Not that different man. If your guitars are properly set up and their necks are all fine, you wont notice the difference besides the obvious fact its a different guitar.
This is my chinkplank, the top is at least a veneer because it has a lot of figuring, and theres a thick maple top on it as well. It goes for 300U$ usually. And when i tested against a epiphone on the store, it sounded better and played a lot better.

An anime thread... I welcome it. It's a little late but I feel motivated to practice now.
Thanks OP

I intonated the strat rip off for the first time in 15 years. It now plays much better generally, but its still really light and hollow sounding, even when put through distortion and a minibrute. I know most of those issues can be fixed with proper levels, pedals, and better playing. I'm just trying to justify the purchase I shouldn't make.

Its light because its single coil. Single coil wont sound like humbucker unless you're a magician. Try looking localy for the weebguitar you want and go see it, if you like it you'll save a bunch of money you dont want to spend.

I think there's something wrong with my fuzz pedal. I can't get the level of fuzz out of it that I see in demos.

fuzz goes after the overdrive pedal.

it was still exactly what i wanted, and i got an ok deal on it
the money it cost to get it cleaned/setup was less than the pain in the ass that is mailing a guitar

the issue is the guy described it wrong, and used pictures that werent his, and on top of that, they have a star based rating system that they dont even allow you to use

What does that have to do with my problem?

have you tried turning the knobs

No. That never fucking occurred to me

Have you tried using it to mask shitty playing like most fuzz users? That's where most of the fuzz comes from. Tone is in the fingers and all.

Why did you bought something without ever testing it out man?

A used guitar from a reputable (read: not a pawn shop) shop will probably already be set up, except for the truss rod which might need adjusted a day after you take it home depending on the air in your house, and be a much better guitar for your money.

used mexican teles can be had for less than half of what you paid. and you can play them to see if you like them first. cancel that order ASAP and go to a store and try out some guitars that don't cost as much as a 1997 toyota corolla.

Interest in very technical playing often goes hand in hand with a lack of taste in the same way that music schools shit out soulless musicians like adam neely. They don't have feel for good music, only theory.

I really love my 1987x, but as my only amp, I kinda want another amp that can do cleans. I was looking into the Fender Bassman, but realise I could just aswell go for the JTM45. Would having both be a good pairing as they share a lot of characteristics, or would it just be redundant?

I don't play dadbuttrock btw

The fuck I didn't know you could buy those. Where did you get it?

Neither of those amps are especially clean at typical live volumes, better off looking at something like a Twin (Showman if it needs to be a head), bigger Ampegs like the V4 or Hiwatt-inspired things.

I don't really like crystal clean max headroom at high volumes though, although I like ampeg and hiwatt. I don't have a problem with sacrificing volume for cleaning up the amp as it can make songs more dynamic. The problem is the 1987x doesn't really sound good when cleaned up, just kinda brittle, while the bassman/jtm45 doesn't (as much). The question is just if the jtm45 and 1987x sound different enough to be worth having both. Thanks for the reply though

Agree.
That's why I got Lace sensor duallys.

But hey Samuel is the worst poster because he doesn't give advice!

Maybe your pickup has lower output.

It didn't happen because of the quality the part. In fact, Sam's tailpiece is a Gotoh. That shit happened because he had removed the stock bushings then found the replacement ones are thinner and don't fit without some woodwork and then put the stock ones back but apparently they got loose.

They don't

I like Adam Neely, he played the same lick for 8 hours live.

Just lower your gain knob wtf it's not even a metal amp
Get some fender blackface for cleans if you're a fag

I don't think so
But the clean sound when you lower the guitar's volume knob is just beautiful user.

How did you get the gig

Redundant. The 1987x is basically a JTM45 with a SS rectifier. It doesn’t have gorgeous cleans.
For a great clean tone, look at a vintage-type Fender like a Twin or Super Reverb. If you want to get actual old stuff, you can pick up any number of vintage stuff with great cleans: Fenders like the Twin and Super yes, but also less collectible models like a Bandmaster, Pro Reverb, or Vibrolux; a Music Man HD135; a vintage Sunn like a G100 or Sceptre; or even SS gems like a Lab series L5 or Roland JC-120.

Just call me R~ for short.

Coming from someone that tried learning guitar with Rocksmith, it's garbage for actually learning.

It does a very bad job of explaining anything to you, it just throws harder and harder things at you without actually telling you why you are doing the things you do. It can easily become frustrating because the game isn't that good at estimating your skill level. Feels like it either is way too easy, or it hits you with the 100 difficulty and throws a ton of new things at you at once.
Some of the minigames are alright for just basic practice, like string skip saloon for instance. And it can be fun just mindlessly playing the game, but it didn't really teach me anything and actually caused me to stop playing guitar altogether due to how frustrating it was.

Good evening…
I’ve got to wonder what in the world is wrong with me??!! I just do not understand what you are talking about regarding “degrees of dispersion.” I know I’m not stupid but I just can’t get it. “90×45” or “80×60” ? Off axis? On axis? Maybe I’m just two old… although I was NEVER good at math except for basic stuff. I ran a multi million $$$ business successfully (General Motors Dealerships) but all I had to know how to do is add, subtract, divide, multiply etc. I did not take high math in high school, and I only took business classes in college. Maybe it’s my age; 73. Regardless I love music and enjoy my various should systems so I really wish I could figure this stuff out so I can convert my home theater to to an ATMOS .4. correctly. Maybe I’m dreaming but I’ll keep reading and who knows, maybe a light bulb will eliminate eventually! Maybe I should find a 9 or 10 year old kid to explain it to me…. but in the meantime I guess I’ll just install 4 speakers in the ceiling, upgrade my Onkyo 5.1 receiver to a 9 channel .4 and see what it sounds like. The new Onkyo flagship looks pretty nice according to a recent A/V magazine I subscribe to.

Fender Special Run. Usually put together from whatever parts they had. Ash/tortoise shell was popular for FSRs, thought they had usually looked better.

I had assumed anything that looks that bad would be made in small batches :^)

How does one color match maple and ash without tinting something?

I'm genuinely laughing at this, Idk why

Why wouldnt they tint them? Too cheap? I guess that stuff's reserved for for more money anymore.

Because of you tint it, then it's not natural finish anymore. Are you seriously that thick?

"Natural" looks like garbage, which is why actual 70s starts were tinted, genius. The look they're trying to ape, yet are too cheap to accomplish, was tinted.

No they weren't. They aged with time. You'd be dangerous if you knew half of what you think you do.

Hmm, yeah I can see that, it doesn't tell you much by way of music theory. I've found that slowing down to 80% and manually going up stepwise in speed and difficulty makes the transitions manageable. The auto difficulty can definitely dump shit on you.

>70s strats aged with time

Probably around $5k

My fingers have deep indents in them. I realize it's part of the process, but fuck it hurts. And all I get as a reward is hearing myself play a chord shittily. I just keep telling myself that a couple months from now, it will all be worth it.

They have production models that cost that. A full custom is going to be way more.

I started with guitar for a while because I thought it'd be good to do that before making the jump to bass, which is what I wanted to do all along. So much finger pain that I could have avoided...

I guess today's not the day

has anyone here ever gotten an annoying bussing sound on only one string in particular? I have gibson sg, is it possible for the neck to be warped in such a way that the higher strings are messed with more so than the other? Maybe i need a refret?

How do I reduce string impact noise? I'm trying to make something sound really soft but I still hear the pick/fingers hitting the strings.
Using Amplitube

high fret

maybe the nut slot is too deep for that particular string

traditional two-point bridges are terrible in this regard. Others, too, but this one also.

is there a crack for amplitube 4 yet? all i find on usenet and torrents is v3

switching from roundwound strings to flatwounds almost completely eliminates all string noise, there's a reason why jazz guys love em

i bet they feel like blades to the fingers huh? are they only for jazz?

Yes, specifically around the 12th fret high E. Anything between the 12th frett and the 17th frett sound absurdly buzzy and retarded.

is that so? so would a refret even help?

you can try a combination of EQ and compression, particularly on the attack

I believe the guitar luthier in my area is gonna tell me it will regardless of whether it does or doesnt.

I think you misquoted someone there

Well shit I only have one guitar

IK.Multimedia.AmpliTube.4.Complete.v4.0.3.Incl.Keygen-R2R

they're just strings, you can use them for anything where you want to avoid string noise. They're probably not great for situations where you wanna do big bends because they're a bit stiff compared to rounds, tho

A complete refret seems like overkill, they just need some attention payed to leveling maybe.

You could always try raising the side of the bridge that has the buzzing string until it stops, and possibly modify the other saddles to sit lower if needed.

go see a therapist, user

very cool. I shall try them out, something fresh :)

maybe i misinterpreted. upon looking at the area surrounding the those particular frets they all look the same. A video i watched said to try and slide a very thin piece of paper under the edges of the frets surrounding the area that seems to cause the buzz. So i cleaned the area as best i could and tried sliding a cigarette rolling paper into the space and it didnt go in. So it seems the frets arent popping out. (they arent visibly standing out either)

great idea user i will give that a try (raise that side of the bridge)

They're also not as bright as roundwounds and have a different timbre in general IMO

unless you can actually make use of all the strings (spoiler alert: unless your last name happens to be Vai or Abasi, you probably can't) you'll look like a huge tard.
if you are in fact able to make use of all the strings, you'll look like a tryhard autist.
The only way I can see a 7+ string guitar being played in a way that isn't exceptionally cringey is if you are seriously good at self-accompaniment, which judging by the pic, you just want a new toy to help prop up your extremely fragile shred head ego, and thus, are not.

You don't need to be an amazing guitarist to use a 7-string any more than a 6-string. Just look at Stephen Carpenter for example. It's literally the same instrument with 5 lower notes

>which judging by the pic, you just want a new toy to help prop up your extremely fragile shred head ego, and thus, are not.

How the fuck did you pull that out of your ass from a pic of a guitar. Holy shit you're retarded.

lol stephen carpenter can't play for shit

Just do lots of bends to the point where you're just shy of getting blisters. Keep at it and don't overdo it and you'll have thick callouses in a couple of days. And then you're set.

Then you might also consider getting this.

>fragile ego is wounded, as was foretold
Oh me, oh my, whoever could have seen this coming?
You want 5 measly lower notes? why not just detune a 6 string?
Is stepping on the bassist's toes really that necessary anyways?
>how the fuck did you pull that out of your ass?
I want you to take a good long look at the guitar. Just look at it.

Guy who bends a ton of strings here. If I go too long without playing and lose my callouses, it's best for me to play every OTHER day at first to build the callouses back up. If you bend a lot and play every day without first building up callouses you'll tend to tear them apart before they get really strong; playing every OTHER day at first prevents them from tearing up and lets them get real hard and strong and thick.

Still not worth an extra 5k. Add $500 for a flame maple top, and you’re at 5.5k
Bottom line is you’re still nowhere near 10k, even ordering from Gibson.

>stephen carpenter can't play
This. The only album Deftones ever released that mattered was White Pony where Carpenter had almost nothing to do with the writing process and what little writing he did contribute was written and recorded on a six string.

Could also be that your bridge is a little lower on the treble side than it should be.
Try raising up the treble side bridge thumbwheel 1/4 turn at a time and retune. It shouldn’t take very much.

Impedance mismatch.
Guitar is an unbalanced, high-impedance signal source.
Your Mixer requires a balanced, low-impedance signal.
To get your guitar to play nice with your mixer, you need a Direct Box of some sort. It’s a common issue, and they’re around for not too much cash from a number of equipment makers.

because DI cuts out the amp, cab, speakers, and room from the equation.

Not that user, but I'm new too (only been playing bass for 6 weeks) and I'm not sure how to focus practice. For the first three weeks I followed a youtube playlist and literally ground out major scales and arpeggios in different modes, but then I got Rocksmith and actually learning songs is fun as shit, and I think those first weeks helped that a lot. Are there any rules of thumb for what mix to do? Like maybe warm up with scales and shit for 5-10 minutes then go to songs

Attenuator recommendations?

I was thinking of just future proofing myself and shillling out for the ox box. That way If I had ANY inclination to record I'd be set.

Both boring as fuck. Noodling without structure and real melody.

They also come in nicer colours with baked maple necks. I don't really know anything about baked maple though. I feel like I wouldn't like then purely because I love maple necks and fretboards and I'm guessing the baking process changes a lot.

Attached: Screenshot_2019-02-26 Harley Benton Fusion-II HSH Roasted FBLB.png (1249x824, 641K)

At least the new logo isn't as awful.
I mean, surely they could design a nice looking product if they really wanted to sell it, right?

baking maple changes the colour to something like rosewood, it still feels like unvarnished maple.

So in other words, it's not worth the extra 100 euros?

not if you prefer regular blond maple anyway.

I think you quoted wrong user, what you meant to quote was Roasted maple makes the neck theoretically harder. Due less water on the wood, but would also make it more fragile. But i doubt it makes a huge difference besides looks on the end of the day. Its just a meme to cost more i guess.
And that color looks much better. Though missing the matching headstock.

Attached: first_note_8.jpg (3024x4032, 2.26M)

Objectively best vfm guitar out there. Stainless steel frets, baked maple neck are otherwise unavailable under 1200k, and even then it's on another Indonesian guitar.

All that on top of all the tapping, good tremolo etc.

Subjectively, I hate the presence of a maple veneer (just let the plain top show) and the headstock shape, as well as the fact that it's made by Cort, who treat their workers like shit.

I would feel dirty playing that in various ways, but it's still objectively great value.

>I think you quoted wrong user, what you meant to quote was
no I quoted correctly. explain.

Does roman like Chon?

So if the baked maple seems like a bit of a meme. I found this one for 100 quid less. Personally really like the colour and it's going to be a side guitar to my RG550. If I like it I'd consider swapping the bridge out for an EVH and if I hate it I'm sure I could get most of my money back on a resell.
Tbh the stainless steel frets and floyd rose seem worth 300 euro alone

Its a Japanese Fender Thinline Stratocaster, what else you want explained?

Attached: QTWLCdY.jpg (1536x2048, 1.02M)

does that mean it has no effect? because it certainly does

baked maple (sometimes called roseacer) and blackwood tek are being pushed heavily because of the difficulty of obtaining rosewood and ebony (CITES appendix II)

Personally i also prefer regular blond maple, and while blackwood tek looks ugly as fug, its pretty nice to play on. looks a lot nicer with some oil on it.
Time will tell how durable it is.

You are retarded, baked maple is generally a costly option, and isn't used as an alternative to blackwoods used for fretboards, because it looks absolutely nothing like traditional rosewood, as opposed to all the other woods used to replace rosewood (jatoba, ebony, indian laurel and artificial/processed woods).

It just looks better and offers some more tuning stability.

Fixed for you. Don't need to thank.

What do you do when you feel stuck?
I've been playing for 8 years and i'm only at intermediate level because i've only been learning by playing songs i liked. So pretty much the hardest shit i can play would be something like Jonny Greenwoods part in Knvies Out, that kind of thing.

I actually don't know how to improve anymore.
I've been doing scales with increasing the tempo but that kind of didn't work. My biggest problem is that i literally can't play with a pick. I tried getting used to it multiple times but it just ends up slipping out of my hand or getting into weird positions. I'm so used to using my fingers aaargh

Anyone got some tips on getting that growling kind of bass tone that sounds good for slapping and finger style that Tetsuo Sakurai has in this song?
