Are these meme basses, I really want one because if the aesthetic, but I don't want to drop all that money on a meme bass

Is there actually any practical difference between a guitar and a more expensive version of it?

For example an $800 Strat vs an $1800 Strat.

>>71083653
Better quality finish, nicer wood, higher end pickups and better electronics thats it

practically, they are both pieces of wood with strings so no.

>>71083653
$800 and $1800, not much.... $150 and $800 HUGE difference. It's mostly the cheap fretwork,hardware and electronics you have to look out for. Most mid-range guitars are usually pretty good and comparable to their expensive counterparts.

>>71083653
the difference between a mim strat and a MIA strat is that a mexican made one in mexico and the other in california. unless its a custom shop or vintage reissue, dont buy USA fender.

>>71083859
Why buy Fender when a top line Squier will do?

The cheaper the guitar the less man hours it took to build essentially.

THe super cheap ones cut more corners. The custom shops are usually made all by hand and the US and Mexican ones come off a line. The US line spends more time per instrument than mexico where they spend more time than asia.

Really the important stuff is the wood, which has to dry out before its cut or it will warp as the seasons change and moisture enters and leaves the guitar which will make it unplayable. (I have this problem in an $800 Asian guitar). The frets are filed, rounded in the US, not in the others, the bridges are more detailed and have the newer designs in the US. Picks ups in Asia are wound fast and non specifally making them super dirty and muddy. The tone knobs in the Asian instruments barely do anything but they do work. Sometimes they glue wires instead of soldering them to save time. The US guitars go through a pleking machine.

The midrange guitars get 80% of the way to the high ends and if you know how to work on your instrument you can get it there UNLESS the wood itself isn't properly treated then the wood itself is trash and so is the whole instrument.

My Asian midrange guitar is unplayable in winter when the moisture leave the air and leaves the guitar. The fretboard almost bubbles and the 16th fret activates when you press the string down on fret 5-16.

The USA has a premium for several reasons

1. US workers get paid more than Mexican ones
2. USA woods sit for much longer in a dehumidifying chamber
3. the guitar is finished and polished and measured to much greater detail in the USA. They simply spend more time on them.

The high end Mexicans are good sounding guitars but they still have the types of problems that arise when they age. Some of which I named above.

If you are savy you can fix them but its kind of like fixing a car where you could do ti but it takes time to learn to do it right.

Where was your asian guitar made? I've personally had wonderful luck with some japanese guitars.

I think that asia is too big to generalize this topic the way you are. There are great and terrible instruments coming out from those areas. It just depends on the manufacturer and the location of the factory.

Not true, every professional guitarist I know is way more of a gearfag than I am. I don't know where this "only amateur players care about gear" meme comes from..

Overdrive or fuzz for bass?

>>71084557
>"only amateur players care about gear"

Thats not the point. The point is, where a guitar is physically manufactured is of little concern if it feels right to you. I play my Vietnamese LTD more than my Usa Gibson. It costs a 5th the price but I just enjoy playing it more. I don't give a shit about how dry the wood is or what season it was mad in or whatever.

China.

The Japanese factory I really didn't mean to count as Asia. Those instruments are basically US quality. The instrument I had from there was flawless.

Basically the general trend is Korea>China>Indonesia.

I've owned many mid range guitars and the older ones all had terrible problems that revealed themselves with age.

Id bet most people buying in this price range wont be playing the instrument by time it becomes apparent though to be honest.

USA guitars play great and age well.

The chink and spic instruments I feel you really roll the dice with.

The instruments are usualy made from small pieces of wood, the metal even Mexican ones are not stainless steel but some chink scrap metal alloy.

Its funny all these comparison videos online always have some guitar shop selling brand new instruments from the factory going wow it plays great nad its way cheaper.

Give it 5+ years of gentle use and compare.

I've even had bridges on Mexican teles rust. Just silly stuff.

If you happen to get the nice guitar with some iron and cobalt in the bridge and the wood that was dried properly and throw in some pickups you'll do ok. But you could end up with a piece of junk that has to be replaced.

>>71084456
>I-its just a piece of wood, its what you play that counts

fuck off poor fag. THe Mexicans are 3 or more pieces of wood in the body and the US 2. The US wood is treated to remove moisture the Mexican is not. The US wood I polished better and cut more conservatively. The neck is PLEKd and smoothed and made from one piece of wood. The Mexican two or more.

More glue in the instrument the less it vibrates the more it weighs.

That's just the wood alone.

Not to mention if you buy US you aren't buying a Mexican immigrant and sending money to mexico .

Ah gotcha. I've never had a chinese guitar but even the korean made ones I've tried have been severely hit or miss.

>>71084571
If you have to literally just have one, probably overdrive.

But man I have so much fun with fuzz. The Dirt Transmitter makes any bass sound like the end of days. God, it makes me so fucking happy.

For $800 I shouldn't have to raise the action to ridiculous levels my friend not that it is that simple.

I'm not a poorfag so I can afford a guitar that was made right.

The question was 'what is the difference between a MiM start and a USA strat. I'm here telling you the difference I have experienced after owning many of such instruments.

If some of you guys can't afford a nice instrument or want to play with your action 5mm high over 12fret go ahead and get a gook guitar. But lets not pretend there is no difference.

>>71085152
Play what makes you happy man. I was going to sell my Strat to get a Tele. Bought a Squier Affinity Tele and love the shit out of it.

The bridge is too bright for me. I usually play more rhythm so I use the middle pickup the most.

Yours looks like a different guitar, It doesn't look cheap anymore, and now I'm feeling the black pick guard on the butterscotch looks kind of ugly.

Question regarding "tone"woods. Hollow body guitars sound very different to solid body guitars despite having the same pickups (i.e. Les paul vs 335) and if you stick a Tele pickup in a strat it doesn't sound like a Tele due to the metal plate surrounding the bridge pickup not being present on a strat.

So surely that would suggest there is more to a sound than purely the pickups as the anti "tone"wood people suggest?

I'm not sure I buy the fact there are massive differences between different woods, but surely it isn't unreasonable to suggest it will have a slight impact on the sound of the guitar?

>>71084597
>I don't give a shit about how dry the wood is or what season it was mad in or whatever.
But if the wood isn't treated properly you may well run into problems if you take it out on tour and play constantly in different environments / temperatures / humidities. You don't want to be constantly adjusting your guitar in that situation.

Granted for 95% of players a mid range guitar is all you need. Put it this way, if my USA Strat was stolen I would replace it with a good MIM one. I love it, but the new Mexican ones are so good I don't see the point.

Is Sonic Blue the best color?

>>71085662
I find this as well. I play with my hand over the bridge and find I constantly hit the volume knob and the pickup switch on Strats. Personally I think it is a crap design, and I am not going to go through all the effort of changing my technique when it works perfectly on a Les Paul or a Tele or any guitar when the controls aren't in the way

>>71088121
The honest truth is the same guitar can sound totally different to different people, even if its literally the same sound. "tone" is so subjective, and so psychological, I wouldn't even bother to try and quantify it. Just be the best player you can and your natural sound will always be paramount.

What's the best way to tune a guitar with a floating bridge? I recently found it again and it's an absolute bitch to try and tune properly.

>>71088218
I think that's entirely fair. Mine is crap when I play it sitting down.

However I almost always play standing, and to be honest I think that's what they are designed for. Sits very comfortably, has a great neck, and I prefer heavier guitars. Not too fussed about the headstock thing, just don't drop the damn thing and you have nothing to worry about. Definitely flawed, but for some reason I just keep going back to mine.

Fair play if it isn't your thing.

Jam something like a piece of wooden dowel under the bridge to keep it completely level with the body, take off the strings and locking nut, adjust the fine tuners to about the halfway point, put your new strings on and tune to pitch, let them settle a bit (do some bends all over and play around and retune several times), once the tuning has settled lock the locking nut then remove the wooden dowel from under the bridge and use the fine tuners to dial in the correct tuning.

I think.

I don't really see the need to put out more than 1 or 2 videos for each record anymore, it's basically a waste of money because, everyone knows we have a record out. And if we're going to sell some more records based on the next video, then those aren't people who want to listen to our album anyhow, they bought it because of that video or that song. And I just want to sell albums to people who really like us and already know about us and already like us.

Does anyone here own expensive gear?

>>71089517
Learn songs

Learn notes on the fretboard

Learn scale/arpeggio patterns and chord shapes(including inversions)

Learn basic music theory; timing, keys and scales, building chords, intervals, harmony

Learn what notes are in a key, don't rely on patterns that much, patterns are great for playing fast but they dont help you with note choice.

Learn to use your ear to select what note you'll play next

Learn to improvise over or build onto existing songs

Find generic backing tracks and improvise over them, not just solos, create chord progressions and riffs.

Practice to a metronome, but also practice to tracks with human drummers.


You can find resources for all this with a google search. Dont expect to learn all of this at once. Focus on learning a song, practicing finger excercises, and a little bit of theory each day and you'll see progress.

no just the single notes in a scale

like, in E

D# - E - F#
D - E -F

Basically its phrygian and minor harmonic huh

>>71089772
They could both be any number of things.
The issue with them clashing is together they create a 5 note chromatic run, which is not seen in any of the standard diatonic scales/modes.

If youre saying the middle note is the I then the first example would most likely be Ionian or Lydian but you won't know until the 4th is defined. The 2nd will most likely be Phyrgian or Locrian but the 5th hasnt been defined.

>>71089837
>>71089772
And yes, first one can be harmonic minor, but youll need to know if its a major or minor 3rd

It isn't very comfortable. The edges of the cuts on the side stick out when playing and dig into your sides/ribs, if you put flats on it won't be good for anything else other than that punchy Beatles Tone. The strap button on the back of the heel of the neck is retarded and the strap kept falling off

>>71089837
>>71089849
I'm supposing the rest of the notes are the same, min3 4 5 min6

Just the 2 and 7 change like that

I like the dissonant sounds of the 7-1-2 of both scales but cant use both in the same solo

Are you playing over a backing track? The chord progression would have a lot to do with it.

The D# E F# would sound good over a B major chord in E harmonic minor, but the D E F would sound bad, B D F creates a tritone along with other issues. Just an example

Im sure you could make something sound decent, but the backing will have to have an obvious key change.

Either get what the other guy said or maybe get a shortcale bass as they'll be more comfy.

fender released a new mustang bass with a Jazz bass bridge pup and a p bass pup in the middle for about £550

So you can get the sound of a p bass with the choice of a jazz pickup thrown in there on a smaller fretboard.

Any recs for non instrusive classical guitar pickups? Is there even such a thing? I'd rather not have to drill holes.

When I press down with my pinky, it sometimes kind of "collapses" and straightens out. Sometimes this happens out of necessitry of having to reach. I assume that is really bad technique to happen?

The Bongo is a really solid choice, it has a lot of tonal options but you'll probably end up finding a favorite setting and sticking with it for most things you play. Neck thickness is a nice middle ground between the average J and P neck.
I haven't really had a chance to try a Dimension, I'd probably prefer their passive basses but it seems pretty solid for what I've seen.

>>71093402
Yep, I've owned it for several years now, I love the tone and feel. If the looks are a problem; it might eventually grow on you, it looks way better in person than on pictures.

>>71093347
Joke's on you, it's a fantastic bass.

That's the Gus signature I mentioned earlier. I don't want his guitar I want the anime model.

On the other hand if they sell his cheaply I'll "mod" it with star stickers.

That Jackson Warrior looks interesting desu.

to all the faggots crying about cheap guitars f*** off! cheap guitars rule, you can play like your inner rock god without having to worry about breaking it. its all about the skill not the "crafstmanship"

That explains why you're worried about breaking your guitar like a child breaks a toy

any gibson experts ? need buying advice.
im between these two.
left is a 1994 Gibson Les Paul Studio, ebony freetwood and 490t y 498r pickups, right is a 2010 one. dont have more info.

the black 94 one is 130usd more expensive. no need to tell prices cause im not from the states and local prices here are different than in the states, a bit higher. local market is a lot more limited.

i like the looks of the right one a bit more.. more natural ..but i know that 94 is a good year in gibson. is the money gap reasonable? wich one would you pick assuming both have no issues? both look legit right? what would you do in my place?

any notes, tips whatever are cool! thanks!

Hmmm. I'd need to find a way to get rid of those disgusting inlays and cover some of them with gold stars. Otherwise the shape is identical.

I didn't mean to say it's bad, it just has that savage flavor to it

kek, fair enough

I hated my super distortion and had to replace it with a JB as soon as possible in my SG. It's got so much midrange, it kills me, and it's not tight at all, super wide open, in my experience. Yours or others mileage may vary.

>>71094349

>too much mids
>JB
>Mids are fine

Fuck really? I hate how much mids the JB has

What guitar is best? Thinking about learning

>>71094740
Yeah but the JB sounds much tighter, especially in the low end. I play through a 5150 as well so I've already got a surplus is pretty wide open mids in my rig. The super distortion was just too much.

>>71094382
But can he >play?

>>71094845
He probably plays the pedal board

>>71094854
>what do you play
>oscillating feedback noises

>>71094832
You should try the custom 5. I've found it to be very tight on the low end but with kind of a natural scooped sound which allows me to have more mids from my Orange. Just a thought.

>buy cheap guitar
>buy pickups that cost more than guitar

>>71094939

ey up lad

>>71094830
Close your eyes.
Pick up a gibson and pick up a fender.
Get what feels right.

Hint:its the gibson

>>71095028
Well pickups shouldn't be that expensive. It's just enamelled copper wire wrapped around magnets.

>>71095092
heyup was the first thing i said when i walked in the store you know it lad

>>71095113
>why are guitars expensive? it's just a plank of wood and some metal!

>>71092963
Custom 24 or 22. You'll have to count the frets to know.

>>71093068
My PRS SE was p. good for the price anon. Good built quality, good electronics, good pick ups.

>>71095113
It's not just manufacturing costs that companies have to cover but development costs as well. Plus to build something to a high quality costs more than you think.
