Who do you like best:
Him...
>>65834066
..or him?
>>65834066
Him...
>>65834066
That ass convinced me my guitar sucked for not being made of tonewood when I started.
>>65834090
..or him?
>>65834090
Or him?
>>65834111
He's playing his first act target child's guitar on stage. Wow. I bet the other musicians are thrilled with this
>>65834101
was it an acoustic?
Him.
>>65834174
>Wow. I bet the other musicians are thrilled with this
Because of him, they have a job and are playing to a hundred thousand teenagers whose parents paid $30 for a ticket.
How many people do you play to?
If tonewood is a meme, why does /gg/ hate ovation guitars with composite backs?
>>65834174
it's obviously not the target model. It's probably a really nice guitar.
>>65834305
because tonewood is real for acoustics. Fiberglass isn't a tonewood.
>>65834305
"tonewood doesn't matter" is about electric guitars... Nobody here will tell you all acoustic guitars sound the same.
>>65834362
>>65834392
So why does this guy do this again? Did someone make fun of his Peavy amp and Behringer pedals or something?
what's your opinion about Gretsch and this model in particular?
http://www.thomann.de/de/gretsch_g2655t_blk_streamliner.htm
>>65834512
He's a legitimate aspergers sufferer. Thinks he's the hacker known as 4chan. He's a scrawny little nerd that lives with his mom in the attic. He usually shuts up a little bit when someone posts his pic with the justin beiber haircut.
>>65834512
He has autism. Just report and ignore him.
>>65834512
I think it's just that he disagrees with some of the things generally accepted on /gg/.
>>65834662
>>65834674
>>65834753
I while ago I read there was a specific reason, someone was making fun of his youtube channel? Not sure. Thats why I ask.
Is this related to the gearspammer a few years ago? He was such an annoyance
>>65834790
This is not related to any of that stuff. Let's cut the meta discussion now, studies have shown it leads to low thread quality and shitposting.
>>65834899
whos this mammajamma
>>65834790
Yeah. He got all assmad and jealous because people posted their gear. He started posting their pics pretending to be them. A lot of anons put trips on, he got even more upset. He has absolutely no life at all so he posts that same pasta all the time at all hours. About a week ago, he did it for like 4 hours straight claiming he was "winning" and "killed /gg/". Everyone laughed and it became entertaining to see how long it would go on, someone told him we were entertained and he stopped. But really, it's been more than 3 weeks now. Every time i shit i look here and see if he's still "winning" and I'm never disappointed that the little guy is still doing it, with delusions of grandeur.
>>65835007
OK thanks.
He does know that Dan from Have a Nice Life used to post here? That alone shows that people here could possibly know their shit.
>>65835389
>>65835413
This stupid fucking meme. This board is worse than /tv/
>>65835483
It's just one butthurt kid, projecting his insecurities. Literally everything in that post applies to him.
He's legitimately been spamming this thread non-stop for 11 hours now. It's pretty interesting the incredible lengths autists will go once they've got their mind set on something. It's almost admirable just how dedicated he is to this.
Anyone could become a guitar god if they took the amount of effort and dedication he puts into sperging all over a small general around an issue no one really cares about and focused it into their guitar practice.
>>65833914
Anybody ever used the joyo voodoo octave pedal? I just got it because it was cheap and seemed fun. You guys have any advice on how to use it effectively?
>>65835365
You sure are using up a lot of your time. You could be working on your own material instead.
>>65835365
You entertain me while i poop. That's all you are.
>>65835562
>I don't play guitar.
Quote me where I said you did
>>65835562
I never implied you did either so I don't know what you're replying to me for. I'm just interesting in how your mind works, it's intriguing.
>>65835562
Anyone coulda guessed that.
>>65835637
Yeah based on how his spam is technically non-specific, he seems like a bleeper.
Also, I've seen him make a mistake and delete his posts (see >>65834931), so it's not a script doing it, he's actually wasting his time posting this.
I don't usually post in /gg/ at all, I was just curious what's going on. There are often novices here, but sometimes there are knowledgeable people like myself.
>>65835696
He also makes comments in a few of the spams which further confirms that he's really just been sitting here for soon 12 hours spamming away without an audience.
It's interesting
>>65835756
It's hilarious.

My cousin is going to University soon, non essential information:
>(going back, she's 19 I'm 24, went a year early dropped twice, lots of issues at home, drugs, abuse, she doesn't have a social media or complain about it to anyone surprisingly, she'd just play guitar quietly, always wanted a classical guitar)
Essential info: they play guitar, steel string acoustic, rather well. Going in for music theory. They can play some of Bach's french suites, cello suites, currently learning BWV565, they're really passionate about music, but I don't have a lot of money to buy a new classical guitar.
I wanted to get a solid top at least. Which do I get: (they currently have an Epiphone)

I'm going to see Sleep play next week. So excited
>>65836304
That Cordoba is the best choice.
>>65836334
You can get a cheap tuner for ~the price a pack of strings are worth. Also if it's a new guitar and it's a cheap piece of crap the strings are usually also cheap to the point of just breaking even if you're tuning it like you're supposed to.
>>65836356
>standard /mu/-core artist
>butthurt
haa ha ha oh wow
>>65836334
You can just play the ones that aren't broken. You can also just get the one string. But you can get 3 sets of ernie ball online for like 10$. Also your "question" was a sentence with "?" at the end

You know first act makes really high end customs as well as the walmart boxsets right? A lot of the top 40 backing band guitarists play first act
>>65836589
>A lot of the top 40 backing band guitarists play first act
Top 40 is usually utter garbage.
However Matt Pike also has a custom first act 9 string (6 strings with 3 courses of 2 strings), you're right about them not being shit.
How good are these?
>>65834305
> why does /gg/ hate ovation guitars with composite backs?
I don’t play guitar but I think Ovations are neato, as the founder of company, Charles Kaman, built helicopters and adapted the synthetic material tech from that industry to make his guitars.
That said, my buddy who does play guitar doesn’t like the rounded backs, as the guitar slides off his lap.
>>65836377
tfw sleep will probably never come to my country
>>65836117
Seymore Duncan have better and cheaper pickups
>>65835531
Yes and I loved it! I had to back off on the treble on my Deluxe but it sounded great especially with a boost or light overdrive behind it with a guitar with single coils. Joyo make amazing pedals for the money, I am also sure they make lots of other pedals under different brand names.
>>65836828
Jackson got bought by fender so their quality Sort of went down. Just check what country it is maurfatured in. If it's Indonesia made stay away. Early 2000s Japan made Jackson's are pretty commnon on eBay if you're sold on the brand, I own two myself and they play great. Just be warned the floyds in most of those models can't be perfectly intimated because they only have positions the saddles can be moved to, but it doesn't really matter that much.
>>65836446
i was using a tuner.. i think i was tuning an octave too high, but i'm not sure. how can i tell? i think i'm tone deaf

pick one.
>>65837067
>>65837100
I'll fuck right off then. Thanks for the heads up.
>>65837329
just google up an online tuner, they'll usually have decent sound samples so you've got some idea of what the string should sound like
take this one, it seems alright.
http://www.8notes.com/guitar_tuner/?sstring=E1
Also make sure you're restringing it correctly too, there's lots of guides out there for all kinds of guitars.

Here's my early 2000s Japanese Jackson
I want to buy a strandberg boden OS, and they models with 2 different pickups
They have a model with emg 707x pickups and another with alumitone X-bar lace pickups
Which ones are better?
Redpill me on each
I heard some demos of the 707x but it sounded so horrible and I thought pickups couldn't sound that bad, it has to be the amp

fell right into the trap my man
lol Won't underage fags ever learn? They are so fucking stupid
>>65837371
wasn't too hard
https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/ray_charles/i_cant_stop_loving_you_ver4_crd.htm
transpose it up a half step and that's about it
if anyone else wants to play it
>>65837697
Lol you realize that's how learning works right, by making mistakes and theb remembering where you fucked up.
>>65837783
How old are you?
>>65837783
>not knowing that 4chan is 18+
>ever saying your age when you're underage
he deserved to get banned desu
>>65837514
alumitone bars are bright and clear. So much so that they are bound to not match up that well with many amps. I don't think they're a good idea for someone who doesn't like to put much effort into sculpting their tone. On the other hand that's the right extreme end of the pickup spectrum to be at. It is always easier to add warmth, low end, and mud than to add clarity and convincing brightness.
The alumitones are sort of a shot at the "ultimate humbucker" in that way. They're supposed to do it all, and they certainly can, but not by simply plugging into an amp with a 3 band EQ.
>>65837783
you don't have to fuck up to learn though
I managed my underage years here just fine because I wasn't a complete idiot
t. different fag
>>65837825
Yeah, but I'm saying that he learned by getting banned, and he needed to get banned bad.
>>65837849
Good point, but different people learn differently.
>>65837858
That doesn't change the fact that underage fags are idiots.
Wouldn't you agree?
>>65837895
yeah and I feel sorry for people who have to learn the hard way
not really, I just laugh at them
>>65837905
Yeah, I agree. They are idiots, and they get banned by being idiots.
>>65836180
Levys sells some and I know their straps are well made and sturdy. But I'd take a semi-rigid any day over a leather gigbag. Too expensive and doesn't protect much.
finally getting a drumset and i'm stoked. can finally jam with a full band
i have a really really cheap bass. It feels better than the Fender jazz i have but the sound is horrifying. Is it worth to upgrade the single coil pick up?
>>65838082
Sure dude. My pickups are worth more than the bass they're in and I've never regretted it.
>>65838036

honestly. these threads were fantastic like a couple months ago too
>>65838407
been playing guitar for 11 years but haven't played the drums much. they're mostly for my friend who's been playing a long time so he doesn't have to lug his set to my house every time we wanna play. although i am excited to fuck around on the kit
>>65838401

You can buy individual strings at guitar center I believe.

Because of anime posting.
There are only two cancers in /gg/

Man, these threads are going well, aren't they?
>>65838786
Anime posting serves the purpose of discouraging normies and high schoolers for the most part from posting. At the very least you can expect more weebs than kids tabbing between 4chan and facebook to actually read the rules or want to use the website for more than memes. If you find anime itself annoying to see, I dunno. I mean, it's got to be less disturbing that vomit.gif or literal shitposting.
It does seem counter-intuitive to discourage newfags by simply being unpleasant, but if you actually watch anime or read manga than the only downside is that occasionally people complain. It's not a utopia for everyone, but my guess is this is the underlying reason why people reply to complaints with >on 4chan.
Try to look at it like people posting any other meme: It's stupid and laughable. That might help you put up with it more easily.

>tfw you've got an XLR dick
>>65838844
I use seymour duncans in my bass. I wouldn't use them if anybody else made a stacked jazz bass pickup for cheaper. I prefer gfs when they offer what I want. Seymour duncan is fine but nothing special when it comes to machine made pickups. Frankly, if you're getting a machine made pickup, look for the following: some attempt to measure the gauss of the magnet, and the overall design and specs (including materials) you want.
I've found hand wound pickups or scatterwound pickups can be worth it if you want to cut down slightly on the capacitance of your pickup.
If you're not looking for hand made, gfs, calig, and other artec brands are great. I've found with my admittedly fairly limited experience gfs pickups to have tighter tolerances than seymour duncan.

Just tell me what you want or we'll ignore you again.
>>65839556
Low output is definitely the way to go, except I like medium output in alnico II pickups, just so they're more consistent. It's not like you need pickups to be hot these days, and lower output pickups seem to offer tone you just can't get otherwise.
>>65839423
>Pastafaggot will stare at the computer until it resumes and do nothing else
>post stale pasta again
>>65839650
So what is it that you want? You aren't very clear about that.
>>65839545
Well, classical necks are pretty thick. Even on a smaller bodied classical. I don't like them, either. I abandoned my classical a long time ago. I just find a steel string more satisfying to play.
>>65839685
So you are saying you are a woman?
>>65839772
So why are you doing this? Do you have a manifesto? Even gorespammer had one. What's yours?
>>65839698
Aw man that sucks, I'm really bored by my electric's tone when playing classical but I can't get enough of the thin neck.
At least the nearest store has them in stock so I should be able to try one out, thank you.
>>65839882
one good thing about them is they SMELL fucking great. When you play, the air vibrates the cedary smelling goodness out of the soundhole and it's really something. Go check it out.
>>65839517

so sweet how well he makes the sound flow
How do you get that abrasive post-punk tone like PIL, The Fall, Big Black, e.t.c?
I can get semi-close by turning the tone all the way up on my DS-1 and adding a bit of chorus but it's not there all the way. The only drive pedals I have are a TS7, DS1, and deluxe Muff btw.

who the fuck hovers their hand like 4 inches away from the strings like that
>>65840338
They are probably using a Ratt or maybe an older DS-1. at some point in time Boss changed the circuitry for the DS-1 in the 80s I believe, and they sound wussier. You probably have a newer one, they were using an older one.
Get a Keeley mod or track down an original.

you should be able to get a scratchy shitty punk tone easily with od, dist, and fuzz. Try the tone all the way down on the muff with dimed sustain and volume where you need it. Boost with the DS-1 with all knobs at noon.

Yeah, I had that pickup in a Schecter KM6 before I returned it. It was a bit bright and biting for my taste, but I could see how some people would like that
>>65840116
Damn, that's expensive. I got my zoom g3x for that price and it can do pretty much everything the ditto does, some more stuff too. I dunno, maybe think about a g3(not g3x) since I see them come up used often. Digital delay and reverb is my jam.

Your amp settings are a huge part of it. Give it a bit too much treble, it'll be less physically painful when the drums play over it. I posted the guitarist of this song's gear last thread. http://youtu.be/TRqyT5ByZPQ
He uses a boss blues driver and a jcm900 for this. Blues driver definitely can do real treble-ey stuff.
>>65840799
If you want a dedicated loop box I think having more than one button could be helpful. Being able to stop, resume, and overdub with single presses is useful.
>>65840733
maybe a really weird looking half note?
>>65840895
The x2 would be nice for that, but I don't need the stop button that badly.
>>65840925
i don't have a clue, it has to be a full note i imagine since its 4 beats per measure right?
But what are you supposed to do with it.
I appreciate the response.
>>65840733
First one is just a half note, it gets two beats. The second one is a tie, the chord starts on the eighth note and gets held out through the half note without strumming again
>>65840733
The first one is a half note (one 4th and two 8th notes come before and it's in 4/4 so it must be a half note)
The second one "ties" the note together. In this example it's a 8th and a half note. So you hit the note on the 8th and it's duration is 8th+half or five 8th.
>>65840729
This. I have a zoom g3 and a ditto, and I almost always use the g3 for looping. The only thing the ditto seems to do better is be small.
>>65841028
>>65840993
Thanks I appreciate it, I've seen half notes before but this weird inverted one is the first i've seen.
The tie+the strange half note through me off as well cause I didn't even know what it was.
>>65840733
4 beats per bar. each bar has a quarter note, then 2 eighth notes. half of the bar remains.. and there's something that looks like a half note. it's a half note.
it's odd because they don't use slashes in place of a filled round note, then a box in place of an empty round note
the 2nd one is is a tie. the note is sounded once, and held for the duration of the combined notes. in this case, an eighth + a half

LACE without a doubt. I don't mind some EMG pickups (85), but the 707/707X are average at best.
>>65837112
They're different really. I prefer BKPs to SDs mainly, but they each have their own thing. BKPs have a weird smoothness to the upper mid and high end, as well as pretty crazy note separation. It's not for everyone though. I still use 498Ts in some of my guitars and am a big fan of JBs.

bought this today at a pawn shop. the amp works but its at a low volume, anyone have any idea what it may be, or maybe how much it might cost me?
also, once i get it fixed i have intentions of taking the amplifier head out and building a enclosure for it for a half stack. it's a 15w tube head. what would i need to do, apart from disconnecting the speaker?
>>65844377
No reply to my dubs
>>65844610
How low volume we talking? I had an amp that dropped to whisper volume and it turned out to be a transformer issue. Could just be tubes though.

There's nothing wrong with epiphone. Unless you'd rather have it say gibson on it. I had a friend in high school so butthurt about his epiphone he told everyone it was a gibson and just put a different neck on it.
>>65844610
it's kind of hard to explain, it's loud enough where it's convenient to play in a bedroom, but it should be a lot louder then that. it may be a tube issue. i have a guy that can look at it, i'm just trying to self diagnose.
>>65840116
I got mine from Reverb for $60 shipped. New open box.
>>65844826
>>65844875
Amp diagnosis isn't my strength. Doesn't sound like anything serious though if it's still pushing some volume. Hopefully it's just a tube or something small.

I recently bought this guitar at a local pawn store for $80.
It's possibly a Kay k1160 from around the 1960s, I don't know it didn't have any serial numbers or product info anywhere on it.
As far as I can tell there's nothing really wrong with it.
I haven't gotten a chance to change the strings yet, so they are really fucking dull and nasty, but here's me playing a bit of desperado by the eagles.

One word: Agile.
That's all you need to know.
>>65844377
agile LITERALLY shits all over gibson and epiphone anon. if I were you I'd get an agile
>>65845755
So true.
i dont like this agile meme
>>65844377
Agile is the Metal Gear Solid of the guitar world. Epiphone and Gibson are more like Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified if you ask me.
I have an Epiphone Les Paul standard that I've had for a couple years, and it plays well, but I don't love the sound that much. A bit muddy, maybe? I want to drop a Lace Dirty Hesher (the Matt Pike signature) in the bridge and something mellower sounding in the neck (maybe a p90). Would this be worth it, or should I fork out and get one of the new faded series Gibson LP's?
>>65846226
agile dude. sweet ass stoner tones bone stock bro
>>65846226
No, you should get an Agile instead.
>>65846226
It'll definitely be worth it. Assuming your neck is stable it is always better to upgrade the guitar you have than to purchase a new one. I would also recommend upgrading to 1 meg potentiometers. Another way to brighten the sound is to remove the pickup covers. You can also try removing the screw pole pieces, though this changes the tone quite a bit. It can work well in the neck position.
Anyways in the end swapping pickups is usually a good idea, you get to pick exactly what you want.
>>65844377
>money isn't an issue
Get the Gibson, you'll be happier in the long run. Anything else is just an imitation. Do not get an Agile , they're cheap asian pieces of shit.

>>65847037
>super chomp
Tell your eviction notice I said Hi.
>>65847037
12" isn't more or less loud than 10". Volume is a product of wattage and speaker efficiency. It can scream but sounds fine at low volumes. You could always swap the preamp 12ax7 for a lower output 12at7.

So I've never been a Gibson/Epiphone guy. Have been a Fender guy for as long as I can remember, but God damn I played a Made in America Gibson thunderbird the other day and I absolutely LOVE the way this ugly thing sounds. My only problem is the Gibson is 1k and the Epiphone is (for me GC-Discount) $225 and during a blind test I couldn't really tell too much of a difference.

>>65847945
>pic related, is it an Asian shill or an honest lad?
Shill. Agile are okay but they're about as good as what you expect them to be for the price maybe slightly ahead. The low end stuff is Chinese and the higher end stuff is a low end Korean factory (not World Music Co).
>>65848047
So I did some more research and it looks like the agile 3000 and I'm assuming above that are what is supposed to match up to the Gibson, I dunno what to do
>>65847987
>clean/dirty mix before you even touch the gain
I think on that marshall it would sum the inputs and sort of boost the overdrive. It depends on the amp. On my old Fender bassman, i bridge the bass and instrument inputs to make use of the mids knob and sort of blend the bass to thicken everything.
And here is a modded fretless I did for a friend a week or so ago.
>>65838947

This just isn't true. They're sub-World Music Co quality. Good for the price but that's about it.
>>65848165
was it hard to do?
>>65848209
Ok, yea there is a comparison thing on some guitar website a guy did but he sounded like one of those smug introverted death metal Canadians so I don't really trust it, that and Canadian has lots of orientals so he could have been biased.
Aside from the auto tune meme is the peavey at 200 good for the price?
>weebs actually think they're contributing and driving "normies" out of /gg/
>>65847522
To get the thunderbird sound you basically just need low output humbuckers, though singles can get there. Using the normal tricks you use to get plenty of midrange and high end is a good idea.
The most noticeable aspect of the sound is the low resistance pickup. If you already have a bass adding a guitar humbucker can achieve the sound better than you might expect.
Dude, trust me. Just get an Agile, you won't ever be sorry you did. I got the model you were looking and it's pretty great. Much nicer than Epiphone or Gibson guitars.
>>65848410
>If you already have a bass adding a guitar humbucker can achieve the sound better than you might expect.
Might be worth a try. Thanks for the advice anon, I'll look into it.
>>65848314
Who even claimed that normies should get out of this place? The only person who wants that to happen is the person who keeps spamming his pathetic pasta, except he wants everyone to stop discussing about anything because of his poorfag jealousy not even his autismbux would provide him anything he wants.

>>65848309
Agiles are great guitars. The pickups are not great, but everything else is pretty spot-on. The problem with people comparing them to gibson is mostly the backlash. Any time you say a guitar is as good as one 10 times its price you're asking for a fight. Anyways, they offer some great options, like graph-tech saddles or neck-though. If you're in the U.S., just get one. If you don't like it, return it.

If you're in the US it's not a big deal. I've had a handful of encounters with them on behalf of people and their response if you're outside of the US loosely translates to, "fuck off and deal with it."
I have no desire to have anything to do with them after encountering a handful of unplayable guitars and having Rondo/Agile refuse to replace them.
They're good for the money depending on where you live (ESP LTD are cheaper here) but comparing an Agile to a high end guitar is somewhat absurd. Your strike rate on getting a brilliant guitar will be the same as midrange ESP LTDs.
