hold old were you when you realized that bass was the most important instrument in any band when utilized correctly?

>>72987229
people who choose bass are saints desu

autistic people go straight for the guitar, myself included

>>72987259
I know that a band needs it. it's still a fucking boring instrument that bad guitarists should be playing

>>72987229
I don't believe that's true. When bands are forming, there's always two or three guitarists and the most beta one gets relegated to bass

>>72987307
i know right, it should be that way

spoken like a true pleb. it's only boring if you fucking play root notes

punk bands used it shittily and post punk bands realized that it could be used in a great way

but i mean jazz and prog and pop bands have been using bass in a perfect way forever

fucking even the strokes got it right. bassline on is this it is the most interesting part of the whole song

>it's only boring if you fucking play root notes
Root notes don't deserve the hate they get. Sure it may not be flashy, but that shit in the right parts can make a song solid as fuck. Just make sure you're not the bassist so you can do the fun stuff

>>72987345
>bassline on is this it is the most interesting part of the whole song
maybe cause the song sucks

>tfw nothing could be further from the truth

I would love to take over Rickenbacker. I'd release far-eastern made budget versions of the 4003 bass and flood the market with them. Then stop making guitars entirely and just make basses but with proper electronics, truss rods that work like Fender truss rods, pickups strong enough to actually drive a fucking amp, fretwire that doesn't rub off the first time you fret a note and a host of other improvements.

Can someone tab out Ravens by mount eerie for me? I'll post a cute pic of my dog.

Reminder that the Gibson™ Les Paul™ is the 10/10 woman of guitars.

Thick curvy body, lewd neck, sensual moans.

I've played a Tele for 10 years and to be honest a super strat is probably going to be a better guitar 9/10. The Tele is an untameable lion though makes you really focus on tone.

>there are people who are bassists by choice
Depends on the song. Sometimes I like playing bass more than guitar.

Best high-gain overdrive/distortion? I am looking for a decent pedal under $150 that can get some sweet high-gain toanz. Also, best noise suppresor for the money? I am looking for one that doesn't suck out toanz.

did you know you can use glasses as a makeshift capo?

Looks bretty good mante, I will check it out. Now, about the Boss pedal, I have heard mixed reviews about it. Have you ever had any experience with it? I was deciding between the boss one, and the isp decimator, leaning towards the decimator tho.

>>72988543
Ill sell you my vintage mxr distortion for 200 bux. Its the germanium one.

>>72988574
Rack noise gate is best. But pricey. Yeah the blackstar has a few variations of the pedal look into it.

>>72988559

I got relegated to bass because I owned a bass setup for my home recordings and when my band found that out the drummer recruited his best friend who acts like Billie Joe Armstrong and the Frontman for Sum 41 but doesn't commit because he gets "stage anxiety" and refers to notes as "1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th frets." Whenever we improvise jam he just plays the open E chord on his freeze pedal as he checks his phone. Im so glad I'm leaving these guys next month, they started talking about being a cover band for neighborhood block parties because it "pays well"

>>72988736
A trap

>>72988836
Thing with active preamps is, if you've got a noisy signal going into the preamp then it'll quite happily amplify that noise into a louder noise.

Shield all the cavities, connect all the shielding tape to the ground of the jack. Because if you don't ground the tape then you might as well not bother shielding the guitar.

Working bass players have better ears than working guitar players as its way worse if a bass player can't follow the changes.

So I want to start learning guitar, what do I need to do?
What is a good guitar for a beginner to buy, that's also cheap?

>>72989325

Hard way

>acoustic
>12 bar blues
>folk
>60s singer songwriter
>classical pieces

Easy way

>electric
>punk
>grunge
>rock
>metal

In that order.

Buy a beginners "my first guitar" songbook.

>>72989325
First things is save up about 1k

>>72988763
Lmao

>>72989394
What do you think about starting with a steel stringed acoustic guitar

>>72989394
>>electric
>>punk
>>grunge
>>rock
>>metal
No.
Genres have nothing to do with difficulty, OSDM or thrash metal are baby tier difficulty and completely not comparable to classical pieces.

Also where's jazz or funk ? Why not blues on electric ?

I could go on but the point's that it's not a very good list.

>>72988475

Then learn how to move these basic chords across the fretboard. Then play some Van Halen and Amon Amarth.

Youre welcome. Pro tip: if youre poor you can use electric guitar strings on an acoustic.

>>72989972
I bet you've got that blooz toan just right now. Just like it's still the 1970s. Just like your music is somehow imaginative, creative or vaguely fucking relevant to anyone under the age of 60.

How do I learn to play a single basic chord all through the fretboard? Like playing a G chord really high up on the fretboard? I've been told it's the CAGED system but I found the explanations online confusing.

>>72990537

>>72990503

Transcribe. The real secret it to start being able to hear all the note of a harmony moving fast through jazz changes. So many different things come together to be able to hear jazz changes I think just playing through the changes of a jazz song you transcribed the harmony to in all keys is the first step. I personally I have been trying to sing arpeggios through changes to internalize sounds but at the end of the day the only skill that matters is that you can play what you hear as I usually just say fuck it and do that balls to the walls.

tons of youtube tutorials dude. Just keep playing, ear training is just as important as anything else.

First how about just turn on some music you like and fiddle with the bass on an intimate level. This will give you a better feel for it. Then tomorrow try learning more technical applications

so my guitar has this buzzing noise and i'm pretty sure that it was soldered wrong back a few years ago and i haven't bothered with it since.. now i think the problem is that the two cables going to the jack are backwards. is there any way of confirming this before taking it in to the shop?

Not unless you have a multimeter or some other way of checking continuity from the bridge plate to the tip of a jack lead.

Learn to solder, learn to fix your own shit. You're a moron if you need to pay someone $$$ to swap two wires over.

currently looking at a used fender hot rod deluxe iii.

anyone have any experience with them?

>>72997464
Listen to a lot of prog, first of all. Except Dream Theater, don't listen to them. A lot of modern prog can be traced back to some of King Crimson's early work, so they're a great place to start because the precedent they set for prog music is still very much present in the works of bands like The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, and Mastodon.

Conventions of prog rock include:
Unusual or odd-meter time signatures
Unconventional song structures (for example, Coheed & Cambria's use of terminally climactic form)
Emphasis on technical ability with any given instrument in the ensemble

Generally prog rock/metal is fairly theory-oriented so brushing up on some basic to intermediate theory would be helpful: you should at least know your modes, seventh chords, and general diatonic theory to help you with songwriting/composition.

Source: I play guitar and keys in a prog rock band and also just listen to a lot of prog because I'm a gigantic nerd.

How y'all digging this?

>>72998423
i dont think the pipsqueak is his boss

though its funny how he struggles through the same fuckin lick every time, on every video

>>72998513
His name's Lee Anderton, I'm fairly certain he's the boss of Andertons Music

ok, I've tried this before and not got any response so let's do it again

who's in Manchester now, hasn't been blown up and wants a FREE Sound City 120 Watt valve head? it's sat here taking up space and gathering dust and I can't ebay it because it weighs a ton and no one will pay shipping on it. so yeah, FREE valve amp with six original 1970s Mullard EL34 tubes in the back, give me a shout if you're in driving distance of Stockport.

>>72998762
Is this some kind of scam bullshit? If you don't care about money, you could still make some on it. Just call music store near by and say you can sell this shit to them for like third of the price. Or just put on some local buy/sell website type of thing. Somebody will pick it up.

>>72998810
No scam, I only paid £60 from Johnny Roadhouse years ago. Like, 25 years ago. It's got dried out filter caps so it could use a service from an amp tech so it's not got any resale value. I really just want it gone, it's a pretty good amp for someone looking for a loud amp to gig with.

>>72998762
You still haven't got rid of it? Honestly, just take it to a music store brudda.

>how much will you give me for this
>about tree fiddy
>ugh, i was thinking more around tree fiddy 5
>most i can do is tree fiddy 3
>i can make that work

Even 40 bucks is better than zilch

>>72998840
I could do that but it's a pain in the arse lugging it there then having them offer me peanuts for it. Plus it's almost too heavy to move, the chassis is welded steel and the transformers are frickin huge. I'd rather give it away to encourage a young guitar player to get gigging. If someone had given me a massive valve amp when I was starting out then I'd be well chuffed.

>>72998831
Sound City are damn good amps. Only because it needs some service doesn't make it lose all resell value. Anyway, if this this for real it's a really nice gesture on your side. Just hope if somebody gets it for free they will enjoy using it, not make a good buck on somebodies good will. Just saying. You can sell that thing without lifting your ass off the couch.

>>72998831
I can't find any info on the head. FedEx has a rate calculator for international shipping, but since I can't find any info on the head I can't get something accurate. If shipping to Detroit, MI USA is relatively reasonable I think we can figure something out. I'm a wannabe amp tech so replacing filter caps will be cake, as I'm sure the conversion of mains will be too.

>>72998864
http://soundcitysite.com/photo_page_6.htm

Built like a tank. In fact you could throw this amp at a tank and stop it dead in its tracks.

>>72998854
Seriously, I've advertised it and there's no takers. Everyone wants smaller portable amps or bedroom amps, this thing's a dinosaur. I'd be happier giving it away to someone who might use it.

>>72998864
You can find few of them on reverb. They go for about thousand USD and up. These prices can be slightly exaggerated by people selling them, especially considering it's an old amp out of production. Hard to put a price on that kind of stuff.

>>72998854
Yeah, I see what you mean. You could probably replace the caps yourself. Is it turret/eyelet board or pcb? If the former then it will be cake. You could do it with a cheap soldering iron. It might sound weird, but here in the states this time of year is when the high schools start hosting musical performances, I played for like 6 of them in highschool. Maybe check for something like that if you don't mind doing a littke footwork.

If you want to do a good deed disregard this >>72998864 I'm an amp hoarder, I have like 7 nice amps already. I don't need help with that.

>>72998864
>I can't find any info on the head.

This conveys some of the sense of how fucking loud these amps are.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pefc49mFH7k

>>72998901
It's all point to point wired inside. I had to change one valve base a while ago after it decided to arc over so I could replace the caps but I've got a million other electronics projects on and none of those are getting finished so this amp is really bottom of a deep pile.

>>72998910
That's pretty sweet, i honestly like the way that sounds too. Is yours the L120? Trying to find dimensions and weight.

>>72998949
Yes, same amp as the one in that video and the same gut-wrenching eardrum-shattering wall of sound from it. The head's a bit bigger than a modern Marshall. And about twice the weight.

>>72998925
I know exactly what you mean brother, i got 5 pedal builds set ready to start, and my buddy wants me to build a tweed deluxe for him among several repairs i got lined up. Just got into a new house and haven't had the chance to build a work bench yet.

>>72998965
I'll be honest, part of the reason I haven't done the caps is because I'm terrified of the HT supply on this amp. Marshalls are scary with 550V or so but I think this thing uses 800V DC and that's more than likely to stop your heart if you make a mistake.

>>72998957
Also, that amp is dialled all the way up and it's just doing a fairly gentle overdrive. That's the thing with Sound City amps, they have shitloads of clean headroom and they stay really clean even at gig volume. He's playing at brain damage volume there so the EL34s are breaking up beautifully, try that outside of a rehearsal room and you'd have the cops round.

I went through the fedex thing, $300 my end, i'd want to throw you a $100 at least if nothing else for the hassle. But it looks like it'd be a severe pain in your ass to do this.

Important for Customs: To prevent delays, your shipment must have the following customs documents attached: Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, Shippers Export Declaration. Additional clearance documents may also be required. For more information, please visit our international tools site.

It'd be 2 weeks before I could move ahead on it though. I'd honestly feel bad about asking you to go through for but much pay off, but like I said I just got a new house so I'm kinda strapped for cash.

>>72999055
That's weird, I've imported loads of stuff into the UK without all those documents. And yeah, I really can't ship this thing anywhere, it's difficult enough shifting it into the back of a van. Plus all those ancient Mullard tubes would probably just be so much broken glass by the time it arrives.

>>72999096
Would $101 dollars change your mind?

Seriously though, seems like a solid amp. Hope you find someone deserving to pass it off to

>>72999096
Also, if by import you mean bought from someone else it's the shipper's responsibility. In all likelyhood nothing will happen, but if something throws a red flag(especially in the states) it might get held indefinitely.

>>72997623

Its the worst sounding black face amp and the worst sounding distortion amp. Get an ampeg VL-503 or Fender Super Sonic 22 instead.

The ampeg is blackface channel 1, Mark IIc+ channel 2, and high gain marshal channel 3. Its goat.

The Super sonic is a Deluxe reverb with 2 gain drives so you can get a british marshall tone or a California mesa tone.

Much much better amps.

next year maybe they'll release an updated version with an actual cutaway, the upmost frets look uncomfortable and since it's ye olde gibson it's probably 24.75" as well

>>73001608
Last time I took a guitar to the repair guy here he was working on a 1980s Gibson and cursing it because the frets were all in the wrong place. They made some with 24.75 inch scale, some had 24.5 and this one had 24.25 inch scale. The guy showed me with a fret ruler, it was nowhere near what it should have been.

But yeah, muh Gibson craftsmanship.

Just saw a demo for that myself. Interesting pedal, I would probably get one if I didn't already have separate pedals that more or less do what it does. For all that it does it seems like each setting has a pretty limited range too, but that's probably the fault of the guys doing the demos. Still it's cool to have all those effects in one box. It would be great for a compact ambient/drone setup.

This is what jazz does. Jazz destroys lives.

Not even once.

>>73002643
You've got to keep your comping minimal,more textural than anything, don't feel the need to stand out all the time. Some guitarists like Grant Green almost didn't comp at all. Bands like that are the easiest to be in since your comping can be ultra basic. People coming from rock are used to the guitar being a cocky instrument, up front all the time. In jazz you've got to learn to lean way back.


This album is a great lesson on comping with a piano player, listen to how sparse Jim Hall's playing is.
