/gg/ - Guitar & Bass General

Let me guess, you don't touch it either.

huh, but it's literally just a whole step over the 1st diminished one

I'm not shitposting, but whatever. Talk about guitars. This is a guitar.

nice, but a very small fragment of what could be a song. I'd be more interested to hear a fuller idea: hint, don't focus on every instrument at once when writing a part... focus on the song in totality, ie. the vibe, the progression, the key, the scales, etc.

Don't compartmentalize your creativity into just creating single parts. Have a goal and stick it out, even if it means just writing it all down on one instrument.

It sounds great though, and your recording setup sounds pretty decent.

I'm going to buy pic related tomorrow.
Why shouldn't I?
What's better for the money?
Whats better for under 800 English?

I like hard tails, this will be the 1st guitar I've ever bought.
(I have a Yamaha from 2008 I was gifted)

I know I started a thread about this, but there was no GG in existence when I did, so re-asking here. Would delete other loaf if I knew how.

I don't like that guitar, it looks dumb

Now here's a real cool one

Who was that luthier in the Southwest who infamously hated Les Pauls and triggered the fuck out of Gibsonfriends? He’s dead now, iirc.

I wouldn't buy it but the only reason is because I'd be embarrassed to have that stonkin tadgerheads name branded on anything I own...

not exactly a great reason, but I hate that fucker

Well, you don't have too. That's your prerogative. I'm not a big fan of yours either.

Ed Roman

I don't think you and I would be very good friends

Thanks lad

desu i just have a habit of playing lead and rhythm on the same instrument at the same time but i feel like i only do that out of a desire to hear something more full right away. so it was originally just 1 guitar but i ended up splitting it up over 2 guitars instead.
thanks for the feedback

What's everyone learning right now? I'm working on Hideaway.

Why? Because our tastes differ? Who cares about that? People can be friends and have different tastes.

Any superstrat type guitars you’d say are better within the price bracket?

I really like the look of the guitar ML1

Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Good song

Unironically i've been learning Don't Speak by No Doubt
Well, i say "learn" but there's not much to learn except for the end of the solo which has timing i can't get down for some reason even though it's quite simple

Another good song. That whole album is good. Their later stuff, not so much.

Never actually heard any of their albums
I was just on a nostalgia trip through old MTV stuff that i saw on there as a kid.
Also learned Feel Good Inc. for that reason because even though i'm not a huge Gorillaz fan I have nostalgic memories about their music videos airing on MTV back in 2005 or whatever when i was 12. Jesus christ it's been so long.

I wouldn't pay $500 on a guitar. I'd just wait a few more paychecks and save up for the suhr Pete Thorn guitar. That is probably the best superstrat setup a person could buy...

It’s not a case of saving up it’s a case of how much I’m willing to spend.
If I’m going to spend 1k+ on a strat I’ll buy a MIA Fender.

tell me about the fender

Why? Nobody here knows anything about guitar. Nobody has interest in amps, or has played any of them worth more than $300 dollars. Nobody even realizes about 8 ‘brands’ are really all just Gookguitars from the same shit factory.

You can’t play, you don’t know anything about construction or design, you don’t know about amplifiers, you don’t make any money off of your music if you even have anyone to play with, and worst of all you’re all too poor to even clean your fucking rooms.

Are you fags even western? I feel this is 100% poor Brazilians who think they are on the verge of making it big and attempt to ensure that nobody else In the thread does.

Just a pathetic group. No discussion here allowed at all. Just praising each other’s cheap as fuck gear.

Get the chapman then. You deserve it you filthy pig.

That sounds like shit. I’d sell it all and start over. The amp and the pick and the reverb all have to go

post the pasta with the anime girl kicking her feet on bed, I like that one better

for not having been mixed mastered it sounds great. Bass freqs are booming with clarity, mids are there, highs need a little boost.

Separate the tracks, put on some EQ and shelf em to isolate freqs and it would sound professional. The mic is good.

I don't have a SSS yet

Fender
G&L
or EB MM

or do I say fuck sss and get a tele from either fender or G&L

In case you haven’t been paying attention. There are THREE guitars worth owning and the rest is all a BS copy or imitation.

Chapman
Schecter Diamond Series
Dean
Ibenaz
PRS SE
SAMICK
CORT
MANSON
Epiphone
Squire
Sterling
are ALL from the same factory called World Music Corporation in Korea. They are famous for abusing workers, shit materials, shit build quality.

You need ONE guitar ever you don’t need 6 for DUH TONES.

If you are poor buy a Mexican Fender otherwise:

1. Gibson SG
2. Fender USA strat of your choosing
3. Ernie Ball music Man John Petrucci model of your choosing

Obviously a Strat for single coil sounds a Gibson for thicker sounds or the Musicman for a modern high gain guitar.

Don’t waste money collecting shit planks like the rest of this board. Collect amps instead or invest it.

what do you have now? what do you play?

Tele's are the go-to workhorse but I find they lack character... they don't have the strat/sss mojo. Strat neck pup is unbeatable.

I prefer tele bridge pup though. Overall strat is better though, better feel, better contour, more unique tone, better tonal variety, and imo better looking. Plus you get trem/vibrato with strats which is big thing for me cause I like to float it.

As far as what brand? depends on pickups mostly. G&L is a great bang for your buck if you do either. I just happen to be a fender fanboy.

what guitar is that?

I have a PRS cus24 and a schecter banshee 7 fr-s

I like to play lots of stuff, from metal to rock/blues to jazz

A Mexican HH or Mexican Jackson if tou can find one, beware of Asians

Fair warning: If you get an american made strat you will never pick up your other guitars ever again.

Return of Saturn is way better pleb

A lot of assumptions in this post. Us that actually try to post quality here get lost in all the shitposting.

Yeah bro is you just get the mix right that’s going to be #1 on the bill boards. I’ve never heard a fender clean with that much reverb before. Mind blowing trail blazing.

i don't know about that. i'm a level 82 tone guru and my PRS is my go to staff

I've got a PRS and I can rarely ever let go of my strat(s) long enough to play it

Generally I'd go for a G&L or PRS SE before chappers stuff if it's the first guitar.

what genres do you play

are those new vintera strats made in a murica or are they beaner fenders?

Seeing all the insecure shitplayers scramble to find excuses to post playing makes my day every time

Gross dude, sell your shitty asian guitars and just get a strat. You don’t need 8 guitars just turn the gain nob up .5 settings and you’ve saved yourself $800 dollars. Christ you people over dosed heavily on marketing ITT.

But yeah. Go to the store. Get an SSS and play it for 30 minutes. Realize you’ll only use 1 and 5. Then pick up an SG and play it, realize it’s also really good but different. Decide what you like best.

If you can decide get a music Man JP and realize it’s high gain (turn down volume knob and it’s VINTAGE OUTPUT WAHH??). It has a coil split so you can get that single coil tone from the two strat positions everyone uses strat or the humbuckers from the Gibson. I think some years even have a position 4 and 2 mode on the selector.

I unironically like the Banshee from Schecter but koreN guitars have been awful for me, so you could just have the custom shop make you an actually good one.

Keep in mind I’m telling you this because these 3 guitars have excellent form factor and the manufacturing process and material sourcing is top notch.
Each comes with a variety of neck profiles pickup outputs to match your preference.

Holy shit this dude is based

You pretty well summed up /gg/. I actually have a nice Mesa amp that I've used for years without problems, even though everyone here told me 'have fun getting it repaired'. Basically all I see is a lot of sour grapes, shitposting and jealousy and no real important or valuable discussion.

I am unironically learning James Franco by Polyphia

Thats a great analogy. I think the main issue here and even on most guitar forums is the actual good players spend very little time browsing forums and gear stuff and actually spend a lot more time practicing/playing. So you end up with a thread like this where its hard to take things serious when 95% of the questions are a search away and then I find a lot of people just want to constantly deflect ideas and advice and it just turns into a shit fest real fast.

it's probably because
1. not many people play guitar in the year 1950+69, so it's going to be a small general
2. those that do play, most are really, really bad. those that are good, don't need to post for validation
3. if you are good and post, you'll still get shittalked by those who aren't, because this is Yea Forums and they can
4. the guitar industry is at the stage where unless you're buying absolute trash, you really can't to wrong. There's no real point to sperging about amps and gear when it basically amounts to tone snobbery and opinions
5. other generals already cover what this general does i.e. posting your music or learning theory
6. yeah we have a brazilian problem and it's unfortunate

nice guitars, I really like the banshee. Amazing instrument.
I'll recommend you a tele, though, because you need something with a fixed bridge. If you can get a nashville tele, even better.

b-but I always really liked the look of a Les Paul guitar, are they really that uncomfortable?

>Realize you’ll only use 1 and 5
t. retard

How long have you played for and is this through a line 6?

I have a 2008 standard plus. It's a beautiful guitar that has a warm tone and nice sustain, but it's pretty fucking heavy. It's also not really easy to play... But it sounds pretty great with both a clean tone and with high gain.

I have a PRS SE Paul Allender I got for $550 from the floor of a Guitar Center that's far easier to play, not nearly as heavy and sounds great with high gain due to the EMGs.

Les Paul is iconic and they are really pretty guitars though. You are paying for brand name, the warm tone and the finish. Any questions?

why the fuck can't custom guitar shops build a decent website? Fuck you warmoth you need to show me more than a 240x240 picture of the wood you're trying to sell, same with keisel. You'd really think they would have a builder that shows you the guitar as you're picking the pieces and I could've sworn that warmoth used to have that, but goddamn is it a pain in the ass

they do

So can I get that warm tone and nice sustain on a more practical and lighter guitar?

where? I'm clicking through this shit and goddamn this fucking website is a piece of shit, I do web dev for a living and I'm honestly thinking of emailing them and offering to fix their website out of the kindness of my heart because this is just an awful user experience.

yeah fuck that guy. i hate curved fretboards, compound radius included, but i like single coils but only in the neck/middle. fender wont make that shit because durrr we make em like the rock stars played so im not buying. like gibson won’t make hh+floyd because acdc didnt play that

inb4 the latest personality larp says tuning stability is useless and so are trems

>gibson won’t make hh+floyd
They do actually. It's called Les Paul Axcess.

People who care about what guitar you buy and argue about what types of guitars should be bought at all are generally not players or can play about as well as lee anderton. At the best. So since they cant get attention for their nonexistent music they demand you suffer through their shitty opinions which usually boil down to

“Fuck all affordable entry level instruments, spend over a grand always”
“Buy one of my favorite guitars, everything else is stupid, pointless, soulless, for manchildren, for posers, and comes packed with fresh poo in the control cavity”

Just dont pay attention to the pros who dont follow their advice. They’re either dumb or paid off. Nobody would ever willingly play something other than their favorites.

I'm sure you can get close. I guess it depends on what you want to play, or if you care that much. I wanted a Gibson USA Les Paul really badly because it's iconic and a bit of a status symbol, but practicality wise and particularly on a limited budget you could get much better value for dollar.

My Les Paul retails for $2200... It's very pretty, sure, and it has a great tone. I will never need another electric guitar for clean tones again. If you just have your heart set on it (I did) do it, you'll love it. As far as the comfort, the point is if that's a big deal to you there are much lighter guitars. I also should mention I didn't know as much about guitars as I do now, bought the Les Paul about 6 years ago.

I feel like Gibson is the Apple or Razer maybe of guitars - the product is very solid but it's overpriced for the brand name and finish I think. I hope this helps.

Thanks for your opinion. Personally I don't care about the iconic aspect, even less about the status thing. I simply biased towards Les Pauls because the guitarists whose tone I admire the most all played them. The music I'd like to make is something similar to what Robert Fripp and Brian Eno made in the 70's, and Fripp always played LPs for their long sustain and warm clean tones, which is exactly what I'm after.
youtube.com/watch?v=hW85KrKEphY

If there is a less known brand that makes the same (or better) guitars than Gibson, I'll gladly buy from them instead. Fripp himself plays Japanese brands like Tokai nowadays, for instance. I just know nothing about those.

Brands don't mean anything in guitars. Set neck vs. bolt on doesn't matter. Paint color doesn't matter. Figured maple caps don't matter. Wood is magic, you can look at it for a straight grain and dry it out but every piece is going to be different on the inside. It's not consistent, not even if you buy solid grade A+++ honduras mahogany every time and get your guitars from the same expert luthier.

You have to stop typing, get out of your chair, go down the street and actually play the things to make a decision.

Ahhh, well in that case you probably should go for the Les Paul! I didn't care about getting that classic tone or whatever, I listen to metal mostly. If you want warm tone and long sustain, that's the guitar. :)

Your welcome, I hope that was helpful.

This is also true... You could easily get a lemon.

Go to guitar center and play a few of them, they ALWAYS have used Les Pauls.

Go to an actual music store instead, they might take care of their crap or at least not attract so many teenagers

You know those are just gimmicks, right? It's like Mateus "I only know sixths" Asato. Just one word dictionaries.

I would argue gimmicks are cliches that are used only to appeal to a subset group.

imagine being this angry because you have a $2000 guitar and can't even make $20 off a gig

Everything I've read and heard about it, reviews of it, etc. make me believe it is the absolute perfect guitar for comfort and ease of play using high gain tones for modern metal and rock. It also has a ton of options to change the tone and a beautiful form factor (subjective obviously) and I do not own a high end modern metal guitar. That's why I want one.

Niggerfaggot

This is the kind of hyperbole I come to Yea Forums for.

Shut up you fucking wop

Double bridge and neck coils that you can run single if you like with a piezo pickup that you can mix in or run solo. It rounds out clean tones really nicely. The difference in sound just from that makes it really neat in my opinion.

But I guess yah, knobs.

Their bassist sucks too, watch him dip out on the only part of of OD that isn't whole notes. Tim should just fire everyone and be a solo artist honestly, at this point Tim is polyphia. Just like how Mario and Erick could fire everyone in chon and it wouldn't change anything, and even then I wonder how much Erick writes since his solo style at least is extremely different from Mario's and sticks out in their songs quite a bit. Also he doesnt take Smash seriously so it's only a matter of time before the Camarenas axe him

Split hums and a piezo? That's not really new or innovative.

>Tim should just fire everyone and be a solo artist honestly
That makes perfect sense. He's taken them so far away from what they used to be and he's the one with all the hype now. Keep the drummer as a touring musician since he's got the hi-hat trap shit down at least and then find competent pros for guit and bass to tour with

They're probably "friends" or some gay shit like that though so it won't happen

>Also he doesnt take Smash seriously so it's only a matter of time before the Camarenas axe him

Playing guitar was WAY better when I was high all day.

Or take the easy way out and get on SSRIs

Maybe not, I thought it was a really cool system that along with the fit and finish of the guitar itself and the reportedly ultrasmooth ease of play really impressed me. Maybe I'm a pleb, but it was designed by a virtuoso who plays exactly the kind of tone I want and it was highly endorsed by a youtuber I very much enjoy - that got me interested.

After watching a few reviews and reading about it, it seems like exactly what I want. I mean what do you look for in a guitar? Maybe we want different things.

Dopamine levels were fucked to shit already way before that due to ADHD (and maybe years of ritalin as a child, but there's no conclusive evidence for that)

1. I dont gig anymore becuase its pathetic watchign soem cringe fags try to make it big in 2019 with a guitar
2. you're poor and your guitar isn't impressive and nobody respects you no matter how skilled you think you are at playin git

I think they'll break up soon, scott for sure isn't into the trap shit half as much as Tim is, and doesnt seem to be into the lifestyle either. Reading Tim's Twitter youd think this dude was an A list rapper and not a good guitarist in a niche subgenre instrumental band with all the drugs and hedonistic shit he does. I predict polyphia break up or tim overdose in the next 2 years honestly.

Kek when I found out the new bassist was a Camarena it honestly kinda bummed me out. What bummed me out worse was hearing that their drummer doesnt write or record his own music, that's the musician equivalent of dragging your wife on stage every show and watching her get fucked while you play

One might question what it is that draws you to this general.

how bad do you think each one of them wants to fuck the girl bass player?

vocaroo.com/i/s1uNSbddriDk

he's a weeaboo who owns a les paul because of K-on and a strat because strats are good

he's eternally angry because he spent a very large amount of money on guitars only to be outdone by mexican jazz-fusion shredders with schecters and line six amps, so now he acts like he's in this fantasy world where everyone is mark agnesi

>:P

thats how i know shes a fat cow and also how i know you barely get to touch her

To get the same quality as ESP, you'd have to spend twice as much on a Gibson or half as much, if you make the smart choice and buy a Ibanez Prestige.

Ibanez necks are too thin.

I wanted to discuss guitars and amps but instead I just get a bunch of fags posting generic music, defending WMC, and trying to tell me nice guitars are bad and bad guitars are just as good. You can even explain to them the differences and they just fart into a microphone and post it and keep on brazilian shredding. Sad state of affairs. Going to go fuck me wife and plant some trees in my yard. Later fags.

Tripp plays Tokai Les Paul's mainly when he travels overseas so he doesn't have to take the risk of putting one of his good Les Paul's on a plane. But the reason why he's afraid of losing one of his good Gibson Les Pauls is because he has a few fantastic "singing" ones. Most guitarist have no idea what this means because they've never had the pleasure or luck to stumble upon one themselves, they're rare birds.

This won't mean anything to you right now but if you play enough of them you may get lucky and find one. The other people are telling you the truth, you have to keep seeking them out and playing them to find what Fripp has.

We get it, you're a bad satire of a gearfag.

No, im just a gear fag wanting to discuss gear but instead you all are just low iq morons.

I thought just their nationality was sufficient before but I see now there are worlds of disdain that are unexplored by me.

Also do folks in here buy guitars intending to try to make a living with music? I have expensive guitars but I bought them because I enjoy learning and playing guitar and want nice things.

Are you a legit retard?

should I make sure the neck is as straight as possible before I set up the intonation at the saddles? or does a slight relief not make a difference

Attached: m3ZwbWV.png (373x365, 316K)

No difference. Action is preference

Why not just give the optimal relief and adjust the action with the saddle screws? Who the hell adjusts their action with the trust rod?

It's a system user. Not everyone enjoys a perfectly straight neck. Use your brain a little. It's not hard

ok doke, thanks

No. Schecter did it in 95 with the release of the Damien series.

Guitar necks aren't supposed to be perfectly straight. They're not designed to be. Do you know nothing about guitar design and setup?

Intonation is the last thing you do in a setup. Neck relief, string height, pickup height, intonation. That's a bare-bones setup.

I'm well aware, but user above saying action is completely from the saddles is also wrong. But you're a troll. Last (You) for you

So what's an affordable guitar that makes good use of technological advancement?

But why is it so expensive? I want some quality modelling at the cost of an arm

*I don't want lol

These over-switched guitars are a fucking joke and everyone copies the les paul's 3 position switch for a reason. Gibson, for all they do wrong, at least got the controls right. Nothing else beats the way they do it.

>Affordable
Get a job. As long as they're made of wood you'll get what you pay for, and if they're not made of wood and are still good, they're going to cost a bit anyways.
>Guitar that makes good use of tech
Superstrats, headless superstrats, and guitars that pretend they aren't superstrats (ie: music man JP). Pick one, but it's the current endgame of the electric guitar until optical pickups become practical and flat response/wide bandwidth actives ala cycfi work their way into the market and even then they'll just be fitted onto superstrat-like bodies with locking tremolos or evertunes. The future of guitars is pretty apparent. Select that, or go full vintage. The awkward period in between is pretty much irrelevant and doesn't offer the best of either world, so it's just a bunch of beginner guitars really.

Because they have to recoup R&D costs and make up for the fact they're in a low-demand niche market without resorting to excessive cost cutting

Bias amp is pretty good for pretty cheap. I use it and can post some tones if you want.

guitar facts: you get exactly what you pay for no matter what brand you buy unless it's korean or indonesian

then every guitar plays like it costs $500, even if it's $250 or $1500, with a few outliers that play like they're $5 and even fewer that play like they're $5000 (both of which occur at every price point)

What cabinet do you use?

I bought the 1x12 Closed back widebody from Mesa, I prefer the Celestion in it over the V30s. The amp has dual master volumes so you can get it sounding good at any volume level, main reason I bought it and a used one has transferable warranty.

Dont you get bored posting the exact same thing every single day? I mean seriously day in, day out, same shit over and over, for weeks, months, probably years. Doesnt it get old?

How is dual master volume better than single? Is it the same as having an attenuator?

Kind of, but its a little different. The reason its better than a single master is because you can crank the channel master getting the full power stage engaged and then control the actual output going to the speaker separately. In other words, you get the power amp saturation without needing to crank the amp up loud like an old Plexi or other vintage amp. So yeah I feel no need to have an attenuator with it, you get all the good feel of a loud amp at any level. Mesa's in general get a lot of gain at the pre-amp so the amp never sounds thin.

Get a gibson, buy a job, thank me later.

wow bros learned how to play fmaj7 today and it's nice and dreamy i like this chord a lot :)

Is it better or worse than having/using an attenuator?

Post some of your music.

Honestly, I don't know. I've read a lot mixed stuff on attenuators, some guys say they 'suck the tone' and stuff. I guess it depends which one you buy. They seem to be best for old Marshall's and stuff. With the Mesa I see no point in having one with it. The only reason to have one that I can think of is if you wanted to change how it breaks up over various wattage levels by controlling the headroom and stuff, but otherwise I'm fine with just running it full 50W. Its one of the main reasons I bought the Mesa, I really didn't want to fuck around with attenuators and load boxes and other shit.

what's the matter, can't remember what more than one switch does?

The only thing that matters is whether or not something sounds good. It doesn't matter how you get there.

>I really didn't want to fuck around with attenuators and load boxes and other shit.
Why? Can attenuators ruin the amp or something? Thanks for being helpful btw.

but you gotta justify all those snazzy lookin chrome control plates with as many switches as possible

I think it has to do more with the jangly sound not being fashionable when 70s buttrock came about. The switching on jaguars is super simple, you pretty much have to be a retard to get confused by it. You can basically ignore the top circuit unless you're playing jazz (or want a killswitch) and the main circuit is just an on/off switch for the pickups.

It's just a visually messy and physically awkward way to achieve something can be done with four pots (one push/pull) and a three pos which allows for more options than that anyways

>tfw Cracker Barrel sucks now
They used to have the greatest fucking pancakes.

Did Push/pull pots exist in the early 60s?

yes retard

NEW THREAD

No, not that I know of. Its just a good one is expensive and I didn't want to spend $600-$700 or so on another box that can possibly break or blow up down the road. I do know they can get really hot due to taking the load of the amp and attenuating it. The other thing I know is that the tube life can be shortened since you're still putting a full load across the amp, which makes sense. If I had multiple amps I might have considered it, but with the TC-50 I have no desire to own another amp since it does just about everything well. Even though its a rock/metal amp, the clean channel has turned out to be one of my favourite things about it.

Not at all, think I've listened to them like once lol

I was experimenting with weird ways to make chord progressions, I played random high whole notes on the piano and then figured out how to harmonize them with chords to make it sound cohesive. Was going for more of an experimental vibe but it just ended up as basic jazz

Gretsch is cool.

If it craps out yes

Who is Gretsch?
