/gg/ Parker Fly edition

A shitton of gain + single coils in a noisy environment is a recipe for disaster. That and humbuckers have more mids and sound more focused which just works well for metal, the piercing highs and airyness from single coils is just not as desirable. Of course you can make everything work somehow, knock yourself out and play deathmetal on a jazzbox, but there is a reason why people gravitate towards certain pickups and guitars for certain genres.

This but I pay 150-400 bucks for a set of strings on upright bass.

Yes.

Each knob has a push pull. There's a YouTube video on it

Tell me why I shouldn't get a 5 string bass instead of a 4 string.

My excuse is that I might be downtuning often, and that it'll force me to get good at muting.

my 5 string feels like it weighs twice as much as my 4 string. also most of the music I like is in D-E standard so the low B is mostly useless to me, it is nice to have though.

Get a 6 string like i am

I'd always wanted a 5-string but I quit playing bass years ago. When I decided to pick it back up I ordered a used 5-string Ibanez off GC.
Turns out I fucking hate the neck profile, it's too wide. I can't move around like I'm used to.

I'm mainly a guitarist, and will probably only get one bass, unless I really get into it.
Does your "nice to have" mean it'll be useful in some way?

I thought about it, but I can't find any cheap, 6-string, passive, PJ-style basses, and they'll probably be heavy as fuck.

>force me to get good at muting
If you're not good at muting then you are quite literally worthless as a bassist. I'm not even joking. So it really doesn't matter whether you use a 4 or 5 string in that regard. Just get a 5er if the music you play calls for it or if you just want one. The low B string can literally become a thumbrest for you 95% of the time, but if you just need to hit a low D or C at some point it's nice to have it there without needing to downtune. Also, don't underestimate the utility of having that extra string. Not having to play the open E string but rather playing it on the 5th fret is great. And just having the option of the darker timbre on the low B string if the song calls for it.

the minimal needs of american rock music should not be mistaken for a standard

rather they should be seen as ridiculous things we should be eager to move past

I played on a Jazz bass for a little while and I thought the neck was kinda thin, so I might be fine.

Yes, but that's what practice is for.
As for the latter part, that is my other reason to get a 5-string.

Thank you lads, you've been most helpful today.

Actually, upright basses weren't standardised for the longest time. In France they mostly had 3 strings, 4 strings was common, but also more. Especially since the upright bass is an amalgamation between the violin family and the gamba family of instruments. The instrument it is closely related to is actually a bass instrument with 6 strings, sometimes fretted with gut frets, etc. The tuning also wasn't standardised and neither was the fingerboard length. Classical musicians nowadays have 3 octaves+ at their disposal per string when they go up to thumb position.

So yeah, don't talk shit about a subject you have no clue about.

Not to mention that on many orchestral basses you will find a C-extension, or sometimes even a B-extension on the lowest string. Which literally serves the same purpose as the low B string. And, you know, 5 string upright basses are a thing. Either with an additional high string for soloists or with, who would have thought, a low B string.

Why is your guitar tuned down half a step and why would you use a capo to play a g chord? Just tune your guitar to E-standard, I understand why your teacher is annoyed and/or confused.

4-string has less range. That's it. I don't know why people don't just use some sort of shifted tuning where they buy a 5-string pack & drop the G. It'd be so modern.

The cleans are worse on every tube amp I've played except for some old box labeled fender that had barely any gain and would probably need three tube screamers to sound even a little metal.

Most genres don't need that kind of range, and you will have to deal with playing an unnecessarily big neck as a result.

It sounds better when I play with the nicer tension. I like loosened flatwounds of a heavy gauge. My teacher is 14 so he's kind of dumb but his older sis hits on me.

Not him, but a lot of people tune a half step down. You use the cape to bring it up to E.

If you're testing this with a metal guitar, roll your volume knob back a little. You're probably using high-output pups.
My Schecter sounds distorted through every clean channel I try, tube or SS. If I plug my old Kapa in, it's crystal. The difference is the output range of the pups.

I was doing that and using coil splitting.

SS amps just have cleaner cleans.

>can't play guitar, gets teacher
>ignores teacher
you're going far, lad.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Yo for funsies I like to mix up my guit output & amp pre's & my different gain stages until I can get the resonant frequencies to be lyrical to my ears. I mean, sure there is a type of patterned thought that would have played out different than what you're asking, but in short, clean is a rather difficult term to define when you are using high-out pups.

Keep in mind, the guitar is the passive component. The boosts employed do this to create that tube saturation. Think old school first.

In the end I have an acoustic guitar for cleans, don't really use cleans anyways, and the fewer pedals I have the happier I am.

Try it. Take out all your pedals exception for shit like reverb. Heaven.

You're tinting nitro? I wouldn't want to mess with spraying that stuff in the first place. There are other great finishes.

>the chord is difficult to play
That's why you practice. There's no point in paying a teacher if you don't want to learn, you play stuff that's difficjlt for you so that it becomes easy.

Not him but with an organic vapor half mask and proper ventilation it's safe enough.

I'm sure it's fine, especially if you're only spraying ten or less guitars in your lifetime.

It's the extra set up materials, nitro sucks with cold, and there are simple finishes.

I'm just not into spraying 20 coats and sanding and buffing over 6 weeks for one instrument. zimnicki.com/applying-the-lacquer-finish/

Is it just me or does the New Gibson lineup cost more than the older ones?
I got a brand new studio for 1600 a year ago, 2018 sg jr. Used to cost 1100 but these 50s and 60s standard Les Pauls cost as much as later year Customs

Nitro is the easiest to repair, though. And those 2 week idiots are more about mojo than anything.

Hendrix was exalted to the skies by an "oh-so-countercultural" clique that yearned for their hippy saviour, regardless of his actual musical ability. In fact, they were fascinated by shocking noisy tricks and stage gimmicks that he borrowed from free jazz avant-gardists of the time, not by his compositions or musicmanship. Hendrix the myth filled a niche of an anti-establishment ideal in belief system of your average dope head of the early 70's. Hendrix the man was a decent pop musician at his best, with a natural talent for improvisation and a distinctive flair for showmanship. Don't tell me about Hendrix's " guitar innovations", nobody gives a damn about fuzz pedals and feedback in our time, nobody copies his "technique" (or rather his deliberate disregard of any consistent technique). Advanced chord shapes/voicing? But jazz players did them in a more convincing and complex manner. Plus, he didn't even accomplish most of what he said he will because he died.
All the idolatry didn't go unnoticed by wheeler-dealers of the music industry. And voila - they tell us we've got to worship black Apollo with a (Strat®) guitar now. They teamed up with old rock journalists to make guitar-playing teenagers' lives miserable. The kids are obliged and conditioned to enjoy a "profoundness" of his rusty blues-rock anthems and silly ballads as if they were a religious revelation.

The early Beatles would always record "the Ringo song" when there was only a few minutes left paid for in the studio, because they knew he'd always nail the vocal take on the first try.

>i gotta get a stay trem and mastery bridge
nah you don't have to, the only problem with jazzmasters are the saddles because the strings can pop out of the grooves pretty easily, just replace them with mustang saddles if you have that problem
the other thing is a buzzstop but it changes the tone
if you got a set one will probably work, it's kinda shit that there isn't a universal size, even my jazzmaster and tele use different sizes...

I've done the majority of my learning and performing on a 5-string, as it was simply the highest quality bass I had when I started. As a general rule I feel a lot more comfortable on it even with the extra string, but going back and forth between 5 and 4-string isn't too difficult. The one thing that gets tricky is plucking position/technique on the low E string without a B string to rest or pivot from. Personally, I'd go with a 5-string if you have the means- you'll have the B string if you want to use it, but you don't have to either. Better to have than have not.

Why the fuck do everyone think you're a spic just because you own an APX?
No. I'm not a spic. No, I don't play booty shake samba shite.

lmao that wear is so contrived, you know you tried really hard to chip it, don't even front little nigga.

Dominicans love that series of guitar. Also keep the racism in /pol/.

Keep your stereotypes elsewhere, faggot.

I'm thinking about getting the J Mascis JM and giving the body a red metallic red finish because I don't like gold on white. Would this look good to you?

hoe don't do it
that's the most aesthetic colour way outside of pure mustard yellow

Why not just change the pickguard?

I think the pickguard looks fine I'm just not a fan of white bodies tbqh

OK, then why not just get a regular JM in another color?

useless fuck

price
I really like the J Mascis JM and it's very cost efficient for it's quality compared to other Squiers

It was oirignally dean's thing

Speaking of, for all of Japan's inventions have they ever bothered to make an original guitar shape or are they pretty deep into just copying western culture since the guitar was never their instrument anyways

bought one of the new fender acoustics and hated it. sold it, bought an epiphone hummingbird. SO MUCH BETTER. Do not buy a fender acoustic.

I'm sure they've made their share of unique shit for the visual kei genre.
But production models? Nope. It's pretty much stuck at refining what the west invented.

Now keep in mind, it's very nice refining.

Would anyone happen to know how what guitar and what type of pedals I might need to use to achieve this sound? One of the best songs I’ve ever heard, personally speaking, and I’d really like to recreate that sound when I switch to an electric guitar

I know exactly what you need but I'm conflicted about telling you what it is because this hipster shit sucks and I feel like if I help you then there'd be one more shitty song like this out in the either and there's enough shit music to have to sift through as it is.

What will you give me to make it worth my while?

Technically that's an offset

Attached: CPX600_black_a_0001-768x1925.jpg (768x1925, 107K)

It's not

And the popularity of offsets has to do with the uneven waist cut making room for a girl's tits if it's played with the guitar resting on the right leg. Yes, really. Originally the idea was it was for jazz guys who leaned way the fuck over but it found a new home.

600 is the new and cheaper 500 I think.

redpill me on archtops

but on a similar note, how do I stop leaning so damn much when I play sitting? its so damn comfortable with my Jag but I imagine it's not good for my spine

Ain't it the truth

Dean melded a V with an Explorer

They cut a notch out of an Explorer.
That's really all they did.

No, because the bottom leg is longer

Well, I was thinking of the random star bullshit that was posted in this thread, not that dimebag gimp guitar.

Dean doesn't make a star like that though. They made that one-off for Trey or whoever, but that's it.

This. The "star" shape is Eddie's mutilated Destroyer put into production. This is where the design came from, a half-assed chopped up asian Gibson Explorer copy.

It's just shitty Gibson knock off garbage.

Yeah, originally repainted white made out of Korina according to Eddie and played all the rhythm parts on the first VH record.

Funny story: he says it ruined to tone of the guitar when he took the chunk out from behind the bridge. He said he thought he had damaged the pickup somehow because the sound difference was so extreme. He said he took it to Seymour Duncan and asked him to fix it and Seymour told him nothing was wrong with the pickup, that the area around the bridge needed to be replaced (hopefully with the same chunk Eddie had taken off).

But when he got back home he realized he had already thrown it in the trash and it was gone.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

The left cant meme

Meh. Tom Morello says the same thing happened when he had his "arm the homeless" guitar routed for a Floyd. He said "that must have been where all the tone was because it sucked it right out" and that the guitar was completely ruined but he couldn't afford another one at the time so he made due with it.

But he and Eddie had music to write & shows to play, no one would really expect /gg/ to understand.

Would anyone notice over his effect wankery anyway?

Are you set on a steel string? They're for fags. Check out classical guitar instead.

If you're really looking to fag it up then go for a yamaha instead.

Hes obviously a shit player that resorts to smoke and mirror gimmicks

Yamaha makes classical guitars too tho

You can pretend his creative approach to music (and his solos in particular) isn't sound but the results easily refute your armchair quarterbacking sour grapes.

its an S2, im only semi cheap. got it for $1230

based

it really depends on what style of music you're playing as most genres don't require a 5th string most of the time but having a 5 string is more efficient in getting across the fret board rather than having to go all the way down the neck to get to lower notes. If you are planning on getting a 5 string because you want the lower extended range without having to down tune it often, but keep in mind that the muting techniques on a 5 string bass are different than a 4 string bass and you're just gonna have to get used to that over time and practice it deliberately.

Naw, I was just hoping to make some experimental doom metal or a folk album sorta like bibio. Call it hipster indie shit if you want, but I feel like the tone of the guitar has high potential. Help a brotha out.

Just got a 7 string, what songs should I learn on it, I can do This Mortal Coil and Heartwork by Carcass and a few Devin Townsend/SYL songs but that's about it. I'm not necessarily looking for super basic stuff, but I definitely ain't no John Petrucci

Your guitar has one too many strings.

So is gibson gonna give us a choice in necks? I keep hearing they all have slim taper, but its so flat it hurts my hand on the model I own

Epiphone? Its not the same slim taper as that shit. Gibson profile is different. If not just buy a 50s version, its way comfier anyway

I have a Gibson 2018 studio LP tobacco burst with mahogany slim taper neck, its so fucking flat
I really hope the new ones arent like that, i thought the original 50s and 60s were more baseball bat

d string

I love mine, wish i had money to buy a Keith Merrow MK2.

New thread

Oh ok, yea a lot of guys like that neck for some reason. Not for me either, makes it too much like an SG. I like the 50s profile on the Traditional or older Standard models. Pic related shows the difference which is quite noticeable when you play each one

You can get tons of guitar tones with that black switching machine.

You get tons of effects with a pedal board.

I have that one too, i love it, and is more beautiful then what i expected.

I own this exact guitar, except the right-hand model.
