i was looking on sweetwater for something but i guess i won't be able to buy from them since they don't have anything that fits that description. should i try to buy something at one of my kinda crappy local shops? they wouldn't know anything about setting up anyways. any other online places?

>>70581836
what exactly are you looking for?

>>70581836
other online places would be musician's friend, reverb, ebay, amazon, etc.

What kind of music do you even play on electric guitars without pedals?

What kind of pantsu should I put on my guitar to get the best tone?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyVb0ind20o

>>70581883
jazz in the case that its a single channel clean amp

>>70581836
small local shops are run by hobbyists and give you the best service

guitar centres only care about the sale

>>70581883
When I play clean I usually do funk, soul, R&B, disco, country, blues, and some rock.

>>70581883
Any form of rock music, or jazz, country, funk, ambient stuff, ska, folk, bluegrass, i could keep going but youre probably trolling anyways.

should i buy this?

It's a meme, but it looks so fun.

>>70581934
It was a serious question with a trolling vibe to it, i actually want to know because everyone is obsessed with pedals and also because i don't own a single pedal

>>70581835

You forgot LTD and PRS SE.

1988 mia tele w/ seydunc classic 59 at the neck, looking to replace the bridge pickup... any recommendations for jazz/country?

so guitars with trems get out of tune easy unless they're a floyd rose as i understand. if i take off the tremolo bar is that still true though? also what about low tunings? i saw a vid by a guy on how to drop tune a floyd rose and he had to tape pennies together and put them in the back of the guitar where a bunch of springs were

>>70582113
well you could try again and build a rapport with them. might be worth it

small stores are great. staff really know their shit and my owner occasionally lets me play some of his vintage stuff. shit like half a century old models that must be worth over 10 grand

>well you could try again and build a rapport with them. might be worth it
pardon the term but are you a cuck? why would i try to cozy up to a salesman who acted rude as fuck?

>>70582224
Taking out the bar still isn't enough. You would have to effectively hardtail the guitar; i.e. lower the bridge to be flush with the body (so no space between the bottom of the bridge and guitar body). The thing with the pennies is so the bridge doesn't pull back. That's still a half measure though - if the bar were used at this point it could only make the bridge go one way, unless the other side of the trem bar too was blocked (usually with change, wood, etc.)

>>70582310
i hate trems so much. never once have i felt the urge to use one, NEVER ONCE! not even when i was just starting out!

>>70582224
Forgot to add when doing this, you don't need to use all 5 springs (you can, but it'd be redundant as 3 springs is adequate). Also, the two screws pulling the bridge bar toward the guitar neck heel (mind you this is all in the back cavity) should be as screwed as tightly and as close as possible to the neck heel.

Only certain types of music really benefit from pedals(more so its the genres typical guitar sound), most music you can play without them. Pedals are just fun sometimes, but they can really be distracting at the same time. Im assuiming your amp has a dirty channel, clean and distorted sounds will be good enough for just about everything.

>>70581936
they're incredibly fun, and play well for their price

>>70582308
>are you a cuck?
yeah, let's not throw childish memes around eh

he probably acted grumpy because working in a guitar store is hard work. customers are arrogant, demanding, rude, waste time, play all their stock horribly and then leave. if you actually talk to staff you'll find they're as passionate as you and willing to respect or at least give you the time of day, even if it's just a conversation.

http://www.schecterguitars.com/pickups/single-coil-pickups/monsterton-pt/monstertone-pt-bridge-914-detail

Schecter custom shop just relaunched their pickups.

Before they made guitars they made the best pick up replacements back in the 80s. They became collectors stuff after they got bought and started with guitar making.

The I like the Pasadena's ALOT. Great blues clean sound.

The one I linked are nice for what you are looking for, it has more output to give it a blues sound but also slide up into country territory.

They also make a humbucker that is stacked to fit a single coil slot. You could buy a push/pull volume and then tap the stacked humbucker for the classic tele sound or use the full thing to make your guitar more versatile.

Just a thought.

he didn't want to let me play a guitar before buying it, sat me down on a chair and expected to watch me while i played. he was walking back to me and i had bent down to turn on the amp i had plugged the guitar into and he started yelling at me

Sweetwater is by far my favorite online retailer. Any time I've made a big purchase they've called me to confirm and are really upfront about what your buying and answer any questions you have. I live in Illinois so it's usually next day shipping for free. I've made similar big purchase from other retailers. Musicians friend is by far the worst. I got the wrong pickups, then the ones I ordered went on backorder and it took a month and a half for a refund. Guitar center is decent but they always try to rip you off if you go in person. Buy local or Sweetwater.

wow you could afford your four $200 guitars without a credit.

OUT, OUT, OUT I SAY.
COME BACK WITH A GUITAR MADE IN THE USA.

>>70582551
The only option out there that looks solid is this thing from roland thats really ugly. You can get a full setup for about $700 with a synth module, i think the pickup alone is around $200. I looked at it almost a year ago and it seemed alright, but not good enough for what i wanted to do. I just started learning to play keyboards, cheaper and exactly what i needed. And having the challenge of learning an instrument again was nice.

Shawbucker is an excellent pickup, if slightly microphonic.

Back row, left to right
GC-1 Strat (see above post)
1986 E-series MIJ Contemporary (see above post)
1983 US Standard two-knob Strat
2005 HSS US Standard in sienna sunburst
2005 partscaster, US Deluxe bosy in metallic aquamarine, US Standard neck, Fender SCN pickups
2015 partscaster, Azted Gold US FSR body, US Standard neck, Shawbucker and Fat 50s

front row
1987 Us Standard in gunmetal blue metallic
1987 MIJ 52 reissue Tele from the last thread

The last four Strats and the Tele are all fitted with stainless steel frets.

Should I buy a vintage 1971 Strat pickup or a brand new Lindy Fralin or Seymour Duncan vintage sounding pickup? For the neck btw

everybody knows /mu/ is nothing but gay guys and young girls.

Hey you great people, I've been thinking a lot about this recently while listening to my favourite blues artists, like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix... You know them all. I don't have to tell you
So what I was thinking about: is blues dead? I do agree there are some great blues artists, like John Mayer. But never again something like Hendrix existed. Someone who can play the blues and people still like whether they love blues or not.
I play Blues myself. I love it. It is really satisfying. I'm a teenager and that's my problem. (don't start with the "Wrong generation" shit) if I wanted to start a band to just play blues I will not find anyone! All these musicians want to play metal and stuff like this. Don't get me wrong, I really like metal and like to play it too. But blues is really something special and I think modern blues artist lost the feeling of the past.
What happened to Blues?
P.S. I'm on my mobile phone and am sorry if the post is unstructured or full of mistakes
Happy Guitar playing anyone!

Who cares where its made if it sounds good? Stupid fucks that think that extra cash gives better performance. Purists that cant really play but make excuses why someone that can play better than them sucks, because their gear. No guitar is going to make you sound good with a fucked up attitude like that, no matter where it is made or how much it costs.

So please continue throwing bait and Ill continue pointing out the obvious retardedness in your posts. Keeps these moving along.

what do i do

>>70583001
finally someone with taste.

I'm looking to get one guitar to do everything with.

I was wanting the S/S/S but the shawbucker has made me think twice. What do you recommend.

Have you bought any other nice brand guitars? how do they compare to the Fender?

I'm considering a Musicman or Gibson as well.

>>70583042

>>70583109
Fresh strings? Stretch the strings out a bit.

>>70583071
Yea the bonus of a modern pickup would be price and reliability, idk how used up a vintage one would be

>>70583109
Well, is it set up correctly?

>>70583042
The problem I have with blues is amateur blues bands who think they're great. Half-hour guitar solos of relentless unimaginative pentatonic drudgery are not really creative. The only person who really gets off on it is the guy playing the solo, even the other band members must get bored of it.

Plus the lyrics always tend to be woah, my baby done left me, I'm so lonely woah baby baby, guitar solo. And there's just no surprises in it any more, three chord tricks and blues scales all the way.

>>70582961
Neat. Id look further into it before spening the money and going through the setup.

>>70583139
nope

>>70583149
no, the intonation is fucked. but i didn't know that would affect open string tunings though, i thought it would only be bad higher up the neck.

>Play metal
>Only 24.75 scale guitars

I will never be able to properly intonate my guitar and I want to die

>>70582954
The right image is existentialism, not nihilism.

>>70583161
I think there is a free trial of it and I already have an audio interface so I should be good to give it a try in the next couple days.

>>70583111
The big advantage of the Shawbucker is that it works brilliantly alongside single coil pickups. It's low output for a humbucker but that works in a Strat because you don't have that massive jump in output when you move to the bridge pickup. It's not wax potted so it's got a really nice open airy sound and tight bass response. Easily my favourite humbucker but then I'm not a fan of massive amounts of gain.

I've only bought Fenders. My first ever proper guitar was an E-series Squier that I bought in 1986 ... then gave away to my brother. Probably worth a shitload of cash now.

>>70583246
Share your findings here please.

>>70583207
try moving the bridge saddle towards the pick ups.
maybe the strings need to be lengthened.
or take it to a shop and have a professional set it up.

>>70583232
It shouldn't matter for the most part providing you're using thick enough strings and your tuning isn't really low. There was a guy here who played short scales in A Standard without intonation issues.

>>70583308
I use 12 - 60 and the g string is all warbly

>>70583090
you've never played a nice guitar in a nice amp anon.

The squires and and epiphones and all that other garbage gets plugged in to an amp that is also garbage and it always puts out the same overwound muddy always distorted shit sound.

You buy a nice amp and plug those guitars in and their true shit is reavealed. But you plug in A US strat or a Gibson ES-335 and you can actually hear the guitar differences and you can hear the actual noise the guitar is making and its a completely better experience.

I suppose a peasant wouldn't know that.

Even Chapman that fucking pleb can tell blindfolded.

>>70583296
i'm gonna intonate it tomorrow, it's long overdue anyway. i just don't see how that will affect the strings going out of tune

>>70583207
What guit?

>>70583363
give it a whole fresh setup. also are you strings winded on the tuners correctly?

>>70583299
>"All three arose from the human experience of anguish and confusion stemming from the Absurd: the apparent meaninglessness in a world in which humans, nevertheless, are so compelled to find or create meaning. The three schools of thought diverge from there. Existentialists have generally advocated the individual's construction of his or her own meaning in life as well as the free will of the individual. Nihilists, on the contrary, contend that "it is futile to seek or to affirm meaning where none can be found." Absurdists, following Camus's formulation, hesitantly allow the possibility for some meaning or value in life, but are neither as certain as existentialists are about the value of one's own constructed meaning nor as nihilists are about the total inability to create meaning."

>>70583337
D'Addario EXL148? What tuning are you in? If it's C# or lower you most likely just need to change to a wound third to solve the problem.

>>70583340
>epiphones

Those aren't just low budget Gibsons you know right? They have more signature models than copies and have been played by numerous big name acts.

Squire's not so much. But if you want to put down 5 grand on a guitar, amp and head by all means.

>>70583340
>The squires and and epiphones and all that other garbage gets plugged in to an amp that is also garbage and it always puts out the same overwound muddy always distorted shit sound.

I dont have entry level shit. I agree, a squite in a marshall hd100 sounds like lukewarm shit.

>You buy a nice amp and plug those guitars in and their true shit is reavealed. But you plug in A US strat or a Gibson ES-335 and you can actually hear the guitar differences and you can hear the actual noise the guitar is making and its a completely better experience.

And whats a nice amp to you the gear snob? Modded classic 30? Nope cost too little to be any good. Same for a bugera with some upgraded parts. For me part of the fun is buying affordable gear and doing some mods to improve it.

>I suppose a peasant wouldn't know that.

Dont have to spend a fortune to sound gold. Dont need a bunch of fancy processors and effects. A tube amp with sone reverb with a solid built guitar with some hotrodded pickups and its good. You will sound bad no matter what you use if you have a bad attitude and an inflated ego. Tone is 90% in the fingertips and no other way about it.

Plus if I gigged with a guitar that cost more than $200 some jackass would steal it first chance, or break it because they are butthurt snobs.

Truss rod is fully tightend baritone strings are made for b standard and I am tuning them up a full step. That's like having 9's in F sharp standard.

>>70583634
damn, if the truss rod's fully tightened and the neck's still deflecting then I guess it's time to tune down or use lighter strings

>>70582530
The effect of the wood is minimal. It's the dogshit pickups they ship the fuckers with that make them sound so awful.

B to C is a half step. You should be able to resolve the issue using a similar tension wound string instead of the third the set comes with.

>>70583665
Yeah that was with thirteens all the way through. 12's with an added wound third should be good, it's just annyoing having to buy seperate singles.

>>70583513
High end Epis are actually pretty good guitars like MiM fenders.

I've had enough experience with MiM Fenders to know that they have problems.

Gibson had a $3000 Tom Delonge ES-335 (amazing guitar btw). Obviously nobody who likes Blink 182 has $3000 to spend on guitars. When they put it in the epiphone line up it sold great because $500 is easier to find. It still has the Gibson pick up too I doubt the wood is dead, the construction is as clean, as the real deal.

The artists usually only play Epiphone because they get a cut from sales. Who is going to buy a guitar the artist doesn't play.

Tom Delonge played a Fender strat for several years but he actually recorded with a Les Paul, and he actually played Custom Shop prototypes fender gave him. He only brings out the epiphones and MiM strats to give away to fans.

Schecter Diamond series and the artist series from Epi and Fender are IMO the only cheap guitars worth buying because they have American / custom shop parts on them and are only assembled in asia/mexico .

i'd say 90% of your sound comes from technique and execution while 10% is from gear

Try using used blacked out MIJ Ibanez. You can get them for $300-500, they play amazingly, and they look like every other Ibanez ever made. They're a great live guitar because of it.

Weller comes to mind, mained a $500 Epiphone for as long as I can remember. If it's good enough for 60k people it's good enough for your bedroom honestly.

is getting a strat with a floyd rose for low tuning a bad idea? i never plan on using the trem, it's just the closest thing i see to what i want on sweetwater. i'd really prefer a fixed tailpiece honestly. i'm not going to have a trem bar in it if i buy it

Some people will 'oopsie' and fuck up your nice guitar if you give them the chance.

Get a cheap one and upgrade the hardware and pickups, because those can be transplanted onto another guitar if some shitdick smashes your shit up.

I've been googling around about the whole theft thing and it seems like a lot of musicians leave their nicest instruments at home and do what you suggested for gigging. It sounds like a good idea and I enjoy DIY anyways. I'll probably leave the gorgeous looking one at home/record with it and get a cheap one that I upgrade for gigs.

How long until I don't get numbness anymore /gg/?

i don't like the look of les pauls at all, but they're the only model that have the specs i want on sweetwater (fixed bridge, humbucker bridge pickup and versatility). do i pay $600 on a guitar i don't like the look of?

>>70584369
Why would you not use it?

Anyway, once you set it up it would be fine with whatever tuning you use. It would just be more work, and more work if you wanted to change it again. Doesn't seem worth it if you dont plan on using it, unless you're getting some super deal or something

>>70581895

>>70581782
Will playing with feedback harm my tube amp? I was messing around and getting some cool tones but I stopped because I didn't want to fry my amp

>>70584856
As long as you play it. But you can find guitars with a fixed bridge and humbuckers that aren't les paul shaped... especially with a 600$ budget

>>70584856
Look for the parts you want and put them into a guitar you like.

>>70584900
I say numbness but it's more of them being extremely sensitive that I don't feel anything with them, only happens on the tip of my fretting fingers.

Riff Challenge:

Make a riff using only 4 notes. Octaves are fair game (i.e. E2 and E3 both count as one note, E)

>>70584926
i'm literally having to scroll through pages and pages of les pauls after les pauls of sweetwater. i saw an SG that had the specs i want but it was just $350ish so kinda lowend

>>70584970
oh, then after you build up your calluses. Should be like a week if you practice daily, potentially faster if you swap your fingertips with rubbing alcohol to dry them out a little.

>>70584856
Schecter diamond series has a bunch of double humbucker fixed bridges and you can coil tap post so pick out a shape you like from them.

>>70584920
Tube amps are a lot less delicate than people think. I've never heard of anyone damaging a tube amp by playing through it, as long as it's well maintained and has the bias set right you'll be fine.

>>70585049
The only reason not to buy online is if you've played the local one and it's well set up, and you don't want to risk the hassle of setting up the one you can order.

>>70584973

I had soneone tighten my str8ngs until the tremolo popped off the posts. Try tuning that mofo on stage last second without a backup. How the strings didnt break is just fucking miraculous. A pal had his 80s charvel chucked off stage and cracked the headstock. Being a neckthrough makes it harder to replace.

Ive only destroyed tubes by playing a bass or 8 string, but those were combos and it was less the tubes or amp and just the heavy vibrations.

>>70585041
ok thanks

>>70582224
They don't really go "out of tune", but sometimes if the nut is not properly lubricated or isn't cut wide enough to accommodate the string, they can get pulled flat or sharp when you use the bar. Bending the string will usually return it to pitch. Some people deal with this problem by setting it up so that the guitar is in tune AFTER you use the bar and bending regularly puts it out of tune. When quick dip with the bar brings it back to pitch.

I don't like that method personally. I have plenty of trem equipped guitars and I just hard tail them. I never use the bastards. If you're having tuning issues, try lubing the nut, and obviously set your trem up properly.

>>70585270
it's not vans that get broken into, people just pick them up and walk out when nobody is looking

Kind a want to try some ridiculous bends and trem stuff with them.

That is very true. Usually they get a bandmate or girlfriend to run a diversion and just haul the case out.

I do see alot of them stopping for food and getting their shit jacked too though. I know one guy that stopped for tacod and they stole the entire van. Most of his stuff ended up on ebay in mexico. Iirc he got most of it back.

Cables are the absolute worst though. Everyone asks to borrow them, and hardly return them. Theyll borrow 2 and return 1, swipe 2 others. Ive probably spent so much replacing cables over the years that I could buy a fucking gibson custom shop and orange rockerverb.

So I'm running Guitar Rig through a 2/2 I/O card to an amp, but some effects sound terrible in front of the preamp, how do I configure the thing to use that 2nd output to independently send effects through the amp's loop? (preferably without running a 2nd instance of GR)

If your using amp sims, just run it all in the effects return.

Alternatively, you could plug guitar in the amp, run the effects loop in and out from the interface.

>>70585522
They aren't out yet.

>>70585617
The general rule is that effects that alter volume or gain (distortion, EQ, compression) go before the preamp and time-based modulation effects (chorus, flange, phase) go after with delay and reverb last in the chain.

As for assigning outputs, you do that in the control software for your sound card. And you'd most probably need a second instance of Guitar Rig to handle effects after the preamp.

Good luck coping with all that latency.

Shared sets in general are shit. Sharing and losing cables, setting up your rig, drummer having to share his $1k kit with some twat who'll batter it to pieces etc. All while techies moan at you to hurry up.

There are pros though, crowds are bigger and drunk which creates a much better atmosphere. Played last once to 6-700 people, great performance and (pathetically) felt like a rock star for once.

The list goes on.

The metal/emo kids here always want to borrow my shit. Problem is they wont return it without a gun in their mouth, or they batter it to shit, want to run their guitar through everyone else's amps, all 10 that are there, and half the time have no instruments of their own. Theyll just show up and expect me to hand over all my gear or they cry and do everything they can to get you blacklisted from the venue.

Thats how my buddy got his charvel fucked up. Loaned it to some mexican thrash metal 20 something and he though he was malmsteen and could toss shit around. RIP 86 Charvel model 6.

Honest question, and I'm already expecting asshole replies.
I play a shitty epiphone Les Paul, and personally I feel like the neck is limiting my ability.
I personally love playing funky riffs using alot of those triad bullshit, but I feel like it's alot harder on my epiphone than a usual fender that I play in Guitar Center.

should I stop bitching and keep practicing on my epiphone or start to invest on a C neck shaped guitar? I've been playing for about a year now and I feel like my guitar's holding me back, but I'm not one to ever blame my instrument.

I've learned to leave all your gear huddled close to each of your bandmates gear when not playing usually at the drum set. Then when you guys go out to get something you leave one of you guys to sit on the throne and watch the shit while you guys go eat/drink/whatever, it's kindve shitty to leave one of you but it's how it is. I learned this when I met the Black Lips back in 2015, chill dudes. I own a 1970 LPB Competition Mustang and a Squier Mustang(pic related) and as much as I'd love to take my Fender with I know people will plot for it, the lead guitarist and I share a MiM Strat as a backup he mains a LP Studio.

Never lend or loan anyone your shit at gigs, even if you know them.

Only friends, and even then tell them not to fuck shit up or expect to pay repairs.

I ain't ever asked anyone for anything at a gig, our drummer usually has to borrow some cymbals and shit though which makes me fuckin' mad cause they always give me shit like "hey lend me your Fender dude, she asked *some other guy from some other band/club owner with gear* for a drum/cymbal man don't be a dick!" and I have to tell them to eat my shit.

1. Try new strings and a good setup. If that doesnt help.
2. Try a few different guitars. Maybe that fender is right for you, maybe you prefer a different profile.

>>70585879
Good shit. Yep. Its a good idea to keep the nicer stuff safe at home and have a couple hotrodded workhorses.

Worse case you have to replace a $400 guitar and $100 pickups. Not the greatest but beats tracking down an 80s guitar or dumping the cash into another upper tier guitar.

Im a 7 wanker so Im limited to some choices but I found a good beter to gig with, if I feel fancy take the saber out. Prefer my tele but hate to lose or damge it as there arent many 7 teles made. Bad enough my old roomates' dog ate the switch cap.

I started off on 14 gauge strings because I honestly thought thicker string meant smoother moving. I played with them for months and got really used to the heavy feel, but realized I can't bend comfortably. Plus literally bled profusiously at first. Then I dropped down to a step, and now I'm trying 9's, they make things WAY easier, honestly too easy where my high E keeps popping. I'm gonna get some 10s this week, maybe a higher gauge will help.

Thanks. Whether or not I'll be using amp sims depends on the Amp I get when I go to rehearsal, but sometimes you get something nice so I was thinking of ways to have both options in the same package. I was thinking of using the stereo splitter and 100% panning to each side to achieve this, so it'd be like:
Guitar > Soundcard L input > FX (compression, overdrive, etc.) > Soundcard L Output > Amp Input

Amp Loop Send > Soundcard R Input > FX(Delay, Reverb, etc.) > Soundcard R Output > Amp Loop Return

I say $4-600. Whatever you can settle with and be comfortable. You can take whatever you want, but you have to remain vigilant and keep your shit secure. Youll be the one replacing it all.

Just read up the thread for a few reasons why its better to leave the expensive gear at home. Not saying it will happen everytime but could happen anytime.

>>70586015

>>70586060
I meant setup as in string height adjustment and bridge/saddle tweaks. I started off poor. Still am, if you consider the opinions here. But I digress, setting the action to a tolerable height is what you seem to need. The 9s may be too low. 10s are what I prefer.

>>70586082
that's normal. some days i just don't have the time or would rather play some playstation.

>>70586078

If I'm being honest I've fixed my set up quite comfortable for how I started. 14s and the action was literally a fucking inch and a half high. I craved death. I'm cooling now tho.

>>70586015
I gigged with a $800k tele/amp for years, just be careful. Minor chip damage and switch piece fell off but who cares.

Just don't be one of those guys parading a classic model around.

>>70586082
i want to play 24/7 but my shit tendons wont allow it

>>70586147
>$800k tele/amp
that's almost a million dollar set up

>>70586147

what are some useless frequencies to cut off with EQ?

I went a year or two of maybe playing once a month. Just didnt have a band or any project to work on. Was good for me all in all.

>>70586141
Well keep doing what you are doing. Sometimes new gear just helps with your state of mind, motivation, and just plays better in your hands.

>>70586255
for under $400 it's not bad

>>70586255
Celluloid picks are horrible.

>>70586255
I wouldn't bother with a practice amp and spend the whole thing on the guitar.

>>70586255
i felt those picks to be trash, but some people like thin ones. i forget the name of the ones i play with, i think they're called jazz 3's

>>70586334
Do you want shorts? Because thats how you get shorts.

>>70586255
Go used on Reverb,
$200 Fender Super Champ
$150-$200 Squier VM
$15 Stand
$3-$15 set of picks

Yo yo! I really like Funk and I really like Jangle, any good effect pedal recommendations aside from the usual reverb, chorus and distortion?

>>70586480
Boss Auto-Wah

>>70586480
>funk
Envelope filter/auto wah
>jangle
Eq if you cant get jangley enough

>>70586514
>>70586505
Weird question, what's the difference between a normal wah pedal and an auto wah except ofcourse that the other's automatic, is one better than the other?

>>70586514
Any reccomendations/exmaples of eq for a good jangly sound?

>>70586555
Auto Wah can be set at a certain rate like a phaser or chorus and stays there so you don't have to go up/down and you can also set it at a humanly impossible speed

>>70586555
one is for normal people and the other for people that lost their legs

>>70586555
clean, treble and playing from the bridge

remember reading jangly johnny marr used heavy chorus too

>>70586602
That sounds awesome, if you play it fast enough it almost sounds almost identical to a tremolo pedal

>>70586609
Johnny Marr is my idol, personally trying to go close to his tone, hopefully some EQ modifying will help. Thanks.

6th nut too worn in /gg/?
I've already increased the action on this side, they're all in the right tune, just that if strum too hard my 6th string still gets a buzz.

Finished throwing the grill cloth and knobs on this bad boy. The grill cloth was a huge pain in the ass but totally worth doing it.

>>70586555
An envelope filter is basically a wah that follows your playing. Listen to one, youll immediately recognize it once you hear it.

>>70586764
morality gives life meaning, nignog

>>70586772
they are 500 bucks brand new how poor are you that you need to "wait until the go down in the used market"

>>70586657
in that case dedicate a lot of practice to alternate picking too, a lot of his sound comes from high and low string speedy strokes

really unique riff style, if I could play like anyone it would probably be him

>>70586772
I picked the amp up a couple weeks ago. It has the original speakers in it and had the footswitch. The Tolex is in mint condish. I bought the knobs from some dude on reverb who has a shit ton of em and ordered a square yard of the grill cloth from my local music shop.

>>70586772
What's the LED for? Is it stock or a mod?

>>70586819
Uniqueness :^)

>>70586824
you are morally obliged to take actions that result in the best moral outcome. thats the meaning in life

Fuck off with your meme philosophy
not only is it not related to guitars, its not related to music
you faggots deserve bans

>>70586793
It's not that i can't afford it, many factors go into it such as not being worth $500(you can get a used MIA Tele/Strat for that price) and the fact that I'm not going crazy about getting the new MiM Duo sonic, so I can wait a bit and get the added bonus of getting it cheaper

>>70586819

Have you tried removing your dick from the strings?

Got one of those cheap $9 cables from reverb and it only works when the jack isn't fully plugged into my guitar. I don't get any sound unless it's sticking out of the guitar by like 1/16th of an inch, regardless of which end is in the guitar and which end is in the amp. Is this common for cheap cables? I have other cables that work when fully plugged in, so I'm pretty sure there isn't anything wrong with the guitar.

>>70587111
Reverb cables are shit, I have the Orange patch cables and 2/3 of them broke within a month

>>70587111
buy cheap buy twice is especially true for jack leads

>>70587179
The bottom of her guitar looks like the bottom of some guys nuts.

>>70587111
Possibly, weird its not happening with the amp though.

Spend $20-$25 next time on a 20ft cable, thats been my go to range for a decade. Not the cheapeat shit, not in gimmick territory. Ive been gigging with the same 2 cables for 6 years now.

>>70587111
>>70587147
>>70587155

Try the Planet Waves American Stage cables, mine's the only cable that hasn't shit out on me after a few months.

>>70586998
>>70586998
Nah the Tolex is totally fine. I used a rag and simple green to clean the Tolex and the faceplate and it looks great. Hard to believe it's from the mid '70s now

>>70587183
Maybe your strings need changed?

>>70587232
When i got it some guy had it in his basement since the mid 80s his bandmate bought it New in 75' it had a pile of rat Shit in it that was a bitch to clean up and I haven't bothered to do any more cleaning after that. The grill aged well though. How much did you pay? I got $300 for mine before they got hyped up

>>70587213
Those are mine ;)
