Ay I'm a big classical fan, though I only know gymnopedie and romanza. I love how normally piano songs translate onto a classical guitar.
>>25292994
I play my own stuff, mostly. I enjoy it more than playing other music.

Don't buy into the gear jewing.
A reliable analog amp with sufficient volume, be it ss or tube (prefer the former - lighter to carry), fx-processor for tuner, wah, and chorus (sorted in importance), and two guitars is all you need.
One could use the fx processor most of the time and plug into pa but I personally dislike the weird feel they have to the gain. Just doesn't feel right.
>>25294593
Nigger please all I have is a shitty starter pack, don't tell me to buy two guitars and a shitton of pedals when I don't even have a proper amp to speak of.

Yeah seriously don't let the gear kikes get to you.
Get a guitar from Rondo Music, an amp from Carvin or Bugera, and use Joyo or Mooer for any pedals you might need.
>>25294905
6505+ 112 combo is the best all around starter amp i could think of
>>25294741
>getting jewed into buying from brands like Peavey, Mesa, Ibanez, and EMG
I bet you got them from guitar center or musicians friend as well, you fucking kike slave
>>25294905
>inb4 consumer whores collectorfags talk about boutique shit
My only complaint with the bugera is the tubes they ship with will probably fail in the first 24 hours forcing you to lug the amp back to the shop to get them replaced. And the fact that I bought a dual reverb clone of all the amps I could.

story of my fucking life right there.
>>25294905
Rondo Music guitars need a lot of work before being decent, not mentioning there's absolutely no customer support if you're outside of the US, Bugera is basically having something that sounds acceptable while having the risk of it failing or even catching fire if it's an old one, and Joyo/Mooer pedals are usually brittle or suck your tone out. If you want cheap gear, just buy used, don't buy chink shit.
>>25294942
The 112 is made in china, the 212 was made in USA and usually sells for the same price.
>>25294947
>le common brands are le bad
my axe was made in the fuji factory faggot, its solid shit. peavey is a damned good company that puts out good products again and again.
mesa's speaker cabs are unmatched in the same price range
EMG completely exploded through the 90s and now every rockstar and his brother uses them, that cant be for a reason can it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLpyND2QQOE
Trying to play a bit of this bad boy. I can do the first two riff bits but then, as ever, the solo eludes me completely.
My playing is also quite clumsy but hey ho
>>25294959
Yeah thats why Carvin is preferable to Bugera, but Bugera is still really good if you're an extreme poorfag
>>25294942
Meh. You can get a 212 (tube) with the same wattage from Carvin $100.
Or, even better, you could not let yourself fall for the Jewish tube meme and get a 212 ss amp for like $350

>solid state
when you go from solid state to tube, its like going from a 4 inch dick to an 8 inch dick. you cant really go back
>>25294994
Yeah you're right about the US thing. Probably best to go a different route if you aren't in Burgerland. However I do disagree with you about Rondo guitars being shit out of the box. Most guitars that are shipped straight from the factory usually require the standard set up like truss rod and saddle tweaking, so that doesn't count.
>>25295059
Tubes preamp with SS poweramp is the most based config though
>>25294994
the 212s are no longer in production. they're getting snatched up pretty quick i thought, and the maintenance on them is going to be a thing because they're so old
>>25294315
mmm
enjoyed this, thanks anon
>>25294998
>>25295059
I really feel bad for you guys. Falling for ridiculous kike memes. Most common brands were putting out really solid gear back in the day, but now they've gotten lazy and coast on brand recognition while putting out products that are gradually lower in quality then the previous years models. Not to mention the fact that the big box stores only stock the big brands, so most people aren't even aware of the other options.
>>25295059
That's not true. Fags who believe that usually jump from small chip amp to >mom get me a mesa
Not even taking into account skill growth.
>>25291973
Anyone else here /upright bass/ here?
>>25294994
Also there's literally nothing wrong with Joyo and Mooer. Yeah there are a few lemons but if you do your research you'll realize that a lot of their pedals are just exact clones of popular pedals that are waaay more expensive than they should be.

>tfw fell for the ibanez meme few years ago and bought MiJ Prestige
Never again. Stupid chinkpotmetal floyd rose and mudfest pickups. Even the fretwork was not much better than the squier bullet it replaced. Getting cucked out of my money for that black turd with "fades away if you look at it" dark chrome covering every metal part still feels disgraceful.
i just ordered a Epiphone Les Paul Special II Sunburst starter pack and Rocksmith 2014.
i also put JustinGuitar as my homepage.
i can't wait until the package arrives.

post a pic of your upright bass. I'm taking a picture of mine right now
How long you been playing? what genres do you use it for? do you mainly do pizz, arco, or both?
>>25295143
well when i sold my little solid state peavey combo and got my halfstack with mesa cab, it was a religious experience, that fist open power chord i played reverberated through my whole body and nearly made me orgasm from the complexity, depth and power of the tone
i started working a lot more and pretty much stopped playing for a while, now im getting back into it and i have one of the sickest rigs to play on. feels good man.

Yep. I have two Ibanez Bass Workshop basses, they were alright when I bought them, but for the price they're extremely underwhelming. They were both around $900-$1000 and an extreme waste of money. My girlfriend has a $150 Daisy Rock guitar that I enjoy playing more than these
>>25295196
I've been playing for six years (18 yo hs senior), pretty even mix of jazz and classical.I've been workin on Nanny's concerto in g major that he attributed to Dragonetti for a while. How about you?
>>25295162
Here's muh bass. It's a plywood Shen
>>25295376
ayy is that an sb80?
>>25295366
Nice. I love that concerto. I replied to your other post with a pic of my bass.
I played classical in HS now I mainly just focus on electric. I play finger style stuff occasionally though
>>25295396
Yeah! It's an SB88, which is identical to the SB80 in every way except for the finish. SB80 is lacquer and the SB88 is oil
>>25295345
The 6 string has horrible fret buzz issues. Several frets are waaay higher than the others. Also the electronics are shit. Every single pot is scratchy and there is a horrible hiss that I cannot eliminate. For $1000 this instrument is a fucking joke.
Ibanez. Not even once.
>>25295428

At this point you're supposed to return the instrument, or even try it before hand. How hard is that faggot
>>25295569
Ordered it off Reverb fuck face
The electronics were fine for the first few weeks, and I didn't notice the fret issues until I tried to lower the action.
Fuck off Ibanez fan boy. If you can't accept that your beloved (shitty) brand is absolute garbage than maybe this isn't the place for you

I really do not like them to be honest, for reasons I've explained elsewhere itt.
I have a really sweet Violin Bass (pic related) on the way in the mail, and soon I'm going to try and cop a good ole J-Bass. I started on one and it was lovely and I'd really like to get one again soon.
What amps and pedals do u use?
>>25295629
It's not about being a fanboy, it's about not being a retard, who spends a thousand bucks on an instrument without even trying it ?
>>25295629
If you weren't retarded you would have read my other posts to see that I am complaining because a proper set up revealed the flaws in the fretwork.
So many manufactures ship out instruments with mile-high action to cover up shoddy fretwork.
>>25295687
I had played one previously and thought it was alright. I shouldn't have assumed that it would be fine with lower action, however.
>>25295520
Same experience with the fretwork. I expected it'd be a lot better for those money.
>squier setup nicely with 1.5mm at 17th fret action
>buy afformentioned ibanez - rg1570z

I can agree with this.
I bought an American deluxe strat a month ago and I've only tuned it once. The thing just refuses to go out of tune; considering my epi SG had to be retuned every five minutes I'm in awe.
>>25296586
Noice. I like this.

if i hadnt put down guitar i'd be good and not just a beginner yet again.
>>25296516
I liked the Hofner Ignition well enough when I played it in the store. It's what made me decide to buy the Douglas bass. It should be here in 3-4 days. If you're really curious about it I'll probably make a post in the gear thread on /r/bass and in the /gg/ thread on /mu/ when it gets here
