Ok, so I've had this amp for a few months, sounds pretty good, quiet (good since I have a little monster who needs her naps).
But this amp has no headphone out, only a line out for P.A. (Because headphone jamming can be as loud as I can handle)
I was wondering if a dummy load for a 5 watt amp would be worth it? Or would an amp this low in power be alright with just unplugging the speaker?

Hey guys, looking for a guitar with a p90 or a similar sound to it, my budget is of around 1000$ (hundred more or less)...

Any ideas / experiences with any similar guitar?

>>69152017
this one's ugly af desu

How good of an idea is it to buy one of those online DIY build a guitar kits? I have been changing my own strings, but beyond that, I have been too afraid to perform any maintenance on my guitars. Been playing a year and a half.

Do you think it is a good idea? Would that be a great way to build confidence for that?

>>69152055

>>69152055

This is my current setup
(ps I also have currently lost control of my life so please don't mind the clutter)

So, there's an amplified acoustic Ibanez, a really old and shitty Yamaha bass (which I'd love to switch with a Rickenbacker I found) and a Les Paul.
AMp is an Ampeg+Roland Space Echo RE 201 (really fun machine) and a Sonic Port VX since I don't have any pedal

>>69152718

Obscura really keeps fucking up.
The lack of Hannes Grossman really made the last album boring drum wise too, and Linus Klausenitzer is a bit less exotic sounding than Jeroen was.

nope, you can't. You can bend a note a quarter tone, so you can bend a quarter tone all the notes with "prebend". It's a pain in the ass, but that's as close as you'll get.

>>69153501
I'm tabbing a song that's very obviously tuned between semitones and I have to re-tune every time I switch between playing along with the recording and the tab.

Check the Manuel Rodriguez Caballero. Spanish guitar, very good. Or La Patrie, canadian guitars with truss rods. Amazing idea.

>>69153523
>>not posting one of his fretless solo from the same album
I think that's the only video of him playing a solo from that album. Apparently the band barred him from uploading material from their album after kicking him out. I wish there was more footage from that album though, some of the fretless things he does on it are absolutely ridiculous and I have no idea how he does it

>>69153584
alright thanks ill check it out

hopefully theyre available in europ

>>69153612
oh... In that case, there are shitloads of options. Buy your guitar directly from Spain. WAY CHEAPER. And you can find La Patrie here.
Check this page: http://www.guitarrasdeluthier.com/en

>>69153314
Yes, I'm a spaghetti.

Since you got one, may I ask you about the pickups? I know the new models have a switch, that make them sound like the old 4001, but is it actually any good or..? Because I could also buy an old 4001 but I don't really know if it's worth it.

>>69153689
The switch does its work but I don't use it often because 4001 type pups have a weak output compared to the new ones. Honestly I wouldn't recommend buying a 4001 because they have weaker pups, nickel frets that are ridiculously fragile and dodgy truss rods. Some say that 4001s sound better but the maintenance nightmare that they are is not worth it imho.

>>69153586
>I think that's the only video of him playing a solo from that album.
ah you're right. but yeah, he's absolutely insane, even on a fretted guitar

I know, he is so interesting.

im trying to learn mammals in babylon by cattle decap. how can i slow down my alternate picking? im used to playing black metal so the intro is very difficult for me. should i just downpick?

>>69153898
Uhm, thanks. I thought older equipment=more maintenance, and this applies very well to Rickenbackers I guess..I will go for the 4003 then, thanks.

[spoiler]Well, when I'll have the money[/spoiler]

>>69154033
Play it at like 0.75 speed and count each stroke, it's a simple 8/8 pattern with a well defined "end" at the 3-4-3 part of it.
Downpicking it is a stupid solution if you can even make it work, it would wreck your wrist after some time.
Counting your strokes when doing fast alternate picking or even tremolo picking helps make you sound more fluid, you'll benefit a lot from that afterwards.

You'd be better off buying a 1/4 inch to 3.5mm adapter and plugging your headphones in through that.

Has anyone tried to upgrade the parts on a shitty budget guitar? I wanted to be a special snowflake and customize a $200 piece of gear as a side project but won't if it'll end up a dud

>>69153398

>>69153921
>0:10
I've been wondering how he does that technique. Shit's crazy

>>69154342
I would only advise that if you do this, you buy parts you'd want to salvage and reuse on a better guitar if it turns out the budget one was a lemon. Like, if you buy an Agile meme machine and a bunch of trem upgrades, make sure there's some other thing you want that's a price bracket up and is compatible with them. That way if something breaks or the guitar turns out to be cock, you're only out the cost of the guitar, not the guitar + parts.

>>69153176
Sand the squier decal off and order a Fender one from etsie

>>69154443
I've tried to replicate it
I think it's basically the concept of tapped harmonics (fretting a note and then doing the same as if you played an harmonic on the open string), but pushed to the extreme.
I'm going to try it again, there's probably some math involved and I hadn't thought about attacking the problem from that way.

>>69154436

>>69154391
True, but I was asking anyone here personally, if they have done so, if they were satisfied with the sound/feel they got.

Give it to me straight, are the Japanese Burny LP copies really as good as a US Gibson Custom?

Thinking about buying one but have no way of trying one out.

Is it worth getting a Gibson SG Standard?

could anybody here hazard a guess as to what effects are being used here?

>>69154552
Yeah I think they're the best deals you can get on a Gibson if you buy used.

>>69154552
If you like SGs and all that comes with them (headstocks that most likely will snap in its lifetime etc), then they're good.

>>69154559
Wah, and maybe a bit of chorus.

>>69154513
Alright, I think I've got the foundation behind the technique.
Basically it's the same as when you're doing a natural harmonic, only this time you're playing the harmonic of a fretted note. So for instance if you fret the second fret, you'll have an harmonic at the fifth fret after that, which will be the seventh.
If you've messed around with harmonics, you've probably noticed they repeat themselves in the other way past the 12th fret (so assuming your guitar is properly intonated, you'll have the same harmonic at the fifth fret and at the same distance from the bridge).
What Tom/Fountainhead does is basically a barre of the harmonics of the fretted note, I think around twelve frets higher in that solo, and then moving the barre at the same time as the left hand.

I've messed around in that clyp by fretting the 3rd and 5th fret, and doing a "harmonic barre" at the 10th, and then going one tone down. I only went up five frets from it because my guitar's intonation is far from being accurate enough to try to do it at like the 18th or 23rd fret.
Also, getting a proper legato is nigh impossible, the notes do not sustain and I had to use more gain than what I already use for like a death metal rythm guitar, if you have a compressor it probably helps a lot.

>have seen this anon posting that tab and complaining he can't read it and being ignored for almost weeks now
You're an angel

>>69155604
the main issue's accuracy, there's almost no room for error, when shredding you can fall back safely on the frets's accurate note, so if you're a milimeter too close or too far, it doesn't matter, but here you have to be at the exact point or the note sounds muffled. Since my index isn't exactly a flat surface, it's kinda hard to get the right position
Intervals become also really awkward as they're not really placed in a linear fashion anymore.

I wish I had a sustainer because it would probably help a lot for this.

do you guys know that story about Julian from the Strokes using a practice amp to run his vocals through for the recording sessions of Is This It?

Would this actually sound good? Has anyone tried it?

My band uses one of my old combo amps on vocals for practice, but only because we're too cheap to buy a proper PA, and a vocalist actually buying their own equipment is unheard of. It doesn't sound particularly great, but I suppose if you're going for a grungy muffled sound it could be favorable.

Recommend me an OD pedal for baritone guitar. I'm using a modeling setup so I don't need "clean" boosting, I need something that sorta tames the ultra highs and ultra lows and adds a very, very slight amount of harmonic content to give the preamp a little more to work with. At the same time, I'd like to avoid too much diode clipping, because I've got enough plain distortion elsewhere.

Tube Screamer hasn't been working, I think it's because of the low frequency cutoff being so intense. I know the Fulltone OCD on Low works, as does the Seymour Duncan Forza. ProCo Rat doesn't sound awful, but I dislike the drive character.

There's gotta be some other options out there I'm not aware of, so lay some shit on me.

How are you finding the hagstrom?

>>69158111

I like it. It was my first electric. The only real gripe I have with it is the trapeze who hits the body after lowering the action on the 6th string-side and the resinator fingerboard. It just feels like plastic more or less.

Is the Moeer Reecho any good on bass? I have a song I want to incorporate a short delay bass interlude in, but I'm not looking for a fancy expensive pedal. And experience with bass or otherwise?

Should I buy this

>>69158346
you have to

>>69158293
the mooer reecho is fine for bass. it's a decent simple and clean sounding digital delay.

>>69158111
The new Hagstrom reissues are pretty good quality. I have a Hagstrom Swede goldtop reissue and I think it's a decent enough Les Paul ripoff. At least as good quality as a Chinese Epiphone.

>>69152017
that yamaha is fine as long as you don't care about looking like a fucking tool. why not get a Les Paul Jr?

I've only had experience with the Revstar, but I love it. If you're looking for P-90's, maybe check out the G&L Fallout?

>>69153197
Big Muff style fuzz (best would be a Green Russian Big Muff, Earthquaker Devices Hoof or similar), Reverb (Boss is OK or you could get some boutique fancy one), Analog Delay (Ibanez AD9)

>>69154552
It's also a matter of preference. The standard SG vs the special or lower end models have different neck profiles. IIRC the standard has a slim taper 60's neck while the special has a fat 50's neck

>>69157988
I think you might like bass specific ODs that have dry/wet blend knobs. First two that come to mind that I like on bass:

Cheap option
>EHX Bass Soul Food (this is my favorite inexpensive bass OD by a large company)

Expensive small company option
>Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop (this one does beautiful subtle OD and is worth the expense if you want what it has to offer)

>>69158634

not him but is there any option in between? I'm getting tired of this fucking ass ODB-3 and the RAT sounds gnarly but its honestly a bit too distorted

>>69158576
good choice. G&Ls are excellent guitars. Alternatively there is also the newer Fender Mustang 90 with P90s.

>>69158681
I'm a big fan of the Rat on bass. If you are finding it has too much distortion even with the gain knob on the pedal dialed all the way back you could try just turning the volume knob on your bass down. Might be able to find a sweet spot that way.

I will eventually get one, just you all wait.

I'll get one from a yard sale one painted in rainbow and littered in Sailor Moon stickers.

Im doing custom work on a guitar for the first time. So far ive gotten new pickups and a vintage neck, what else should i get to actually make it good. The body is one of the new duo sonics

Not really the gain character I'm looking for. Bit too fuzzy, reminds me of the Sansamp Bass Driver with more wool on it. Not a bad idea though.

I'll look into the Fairchild thing. I might end up going with the Forza since it's cheaper, though.

No, the Mexican Fenders are generally high quality but are mass produced. They're not comparable to Epiphone or Squier.

A lot of people actually prefer the electronics on the MexiTeles compared to the American ones.

>>69160398
I'm not really familiar with these two specific models but the first one just looks like a Standard Tele but in a special color. The second one seems to be more or less the same deal. You can probably get a new one for the same price but with a more generic finish.

If you're willing to go into a higher pricerange I really like the Deluxe Nashville Telecaster.

>>69160717
agreed on the Deluxe Nashville Tele. The whole Fender Deluxe series is a pretty good value IMO. They are Mexican made instruments but with significant upgrades such as USA pickups and more interesting finishes and cosmetic touches.

holy fuck where were you when Trump made Fender great again???

jesus, i just bought a guitar humidifier for fun after not really caring about my room's humidity since i bought my guitar over a year ago. it was just 5 bucks, so whatever.
it's a little encased sponge i insert into the soundhole and let it stay over night.
after a few days of letting it sit there, my guitar sounds completely different.

>>69157910
optical because it uses a vactrol, a light sensitive electrical component, if you look inside the pedal it might even have a flashy LED that goes along to the speed of the vibe. the original univibes had actual mini light bulbs in the shit with mirrors its trippy as fuck.

It is like a phaser but it is supposed to sound more like he sound of a rotating speaker or a car driving by.

>>69161537
sounded different in a good way or shittier?

>>69161512
>He thinks Fender would be okay with that happening

>>69161585
much, much better. i hate sounding those "MUH TOANZ" fags, but it just sounded so much smoother and fuller. a few weeks ago, my guitar sounded really harsh and i thought nothing of it.

>>69161512
i just really can't tell who's genuine and who's ironic on here when they defend trump

>>69161537
>>69161682
If you didn't do a before and after blind test you have no real way of actually knowing if it sounds better.

>>69161617
Why wouldn't they be okay with that? If it's cheaper and better to manufacture them in the US, why wouldn't they? They don't want everyone to own their guitars and to love them?
>>69161684

I looked at the Deluxe Nashville and they have three pickups and it's kind of weirding me out. what if I just got a standard MIM for cheaper and upgraded the pickups?

>>69162945
Flamenco huh? That depends. When I hear "Flamenco" I think of Spanish style music, but I have posted music of me playing here and it was referred to as "Flamenco." Are you a bad enough dude to play something like this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEfFbuT3I6A

>>69163246
If you don't mind them looking a bit "off," have you considered the G&L Tele's?

>>69162498
Control your picking to avoid hitting other strings

Try muting the high e and/or the b strings with your pinky and ring finger on your picking hand

On chords like the ones on bar 3 try using your fretting hand index finger to mute the e string

And play like a human, not a robot

>>69163268
I haven't looked at them until now, but they're much more expensive. the standard and even the Nashville can be had for 400-600

>>69163267
god it's just so clean how does he do it

>>69162498
Use the underside of your fret hand fingers to mute the strings pitched higher than the one you're currently playing, e.g. If you're playing a note on the D string, use the underside of that finger to mute the G,B, and High E strings. Meanwhile, use the flesh of your picking hand to mute the strings pitched lower than the one you're playing. So in the previous example, you'd mute the A and Low E strings with the flesh of your picking hand.

I think consciously applying this method will solve about 90% of your muting problems.

>>69163267

Learn your key signatures, nigga

if I'm plucking a bass strum, should my finger nail be connecting with it so that there's a sharp attack at the start of the notes? or should i only connect with the pad of my finger to make the note just a consistent, 'soft' note? hopefully someone gets what I mean

>>69166092
bass string, not bass strum. not sure what i was thinking. I would compare the 'finger nail' sound to using a pick, by the way.

>>69166111
If you like that sound, then you can. I prefer the thump from the flesh of your finger.

>>69166092 i'll say no, use the pad of your finger, get a soft tone first

after that work on adding fingernails in if you want, it's a legit technique, just not what everybody wants.

>>69166136
so it's a matter of preference, I see. I thought the 'pick' sound didn't sound very good compared to the thump, but in some videos saw people doing that when going over fundamentals.

>>69166092
>>69166111
Pesronally I don't like the sound when fingernail is incorporated, and I just keep my fingernails very short anyway. If you want attack then just use a pick, it sounds cleaner.
In general, though, you should be only using the pads/tips of your fingers for fingerstyle

>>69165376
are you fucking stupid or something?

>>69164144

im new to guitar, only played about a year. i played a Yamaha Revstar RS320 at the guitar store around the corner from me but didn't understand it totally. when i asked one of the employees he looked at me like a retard but i thought it was a pretty straightforward question

there are no knobs for the neck and bridge pickups, but how is this going to effect sound? I normally keep tone near 0 and bridge high while neck is low (I think) to elevate higher notes that seem to get pushed out by heavier parts of a chord

i didn't phrase it like that for fedora employee it was just "no knobs i dont understand"

or if there's a video with a nice breakdown of guitar anatomy I will also like those

The two knobs on that guitar are master volume and master tone.

>>69166793
but typically there are 4 knobs, the two additional for the bridge and neck pickups whereas there aint shit here but there's still 2 pickups. i just have no control over those/they're both always on at full?

>>69166831
Are you dense? He just said that it was a master tone and volume. One controls the volume for both pickups the other controls the tone for both pickups.

>>69166644
I had a ruler against my fretboard the whole time and I knew how much my guitar could give because I had been bending the neck back for months wondering why there was so much slack

I hope your guitar didn't cost over 200

>>69166868
i understand that, but aren't i missing a huge range of control by not having knobs that aren't just master knobs instead of knobs to bridge and neck pickups?

>>69166633
Uhm, not sure exactly what youre talking about.

I looked it up, it has 2 knobs, that will be a tone and a volume. They will control both pickups.

I think what you meant is that you want independant volumes for both pick ups. You can mod the guitar for that if you really want it. Drill a hole between the 2 knobs in a spot that has enough room in the cavity, get another pot, run the wires to the different pots. Thats all it would take, and some soldering skills.

Common set ups are

1 volume 1 tone
2 volume 1 tone
2 volume 2 tone

Both my main guitars have 1 volume 1 tone. I had a guitar i loved that had 2 volumes, i kept the neck lower, and using a high gain amp i would switch to the neck during lighter parts of songs.

I personally think running a neck and bridge pick up at the same time sounds bad, too many different frequencies for me, but i play music thats fleshed out by a 2 keyboards, another guitar, a bass, and 2 singers, a drummer, and a sax player.

>>69166922
Just roll the tone or volume to what you prefer whenever you switch pickups,

If you don't want to drill into your guitar, you could see if concentric pots fit.

well yeah. its just that guitars come with different wiring options. if you specifically want a volume and a tone knob for each pickup then buy a guitar like that. you could wire it yourself that way too. its personal preference.

Why aren't you playing an instrument that actually requires skill, /gg/?

>>69167109
Because women don't care that you can play the
uillean pipes you turbo autist.

>>69161904
Get a blacktop strat.

You probably play the intro with a pick lmaooooooo

>>69167109
Depending what music/song you play guitar requires an incredible amount of skill, try to not be so contrarian.

What can I do about my B string on my guitar going out of tune when I use the whammy bar? It hasn't done this before and now it has started doing it.

Time for new electric? First three frets are like this and it get progressively better as you go down the neck. What caused this? It was an old guitar my father gave me was teaching myself with it up till about a month ago.

>>69167530
Those are nail marks, super common on old guitars and heavily played ones. They won't affect anything. Some woods also naturally do this and it really isn't anything to worry about.

>>69167530
You've still got a while. This happens to nickel alloy frets. You can have the frets redressed or you can have them replaced with stainless steel frets.

>>69167503
Some people with larger hands find a fat neck profile more comfortable, yes.

>>69167585
lmfao youre retarded
>>69167530
any luthier should be able to replace your frets if you want to keep the guitar

its just wear from the strings, guy probably played a bunch of open chords on them with a heavy hand. lots of bending can cause this too. the thin strings wear the fret much faster than the thick strings

Special case or is Guitar Center the Zumiez of music stores?

>the Zumiez of music stores?

the what?

>>69168363
a chain store where employees are half-educated and are mostly there cause it's cool

>>69161454
Are you a Kurt Cobain?

Depends on the guitar center. That would describe 70% of the workers. Sometimes you find someone who's super knowledgeable and totally okay working for $24,000 a year.

>>69167530
If those dents aren't too deep, you can get away with a recrowning of the frets. Alternative is to refret it entirely.

If it's a cheap guitar, that's a nice DIY project.

>>69161454
Had one of those in the 80s/early 90s. It's the bland beige of distortion pedals.

>>69168092
How much you think it would run me?

>>69168794
How much for a recrowning?

>>69169124
That varies from shop to shop.

>>69169124
Its usually around $100 or so for a leveling and recrowning.
