It was said in the other thread, but you can't go wrong with:
Vox AC15
Fender Blues Jr
Blackstar HT20
Jet City JCA20H

For blues/rock stuff you're probably best off with the Fender and Vox.

>HE'S CONFUSING HIMSELF AGAIN

Since you seriously seem to be lost and retarded

Gibson has a large back angle on their headstock with no volute on most of their guitars, when you drop a gibson it is ALWAYS the first thing to go because the angle is (pointlessly) severe

it's not that the string has break angles you retarded fuck, break angles are necessary, it's that gibson's retarded design introduces TOO MUCH of one by angling the headstock way WAY back

lol holy shit you're so incredibly dumb, you're so dumb, i can only imagine the first time you tried to adjust something on your guitar that you just shit your pants in fear and confusion

i feel like i actually figured out through your autistic posting that you're missing the "large" part of the post

if you need a 5 degree break angle to be even, having one a few degrees higher is optimal, having a 20+ degree break angle is just asking for trouble

What do you think of 7 string guitars /gg/?

>>70692044
>>70692039
Dude. Its literally just the strings putting tension on the weakest part of the neck.

Its a fact.

Gibson was talking about it at NAMM and added a bunch of wood there (something Schechter did a long time ago) to strengthen the weak point.

The other way to strengthen it is to lower the angle.

You clearly have no idea how physics works.

Just bought a Super Sonic 22 head. What's a great 2 x 12 cab that I can buy for it? I've never had to get a cabinet before.

Got tired of dealing with a single tone knob and no other features on my Tiny Terror. So I'm selling that.

>>70692443

Anything with the right speakers, really. Big ones of quality that come to mind are Avatar, Emperor, or a matching Fender.

Look up speakers more than cabs. Celestion Greenbacks go well with those.

>>70692351
no as in nah

you didnt say shit
>>70692330
that wasnt me, it's a steep angle because it's string thru, which is also worse than a rear entry bridge

also more work to make..why

break angle faggots hammering another nail in the /gg/ coffin

>>70692469
I'm very happy with the greenback in my terror so this looks like good advice.

I'll do some research and hit up my local store to test cabs once the head gets in. I'm looking for a Bassman kind of tone.

>>70692443

Then return the head and buy a 6505

instead of feeding directly behind at a shallower angle, they feed through the bottom, closer and steeper

WHats your budget? For $400-$500 you can get a nice used 2x12 with V30s like Dr.Z's and they come in Blonde so they'll match with your Super Sonic. You can also order a custom Avatar, Morgan or Jet City cab for under $500

Hey guys. So I've got a Fender P-bass clone from some generic company. Would it be stupid to sand their logo off the headstock, apply my own decal (with my name or some shit), and paint the rest of the bass?

I'd like to turn it into something cool, and it's some generic clone with no real value, so I don't feel bad about changing it like this. I'd probably paint it cherry red and buy a pearl pickguard.

I'd also like to redo the electronics in it. Pickups/etc. are fine but the bass seems to drop audio sometimes regardless of what cable I use. Is this a problem that is solvable by redoing the solder? It's a generic clone so I'm sure its done in the shittiest way and the solder is old, but I haven't checked.

you arent allowed to do that

>>70692685
I want to spend about $500 on the cabinet since I'll probably use it forever. I'm willing to spend more if it's worth it but I would like to spend less.

I was actually just browsing the avatar site and that seems like a great value. I'll have to check Morgan and Jet City as well.

It's worth doing to learn more about your instrument. Don't be disillusioned to think that your knockoff partscaster is anything but a knockoff partscaster, however.

New pickups, pots and output jacks are a pretty easy change.

the santana body is definitely a differnet shape

I don't see Santanas go for less regularly, they go in the same price range

Santanas have a shorter scale length, so it takes less tension to bring them to tune, making the strings slinkier and easier to bend

>>70693395
Does the shorter scale length change the way the instrument sounds at all? On reverb the Santanas in the color I want are going for 495 and the Custom 24s for 550 with the PRS tremolo and one for 497 but 44$ shipping with a floyd rose. I'm debating whether or not I really want to pay more to get the custom 24 without the floyd or if I should just get the santana.

>Does the shorter scale length change the way the instrument sounds at all?

Slightly. Shirter scale is better for higher notes, longer scale better for lower notes.

>>70693475
yes, part of the reason a strat or a tele has a bit more snap/spank/high end/whatever is because of scale length, they're .75 inches longer than a Gibson. they also hold up better for lower tunings when they have a longer scale

floyd rose bridges are incredibly annoying imo, i wouldn't mess with it

>>70693462
double the memes

>>70693470
This is what I've heard but how would you go about it? Just grab a speaker that does great low end and another that does great high end?

I could imagine that getting kind of muddy (counter-intuitively) but maybe not.

>>70693523
that's the basic idea, I gave up on guitar cabs years ago though so I'm not really able to give speaker suggestions

I may have made a mistake. What's a good babbies first bass amp? I'm probably going to snag a used Jazz Bass.

>>70693499
>>70693509
That does make the longer scale sound better. I want the option of trying out lower tuning. I've heard that the floyd rose is harder to deal with but I'd also like the option of being able to go hard on the trem bar without going out of tune. Still, I'm leaning strongly towards the PRS trem instead of the floyd because of how much easier it will be. It's going to cost an extra $29 to get it without the floyd though. The seller with the one cheaper floyd unit only has like 7 ratings though while the one with the more expensive one has over 1,000 good ratings as well as a floyd one for the exact same price.

I have to return the PRS I got used from Guitar Center because the truss rod in it is fucked and for some reason the intonation on the 6th string just cannot be set right.

>>70693622
hey

>>70693601
here, I've used a bunch of shit for bass which is what I primarily play but just about every Tech21 Sansamp for bass is even better than their guitar stuff. i feel like a shill but god damn I really like their stuff

>>70693645
You can go really damn hard on a stock SE trem, especially if you lube the nut

sucks to hear about the return though

>>70693679
The return is part of what's making be second guess myself so much on this I think. I'm also considering going with a 7-string prs in the same color but it costs 750$ with 50$ shipping and doesn't have any kind of trem. Plus the selection of 7-string packs is making me lean away from that one.

>>70693622
Fender Rumble, budget Ampeg or a 90s Acoustic

>>70693731
Yeah the standard 7 packs suck for the 7th. I am using dunlop heavy core of all strings now. Other option is to buy a 6 pack and a 7th single. Though some brands dont make anything beyond a .52.

>>70692105
Same. I asked about peoples opinions on a Modulus Funk Unlimited 4. As soon as I said $6,100, I was told it was a waste...

It did lead me to discover the Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Neck Through. Looking at a 4HH in Pacific Blue Burst for $2,200.

The Modulus I'm looking at is in Black Cherry Burst with Quilt Maple. And a Lane Poor pick up. That pick up alone is worth more than most Squires...

>>70693622
I just ordered an Ampeg Micro-CL "stack" for moving around practice spaces because a 4x10 is a bitch to move. For $350 they seem pretty nice. My main rig is an Ampeg V4B and SVT-410he. Ill report back when that lil' guy gets here and let ya know how it sounds. (a lot of people have been into em I guess)

>>70693815
>>70693815
imo the Modulus is a bit much for that price, my reasoning being that you could get the same hardware or better and put a moses graphite neck on something for thousands less

Since you're into the high end stuff, have you ever tried a Lightwave bass? they're fucking incredible

I asked about graphite necks before, and no one responded. I'm just getting into the high-end market, though.

I was interested in putting a graphite neck on my Ibanez GSR205SM. Got it for about $320, and really enjoy it. However I've had problems with neck warping, fret buzz, and dead zones. Same with my other Ibanez. A Iceman ICB550.

I kind of want to get a Modulus because they were designed around the Graphite neck, not the other way around. Additionally, they have Lane Poor pick ups, and BadAss II bridges. I've never heard of anyone having the neck warping, fret buzz, dead zone problems with a Modulus.

I'll look into Lightwave.

The previous suggestion I got was Dingwall... their used basses are about as much as a used Modulus, so not good reason to get that instead...

Question, do they use a different material for the fret wire on cheap guitars? Like a shittier quality, softer metal?
I basically want to buy a cheap guitar and mod it for fun, but I'm not keen on replacing all the frets. Can I just have them leveld, crowned and polished and they'll basically be as good as any other guitars?

Status in the UK make graphite necks for instruments. You could see if they can make a neck for your bass.

>>70692738
Def go with the Fender. The Hofner is a great bass and I never played one I didn't like, but its a bit of a one trick pony in terms of usable tones. That is of course you want the Hofner sound, and you really only wanna use Flatwounds with one. The Mustang will probably have a wider range of usable tones and will probably be a better bass in the long run.

>>70694871
Shame modulus went out of producution, I tried an Quantum 4 and a Funk Limited 4 and both those basses were awesome.

>>70694886
I haven't tried the neck through model but I have played the bolt on HH one. They are pretty versatile. The necks are big so if you like that then you will find them comfortable. I prefer the older stingray pre-amps but the new ones have the centre notch which is handy if you don't want a strongly coloured sound as the older pre-amps are more aggressive imo.

>putting a graphite neck on my Ibanez GSR205SM.
That's kind of a terrible idea imo. The neck pocket is probably poorly cut to begin with, which would just (probably) translate the "weak point" in the bass from the neck to the neck pocket or somewhere else.
Also I don't want to sound like a dickhead but if you've had neck warping issues on two basses maybe it's the way you maintain them that's at fault.
That said, I have a GIO and they're made out of ass.

>>70694348
My local music store has a really shitty choice too, loads of expensive gibsons/fenders and just "metal guitars" esp/ibanez/schecter models.
They don't even have Squiers so I'm guessing they don't have a clue to what they're doing.
Their bass stock is 1/4 the size of their guitar stock but more diverse somehow. The most expensive bass I've played was an Ibanez SR506, clocking at an exorbitant price of €600

>>70693441
Teles are waaay more overrated than Les Pauls. Shit every Fender instrument is overrated as balls

The first one was because I left it in a car on a really hot day once... The other one, I don't know... I keep it in a temperature controlled room at school, in a locked Gator case. And when its at home, its in its case, in the house.

It was my Iceman ICB550 that had the bigger problem. I'm not sure if the neck on my GSR205SM is warped or not, but its starting to get fret buzz in frets it didn't before.

So, I've recently started learning guitar (I'M A COPMLETE NOOB), there's one thing that confuses me a lot: Why there are dozens of different chords with the same name?

>>70698395

A chord is made up of at least three notes. You can achieve those same 3-4 notes in multiple places on the fretboard. Just because it's a different octave or in a different place doesn't mean the same group of notes isn't the same chord. Dig?

>>70698395
They are made up of the same notes and played at different positions on the neck. Notes are repeated throughout the fretboard. Its the same exact chord played in a different octave.

>>70698416
>>70698428
Dig, thanks, senpais.

>>70698395
I have a similar question. So if I tune my guitar down to, say C standard and play what would normally be, for example, a G chord. Is this the same chord still? The notes are obviously different but it still sounds similar.

>>70698573

The chord voicing is the same. However, what would have been a G major would then be an E major.

I was just helping my neighbor do some work on a dolly (read: this old man entertained my millennial ass as I made a fool of myself for an hour and a half not knowing what a wrench is), and he asked me if I could take a look at some electronic stuff his brother left him.

So, I shit you not, he whips out an original 60's Fender Bassman tube head with the 2x15 cabinet and an original Mosrite Venture, all in used but great condition. The wrap on the amp and the finish of the bass could use some TLC, but fuck man.

Luckily, I convinced him to clean them off, get them to Sam Ash for some refinish and legit appraisal, and to get them out of his dusty, humid garage. He says he wants me to come by and give it a test run once it's all set up. Fuck man, owning a house in a neighborhood where you're everyone's junior by at least 15 years is great sometimes.

>same with 5 string basses

no

not the guy that's being autistic over you playing a 7, but it's really not the same

>>70702335
You'll have to excuse me for not knowing the difference between a 5/16th and another sized wrench on sight, if I had known that was a requisite for being a real man I would have studied that. My apologies.

WELL EXCUSE ME for not knowing general knowledge!! why should i have to learn that!!
but right now I have an airport to boycott!! maybe my seniors will apreciate me there!!

i'm such a millennial haha ;p

>>70702436
would've done this as well
fuck old people

>>70702394
It is, objectively, both give more options on the same position.
Subjectively, I think both are as easy to adapt to as their regular counterpart.

Also I'm not the guy playing a 7, only got a 6 right now and I'm going for an 8 in a few months.

>>70702399
>the difference between a 5/16th and another sized wrench on sight
oh yeah boi reading what's written on the wrench is hard

>>70702493
realistic application is the difference

90% of tunes don't require a 7 string guitar, and a ton of 7 string tunes can be done using a downtuned 6

can't say the same for basses

>>70702515
Maybe he writes his own music? I don't really see the downside of having an extra string.

>>70702535
not saying there is one, I just dont think it's the exact same thing as having a 5 string bass, which as a gigging bassist is pretty much standard if you have to cover everything

*plays indie pop*
ugh what wrench size is this...

>>70702556
Probably depends on the type of music. I think 7 strings are becoming more and more common in metal.

>>70702515
Oh I see what you're talking about. You're absolutely right.

>>70702535
Downside is just limited choice and a little extra muting to do.
I'm just extending my range for the extra chordal voicings and the way I play.
You also get to play in more keys with a capo.

>>70702464
>all that projection

Tell me where your ego touched you so we can begin the healing process of you getting the fuck over yourself.

>>70702493
I have to remember that the people on this site are autistic and can't tell the difference between hyperbole and literal statements.

I don't literally not know how to wrench. I am not literally incapable of reading. I was using slight exaggeration for entertainment's sake. The literal events that occurred were that he asked me to hand him a couple different wrenches and sockets, and I had to take more than a couple seconds to find them because I could not discern the exact difference between them without reading the inscribed descriptions. In this capacity, I was certainly less experienced than the older, more experienced craftsman who found the situation comical, as I am IT/compsci major with 8 different certifications but it took me nearly a minute to find a wrench.

I hope the level of literalism I used was sufficient for your mental handicap.

Who's the most easily triggered?
I'm gonna go with dadrock and Gibson fags

>still wasnt literal enough
I can't go deep enough into your disorder to communicate any better. I'm sorry anon, you're just going to have to be woefully lost in the sea of the most basic of human communication.

Are floyd roses really that much harder to deal with than a standard tremolo? I'm trying to choose between two of the same guitar with the same prices one with a one of the cheaper licensed korean floyds and one with a prs trem which from my understanding is supposed to be better than other brands of trem.

My main concern is extra difficulty in tuning, restringing, and setting intonation. But I am also concerned about tuning stability. From my understanding the korean floyds aren't as good but it should be easy to drop in one of the better floyds which I wouldn't be opposed to doing.

Also, is it true that the Edge is better than the floyd?

holy fuck stop being so passive aggressive
what is your problem

>>70702743
wew lad that's a lot of butthurt

>>70702262
Lel. Stay mad. You cant play a 6 string worth a fuck so youre mad about anything different you would also struggle with.

I do also play bass. And banjo. And keyboards. You obviously only blow flutes.

>>70702399
>excuse me for not knowing the difference between a 5/16th and another sized wrench on sight


Theyre marked with the size on the handles.

so how do ragas sound on guitar anyway?

>>70702988

>using a downtuned 6

You lose your high e string detuning. Or whatever. You can tune to b standard or drop a and keep your high e, or tune gcgcgce for some cool stuff. There rrally isnt much downside to a 7 string.

>heavier
Nah, plenty of 15 pound led payls around

>strings cost more and sets suck
True, use just strings or something. Curt mangan us good

>harder to play
In your mind. Dont ride up your low e and you wont have to worry much. If youre sloppy, youre sloppy regardless if the guitar

>djent
Yeah. Doesnt mean I have to use it that way.

>hardly anything uses that tuning
For pop rock shit, sure.

Worst part for me is limited pickup choices. Maybe I dont want actives or high gain bare knuckles.

But why do I have to justify my style or purchases to /gg/?

This so much.
Why is there no SSS ERGs ?

>>70703153
Try finding a 7 string tele bridge pickup.
