best body shape is a 3/4 size strat but with the flat edges of a les paul
What's a good affordable tube bass head that can compete with a drummer and a guitarist playing a loud-ass Mesa Boogie Mk1?
This is the correct thread, because people are talking about guitars and bases.
'59 tele original parts, minor wear?
hi
69 thinline
i like the way les pauls look but is the body itself playable? even if the hardware sucks you can always replace that stuff, right? so how comfy/uncomfy is the body. ive heard it's pretty nasty.
Go play one and form your own opinions.
some peavey
A PA System
Tube bass amps suck. There's a reason you don't see a lot of them.
A bit thinner than it used to be.
sorry but i have too much anxiety to test out an instrument when i know im not going to buy anything for a while
GUESS WHAT TIME IS IT
mmm... menstrual blood ice cream...
Is there a good solid state that can give me that same warm fat sound?
Is this a real epiphone or a copy?
Grow a pair
yes
It's guitar center lol
truss rod cover looks funny. But why would one copy epiphones?
nice
I'm sure they made more than one copy.
Bullshit
Get a tube amp if that's what you want
It's true
Friendly reminder that the Rolling Stones is a ripoff band youtu.be
Not
*crack*
The body feels tiny if you're a big guy like me, feels like a toy when playing sitting down.
I want an SVT but they're expensive as fuck. Is there anything comparable?

DO you guys actually boil your strings?
Is this what gives you monkey powers?
Only my pure silver classical guitar strings, them shits expensive man
who would copy an epiphone ? chibson are usually made at the epiphone chingchong plant in a ghost shift.
Try to outclass my finger-picking. You can't.
Inspiring. Bout to go crack my own DP now
Guitar: no I'm not that cheap
Bass: lol clean strings are for fags
samuelson se faz presente?
tried once with bass strings, did make it feel much nicer to play and probably improved the toan a bit but it's a bit of a hassle. Better off buying a new set
by the way it the "feeling better to play" did not last long, which is why I didn't do it again
Sup guys? What's your favourite guitar?
It's only when trying to do stretches that you realize how much your tendons still are fucked. I tried to rate the wrist while keeping the thumb stretched and it hurt up to the arm. My fingers also constantly feel like they want to close. Thankfully my hands are not shaking anymore. Hopefully one day they will get smooth and easy again.
Yes, bass strings
It's what makes me get fatter and unhealthier
You answered it yourself. The copies are made by the Chinese. They reinvent themselves.
This one.
Pois não?
Bass strings aren't that cheap to make it worth it
What am I supposed to practice? There's like, so much shit to learn
How to into midwest emo guitar?
tap pull-offs into chords
testei um alien mars (combo) de um cara vendendo aqui na minha cidade, curti o som, a construção e tal, só fiquei com uma dúvida, nunca tive um valvulado, uns 15min depois de passar vergonha tocando qualquer coisa nas coxa tava um leve aroma de eletrônico quente (mas longe de ser cheiro de queimado) e aquela placa branca de aço onde ficam os knobs estava morna, tipo temperatura do sovaco. Toquei por mais um tempo e pareceu não esquentar mais, se manteve nessa temperatura. Normal?
Thinking about getting pic related. Seems pretty unusual. But it's still an epiphone.
Válvula esquenta
O meu Mars fica quente mas não dá cheiro não
Pergunta em algum grupo de amps no Facebook
Non-US market Epiphones have that headstock.
Estou chegando em casa, vou deixar meu amp ligado e ver se dá cheiro

>How do I start learning guitar/bass?
I bought a shitty acoustic for about £30. Taught myself how to play most of the Beatles back catalogue
well that's how the genre works, no one said it's fresh still
what do you know how to do so far?
Humbucker vs Single coil for neck position? Why?
Love this thing
Are they better than the regular epis? Or should I just buy a gibson studio? Seems like i'd only be missing the binding.
how do i do that?
They're Epis with a different headstock.
What a comically hideous thing that is.

Although I don't have one what does /gg/ think of clavinets?

I think the idea is cool, and if I ever got my shit together I would probably get one:
>You could play any shape open chord for any note.
>You can play in any key you want for maximum sharpness.
>It's probably like finger picking with both hands.
>You could play rhythm with one hand and lead with the other.
>And it doesn't sound like a piano.
What does /gg/ think?

Is there even any guitar genre that still has real progression going on?
ah got ya. into the trash it goes.
That was the wrong video. Here's the distortions one: youtube.com
>wood
Imagine limiting your toan this much
tocando um metro do ampli dava de sentir não, pondo rosto bem perto da abertura traseira.
Quando terminei o test drive eu olhei bem a válvula do power, que nesse caso é a 6L6, e não tava dando redplate. Pelo que pesquisei o gógle é normal não só amplificador, mas outras coisas valvuladas das antigas, como TV, soltarem esse cheiro.
quase certo que é apenas cabacisse minha misturado com inexperiência.
Aquela placa de aço chega a dar uma aquecida então? A válvula sei que esquenta, só estava preocupado com essa parte dando uma esquentadinha também

Trying to ID this old guitar but the only identifying information I can find is that it says "87 № 26599" on the inside.
Does the fact that there's no brand name on it mean that it's a cheap one?

It's plywood construction so a cheap guitar for sure. Probably 60s or 70s judging by the font.

Well remembered, thanks
Also funnily enough that strap may be worth more than the guitar if it's vintage. Check to see who makes it.

Nothing on the other end either (checked the backside too). Some of the embroidery is also coming undone so it's not in great condition.
Anybody here have any advice for how to mute the strings your not playing with your right hand? I'm just learning how to reduce string noise and I'm getting the hang of it but I'm not sure if I'm doing the right hand part correctly. Where should my hand be resting when I'm not muting any strings? Is there any trick to this or do I just put my palm on the e string and roll it down the strings as I'm playing? If you know any good video tutorials that would be cool.
>beating a dead horse is innovative
I beat your mom's horsepussy
Lmao
lol
It's a parlor guitar. I'm gonna guess it's a 70's Japanese guitar, they (the Japs) flooded the market with guitars like that back then. It could be a Suzuki, or just a nameless brand every music store had stacks of. The best advice is to go search Google for that headstock shape, inlay, and soundhole inlay, and see if you can find similar.
The really collectible stuff will have a logo or a tag inside the body identifying it.
Probably not a bad guitar, per se, how does it play? It looks like it was well cared for, so it might be worth hanging onto and taking care of.
my nigga. I saw her play last year
Thanks for that info. I'm a beginner player and have nothing to compare it to. Can't record a video of me playing it because it's the middle of the night for me and people are sleeping.
I mostly just wanted to know if I'm stunting myself by learning to play on a shit guitar.
Anything by Steve Stine and Jens Larsen. They're two of the best guitar teachers I've come across over the years.

Not a single one of you actually plays guitar.
>the joiner

The only issue is you'll have some issues switching from a nylon acoustic to an electric, but that should be fine for learning on, as long as the neck is in good shape. If you can afford it, take it to a guitar shop and have them take a look at it. Have them show you how to string it, etc.
We win.

Looking for a guitar that looks like this Bass, preferably by Ibanez and in the price range of about 200€, is it gonna be good for a starter? I've been playing since two months and want a new guitar since the one I dont like the one I bought for 80€ (which was kinda stupid now that I think about it).

if you are going to use solely the pedal for the gain, metalzone.
if you are using amp drive + pedal, comes down to preference though I don't like much ds1 with the gain higher than 12o'clock except for some occasional solos.
as always, the ideal is trying out
Those aren't p90s.
Is an HS Tele with a low output bridge humbucker a good combo?
For what?
Just anything really. I just want a more quiet position to play in under higher gain
would strongly recommend thos mini buckers so you don't have to change bridges
well sure, I'd be going with single coil sized humbuckers that fit a Tele
You are correct
Got a fender gt40 for only 435.99 CAD$. Pretty sweet. any tips on how to update it?

... The bass part of that song was definitely played with a pick.
how do people jam? im going to try to form a band and have rarely played with others before. do we say a chord or scale and play notes from it until it sounds good? do we all just play whatever and try to match? I play bass and dont know chords so im fucked if thats required.
HS tele should be neck hum
>He dont know bout chris
What do I do once I get my Jazzmaster lads? Any setup tips? Will it come with strings attached or do I need to string it?
Anyone try this brand string?
Most jams are based off of a given key. Usually someone (keyboards and/or guitar) will start with an idea like a riff or chord progression and the rhythm will fall in behind them, then each musician will take turns improvising a solo.
sell it and buy a flying v. Jazzmasters are uncomfortable.
ah thanks man, that makes more sense. if a chord progression is chosen does that mean the bassist would only play notes from the chord during the chord or would it be ok to play all notes from the key?
It'll come strung. If it feels uncomfortable or buzzes then take it to a music store and pay for a setup.
Yeah. Tried lots of brands actually, but don't ask me if they're any good. I never heard a different between brands, except for that one time when I tried those $2.50 offbrand strings. They were shit. Everything else sounds absolutely the same to me. So I just stick to Elixir because they last me a year or more.
Where’d you go?
Man, orange amps suck ass. What a disgusting sound.
I bought one for my Jazzmaster should I return it?
/gg/ said the Flying V sucked as a first guitar
youtube musicians are literally the worst people in the entire music community, after pretentious boomers ofcourse
Jens Larsen is actually not a good teacher and Ill explain why. There is a phenomenon as a guitar teacher where you want to keep students dependent on you as long as possible. Its not really possible to continue to churn out lessons for years with useful information. If you go to Jazz school, after 4 years you come out playing proficient jazz, so how can he sustain a channel for years upon years? He does this by going the muh theory route. This is the scale use these chords do these exercises come back next week. Thats like me teaching you the alphabet, how the letters sound phonetically and then saying "ok make up some words. youll be speaking in no time" No you will never learn a language that way. If you want to learn Jazz you memorize 400 standards. You can get through 200 in the 4 years of jazz school and be pretty damn good. Its a vocabulary. Listen to jazz everyday and learn songs. Just like any other language. If you learn scales you just sound like a blind man wondering through the forest playing shitty lines. Please discard Jens from your education diet. He is a charlatan and taking you for an endless ride.

Just passing through but are you projecting user? Who exactly got mad?
You forgot to reply to someone
Depends on what kind of vibe you want to bring out. If the rhythm is tight or almost kind of like a funk beat, it might be better to stick to a few simple chord tones and really emphasize the rhythm so that the keys, guitar, or horns can add color with extended chords or melody lines. If there is more musical space then you can sort of float over the top with a cool melodic bass line with off-the-cuff fills. Check out BADBADNOTGOOD to get a sense of how to approach music in more of a jam context.
I'd say the most important thing in any jam session is to focus on developing your ideas. Don't be afraid of repetition but maybe give some thought to where the music is telling you to go and use that to move from one idea to another. Maybe start out riffing on a pentatonic pattern. Then move it up an octave. Then add a flat 5 for a bluesy feel. Go from playing whole notes to eighth notes, then get into a swing groove with the drummer. I don't think any chord progression you jam on will end up being overly complicated (unless you guys are all playing Real Book tunes), so focus on starting with simple ideas rather than running through scales.
I'll see if I can find a sample of a jam I've recorded.

Why on earth should I be banned for buying a Jazzmaster and wanting to learn?
Cause you didnt go with your heart that's why.
But the Flying V was more expensive and bad for beginners. I would like to learn sitting down without some outrgeous posture.
If you actually follow Jens Larsen's channel, he has a fuckload of videos where he transcribes a bunch of licks usually all by a single guitarist on a few different recordings and explains how those licks contribute to that musician's style and where their vocabulary is coming from. I've found them incredibly useful because once you know what's going on you start to hear it in other jazz playing and it makes studying vocabulary easier on your own. I've never found any of his videos particularly scale-heavy, and any jazz guitar player will do SOME studying of melodic minor and bebop scales and chord-scale theory at some point.
Also, no one memorizes 400 standards. I'm a jazz musician that performs in a major city regularly and most other jazz musicians' repertoire consists of 100 or so because so many tunes use recycled progressions like Rhythm Changes, Autumn Leaves, All Blues, Billie's Bounce, etc. and musicians can quickly adapt new material at jam sessions with a good base knowledge ("okay, we're gonna do Mr. PC." "What's that?" "It's just a blues in C minor." "Ah, okay.")
One day, when you have your V. You'll come back and still be called a faggot. Embrace it now so that you can thrive later.

what do yall think of the mix on my shoegaze track. bass is supposed to be prominent. first succesful foray into this genre.
the hit hat is literally just slapped on top and the fuzz is so strong on the bass it's approaching noise rock
yea the second half is more like psychocandy inspired. honestly all of it is.
rectifiers are really two LEDs in one desu
Found a jam, since we're posting them.
This was improvised to fill time at a last-minute opening gig. Apologies for the bass being over-mixed here, it was mic'd a bit too loud in the PA. I tried EQ'ing it on my phone so it sounds slightly better.
I'm left handed, is it worth actually learning guitar left handed for me? I've given both a little bit of "practice" but when I absentmindedly try to air guitar it's left handed.

Fuck you I am excited for my Jazzmaster it comes Wednesday.
I played one of these. A friend's boomer dad has two of them.
It was really, really not what it's hyped up to be. As a guitar that's meant to be played I don't think it's much better than anything else made in a first world country. I believe the target audience is pros with endorsements from gibson (you always play the best your endorser has, or you're saying their cheaper shit is good enough) and boomers who don't actually play guitar but have a fetish for owning them.
Imm side with all the pros who don't give a fuck about gibson and say I'd rather buy fender custom shop. Strats, and superstrats, just feel better in your hand. Maybe les pauls are appealing to people with smaller hands?

Gibson posting in a nutshell
old nitro was good, but brittle and aged quickly.

>samefagging reddit spacer
lawlz
I really like the way old nitro aged.
I think Fender got it right with the thin skin finish on some of their reissues and custom shop models. I can't stand the thickness on the rest of the Fender nitro and Gibson uses so much plasticisor that they might as well use poly.
reddit spacing is a newfag meme invented by Yea Forums cancer
Some people are mad at stuff they could afford but can't anymore now that they already bought something. These are the worst because they actively go around shitting on everything else to feel better about the tough choice they made. Regular sour-grapers are quiet until you remind them that they're poor.
And yet somehow, jcum is both. He wants, but can't afford a gibson, and he spent all his money on an MIA strat.
imagine wanting a gibson and having a chance at saving up enough money for a nice used les paul standard, but spending it all on a shitty korean dean and a $1000 stratocaster.
Should I get a seven string if I want to play Russian folk songs? Or just get a regular guitar like a normal person?

7 string downside 4: there's limited selection of boutique pickups, so it's harder to mimic the tone of your favorite guitarist unless they play a 7 string too
7 string downside 5: people will think you play metal and are just too lazy to downtune
7 string downside 6: actually using the seventh string is harder than using the sixth string unless your hands are big
7 string downside 7: you don't need seven strings to play the only good guitar music: blues rock.
honestly I want to play guitar, and I see these threads, and just get discouraged because I assume everyone is trolling and nothing can be trusted.
SG is better
Sexy ngl
It's mostly really bad/new guitarists trying to fix their personal cognitive dissonance
>guy who wants gibson, can't afford: don't buy a gibson, they have QC issues
>guy who owns a gibson, wife won't let him buy anything else: gibsons are the best guitars on earth. if you don't want one, you probably just can't afford it.
>guy who owns multiple cheap guitars: you really don't need to spend more than $1000 on a guitar. you can get a perfectly giggable axe for $500. anything more is just excessive markup because the pickups are brand name.
>guy who owns a kemper: kempers sound exactly like tube amps
>guy who spent $1000+ on a tube amp: nothing beats real tube tone, idiot
>PRS S2 owner: tonewood is real. same for tonefrets, tonenuts, tonesaddles, tonetuners...
>PRS SE owner: it stands for student edition, not shit edition
>ESP owner: ibanez costs half as much because it's half the guitar
>E-II owner: it's a real ESP!
>fender starter pack player: well real guitarists don't care about gear

i don't know fren, but if i was a homosexual gibson fanboy i'd be mad all the time

He's foaming at the mouth.
you seem to like it a bit too much, it's a little unsettling
imagine being this angry on Yea Forums lol
even your safe words are odd
dance, puppet, dance!
you really shouldn't call me daddy, it can't be healthy
look at him go!

i'm sure your real father's out there somewhere

which reminds me, did you get tested like i told you to?
i'm not even going to post after this but he's still going to respond to get the last word in lol
cause all my bitches got to be clean, especially the dirty ones
I win.
which brings us back to that shower
alright Yea Forums, how'd we do? (I know that the drum machine sounds like a meat packing plant, I know that the mix is shit, we were using the settings from another project and I hit "record" during an improvised jam over a static drum machine loop, the bassist and myself, and I cut out the even more boring parts). In retrospect I definitely wish that I had forced him to run parallel between the DI / his chain and the POG2 because he's a fairly green bass player and his consistency would've benefited from his compressor at the beginning of his chain - total PITA to mix. Not that there aren't workarounds, but not ones I'm willing to bother with for diminishing returns at the margins for a one-off.
everything's digital-cucked.
I've been playing for over a decade, self-taught (have had training with other instruments but not stringed or fretted instruments) but I've only recently started using a wah (Ibanez WD-7, gift) so I'm still trying to get the hang of it, mechanically, and not sound like a kirk hammett/frampton ripoff. I'm pretty proud of how the solos turned out, given that it was all improvised and my bassist friend doesn't really give me much of a palette to work with - it's consummate dadrock but I had fun. what do you think?
fuck OFF sammy
Dude how did reaching that take a fucking decade?
idk who sammy is dude but I appreciate the sentiment
>9gag reaction images
kys turd FUCK nobody cares
It didn't take a decade, certainly wouldn't if it were a practiced piece and not a hobbyist jamming with a friend in a single take. if I wanted feedback on technical passages I'd post those, but that's not the point of sharing this my dude
tfw socially stunted NEET can't appreciate ironic boomer memes
I know you're under 21 or you're so bitter that your interpersonal relations are in shambles. come back to the light, friend.
