Holy shit, third time posting this now.
Anyway, has anyone here had experience playing the Duff McKagan signature bass? Or the Jazz Special it's based on? I'm looking to maybe get one down the road.
Also, recommend me other good basses under $1,000.

I'm 20 and have been playing jazz and classical piano for all my life. I bought a guitar and I can play basic chords but I'm overall trash right now. If I follow the justinguitar lesson plan, how long will it take me to become proficient? Please don't tell me to fuck off right away
Blake Lee
nobody knows how long you'll practice or what you consider proficient
Why are you getting so autistic over a shitty plank of wood lately? All electric guitars are basically the same. And why so angry over WMIC shit? Everyone already agrees they're cheap shit for beginners ala mexican fender. Nobody ever said otherwise.
Let me guess, you bought a gibson SG and are starting to regret it? Kind of like that gibshill that has the les paul because he likes K-on but shitposts instead of practicing.
Connor Rivera

As someone with a MIM strat, it annoys me that every cool new guitar fender make is also Mexican. I wanted an excuse to get an MIA because of muh build quality and resale value, but it just isn't worth it. So yes, get the vintera
Lucas Thompson
if you want cool high end guitars you don't buy from a boomer company like fender. they don't sell guitars, they sell fenders. simple stuff. gibson is the same. they're deep into their brand image and are retaining customers by being fender instead of being good. it's a solid strategy. it says fender on the headstock and america on the back of it so you know what you're going to get.
there are tons of smaller shops like kiesel and mayones out there, and bigger names like ESP.
Jordan Rodriguez
>they don't sell guitars, they sell fenders. simple stuff. gibson is the same. what does this even mean

They're going to keep making the same shit over and over again and you're going to like it.

Ayden Hill

Wyatt Ramirez
Only problem I have with Paul Reed Smith guitars is the tone isn't really distinct from any other high end humbucker guitar. Not saying tone is bad, it's great. Just not really unique in any way.
Of course build quality is great, and the design offers a nice modern alternative to vintage style MIA guitars.
Justin Long
He's not the only american that isn't stuck in the past and worshipping rock n roll/blues
But he was the most aggressive in getting his shit out there and was the best at taking care of the customer and delivering good shit every time. For the prices he charges he better be.

Chase Young
The truth is if you need anything other than what Fender or Gibson have to offer then you're 100% delving into some retarded memeshit music one way or the other. Which is fine just expect 99.9% of your potential audience to balk at whatever bullshit garbage music you've decided you need a special snowflake guitar to play it with.
I'm angry not because I don't like your guitars. They're fine. You can put up with them, and that's what matters. If you play a guitar you don't like and sound like trash that's my ears on the line. I'm angry because you talk like guitar choice is so linked to genre that if someone doesn't like fender necks and buys an ibanez, they must be playing trap metal.
And that's just fucking stupid.
The only things that make noise are the pickups and the strings. Everything else is player comfort and tuning stability, sometimes even intonation, and that shit has come a long fucking way since the mid 20th century.
So I guess if I grab a headless guitar with intonated frets I might be playing the blues but to you I'm fucking ridiculous for not playing some vintage rock and roll axe that is, to me, the old school version of the teenage metalhead guitar.
Xavier Jackson

>allan memesworth (i.e. retarded memeshit musician) Lmao case in point, perfectly illustrated.
No one outside of a handful of guitars dweebs knows or cares about who this guy is or the music he played. He's one of those. The fact that he started playing meme guitars as he spiraled towards irrelevancy in the music world should have been your first clue but... alas, blinded by your autism's glaring yet again.
And you probably thought you made a valid point too, that's the best part.
No, retard, I just wanted him to set my bass guitar's action the lowest that he could and the electric guitar as high as needed to have no buzz at all. That's all.

Josiah Cruz
Does anybody have thoughts on which way I should go in trying to get a nice 50’s style Broadcaster or Telecaster?
I would generally want the blackguard look, but the new 50’s Vintera Telecaster In Fiesta Red would be appealing if it had nitro instead of a poly finish. There’d probably be a couple kinks to work out, but nothing that a good setup and a pickup switch wouldn’t fix.
However, if you’re still starting out you should probably wait until you have a bit more experience before moving to them to shop around more standard picks and see what sort of shape and thickness you like.
I've starting doing all the luthier work for my guitars and honestly I couldn't go back now.

I usually set them up myself but I had do bring them to the luthier for filling and installing a locking bridge and to straighten the bass' neck

Yea Forums has always been chock full of people who are obsessed with image management and avoid everything but the safest and most generic path because they were bullied in school and have a pathological fear of going through it all again
Listen to pop and rap. Play a strat or a gibson, no ibanez allowed. Wear a watch, khakis, and a polo. Use windows or a macbook. Do not let anyone find out you play video games. Drive an American car with a v8. No, a truck.
Now while you're doing that also be secretly into trap porn, alternative nazi ideology, and lolicon anime. And god, you wish you were 6'2", "men" under that height are prime bullying material.
Levi Johnson
I've said it before and I'll say it again -- this is perhaps the absolute worst general on Yea Forums for actual discussion of its ostensible topic. There's a solid 20% of users here who know what they're doing and they try to redeem it, but the rest is bottom of the barrel memeing and shitposting of absolutely no worth
Aiden Bell
there is some autist. he owns a les paul and a strat and likes anime. he posted his playing once it and sucked and admitted that he doesn't practice because he's too busy shitposting.
if you call him out enough the kaka, sam's dad, and gibson SG posting will all stop for a few hours and he'll show up with his anime girl avatars.
Juan Hill
Are these the god-picks? Would Steve Vai or Tim Henson use them?
Gonna use them to strum my ibanez, since I only play guitars that are used by actual talent.
yes, these picks make your tone better. arisa ichigaya in particular is so well known as a tone-waifu that every paul reed smith guitar has to listen to youtube.com/watch?v=Eb3oNyxrcWo&t=49 for 2 hours before leaving the factory to give its tone that extra punch

anyone here try the seth lover duncans? do you like em?
Hi guys, I got given pic related. It's about 10 years old, well looked after as far as I can tell.
Been practising with it every day for about 2 months. Like how it feels, don't like the look but can change that.
Thinking about switching up the pick ups. As much to make it look more to my tastes as improve sound. Are they active or passive in this thing? If it's active is the battery likely to be ok after 10 years? It seems to work fine with my baby amp.
What would be good to stick in the neck slot if I want classic 60's tones? A seymour duncan?
And if I wanted to shred at the bridge would an EMG humbucker be good?
It has a 5 way blade but I am not actually sure what every stage activates I just know 1=bridge, 3 Middle, 5= Neck.
Any advice would be appreciated if anyone has any experience with one of these.

>visibly thick finish
If this isn't your first cheap starter guitar don't buy it.
Not sure what pedals she uses and I can't find her rig anywhere, but I would think any kind of overdrive or distortion and a bit of reverb could get you fairly close. So pretty much a Boss OD-1 and an ehx Holy Grail (or a clone of it) if you don't have an amp with a reverb tank
Austin Kelly
thx
Austin Campbell
Like said, focus on your amp before your guitar Or get an audio interface and Guitar Rig or some amp sim A shit guitar can sound godly through a good amp, but a great guitar will always sound like shit through one of those shitty practice amps
Isaac Lopez
It's a Yamaha THR5 - Is that shit? I also have access to an Orange Stack and a Mesa Boogie, but I don't have much space at home or knowledge on how to get goodness out of them.
Jeremiah Hill
there are two principle styles of electric guitar, american and east asian
the american style is defined by the gretsch semi-hollow and hollowbodies, the fender stratocaster, the fender telecaster, and the gibson les paul. american style instruments tend to be heavily biased towards one genre or another, having features that favor the tones and playing style of the genre. on average, players of american style guitars focus on low and mid-range notes and rhythmic, chord-laden playing. gibsons, out of all of them, are the least genre specific.
the east asian style is defined by the ibanez RG and ESP E-II/M-II and is a derivative of choice elements from the american style. although they look like they are based on fenders, in spirit they are improvements upon the concepts of typical gibson guitars, with more focus on musical range and playing speed. east asian guitars are known for fret access, ergonomics, flat fretboard radiuses that favor highly technical playing, and the two humbucker layout, though HSS is also common.
people who like both tend to favor gibsons out of all the western guitars, but people who hate east asian guitars tend to either be fender fans, or just racist.
both are great and there are many very nice instruments that represent each. there's also a lot of cheap shit that represents each. play what you like and remember it's the music that matters and not the wanker on stage or the axe he's holding.
Caleb Hall
What does /gg/ think of the Godin Session Custom '59?
Ethan Rogers
So what you're saying is, the Gibson SG was ahead of its time and predicted the modern electric guitar?
>It's a Yamaha THR5 For a solid state practice amp it's okay, but you're probably going to want to get a tube amp. Mesas and Oranges are usually really good, and you just have to mess around with them until you get a sound you like out of them, but if impractical then that's a problem. Vox and Fender have some decent practice tube amps if you look around but they can get expensive real quick. I've personally used a 65 Twin Reverb Reissue for the past 2 years and I'm in love with the thing and it's not gigantic or too pricey.
Jordan Martinez
Could I string a 5-string bass with the 5 highest strings of a 6-string bass (e a d g c) and tune it e a c# g# b? The only problem I see is the nut
Get a low wattage tube amp, they just sound good. The only other thing that sounds as good is modeling gear that costs more than twice as much as most of the amps it models (powered kemper lol). Not saying it's not a good value. Lots of pros use that stuff. But it's a lot of money for an electronic instrument.
I have the mesa rectoverb 25 and it's great

Man, imagine growing up in a world with only two real options for a good electric guitar.
Nice that some of the people who grew up in that world went on to become luthiers so we could have more options and get the same enjoyment they did out of their frankenstrats. Now almost any custom guitar you can think of is already made for you with excellent craftsmanship, usually for an affordable price around one or two grand.
Bentley White
Prove that your guitar isn't made in some Korean or Indonesian sweatshop. If your guitar was not made in the USA or Japan it is shit.

Extremely thin bodies. Like, too thin. Pretty sure they're neck heavy so expect lots of neck dive. Also, pickup rings and that plastic monstrosity around the selector switch really ruin the aesthetic
Grayson Martinez
GOAT guitar body shape. I've owned several over the years. They're comfy as hell, light but balanced and look badass. The higher tiers are amazing. I have a Japanese made one so the top tier.
Julian Price
Vintage radius which makes it easy to choke out while bending, vintage style bridge makes the E strings closer to the edge, truss rod under pickguard which makes it difficult to adjust, neck pickup screws underneath pickguard, $900~ for a Mexican made guitar with poly finish, neck has a larger diameter (I dont mind but theres a reason everyone uses modern C now)
They talk about it in the andertons video. It's made for the "Play Authentic" fans who want a truly authentic experience. You'd be better off getting a Baja tele

Gabriel Harris
is a black pickguard on a surf green guitar vintage correct at all?
Oliver James
pretty much. the people who really want those vintage styled guitars aren't playing chon licks, polyphia riffs, metallica chugs, jazz improv, fucking classical guitar pieces, and megadeth solos, they're playing buddy holly and want the guitar to complete it. the limitations do not affect what they play. sure you could play that on a modern guitar, but they're in the business of recreation as well as making music.
if you're the kind of guy whose playing repetoire just got described then those 43+mm nut, flat necked metal axes and other modern/modernized guitars are for you.
Isaiah Jenkins
>If your guitar was not made in the USA or Japan it is shit
This really isn’t true, there are some excellent luthiers outside the US for a start. Anyway here’s your proof (plus a tone pube).
that's not true it's a lot harder to dial in a certain pickup position while you're playing on a 3 position guitar than a 5 position guitar and the more pickups you have the more magnets you have pulling on the strings which means less sustain among other things
Austin Ross
For mass produced electrics it is. There's lots of independent guys worldwide who make top tier stuff but the best factory guitars are pretty much concentrated in two countries, because those two countries are the only first world nations that give the slightest fuck about electric guitar.
Guitars are really the only thing the US and Japan have in common, besides anime nerds.
Aiden Wilson
>his pickups have significant magnetic pull
Get actives. If you think they have less dynamic range they are either 1: too close to the strings 2: low on battery 3: one of EMG's crappier models.
Once you have pickups you can't stick to a fridge you'll shit bricks.

Question from a clueless guy - would it be totally unrealistic to gig (on a smallish scale) with a 20 watt amp? Have seen people on forums saying they micd it
Luke Wood
Most places I've played had a small PA specifically for that purpose, but it varies. If you've got local places in mind, you might want to call them or swing by and see what equipment they have first.
Julian Price
friendly reminder that only a Gibson™ is good enough
that aside, pedal won't arrive until monday, both sets of strings will arrive friday, so i'll need to fix up my strat before then and get to jammin'. what are you fa/gg/s practicing today?
Yea cool, might ask a friend who has played there before. Just don't have money right now for it. They don't seem to pack a huge punch just watching videos of them, so maybe I'd be ok
also that brings me onto something else, isn't it frustrating when you see someone with two beautiful high end guitars, and they switch out one for another song even though the tone they use is practically the same and it was a pointless addition to the song? surely the other equipment is much more important
Josiah Wilson
Have come to the conclusion I simply cannot stand rock music of any sort in which the bass was not prominently mixed. Really, really ruins it. Sweet, mellow song? Miss out on the melodic aspect hugely. Something harder? Totally loses its balls.
was listening to Beatles Anthology 1. Some of that stuff is really twee, but it still absolutely rocks more than most of their other stuff because of that damn bass.
Bentley Wilson
Do you guys think this fretboard separation is fixable with glue/clamps or should I take it to a luthier?
Nah, a former owner did a thick amateur hour repaint that pushed the neck a bit out of place. It's still a Gibson L6 with original parts. I also got it for free. I think I'm just going to pop the neck off and epoxy it back together myself, shouldn't be too much trouble.
Eli Miller
I would suggest you take it to a luthier if you're not experienced with this It's very easy to fuck up and leave it in a worse state than it was before
Bentley Hall
good thread, nice butt
Andrew Perez
Right on. At the very least I can get a quote on the repair.
Hunter Sullivan
1-do no harm epoxy is a big no hide glue is used for repairs
and the neck is not from that body for surre
Zachary Perry
I mean your luthier is gonna glue it and clamp it, yes. But this is his gonna be his 1000th fretboard glued and clamped, not his 1st, unlike you.

It is definitely from that body, but believe whatever you want.
