How to distinguish original B.C.Rich stealth from the Chuck Schuldiner tribute version?

Does Guitar Translate to Bass well?
I want to record each separate parts because I don't have a band yet but I don't know if I should buy a cheap bass to practice with or just buy a MIM standard like my other gear.

Are there any alternatives to EHX Ring Thing?

>>68954008
The notes are the same as the 4 low strings on guitar, but everything else is pretty different.

>>68954002
The Chuck Schuldiner one is black, only has a bridge pickup, and has diamond inlays.
>>68954032
Lots of ring modulators out there

>>68954095
Ring mod/harmonizer in one pedal particularly

>>68954002
serial number, or electronics, the Chuck Schuldiner version only has one Dimarzio X2N and volume knob. Which isn't a bad pickup, but only having it without any tone knob or other pickup make it not that versatile

>>68954008
throw the chords out of the equation, and you'll have to relearn the whole right hand technique, unless you play with a pick, or play classical
buying a used MiM is a good idea as it'll retain most of its value anyway.
Also if you play vertically a lot (which is my case), you'll find it really annoying to only have 4 strings and having to move around the neck so much.

>>68954135
Man. Everything is telling me I should be playing bass instead of guitar. Convince me to not buy a Rondo /gg/

Responding to the post in the last thread, I think the HH Jazzy is the best under 1k Jazzmater but the fact that it doesn't have jm pickups ruins it.

>>68954095

Man I love that fucking guitar and I'm an alternative/punk faggot that only plays Jazzmasters.

Well, here he is with two original ones and they also feature only one pick up/volume knob

what do i do if my shit guitar's intonation doesn't change at all when i try setting it up?
I haven't and don't want to mess with the truss rod and delicate shit like that

>>68954239
>I haven't and don't want to mess with the truss rod and delicate shit like that
something tells me this is where the problem lies

How do I get the woman tone?

>>68954185

I mean for 1k I'd just get a used Japanese or a new Classic Lacquer.

>>68954183
>Convince me to not buy a Rondo /gg/
That's personal, but 5 string Ibanez SR are the comfiest low-mid tier basses I've ever tried.
Bass is fucking fun though, go for it if you can.
I wish I had money for a bass rig.

>>68954185
speaking about JM pickups, is there a similarily voiced pickup for 7 string guitars ? It would be neat.

>>68954239
If you want to setup the guitar, you need to setup the truss rod, there's no way around.
However it might just be that your guitar is simply shit. Mine has wonky intonation on the high E and the saddle needs to be really forward to sound right.

>>68954256
>>68954286
well, it's not that i don't want to mess with truss rod but more like i lack the tools to do so and i just quit my job so i can't go with a luthier at the moment.
Does lifting the tune o matic bridge a bit change intonation?

>>68954341
also is there a chance it goes better if i try to do a top wrap setup?

>>68954002
the regular stealth looks better
especially with this headstock shape

>>68954106
sounds like you're looking for a ring thing

>>68954341
>>68954356
Changing height may affect the intonation a little, but you shouldn't use the bridge height to setup the intonation. Top wrap shouldn't change anything as intonation only concerns the string between the nut and the bridge.
Stupid question but are you sure you're going the right way ? I'm asking because I did it wrong the first time I tried myself.
Also, just get some cheap allen keys at the store instead of going to the luthier, you'll save money in the long term if you know how to setup a guitar yourself. Money that you'll then spend for actual luthier repairs, like a fretjob.

>>68954271
tone knob down, and a nice boost
neck pickup

Are these decent pickups? They are KHL not official fenders, but also not 300 bucks

>>68954479
you may want more than a boost, like a light overdrive or something

Are Behringer pedals really as terrible as people say i know they're dimestore as fuck, but are they really that bad
bought 3 for about 70 with a power adapter from some schmo without knowing anything about them
they are the equivalent of a metal zone, a tube screamer and a flanger pedal of some description

Ok, /gg/, I'm a bit undecided here:

I'm really torn between the Scarlett 2i2 and the Behringer UMC202HD on my quest to connect the guitar to the PC, mainly because of price.

All reviews I've seen are inconclusive imo.
On one hand the Scarlett looks awesome for some low latency fx, but the 202HD is less than half the price (and I don't know how it behaves in the latency regard).

Any experience on the 2? Is the Scarlett worth 2x the price?

PLEASE help.

>>68954426
>are you sure you're going the right way ?
Totally not, i'm pretty much going in blind since i don't exactly have many tools for this kind of gig (especially for measuring), although i'm not either fixing or getting things worse really, i suppose i'll get the keys with the spare money i've got since it seems without further setup i won't get anywhere

after looking more into it I remembered I have no room for anything. Maybe I don't really need a bass amp or cab....

>>68954600
Well I was planning on making some noise rock with them after I get my memory man (it's in the mail), so it's probably not the best for those purposes, I'll probably end up replacing them once I get a bit of money together next year

>>68954753
read up on some tutorials then, if you're going in one way, you're going to make your intonation worse than it already is, while the other way will correct it.

>>68954764
you don't need a bass amp if you're just recording, or if you're playing in venues that have a PA (do get a preamp if you're going into the PA), or a backline amp.
huge amps are a meme, there's no real need for a 500W head through a 4x10 in most situations

I want to get one or two pedals for my daughter for Christmas (she only has a starter guitar and amp). What should I get? Budget is somewhat limited.

>>68954846
I've checked it out a little, the thing is that moving the saddles all the way back only makes it not terrible but it doesn't make it just right, i guess there's no other way around

Does anyone here have an experience with one of these? I'm considering buying one. I have a fender deville and was looking to make music like dinosaur jr and fall of troy. I currently use a fender strat, what sort of sound difference can i expect switching to one of these?
also my pedals are:
tech 21 sans amp
way huge swollen pickle
mxr phase 100

>>68954856
Multi effects pedals are your best bet as far as value for money is concerned, I recommend this one because it's 3 channel, you get 94 effects to choose from and it's pretty sturdy

>>68954966

They're good guitars, go play one at your local GC.

>>68955107
That guitar makes it feel funny inside my pants.

I went a full year without buying anything, and I feel that I'm still not at a high enough skill level to warrant upgrading from my squier.
A friend keeps trying to convince me to get a "real fender", but I would prefer to have a compressor and delay. He keeps saing that practicing on the squier is holding me back, but I don't know if that's really the case
Should I continue to abstain until I'm good enough? I've been playing three years now and I'm not that great in my opinion

>>68955594
Your friend is an idiot.
You'll also be an idiot if you listen to your friend.

>>68955594
go to a store, try a "real fender", see if you play better or not
also try some not fenders because some stuff might feel amazing in your hands just because of specs, some people like 9.5" radius while some other like 16" radius for example

>>68955649
>not using glorious 7,25" radius guitars

>>68955619
Thought so, thanks

>>68955649
I know what I prefer, but there are no shops within 70 miles for me to try anything. I tried a jaguar and a tele about a year ago and I don't recall any major change in my playing

I'd like to play local venues, but I'm not quite there yet. Thats the overall goal though

>>68954008
Was pretty much the same for me. Was even playing sixteenth note triplets during bass solos or bass and guitar unisons with ease. I play with a pick though and if you're starting from zero I really recommend you do finger technique also.

>>68955879
if you're on a really bad guitar, the argument stands, I play better on most guitars because mine is absolute garbage and you have to fret/play precisely because otherwise a bee swarm invades the amp. But past a certain point, it doesn't impact playing.
One thing a better guitar will do though is reliability, having a guitar that won't fuck up mid gig is a huge benefit.

>>68955938
Even for barre chords and extended wankery, I prefer flat fretboards, it's just too cramped.
I can see why people like it

>>68954966
they're okay. one of the nicest Squiers. I bought a JM and hated it, though. they're not for everyone but so many people into 90s rock think they need one. you'll realize they're terribly heavy and have very little sustain. also the colors of the JMJM are heinous. just my opinions. it's not a bad guitar.

>>68955594
go get your Squier set up at a shop. also buy the pedals you want. I started on a shitty Squier and it did start to hold me back only because I no longer thought it was cool as I did when I was 12 and I didn't play as much.

>>68956379
>they're not for everyone but so many people into 90s rock think they need one.

Honestly, they should just buy Telecasters.

I remember when all the indie faggots played nothing but Telecasters and semi-hollow Dots and Casinos.

I don't get where they got the fucking idea to turn offsets into a meme.

>>68956406
I agree, that's why I play a Tele. Sometimes wish I had a Strat or an Ibanez S series w/ a Floyd, though.

Jazzmasters are such a shit design but people just have to jump on the dumb indie bandwagon. They'll all insist they need the unique pickup sound, though of course they don't because it sucks.

>>68956486
how are telecaster's sustain in comparison to stratocasters?

Teles seem to have more sustain because they're hardtail. Both are fine, though. The offset Fenders are plunky. idk if that's a word, I'm pretty stoned.

hey guys, I've had a boss distortion pedal for forever and just recently, once I plug a guitar into the pedal the input doesn't go through to the amp and therefore its just silent. Is there a fix for this or do I just need a new pedal? Not a great technician so I appreciate any advice

>or play classical

No, the technique is different. I'm making the switch to bass this year and have experience with classical. Some of the finger technique translates a bit but most of it doesn't. Not directly anyway.

>>68957247
looks nice

>>68954183
Go for it. There is a shortage of good bass players always.

>>68957431
It's not that bad. I just can't buy whatever I want, when I want it.

>>68957452
finger independency translates, and that's a lot already.

>>68954727
Some of those cheaper interfaces have compatibility issues, fair warning on that.

When I went shopping for an interface earlier this year I actually wound up getting the Shure MVi because it works on everything including cell phones and tablets. Only the one 1.4"/XLR combo input but I don't need more than that for my purposes.

>>68957253
i don't know where you live but there's at least a guy close by that makes nice strats
you could even find one on google

>>68957493
Yeah true. I hadn't thought of that. With bass i decided to start straight away using three fingers and it was a fairly smooth learning process adapting the movements for bass.

I'm a fucking retard and got stumped at early intermediate level and don't have a clue what to practice, i need help.

For 800 euros? I'll look around but I dunno..

pick up a book that has a lot of finger exercises and work through all of them. or youtube same.

learn a different genre of music than you usually play. if you mostly do pick, try fingerstyle. you will find that when you go back around to your usual stuff you will have picked up lots of new ways to smooth out your playing.

I got the 2nd board from a friend like 2 weeks ago who said he didn't need it anymore, so I just have it set up currently that is the most comfortable for me. Also can't really fit the G3X on one board with the amount of cable length I currently have.

>>68958460
it makes for an extra control that is often unnecessary
also for a more complicated design

chinks can't weld more than three wire at one time so adding a coil split would divide their profit by half

we usually get about $100 from bar shows and make about another hundred per show from merch. House shows sell a lot more merch but you get less for playing unless you drove a ways.

There's this local pedal maker that makes a Fuzz Face clone with an integrated noise gate/oscillator, I gotta gets it.

And I love me that Earthquaker Afterneath and the Bit Commander.

Why do my fingers turn to jelly on some days? I cant even play today

I'm torn between Little Big Muff and a silicon Fuzzface. I want this sound:

How to improve my picking i'm >>68957884

>>68961004
Do you hold the pick tight? It sounds like you have a solid touch, what you do for the picking

>>68961048
Thanks.

I've switched back and forth between using several different picks. My favorites are Fender Heavies, Dunlop 208 Jazztones, and Jazz III's, but I usually end up coming back to the Jazz III's.

As for the technique, I hold my pick between the side of my forefinger and my thumb, I don't squeeze it too tight, I think, but I choke up on it quite a bit and use more of my wrist and maybe a little bit of arm when picking accented beats.

I guess I've done a fair amount of practicing scales using different subdivisions of beats, like accenting the first note in groups of 3, 4, or 6. I think that's helped my playing shape up a bit.

>>68960859
practice

I'm building a pedalboard, these are some pedals I'm currently considering getting:
Earthquaker Afterneath
Earthquaker the Depths
Boss DD-5
8-bit duck (if I can find one)

And I currently own these:
BOSS OD-3
BOSS CS-3
MXR analog chorus
BOSS OC-3 (planning on selling, I never use it)

Any recommendations? Especially stuff similar to the 8-bit duck, it's a cool effect

>>68961252
Also probably buying Akai Headrush, sorry I missed that

>>68961252

I've heard nothing but bad stuff about the Duck. If you want synthy fun shit go for an Earthquaker Bit Commander.

I'd get a fuzz too, don't you life fuzz?

>>68961333
You can play the sonic themes with it

>>68961333
Never been inclined to like fuzz, sorry
I don't really want to overdo Earthquaker (though I've demo-ed their pedals before and wow are they amazing)

>>68961384

I meant quality, the original ducks would short out and fry and since the guy was just selling them off his garage he offered no warranties.

Still doesn't on those last few ducks that were released, IIRC.

Can someone rec me some electric guitar strings that have a similar feel to acoustic ones? I hate how thin and smooth electric strings are.

>>68961454
Didnt just getting thicker strings do the job?

>>68961497
That helps but it doesn't fix the problem of electric strings being too smooth. Acoustic strings have a much rougher feel, especially when dead, which I prefer.

>>68961542
then play acoustic you spaz

>>68961405
I was really considering an afterneath, too
but maybe i should just use my amps onboard reverb and buy a delay

I currently play a short scale Epiphone V bass (pic related). I find myself reaching for my strings about three inches lower than the bridge because it feels more natural. If I lengthen my strap to compensate for that, I find myself cramping my hand trying to hit certain frets due to the angle of the neck. If i get a full scale, like an EB-3, T-40, or p bass, would my problems be solved?

>>68962154
And it's cheaper too... hmm...

>>68962264
This doesn't seem like a short scale issue to me. The V strap button is in a place that shifts the bass in a funny way. The length of the neck shouldn't offset the bridge by much. Watch the Scott's bass video on posture sitting and standing.

Damn that brand is expensive. The vid I posted is straight up fuzz though. I'm leaning towards little big muff now even though I like the Fuzzface's simplicity.

Anyone have any recommendations for a 5 string bass with a P/J configuration? That particular combo is hard to find beyond custom shit, at least in my experience. Think it'd make for a pretty versatile instrument.

If you're playing scales with your fingers that straight, curl your fingers more. Also, consider putting your thumb above the neck for fast stuff. Playing with it behind the neck is "proper", but can be less comfortable. Also,

>>68965936
sansamp makes two pedals that any bassist can stand by as pre-amps or dirt boxes: the BDDI and the VT Bass
BDDI is more modern sounding, VT is more vintage and tries to emulate a couple Ampeg stacks
both come in versions where you can straight up forgo the amp and just DI that shit into the board

Sansamp is the go to for a LOT of bassists. I like the Para driver a lot and it's probably one of the best you can get. I believe there's a rack versions as well which is sick as fuck, mate of mine used it to record and it sounded great.

Personally my favorite is the AMT BC-1. Imo it's the best sounding, very versatile pedal. Sounds best for heavier styles of metal mainly.

anyone help me out here? got around £200 to spend on a new amp and a distortion pedal to replace some shitty fender frontman amp to get the most out of my new guitar, was thinking an orange micro terror with a 1x8 orange cab and a boss DS-1 Pedal, any other suggestions? pic related, new guitar

>>68973480
trash the DS-1, get a 1x12

>>68973551
its for bedroom practice though, dont think i would need a bigger cab

>>68973480
Nice guitar. I have the Micro Terror through a Bugera 1x12, you'll need a good OD pedal and some EQ pedal if you want more precise tones, scooped mids, etc. I use the ST-2 and I'm looking for an EQ pedal to give me more option, since the ST-2 only has bass and treble boost/cut. I'd look at other amp heads though, if you could get more money.

>>68973480
I assume metal or rock is what your going for? A 1x8 is not going to be much quieter than a 1x12, and your losing a lot of bass by going with a 1x8 which is crucial for rock and metal. A 1x12 will give you a tighter low end and just sound better and fuller overall.

you could get the Bugera G5 + 112TS(my cab), though many people shit on bugera, but they seem very nice amps for the price, the G5 has reverb, the infinium valve life extender, FX loop, full EQ and an attenuator down to 1 or .1W.

I'd still suggest you to get a nice OD pedal to push the amp.

Save up and buy good stuff. Lemmy once said: "Only the best will do!". Remeber, better invest in something nice than buy and resell later. Suffering is temporary, but a good amp will last years and years.

I've started debating putting something in the last U of my rack. Maybe a pre-amp unit or a compressor, but I'd like it to be a rack because I'm getting really tired of pedals.

The 1176 rack compressors were the studio standard for quite a long time. Urei used to make them back in the 70s and now Universal Audio sells an updated version of the 1176. You gotta be able to afford them though. If not, you can always go for the one of the many repros that currently exist on the market.
