/gg/ Guitar and Bass General

why does a bass only have 4 strings?
cause bassists can only count to 4!

Second for Japanese made LPs with P90s.

Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.

If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.

Be wary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.

Have a nice day.

Is there much of an improvement between a 2010 prs se and a 2015 prs se? I bought a 2010 used from guitar center for 420 in red but I found a 2015 prs se in blue with a floyd rose used for 550. I'd much prefer the blue over the red and I wouldn't mind have a floyd but I'm wondering if the electronics or build qaulity is better? I'm thinking about upgrading the pick ups anyways so it would be the electronics besides the pick ups.

The prs se from guitar center also has issues. I can't get the truss rod nut to tighten enough to actuall straighten out the neck. The pick ups are slanted inwards for some reason as well.

yeah but when you learn guitar you are also learning how to play bass

learning bass does not transition into playing guitar
you're only doing yourself a dis-favour

why do you think everyone plays guitar other than bass, hmm maybe because it's vastly superior?

How can I improve my lead work?

I've gotten really into The Smiths and Johnny Marr's style especially, and I tried to work some of it into my own playing but I'm a shitter and can only play chords/rhythm guitar.

Do I just pick song/riff of my choice and play it slowly until I can improve and play it quicker?

>>70688400
Ashdown do some nice bass compressor pedals, bit pricey though.

Thing with compressors is they add polish to a good sound. With a cheap bass and a crappy amp you won't hear much difference.

Anyone? I'm getting concerned that there is something seriously wrong with this truss rod. It won't tighten at all and I can see that there are still threads for this to go down on. The pick ups are also slanted inwards for some reason. I also found a prs se tremonti with a vintage tremolo for 447 woth 44 shipping that I could get instead or a se custom with a floyd for 497 with 20 shipping.

Tuner, because bassist dont seem to get the concept of turning down their volume when tuning on stage with a clip on. Also, they manage to lose them more often then they use them. A pedal is harder to lose, and it will mute you.

Or a compressor, because every bass player who chooses to pluck with their fingers because "it's superior" rather than playing whatever style fits the song best can't seem to get the concept of dynamics.

>Or a compressor, because every bass player who chooses to pluck with their fingers because "it's superior" rather than playing whatever style fits the song best can't seem to get the concept of dynamics.

A compressor kills dynamics.

Juay buy a used zoom and fuck around with it and figure out what you like best, then build a rig on it. For a $75 budget can find them easy enough at that.

>>70689836
Somewhat true. Most basses tend to have greater volume at the low strings. Slanting pickups can help but not always.

Theyd be better with an eq pedal with a lo/hi pass filter.

>>70689866
modern guitar finishes dont wear the same as they used to, you could play it for 50 years and it would wear like the classics did. so you are wrong.

Maybe but I am asking the opinions of the people in this thread. The stores are closed right now and I need to make the decision tonight. I bought a used prs from my local store and ordered some stringer savers for it's vintage tremolo but it turns out the truss rod is fucked up so Im returning it and ordering another one online. If I end up going with the floyd one I need to cancel the string savers order since they are ones for a normal prs tremolo and I have to cancel it by tonight.

>>70690235

>>70689836
I've noticed the same thing when I play. My B, E, A, and some times D, strings are louder than the G string.
Additionally, everything above the 5th Fret C on the G string is muted, with said C being nearly inaudible.
I've sort of fixed it by messing around with my pick up volumes, tone, and EQ levels on my bass.
C is still a dead fret, though. Think I need a new bass.

Justification for dropping wither $2,200 or $6,100 on a bass? A single dead fret that I rarely play. What's wrong with me?

>>70690184
Oh cool, bumblebee capacitors, well worth the $100 for a rewrapped item that isnt even nos. Oh yeah, they definetly sound different than the 10 cent ceramic or poly film capacitors. Theyre such an important part of tone(pun intended), especially when you keep your tone knob turned all the way up so no signal is feeding through them anyways.

Gibson are the apple of guitars.

No. Some wont stay in tune at all. Some will keep tune for weeks. After they get old they wont return to tuning after use. If its a licensed floyd rose expect it to not return to tuning because the edges at the pivot point will wear down.

So I feel like I should mention something about that...

the Bigsby problem I'm sperging about when they're mentioned isn't just a Bigsby problem. It's a problem with Tune O matics and all kinds of other bridges. When you have something feeding a string into a bridge, It should never have a large break angle. When you see ToM bridges that have a tailpiece set way under the bridge, that's also really bad for your guitar.

A lot of people alleviate this by putting their strings through it backwards so it wraps over the top of the tailpiece, which is totally unnecessary. They have screws on the tailpiece for a reason, turn them up and get it ALMOST even with your bridge.

If you ever want to not worry about this shit, get a Schaller Hannes. My only complaint about them is that some might not like the tone that comes with having a a composite graphite type material for your bridge. I have them on all of my "bright" guitars though

yeah none of this is correct
you're just trying to present your subjective opinion as objective fact

>>70690830
lol, it's just physics

break angles on a string are a necessary detriment, but you can minimize the problems from having them by having less

let me put it to you this way since you're not thinking about the physics at all most likely

It's widely accepted that NOT having a large back angle on your headstock like Gibson does is better. Why wouldn't it be the same for your bridge?

>>70690765

People don't like the gibson neck angle because drilling a space for the truss rod makes a weak point in the neck where they tend to break.

It's actually better for tuning stability to have that angle.

String trees are pointless on most guitars that have them, and are for sure pointless if you have compensated tuning pegs

The thing that breaks it isn't the angle itself, it's the fact that the truss rod requires a cavity be drilled that leaves very little wood. They've since put extra wood back there to fix it.
