i've been buying up used washburns lately, the nuno line is a damn good guitar and the cheaper ones are great buys especially the used ones that people don't realize are good players. i got this one for $80. worked it over a bit, adjusted the truss and tightened up everything, new strings and viola, a great little player

Yeah. That's the thing with a good instrument. It can be played better than most people can play it, so as you practice YOU'RE the one getting better and you don't outgrow it. You learn things about it, it's reminiscent of having a relationship with a person.

Here's my stash! My first was my Jackson V. I happen to be a huge Pantera fan so I refit it with the same high output pickup line he used to be able to rip.
My second is my Iby 7 string. After getting really into Korn I loved the idea of playing one.
My third was my active pickup guitar I built myself. I put lots of work into it so it's my baby but it's exactly what I wanted it to be
>>
>>742759886
questions

what is your take on active pickups? worth the hassle?

what problems do you have with a V other than guitar stands? i've played them before and they just didn't feel right to me. i've got nothing against them, but it was almost like i didn't know where to put my arm, they just felt alien

The GIO 7 string i mentioned earlier.
>>
>>742760184
Nah. I have actives on both my 7 string and the one I built and honestly although there is difference in clarity and tone, they're very similar and not worth the hassle if you have a good passive. It's good to have but also a hassle. What kind of music do you play?

Sometimes with my V I hit corners but to this day I do not have any marks on the finish from doing so. I much prefer a V when I'm playing standing up, actually, because I can wedge one corner in between my legs in a specific manner for stability. They're also quite flashy so I love that too. It feels very strange and takes some getting used to but I honestly love the shape. Other than the hitting and not being able to sit down on the floor very comfortably with it, I haven't found too many problems!
>>
>>742761741
>What kind of music do you play?
just about anything i can get my head around, last thing i did was a sex pistols cover with a friend over the interweb. i didn't play for a lot of years then i picked it back up again once i had some money to toss around. when i was 19 i was a badass, now i'm just trying to get it back. i'm having a lot of fun picking up used guitars and bringing them back to life after someone that didn't know what they had sold them.

hell, maybe i'll try a V out, just because i didn't know how to hold them before means nothing, right? hell, i saw a used dimebag model just today, that isn't a V but it's still a shape maybe i could get used to. maybe. or a michael schenker black n white

Any of you get this weird thing with you're electric guitar where sometimes it messes up and the body starts emitting this fucked up ringing/ hollow rattle depending on certain frets.

It gets triggered if I play the guitar with the neck going higher than a 75 angle.

Eventually the problem goes away when i leave the guitar alone for a day or so.

Sorry for the explanation being so wonky. There's really no way to describe this problem.

never. that sounds very strange. especially the 75 degree angle thing.
i would say check for fucked wiring, but it's only on certain frets? that sounds like truss adjustment, but...possibly more than one problem. how expensive is this guitar, would it cost more to chase the problem than to just move on would be my question

Hey /b/ros guitar newfag here!
Always wanted to play guitar but never found the time or the money for it. Now i got this Gio Ibanez from a friend but i don't now shit about guitars... Is it good for beginners? And was 150€ too much for it (Also got a speaker from Ibanez with it)?
>>
>>742763711
it's fine for beginners, hell you can practice unplugged when you're just starting. Motivation is always a bigger hurdle for beginners than guitar quality

Thanks anons! Yeah motivation is a really hard thing to come up with, what makes it even harder, is that I'm moving right now... One question is left (please don't kill me for it) did you ever played Rocksmith? I thought it would be a good game for practice but now I'm not sure if it doesn't make it hard if I want to play with chords instead of colors and shit.

here's another GIO i had, i gave it away to some girl for christmas. yeah, i'm a real fucking sweatheart. point is, it was a good low rent guitar. i loved the HSH setup, i could get some nasty shit out of this one, and it was about $150 new
>>
>>742764822
don't do that. just don't. it's like thinking playing call of duty will make you a good with a gun. take that time and spend it practicing, playing along, whatever, just keep a real guitar in your hands
>>
>>742764822
it's fine, I play Rocksmith too. As long as it's not your only resource, you can play very sloppily and it won't penalize you for it so you have to be careful not to develop bad habits. Also make sure to flip the field in the options menu upside-down so it reads like real tabs. But aside from that it's a lot of fun and it's a good way to get to where you're actually playing along with real music

>>742764943
I think you're mixing up Rocksmith and Rockband, this one is the one that uses a real guitar
>>
>>742765094
>I think you're mixing up Rocksmith and Rockband, this one is the one that uses a real guitar

ah, ok, i see what the jist of your drift is. my mistake.

still, i'd rather see him sit down with a Led Zeppelin record in one hand and an Aerosmith record in the other and not get up until he could play them both. that's how i learned.
>>
>>742764943
The thing with Rocksmith is that you play it with a real guitar! You plug it in via USB (didnt even know that such cables exist) and have to "tune the guitar" (don't know if thats the right word for it) for different songs.
>>
>>742765205
I agree it definitely shouldn't be your one stop for learning the guitar, the lessons are pretty barebones. but if you ignore the arcade games and shit you can basically use it like interactive tabs, it's pretty good for selecting parts of the song and repeating it & speeding up until you get it locked in
>>

nah, not defensive, though i don't see a problem with being defensive in such an offensive world. point is, i can do anything i want, as can you. i can have 20 guitars, and you can have one. it's all about choices and the ability to make them for yourself. since i want to have a lot of guitars, i choose to do so.

Inbtween 65/66 Gibson ADJ45, most amazing tone I've ever heard on a non billionaire instrument.
Also for phun Stratocaster road worn, but I'm about to sell it

Lmao OP MG stacks suuuck
enjoy your shitty built in effects and transistor clipping because no one else does
>>
>>742768862
Tbf i've had a Mashall MG and the driven sound aint that good imo, the cleans are ok. I'm not really a tube fanatic either I use a roland jazz chorus at the mo and my drives come from pedals.
>>
>>742768922
>Fender mex telecaster
that's a strat dummy
>>
>>742768949
i like ibanez, and i really like the HSH setup. i get good sounds out of them. i've never played that model, but i'd say win just off the top of my head
>>
>>742769100
If the transistors on a modern SS amp are clipping that's nothing to do with the amp being shitty and everything to do with the player not knowing how to use a SS amp. They're meant to be played within the headroom.
>>
>>742769134
Lol, wut?
>>
>>742769103
ok, i'll take your opinion as fair enough. the smart ass that posted right above you though, he's just a pissed off child. we can discuss matters as adults without his type being allowed in the room ha ha
>>
>>742769334
that's my arctic white strat. a telecaster is a single cutaway, i'm sure you've seen one before
>>
>>742769280
some people just want to cry piss and moan. i've learned to ignore them, pretty much. trolls
>>
>>742769280
transistor-diode clipping..
You have tons of nice guitars and its just a shame to see someone waste them on a budget guitar amp. MGs are designed to be affordable not sound great. I work at a music store and everyone laughs when we bring in a big solid state stack.

I know, I was talking about my guitars.

>I work at a music store
oh christ, here we go. that's like saying "i work at mcdonalds, so that makes me a master chef"

get over yourself, you are a glorified cashier at a music store

>>742766892
I don't know much about guitars either but from what I understand different guitar series are made of different wood, ust different strings that are placed on different heights over the guitar neck and everything leads to a different slightly different tone which you can explain if you look at the wave propagation velocity, the different material parameters and resonance behaviour that lead to different harmonics.
I remember when I got my guitar, and the shop keeper asked me what style I want to play and he roled his eyes when he noticed I had no idea what he was talking about and he brought me "allrounders" to choose one. Unfortunately I am a 4chan fag who doesn't have his life under control and never found the inner peace to sit down and practice this damn thing. I went out, tried to meet worthwile people, failed and I'm depressed
>>
>>742769699
oh, ok, i understand. sorry for the mixup
>>
>>742769690
Do you use a distortion or drive pedal? If you do you'll be getting diode clipping from that. And oddly enough I don't see people getting anal about diode clipping from a Klon Centaur..

Whatever you want to think. Work is fun as hell. I'm just sayin, try out a DSL or JCM. It'll be worth it.

damn dude, get a grip. playing guitar is supposed to make you popular, not depress you
>>
>>742769929
actually, i'm thinking of a dual 12 fender for my next one, i love these small ones i have and i have played thru others before. i always got good sound out of them.
>>
>>742769875
I've been modding an SD-1 lately, its alright but not a huge fan.

Klons have very little diode clipping to begin with, (people say there is no difference swapping the diodes on klones) and I don't think a soul would say they are good in front of a SS amp
>>
>>742769429
Realistically mate, if you're a good player and you know how to dial in your amp and you have a decent cab (which you do) you'll be fine.

A lot of the snobbery about SS amps comes from the fact their experience consists of a solid state combo with a shitty speaker. Stick a Dumble OD special in front of a shitty speaker and it'll sound shitty. More often than not it's not actually the amp at fault.

Except for Line6 stuff, fuck line 6.

>dual 12 fender
a twin reverb? They are really heavy and do not break up at all. I'd only get one if I were into country.

Check the bassbreakers
>>
>>742770139
It depends on the SS amp. I run mine in front of a Roland JC120 and it sounds fine.
>>
>>742770160
>you'll be fine
as i am. danke for the backup. my shit is solid. some people just have a built in aversion to s/s amps. for whatever reason. if i decide that i want another head, i've still got 2 cabs and i can drive them with any damn thing i want. but i don't see anything wrong with this head, it is a good amp. and i've been around the block a few times, i know a POS when i see one
>>
>>742770306
most ppl use them as a boost to hit the preamp tubes hard, maybe a little drive to tighten the bass put a little hair on it. JC120s are fine amps though, I wouldn't mind having one
>>

>known by everyone with working ears
blah blah blah, i can get as many ears that say it sounds good as you can get that says it doesn't. it's monday morning, why aren't you at work?
>>
i dont know how to play
>>
>>742770627
because I don't work on Mondays.

I've got a Aria Pro 2 Mega Metal Series Stage 3 (yeah, that name tho). Made by Matsumoku factory in '86. It's a superstrat but, quite fine tho. coil split, push pull, killswitch. Very versatile guitar.
>>
>>
>>742770476
That is true, but I honestly seen somone run a Fulltone OCD in front of a Fender Deluxe and then talk about how tube breakup sounds more musical than SS.. He was running the the volume at like 10 o'clock

I think a lot of people don't know what the purpose of a tube amp actually is. I suspect that's why I see so many Mesa dual recs with Boss metal zones in front of them..
>>
>>742770860
ah, that would explain it
>>
>>742771034
what do you think of that jackson? are they worth a shit? i almost bought one, but don't know if want
>>
>>742771009
>Aria Pro 2
my Vantage is made by the same guys, i think it was a high line aria pro 2 but with a different name becasue aria had gotten bad press back then
>>
>>742771534
I like it but for me the neck is a little too flat for my taste. It sounds good and has loads of switching options.
>>
>>742771476
Yes indeed.
>>
>>742759128
Who the Fuck calls them ibbys ?
Wtf
>>
i have a picture somewhere of my fronting my band when i was like 18, but i can't find it ATM. i'll keep looking, but trust me, i looked super cool. problem is, i'm not 18 anymore. and that, gentlemen, sucks ass
>>
>>742771770
i do, they are my ibbys, and my washburns are washys. you got a fuckin problem with that?
>>
>>742771847
I call Gibsons Gibbabooos
>>
>>742771437
A DR at 10 will give you a little break up, especially boosted by an OCD. Tube amps do interact with pedals. That said, the majority of breakup was probs coming from the pedal. Its not total BS.

But naturally the Mesa-metalzone thing is just retarded

this isn't like the banana meme i hope, i can save this, right?
>>
>>742772055
and seriously, what the fuck do you think is wrong with a les paul and a strat? i use different guitars for different sounds and textures. just so happens that the les paul and the strat are very good at making those. typical comment by a 12 year old on mom's laptop
