Second for funny ways to pronounce capo

>Capoo
>Kaypo
>Kaypoo
>Crapo
>Kapow

nice I'm Guy Piccioto too

>>70112389

This is the proper way to say it though.

This is just indie rock? Its nice tho

>>70112431
My thoughts exactly. I even looked up more of their stuff to figure out what the fuck he was on about with the whole jazz thing. Turns out its just pretty basic poppy-punk.

>>70112389
>Kaypo

That's how my dad says it. It was some years before I had to use the word in person and was finally corrected.

>>70112483
You can say it either way. Correcting people on common pronunciations is pretentious as fuck and thats probably why your dad never calls you.

>>70112404
>>70112483
I almost got laughed out of a music store at 14 because i didnt say kaypo. After 2 minutes of all the old dudes talking shit they corrected me.

>looking for a maximum cheap fretless bass just to fiddle with
>wind up on Rondo
>lol $115
>okay how much for shipping to Canada?
>shipping $94
>...oh

I'm still kinda considering it. The Rondo SX basses can't be worse than Squiers... right? And that's still cheaper than a Squier.

>>70112551
Thats weird, In Wales everyone pronounces it capo, is it capo or kaypo?

>>70112591
Im in detroit, here everyone says kaypo

How many of you pick without using the little finger as an anchor? I'm a fingerlet and it's hard.

First, why not just buy a bass from your local store?

Second, there is literally nothing with Squier, as long as you play it in store before you buy it to check quailty they make great beginner guitars

>Just defret a regular bass, it's not that hard.

Oh no, I've been down that road before. I am mildly handy with woodworking and agreed to defret a bass for someone for a small fee once. It was way more work than expected because the fretboard chipped quite a bit removing the frets dispite my best efforts to prevent that. Used the soldering iron method and had a set of wire nippers I ground down to the same profile as a luthier's fret puller pliers, ran a razer blade around fret edges too. Still got chips and had to do a lot of filling and finishing to get the fretboard back in to shape and re-radiused.

>>70112697
If you're a noob and/or playing slow then it doesn't matter, but for fast and technical stuff everyone has reached the consensus that's it's better to not anchor. There are many great guitarists that do it, but the absolute best pickers, such as Paul Gilbert, don't.

It doesn't matter THAT much, but if you can change it, do.

>>70112719
No, I use the regular, funny you don't like it, it's one of my favorites, its a little sensitive but once you get used to it you can build up a nice lay of echo, and I use it with a phaser which really brings it out

>>70112708
>Jazz bass

Fucking ree

>>70112753
I naturally gravitate toward not using anchor so that's just good news, now I can do it with a clean conscience

>>70112748
Odd, which bass was it ? My friend and I defreted his cheap chinese bass and we had no issue removing the frets, despite using a nail puller plier. The only problem is that the nut is too high and he should sand it down from the bottom, but he's a scared twat and won't do it.

I used to play similar to that for a couple years until I started taking lessons recently. Now its hard for me to learn how to strum properly. Its just bad posture. She's probably self taught.

It was a frankenbass the guy had cobbled together from various sundry parts of unknown origin. I suspect the main problem was the ebony fretboard. Ebony has a tendency to flake off and chip under stress in ways you probably wouldn't get with a softer material like rosewood.

>>70112926

I kinda like this guitar. Only gripe is the location of the knobs and switch.

>>70113386
it's like a fender but more affordable

>>70113386
quality has improved really nicely the last decade. and it's hard to fuck up a tele

They're great (on occasion)

Picked this little guy up from goodwill half an hour ago for a little over 20 bucks. Plays and sounds great even with the super old strings and before polishing the frets up

>>70113497
You need to dust that headstock, but otherwise $20 for a guitar is a pretty solid deal

what cheap tele would you buy under $200?

>>70113386

They work. They stay in tune with a little coaxing.

>>70113557
Sorry about your Squier my man

>>70113386
There are many different kinds of models that differ greatly in quality, from the cheaper ones aimed towards beginners playing and sounding like shit to the middle and higher end ones that are on par or better than a lot of mexican made fenders and are definitely professional instruments

>>70113403
Squier has always had nicer models, a lot of the old squiers fetch tons of money and are highly sought after

>>70113415
the VM stuff is like mid-tier and will be better than some random affinity model or something cheaper like that

>>70113502
even the cheapest squier models are better than anything sold by walmart

How is that amp? Is it good for clean stuff.

Any recs on bass compression? Just trying to get my strings to have the same output on my 58"longhorn. There can be a lot of tones outta the pickups and I really seem to pick harder right when I switch strigs. The E is also way rounder/quieter than the other string sounds.

>>70113670

Btw does anyone know anything about fixing amps? That Fender amp is a real piece of shit. Sometimes it switches into the overdrive mode by itself and fucks everything up

Are there electric guitars I can plug directly into my computer without any amps or effects or whatever? What technology is this

Affordable: TC electronic spectracomp. It's just as good as more expensive compressors except that adjusting it involves pugging a usb cable and fiddling with the firmware (tc has a dedicated program for it). Also has to be plugged in, no space inside for battery. If you don't mind those two things, this blows away any other compressor at the same price point.

The good stuff with all the knobs and battery compartment: MXR M87, Keeley compressor, Aguilar TLC, EBS multicomp etc.

Anyone know how to play Soft as Snow but Warm Inside?

I can't figure out the tuning but I think the chords are F# F over and over. Is that right?

>>70113728
Isn't that digital interface? I heard some guitars have digital audio output over ethernet or some proprietary connector, but I don't have any guitars of the sort. That'd also mean the audio gets digitized by an internal DAC pretty early in the signal chain, avoiding many sources of noise. Coupled with some good pickups, it probably makes for really good recording hardware.

Its about build quality

Squier is a separate company that makes guitars, Fender comes along and say "You can put our name on your guitars (and also use some of our designs) and we'll take a cut of the profit"

Basically, you can get a Squier made in some third world country

You can get a Fender made in Mexico (MiM) which are a little better but more expensive

Or you can get a Fender made in America (MiA), which are supposedly better because the American workmanship is better, but these costs the most

I say supposedly like all things quality is subject to change, Think about wines and vintages, some years are better than others, also there is a degree of preference, you might like thin necks over fatter ones

All in all, odern Squiers are fine guitars for beginners, take a friend that plays guitar down to your local guitar store to make sure your not getting mugged off

>>70112649
Yeah, but I play bass.
> Oh, so like a guitar, but with 4 strings. Why don't you play regular guitar?
Fucking stop.

>>70113886

F# F and B I think

Tuning is standard tuning with the G# according to some old tab from the old mbv fansite but I wouldn't really know, I ain't ever played that song.

To get the sound just roll off your tone knob and strum while bending with your guitar tremolo.

How good is a Variax?

Can we all agree that if you want a cheap Fender style for under $300 you go MiM For Strats and Teles and if you want a cheap offset you go Squier?

>girls in anime play better than you do
why even take it out of the gig bag?

>>70114014

Yeah that's pretty much it.

Or to simplify it further: avoid if made in China.

>>70114014
Can you even buy MIMs for $300 anymore?

Anyone know a site for piano chords and inversions so i dont have to transpose it all

>>70114014
I'd go for a CV Squier strat or tele over the cheapest MiM desu, as for the Squier offsets, the newest ones that are the most vintage accurate played (and sounded) like shit stock imo

the vm ones released around 2012 with that danelectro style bridge and the jagmasters etc are good though

i built a partscaster jaguar with a squier jaguar body purchased off ebay but i used a mexican jag neck and mexican fender jag pickups to have a semi-decent jaguar (came out cheaper than it would have been for squier jaguar retail anyway, and much better sounding)

Some of it is quality of the wood
But it also means:
Quality of the screws and the screwing
The quality of the sanding of the wood
The quality of the fitting of the parts
The quality of the frets and their spacing
The quality of the electronic parts used

And lots more stuff, just imagine, a Squier is a guitar someone takes 4 hours to build, A MiA Strat is a guitar someone spends a whole day putting together

You don't want to spend that much on your first electric. 400-600 range is good. Either a Squier Classic Vibe or made in Mexico Strat is more than enough.

>>70115100
where on earth have you seen anyone selling a 3x8

Squier guitars are fine for beginners and autists who like "mod" their guitars and play through 14 pedals but most non beginners would rather just pay more and not need to do extra work for something to not be shit.

meh, im working on a tele build over time, but i also want one to play now the more listen to math rock again

>>70112690

>>70115308

re; modding, you just have to figure that in to eventual cost. Which is to say, will a $250 Squier with new pickups and bridge (~$200 extra) be as good or better than a $500 MIM. Same sort of calculation for MIM vs. MIA. Usually the value proposition works out better for MIM modded vs. MIA than it does for Squier modded vs. MIM as you save a lot more off the sticker price of an MIA in that situation. Also need to figure in whether you're going to be doing those mods yourself or have a shop tech do it for you.

What do you play, bass or guitar? And why do you play what you play?

>>70115494

Both. I picked up bass because I had been playing guitar for 15+ years and wanted something different as a change of pace. Turns out I actually like playing bass more, at least right now while it's new and kinda novel.

>>70115494
Guitar, helps me express myself in ways I don't want to with words

>>70115494
played jazz bass for 2 years then switched to guitar

guitars more fun for playing by yourself, cuz you can actually play the main part of a song or bang out some chords and sing along or play harmonica. bass is more like drums, you really need to be in a band to get the most out of it.

>>70115494

Bass.

I don't know, I guess guitar is too flashy for me, I wanted something a bit more sober so I picked up bass. I loved 'tallica's For Whom The Bell Tolls so when I found out the intro was bass I knew that's what I wanted to play

>>70113639
I have a Frontman 212r in my basement.

God they're horrible. I wish my dad would let me sell it for him because he literally hasn't played it in 3 years.

>>70115054
yeah man, those super expensive pots n shit

>>70115494
Guitar and because I won't rest until I can play all songs from my childhood

>>70115494
Started on bass about a year ago, and I'll probably end up buying a guitar this year, cause chords are so fun to play. Won't quit bass tho.

Why do so many on /gg/ have the big muff pedal?

Is it essential or is it just a /gg/ circle jerk meme?

>>70115718

Really excited for my HT-1 to come in the mail. After 11 years playing I decided to downsize my entire rig because I only play in my bedroom anyway.

>>70115718
Pretty good intro to pedals, three easy to understand knobs makes it hard to fuck up, it has a pretty dramatic effect on your tone, its cheap, everyone else has one, all the signs of a meme, but a good meme, like surdo or potion seller

>>70115494

Hi guys, im about to build a half watt hybrid mini amp head that will power a 4x2.5" cabinet. Parts will be here no later than monday. I will have the best toanz with my starved plate voltage and speakers that cant properly produce bass frequencies.

Don't buy a Frontman or a Champion (the amp that replaced the frontman)

>>70116400
i think i might have 10-46 on this esp, you say that is pretty normal for a set of 10s?

I was in the thread yesterday as well
but I still need some more opinions
Best system for tuning stability that is not a floyd rose? I love FR, but changing strings is a real bitch. Locking tuners make it easier to change strings, but don't do much else. Evertune is solid but a mechanical nightmare to mount. Strandberg guitars are ugly as hell, but the system is solid. ABS custom bridges are probably expensive as hell. Ibanez Edge FX is restricted to, well, Ibanez. And then there are a couple more custom companies building fixed bridge locking systems, which again, is probably expensive as fuck. That pretty much leaves Kahler, but I have no idea as to how easy it is to change strings or how stable it actually is. Is is comparable to the stability of a floyd?
Bonus: two separate questions:
-Is the EVH De-Tuna any good? Does it even work?
-Can you retrofit coil split/ coil tap?

That's it, thank you

MIA's aren't memes, there's a huge gulf between MIM and MIA, I've played both and own an Elite. For starters the MIM's are dipped in plastic an 1/8 of an inch thick,and although the finish on the neck is quite nice it's not MIA nice.The bridges are totally different and the electronics/pups are slightly better to Squire tier. Even if you upgraded all those parts you still have a MIM no one is gonna pay more than $300 for, should you ever decide to sell. Probably less modded. Now you could do all those things,sink in an extra $300 just in pups and a bridge, and another $50 in machines, but now you're in the used MIA standard market $650+.
Don't take my word, do the math. Go out and play some if you can.

>>70116447
8-38 = ultra light
9-42 = super light
9-46 = light-standard
10-46 = light
11-48 = medium
11-52 = medium heavy
10-52 = light heavy bottom
12-56 = heavy

for electric guitar strings thats kind of how it goes. different companies have different names and slightly different gauges

>>70116436
The Super Champ X2 is a nice valve/hybrid type practice amp. Not all Champs are the same ss.

>>70116264
>>70116400
>>70116567
Anyone ever try using heavy top & standard bottom? Is that dumb?

riff challenge: you can only play odd numbered strings on odd numbered frets, and even numbered strings on even numbered frets

>>70113120
They've always done this in Japan. They have such a massive range of guitars, but the vast majority of their ESP LTD stuff is aimed at metal players.

>>70113728
>>70113887
There are a few guitars out there that output via ethernet but it was very much an experimental thing that never really caught on. Realistically an interface is your best bet. I've been experimenting with a few cheaper models lately and a good one I've found is the Yamaha GO46. No drivers past Vista and they're firewire. They work in 7 but never tried 8.1 or 10. They're cheap second hand as a result.

>>70115718
I think it's more that most guitarists own, owned, or will own a big muff or big muff style pedal at some point. I have a Ram's Head Clone at the moment and it's a great pedal.

>>70116468
Have you considered blocking a floyd rose? All of my live guitars are setup like that now. Can get through a full set without retuning. Dramatically simplifies restringing as well since the bridge movement is restricted to less than a millimeter or so.

>Is the EVH De-Tuna any good? Does it even work?
They work, but I've never been a fan myself.

>Can you retrofit coil split/ coil tap?
>Split
Providing your pickups are four conductor it's just a matter of fitting a push pull pot or a switch and rewiring it. If it's two conductor it's a bit more complicated.

>Tap
You'd most likely need new pickups designed for it.

As a beginning bassist, how much should I worry about pedals?

>>70116645
So basically just diminished riffs.

>>70116641
like 12-46?

nah, but they do make 'balanced tension' packs where the a and d strings are lighter and the g and b are heavier

>>70116567

light-standard is the best

>>70116645
So whole tone riffs, got it

>>70116659
Not too much

Bass is a useless instrument and people aren't going to be able to hear you anyway

>>70116645
Easy.

5th string:
3-5-7
4th string:
6-4-2

>>70116436
idk if i want to get a really small tube amp, or just go whole hog with something bigger.

also marshall vs fender etc.

>>70116505
how do you like an elite vs building something from warmoth/usacg for $600? i was going to do a tele that route with high quality, but plain looking parts to save money.

>>70116641
it's not dumb, it just defeats the purpose of light top heavy bottom
higher strings - more bends, easier with lighter strings
lower strings - heavy strings downtune without getting floppy, good for drop D for example
there wouldn't be much point to heavy top light bottom

>>70116567
thanks for this, i got a set of 10-46s BT the other day from the guitar store hoping i'd like them and i think they might be good! the 10-52 sound good on paper as well

>>70116694
wew lad

>>70116646
I have thought of blocking my FR, but never got around to it. Restringing is basically exactly like a fixed bridge guitar, but at the end you clamp the locking nuts and it's done right?

Thanks for the extensive reply

I kind of want to have an all-in-one guitar; solid tuning, 7-string (B for my death metal and E-standard for my prog-rock project), coil tap/split for the warm single coil sound, and possibly a D-tuna to switch to drop tuning if I want to. It's one hell of a combo, but I think it'd be pretty awesome. Maybe it'll end up being some kind of frankenstein monster

i got myself a launchkey 25 for my birdday today and it's so awesome. part of me's worried it'll make me slack on guitar but the other part's hopeful it'll give me more inspiration. i made a really cool short track with synth in the background and guitar over it

calle 5500

>>70116755
I want a sludge/doom type of sound so I was thinking some heavy tops would kind of even things out. I feel like my top 3 strings just ring over the bottom 3.

>>70116686
This might be what I'm lookin for

>>70116755
Unpopular opinion : I actually prefer having more tension for bending, because you need to bend the string more, and thus the intonation is more correct.
You also get a really cool sort of rebound from the strings against the pick.

My favorite band is Interpol, rec me a fuzz pedal.I know Paul Banks uses a Swollen Pickle

>>70116755
well to be fair, the sludgy sound kind of calls for easy bends on the lower strings

>>70116817
>I feel like my top 3 strings just ring over the bottom 3.

Try lowering your pickups under the top strings. If that doesn't help it means you have shitty pickups.

>>70116659

None. Just focus on learning to play the instrument for a while. Plenty of time for pedals later. When you do decide to pick up a pedal, I recommend a compressor as your first one.

>>70116838
Swollen Pickle

How do I learn

>>70116838
rams head muff clone

>>70116879
Thanks, I'll try that out. I feel kind of dumb for not trying that first.

>>70116888
Practice daily.

>>70116646
What exactly is an interface? It's like a connector?

>>70116505

sadly i live in europe and prices are retarded. For a MIM i pay about 600€ and for the classic player its 900€

>>70116922
Before anyone convinces you you need one as a beginner, just buy one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Rocksmith-2014-Real-Tone-Cable-Trilingual/dp/B00I0701P4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1483574159&sr=1-1&keywords=tone+cable

And then pirate Bias FX and Guitar Rig 5. Thats all you need to play guitar on your computer and even record if you're not a tone fag.

Years ago when I was playing guitar for a year or 2, I bought a guitar just because that one looked cool
Right now, I still like the neck and fretboard very much, really easy to play/ I kind of got lucky on that.
But the pickups suck ASSSSS
Now, not to start a tonewood debate, but I've noted some people say certain pickups are incompatible with certain types of wood. The body of my guitar is alder wood. Is there any truth in that? Or should I just say fuck it and install new pickups.

when buying a guitar off craigslist, what should i ask the owner? i'm afraid of getting scammed

>>70116986
Say fuck it and install new pickups if you love your guitar the way it is minus the sound.

>>70116986
>I've noted some people say certain pickups are incompatible with certain types of wood. The body of my guitar is alder wood. Is there any truth in that?

No, that's bullshit. Alder will not negatively affect the sound of any pickup.

>>70117094
>>70117061
thanks
my current pickups sound like an empty bucket

I recently dropped my guitar off at my local guitar shop to get it setup. I didn't really ask him what he was going to do to it, just that I would like for it to be in a condition that someone could learn on. Does a setup typically include a cleaning of the instrument?

>>70116986
>>70117094
Yeah I would imagine. The most famous strats are made out of Alder.

>>70117133
i'm sure they would at least give it a decent once-over
if it was legit really dirty i don't think they would just leave it like that

>>70116968
>rockksmith


is that good for learning

hey /gg/, i like girls playing intricate and complex guitar. where can i find this?

>>70117133
Setup first includes a blacklight scan of your instrument before handling to check to see if there are any bodily fluids on the instrument. If anything comes up a call to the local PD will be placed and they will do a forensics scan to make sure this isn't evidence in any open or closed cases. They will then do a social media scan to contact your closest peers to let them know you're a sick fuck. Cheers.

>>70115525
This happened to me, played Guitar for a long while then picked up the bass and fell in love, for about 3 months, its kind of like a honey moon phase, at least it was for me. I think after a while, you just really get board of the bass. Who knows, you may really be a bassist at heart.

>>70117197
Rocksmith is ass but the cable you get with it is really useful for other software on your computer.

Fuck you, you worthless pieces of shit.

>>70117197
Yeah, if you're a faggot.
It can be fun to mess around with and play as a game, but actually learning songs, and learning to play guitar in general, you're going to learn about 12x slower. Either get lessons or teach your self.

>>70116659
As a guitar player, i got along fine without pedals for years. I used different delays in my time but until a few years ago i had no need for pedals. Now i have more than i need, and make a bunch too. Ive been recording bass on my own tracks for over a decade now, never had a need for anything more than a fuzz, a compressor, and occasionally reverb. I rarely use effects at all, but im a rhythmic player, i sometimes do a lot of fills but pedals would be distracting for that. YMMV, if youre a melodic player pedals might benefit you, but theres no need for them. 3 things bass players benefit from in my eyes, a compressor, a boost, and a di box, and only live really. Fuzz is nice if you play heavier music, or want to play a solo that sticks out. Reverb is only nice if you need to fill a ton of empty space.

Really though, you dont need any. If you feel you need one, wait til you know what it is.

>>70117507
I play mostly death metal, but I'm a blues player at heart so I do some neck pickup stuff too

>>70118004
Thats the type of shit poorfags say

unless you're gigging pedals are pointless. That fuzz sure sounds great when you're playing in your room doesn't it?
