(warning pic relatd is big)
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!
btw i posted this on the old thread just before it died and got zero replies, everyone wsa more concered about memetars and shitn among yourpals, comeeeeeeeeeeeonnnnnnnnnnnnnn

>>71095285
tl;dr

>>71095285
You must play before you buy if you can.?
Spend out big and when it arrives, you play it you hate the sound.

how the hell do you play guitar solos as loosely and freely as Frank Zappa? do you need to be a bodhisattva or something?

why do electric guitars with no effects on them sound really shit

>>71095285
Never buy used stuff without playing it first. I'd spring for the extra ~100 bucks for the 94 if it plays well though.

>>71095357
because you can't play

>>71095357

Because the sales of fx would plummet if they sounded even remotely good.

so i just got my new schecter (this one to be precise but in red: schecterguitars.com/international/vault/listing/damien-elite-6-fr-2013-12-10-detail) but soon after i got it i remembered my current amp is pretty fucked. not sure if this is the right place but has anyone got any recommendations for a budget of up to £250 (~$310)?

>>71095345
you need to be a grade A asshole

>>71095519
I recommend you save up at least twice that amount

>>71095334
>>71095371
im gonna play em both, but maybe someone can drop extra info or something. thanks

>>71095422
then why does 1 note played by itself sound terrible then

>>71095545
because you can't play

>>71095555
It's been decided

>>71095533
are decent amps really that fuckin expensive? (its been a long tie since i last had to buy one)
are there any decent ones at all for around the ~$310 price?

Want to buy new guitar. Have $3,500 budget

What should I get?

>>71095640
You can get a modelling amp like a Blackstar ID or a Boss Katana but there's no decent valve amps at that price.

He was using Ernie Balls but those broke just by looking at them wrong, I made him switch to D'Addario since I've used them on my JM for 5 years and never had a string break but then he broke the D the other day, fug.

It's gonna be a pain, but I'll see what he says.

An ibanez 5 string with wider string spacing than my current. Otherwise im more than satisfied with what i have now.

Id like a nice mia 4 string p bass but i honestly wouldnt use it that much, i dont do much rock stuff and i prefer soapbars for everything else. My current main bass does everything i need.

>>71097586
You're a lot more likely to break the strings before you get them to tension than you are to break the neck

You will warp the shit out of it though.

>>71097748
What guitar? You might need to raise the action a bit.

>>71097748

>>71095756
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccztRby3FAk

>>71097266
You're getting there, but I would suggest more variation with your voicings. Instead of just holding a chord down and moving one finger at a time to play the melody, try to completely change the voicings as often as possible, using inversions, passing chords, substitutions, and so on.

And that's just general chord-melody advice. Joe Pass in particular had a very strong sense of swing and probably most famously incorporated walking bass lines into lot of his stuff. Work on playing walking lines on the low E and A while grabbing shell voicings on the upper strings, a very common approach for Pass-style chord melody.

faggot, play power chords and hammer them as hard as you can, that's all the music theory any man needs right there

will a mim strat come out the box with a good setup? or is it a total hit and miss kinda thing because that's what i see
surely there's a lot of quality control so im not assuming it will come out like shit, but would i need to adjust truss rod, action etc. on a brand new mim strat?

>>71097908
Might be easier to simply work on the bass lines if you're not too familiar with the idea, and then later add in the upper chord tones. The basics aren't super complicated, but getting a feel for it can take time. There are some decent bass books that teach the fundamentals that are easily applied to guitar, I used The Art of Walking Bass a lot, and there are some other good ones.

>>71098057

at what age did you grow out of gibson's /gg/?

>>71098598
I was never into Gibsons
I've always liked Ibanez

why is the tone knob a low pass filter?

even with it maxed everything sounds muddy as fuck and shitty if you are are playing anything lower it completely drowns out everything else

why is it not a high pass filter instead

or are my pickups just shit

>>71098303
Thicker strings are louder, brighter, buzz less and have better sustain, all due to the higher tension. Whether you like that or not is a matter of preference, but most people prefer those things.

And as for the "carpal tunnel" aspect, if your guitar is set up properly and you have good technique, bending is really the only thing that takes more effort with thicker strings.

how can i make a guitar lighter?
i was thinking about taking a dremel to the inside of the electronics cavity to remove some extra wood

anyone got any recommendations for a decent "practice" amp? My room aint too big and alot of the space is taken up so i dont want to have anything big and heavy seeing as I'll also want to be able to carry it to a mates house without much problem. budget is like $375 but less would be better as i want to get afew pedals aswell. any recommendations?

>>71101140
That is possible. You could try filling a sealed chamber with helium

Is the ISP Decimator the best noise gate? Also I need to have one I already have a cheap digital noise gate in my effects loop and I plan to have one in front and one in the loop. Would using the ISP be better in front of the amp or in the effects loop?

>>71101413
Thats not a tele

>>71101443
Got eeem

>>71101452
Ive heard good things about the decimator. Chris hannah used one live with his dsl before he got an axe fx and he sounded great. The g string is the same but it has ins/outs for front of amp and fx loops. Basically having 2 of the regular ones

>>71101522
Yeah I know about the G string, I just don't think I wanna spend an extra 100 for it. I really just wanted to know if the decimator (which I believe is analog) is better than another digital noise gate like the Boss NS-2

>>71102216
Nah m8. DESU the music scene is slightly cooler in Cincy desu

Does anyone have any experience with Starfield guitars? I bought an Altair one a few years ago, but I don't know much about it. If I understand the serial code system correctly then the base of the guitar is made in Japan and then fully assembled in the US. I'd love any other information or just general thoughts about it.

>>71102447
I use my upright bass hooked up to 3 large cabinets meant for amplifying subcontrabass clarinets and foghorns

Or any electric that isn't plugged into an amp, whatever strokes your willy

>>71102447

I usually just stomp around when I practice. That way my neighbours just scream about stoping the stomping, never about the guitar.

>>71102447

The guitar is an ancient and noble instrument, whose history can be traced back over 4000 years. Many theories have been advanced about the instrument's ancestry. It has often been claimed that the guitar is a development of the lute, or even of the ancient Greek kithara. Research done by Dr. Michael Kasha in the 1960's showed these claims to be without merit. He showed that the lute is a result of a separate line of development, sharing common ancestors with the guitar, but having had no influence on its evolution. The influence in the opposite direction is undeniable, however - the guitar's immediate forefathers were a major influence on the development of the fretted lute from the fretless oud which the Moors brought with them to to Spain.

>>71102541
>>71102872
The sole "evidence" for the kithara theory is the similarity between the greek word "kithara" and the Spanish word "quitarra". It is hard to imagine how the guitar could have evolved from the kithara, which was a completely different type of instrument - namely a square-framed lap harp, or "lyre". (Right)

It would also be passing strange if a square-framed seven-string lap harp had given its name to the early Spanish 4-string "quitarra". Dr. Kasha turns the question around and asks where the Greeks got the name "kithara", and points out that the earliest Greek kitharas had only 4 strings when they were introduced from abroad. He surmises that the Greeks hellenified the old Persian name for a 4-stringed instrument, "chartar".
