Pacifica is quite a good guitar for what it is, these assholes were selling tragic shit like https://www.thomann.de/ie/cort_g110_bk.htm

>>71206101
Do you like The Beach Boys?

>>71206129
the best combination is SS

have you taken the zap-pill yet?

>>71206151

they are endearing in a monkees kind of way

the strings that came with this mim strat are the best strings i've ever used

they're so smooth

i've just been using ernie ball shit this entire time??

>>71206129
switch the bottom 2
HH is best

So I'm a noob, today I was jamming with my bass to some motorhead and sheeit and when the pick started slipping in my fingers I was hitting the strings with the edge of the pick and my fingernails and it was adding some cool percussive harmonic polyrhythms over the fairly simple bass lines. My questions to knowers is: have I invented something new?

>>71206329
nope

>>71206213
elixir or bust

>>71206329
i think so

>>71206329
yeah.. don't tell us about it,. make an album with your new progressive playing technique...

>>71206129
HSH with coil taps and piezo

>>71206351

I've never heard this in bass playing before though

>>71206383

I'm assuming from the "noob," "sheeit," and the Motorhead that you're a complete pleb.

Parting from that I'm sure you're wearing a Sabbath shirt, Butler did it.

So did Entwistle, Geddy and Chris Squire.

So yeah you should actually listen to your pleb ass music sometime.

Because I don't jerk off to Eric Clapton while daydreaming about being in a 70's british blues rock band while having my chest hair sticking through a half buttoned disco shirt.

>>71206708
Either use that ruler thingymajig or just look square up the neck from the bottom of the body.

>>71206753

classic song

I guess never change your strings

>>71206708
Gonna have to eyeball it really

You're gonna have line up the neck with your eye and look along the edge of the neck to see a slight curve in either direction.
Always loosen ur truss rod alittle first and wait a bit and then eyeball it again and then go from there

>>71206730

I hate people that unironically use shit guitars for some kind of indie cred.

jack white and st vincent are other offenders.

Where in the chain do you guys put your noise suprressor? I have mine currently as the first pedal after the guitar. I previously had it last but it seemed to ruin my TS9 boost.

>>71207911
A few months. Most of the guys I played with were insufferable when it came to actually doing anything, and it was a guitar and a bass doing whatever by themselves while i sat and wondered if we were going do anything productive. Every time i tried to do the band thing. A few years later I jammed with 2 dudes for a while, one played a beat on a shit toy drum set while we'd improv a riff while the other improv'd a solo. Was ok.

>>71208504
There's too much low end in the classical making it clash with the bass

Guitar EQ
>HPF around 100-150 Hz
>slight cut in the low-mids (around 300-500 Hz)
>maybe slight boost to high/high-mids (around 2K range)

Bass EQ
>less aggressive HPF around 60 Hz (tames muddling sub frequencies)

I'd also add a little bit more reverb to the classical. It sounds too far forward in the mix compared to everything else

Good composition

Gear discussion/expertise is a crutch for people who lack technical ability to feel like they still have some prowess in some area.

Most people who are really good guitar players never talk about gear.

Be careful. This is how people end up becoming guitar techs for better players.

Face your fears. It's time to stop with the gear shit and talk about technique and theory.

>>71206960

van halen, too. they mostly do that so the singer's voice fits in better. it's not a bad idea to do, considering you'd probably use the low D# way more than you'd ever use the E at the 24th fret if in standard. and if you did need the note you could just bend up there

About 1.5 - 2 years, I think. Started an electric blues band with a friend from high school, his friend who was a drummer, and this kid I met at a local show who played bass. A few months after that, the bass player and I started a death metal band with some friends that quickly grew into a more successful project.

I would give anything to be able to jam again with the drummer from the first band, though. He could play with so much soul and definitely had better overall technique.

4 screws put the neck onto the body, and the wiring diagrams you can get everywhere, you need soldering experience though
everything else is just Phillips head screws here and there its easy, the initial set up is probably the hardest

>>71213550
Depending on what style you play, Ibanez SR series or Fender P-bass. Ibby is more middish, Fender is more poppy-ish. If that makes sense. but there are lots of basses to be had in that price limit.

Okay...don't overbuy. Rely on the PA guy to properly mic you. I found that guys like to buy amps as if they were the only one who would ever make themselves heard. You sound better in a public address if you don't try to overrun the public address. Any sort of 115 or 215 combo amp will do what you need.

As many takes as it requires. Multiple passes overlayed on one segment, or a single take on a segment on others. Think of a recording studio as a sound stage. Most actors do multiple takes on a single dialog, because different segments of that dialog are better than others. Right?

With all the Epi hate, looks like I'm president of the goddamn fan club around here. All bullshit aside, I actually prefer the Epi head stock to a Gibsons because the Gibsons are angled a few degrees more, but you know what, let's not get too far into that.

Anyway, you Les Paul fags who can't afford a decent Gibson, listen up. You'd have to be stupid to pass up the package that is the Tribute Plus. It looks like it's the best option for us.

>Real Gibson '57 Pickups
>Grover Locking Tuners
>Mallory 150 Tone Capacitors
>Epiphone Hard-shell Case included

By the time you factor in a case into the budget for an Epi LP Standard, you're looking at close to what the Tribute Plus costs with barely enough change left over for 3 locking machine heads.

The only reason you might opt for anything else is the Goldtop which is available in the Standard Range (or plus top pro or whatever it's called nowadays) or the Custom Pro, both of which are very nice finishes if you're into that sort of thing.

Hey man aesthetics don't mean a lot. It's all subjective anyway. I don't mind Epis at all personally, they look classy to me, whereas the Gibsons look like a stock standard no-bullshit american standard design.

But Im talking function. Gibson's are angled slightly more than Epis and it's well known that both suffer from snapping when they are violently dropped or whatever, but I reckon Gibsons a little more so than the Epis because of that angle, the headstock hits the ground first and take the brunt of the force, whereas the Epi, a little more of the body is in contact with the ground before then. Or something like that. I dunno.

>>71214630
Epiphone headstocks are bigger and weigh more, so it's even more likely to take a neckdive than a Gibson.

They become a manufacturer in their own right so you won't just be buying a knock off Gibson.

kek. Nope there are not. You need to do your research before you comment next time.
We're not talking about the standard Epiphone LPS models here. The Epiphone LQ series guitars are the highest quality Les Paul copies ever made in Japan, and one of the best kept secrets of all the Japanese made LP copies. They're basically Fujigen built versions of Gibson Historic reissue guitars. 50s style neck profiles, long neck tenons, open book Gibson headstocks, etc. and they have the "Les Paul model" decal on the headstock. They even have period correct lacquer finishes instead of poly. Show me a Burny Tokai Edwards or Navigator that has a historically correct lacquer finish.

I get what you're saying but Im talking about electronics quality and how long the switches are going to stay attached to the goddamn guitar, or how long before the nut just decides it's had enough and pisses off, or how long the machine heads are going to decide to hang on, or how long before the finish tarnishes. Chinese made stuff has a reputation of not scoring high marks on those all the time.

You really do get what you pay for, but that definitely stops at a certain point. You know, we all know a $5k guitar isn't 5 times better than a $1k guitar, but a $500 one probably won't be as good as a more expensive mid-range.

>>71216022
learn basic guitar repair and maintenance
you can easily glue on a new nut, broken electronics are a breeze to fix with a soldering iron, pots and switches are literally $10, re-fretting is also easy etc.

I've bought cheapo guitars and upgraded them and i've owned expensive guitars and kept them original. I had more fun with the cheaper ones I could mess with honestly.
Just look at all guitars as pretty much worthless pieces of wood, and you'll have the right mindset.

Alright /gg/, I'm giving up guitar after playing for 10 years.

I have sank so much money into gear that it's overtaken more important financial focuses, and as a result my life is going nowhere. It's a literal addiction for me that's costing my livelyhood. I'm selling all of my gear tommorow and beginning to move on with my life, maybe I'll return someday when my life isn't so completely fucked. I had a pleasure posting with you.

>>71216496

>>71216496
You can still post and play guitar without buying new gear.
Selling all your stuff means you bought it all for nothing, and you'll probably make losses as well, then buy new gear when the itch kicks in and get into even more trouble.

I know I could just follow the chords and apply scales and such hitting the core notes and stuff, but how do you go about it?
