>>69457091
Minnesota. It'll have to hit Minneapolis and then come up north. I just get nervous when they don't update reliably.

>>69457149
At this price point, "hollow body" is a total gimmick.

>>69457158
oh, mn bro. duluth here.
yeah, don't forget it's peak season (my buddy works ups) and they sometimes get so swamped that not everything gets delivered due to DOT rules about how much they can work.

>>69457146
I kind of think he just worked at guitar center or something. Like on of their major warehouses. He had a bunch of rare stuff, but they do used and vintage gear. And companies will send them demo products to try to get in the stores.

>>69457175
Not really for it for the hollow body, just for playability and aesthetics

>>69457182
We'll see. I'll be mildly upset at worst. I have an amp coming from PA that shipped on the same day that's confirmed in Minneapolis.

>>69457202
Aesthetics is up to you. I'd think anything MiM would be way more playable for the same money.

>>69457002
man, i love my ebony lp. GOAT dsbm guitar.

some day i ought to fucking learn about chord construction and chord types. i don't understand what the whole 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th etc. of the note means. i'm sure it's really simple and i'm just a clueless novice.
i've spent about 18 months just learning tabs and playing/writing by ear. i have no problem continuing to do that but i would love to have some basic grasp on chord theory too, i'm sure it would help.

>>69457213
yeah, it def sucks waiting for shit. how remote are you? like moorhead up to egf?

>>69457080
4days isn't bad. I had a package ship from Washington state to Detroit, took days to ship after the post office had it, took almost 2 weeks. You'll get it. If you're worried about cold put it under a comforter so it comes back to normal temperature slowly. I've never had a neck warp from winter. I left a cheap strat out in my unheated garage rafters for years, still plays like shit, but no more so than it did. Like I said, Detroit. You guys, ever so slightly warmer, with lake effect snow.

and thoughts on American Elite strat vs similarly priced alternatives?

>>69457361
The E-bow is amazing.
I actually play it in reverse, above the neck, with the electromagnetic waves targeting the pickup from behind. it sounds incredible when i use it in this way.

The only new gear i got is a guitar slide. it's nice too

im thinking of getting myself a jazzmaster; i write my own stuff (shoegaze/dreampop stuff) and record it but the lack of any vibrato on my current guitar kinda sucks. (i also just love the look and feel of these things) any current owners have anything to say about them and how they do for recording or playing live? (also hows the build quality? i carry my guitar in a old bass case because i dont have the kind of money to buy a solid case)

>>69457829
definitely don't buy it just for the whammy bar m8.
worry more about the build quality and pickups, and just whether you click with the guitar or not.

>>69457898
i mean thats not the only reason lol, but ive been a bit obsessive over these things lately and my old cheap epiphone is on its last legs, maybe i should go to a local guitar shop and demo one before i make a big purchase like that but i really think this guitar is for me.

>>69457774
I just bought the slide two days ago, so i'm still getting used to the feel of it.

It's a glass slide btw

>>69457945
>maybe i should go to a local guitar shop and demo one
if your local guitar shop has what you're looking at then i would recommend this 100%.
you can read in meticulous detail about every piece of an instrument but trial is the only failsafe way to tell if it's really what you want.

testing it in a store doesn't mean you have to buy it from that store. you can usually get good deals online if you look around a bit.
i got my epi lp second hand for like 300 bucks and it's everything i want in a guitar (for now, anyway).

Real nice chimey resonance when playing chords (especially open G shapes) that still cuts through when plugged into an amp
Even with fuzz and overdrive on it

It gives you a really unique tone whether playing you're through an amp or not but isn't as loud as a normal sized acoustic

I would say it's just a bit quieter than my travel guitar

what acoustic guitar is that? been on the lookout for a "normal" scale length acoustic guitar with a smaller body (manlet pls no bully) to practice on so i don't have to string my only guitar up with .12s and predend its the real thing

>>69457945
basically what >>69457997 said, it's best try one out in a store first to see if you like how it feels and sounds irl. if you're looking at one of the vintage modified ones, I might just have got a dud but the lead circuit pots are shit, the bridge is damn finnicky to adjust for height, intonation, etc. the trem isn't the best quality, and theres a wire underneath the moving bridge (i think it grounds it?) whose connection comes undone after a while and causes this annoying hum that's present in all positions (but is most noticeable in the middle position). still love how it sounds and it's tweakability but so far its these things that make we wish i went for a tele instead haha

>>69458887
I do that a lot. It makes me feel not as alone.

I don't think it's that bad. Although, she's really pissed because he told me they went on dates and kissed, which she said is almost entirely fabricated. He kissed her on the cheek after he showed up at her place and got hammered while she was trying to get him to leave. She's still being pretty cold to him, but I can't blame her.

my $1200 bass in shitty natural finish has so many dents and scratches its not even funny

The second argument isn't valid it all. you should take care of your shit the best you can.

I started with an Aria strat clone and pretty much stuck with Stratocasters. I had an Epiphone LP Standard and ended up selling it and buying a MiM Fender.

>>69460431
You made the grave mistake of playing that instrument normally. It's a fancy natural finish bass so it's only meant to be played in your bedroom while you make YouTube videos.

>>69460374
G&L has a Classic Wide C profile at 1 3/4.

>>69460450

that's a pretty nice aesthetic combination

>>69460450
I agree that guitars shouldn't be abused or thrown about, but if they pick up a few knocks or scratched from gigging and playing then I don't have a problem with it. My MIA Strat I got back in 2004 is probably pretty worthless now with all the marks on it, but I am never going to sell it so I don't care.

Why spend all that money on a nice guitar to baby it and not enjoy it properly?

>>69460603
Cheers Anon, got myself a beaten up DS-2, Big Muff and original DOD 250 Overdrive Velcro'd to a piece of plie wood for a pedal board, I play shitty grunge/noise rock with my Uni band while wearing beaten up converse and flannel shirts, and we've yet to play something that isn't a basement gig, I am living my dream

>>69460597
i've played a affinity squier stratocaster for like 5 years now, dying to get something better and more playable. it looks like a very nice guitar

>>69460645
>tfw got 400$ in pedals and can't convince myself to velcro it up

I can't imagine lugging a piece of shit case for pedals, this way its all conveniently packed with the rest of the cables in the small gym bag.

Also wish DOD pedals could be found here, I really want the milkbox compressor, one of the choruses and maybe an overdrive pedal too.

>>69460677
I got all the pedals second hand
Paid £40 for the Muff and DS2
Paid £130 for the DOD 250

Also, I'd totally buy a better case but I have no case after buying pedals, and if I was gigging I wouldn't want someone to break the case, I don't really care about a piece of wood I got for free

>got a nice custom made power supply for 5 pedals with 1200ma for 20$

finally I can not give a fuck whether my adapter is going to tilt the power strip sideways and pull itself out

>>69460748
But how do you carry the pedalboard?

>>69460450
This. Guitars are not objects for playing music with, they should be hung up on a wall and left there for years.

>>69460757
In my backpack

anyone else here in a gigging band or just actively playing alone but almost never even listens to music anymore?

>>69460778
A surprising amount of guitar "players" actually think this way

Understandable if you're hoarding some serious vintage gear, but a top-tier standard models are simply made to be enjoyed

>>69460580
Seeing as you lost the pieces, glue is no longer an option. You'll need a new neck.
Set or bolt on neck? Either can be repaired, the set just costs more.

>>69460403
>disgustingly big heel
I sure love not playing past the 17th fret

What does /gg/ consider a good second guitar to compliment a strat? I've got a good amp, and my MiM strat, and I want something that will be a bit more higher output for punk, but still be middlish-output.

>>69461037
Les Paul

>>69461037
Which Strat?
If it's an SSS, you could always go HSS or HH Strat if it's just sound your after.

>>69460810
Vintage gear is meant to be enjoyed as well. It would be better for a guitar to be played to death and be irreparable beyond saving than to be trapped in a display case.

I have an sss, but for some reason, i only really like my strat. Every other one feels too sterile.

Is it possible to modify a telecaster deluxe to take traditional humbuckers?

>>69461037
Gibson Les Paul or and SG. Some of the lower end faded stuff is really good and very affordable, will contrast with your Strat nicely. Make sure you play one first as some people don't like the satin finish and open pore neck. Personally I think they are brilliant.

You could also go in a different direction and get a Telecaster, they sound very different to Strats and can pack some punch with the bridge pickup. Or just stick a hot rails in it.

That was my point, although maybe I didn't articulate it that well.

_Technically_ you're not supposed to use a coin as a guitar pic either, yet somehow Brian May did.

>>69461332
I'm aware, it's just a genre. I wouldn't call weezer or one of my personal favorites, the thermals, actual punk, so I use the genre sub division. I am not trying to do the actual punk lifestyle.

Modern Gibson LPs are shit desu. Heritage is way better

>>69461325

Thanks anon, I think I will have to consider the SG, then

>>69461325
The one I borrowed for a gig a few months ago didn't, but I was standing up and didn't get much time with it so I would make sure you try one.

>>69461358
Disagree, the 2015 ones were frankly embarrassing to be fair but my 2013 Traditional is really good and the new 2016 ones seem to be very good too.

>>69461340
I like that tone

>>69461351
>_Technically_ you're not supposed to use a coin as a guitar pic either, yet somehow Brian May did.
Yeah, but that's not "doing it wrong" as much as having a really bad guitar tone, it's more of a "physical handicap" like if you were to play with only two fingers.

>>69461427
the bass makes it work a lot better, but if you isolate it, it sounds like bees. Far Beyond Driven is much more agreable imo.

Then another person responded to him "good goy", which in the context of the conversation, the anon implied that watching anime is degeneracy, and that degeneracy in western civilization is associated with jews.

Then he posted a famous racist cartoon that tries to portray jews as bad people who plot bad things. he just posted an asian version of that

I do not agree with any of this.
This is obvious and blatant racism

Cause even my piece of junk stays quite decently in tune (~5cent dropoff after an hour of playing), despite having a neck as stable as japan's tectonic plate and shoddy tuners.

>The word kike was born on Ellis Island when there were Jewish migrants who were also illiterate (or could not use Latin alphabet letters). When asked to sign the entry-forms with the customary "X", the Jewish immigrants would refuse, because they associated an X with the cross of Christianity. Instead, they drew a circle as the signature on the entry-forms. The Yiddish word for "circle" is kikel (pronounced KY-kul), and for "little circle", kikeleh (pronounced KY-kul-uh). Before long the immigration inspectors were calling anyone who signed with an "O" in place of an "X" a kikel or kikeleh or kikee or, finally and succinctly, kike.

I like the SR series because all of them pretty much have the same dimensions. I played the 506 at GC and enjoyed how the neck felt. It compared nicely with the TRBX174 I was playing at the time.
I'm about to be forming up a jazz band with a few buddies. It'll be covers for awhile as we start getting a brass section and vocal set up. God bless knowing people who went to school for music.
I myself am getting into solo work. I like the lower register of the bass, and I believe that there are still things to learn about this instrument outside of a traditionally rhythmic position.

>>69462639
>>69462804
to clarify, this bass comes from special order in Japan. I played a couple different 6 strings and found the sr506. It played great so I went online and found the specs of it and it was exactly the same for the sr5006. Length, neck width and thickness.
I've been watching as many videos as possible to get acquainted with the versatility of the bass and was quite impressed. So I decided to treat myself right and spend a nice amount of money on myself for something I will enjoy.

I'm curious about your playing style. How come you need a 6 string? Do you focus on playing melodically or do chordal stuff? Not trying to be a dick or start an argument. I tend to just play bass rhythmically so I'm content with a 4 string. I like to hear why people choose 6+ string basses.
