how's the bass guitar eq'd?
instaud.io
Does anyone own this?
Do you think it you would be good for bass and guitar? I like that it has a large built in EQ
sweetwater.com
Guitar sommeliers universally declare that Gibson makes the finest guitars.
What is your favorite guitar solo?
>I like that it has a large built in EQ
Seriously, all amps should have like a 10 band graphic EQ or even a parametric EQ.

Gibsons are overrated shitplanks that are only popular because some famous people in the mid 20th century used them
Fender makes superior guitars over all and every other custom/boutique shop worth its salt just makes fender clones and derivatives for a reason
Well would you look at that, an anime thread.
Now I'm motivated to have a laidback, late night practice session.
Thanks OP
Your favorite solo sounds like something I would hear in an elevator or in CVS.
The les paul is so much "the TV guitar" that it even shows up in anime. It's because it looks like a traditional acoustic instead of an edgy rock and roll axe.
If a strat is an AR-15 a gibson is a mini-14, people just don't think it's threatening or edgy so they like it more even if the strat is better and cheaper.
>you've got your dream gig
>you've replaced a legend in a major label act

Fingerboard isn't that cringy because there are fretless basses.
dude I love fingerboards
I have Dimarzio Evolution 7 pickups in the bridge position of my 7 string. As time has gone on ,they seem to become noisier and noisier, and now it's just too much. What do you guys think the cause of this could be? I had the electronics checked when I had it set up like 6 months ago, guys said it was fine. Even with really low gain I still get a lot of noise. Any ideas, friends?
fretless board
Maybe:
1. A ground wire is coming loose somewhere in the guitar.
2. The wax potting has melted away (this actually happened to me with a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates).
3. The noise is actually coming from somewhere else in the signal chain.
How do I go about checking the first 2? I've been going through signal chain and trying to remove the noise with things like a grounded power strip. I'll get a ground loop reduction thingee to put into the wall later on.
What do you do about wax potting melting away? Do you have to buy another or re-solder?
1. Look in the control cavity for the grounding wire and see if it is loose. Touch stuff inside the control cavity while the guitar is plugged in and see if touching something makes it go away.
2. I thought the pickup needed to be repotted because it felt oily. And I was living in a very humid apartment at the time. I repotted the pickup using a deep fat fryer I found at a thrift store.

Why do you come to this website?
There's no omph to it
looking for drum threads but there never are any.
You can make one and we will come.
This is the worst general on Yea Forums. Even worse than KPOP. Literally just never ending gear worship. Everything that’s terrible about guitarists distilled into one horrible thread after another.
Why are you so mean? If you don't like it, just filter it out.
Gear is half the fun.
What do flutists talk about when they're not practicing? No, they don't practice more instead. If they did there would be fewer godawful flutists in the world. They talk about flower arrangement or something. That's just how people be.
God help you if you ever stumble upon a drum general.
Thank you. I'll admit that I don't feel confident messing with the pots at all. I can check the wire at least, hopefully without taking off my strings and such? In any case I can probably get the guys that checked my electronics to help.
that was the cheapest bait in the shop and you guppies gulped it right up

I have a trash charvel I put some custom pickups a friend made for me and presto, it sounds great.
the more i listen to guitar, the more it sounds like shit
the more i listen to bass, the more enjoyable and in depth it becomes
Just to clarify my friend is a guy named Seymour Duncan, you've probably never heard of him but he makes some great sounding pickups.
I’m sure you’ll figure it out soon enough, buddy, just don’t worry about it.

How good are seagull guitars? I like that they're all made in Canada, but how do they compare to some other stuff?
A used one showed up on my local craigslist page, but the model number that the guy shared doesn't bring anything up when I search it. All I can tell is that it is a model that is from either the late 80s or early 90s.
Just get a yammy
What is a yammy?
Omph is omph
is it good now instaud.io
Any particular reason why I should get one over a seagull?

Exceptional qc and probably best bang for buck and probably better resale than the seagull. I have a cheapo yammy from 1979 and it sounds really good.

There's more omph but your cheap pickups are holding it back. There's no low end to them
i hi-passed the lows because it would clash with the kickdrum

right. Well if you think it sounds alright then that's great
I'm looking for an overdrive to slap on after my fuzz I want that Desert Rock tones.
timmy
What kinda strings would you recommend to get a bright summery tone?
ghs boomers bright bronze
Thank you for the speedy reply. My fuzz is hella scooped muff btw and I thought Timmy sounded best going into more midrange focused pedals but I will definitely look into this. Are the LM1458 Timmy's better than JRC4559 chip ones?
yes the pickups arent no-lows shit, wanna hear the clean DI track and get shut up?
but i want it to sound good for you too :)
will post a boosted lows soon. it seems every time i boost the lows it drowns all the other instruments
Not him. Timmys are tone neutral. If you want more mids out of them, that's what the midrange control on your amp is for.
Or, alternately, an EQ pedal.
Anyways, I think the utility range of a tone-neutral overdrive is quite vast. It's such a fucking useful thing to have in so many circumstances.
Sometimes you make me feel really bad, Samuel.

wait, did you EVADE your yesterday's ban?
no you're not nice
my coworker mentioned kaka the other day. he was selling a gibson to an old man and the old man was asking about how he should best maintain the guitar. my coworker said that he squirts out assload after assload of assy shartlogs and rubs them all over the fretboard to get that caked in kaka playability.
he also said that he has a hollowbody at home that he specifically bought in order to hide his ploppy shits in. I'm considering shitting inside of a grocery bag and then cramming the kaka into my output jack.
there are many ways to incorporate smelly kaka into your guitar playing.

this is usually done when the action is way too high, even after lowering the bridge as far as you can
what about adjusting the truss rod? it's seems like a very dramatic procedure

is there a point of buying a large cumbersome amplifier when you can use superb software amps, apart from a slightly more natural touch when recording a real speaker with a real mic that also registers some room ambiance?
the head stock is the most tolerable thing about that abortion.
Yes. Computers are fiddly quiet bullshit, amps just werk.
I think that might be the point, user.

Fun fact: power amplifiers make things louder. Not rare special tube guitar amps. They only can make things dirtier.

>caring about aesthetics
if i tighten the truss rod any further, the neck will bow backwards
4 voice counterpoint bare minimum, if you can't improvise a fugue in 4 voices at any given time you're never going to make it

Somebody help me figure out overdrive pedals. I've been glued to software sims for five years and am only getting back into physical hardware now. Looking for something to trim off some low end on high-gain rhythms (using a VH4 pedal for dirt), besides adding a little volume and more options on upper mids.
I started out trying a Boss SD1 since they're dirt cheap, and it's doing a great classic rock thing with my bridge pickup, but that ain't really what I wanted. Should I be looking at 808/TS9 clones next, or are those similar enough that it's gonna be the same shit? Otherwise I'm gonna look at OCD clones or something like the TC Spark.
>tube amp tone will ALWAYS sound better than digital shit
no it won't, as computer modelling improves, it will be able to handle a full computer model of a physical system like electron tube perfectly well in a matter of years. And those reverb/room/speaker simulations will become incredibly sophisticated pretty soon, since there's incessant digital acoustics experimentation in research facilities.
boss SD1 is shit, a TS9 clone is actually what we used on our album and it fucking ripped. stick with the ibanez tubescreamers, they're industry standard for a reason

Sorry about the late reply user, I just came across Walrus Audio they have some sweet overdrives I'm looking at. I heard the Mayflower was based on the Timmy. It's not on their website any longer so Reverb might be the best source to get it. I actually like their Voyager and Warhorn pedal. Might even get a War Horse for the Ratt Muff sound. Any of you familiar with Walrus pedals?
not true and also i still play better than u shittalker faggot
lmao post vocaroo of you playing then faggot. im drunk as fuck and i gargantuan i'll shit all over you
How long you took off from playing isn't anything to brag about you loser. Stop trying to one up people and start practicing daily
My only options for 808/TS9 clones locally are the EHX East River Drive, the Mini, and the Way Huge Rhino, otherwise I gotta mail order it. I might just grab the EHX one when I return the SD1, and order something else online if that turns out to be garbage.

>Go to the store and play the guitars
Why do people say this to beginners? I'm not the guy above, but what do you think they are going to do? They don't know any chords, they can't play any notes. The only thing they are able to do is to hold it in their hands and go "oh I guess this looks kinda cool?"
It's good to get a feel for the guitar just to see if you like it, but telling someone that doesn't know anything about playing to go and play the guitar is useless.
When I first started playing, I wanted an Ibanez. But, when I when to the store and held it in my hand, it just felt wrong - the neck was too thin. If I had bought a guitar without ever touching one, I would have purchased a Ibanez that would have impaired my enjoyment of playing.
Yes, but that isn't really playing it, you're just holding it, getting a feel for it.
Instead of telling people they need to play the guitar, tell them they should see it in person, hold it, feel it etc, because that's really what the important thing is. Strumming idly on the strings without any direction probably isn't going to help them with a decision.
Because that's how you know the guitar works in the first place.
I'm going to guess you are 14?
How’s your wife’s boyfriend lmfao
Just someone that got the same stupid advice to "play" the guitar, went into a store wondering what the fuck I am supposed to do and if I'm expected to know chords and songs before even owning the instrument.
I ended up leaving the store after a short while because (at the time) it wasn't really obvious to me how important it was that I like the "feel" of the guitar, the looks and all of that. I knew nothing about guitars at the time, and strumming the strings told me absolutely nothing other than "I guess this makes sound".
I eventually went to another store where staff were helpful and were able to give advice and kind of figure out what type of sound/guitar I'm after.
I just think it's important that you instruct new people correctly.
Sam is best in thread he is a great player
>everyone is as dumb as me
ftfy
>Expecting complete beginners to know what you know now
Assume everyone is retarded at the start to avoid confusion.
Just stop posting.
So you agree that you are retarded?
they're just angry teenagers, don't worry about them
Imagine being so autistic that you need feel and play specified for you to have a unique experience playing guitar for the first time
thoughts on this esp guitar I found on kijiji?
It looks cool. Which Seymour Duncan is in the bridge?
What model is this? I wouldn't trust Asian made instruments especially when you can buy American. Radiation is also a concern from a made in Japanese guitar.
