asked a few threads ago, didn't get an answer

Jaguar or Jazzmaster?

I'm looking in the $700-900 range. Should I go with an older (1990s) MIJ model or a more current version? Also no humbucker pickups so that "classic series" or whatever one is out

>>71129351
get the jazz, less shit to go wrong with wiring.

>>71129351
nobody cares what you want or gives a fuck what you do

>>71129351
Personally I prefer Jazzmasters, and I'd go for something current. Try both and decide for yourself

Hey guys

What's a good guitar?

Serious question: What's a good guitar around 500 € with HSS pickups, 22 frets and double cutaway body shape that will sound good clean and crunched? I would like a locking nut and a fixed bridge, if possible.

>>71130939
>locking nut and fixed bridge
Good luck my spoonfed friend

>>71130927
Salutations

>>71130939
I looked through all guitars on thomann (and thomann has a shitton of guitars) and could't find anything that fits all those criteria. Especially not the locking nut.

>>71130939
>locking nut and a fixed bridge
Why? That's going to be impossible to find, and kind of pointless honestly. Even omitting the locking nut it would still be hard to find. You could try looking at used Charvels. I think most of them are 22-frets, but I haven't seen many HSS ones.

>>71131083
>>71130958
>>71131095
Honestly the locking nut isn't really necessary, I just want the guitar to stay in tune and that seems to help. Right now I have a guitar with a floating trem but I blocked it so it's essentially a fixed bridge.

HSS just because I want a strat-y type sound from the neck (and middle) pickups, but I might just get something with HH and rewire it to switch the coils between series and parallel.

Essentially: What's a versatile guitar for around 500 €? (used is an option)
I like playing high notes, hence the 22+ frets (so no memecasters).

>>71131147
Any guitar is versatile. Split coils dont sound like single coils, if you want that sound then get that set up. Your blocked trem still has fine tuners which any fixed bridge wont have, so youll be unlocking the nut all the time. If you want to stay in tune then get better tuners, higher gear ratio and better tolerances.

Had some fun committing bass gore tonight. My bro's dog decided my practice Talman was a chew toy and chewed the shit outta my fretboard. While I'm waiting for a new fretboard to come in I decided to Jaco it. Surprisingly it turned out real nice. It looks like garbage but it plays 10x better.

Autism speaks. What kind of idiot leaves his instrument some place where it can get damaged? And I've been fixing guitars for years, you're not a special snowflake because you think you can replace a fretboard.

>Just go to a music store and try out different guitars that appeal to you
I will, but I want to narrow it down a little first.
Trying guitars at the store won't really give me a good impression though, since my liking or disliking a certain guitar might just be down to the different amp / effects.

you can get Zoom pedals sub $25 senpai and it will have you covered for most basic sounds
>>71131451
Play it without an amp. Comfiness should be your main target for that sort of price range as most instruments in that price range will vary greatly in quality. Don't worry too bad about tone, your strings, electronics, pickups, and pedals will be the main decider of that which you can change later. The instrument itself doesn't matter too badly unless you're wanting to do feedback stuff.
>>71131438
High pass filter, couple of Distortion pedals, a tremolo pedal, very low string action (don't worry about fret buzz it won't matter and will add to the authenticity), and some practice with Tremolo Picking will take you places.

>>71131874
You could do that or you could buy stereo stompboxes

>>71131874
Or mixers/splitters

>>71131881
Basically, a high pass filter will cut out your low and give your sound that "screech" black metal has. Watch that video @ 1:20 to understand why a tremolo is useful for black metal, you combine that and tremolo picking to achieve a rapid and aggressive sound. To give you an idea of an effect chain for black metal it should go something like:
distortion->tremolo->distortion->high pass filter

>>71131874
Most effects are mono you silly monkey you.

>>71132006
What about
>muh phaser
>muh chorus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JndvN1ngSi4

>>71132021
1. I've never heard of a stereo wah
2. The rest of those are mostly used as mono effects in pedals

>>71132021
>wah
>reverb
>stereo

>>71131992
>Tremolo pedal

Also, high pass filters as guitar pedals aren't common at all. An EQ would be far more reasonable.

>>71132021
>chorus
Run one signal dry and then on another channel another signal apply some vibrato.

>>71132035
this is how I low pass filter

guys I want to have the worst tone possible
how do I do it?

>>71131874
Stereo guitar is a waste of time. If you pan it wide then most of the audience will hear one side of the stereo much louder than the other side. If you're using tempo-sync delay then half the rhythmic effect is lost, if you're using stereo chorus then it starts to sound out of tune.

>>71132083

>>71132083
Bass up to 10, mids and treble to 0, and irresponsible amounts of distortion

>>71132058
A high pass is literally just an opamp, a resistor and a capacitor.

>>71132058
Don't bash tremolo pedals in your mix until you're tried it. As for a high pass filter, they're fairly common for basses. Shelving EQs work equally as well.
>>71132083
2.0mm pick and multiple distortion pedals split between a bypassed sound

>>71132124
and an LPF is an opamp, a capacitor and a resistor

>>71132135
in fact, you don't even need the opamp

technically a guitar's tone control is an LPF

>>71132135
Yup. My point was that making a high pass pedal is absolute babby tier and can be done in under 30 minutes including drilling the enclosure.

>>71132083
max gain
zero bass
zero mids
max treble
add maxed out distortion pedals to taste

why did metal guitarists ever think scooping the mids was a good idea in a guitar heavy genre?

>>71132156
Vocals and drums

>>71132148
That's also true but a passive filter will a) act as a non-infinite load on what comes before and therefore have different effects depending on what's around it in the signal chain, b) not give you the option of amplifying the signal and c) have a negative effect on your SNR.

>>71132156
because it can sound heavy as fuck in some situations

>>71131874
I run a stereo rig and it's not really as big a deal as it looks on paper. I run a mono chain up until the end where the signal splits and I run a two slightly different reverbs to create the "size" of the sound.

Parallel chains are awesome but impractical generally.

>>71131881
>>71131992
>>71132058
You really don't need high pass filters for black metal tones. Rule of thumb is get your source as good as possible and tweak from there.

I did this really quickly with a 5150 eq'd fairly bright.
https://clyp.it/d5apjdjp

>>71132156
It sounds thick and chunky when practicing. A lot of guitarists don't fully understand how your tone changes with volume and in a full band mix.

You can actually get away with scoops in single guitar bands. Two guitars though? You're going to be fighting an uphill battle. Really though in a full mix you want to capitalise on the midrange.

>>71132083
Max bass in a band setting, everything will sound like shit and it'll piss your bassist off. I know because I've been that bassist.

>>71132244

I'm not actually sure what they treat Violin strings with to keep them from corroding.
I've replaced a lot of violin's strings with the "cheaper"(still $20 or so a set) Prelude strings by D'Addario. Kids will use these for a whole school year or longer during rental season.

Some other factors are the lack of frets on an orchestra instrument. The nickel- silver frets are intentionally a little softer as to avoid damaging strings too badly, it's why I don't recommend stainless steel fret wire.

On my classical guitars I have to replace them about every two months. The treble nylons are generally okay, but the Basses are generally corroded and dented due to intense and prolonged play.

bowed instrument strings behave pretty much like flatwound guitar/bass strings, there's no space in between the winding so junk can't add up in there

How's that Keeley? I've been thinking about getting one. ISO compressor that gives you that sweet clicking pick attack
