Just caught the end of the last thread so reposting

The playing is pretty sloppy just wondering what you think of the progression/feel of it

>>69331299
Can someone help me in terms of bass amps? "Trusted" or at least solid brands/models?
I know that I can't afford a bass tube amp so it'll be a transistor amp of some sort. I'd really prefer a 4-band EQ or anything else with good control over the mids.

My 8Ohm 410 cabinet can handle 500W RMS, so anything in the range of 500-300W I suppose? I often see 500W at 4Ohm and 300W at 8Ohm, that should work.

>>69331338
pretty cool, if you cleaned it up a bit and ran it through some effects it could be a vinny reily kind of thing.

Solid state amps:
- Lighter
- More Durable
- Cheaper
- Good solid state amps sound great, espicially for "pure" sounding cleans

I'm seriously considering getting JC-40 some day in the future but we will see

>>69331571
The only downside is that it's harder to find someone that will work on them when they go bad. Pretty soon I'm going to start hoarding Polytone Minibrutes because repairing them is more expensive than what they're selling for now.

What the fuck am I doing wrong, I was just tuning my high Eb down to a Db and it fucking snapped. This has happened before when tuning my G back up from a 3 semi-tone drop. Are my strings becoming brittle? Are my tuning pegs too narrow? the break point seems to be right at the tuning peg. I haven't changed my strings in a couple months if that matters. Ernie ball 12 gauge on an acoustic / stock takamine for the G if it matters

>>69331632
But from what i've heard, jazz choruses are amps that should be fine for literally decades

>>69331648
could be a few things. the tuning peg might be sharp, might be because of old strings

>>69331659
A lot of them develop a lot of hiss/noise doesn't bother some people but it bugs the shit out of me. I've had a couple of JC120s that had that problem.

>>69331571
Also look at Peavey Stereo Chorus'

>>69331762
I know about that one, seen people saying great things about it

>>69331953
That's the elusive Holdsworth/fusion lead tone. It's hard as fuck to replicate for some reason. You can get kind of close with low-medium gain, neck humbucker, rolled-off tone knob, a good amount of compression, and a touch of reverb or delay. But the attack of the notes is still too upfront. I don't know what they do to get rid of it. I think an anon suggested using an envelope filter a week or so ago, but I couldn't figure out how to get the parameters to work the way I needed them to

>I have a a SSH
Singlecoil neck pickup might be an issue. The bridge humbucker could probably work if you roll off the highs sufficiently

Anyway here's my attempt at replicating it with a virtual amp:

After writing that all up I just remembered Allan Holdsworth plays guitars with only a bridge humbucker. So yeah, that pickup will probably get you closer than the neck one like I originally thought

Anyone has experience with their interfaces ?

How often so you file your frets, guys?

>>69332491
only when they start to wear unevenly and I'm getting some buzzing (very rarely)

I do polish them every time I change strings though.

>>69331762
>>69331780
scored a stereo chorus 2x12 for about 80 bucks. Everything sounded amazing and the sprig reverb is still sounding great

>>69331380
The eden world tour 500w heads sound pretty good. It should have all the controls you need and is loud enough. Not too sure about the impedance though.

>>69332491

>>69332979
Reminder:
How good a guitar, amp or pedal sounds is up to you. it's subjective.

A sound which is bad for one purpose might be perfect for another purpose

What's a good 5 string bass to get for someone who's been playing guitar for a while now? I prefer something as versatile as possible, the ESP LTD basses look pretty nice and are versatile

>>69331571
>- Lighter
Someone never touched a Peavey in his life
>- More Durable
No. The difference between SS and Tube is like the difference between say a 4WD car and a RWD car, it does not impact reliability. Some tube amps are basically tanks (like the 5150)
>- Cheaper
Again, on what basis ? A brand new JC-120 will run you for more than a 6505MH and a 1x12.

>>69332150
>>69332177
>I think an anon suggested using an envelope filter a week or so ago, but I couldn't figure out how to get the parameters to work the way I needed them to
I think that was me. I tried again to replicate it but just like you, I can't get rid of the attack.
Took example on holdsworth too, but since the humbucker I have in my guitar is rather high output, I can't get the same kind of overdrive either. Maybe parallel wiring is the way to go too ?
Also if you've look at holdsworth play closely, he doesn't pick a lot.

>>69333578
If you want a 5 string with basically almost the same neck as a guitar, there's the Ibanez SR.
12" radius and ~4ish cm wide at the nut, so it has a very similar feel to a guitar.
The EQ will give you enough tone to go from funk to thrash metal with ease too.

>>69333578
>I prefer something as versatile as possible
Sire Marcus Miller M7, without a doubt. If that's too much money then a Sire V7 would be considerably cheaper and also pretty versatile.

>new amp is here but not allowed to so much as smell it until Christmas
Not even a testing session to make sure everything is actually fine. It's a hard life.

On the plus side it means I'm in the market for a juicy delay. Seen the RV-3 rec'd here sometimes for the added extra versatility, but anything I can find for under £100 used would be great.

Bought a used 100w tube combo (shit make tho, "fame" brand)
I made the mistake of disconnecting a external cab while it was in Standby mode - the fuse blew and now, it only works when a external speaker is connected (the internal ones don't work) and is really quiet at that.
Does that mean I have to exchange the tubes or just half of them? Which ones?

I don't know jack shit about tubes, but just in case I need to switch them out anytime soon, is switching 3 ECC83 tubes with the "Groove Tubes SAG-MHG Marshall High Gain Kit 2 SAG ECC83S and 1 AX7-MPI" ok? And yes my current amp is also a Marshall.

>>69334400
Sorry need to add on, does the order of the tubes matter? Thanks

>>69335164
Amp Sims and a Focusrite Scarlett, if you're ok with headphones. If not, I like Vox Nighttrains/AC4s or Orange small tube stuff. Avoid modelling. Also I think Marsall have a pretty great low-watt amp but I forget what it is.

>>69334881

I have to have around 3 different fuzzes, and a delay plus a pitch shifting pedal.

hahahahahahahaha what the fuck m9

>>69334881
Jazz, prog rock, avant garde.

I don't use any effects for the jazz stuff, but when playing with my band I use an OD, wah, delay, chorus, and tuning pedal. It's sort of a "bare minimum" setup but I can get pretty much any sound out of it.

Is it a 50's or 60's neck? I picked up the Sig T due to it having the slim taper 60's neck over the LP Traditional which has a rounded 50's, I can't adjust to the thicker necks due to I mostly play Fenders with Japanese necks. The knobs are Gibson gold reflectors it did come with the same knobs as yours initially.

Marshall MG30CFX, gets a lot of criticism around here but the clean and crunch are fine. Just make sure it's the new Carbon Fiber Series. Cranks louder than a bedroom and can be had right at $100 used. Effects are thin but I don't use them. Reverb is OK. Get a foot switch with it and it's a tuner. There are some others but hardly near that magic number.

That's pretty freaking expensive, but I'll keep it on the list.

>>69336715
Its a starter guitar, they're all going to be relative crap. If you're a brand new player that stuff is fine but of you've been playing for a bit id reccomend saving and buying something a bit nicer. If you're brand new go for it and if you stick with it for a few months you can always get something nicer. Dont fall for the meme that newbies need great gear, youre gonna sound like shit anyway.

>>69336813
Yeah, I'm just starting out. I've got a budget of $300-350ish for an amp and guitar.

>>69336762

50's neck on mine, which was why I went for the Traditional rather than the T! Yeah it feels really strange playing my Strat after the LP, neck on it feels tiny. Hardly play it any more, really should dig it out again.

Pretty sure they have the same pickups too - 57 classic and 57 classic plus? Took a bit of getting used to, the neck pickup on mine is really dark.

>>69337590
>>69337256
I've been considering the THR, but I've heard a lot of bad stuff about modeling amps. How does the THR compare to the newer modeling amps (Boss Katana, ID Core...) they are around the same price.

>>69337779
I'm going to try and say this as nice as possible, but why are you buying a fender if you don't even know how to change strings. I'd say watch a video but you have to be sure not to overwind them and im not really sure if that can really be shown over a video.

>>69337779
So long as you know what gauge you like you can slap them straight on, BUT that can lead to intonation being thrown out and the neck bowing or relaxing depending on the gauge you put on.

It's better if you know how to do a basic set up especially with it being second hand,

Hey everyone, I'm comfortable with music theory & recorded some songs in the past. I was considering buying guitar pro 6 as a composition tool, what do you think about the program in comparison to stuff like muscore? Does anyone around here use it?

>>69339399
More specifically, scooped mids make it difficult for bass to cut through the mix. So it gets in to a situation of bass being inaudible or bass turned way too loud, in either case the whole thing sounds bad. Very general rule for live bass eq is to have mids at 12 o]clock and tweak bass and treble as desired.

It's alright in the studio because the engineer will have lots more control over the mix and can make it work. Although the engineer is probably going to tell you to turn the mids up anyway.

I don't have that much of an issue with overall noise in my signal, so I use the NS-2 in front just to gate the guitar and control feedback. And I know most people go NS2 -> TS9, but it seems to work better for me when the overdrive is first for some reason

Also I've tried running the NS-2 in front and through the effects loop at the same time like some people do, but I couldn't find a setting that would work for me when I did that. It either wouldn't gate enough or would cut out all sound

>>69334418
Yes, order matters, usually. If the kick was puth together specifically for your amp they should say which one is v1, v2, etc if it matters and they're reputable. Some require a special tube in 1 spot, or 2 matched tubes in the other.

also guitarpro's really fucky if you ever use the staff, half of the time I want to write in D standard for example, if I write a tab, the sheet won't match and will be as if I wrote a tab in E standard. Or you can get some complete gibberish when writing something in a specific key, like having a sharp, then a neutral, then a flat.
They're minor inconveninences but they really get on my nerves, especially if I spend ten minutes wondering why a specific note's written as if it was out of key when it's actually not.
Other than that, it's a good tool, I like it a lot for writing drum parts too as it's very intuitive.

>Tfw I listen to so many different genres of music that I have no idea what music I actually want to play and I've only written one song since I started playing 8 years ago

Does anybody else feel like this? My dream would be to play in a jazz fusion ensemble like this >>69331953 or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_XJ_s5IsQc but that shit is hard to play and good luck finding people to jam with unless you go to Berkeley or something like that

>>69341636
That's terrible reasoning, because it has nothing to do with the sound or feel of the guitar itself, but only the price and availability.

In fact i would argue that if it makes you bleed, it's probably a terrible terrible guitar

what compressors are you bassfags using?

yes I know about ovniilab and talkbass, but was merely curious about people here.

>>69341488
It's a great pedal, really. You can get one for $50 used, it's a classic sound that's been heavily copied and used for close to 50 years. It's by no means the best at what is does, or the most flavorful, but it'll give you what you expect at a low price point. I didn't believe the meme til I got the tone wicker, now I find myself using it all the time. I don't even use distortion or overdrive pedals really.

I was using the ehx bass preacher but after a couple months use I decided i hate it. I have a cheap chinese knockoff of the mxr dyna comp on order, made by Joyo, which according to reviews is at the very least not a noisy tone sucker. It was very cheap so my expectations are low.

The industry standards are the MXR M87, EBS Multicomp, Keeley compressor, and things like that. All of which are pretty pricey for a pedal.

It's not the guitar that makes you bleed, it's your dedication to it. You don't put it down and keep playing nonstop until your body can't take anymore.

I would agree with you that having a username serves a similar purpose to having a signature.

But the rules do not explicitly say having a username is against the rules. therefore having a tripcode is still perfectly within the rules of 4chan

>>69341890
Yeah I am aware of all of those, including the >>69341967 MXR but those are all either way too expensive or straight out unavailable here in eastern europe without importing them and paying ridiculous taxes.

Can you be a bit more elaborate on why you disliked bass preacher? That was honestly the one I was warmed up towards the most, everyone seems to like it on talkbass too.

That out of the picture, my choices are Marshall's ED1, waiting couple of months until a DOD Milkbox pops up in the ads, or trying one of the joyo's myself.

Ocasionally you can find an EBS multicomp used but they go for ~120 euros (130 usd). I can spring that much for it if I have to but I'd really rather not.

>Can you be a bit more elaborate on why you disliked bass preacher?

It's possible mine has a poor connection somewhere but I have found it to be inconsistent. Like every once in a while the compression didn't kick on for half a second. It was pretty also noisy. I need to open it up and have a look at the wiring to see what's going on. My experience does not seem to be consistent with others on this pedal.

>>69342230

>>69342768
I'm playing a mexi J bass, running through a compressor then the B3K, to a Kustom 1300 (which is a surprisingly clean amp) and Ampeg 410 and 118. I let the amp control the eq; I boost the bottom end, lay back the mids a tiny hair, and add a little treble. I picked up the B3K over the B7K because I didn't need more tone control than blend and drive, honestly. I keep the blend favoring the clean sound of the bass and adjust the drive for how much color I want. The amp's eq is mostly for the clean sound anyway, it just so happened that I very much liked the driven sound the same way.

I use the uhx Bass Soul Food for overdrive. It's mostly something I pair with synth pedals to give some extra oomph. I don't use regular distortion on its own for anything. The Soul Food does a nice soft OD with the gain set low for my purposes. It can also do crunchy decently.

You're unreal bro, I have to assume there's some dissonance stemming from translation and difference in culture, but you're just something else.

You're in a losing battle. You can't fight true ignorance with argument, or even education in most cases. It can only be defeated by putting the answers in front of someone but not showing them where they are. If you would have just acted intelligent instead of clamoring on about it people would have seen it, instead you got on your high horse and went galloping through the thread shouting to high heavens about how great you are. In the end you didn't sway anybody, you just looked like an asshole.

You're defeating yourself.

Should I get a duo sonic? Is there anything wrong with them?

>>69344426
I was not being ignorant.

>>69344421
>moving out
lolllllllllllllllllllllll

>>69344411
youre a delusional faggot

>>69344411
Hitler was unique and distinctive, those words mean nothing without context.

>>69344448
I'm objectively not delusional.
You cannot name a single delusion i have had based on the posts i made in this thread.

>inb4 you will say "you were deluded about anything positive you said about yourself XD" to try and insult me

Indie rock mostly, but im starting to play progressive rock.
>>69344421
Im at college rn i have a cheap epiphone les paul but i would like something nicer.

>>69344465
They do mean something - but i do agree uniqueness can be both positive and negative.

>>69344375
What do you like? Those new offsets are surprisingly pretty nice for the price but don't get a short scale if you've never tried one and know its pretty comfortable.

>>69344442
He was implying that he would have been better off remaining blissfully ignorant of what "good israeli music" is, with the implication that what you just linked is shit.

I thought you were supposed to be intelligent.

If you think that your stinky shithole city is anything like new york new york, then youre either retarded, have been brainwashed by your gov, or are just using reaction formation to repress your true feelings about your armpit-of-hell country

>>69344493
Obviously they mean something autismo, what I mean is that they carry no weight.

Jesus Christ how do you fall for bait this obvious. The guy even did the top 1% intelligence meme and you fucktards keep falling for it.

>>69344511
The context of the conversation - i made this post showing a picture of Tel Aviv because i was asked if israel really is a first world country.

I assumed he was calling me ignorant because he did not believe israel is a first world country, which is sensible within the context of the conversation.

Taste in music is subjective, btw.

get a fender jaguar with p90s

that'll do just about everything you want

>>69344527
I'm posting in /mu/ since 2012.
I was not baiting, that is the authentic me, and there is literally no reason for you to assume it was a bait. there was nothing wrong with what i said

Squire Classic Vibe Tele's are pretty great and fall on the 400 side of your budget.

>>69344594
i have a classic vibe tele

they are p nice for the money, but i find the frets are really low/small. great for rhythm playing but annoying as hell to bend on

>>69344103
Fingerstyle is the ultimate panty dropper, just learn some popular piano pieces and movie soundtracks

>>69344594
Telecaster was my first guitar, and for a first guitar it was really great, but as I progressed I felt it wasn't keeping up with me. But then again that was because I wanted to have different shit to experiment with -- humbuckers, wammy bar, higher frets, etc.

>>69344540
where can i find one of these? i couldn't find it with a google search
>>69344594
i will have to play one

>>69343683
Sounds like you need to take your Gibby into the same setup shop. The few Agiles I've played felt like low end ibanezs

>>69343683
Okay what is the deal with Rondo? I go there and it's like late 90's era web design a million guitars made by China and nearby countries, all super cheap.

Is that the trick? Rondo is basically a street side chinese vender of ripoffs, but they're based in the US?

Axe-Fx if you've got dosh

>tfw I went from playing only death and thrash to fingerstyle country/pop

I get invited tons of bonfire parties now because people find out I can play their meme pop/country songs. Girls always come up and say how good I am even though I was a shredder for years and its easy as fuck. LIFE ON EZ MODE.

>>69344688
fender made a limited run of them, called the fender jaguar blacktop. they float around the used market.

the smart thing to do is just buy a regular jaguar then get an aftermarket pickguard/pickups.

>>69343546
6506 Piranha or Jim Root Dark Terror, I'd imagine.

Congrats on outgrowing the teenage metal and shred thing. A lot of people just want to hear fun tunes they can dance and sing along to. Sure there's smaller audiences for more technical and complex songwriting but the more niche you go, the smaller the audience will be.

>>69344841
If you want a p90 offset check out the new line of Mustangs too. If you can't find a jag that can do most of the same thing, it won't have a Trem though.

For instance, say on rare occasion I actually persuade a girl to go out with me and she wants to see me play bass, I could jump straight in to complex jazz for the 'wow that seems really hard' factor, but what usually wins them over is playing something recognizable and groovy like Santeria or some 311 or what have you.

He didn't outgrow anything, he's just in a new phase

An entire warring tribe supported by my tax dollars. Fuck off kike.

Oh I didn't outgrow it, I still play death metal daily. I just know that it won't get me pussy so I learned how to use skill that I already had to fix that.
