/gg/ Guitar and bass general

You're gonna need at least a hundred watts. Bass doesn't cut through the mix as much

It's 500W,

Then you're fine. Outside of lead bass playing no one cares how a bass sounds

I care though. What do you think of the Orange Crush 100W bass amp?
Glenn Hughes likes them, and I'm a fan of him.

No idea.

but by continually blaming wood, fret counts, pickups, bridge types, and brand for your bad tone and buying a bunch of shit instead of practicing you could become this guy (quoted) instead of this guy (pictured)

Are ESP Grassroots good quality?

the only japan-only ESP worth buying is the based snapper

So I'm a beginner fag(about a few months in) and I'm getting the hang of chord progressions and learning theory for improv and all this bullshit but I'm wondering, how can I improve my stamina in my playing? I can play a few songs in a row with no issues but about 15-20 minutes of playing non stop gives my fretting hand cramps. My guitar is set up properly, strings have good tension, and I'm fairly sure I'm holding it right. How can I strengthen my fingers and last longer?

After playing for about 10 months I’m seriously losing interest since I feel I’ve hit a wall by only being able to practice alone without anyone else. I’ll be moving to another city soon soo have to hold off until then since I don’t want to meet people and immediately say goodbye to them. I think I’m just at a pint where I want to make music with other people right now but I’m alone at the moment. Maybe I can take a break and learn some synthesis and do a Two Feet thing on my own for a bit.

Practice by playing as light as possible. This is something that’ll come with more time, anything else besides practice can hurt yourself. A famous European pianist, I forget his name, had a problem with his hand strength so he tried to train it intensely. He developed crippling tendinitis and never touched a piano again.

Get a Quilter

You're out of the band, Brian. We voted and we all agreed.

youre likely fretting too hard. even little kids have enough finger strength to play guitar properly

For gigging I recommend not buying a combo but a seperate head and cab. So in case you're sharing the backline with other bands you might only need to bring your head.
Get the Fender basshead if you like it. I recommend the Markbass Little Mark III.
For cabs I would start with a 4x10 with 8 Ohm and get another 1x15 8 Ohm afterwards for the full stack. Or just a 6x10 with 4 Ohm should be enough aswell.

this was supposed to help me become a better, faster, more fluid player.

now i just have a guitar with kaka all over it. my dad came into my room while i was noodling and he said "This room... SMELLS LIKE KAKA!!!!!"

I went downstairs to get some cereal and he was talking to his girlfriend about my guitar playing and the fact that there was kaka on my guitar

what do I do? my playing still sucks and my guitar is caked with shit. my ass is really hairy, too, so the shit came out of my ass and got tangled into asshairs making my guitar have stinky kaka asshair pie all over it.

Try not to press so hard on the strings. It's something I struggle with too but just sit with your guitar and try different pressures on the frets with your fingers while playing scales. Start slow and focus on your hands.

How many of you could play this song

I can barely even remember two songs. How do you approach learning the set?

I tried every trick in the book and the only thing that helped me was getting a different neck profile

The bocote Ibanez AZ looks hot, but god damn 1300 smackeroos for an Indonesian made guitbox? I'd pay maybe half that.

Play it again and again and again and again and again and again. Then play it some more. It also helps if you put it together in such a way that you can use mnemonics, i.e. come up with a small story linking songs together. Or maybe sort them alphabetically. Or sort them by key.
That said, I'm having trouble learning my own band's set right now. All the songs in D are in one gigantic clusterfuck and I can't think of any good mnemonics. Afterwards it's all peachy; the last of the songs in D is the only D song where I play a solo, and is followed by the only non-D song where I play another solo. That one is in G. After that comes the only one in F# and that's it.
I'm also too shortsighted to read set lists, no matter how big you write them (unless they're hilariously oversized, as in letters almost as big as my pedalboard).

I think it's
>Intro (D)
>HH (D)
>A (D)
>STLD (D)
>KK (D)
>Blind (D, Solo)
>IR (G, Solo)
>SP (F#)

Maybe I should just print these abbreviations in gigantic letters and crouch down between songs to read that setlist. Doesn't really help that I open most of the songs with just the guitar.

In addition to what the other anons said:
PLAY
MORE
And relax

If you're going to start turdpolishing it, you might aswell invest the money into a proper upgrade. Charvel and Jackson both offer hardtail versions in higher price brackets.

my waifu plays violin i´m also a violinist.

I'd likely end up replacing the pickups on a more expensive guitar as well, unless I was spending 2-3k on one that has them stock. That's WAY more than I'm willing to spend.
Here's what I'll do: I'll order a mid-ranged guitar and see if I like how it feels stock. If I don't, I return it and buy an expensive one. If I do like it, I'll keep it and replace the parts I listed and end up with an instrument that satisfies my needs while saving about 500 €.

never used anything thinner than 13-62

I had lots of fun with it but I play it like a toy, I don't really want to play metal. It was neat to play with all of the harmonic resonance from the actives and the tone is fucking balls deep. Its a great guitar for what it's made to do.

So, farewell to that. I'm selling it for $500, should I get an Epi LP or a MIM HSS strat for that price?

Are there significant structural differences between an Epi LP and a real Gibby?

I think you will prefer the MIM HSS strat just because you will have more tonal options.

Honestly outside of Chinkshit Dean is one of the only people innovating and experimenting with guitars some times it works sometimes it doesnt. Now compare that to some companies that somehow claim they are closer to 1958 spec than the year before.

I was leaning in that direction also, for the same reasons. I dont really want another HH guitar I think

Since when are LP's metal planks?

The best parts about strats is if you ever want a different pickup configuration you only have to buy a new pickguard, no routing. HSS strats are awesome, I have one with a coil tap on the bridge and it’s perfect.

That’s the Blonde. It is supposed to be a Fender in a box and by following the manual guide you can do the Bassman sound. Joyo has the American Sound which is a copy of the Blonde but it’s better on bass than the Blonde is and it’s cheaper. Wampler has some of the better amp in a box pedals out there. Sadly they are no longer for sale. They were the Tweed 57 and the Black 65 both really good on guitar and bass. Catalinbread has the 5F6 and Formula 55. While the 5F6 is your standard Bassman, their 55 is based on the small tweed combo amps, it can get that sag and gain much better if that’s what you’re looking for. I love that small amp sound and Bearfoot FX has the Model G which is based on some discontinued Gibson amp, it sounds amazing on bass. I can’t speak for the newer Fender pedals by Lovepedal but the Les Lius is excellent on bass.

Those early Bassmans aren’t the greatest bass amps to use but they do break up nicely so my suggestion is getting something like the Way Huge Red Llama and stack it with a Dod 250 overdrive and you can get a sweet gain section to feed the Joyo American Sound with. You can get clones of the 250 and Red Llama for cheap online. Use the American Sound as your EQ tone control and you’re set!

Get fishman fluences then. Why the hell would you sell a $960 guitar that's arguably higher quality than beaner fender and dollar store gibson when you just want to try different pickups?

The guitars you're mentioning are honestly about the same quality as a $400 squire, you just pay extra to remove the squire logo. Keep your guitar, change the pickups, and grab a used up beater stratalike down the road. Now you have two guitars and you'll be happier.

Well then go balls to the wall.
Get orbital sander and use 600 grit. Use can use rougher grit but you have to be careful it won't cut in too deep. Then once you have it to bare wood raise the grain fill it and then sand it smooth at 600. Then use some rattle can sealer. What finish are you going for poly or nitro? Let's see the shit plank in question.
The first one is definitely better. This new one looks low effort.

quality today can become trash in ten years and you can't tell if it was made right unless you've seen it being made, with the perspective of an experienced luthier and full knowledge of the materials used. this is why vintage guitars are desired - the wires might be corroded but they've been proven to be well made just by not falling apart over the years.

lol so you did forget for a second there? thats funny

>Gibson
>best guitar brand
Do I need to remind you of their shitty QC that led to them filing a bankruptcy?

Sadly modern Gibson falls short but even the 50s guitars have assymetrical fret inlays and shit. Boomers have just been fooled by marketing into thinking its desirable.

Fender is actually making improvements with their American line. Not ibanez-good but change has to be slow so boomers won't be alarmed.

And they started making guitars with normal and compound radiuses years ago so where does the baseball bat meme come from

Nah I’m not totally, I mean I’m quite happy to drop 600 on my first bass. Just wondering if 25W would be fine since I’ll be learning alone for ages anyway? If I get a 300W or something it seems kinda wasted to play on lowest volume or headphones so that’s why I’m hesitant to buy it right off.

So then it’s fine in my situation.

Tell me then, what year is your guitar? If you’re talking about the LP Customs, yeah, they’re gonna be good any year.

The pictures quality is in direct proportion to the instrument being photographed. Do you even know anything about photography?

>variety.com/2018/biz/news/gibson-iconic-guitar-company-said-to-be-nearing-bankruptcy-1202704143/

The guitar part of Gibsons business is profitable and always has been, the problem is they were highly over leveraged because they bought up a bunch of side companies that caused the company to hemorrhage money. This is why they went bankrupt, not because you're poor and couldn't afford to buy one.

I'll take a loss we're 2-1 now.

nobody thinks schecter is metal. even dean is more metal than schecter.

schecter is the guitar brand of that guy who says his favorite band is roselia. schecter makes the guitar you play when you're not sure which you like more, evanescence, or girl's dead monster. when you buy a schecter, a trenchcoat and oversized fake sword come as free gifts. what i'm saying is they look anime as all fuck.

a grand total of one actual metal artist reps them. they aren't metal.

You have a shitar center or scam ash by you? Try out different ones. Take notes of what feels good to you specific neck shapes and such. A quick Google search will show the specs. Decide what pickups you want too. So a sound test is ideal

Don't forget to smash that like button. But I don't dance by myself I always have the court retards to assist so I'm never alone.

I had suggested a backing track it was accepted and I recorded to it and then at last minute the arbitrator chose another one. It wasn't fair but oh well

When do the contestants ever pick their own backing track? Never. Constants don’t pick backtracks because you could have already heard it therefore it’s cheating. How do you not understand that?

I'll take the trip off and let's see how slower it gets
Why have you been projecting that for like a week now?

It's because they're designed and manufactured by asians that think the final fantasy aesthetic is classy. The more understated ones are alright though and they play as well as other guitars in the price range.

Just don't get one packaged with EMGs, EMGs make every guitar sound dead unless you EQ the fuck out of them.

Was... was that supposed to be jazz?

Is there a genre name for music that sounds like you just learned the major scale and recorded yourself noodling over the first backing track you could find?

If there's one thing the nips know, it's joints in their wood work.

It's the first wall you see when you walk in. The bottom 2/3s are almost entirely squire and jackson, but we put this ibanez jem (a little more expensive) square in the middle of the second row (about eye level) so it'll stand out. People just grab it and play it first since it looks nice in a sea of cheap guitars. But this one has a really obvious scarf joint and the moment someone sees it is the moment they want to put it down or act like they can't get it to sound good.

You can try and tell them "you looked like you were enjoying it until you noticed that" listen with your ears instead of your eyes but then you're just trying to talk them into a fake guitar. And then they walk out with a fancier contemporary squire, MIM/player strat, or sometimes an epiphone. We can't fucking sell this thing but it's obviously an enjoyable and good sounding guitar when you can't see the scarf joint for the headstock.

clear your head, inhale, relax your muscles, exhale
don't press any harder than necessary to make every note ring out.
try barre-ing with your barre finger sideways
make sure you're not bending your wrist. to prevent this, hold your guitar at an angle, like classical guitar players

lol, that's good shit, but shit nonetheless

at that price point i'd consider LTD, schecter and yamaha

so just replace the emgs with passive pickups, why are you throwing away a good guitar?

>$1000 locking trem guitar from the high end line of a semi-obscure korean brand that has to make quality to sell guitars (except for the guitar center special C-1s which have photo-flame tops and inferior hardware for ~$200 less than a real C-1)
>"guys i want to sell it for half its original value for a budget guitar because i don't like the pickups"

He doesn’t like the metal aesthetic. Sometimes you have to grow up man

did you mean to not mute those extra strings towards the beginning? sounded kinda off

you're also picking hard, which clashes with the rest of the band. try picking a bit lighter, or use your fingers. maybe just roll off the tone

Already did that for both, I have no preference for the necks bc I’m not at the level where it makes a difference for me to notice desu.

Sound is the same I like both no real preference but I’ll just go with a jazz.

i dunno about you, but to me, quilted tops scream jazz fusion, and the headstock looks like a prs headstock

He's already said he was a spic day laborer who works different construction jobs when the temp agency says they're available. He just cleans up construction site debris all day from the sound of it. Considering his drug abuse/alcoholism and the squalid ghetto he lives in he's probably the truth. I remember him saying something about not having any work around Christmas because all the construction companies closed for two weeks during the Christmas/New Years holidays.

He's a 30 year old who does various manual labor odd jobs at construction sites and lives with his Mom because he's a manchild who just wants to smoke weed, get drunk, and listen to shitty metal music. Just your classic arrested development loser.
