's not exactly just moving from series to parallel, in that you're also removing a connection to ground. Basically, the cap in the bass control lets frequencies above a certain point go through, while frequencies below a certain point have to go through the pot, losing volume as a result.
For the sake of comparison, the treble control (standard tone knob) allows frequencies above a certain point to pass through the capacitor with very little impedance directly to ground, rather than traveling through your whole high-impedance signal chain. Turning the knob adjusts exactly how much impedance there is to ground for those frequencies.
(deleted my earlier post because I drew the schematic wrong)

Sorry m8. I had to mow the lawn. Just fig'd I'd share a tip.
>>65138738
oh yeah, i considered buying it when the seller was doing no reserve auctions on ebay
but a fuzz like that is very specific, I'm sure there are more versatile fuzzes like muffs or that dod classic fuzz which is pretty great iirc
i also have a pretty versatile distortion pedal already so it's not my top priority atm
pic related are very cheap used! i think the behringer clones for this kind of basic boss pedal work pretty much the same but i'm reluctant to buy because

good tip
i know Geezer Butler used to do this during the early days of Sabbath
and that is where i first learned of this trick from an interview with Geezer

combo. Half stacks are unnecessary and a bad idea. Either they have a PA and you can use it or you're overpowering your drummer.
That being said they are fun.
>>65138744
Interestingly enough this didn't help me as much as I thought it did, but I still saved it for future reference.
So I tried the mods (different ones, in picture) and so far I got nothing that sounds like it affected anything (unless it was too subtle) as shown in the picture. Should the capacitor be on any of the actual connections on the volume control aside from the connection into the tone? Or am I making this way more complicated than it needs to be? Never been more confused (more with the outcome than with doing this) in my years of wiring stuff up.
>>65138289
Having trouble finding an OK reverb pedal for less than $75
apparently you can get a midiverb for less than $50, but i prefer a pedal
>>65138289
>>65138986
I never tried it tbqh. The guy that told me worked at a music shop. You know how those guys can be.
>Fun fact: zakk wylde used to work at that same guitar shop.
>>65139074
>>65139170
nice one
i'm pretty shit at using expression pedals while playing (or so i found when i tried one of those), but i may give it a go
>>65139195
if you only have two knobs, you can disregard the treble control entirely.
>>65127650

>>65127650
>>65139223 this if you're broke
if you can afford lessons go for it
>>65139195
I saw that diagram too, which is where I thought the second one was going >>65139208 if this is the same anon, then I think i was on the right path. Guess I'll keep at it until i find it. really odd, I think the wiring in this guitar is just...different?
>>65139074
should be the second one. Try boosting your amp's bass to emphasize the difference.
>>65139170
Love those. Tried the hendrix one, original, own the wylde one. Was a gift, asked for the dimebag one.. got that. Was not disappointed.
>>65139277
Will try, Even if it doesnt work or has no effect, I'll eventually end up rewiring anyways when I get the new pot, so it's not so bad.
Thanks anon, you've been a big help, sorry if it seemed stupid
>>65139285
is there a difference outside of the casing?
pic related probably best chorus for the money
>>65139285
Sold mine for pic related and I kind of regret doing that.
>>65138289
>>65138611
this also seems to be the best reverb but they're not so easy to find for ~$50
there definitely are some though

Any of you guys in Berlin and up to borrow a 4x12 or something? Honestly freaking out right now about the sound and such

You can rent that kind of stuff if you really need to.

Why is Satan not playing an SG?
>>65139999
fuckin checkd
>>65139373
I dunno. I never tried the dimebag one, i just read a bunch of reviews.. and the original was long ago. The wylde one is supposedly modeled after the hendrix one, with a wider range. The neat thing is you can tighten up the hinge to your liking. I read some zakk wylde interview before it was made, he said he uses the wah for a chorus boost. Puts a few nickels taped together under the heel so it stops at the spot he wants it to. I guess that's why the tighten thing. I don't even think he uses it, but when i used to get guitar world the section in the back where they had player's setups a lot of them used that wah.

nice dubs
I have 1-2k to spend on a guitar
I like this legator ninja 300, but what are my other options?
Well, at the suggestion of some anons here, I went and bought a Sheraton for $450 at my local GC.
I really am in love with the thing, but there's a lot of fret buzz on the upper frets. And the neck is straight as far as I can tell. Would a heavier string gauge stop this? I don't want to return it.
>>65141049
Looks lovely. However, I'd browse the Keisel catalogue more with that price range. Legators are whatever.
>>65141102
haha, just raise the bridge. Use the high and low e strings to judge which side to lift and raise it until the buzz stops.
>>65141102
By the way, you should try to find high/low frets now. Use a credit card. Line it up on its edge so it touches 3 frets and see if you can rock it. If it rocks on any of the frets return the guitar.
>>65141197
like this I assume?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaudytRZTdI
my actions really comfy right now though, oh well.
>>65141102
You're welcome, I was gunna trade for that same one and a Squier. 51'
>>65141102
check if the frets are level. That's your most likely problem.
What's your excuse today for not learning how to play fast?
>"i don't like mindless shred"
Jazz players have been playing fast runs for decades
>"i don't have a skinny neck"
Again, jazz plays play pretty fast for decades on their huge ass box.
>>65141453
I'm lazy.
>>65140530
She's not playing. It's all pre-recorded like the super bowl. I mean, I'm sure she can play, but isn't there.
>>65141327
>>65141402
Yeah there is absolutely no rocking when I line up my card. Thanks for the tip, saves me a trip to the luthier.
>>65141347
The tone really is incredible on this thing and so is the neck. Can't recommend it enough.
>>65141330
A low bridge is generally comfy. Good action that doesn't buzz is harder to achieve. You'll probably have to file the nut slots as well, most new guitars need that.
>>65141330
Like that, but you should put a capo on the 1st fret if you're measuring.
>>65132019
Got my 2016 Traditional husk from Stratosphere and this is no 2nd. It was a regular 2016 bought wholesale and parted out. Serial confirms.
How much should I pay for a used(good condition) Fender Deluxe Reverb Amplifier?
>>65141507
If you just learned how to adjust action you are not qualified to recommend your guitar to anyone. By the way, when using the credit card use it on both the bass and treble side of the fretboard. Note that this doesn't mean you have great frets, just ones good enough you shouldn't return it.
>>65141453
I don't want to play fast
