It did have quite a few faults though, missing trem arm, rusty metal, ugly red tort, and some wear and tear (I actually really liked the wear on the neck in a relic kind of way)
I could still fix all this stuff and sell it for a profit though.
Did they really go up that much in a year? I wonder what price they'll settle at.

I mean, it depends on the genre you listen to. The best bassists are in jazz, gospel, funk, r&b, and extreme metal. Everywhere else in between tends to be a concentration of shit with little flecks of gold here and there.

>>70489470
At least I think I think i'm just frustrated with my guitar instead of being frustrated by the instrument as a whole, so it might not be that bad.

It's just insanity. He's got a fucking SHITSHOW worth of gear. That travis bean at the bottom is only one of three that he has on top of numerous les pauls he's also got.

no one else on earth overplays this much

Many of those guys are lesser versions of the same cancer. A bunch of the rest of guys just play in unison with the guitar and maybe occasionally do a stupid/sweeping tapping solo, there's not much creativity involved at all

Sean Malone's cool

>>70489898
>overplaying
BC's first album was nothing more than deathcore vocals and riff wankery, but EE was a significant improvement.

>creativity
You're forgetting that it's metal. The bass's job is to augment the sound of the guitars and drums. Doubling them is 95% of what you do in most metal bands.

bass has no "job", only effects. quasi-inaudible pocket playing and melodic fretless lead playing are both correct.

of those two, only the latter is truly validating though.

Fender Vibratone from a Super Champ

>>70489925
>Doubling them is 95% of what you do in most metal bands.
well, I think that this is a symptom of the amateurishness of later-generation metal bands rather than something necessary to the music style. There are plenty of bands (especially in more traditional styles, but even in death and black metal) that have a better understanding of texture and leave more room for interaction between the instruments.

Anyway, I don't think that the greatness of a metal bassist should be determined by their ability to keep up with the guitars, nor by the fancy tapping solos they do when they get the occasional spotlight (or, in Lapointe's case, every 2 seconds of every song). Geezer, Harris, and Cliff are all better bass players even if they can't play the hottest new tech-death songs

also I'm listening to the other Beyond Creation albums and it's better, but he's still overplaying like crazy. It doesn't help that he sticks exclusively to that super-distracting fretless mwah tone. does that dude even know what a staccato note is?

nice

i was following the justin guitar jazz lessons and he did autmn leaves, which has some relatively difficult chords for me

but then i see another lesson online and he does incredibly more basic chords, but it just sounds the same if not better. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URM8lqPX7rk )

i understand that there is more than one way to play the chords, but is it really worth it doing the hard way?
of course in the long run it's helping me, but why play any song the hard way if everything can be done a simpler way?

cool. what tools do you use and what are the steps of your procedures?

How do I chose an amp? I don't really know where to start

>>70490314
They're not complete garbage. The problem is the wide swings in quality control. That's the dealbreaker. The Monoprice guitars are better qc'd.
I still don't know why people don't opt for the Pacificas.

>>70490189
one guy that comes to mind is Thomas Miller from early Symphony X. He might be the most tasteful "virtuoso" bassist in metal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T7WGasjju0

there are lots of musical bassists in old-school metal, but they're mostly pentatonic rock-style players rather than Jaco impersonators

>>70490365
what are some basics on how to write a non cliche bass line when composing a rock song

>>70490705
if you don't really know what to look for on an amp you don't really need a new amp

>>70490724
first you get the root notes and then you throw notes in the scale, first to kind of connect them and then to make melodies and stuff

>>70490721

>>70490721
I like Thomas Miller, old Symphony X stuff was some good shit. That low mid heavy tone in metal really helps to separate the bass from the guitars.

>>70489649
you realize sunn amps only cost a lot because of the band. they used to be cheap as shit

>>70490811
>>70490837
fuck off. if you need a better amp, then you know what a better amp is, and you don't go ask 4chan about it.

>>70490837

Okay. I've only been playing for a month and have never used a really high tier guitar so my eye for detail is probably lacking, but it feels great. Notes just come out as they should and the fretboard feels really even, no buzzing or strange things going on no matter where you are. Good intonation out of the box etc

>I still don't know why people don't opt for the Pacificas.
In my case I had to buy locally because I'm poor, & logistical reasons. Would probably have bought a Pacifica or something otherwise.

>>70490587
Really wish I could give you a quality answer, I've only tried it with the small practice amp it came with (sounds a bit lame) so far. I just play without amplification normally.

Only obvious shitty thing I've noticed so far is that the pots aren't perfectly centered.

>>70490908
no u
seriously, everyone started of as a begginer, and needed a lot of help to improve. The more people have shitty bad person attitude like you, the more trouble they have as a begginer, so im sorry if you got so much butt frustration, but either help or shut up, no one is interested in your mind issues

>>70490948
protip: find out what equipment your favorite artists use generally, and go test those equipments in a music store.

Take your time, test a lot, test the ones in your friends houses. MAke sure to develop a taste for em and be sure of what you like and dont, then start with something thats not very expensive

there are two paths down this road:
1)either theres a circumstance that lets you waste lots of money on a lot of guitar stuff (usually rich parents)

2)You will buy some equipment and spend from here to your last days buying and selling shit to get buy adding a bit more money to the mix

incindentally, if youre a poorfag, buy used amps, theres almost virtually no wear and tear on these equipments, if it works it works good, if it doesnt then its totally not working

>>70490728
This, honestly. If you need a louder amp look at louder amps, if you need more channels look for more channels, if you need more gain or clean headroom look for that, if you need something more portable look for that. And obviously there has to be a price range, search within that. Better is completely subjective, i love jcm900s even though every hates "muh clippin diodes."

Your options are new or used, and both are limited by what's available. Check whats available and find one you like. And it really has to be one you like, no one can accurately tell you what you like.

>/metal/ is leaking again

Digitech Space Station guy here. I was asking yesterday if anyone knew of a way to make it not so fucking loud on the synth patches, and I think I found one that didn't require me to buy a volume pedal

I put an OD pedal in front of it, set gain to 0, and volume to the minimum. So it's just a straight volume cut

Its ghetto as shit but it works

Euronymous was the faggot who claimed everyone who wasn't "TRVE" should die and shit. Varg, like others such as immortal, thought that it was not big deal. I mean they wanted to keep their music safe, but they didn't hate regular people. Also almost every person involved with Euronymous has said he was an afwul person, and that he had plans to use varg in a snuff film

My mother was always an extreme shopaholic, she would jump from credit card to credit card and it resulted in a very unpredictable and unhappy childhood for me and my siblings. I fear becoming that just a bit too much, and try to limit my spending as much as possible because of it.
That being said, I've used the same VM Squier Jazzy for the last five years and have no plans of purchasing anything soon. So if you've got the money, get what you want. Just don't go overboard

varg did us all a favor

First thing I should upgrade on a Squier Classic Vibe strat?

Tuning stability is poop but it's also still at factory set up, so I'm gonna get it set up and maybe add a spring in the trem cavity if it only has 3 like the Affinity strats. Tuners need to be upgraded maybe?

Don't mind the pickups too much but I will swap em when $$$ allows. I imagine I'll have to shield the body cavity and upgrade the pots (?) as well.

What are your thoughts /gg/, first time owning a Squier after playing mostly Japanese Fenders and vintage shit for years.

If you can't shred you aren't a good guitarist.
Anyone can put his fingers randomly across the fretboard and call it Jazz, but only a true virtuoso knows the nuances of scale run theory and can pick them at the incredible speeds exhibited by legends like Joe Satriani or Herman Li.

Hey guys, I'm a poor-ass college student and I'm wanting to get some effects for my guitar. Of course I would like to have a huge analogic pedalboard, but I don't have money for that right now . I'm considering to buy a multi-effect pedal, and one that caught my attention is the Zoom G1-XON. Is it a good choice or is there a better option around the same price?

I like his music but he's a complete dumbass

saw a weird but neato amp I'm hoping someone knows something about

It say Miami or Memphis or something and appeared to be from the late 60's or 70's. Says "Bass" on the front and, 3 spots to plug in (low, high, and bright) with minimal controls. Appears to have been made in Japan then checked for quality by an old company that would check out incoming electronics to be sure they were safe (started with a U or something)

any ideas would be helpful. if I can get them to take it on the cheap I might pick it up for being so oddball

I'm afraid I don't understand your question, anon.

>>70492886
I would just double check if the truss rod doesn't need to be adjusted or if the nut slots are too wide.

Also giving to much slack when putting on new strings could cause it.

i've played casually for 20 years and i still wonder; why aren't the strings numbered / ordered 1-6 top-down from the low octave E, rather than upwards / starting from the high octave E as per convention? it's probably a music theory thing, but even when reading tablature, top-down 1-6 reads naturally like a mirror image and it's how i write it personally.

Guys I want to buy a Fender Stratocaster but it seems the Japs have flooded the market here with shitty knockoffs that don't even have the correct number of frets (21 instead of the usual 24), where should I look?

>>70493069
>instead of the usual 24
nice bait anon

>>70493069
>A typical Strat has 24 frets

>>70493057
Because tabs are dumb, use sheet.

>>70493057
b string is higher than e.g. the d string
therefore you put it higher in tabulature
you usually read text top to bottom, so you number the strings top to bottom

1/8 to 1/4 max turn is recommended adjustment in one day. If the truss is fine, nut ok, string action not too high/low, strings not overwound on tuners, no frets too worn down

managed to find some info on them as a guitar maker. they were a japanese brand that made knockoff LPs that were decently popular in the 70's

>>70491861

usually the only thing that is ever a priority change on literally any cheap/ish electric, i dont know about yours, is the electronics / pots / pickups. all the mass produced stuff is actually fine in overall build quality... or lets say, durability and consistency. like every Encore or other cheap strat copy might sound terrible, but they all usually come out straight, no fretboard cracks, no sharp/misaligned frets, etc.

but usually the electronics, connections, and pickups are a bust.

i've never fucked enough with bridges to really comment, if there's no obvious problems you could often do more harm than good.

The bridge would even lower enough to get the strings down low enough. It's adjusted as low as it goes and they are still about 1/32" higher than they should be. The guitar is a cheap turd, I set it up as best I can but it's still a cheap turd.

Hi /gg/, I have a guitar I want to sell on ebay, and while I have sold countless things on ebay, I have never sold something of this size before. When I go to the stores in my area, I cannot even find boxes which can fit a guitar - I've not ran into this problem up until now

My plan was to take it to the UPS store, they wrap items for you, but I just wanted to get some input here first. Have any of you ever sold a guitar online before? What is a reasonable price for a used guitar? (I know this vastly depends on model, but I'd still like suggestions)

>>70490874
That's not true at all. If you look at sunn catalogues from the 70s the stuff they put out was expensive as fuck

yeah, in the 70s. in the 90s and into the 2000s when sunn would have bought their amps they were really cheap.

>>70489361
no, i took baby steps by buying a bass VI and now I just play bass full time

>>70495213
Sunn uses orange and ampeg, silly. Sunn amps are expensive because they have been discontinued for a while, and towards the end of the brands life, it was bought out by fender and a lot of build changes were made that deviated from the original designs. Fender essentially ran sunn into the ground because they were afraid of the competition.

>>70495368
fender did discontinue them, yes. sunn amps jumped massively in price when the band became popular. this is not even a question. sunn used some orange cabs at points, yes. they used ampeg stacks when they had bass but not as much when they both used guitars. you seriously used to be able to get a sunn solarus or 200s for like 200 bucks in really good condition.

The amps ain't even that great, most are just harsg low end fart. They're only good with a trillion fuzzes stacked in front of em.

The cabs are fuckin NICE tho. Built like tanks.

What are some good examples of jazz guitar?

Here's an [spoiler]incredible[/spoiler] example

So I don't know shit about guitars but do models actually matter at all for sound?

Can't you pretty much make any guitar sound however you want by changing pickups, strings, effects pedals, and amps, etc?

memes aside, it kinda does
it goes along with everything you mentioned, including the material used for the guitar

gis any fukin gitar an i'll make it sand alright - chief keef richards

solid, semi-hollow, hollow makes most difference in models.

>>70496439
pickups and strings matter most, but the physical characteristics and geometry of the instrument have an effect on string vibrations

>>70496439
It really matters, a LP got a lot of sustain in the sound but a Strat can get a cleaner an brighter sound.

Every shape, wood, pickup, pedal, etc. got a different impact in the sound, so you better check what sound you want to make.

Guys, need help with my first bass.

I got like 100€ and I want to pick a bass to learn. I live in Spain if it helps.

I don't need an amp since I could learn without it at the beginning. later I'll buy some cheap one with decent sound.

>LP got a lot of sustain in the sound

Why do guitarists obsess over sustain? Unless your guitar sustains like a banjo, sustain is pretty irrelevant. I don't play notes that hold for half an hour and I don't need to spend money on magic sustain gimmicks to chase that sound.

Sustain®™ is just sales pitch. It can't be accurately quantified or compared so it's just some meaningless crapola that a manufacturer can claim makes their instrument better than others.

Thanks m8's have some incredibly neat handwriting.

One more question. I live in the middle of nowhere and the only teachers near me are Craigslist tier people that will just teach you songs and one guy at a shop in town that essentially just teaches straight out of the beginner books but doesn't seem to know much.

How hard is it to learn music theory on my own if I'm willing to put in the work?

>>70496725
Save your money. You can't buy a good instrument with 100€, you'll just end up buying junk and getting pissed off with it, then you'll probably stop playing altogether. And you do need an amp, learning to control an electric instrument at thigh volume is one of the most important skills to learn.

tl;dr - don't waste your money, save up some more and buy something half decent

but muh sustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain

I'm not making the new thread this time. You do it.

>>70496824
It's really difficult to learn theory on a guitar without someone teaching you. Unless you want to get a keyboard and learn how scales and chords are constructed, you'll struggle to figure it all out.

i've got $3000

what's the best guitar i can get

Sure thing kiddo. Good sustain is the mark of a well made instrument. Try playing this on a guitar that costs less than $1k.

Okay Thanks.

Yeah I figured. Oh well, I planned on getting a keyboard sometime anyway so that won't be too inconvenient.
