Pretty good. Focus on playing it a little smoother. Also, pay a little more attention to the comping and add some notes from the chords the rhythm guitar is playing to break off from using strictly pentatonic notes.

post rare bodies

Trying to upgrade my Squier Jazzmaster. What should I look into? Ideally somewhere around the $500-600 range
I was just going to get new pickups and upgrade the one I have but the more I play it the more I realize it's just kind of a cheap instrument in general and not in a good fun noise rock-y way

>>72840928
Staytrem bridge

>>72840928
Awww, I really like my VM Jazzmaster, for exactly the reasons you mentioned; I use it for writing noise rock and shoegaze-y stuff and I love how the instruments' particular playability lends itself to those styles.

If you like the beefier sound of the Jazzmaster compared to other Fender models, I would suggest either a semi-hollowbody like a Gretsch, or maybe something like an SG. I started out playing on a Strat-style body, so when I got a JM it immediately made me appreciate how much more playable I find Strats which is why I decided to get a Strat and use it as my main guitar. So if you want that jangly single-coil clean sound then I would recommend a MIM Strat or Tele.

>>72840483
That's illegal in Australia.

What strings should I use to try New Standard Tuning (CGDAEG)? I'm using 10's on a 25.5" scale guitar and my B string really doesn't want to go higher than about C# or D.

>>72838827
Wrong twice

>>72842956
I really like outshined cause the chorus feels really powerful, also muh 7/4. Not a complex song by any means.

>>72842956
None. Soundgarden sucked and I'm glad I don't have to listen to Chris Cornell anymore

I'm stuck in a rut, I have a stock epiphone lp100 I'm not too fond of it, the strings rattle constantly and compared to every other guitar I've played it feels physically lacking.
I don't know if I should upgrade it's pickups or get a new guitar. It's kind of okay but I feel like any other average guitar would be better all around. Would a set-up fix most issues of the physical issues, or should I just get a new guitar?
Getting a new guitar kinda bothers me tho because my parents bought it for me as my first and I don't think I should get rid of it, but I feel like having more than one electric guitar would feel weird (it sounds retarded I know).
If I was going to another one I was thinking of a fender-style guitar (dirt cheap jazzmaster clone with p90s from local shop, with good reviews)

a bunch of engineering and physics guys from /sci/ are debunking the idea that anything other than electronics, scale length and set up, and player technique affect tone. They're saying that it's impossible for the wood, finish, or weight and mass or whatever to play any part in how the guitar will sound, and claiming that it's all snake oil from the guitar industry to make money and saying we're in the same level as audiophiles

glad I just built a partscaster with all used shit, my favorite neck shape, all satin, and best electronics for playability. I never bought that cork sniffer shit, sounds totally nuts to me. Pretty sure Claptons most famous guitars are partscasters.

>They're saying that it's impossible for the wood, finish, or weight and mass or whatever to play any part in how the guitar will sound, and claiming that it's all snake oil from the guitar industry to make money and saying we're in the same level as audiophiles
Absolutely. I proved this to myself a long time ago: record a few tracks through the same amplifier using cheap guitars and then use expensive guitars. Or use pedals and alternate between cheap distortions and expensive units.

Not only will most guitarists be unable to correctly guess what track is what, if you reveal that a track they liked was made with cheap equipment, they'll start to dislike it.

I never tried it with bass though. Do basses played clean through an amp have more of a variation?

Pretty sure froosh played a $50 squier through software one time to prove this point and made it sound better than anything I will ever play. Tone is in your fingers. You either play well or don't and I don't think expensive gear changes that, just practice

You can just walk into a guitar store, set an amp up, and bunch of several thousand dollar custom shop Stratocasters and then some squier classic vibe Stratocasters and they will sound pretty damn similar. What it's going through and how good you are matters infinitely more, no fucking question.

I have a question for any guitarists/basists, when you see muscians live what do you think of them jumping around or spinning around? Is it seen as a musical sin, or is it cool? I'm genuinely curious.
>Image is an example

>>72846220
It is. I'll listen to Eric Johnson play a classic vibe through software before a novice with Eric Johnsons personal gear because Eric Johnson sounds better. """TONE""" only matters if you are so good that you have exhausted your ability to significantly improve technically.

Nah, I try to move around quite a bit onstage myself because it helps me get over the anxiety that comes with live playing. And generally it adds more energy to live performance as a whole, which your audience will probably (hopefully) respond to. Now, if you're playing something REALLY technical, or like trad jazz or whatever, then you can probably be forgiven for opting to sit since the music is that much more at the focus of the performance.

My band did a show a few months ago and one of the opening bands played some of the most god-awful, mom- & dad-friendly, completely lacking in dynamics alternative rock and the bass player's body language throughout the show was like, the physical embodiment of the music: he started off by just standing still, then attempted to be entertaining by bouncing on the balls of his feet a little bit before sitting down on the drum riser for the remainder of the show. It pissed me off so much because why should I be excited or interested in your music if you can't? Like, I know your music is crap but at least TRY to convince me otherwise.

But yeah, with live performance I would generally encourage musicians to be physical and engage with the music as much as possible; it's a tradition that goes back centuries and for good reason.

Its the player that makes 7/10 of the tone. And the nuances in wood selection can be heard easier through a clean sound. Its a very subtle coloring that many may not hear. I know i dont like basswood and how evos sound through it. Very bassy. But they are fine in a mahogany body to me. The fact that wood alters vibration is objective but how it affects tone is subjective.

I actually could tell maple neck from rosewood on a YouTube video. It was subtle and I decided I didn't care enough about the difference to let it affect my decision. I suspect the glue on rosewood guitars has the effect rather than the wood.

The finish stuff is just marketing bullshit. Nitro finishes are bad finishes but traditional and require way more time to put on which is why they cost more. They wear off and look 'vintage' if you are going for that look.

I use pop punk as an example, but to any genre, when a musician plays live don't you want to see a memirable live performance. I understand alot of memorable performances come from emotion, but, the job of a musician, especially when you don't have e a complicated fill to play, is to hype up the crowd. Do any of you anons never move around when you perform live?

How necessary is it to have an amp?

I'm in the market but I'm wondering if id just be happier with a helix/fractal or a amplifi tt through my expensive hifi speakers.

It made sense 70 years ago I'll admit and the amp I want , fender blues deluxe sounds fan. But its 2017, modeling is good and my speakers are great.

how to stop calluses from falling off

>>72847642
Hifi speakers =/= monitors

>>72847642
all good enough modeling (aka a kemper) is pretty expensive compared to the amp you want. If thats the sound you are after (or you want to model your sound through pedals) and you aren't looking for all that ridiculous versatility modeling offers i don't see the point 2bh, just buy the amp.

>>72847655
Stop playing, let your skin toughen up. You don't want to have calluses.

>>72847773
how to make the skin toughen up
dont know if its actually callus, its the layer of skin thats falling

>>72847813
By stopping playing once your fingers start to get calluses. If you keep going and they build up to the point that they fall off you'll have to start from scratch again.

>>72847849
so stop playing in what sense? for days?

>>72847655
you're not playing enough I play everday and my calluses are thick as fuck like your moms ass

I still quote a study a guy did on Talkbass where he recorded a sample with his vintage Rickenbacker and then another with just the pups from it placed in a scrap wood bass. No discernible sonic difference.

Now, as for feel and endurance however, that's the only time price should be a factor. You can make a $200 guitar sound like a $2000 guitar, but it's much harder to get it to play like one. That's why I recommend finding cheap shit that plays great and will last, then hot rodding it.

The shape of the neck profile, the fret work, the ability to adjust and set up the instrument, the longevity of the parts used, and so on. Expensive guitars aren't just expensive parts. They're also hours and hours of hand labor spent getting things to feel right (or at least, they're supposed to be.)

learning by ear is patrician

>>72844936

they do make a difference, and it is really small. so both sides will peck at each other forever.

i think it was that chapman guy that made a video with one of their guitars with different body and they didn't sound quite the same on the clean channel. add any small amount of distortion and shit sounds exacly the same.

all in all, considering the whole sound chain, it's safe to say that it makes the least amount of difference, and adding saturation outright kills it.

>>72846203
What about it?

>>72844936
To be fair, they're right to some extent. There's a certain price point you hit where everything starts to sound the same within the bracket. I am still trying to find out where this price range starts and ends.

>>72852471
Any competent musician should be able to both learn music by ear and through sheet music.

No, I'm saying the opposite. They usually have additional problems. All the issues I mentioned in the original post are commonly concurrent with anything under a $700-800 or so.

There are diamonds in the rough though.

>>72852595
Exactly. You get a neck with a twist or a shitty truss rod and the work required to fix those issues is not worth a few hundred dollars more when that money could've been spent getting a better guitar in the first place.

You can find a decent electric or acoustic new for about two bills, half that used.

The line is blurred between $400 and $600. Then you get out of there to nicer stuff.

>>72848975
The one that I was talking about was a guitar that was fully assembled that you would stick your own pickups and other electronics in. It actually had a lot of good work put in, and was made out of decent wood (not the same stuff that you would find in $1000+ guitars, but it was not cheap stuff), and the veneer was thick and proper. Unfortunately, the store that sold it got shut down it appears.

>>72854335
Listen you faggot, most "debates" I have there usually end with people resorting to muh feels arguments. Only twice have I met an intellectual there with opposing views that pointed out weak points in my reasoning. But the majority is an echo chamber of the highest magnitude that resorts to one worded replies when they can't come up with a well supported rebuttal. Now let out all your clubhouse buzzwords. Go ahead, champ.

>>72854435
>>72848975
I should of also mentioned that it came with all the fake gibson stuff on it, like all the logos and a fake serial number too. But since fake guitars are targeted in customs a lot, you could request a custom logo if you wanted (it would cost a bit more if you wanted inlay work).

>>72854466

another evasion instead of an actual argument or rebuttal. like I said you obviously couldn't think your way out of a wet paper bag. if you were worth a shit you'd get to work on that but I think you and I both know you won't

Does anyone think neck width and shape makes any difference?

is the difference in sound between les pauls and SGs solely because of pickups spacing? the SG's thin body and lack of a maple top doesnt affect it?

>>72855477
You resorted to name calling because someone didn't like your containment board. You're defensive about a place that worships cartoon frogs. You're not even in an argument over anything, you're only showing rage for attention and validation.

Like how easily offended you are when someone shits on your echochamber? You linked a thread where envious edgelords make light of a recently dead musician to rile a reply ITT while we try to discuss guitars. Take a moment to reflect on that.

Staytrem bridge won't fix the issues I have with it. I don't have any problems with the bridge, I have problems with the build/electronics quality and the thing just not sounding great in general

>>72840998
I stuck with it at first because I liked that element of it but the more I play it the more I realize it's not as fun anymore. Plus ideally I just want to end up with one guitar I can keep for a few years and right now this is definitely not it.

I've played Strats and Teles and I definitely prefer my Jazzmaster to them. I'll look into a Gretsch or an SG, although I kinda liked the Jazzmaster being the middle ground between that and the Tele. I'm torn because I really just want a higher quality JM but the only ones I've seen that are really a big improvement over the VMJM are pushing the 800 dollar range.

>>72855771

Definitely makes a difference in comfort. I'd add scale length and neck finish too.
I don't think fretboard width is the one that's the most jarring, at least it's not what bothers me with my 8 string. But I play thumb on back and not on top, so it might change from people to people.

He's using at least two devices to post. One is a cell phone which posts thought his carrier and one is a computer at home that posts through an ISP. The Yotsuba and Yui pics posted were probably posted through his computer and the Cortfag posts are probably from the cell because there are no pics attached only a name. Also if he gets banned only one of the posters and all their posts disappears which makes the posts really look like two different people after the fact. He might even have more than two devices. He's made it really hard to tell.

Hey /gg/.

I'm a little lost when it comes to getting a decent cabinet. Right now I got an Orange Micro Terror and an Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff. Gonna possibly get a Bass Soul Food pedal, too. Question is I'd like a good cabinet for all of this. I was thinking the Peavey Headliner 210 but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone got tips?

Budget? New or used? Style of music? Are you playing guitar or bass through this gear?

>>72862337
Don't reply to me roman.

>>72862337
Shit, sorry.

Not too crazy. budget-wise. $300 is fine but I don't want to go over $500.
Bass playing, mainly. Fuzz rock like Black Sabbath, Truckfighters, early Electric Wizard.
Preferred new.

Also not afraid of stacks, though I'd prefer 10" or 12" speakers.

Anyone have experience with an Epiphone Sheraton II? It's a budget guitar but looks pretty good, what do you guys think?

>>72861685

>>72862476
First of all, I really recommend you get an actual bass amp. That micro terror cannot be producing that great of results.

As far as cabs in the $300-500 range new, TC Electronic is a great place to look. However, since these are bass cabs, they will have power ratings for bass amps, not guitar amps. Your Micro Terror is only 20W, while most bass cabs are 200W+. However, TC cabs can handle just about everything, so I highly recommend them. Hartke, GK, and Ampeg are also good options.
>>72862514
I'd really recommend avoiding Epiphone in general due to shoddy QC as always, but the one guy that brought one into my shop who kept complaining about his actually had a decent one of the lot.
Not familiar enough with semi-hollows to recommend another one in that range, unfortunately.

Hartke and GK are staples; they've been around for some time. For example, Victor Wooten and Flea use their cabs, respectively.

I fucking hate Roman, /gg/ was made for discussing guitars and theory but then comes some retard kid who plays Squiers and thinks he is edgy with his fucking rebbit spacing

kek someone put it this way once, roman is gee gees dracula
>can't be killed - undead - effectively immortal (can't be banned)
>doesn't have a reflection in a mirror because he doesn't have a specific personality or soul (no conscience - a soulless monster wearing a flesh mask to seem alive to lure his victims in)
>drinks blood from anuses he mutilates with shitposts (an unholy unquenchable thirst for the blood of innocents)
>lives in a casket in castle cellar during the day in transylvania

I already decided I'm going to sell it. That's not the question. The question is what I should replace it with.

The SVT‑210AV seems pretty promising. Hopefully it'll work well with my terror.

THe bottom support bar is upside-down.

I have the same $9.99 piece of shit stand from GC and it happens to me all the time when I pick up the guitar with the cord in, the support thing just spins around.

how far were you into your guitar playing when you realized strats were the be all end all of guitars?
