sire v7 bass yes or no?
gibson sg faded 2016 yes or no?
i know its muh gibson and toan wood but i genuinely like the, look and sound they have
can I have permission to make a purchase?
I'm too dumb to make my own decisions and really should be in permanent foster care or a mental institution.
fender strat yes or no?
i dont want to buy a squire or an epi lp because people seem to like jazz here.
I like rocks what guitar should I buy?
wasting money on brand name goods yes or no?
I'm extremely self conscious about looking successful and I'm incapable of assigning value to things without the assistance of a marketing department. I get offended when somebody suggests the conclusion I came to as a result of marketing was misled.

Its a nice playing sg. If you get one on sale its a killer price

You can "jazz" on any guitar.
You can play anything on any guitar, it's just a matter of knowing how to
>>66158772
Reported
Also there are no dumb questions.
But a word of advice to anyone looking making a purchase:
Follow your gut and what you first set your eyes on. Don't let the cheap anons on here convince you to buy knock offs and chink shit. You will only end up unhappy, or not as satisfied as you could be. Buy what appeals to you on first sight and playing.
What tube amp should I buy for crystal clear cleans?
I don't want any saturation or distortion. Must cost at least $900. Must be all tube and at least 200 watt. Will mostly be playing with headphones.
>>66158994
thanks anon
>>66159047
>What tube amp should I buy for crystal clear cleans?
Not a tube amp
>>66158961
they've got a jazz band at my son's school, they have a gibson sg and a p. bass, along with one marshall and a peavey. they made it work. you can probably make it work too
>>66158994
Following your gut is absolutely the most idiotic way to spend your money I can think of apart from the lotto.

Kek remember the anon from a few months back who tried defending playing with a guy who wouldn't take showers?
Then he got butthurt when people said they wouldn't play with ugly guitarists.
>>66159434
>Too poor to afford one.
Sorry bruh
>>66159218
whats wrong with faded finishes
>>66159591
What the guy was saying is that he would only play guitar with someone who has a gloss finish
To amp guy:
>>66158405
A tube amp responds more and better to the dynamics of your playing so if you strum hard, it sounds louder. There's also much more overtones and a bit more transparency in chords. On the flipside, it's less forgiving of bad playing (which is why many beginners and bad players favor transistors).
>>66159448
The guy who didn't take showers came up after that anon tried to defend some guy. Anyways this is getting too meta for healthy discussion.
>>66159506
They literally make their guitars out of particle board.
>>66159682
That orange amp supposedly emulates these characteristics of tubes, so I think it should be fine. Thanks for the heads up though!
Worst case scenario, I order it from thomann, don't like it, return it and get the marshall
>>66159682
>tube amps compress less than solid state amps
>>66159682
This has to be bait. Please tell me it's bait.
>>66159767
>>66159812
Not him, but is this not true?
When I switch over to my tube amp I find my mistakes are a lot more noticeable. Maybe it's just with smaller practice solid state amps that it compresses more?
Does anyone know of any acoustic finger style PDF lessons? It'd help a lot.
>>66159682
>A tube amp responds more and better to the dynamics of your playing so if you strum hard, it sounds louder
that's compression
>There's also much more overtones
that's bollocks
>it's less forgiving of bad playing (which is why many beginners and bad players favor transistors).
that's also bollocks
>>66159767
I think tubes compress at a lower threshold, with a ratio that increases with the amplitude and trans amps don't compress until you get close to clipping, and then they compress much harder then a tube amp. And tubes are more soft knee, and trans are more hard knee.
>>66159666
yes i got that, but why? whats wrong with satin finishes
What can /gg/ tell me about BKP Blackhawks?
>>66159992
Just practice. You're not doing it right until you have blisters from practicing so much.
>>66160068
I do, I practice a lot. I just need practice material, like new things to practice.
>>66159159
Don't listen to this guy. If you don't turn up the volume too much on a tube amp you get an awesome clean sound.
>>66160055
Nothing. Musicians are picky assholes
>>66160410
>f you don't turn up the volume too much on a tube amp you get an awesome clean sound.
If you're idea of "awesome" is muffled and shite, that's a fair assessment
>>66160484
Nice opinion bro
Just refinished this early 80s Electra x630n P Bass copy. Got it for $20 at a garage sale. It had some stain or paint spilled across the body but it cleaned up pretty easily.
>>66159743
And they still sound better than most guitars in their price range. Construction/bracing etc is just as important as wood used.
>>66160410
it depends on the amp, m8
>>66160055
Nothing really wrong with them I guess, but they're typically a cheap-out cost-saver on the part of the manufacturer. They do slowly get shiny spots as your hand grease gets on the body.
>>66160532
any other good deals you got from the garage sale? How much was the tele?
Fuzz, Distortion or Overdrive?
What's better, /gg/?
Do drugs make you a better musician? I just started playing
>>66161049
I play thrash and think distortion is for leads, punk or black metal
wouldn't really use a pedal on a clean amp if you're playing any fast metal as the pedal will have a hard time tracking like an amp.
I use an overdrive in front of an overdiven amp with either a compressor or TS spark for the leads.
>>66161200
No. Boutique pedals do.
This is what I've got, how do I shoegaze? Also have £350 I can spend on gear.

Sounds like someone never listened to swedish death metal.
Also distortion for lead is a terrible idea unless you want to go from crystal clear to the pedal's minimal settings

If you want to stay on the affordable side, Boss pedals can do the job, as can any pedal brand like Electro-Harmonix or TC Electronics MXR. But if you like boutique pedals:
>Earthquaker Devices
>Dwarfcraft Devices
>Devi Ever FX
>Death by Audio
>Noisemaker Effects
>Chase Bliss Audio
>Strymon
>Old Blood Noise Endeavors
>Mantic Effects
>Smallsound/Bigsound
>Walrus Audio
>>66161539
Do you think it's a wise choice to buy a guitar where the company's "icon" is a fat retard who's only ability lies in fast scale runs ?
They're just schecters in a drag, sure they're less gaudy, but they're also pricier.
>>66161603
>muddy like swedish death
if anything, swedish death metal's the opposite of muddy, way too much high end in the guitar's sound.

Run a first act through a dual rectifier, throw some studio magic on it, and it'll sound nice too. It won't change that it plays like shit, and needs too much fine tuning to sound good.

This. Also applies to buttmad debbie downer elitists or negative nancys on sites like 4chan. Read some reviews from people who've actually touched one, and go to the store and try it yourself.
>>66162655
>go to the store and try it yourself
I don't know of anyone in California that sells them
>>66162625
Cool.I don't suppose you've tried one of there bodies have you?
>>66162688
No, I just bought a neck as a replacement. I can only guess that the quality would be the same.
I'm a complete amature who has never played an instrument in their life, and I wanna learn to play Bass. Is Ibanez a good brand, and are there any lesson plans online that you guys recommend?
>>66162762
They're one of the best value low-end brands for bass. I started on a MIM P Bass for $250 and that also served me well for years.
What pedals are used to get that washy sound 2:50 in?
a compressor?
Galaxie400- snowstorm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VejZKCpNnrs
>>66162762
Ibanez is good. Yamaha is also very good at the entry-level range. I'd recommend either of them over Squier if you're on a budget but especially Yamaha.
I don't know of any good online courses but the Hal Leonard Bass Method complete series can be gotten off of Amazon for about $15USD and is superb. It won't make you a master, but getting all the way through it would give you the tools to be a very, very good bassist.
>>66162687
Kek. California? Or just near you... California is pretty big. Well, i know i probably won't want to travel more than 90 mins to try a guitar, so i get what you're saying. The way music shops are so scarce now I'd jusy do a bunch of research. If you find dozens of "eh, wasn't what i thought" reviews just avoid it. Just google (guitar you want) reviews. The more you read the better idea you'll get.
>>66162762
yeah its a good brand
there are a bunch of links in OPs paste that will teach you stuff
playing along with music is also a good way to practice
>>66162655
Unless you're shopping for the most popular gear this isn't usually possible. Learning how to interpret non-shill yt demos and detect bullshit is essential.
Learning guitar and everything has been pretty easy up until the f chord, as expected. Is this where the difficulty plateaus?
What's a better guitar for a beginner? An Epiphone LP or Fender Tele?
What's the main difference between Gibsons and Epiphones ?
>>66162919
you kind of just need to practice until you get to the point where its easy
>>66162969
Tele. Better QC than Epiphone
>>66162969
Tele by a long shot. If you browse /gg/ long enough you'll discover how much anguish and despair Epi LPs cause people.
>>66163011
What about a Squier Tele?
>>66163011
assuming he won't quit after 2 weeks of playing...
Are used MIA/MIJ Teles worth the money compared to MIM? I'm thinking about saving up long term for one rather than perpetuating my cycle of buying/flipping cheaper guitars as I get bored with them.
>>66162762
buy one with 5 strings so when you give up your instruments value depreciates less
>>66162762
If you can get a squier vintage modified, step on it. Squier is actually capable of producing scarily good basses, but they have absolutely shit quality control, so the cheaper you go the more likely you will get a shit bass.
I have an affinity PJ at the moment, and it's just fine.
>>66163147
Time to start lurking then
>>66163147
more like if you browse /gg/ long enough you'll discover how much of a circlejerk it is around these guitars
>>66163338
I won't give up. Im starting a new life with new interests
>>66163413
other than the hollow bodies i have no idea why anyone would love epis. the difference between them and a decent gibson so much bigger than squier/fender.
>>66163443
Well, don't rely on motivation too much. Every beginner says that they'll never stop playing but they lose interest real quick. If you have discipline, you shouldn't have to worry about wanting to quit.
>>66163446
Gibsons are so expensive tho
>>66163446
I'm not talking about epiphones
/gg/ circlejerks a whole fucking lot around telecasters for a design that still has some flaws
>>66163537
What?
Only because they are perfect. Design wise, they're beautiful. Playability wise? Loses to strats.
I dont know what flaws you're talking about. Three saddle bridge? Swappable and only on vintage spec models.
What else?
>>66163535
I had an SG Special for years that played better than any other Gibson I've tried that only cost me $650. They've really whored themselves out as a brand but there's still some good value stuff out there used.

YES, I fucking love my fender strat, you can play jazz on it just fine. I'd go and play one in a store first though, just to be aure
>>66159047
Fender amps are known for awesome clean tones
>>66163590
Having to swap out parts is a flaw, so yes, the bridge is a problem, there's no contour either, the body's thick (and no I'm not a gibson fanboy, the body's outrageous on LPs too), the cutaway on the lower horn could be little bit better.
For such a hyped thing, it could be better.
>>66163535
buy used
>>66163590
Not him but swappable isn't a valid argument.
>>66162973
Gibsons are good yet overpriced and epiphones are shit but cheap.
>>66161539
I've heard nothing but great things about Chapman guitars, people saying no are just trying to be cool
>>66163750
>>66163773
Yes, but literally every tele has a six saddle bridge unless you specifically go for a vintage spec'd one..
Also the body's not thick at all, don't know what you're talking about. Nor do I know how or why you would need to change the lower horn. Not like you ever go near it anyways.
All your problems with it are literally fixed with the strat. I still prefer teles though as the shape is perfect to me.
>>66162263
I don't understand the no headstock stock look, what is the point

>>66163963
>>66163955
>>66163903
I said it looked like shit on reddit and people got super fucking angry, just make a small headstock if you want weight relief
>>66164006
What do you expect? It's a meme that originated on reddit itself.
People think sacrificing the look of a guitar is worth taking off half a pound or so
>>66163853
>unless you specifically go for a vintage spec'd one..
And it's still a flaw, look at the whole lot of "vintage" loving fuckfaces who think it's a good thing.
>Not like you ever go near it anyways.
That's stupid as well, if a car starts to fall apart once you reach 150km/h, even if you don't usually go at 150km/h, it's a flaw. If I buy an instrument, I want to make use of its whole register. Why do you think there are frets up there ? To look pretty ?
And no, buying another guitar won't change the flaws in that guitar.
>>66163888
Tuning's more stable, the guitar is slightly lighter, which also makes the neck dive less.
>>66159047
>Must be all tube and at least 200 watt. Will mostly be playing with headphones.
>>66164032
I think the body looks cool but the headstock looks pain in the ass
>>66164056
What the fuck kind of analogy is that.
You still have good reach with the lower horn, but aside from making it cut deeper into the body, what can be changed? Honestly sounds like you've never played one.
In their defense, three saddle bridges are pretty aesthetic. The intonation problem is negligible for most players.
Still, you still haven't named one real flaw that a modern telecaster has. Sounds like you're just upset that no one likes to talk about your gear.
>>66164056
Why not get a 36 fret guitar then? After 22, the pick ups need to be moved which sacrifices sound. Neck pickups are usually centered over where the 24th fret would be, which is a natural harmonic. Just bend at 22 if you need that high of a note
>>66163537
Don't forget, they're like the first really hideous guitar. The body looks like something 6th graders make in wood shop.
>>66164056
Get vintage tuners like a real man, tuning is stable as fuck even with a floating trem
>>66164177
Do middle/bridge pickups also hit harmonics?
>>66163590
>Design wise, they're beautiful.
That's completely subjective. I think those things are ugly as shit. Which is why i never bought one. Also, i never had to change parts out of necessity.
>>66164221
Im not sure, I'd assume so. I only heard about the neck one because that is the first thing that would need to be moved.
>>66164181
>>66164226
I thought the Tele was ugly as shit first but I've learn to appreciate their minimalism
>>66162263
The guitarist for my band uses an OS so I've played his for a few hours before.
They're brilliant guitars, ridiculously light, really comfortable, headstock thing sort of helps you keep focus on the fretboard (for me at least) and it stays in tune fine.
Pickups sound a little bit too hot for my liking, he's got a USA custom shop Strat I prefer playing but I'd definitely say it's worth the money if that's your bag, the Endur-neck/fanned fret combo is also ridiculously comfy, took me hardly no time to get used to and I'd never played fanned fret before in my life aside basses.
>>66164243
I could see that. I mean i don't care that much if it's all blocky and awkward looking. I'm just saying it isnt a wonderful piece of artwork as it's praised on here for being.
>>66164154
I said could be better, not that it's complete garbage, no need to get so offended.
And no, having the wrong notes is not a negligible problem, look at how much cello players work on that.
Also having no contour is an issue when even cheap-ass chinese guitars have them. You could also make the heel thinner or make it neck through. There's a lot of stuff that could be improved in the tele.
>>66164177
Because 36 fret is stupid, you get a lot of intonation issues, it'll sound like shit, and if you need to add an octave, you can get another string. And good luck playing on the 30 fret
>>66164181
Completely subjective. I kinda like their shape.
The only guitars where I went "oh god that's really ugly" are edgy as fuck "metal" guitars.
Post cool looking guitars
>>66164301
I don't think it's as praised here as you seem to think.
There's a decently sized group that actually owns telecasters here, and aside from that no one real talks much about them.
Great no idea where you're getting this impression from. Or are you just mad about the meme master thing?
>>66164380
Yeah, those are features that are literally included on a ton of modern telecaster models now. A good number of them have adapted the contoured heel design.
Also making it neck through would take away from the guitar if you ask me. There's plenty good reasons why fender doesn't do that and why a lot of guitarists, myself included, don't like it.
>>66163282
A nicer guitar is not going to be less boring, really. If you don't want to get bored of a guitar you better get some real options built into the thing.

there's a rather large clique of telemasturbators here, there's more posted than strats, and most of the time none of them care enough to post clips.
The heel's okay, but there's better designs.
Also I never understood the idea that neck through are worse because you can't replace the neck, has anyone in here even had to replace a neck on a decent guitar ?

Seriously lmao. See, i think those are neat. Guess that's why they make so many different shapes. Like pizza toppings, everyone has their favorite.
Trying to find a tube combo amp for bar gigs that is not a Fender Blues Junior with the following:
Less than 45 lbs
Effects Loop
Spring reverb (no digital reverb)
OR no reverb at all
Master volume (so no Deluxe Reverbs)
Takes pedals well
Any takers? Thinking something boutiquey as shit. I've thought about a Blues Deluxe or a Hot Rod Deluxe but those seem like safe choices.
Pic related, the amp I don't want
>"I don't use theory or anything like that, I just play everything by ear"
Literally the most ignorant statement you hear from guitarists. Unless you have perfect pitch, you don't play everything by ear. You just play random shit through trial and error until you find something that sounds good.
I fucking hate it when people say "hurr durr I just play by ear"

No, no... i just don't think they're very good looking. Which i why i dont own one. I mean, if i acquired one somehow, id probably hang onto it. I mean, I've hung onto worse actual garbage before. Any playable instrument is a like a tool that's still worth having.
>>66164639
The problem is that if you break the neck, you break the whole guitar and it costs a shit ton of money to get fixed. This is bad since it's the easiest part of the guitar to actually break. not to mention the notorious case of the Gibson headstock falling off.
And often times replacing a neck is cheaper than getting it fixed.
Also customization. Suddenly feel like you want a maple fretboard? Just swap necks.
To me, neck through guitars take a kind of "closed box" Apple style approach. Not what I like.
Not to mention, bolt ons are cheaper to produce and therefore buy. Only advantage to neck through is the upper fret access really, but it's not important to me.

All edges lead to is more work at the factory, easier paint chips, and almost painful ergonomics

gibson headstocks are a design flaw, and probably a bit over estimated. I've never heard of any other headstock breaking off.
Seriously the only cases where I've heard about necks breaking is because of mishandling the guitar.

You forgot about "theory limits creativity".

Do you even make a living as a musician but live in a walkup?
>>66164868
Yeah, it's rare to actually break a neck, but it's still a cause for concern. Having a bolt on just feels sturdier to me, even though I'm careful.
Replacing a neck can sometimes be cheaper than refretting though if you need that done.

You need to work on your listening skills.
>>66161049
if you get a fuzz, get something besides boss.
if you get distortion, that's okay
if you get overdrive, get something else besides boss
so of the 3, the distortion is the only one worth it. and honestly there are better distortions, even better versions of that specific distortion
>>66164524
boredom aside is it a comparably good value? i'm leaning toward mij since i've always heard good things about japanese fenders.
>>66164680
why no blues jr? there's a reason it's so popular. i have one and imo it's the most practical fender tube amp you can buy.
>>66164961
it probably sounds great, though. i'd love to have this as an all-in-one meme machine.
>>66165284
>>>66164680 (You)
>why no blues jr? there's a reason it's so popular. i have one and imo it's the most practical fender tube amp you can buy.
Because it's boring and a safe choice. Sure, I could get one but I'd rather just have something more snowflakey.
>>66165271
i've never understood the purpose of distortion pedals. they seem totally redundant if your amp has a decent dirty channel while od/fuzz actually add something to your range of possibilities.
>>66165323
if you want to be a true snowflake then go boutique or pic related from fender if that's not in your budget.
>>66165271
fz-5 is incredible. I'm not a fan of most boss drives/distortions though. I like the blues driver a lot, the other drives not so much.

i defended the guy in that thread and i still will. having appearance standards for a band is sooo fucking embarrassing holy shit.
no dean ween you can't play in my band because you don't fit our "criteria". kill yourselves
Any downsides to Side ports like in the pic? Really considering getting them exactly like that, but it seems like they would kill some of the bass in the instrument.
>>66165680
Not looking like a model isn't a problem, but not showering ? That's like bagic hygiene, I don't expect someone who can't even wash themselve to be productive and helpful in a band context.
>>66165753
Think about the crust on the guitar
not showering makes you play better
Micro Cube or Fender Mustang I?
>>66164701
>You just play random shit through trial and error until you find something that sounds good.
no i don't you stupid tone deaf fuck. i hear it in my head then i find it on the guitar (which doesn't take long at all since i've been playing for a long time). i don't search for notes like a mongoloid
>>66165925

>>66166144

You get to hear the guitar better when playing , think of it like being in front of the soundhole.
>>66166179
lol
>>66165908

>>66166144
It's just for better truss rod access. Obviously.
Should I go 00, 000, or dreadnought for a guitar to jam some sweet blues on?
>>66166948
000
>>66166948
I would go 00 or even an 0 size 12 fret, I bought a 000 wanting a smaller guitar and it's just slightly smaller than a dreadnought, The upper bout is a littleuncomfortable tbqh
is it just me or do AC15s usually go for about 300-400 dollars?
i could have sworn that and they were everywhere when I didn't want one, now I want one and all the fucktards on reverb want $650+$100 shipping for a used AC15 when you can get them 630 new shipped
i just want to get one for about $350
I want one of these
>>66167137
They regularly go for less than 400 on Craigslist. Just don't patronize fucktards.
>>66165747
mice crawl in them and poop everywhere inside your meme guitar
>>66166948
000. Watch almost any blues guitarist on an acoustic and it will be a 000.
>>66167169
It's just an electric guitar disguised as an acoustic, dude.
>>66167169
no.
Fender never gets the Tone knob right.
On guitar
>wanna play some jazz
>have to have tone knob rolled off all the way
or at 2 at max, but it's way too muffled
>go beyond 2
>it gets sparkly immediately; all the same shit from 3 up to 10
On Amp
>it's just a goddamn volume boost what the fuck
I literally have no control over EQ.
>>66167216
Post more pictures like this please
>>66167558
sounds like you're tone dead
btw they were never meant to be an eq, that's not what "tone" is
buy an eq pedal dumbass
>>66167558
I think of it like this: from 10 to 3 is a presence control, from 3 to 0 is a treble control.
What is everyone's opinion on the Fender Mustang 90? They got rid of the old sliding switches.
>>66167558
I think the Rhythm Circuit with the tone all the way open is good for jazz. Too bright for you?
>>66167558
That's not just fender, every tone knob I've touched was like this.
>>66167673
I don't know what you're talking about. Can you post a pic or something? I haven't seen anything like this.

What's that mean
>that's not what "tone" is
on guitar, sure, but on the amp it's supposed to be an one-knob EQ control, isn't it?
>>66167669
Now that you mention it, that sounds pretty accurate, yes
>>66167693
I don't know how to explain it, rhythm circuit always sounds 'dead' to me. I use it as a killswitch.
>>66167732
Some of the active pickups I've played are noticeably more dynamic. Or I don't know, maybe it's just in my head
I finally get why I can't write anything complex on my own.
I don't understand complex drums. I know about the basic kind of rhythms but I can't write anything that doesn't feel like a quickly programmed drum.

I think these acoustics with electric pickups sound amazing
>>66167818
Only active I played was a pair of EMGs, and it didn't do shit either
>>66167818
Active preamp EQs are better. Active pickups have a preamp built in, but no tone controls.

N-Nice scratchplates
>pull trigger on $200 squier mustang and some pedals
>mij mustang goes up on craigslist the next day for $400
>>66168693
the idea is pretty good though. you can just switch them and don't do permanet damage to your guitars body. i think original new fender ones cost like 40 bucks and off brand they sell for like 10. i think i'll order a cheap one right the fuck now for my strat and see if i can do something nice with it.
>>66169633
im doing a bitch of research and there are actualyl websites where you can get scratchplates printed with your own motives for relatively cheap (50 bucks). how come i never heared about this before.
>>66167735
It's new apparently, saw it at that SNAMM thing.
It's in this video

Can anyone help me with my bass guitar, im a complete noob? I accidentaly tuned the G string too high and it snapped, then the 3 remaining strings had a ton of fret buzz. I took them all off and put a new E string on and it of course still has a ton of fret buzz. Will the fret buzz go away if i put all 4 strings on, or do i have to adjust the truss rod? Again, I have no idea what im doing, i didnt even know what a truss rod was untill i googled fret buzz.
It also kinda looks like the nut has been sunken into the neck on the G string side, maybe because i tightned it so tight? Like the nut is significally lower on the G string than on the E string, is it supposed to be level?
>>66169980
Get it serviced by someone who wont wreck it
>>66168406
i kinda like tapping like that or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiERPVIEvSc
and i wanna get a bit into math rock and tapping is also used a lot there by some bands, does anyone have good resources to learn how to? on 6 string though.
>>66170053
It rather be self sufficient though. If im ever going to be serious about playing the bass guitar shouldnt i learn to service it myself? Fuck paying someone what i'd imagine is an absurd amount of money for 15 minutes of work. Am i wrong?
>>66165908
>>66166399
At least wash your hands and crotch.
>>66170110
>If im ever going to be serious about playing the bass guitar shouldnt i learn to service it myself?
Not really.
Also you seem stupid enough that you will wreck it. Service it yourself if you want, but high chance you will fuck it entirely
>>66170110
it comes with time
please get it serviced
>>66169777
>12" radius on deluxe basses

Look, why don't you watch tutorials, do the reading, and then decide? It makes no sense to decide before doing the most basic research.
