What is a good humbucker?

I have a Charvel with a Super Distortion in the bridge. It's so high output, I find it's near unusable for cleans. It sounds great with my dirt cranked, but the moment it turns off, it's just unremarkable and brittle.

If it matters I use a JC120 with a DS-1 and TS808.

>Strat with 7.5" radius, feels good, easy to play
>Strat with 9.5" radius, feels alright, not dramatically different but noticeable
>SG with 12" radius, feels very flat, hard to play
>RG with 15.5" (!) radius, doesn't feel flat, the SG feels flatter

Why? Is it due to the Wizard neck? Closing my eyes to play, going from 7.5" to 15.5", literally over double the radius, the difference is slight in playability. I'd be fooled into finding the SG's 12" flatter.

Read this princeton.edu/ssp/joseph-henry-project/electric-guitar-pickup/Guitar-Pickup-Theory.pdf

And buy a soldering iron and a pack of caps and resistors instead of a new pickup

you have bad technique and can't cope well with flatter fretboards and higher actions because of it (which are actually normal for acoustic guitars) but a really thin neck with a low action is more forgiving of weird thumb positions and other flawed techniques because there's very little neck to get in your way and fretting is effortless

buy an acoustic and don't play electric again until you're good with it

I'm interested in a Jazz Chorus amp. I can afford the JC-22 or JC-40. I tried out the 40 in store and I found it exceptionally loud. Like I have the volume at 0.5 out of 10 and it's playable, anything higher is way too much.

Is this normal? How do I make it a little more manageable, would a volume pedal in the FX loop help?

It's funny you mention that because I've only owned nylon stringed guitars and am looking into buying an electric. I tried out two Strats, an SG, the RG, and a Tele in store and not sure which is best for me.

Nylon string guitars are even easier. They have no string tension at all.

Which strats and sg have you tried specifically?

SGs normally come with 10-46 strings
strats and ibanezzes normally come with 9s

this, you have babby hands

First for the ascetic aspie lifestyle causing poor normalfags pain

Now that I read the spec sheets, it was 7.25", not 7.5".

>MIM Classic 50's
>MIA Performer (70's specs IIRC)
>Epiphone SG-400 Deluxe

Attached: only good girl.jpg (1280x720, 59K)

Yeah, the SG comes with 10s and all the other guitars come with 9s. You were feeling fretting effort due to string gauge. Ibanez guitars sometimes come with 10s but have super low buzzy action to negate it.

Get the classic 50s and larp as Clapton

>too loud

Did you actually try it louder? Not all pots are equal, some will 'load' their effectiveness at lower levels to make it seem like they're louder than they actually are. Some might give you 20 watts at a level 2 and others will give you 2 watts.

That said, 40 watts is loud as fuck even for SS unless you're gigging a fairly large club. I have an old 65 watt crate amp that hasn't ever had to go past 7ish to be loud enough to fill a school gym.

all the virtuosos of today play ibanez guitars.only a small minority still play fender, an equally small minority plays ESP, an even smaller minority prefers gibsons (it's mostly guys who are "good for a rock star"), and like one guy plays schecter.

take a look at what they're doing, and then realize your left hand already agreed. if "good enough" doesn't cut it, get an ibanez.

But virtuosos are autists that make garbage music, stop aspiring to be like that. Eric Clapton plays a stratocaster and he's so based he stopped a concert to give a speech about how racist he was.

To add on, you can try a volume pedal but it may mess with your tone negatively. Maybe not as bad as a tube amp, but still might be noticeable. If you're handy you could maybe find a cheap attenuator and wire it inbetween the speaker amp part

virtuosos are remembered after it's all said and done. sometimes they even get guitars named after them.

rock stars are forgettable pop music artists. who the fuck knows the name of that guy who played gutiar for that pumpkin band? almost nobody, they're washed up, they're out of style. but if you say "joe satriani" everyone's heard of him at some point.

Are you seriously implying that the legacy of virtuosos will outlast Eric Clapton? Please continue to show us how delusional you are so that we know not to take your advice.

i didn't know about any of these faggots until i started reading about guitar junk and talking to guitarists

normal people under the age of 30 don't know who eric clapton and steve vai are

>playing guitar to be famous
the hebrew-run industry has willingly chose to stop promoting all forms of music that rely on a band. bands aren't profitable. they're hard to get. they have drama that gets in the way of production. they don't always want to change members when one guy sucks. you can't always find a new member. sometimes you have to try and have one guy in multiple bands at once. all the industry wants is someone who is good looking with a good voice, whether or not they can sing with it is irrelevant. everything else is digitally produced and instrumentals, if not sampled, are provided by professional session artists who get it on the first take unlike a band of guitarfags.

I still don't know who eric clapton is besides "some guy who has a signature stratocaster".

I'm 22 btw

Eric clapton is fairly close to a household name, if only because he was quite popular during the boomers' time. They would at least recognize him after hearing one of his songs, vai not so much

>normal people
>under the age of 30

Cheap attenuators destroy amps.

10/10 for genuinely unusual substances, and I don't say that often. Have you read TiHKAL?

Bare Knuckle.

You mean 7.25"

Get an EQ pedal, pickup companies sell voodoo magic.

Often true, but you can't save an ultra-compressed mud hose like a Super Distortion with EQ.

shit bait or retarded.

you fucking moron, more people would know who kirk hammet or kurt cobain is than satriani.

haha satriani and vai are always looking for a hook, have you even heard for the love of god?

listen to cream or john mayalls bluesbreakers. he's a good guitarist for his feel which got him the nick name "slow hand". also some classic riffs you would have heard.

yep, there is no way a bunch of magnets wrapping in copper wire is worth 200 bucks. pickups are moron mojo.

who /20" radius/ here

Attached: ht6.jpg (347x1009, 118K)

I don't understand why they don't just make them flat.

Pickups are incapable of compressing signals. Your amp with shit for headroom is compressing it because it can't handle the voltage peaks in the signal, the pickup just reproduces different frequency ranges that sound brighter or duller to your ears.

An EMG with a preamp is compressed because the preamp compresses and clips. A super distortion does not compress, it can't, it's just a pickup.

to be fair i've never heard of someone who described humbuckers as compressed who didn't play some bullshit fender amp that turned into a farty mess with a somewhat hot pickup and have gray hair to match it

boutique pickups are just magnets and copper wire too. you are an idiot if you paid 200 bucks for that. there is no special mojo music magic that some old guy puts into the magnets that some chink doesn't. If there is a bad pickup, it's because the marketing team has purposely put bad (read $5) pickups into the budget model so that the expensive one sounds comparatively better. YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT.

Say I have 1 guitar, and no money, so I want to make that guitar a jack of all trades, I have 2 pickups that are meant to be quite good, but they are for Rock/Metal/Punk, can I put one of them in so I have that sound available, and then a totally different one in the other slot, so I can get 2 very distinctive sounds from the guitar?

One of those Les Paul Studios with the light finish (sometimes called "faded"). Get it on markdown. Just make sure it has a mahogany body and doesn't have dot inlays or some weird headstock (Gibson does weird things with Studio models from time to time), you should be good.

Not sure about other models, but the 2019 Studio comes with a hardshell case

I've bought numerous LP Studios brand new and the quality of the case has been all over from high-quality embossed deluxe cases to branded gig bags. No idea why Gibson has no standards behind this, but it may be a retailer thing. Either way, good quality used or aftermarket cases for Les Pauls are not hard to source.

It's not a boomer thing, it's a collector thing. When people acquire wealth, they start collecting shit: motorcycles, cars, guitars, wine, art, etc. It's just the guitars tend to be easier to get into and manage for most people who have _some_ disposable income but aren't wealthy, per se. They can buy the guitar(s) they always wanted when they were poor. They buy cars for the same reason, too.

If you play acoustic or classical

the short radius may be more comfortable for chords because your barre finger comfortably curves around the neck. with a flat neck, your finger needs to be flat, which might feel unnatural.

And video games destroy TVs. Hello Grandpa

Do I need a different amp for a bass? I have a fender blues jr. style amp, if I hooked a bass up to that would I blow it or if I keep it at a reasonable volume can I use it?

I have one of these and I have no idea what it does

very low volume might be ok but moderate level can blow it up.
25w guitar amp is equivalent to a 100w bass amp.

Makes it super easy to set action height and intonation.

What it does is hold the strings for the guitar to function

the one on the bottom just looks like the kind of response I'd expect from a paf style humbucker

by your logic, the pickup with the highest output is the best one, yes?

Fret Buzz please leave me.

Ready to ship

it won't blow it up, it'll just sound shitty because guitar amps dont put enough wattage on the low end, and guitar speakers aren't designed to output anything other than mud at bass frequencies

Just make sure it's routed HSS. You can always replace the pickguard and go back to a SSS configuration with Humbucker-router strat-types. I like a JB at the bridge position, personally, and i've even heard the single-coil sized JB's that scream so there's that , too.

If you're out of adjustments to make, take it to a luthier. Since this thread is what it is you probably have the average asian/mexican guitar with a poorly cut nut.

very retarded question
how to tell what chord is going on?
for instance in pic related.
the conclusion I arrived at is that it is G going on in these 3 separate notes because
>10th note in the A string is a G
>12th note in the D string is a D
>12th note in the B string is a B
>15th note in the E string is a G
and the G, B and D is the G major triad, therefore I concluded it is G behind these 3 separate notes.
is this completely retarded or am I right?

Go play it, see if you like it. If you're the kind of faggot who cares about where it was made then you should off yourself too.

Lol imagine playing smoke on the water on anything but an original fender strat

Botched circumcision. Ugly af dick.

Where do poorfags get this idea that you should buy a guitar that's crappy as you are? Is that how they justify having cheap guitars with bad tone?

>i-i don't even WANT that
>you have to be a pro shredder before you play anything but an NPC guitar or you aren't worthy

>Humbuckers
>Tune-o-matic

This guitar is pretending to be a jazzmaster

>cheap guitars are NPC guitars and I am no NPC! I am smart!
>I don't need to git gud, I can buy expensive guitars and get the same feeling of being good!

Because there are better guitars than this memetar

>he just has a nicer guitar because he thinks he doesn't have to practice, yeah...

Lol do you really think this

While you're drooling over the guitars you want and thinking about which pedals will fix your tone I'm practicing because I already have the guitar I want

Here is the overpriced set:

Whats the best compound radius size? 12-16?

Poor people come up with stuff like that so they feel wise instead of poor. Like some sort of ascetic guitar monk. In reality if you gave them $2k they'd buy a gibson in a heartbeat no matter how bad they were.

Its called poorfa/gg/ syndrome and this thread is rife with it.

Open or fretted?
Is it audible plugged in? If not, it doesn't need to be fixed.

and if you poke them enough they'll start saying you wasted your money, unaware that the cost of the guitar was pennies to you, because it was a fortune to them

if someone gave me $2k id buy a PRS, fuck Gibson and the shills they pay to post here.

If someone gave me $2k I'd spend another $2k and buy an ESP Snapper.

Honestly if you come to /gg/ with anything less than a Gibson Custom Shop, you're gunna be called a poorfag by some third world shitter who's home cost substantially less than the lowest end Gibson guitar.

Prs CE24 is best bang for buck

god thats ugly, you have poor taste.

p-pls resbond

t. is the one who actually has poor taste

Youd be laughed out of /gg/. Coulda bought a suhr

I like those but I cant get my mind off the PRS Silver Sky in Golden Mesa

Maybe I'll just send it back and buy something better from a shop.

Learn to read music

>Buying an ESP other than a horizon or M-II

The fuck outta here

It WILL damage your amp, most likely your speakers. Do not plug basses into guitar amps.

Consider that of three responses so far, two have mentioned amp damage. Think it's worth the risk?

good one. actually, youre probably too poor to have taste at all.

>but muh anime trannies

did u even read the post you cocksucking faggot

>He can't afford nice things so he calls them tacky and tasteless

Post your lambo
Oh wait you drive a "tasteful" camry

Of course you can sort of play anything with any guitar, but if you're going to play heavy metal, you want a bridge humbucker.

Reminds of the Jimi strat by Jibson. Just get a real authentic fender strat my dude. I like the PRS headstock but not enough to like it on a strat

there are expensive guitars that arent gaudy/tacky and tasteless. post your guitar right now faggot, with a timestamp.

Didnt you say please respond? I responded.

>the dick sommelier

I play heavy metal on my telecaster all the time. I was shredding on some Dream Theater earlier. it sounded great

you were saying...?

I have an authentic (...mexican) fender strat. still want the SS.

that guitar is ugly as fuck though user, regardless of price

>Non marshall owners will never know this feel
Get fucked soibois. Fuck offsets too.

no one said it was forbidden to play metal on a telecaster you absolutely faggot, it just won't sound as good.
Are you going to tell me it sounds better on a single coil than it would on a humbucker?

Telecaster doesnt mean it has to have single coils. Look at the john 5 model. Telecaster is a body shape

Snapper players: mamoru goriku, discount steve vai looks like a woman, and some anime chick
M-II and Horizon players: Rock and metal legends
Snapper: A strat clone
M-II and Horizon: Among the best all-around superstrats ever made, the others being the Jackson Dinky ("the" original) and the ibanez JEM. There are no other superstrats worth buying.

Don't buy a snapper, it's a waste of $4000.

>what? no! a swimming pool is a very tasteful guitar.

Attached: Kirk_Hammett_06_18.jpg (800x600, 335K)

Yes. I can share a youtube video with you if you would like. There are some good ones about how to achieve a better metal tone with single coils and it's better than humbuckers.

You must smear kaka on the backside of your pickups.

I still regret selling this thing. Those pickups are unreal.

There aren't really any chords, just dyads. Given that it's guitar music, I'd say probably Em in the first bar and G in the second.

>authentic
>mexican
It's a guitar, not day labor. Pick one, faggot.

>That jcm 2000 surrounded by trash
Dropped

and there are no strats worth buying except the actual fenders.

nobody makes a better strat, and then fender puts the final nail in the coffin by offering better quality at a lower price. you can't beat them at their own game.

Poser bitch

You might want to re-read my post, numbnuts.

No I'm not a drooler like you, I am busy practicing on the guitar I have and learning to sound good on it. While you are spending your time buying more and more pedals to fix your wimpy tone

thanks, looks like the texmex are exactly what I want, pretty balanced frequencys and not too bright/hot.

any affordable pickups with alnico III magnets out there though?

I don't care as long as they're my dings. Fuck "relic'ing"

I don't mind dings as long as the finish isn't chipped or cracked.

Thanks for posting I had lost the pic

...

if a bass pickup "overloads" a guitar amp, it'll just compress the fuck out of the bass frequencies. the only hardware that's generating any real electrical power is, in his case, the guitar amp, and it shouldn't blow any speakers unless it's something retarded like cranking a 100W amp into speakers rated for 50W

that said, playing a bass amp into a guitar cab will probably destroy the speakers pretty quickly

The idea is that the guitars sound ever so slightly different while unamped and that translates over to the pickups.
