Have they transcended coolness?

any cool jazz bassist?
i need some inspo

Who else counting down to christmas. I bought my own presents because allowing your wife to buy for a hobby that requires actual knowledge of the gear is never a good idea. I have to wait for christmas to get it though,

can anyone recommenda newfag a pedal for metal bass? i did a little research and was considering a fuzz, overdrive or distortion.

Aight so I've got a cheap shit bbe fuzz pedal th sounds shit with any reverb or delay, WHICH IS TERRIBLE because the only other pedals I have are a digitech delay and a dl4. I use the overdrive on my peavey classic 30 amp but that ain't cutting it plz no laff

So I got $300 amazon bucks. Thinking about getting a fulltone OCD bc at this point it's a meme that seems real and fuck I'm falling for it.

Also thinking about getting a zvex fat fuzz factory.

Am I stupid for comboing these two? Or should I switch the fuzz factory with a EH soul food?

No one denies tonewoods make a difference on acoustic instruments.

It's electric guitars where the difference is negligible.

Also listen to the only playable Stradivarius guitar

Any clue how it would be done?

>>69819445
Science proves "wood changes as it gets old" and "stradivari used some mineral treatment".
Nothing to do with how that changes the sound precisely. Nothing to do either with the tonewood debate on electrical guitars.
The article is also particularily subjective and draws conclusions out of nowhere, the study itself is much more objective.

Can anyone tell me about the brand "stadium" for electric guitars? Pic related. From what I can see, it has a three tone sunburst body, red tortoise shell pick guard, white knobs, unknown material for the pickups, tremolo style bridge, a vintage tint gloss 1 piece maple neck & fretboard, with Grover brand name tuners. I bought this guitar in 2010 from a small time shop - aside from what I've shared I know else about it. Thanks

>>69819684
>In their current state, maples in Stradivari violins have very different chemical properties compared with their modern counterparts, likely due to the combined effects of aging, chemical treatments, and vibrations.
That has nothing to do with even the tonal proprieties of the wood even, we're just looking at the cell walls and how different they are between shavings from a recent piece of maple and shavings from stradivari.

Building two almost identical acoustic guitars with different woods proves wood has an influence on the sound. Not this study, it's comparing maple against maple for christ's sake

>>69819730
Random asian strat knock off, probably from a factory's over stock or they got in trouble with fender and they "stopped" but really just changed names.

>>69819763
Yeah in other words tone wood is real

>>69819766
Thanks - a few more questions for you if you don't mind. Do you happen to know this style is knocking off? E.g. 60s, vintage modified, etc. Also, is this a guitar to gig with or just a bedroom player in your opinion?

>>69819363
just try and build on them. for example, you can use the first riff as the intro, use the second riff as a main riff and the verse, then find some chords that work for a pre-chorus and chorus, repeat the first part then maybe come back to the first riff, do a guitar solo, go back to the chorus after the solo and end on the first or second riff.

it's just a matter of experimentation, listening to music to understand the structures of songs and practice, songwriting is like anything else that needs to be practiced.

also the second riff is kind of drawn out, make it shorter and more to the point like the first riff

>>69819269
OCD is a very good overdrive pedal. Nearly everything Mike Fuller makes is a solid and useful pedal. and his TTE (tube tape echo) is one of the best echoplex style delays ever made.

The Zvex fuzz factory would be my choice over the EH soul food. the fuzz factory is a LOT of fun, and you can spend days just exploring the various textures and tones you can get from that fuzz.

ps; Peavy Classic 30 is a decent amp - I could gig with one of those anytime, and HAVE gigged with them when they showed up as backline amps. it's a better amp than most of the under $300 stuff at GC or Sam Ash....

I bought a Tubescreamer (old Maxon OD-9 with some desirable chip) and couldn't believe I didn't buy one sooner. I use OD, distortion, and fuzz for different purposes, sometimes stacking. My fuzz an NYC Big Muff Pi. I don't need anything else out of an OD or a fuzz, the ones I have do their jobs perfectly.

Tips to improve my cleans?
https://clyp.it/tqtkcndv

>>69820084
Me. Bassist. Much better tone. I don't like the standard roundwound sound on bass at all.

Also i think if you ever plan to use a pick you should use flats always for that application. For slap a lot of people like round steels for the clear POP sound, but i think the thunky sound of slap on flats is underrated. It's much more percussive and less obnoxiously uh, zingy, in a full band mix.

>>69820271
I feel you. I'm in an alternative band. I usually use flats for recording purposes. But in the live setting, I like the punch and zingyness. Cuts through a bit more and gives more of a hit. But I've always been the type that believes that a live show should sound different than what it does on the CD, you know?

>>69821749
my boss ds2 does the coolest controlled feedback thing. It's pretty great and I haven't found another pedal that drives into pretty harmonic feedback like that when I walk towards my amp.

>>69821349
What amp do you have? I never understand people buying distortion pedals.. much rather put my money into a decent head than buy stompbox distortion. The only pedals I use are Tuner, Delay, and Noise Suppressor

>>69821823

Because there's a pretty big difference between buying a $100-200 pedal than a $1000+ tube head, anon.

Not that I disagree with you, I'd get my Marshall Super Bass or Orange head ASAP if I had the money, but still.

How do I get better at playing and singing at the same time? I can do simple rhythms but anything more complicated than that fucks me up. Even stuff I could play in my sleep is difficult. The weird thing is, a more complex chord progression doesn't give me any problems if its rhythm is consistent.

How much money am I going to have to spend on speakers to set up a decent sounding virtual amp with bias or amplitube. I only have a 100 buck 2.1 system on my desktop right now and it doesn't sound great.

Useful bass pedals:

>compressor (if you're only going to buy one buy this)
>A/B switch so you always have control of the wet/dry mix to maintain low end regardless of other effects
>some kind of OD or fuzz

Effects that sound good on bass:
>octaver or whammy
>synth/sub synth
>envelope filter
>some kind of delay

Chorus/phaser/reverb and even wah are best used to augment the above if you wish. I don't like any of these on their own.

>>69823826
>Effects that sound good on bass:
>>octaver or whammy
>>synth/sub synth
>>envelope filter
>>some kind of delay
These are very dependant on the context, I wouldn't use an enveloppe filter for 90% of metal for example.
Also in my opinion, reverb on bass sounds like ass most of the time, the low end will mud up and the high end isn't so interesting as it is on a guitar.

Improves coordination between both hands. It worked for me as a kid.
Just don't push it too hard, remember your priority is real guitar and not the game.
Also don't get the new one with 3x2 buttons, that will only teach you to never use your pinky, so get the old one with five buttons.

After you get better at coordination just find some songs you like and try to learn by ear. Never read tabs.

1.- Making drums sound real and with a heavy style. Like I said I use shitty midi drums because I can't afford Superior Drummer 2 right now and I can't play drums for shit.

2.- Making my bass sound clear without it distorting the whole song and making it become ear rape

3.- Mixing the guitar tracks so neither the lead track or rhythm track sound too muddy but not too bright either

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rYsGCY4ftU

1. have you considered getting a torrent of SD2? i use that for drums as well. keep in mind that while the samples are better than what you're used to, it requires a lot of work to get them to sound realistic. in other words, don't expect it to sound professional out of the box.

2. are you applying any EQ to your bass guitar? if so, could you provide your settings? your bass guitar could be affecting your mix in a number of ways. based on that track you posted earlier in the thread, i can definitely hear your instruments are fighting for space. i can barely hear the kick drum over the bass guitar, so you want a good tip i learned years ago? this applies mostly to metal or heavy rock mixes, but do a narrow boost of the kick drum at 70 Hz. when you EQ the bass guitar, do a narrow cut at 70 Hz. fucking magic.

3. which brings us to this topic. when all of your instruments are occupying the same frequencies, the end result is a wall of sound. there are countless tutorials on the basics of EQ and compression on youtube. PLEASE look into that because it's the only way your mixes will start to sound better.

the production is quite nice in that video you posted. i like how high you set your goal.

That's literally basic DAW production, every sound has its timbre but also a bunch of disposable overtones, mixing is just making the right compromises, you can't fit everything on top of each other.

depends how long you have to wait

3 - 4 weeks? Sure, save up and get an am standard if you want. If you're a student and will have to wait 6 - 8 months until you start making money again in the summertime, you might consider getting something you can afford sooner.

just know the the overall value of the guitar is what you can sell the individual pieces for if you want to get rid of it.

that said, you can easily build a higher quality instrument for less than buying something and modding it with custom specs (ie: this shape, these duncans, black with maple or whatever).

getting any parts used and doing some stuff your self for the final build goes a long way (get a used body and paint it yourself).
