I couldn't imagine doing that, sounds terrible
>>65404099
I had it for years but never really had any issues, so I dunno
>>65404157
Not really, it works with some stuff pretty well
i want to recreate the classic vintage tone of those 70's amp heads
what is a good and cheaper alternative to an ampeg's SVT?
tube or solid state, it don't matter.
>>65404420
Ampeg PF800 gets close to that sound, if you want something more old school, avoid the PF500 though. Also the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 does it pretty well
>>65404365
Do Squiers and MIM fenders have the same pickups? Is there any sense in swapping the pickups to slightly upgrade my squier?
>>65403937
But it only happens on low E string. Its not fret-specfic. But maybe you're right what do I know. If anyone else wants to give their opinion : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4ehv340ohdah8cz/AADau1GCxR4ge3xVFxXHcdDla?dl=0
>>65404453
They usually have different pickups but depending on the Squier model it could not be an upgrade, as the high end Squier stuff has been known to have better pickups than the MIM Fenders. What would be the best way to upgrade would to go past MIM Fender stuff to either US Fender Pickups or aftermarket companies like Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio
anyone britfags had any issues with Gear4music? I've had multiple orders fucked up by them in the past and I've just about had enough after they sent me the wrong item entirely (a Behringer compressor pedal instead of my 2i2 interface)
>>65404420
every behringer and bugera amp is based off the ampeg sound. Some of them are actually good amps, too.
That anon last thread that posted Rory Hoffman got me on a gypsy jazz kick. I tried to record my quick take on a gypsy-vibe improv:
https://clyp.it/0fto0e5o
I think I did alright with the rhythms, minus a few tempo stumbles. Those leads are hard as fuck on nylon strings though. Gotta start practicing my gypsy shred more often, it's fun as hell to fuck around with
https://youtu.be/TdGVPEahsD4
This is hilarious
>>65404465
a few things are possible here.
1. your action on your low E string is set too low
2. your nut slot is poorly cut, so your guitar is buzzing at the nut
3. your guitar is setup with the truss rod adjusted wrong, but only a little bit so that your thickest string is the only one having a problem
4. your guitar's neck is twisted, so that the fingerboard is higher toward the low E and lower toward the high e
5. your frets are out of level only along your low E
in an ideal setup, your fingerboard is dead flat (yes, really: relief causes more problems than it solves) and your frets are perfectly level, with your action set to the height you like to play.
is rocksmith any decent for actual learning purposes?
>>65404731
It's good at physically getting you to pick up your guitar, but it isn't very good at teaching basics of rhythm, technique, scales, or theory in general. If you focus on getting good at the game, you'll probably forget the actual songs when you put it down.
It's probably a good tool for getting started, because it maintains an incentive to play something even if you're not actually getting very good, but it keeps you invested long enough that you get past the point where most folks just give up. Then, you should probably practice tabs and scales to a metronome or find a teacher.
>>65404428
at 800 watts… damn that is a lot of headroom that i can dig. it is also a lot cheaper than an svt and lighter.
yeah i heard about the tone hammer. actually thinking of getting that ampeg scr di box too
>>65404628
thank you for that, i'll look into to it.
>>65404698
Fuck, sorry I better take it to the store? I wish life was simpler
>>65404698
A flat setup is nit ideal at all. You will have to play much more softly on the lower frets to avoid buzz.
There's a wide variety of acceptable setups when it comes to electric guitar, and guitar in general. Some have more buzz, some have less buzz. None have no buzz. But a setup with a flat fretboard is not an ideal setup.
>>65404665
Made my day, cheers for posting.
>>65404895
No, just raise your low E string. You should check some videos online about setup. It's easy and it's a skill that you will be able to use over and over. Just go slow.
>>65404895
First and foremost, listen to where along the string it's buzzing from. That'll give you a lot more information as far as what to check.
You can check if your frets are level with a credit card. You go fret to fret, laying it across three at a time parallel to the strings, trying to rock it back and forth. If the card rocks, you know that you're on a high fret. If there's a gap between the card and the middle fret, you know that one is low.
You can check if your neck is twisted by sighting down it, but it takes a keen eye if you're not used to looking for it. Try lining it up next to something straight; that should help it pop if something's up.
The simplest short-term fix is to raise your low E string at the bridge until it doesn't buzz when you play normally.
>>65404917
I apologize for speaking in absolutes. I understand that guitar setup is primarily a matter of taste, but I've found through research and firsthand comparisons that a dead-flat fretboard is the least noisy way for a fretboard to be, given that frets are well-leveled. Here are a couple of sources that back up my claim (and yes, there are sources which back up the contrary position):

I left my Epi LP Special II out in my bedroom for 5 years and only cleaned it 2 or 3 times (just cleaning the surface dust, not anything internal)
>>65405795
it's your amp, not your guitar.
>>65405862
Cube 15x, same scenario.
>>65404731
I'd say it's one of the best starting points. It obviously won't teach you theory, but theory isn't a necessity in the first place. You'll learn what sounds good and what doesn't just from playing a lot of songs. The session mode can also be a ton of fun if you don't have anyone to actually jam with. Make sure you're actually mastering songs though. Don't just learn how to play 50 songs at half speed, 80% difficulty with 80% accuracy or something. Find a few songs you love enough not to get sick of, use the dynamic difficulty on them until it gets too hard, then max the difficulty and slow them down as much as you need to in order to play almost perfectly. Increase the speed by 1-5% each time you play it, and repeat or drop back down whenever you start making too many mistakes. Keep going until master mode kicks in and you're able to play without seeing the notes. Once you reach that point, make sure you can play them without using the game at all, then move on.
I'd advise spending time just listening to simple music and trying to figure out what's being played too. Training your ear is just as important as training your actual guitar skills.

what does /gg/ do for a living?
>>65407267
Still in uni, have a part time job at McDonald's.
>>65404420
I would get something close, think ampeg solid state, and then add a tech 21 vt bass pedal. It gets you into that gooey vintage ampeg zone without a ton of money.
>>65404453
The higher end squires have pickups that I would say at least rival the MIM stuff. At least as far as basses go, I'd pick a vintage modified quite over Mexican stuff anyday.
>>65407267
In uni and just quit my part time job I had for 3 years
>>65407267
In uni, doing web search evaluation part-time.

It's an absolute behemoth of a store also.
Not a chain or anything, there's only one.
Sorry for blog posting, but /gg/ is dead in the morning anyways and I have to wait 2 hours.
Also tosin abasi or whatever is playing here in a few hours if /gg/ is interested. I've never actually listened to him before or like his kinda music but I've seen him mentioned a few times before.
Similarly, Steve vai was here last year for the same event.
>>65407703
Forgot pic
Not familiar with any of these really except for having heard Yukon Blonde before.
Does anyone want some pics inside the Gibson custom truck?
I don't plan on going in but if anyone's interested Ill take some pics
>>65407847
take some if you can
>>65406632
i like the skatecaster
>>65407614
what is this?
>>65407847
YES PLEASE
>>65408026
Big festival sorta thing at my local music store. Somehow they got the Gibson custom truck from Tennessee to Ontario, Canada.
>>65407880
Gotcha sempais. Won't be opening for a while though.
Opinions on 90s Duo-Sonics?
What about that Starstream?
it is good? should i buy one?
>>65408046
sounds cool anon, ill come back in an hour or so, hopefully /gg/ picks up by then
>>65407847
Pls anon
I'll love you.
>>65407724
It would be neat to see.
That description is what's wrong about him, they really sell him as something groundbreaking when it was already done before.
>>65408229
literally a cheaper version of a mustang, which is the cheap model fender used to make, the only reason people want to buy them is because theyre vintage fender and quirky, im sure some play well and are lovely guitars since its fender, but if i were you get something more versatile

Aren't they good? I'd guess at least better than the solid body ones.
>>65408910
>I'm starting to think might be impossible
it is, unless someone's selling gear and doesn't understand its value, which happens once in blue moon
>>65409203
Beginner guitar at best with a 22.5 inch scale. Extremely floppy strings. Nice to have a vintage one in a collection but not as a main instrument.
>>65407662
a couple friends of mine took lessons there, i've never been in though. i only really go to L&M and occasionally Steves. what's their selection like?
>>65409263

Coming home with a new toy.
Hope you guys like unboxing pics, because that's what you're getting.
But first, the Gibson custom trailer for those that asked
Excuse sideways images
Boy, what a huge disappointment. There was maybe like 25 guitars in there. Not even any accompanying info on them.
It really was nothing. I just went in there for like 1 minute to grab these pics.
And that's it. There was maybe 2 or 3 guitars that arent in any of these pics, but they didnt seem like anything special.
Also grabbed a guitar stand and a snark tuner for 8 bucks.
This is my first tube amp, any tips on maintenance and use?
Is it okay to plug it into a standard Canadian power outlet?
And how do I go about using the power and standby switches. Just wanna be sure.
>>65410746
ayy, looking forward to this [flip] Fender [/flip] unboxing.
>>65410773
How's that rainbow finish called?
>>65410901
As am I.
And no idea about the finish, I was out of there before I could ask.
Its custom though so who knows
>>65409375
>not getting a wound g
Almost too excited to open the amp.
And the snark tuner is incredibly convenient.
>>65411059
Still sounds like shit.
>>65411088
Nah, it actually sounds p dope ahaha
Oh wait I don't never had a guitar that short nvm
>>65411088
What are you basing this on?
Surprise, surprise
Cover and foot switch included
Should i buy a Hot Rod Deluxe?
I found a great deal on one and i'm thinking of buying it.
While searching around, though, i see so many different opinions on the thing it's hard to make a decision.
Is it too loud for home use? I play mostly clean and bluesy rock.
Fuck I'm too excited to plug it in.
Anyone know how long to let the amp warm up before switching up the standby?
>>65410885
Read the manual bro, it usually tells you everything you need to know about care and maintenance.
>>65411533
Just wondering how people do it here.
Manual doesn't say much.
>>65411462
Those Amps are too loud. Seriously, they go from being unusably quite to LOUD AS FUCK! by moving the volume control half a millimeter.
>>65411462
I usually leave mine for a minute. The manual says that it should be at least 30 secs
>>65409643
Fuck Les, Kill Mustang, Marry that 12-string hiding back there
>>65409643
Hey, dont forget to post this pic in every thread
>>65411558
Yeah, I can confirm that.
I can still get some comfortable bedroom volumes though
>>65411590
Thanks, I did just that

He has a vintage 3 pickup gibson SG that I can't wait to fucking wail on.
>>65411868
Be really slow and work your way up. Don't go faster if you accuracy is suffering or you'll end up being sloppy.
>>65411868
Start out as slow as you need to be perfect, then gradually increase the speed. Make sure you're using a metronome, obviously, and don't tense up. I wouldn't obsess over it too much yet though, just spend a little time each day alongside the rest of your practice. It'll take care of itself to a good extent as you improve holistically.
>>65411877
you memeing bro?
>>65411663
mad you only have a squier affinity starter kit?
>>65411888
It always amazes me that people can make songs on simple chord progressions. It makes me feel good like, "Hey I can do that!"
On the same idea, why don't you people tour and make songs? A lot of people on /gg/ on more talented than a lot of bands out there. Im sure you can create better songs than most bands out there.

I really, really, enjoyed this material. It made me regret going to sleep when I did. I'm just waking up, so bear with me, but I'd like to get into this.
First of all, I realize a flat fretboard is great for most players. The more detailed article doesn't acknowledge any advantage to neck relief, so I'll explain the reasoning behind what I see the advantages of neck relief to be. The first thing I need to explain is the "middle pocket" the article mentions. The way I set up my guitars, with relief, does not have such a pocket. It can be kind of hard to visualize this, but basically think of it like taking a curve, and tilting it so it starts out flat, and gets progressively higher. That "starting out flat" is due to the bridge action. So here we will see the action starts at its lowest(21st fret), then gets progressively higher. Compare that to a flat neck and a raised bridge providing relief. This forms a triangle. The action starts at its highest(21st fret) and get progressively lower.
Now, here's the problem with each of these. The article touched on this but missed the mark. There's two places for fret buzz, halfway between the fretted note and the bridge, and at the next highest fret. The Neck relief guitar will have the most issue with buzz at the next fret near the bridge. The flat neck will have middle of the string buzz. That's because if the action is getting progressively lower, and the length of string is getting progressively longer, the vibrating string is getting closer and closer to the frets.

Microdark+PPC112 it's not bad, but it's a bit too bassy
>>65404731
Yes. You can get really good at it and play basically any song right away. Don't exclusively use rocksmith though, use it as a fun pratoce tool. I have over 675 hours on it. Good shit.
>>65413517 continued
Now most players have their action somewhere between these two. That's where player preference comes into it. Why would one player prefer a flatter action than another? This is a question of dynamics. For the sake of argument lets talk about acoustic volume. We know that notes lower(nearer to the nut) on the fretboard have more volume. This works out nicely for a player who has a flat relief and needs to be more gentle the further they move down the neck. However, we've now got two factors affecting how much volume you get. Different players are going to perceive the middle point between how softly you can play and how much more volume they're getting from the string.
Much more common than that difference is the issue of playability. Some players will feel they have more control if they can pick with the same strength all over the fretboard. To achieve that their action will fall somewhere between a flat board with a raised neck, and a low bridge with neck relief.
I hope this explains why most players have some degree of neck relief. By all means, it's a common misconception to rely only on the truss rod to change action though.

i'm not him, and you're proving my point.
>>65413525
Nice.
Although I haven't played with it too much yet, I havent found a great "darker" tone yet. I guess there's no amp that can do everything.

Pretty jelly, considering I don't even have an amp right now and am settling with my Azunyan amplug
How much was it? Was there a sale?
>>65413632
Haha wow
>>65413639
Thanks bro
I got 10%+$25 off the regular price
Not the greatest deal obviously, especially compared to used prices, but for Canada, it doesn't get much better than this.
The sale was part of the huge event thing I was posting about earlier in the thread.
>>65409336
Pretty wide. Better than L&M for sure. Do you live in the area?
>>65413397
Considering you can't know what'll work on cello, I'd start with a strong multifx. Unlikely they'll have it at "c music store" but try to get one of those that lets you rearrange effects in a virtual chain. Anyway, nothing's gonna be designed for cello so there's pretty much no chance any high end effects will be worth the price.

Sounds like an amp (the Azusa model is based on the Vox Night Train). I've never played on a real Night Train before so I don't know how accurate it models the real thing.
I really like the clean sound I can get out of it. It also has an onboard overdrive effect which i like.

And on that note:
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.
>>65414536
that's good. Do you always play with headphones in or a speaker?
I haven't tried the night train either though, only ever tried an AC15 from Vox.
Can you record directly from the plug? I'd love to hear some stuff from it.

>>65414817
isn't /vr/ like the next generation of autism when it comes to that stuff though? I imagine they only play on certified CRT tvs with the original consoles and everything.
I don't know anymore, I gave up on videogames a long time ago.
>>65414632
Right now I can't, I'm actually in Las Vegas staying with family and left the wires and stuff needed to record from the amplug back home in CA. I pretty much just brought my Mustang with me and a couple of necessities.
I've recorded some weeb stuff with the classical guitar I bought off LV Craigslist and posted them in the last couple of threads though.
>>65414785
Ah ha, jokes on you! I actually have to work and earn my own living so I don't have any money for dated video games or gear!

First thread I clicked on was someone asking about buying an old console, then the first post talking about how it wasn't worth it if you don't have a crt, and that even if you have a crt its bad anyway.

>>65416266
niiice
what volume does it start to break up?
>>65411462
standbys aren't required
they are a relic of the past and were stuck on amps for amp technicians
some amp techs actually say to not use the standby at all as turning the amp on without it has the tubes experience a progressive ramp up in current, when you use the stand by, its full blast all at once and this causes wear on the tubes.
>>65416352
>some amp techs actually say to not use the standby at all as turning the amp on without it has the tubes experience a progressive ramp up in current, when you use the stand by, its full blast all at once and this causes wear on the tubes
No they don't.
>>65416324
Depends on the output of the pickups. With some hot telecaster pickups, its starting to breakup when its at about 4.5. With my Jazzmaster and Gretsch, it starts breaking up more like 5.5.
I had a blackface DRRI in the past and this LTD version seems to be more progressive in volume than the blackface. With the blackface I had, volume was basically maxed at 5 and then over that it just increased the overdrive. I think that one started breaking up more like 3.5-4

This. I had an issue like that, you can put a little glue or something in there (I've heard super glue with some nut shavings works really well) or upgrade the nut if you want. Just make sure the action is about even, you definitely do not want that E string sitting way up.
Anyone know some good books for bass? Preferably jazz. Also is there some concepts in guitar books that I could apply to my playing. I just want to get better

>>65417322
just go to your local store and buy it dude
don't ask here anyways
if you need to be reassured by anons, its probably not worth buying. Find something that you like and try it out in store

Not pictured: Crappy Jasmine and ibanez bass on loan to a friend.
I actually like the cube, it's very versatile and I'm not cutting masters so who cares. Someday I'll have an AC30, but I'll probably get a banjo before I pick up another guitar.
Strat clone is a Vox Superace from 62-64. Tremolo is useless but the electronics are nice and I like the slightly convex neck.
And stop being so hard on bluetelefag, mommy's little rockstar just wanted to show off his cool amp.
>>65417322
I would recommend you to start with something like a HSS strat since that is more versatile but just go with whatever you want, a squier vintage modified is really good and far better than what most people start with so you'll be most likely satisfied with your purchase.
>>65417375
Well I really like jags, but like I said I don't own an electric, I have no idea what I like. I'm not really opposed to buying one online, I'd have no idea what to look for in person anyway.

humbucker, single coil, single coil
its the pickup configuration of the guitar, with the humbucker closest to the bridge of the guitar.
humbuckers tend to produce warmer sounds, and silence hum
single coils are brighter and don't cancel hum
of course, there are exceptions to both and these are just the common differences.

are you aware that neck plate holes in most fenders after the 60s are threaded you faggot?
if the screws go straight up, and you break the neck so that its at an angle and the screws are still in the neck, something has to give, its going to either bend the screws because now they are forced to go in two directions at once, or the screws will remain straight and widen a plane of the holes toward the rear

If the screws are still biting in to the neck, they are going to cause damage. You have to take the screws out of the neck holes and then it's ok to snap it to an angle. The guy in that vid left screws still engaged in the neck. This will chew up the holes in the neck.
