Asking the fellow bassfags, there is a Warwick Corvette Standard here locally, still made in Germany (2008) for "only" 500€. Seems like the made in Germany Warwicks tend to go for 800-900 usually, should I?

>>72030015
I'm not sure what you're asking. It's kind of hard for us to know if you need a new bass.

Not sure if serious. Rosewood is objectively the best, most aesthetic wood for a fretboard.

>>72031829

rosewood only good if you have matching headstock

It comes with velcro and ties, I've not fastened everything down yet though. There's another MIDI device to go on the board and that's arriving next week. Four leads per pedal because it's stereo, I'll be using it on my synths as well as the guitar amp.

I resisted having my main Strat dressed for years. Eventtually it got unplayable, the frets were just non-existent, not even enough to dress. Had the local luthier guy put stainless steel in, absolutely loved the way it felt, took another 5 or 6 to him for the same treatment.

Is there any reason to move to 10s?

I've been playing for 12+ years and i'm embarrassed to say I know really absolutely nothing about gear/hardware or even guitar quality/pricing.

Anyways, I'm mainly a classical player, I do alot of finger picking and I'm wondering what are some price ranges and brands of higher quality nylon or steel string acoustic guitars. Is 1200 going to get me a quality acoustic for finger picking?

>>72037311
Pretty cool what are you using?

If you want to get more dynamics, it can be worth it. If you're always compressing with a lot of gain, it's more of a matter of feel.

>>72037540
>does the same apply to epiphone lespaul standartds and why

Pretty much, if you change the pickups and give it a proper setup it'll sound 90% as good as a real Gibson. But, there are also a ton of cheaper options for real Gibson Les Pauls so it might not be worth the trouble of upgrading. Gibson doesn't make any budget hollowbodies.

The issue with picking epiphone instead of Gibson is that Gibson owns epiphone. Epiphone guitars are made to not compete too strongly against Gibson.

You are far better off going with one of the many, many, competing companies that are actually trying to make a guitar that can stand up to Gibson. There's lots of relatively cheap guitars that keep up and often beat out Gibson. You might not want to do your research here though, because implying anything cheap can be good is sacrilegious here.

>>72037712
I don't think I've ever seen any company besides Epiphone do a ES295 model though

>>72037915
>not having both hands on the fret board and only playing hammer downs
Ten fingers, ten times as many notes, and ten times the speed

>>72037836
Well, there's plenty of single cutaway p90 hollow bodies, what features do you like about the ES? If what you really like is that specific, even an epiphone seems like a compromise.

Places aren't going to list their guitars by Gibson models, but there's lots of guitars that look like that.

>>72037982
>Not slicing the frenulum of your cock with the low e string so blood seeps into the guitar so your mind can resonate with the music telepathically
kek

>>72037712
It depends on the factory, I don't think Gibson sets out to purposely make their guitars an inferior product. The hollowbodies that came from the Peerless factory are great, honestly even better quality control than gibson, the only weak point is the electronics.

Peerless became their own company (now Fibonacci) selling the same guitars they made for Epiphone at a higher price.

You really want to learn to start transcribing by ear there's a couple of methods out there for learning you need to listen to the song until it gets stuck in your head and then you need to pick out the root notes so you can figure out the chords and the melody once you do that play a long to a metronome there's a bpm clicker out there somewhere on the internet you can use while you play whatever song you hit the space bar to the beat and it tells you the bpm when you do that you'll be able to learn the beat and how to play the song start off with easy songs I'm trying to learn smells like teen angst because it's easy tabs are shit if you really want to get gud get rocksmith and learn how to transcribe by ear Justin from JustinGuitar has a couple of lessons on that shit too definitely don't neglect training your ear if you want to get gud you do want to get gud right?

>>72040027

I like how it looks, and how the bridge pickup sounds, but it's got quite a few problems. Flat, small frets, dual truss rod, underpowered neck pickup, bridge that breaks strings, flimsy muting system, no hum cancelling middle position, and output drops when bending.

It could be improved a lot but Rickenbacker is dead set on the traditionalist market and they won't let anyone else get away with similar guitars.

Anyways, I actually really love Rickenbackers, which is the only reason I ever found out about the issues they have. But I wouldn't get one.

>ive only been playing for 2 months

Yeah you're fucked. Jazz band is for fags anyways, so don't worry. All the jazz band kids I knew in high school are in shitty cover bands while I'm actually playing with internationally known jazz musicians (playing jazz-ish music). The modern jazz scene is weird, most of the people I know either come from schools that encouraged contemporary improvisation (Oberlin and New England Conservatory for example) or they never went to school for music at all.

The band kids might make fun of your inexperience but don't let that get you down. They will most likely end up working in Guitar Center for commission.

>>72040597
A dual truss rod requires clamping the neck to adjust. This means that frequent adjustments for those who want very low action, or just those who know where they want the neck relief to be at, are not practical. It does prevent neck warp, a problem with earlier single truss rod models, but not a common problem with other sturdier basses.

I kinda hate to flame rics but hey, someone's gotta do it.

Hey /gg/, if I take a course in Classical guitar or Mexican guitar, would it be as useful as one that specializes in Acoustic/Electric?

I have been casually practicing but now want to get serious, and my college is offering some classical uitar lessons, I tried to take it before but I dropped out for various reasons.

Is it worth it beyond just teaching music theory?

>>72040707
What?

>>72040731
doth?

>>72033572

>>72040725
Literally just learn to play songs by ear and get a basic understanding of music theory along with consistent playing but classes don't hurt it's ultimately up to you

>>72040725
I guess you want to know how it'll transfer over from classical to folk guitar. Honestly, the music and fretboard will be what transfers over, but as far as technique goes, the styles are pretty different. You will gain the coordination, of course.

>>72040591
Better to try than not. Any kind of embarrassment or initial struggle is worth it compared to just doing nothing and being left with what ifs later on. If you're like me, you're going to look back at nearly everything in your past and find something to cringe about, might as well make it something productive.

I've done many gigs where I felt I was in over my head, some more successfully than others, but looking back, I don't regret any of them, and they all helped me develop (high school jazz band being one). And all that was after years of saying no to things that I wish I had taken the risk on.
