Anybody here play nickel nanos for bass? I'm looking for a bright string without too much clank and zing, but a pleasant grind and growl when digging in. These seem to be brighter than the typical nickel but a touch less that steel. I think I'm already settled on some coated string or another, I like how they sound against the frets. I'm putting them on a 32" bass.

Les Paul, if you bought it new.

>>72716366

in my experience even 5w tube amps will be too loud for most apartments with a 12' speaker, and most of the fault here is actually the speaker.

i've been using an orange #4 for a good while and had 3 different Eminence speakers, v120, wizard and man o' war. all 3 of them are loud as fuck, they make bedroom play almost impossible and that's on 7w.

i saved the head for playing around with friends and shit, and just went to amp modelling software.

Get better at this

>>72716607
I currently have a Laney L5T and it is indeed loud but once I get out this apartment, it will be perfect. Currently the volume is manageable but I can't push the amp at all.

I know that software is handy for home use but I usually want to get away from computers after work and occasionally play with my friend. I'm not a band guy but I still want a nice (small) amp.

Someone please answer me this, how high or low so you play your guitar? It's been bothering me for awhile now since I'm learning how to play. I usually play it just below the crotch. But I see other guitarists like Albert Hammond Jr play with the guitar nearly on his chest. But then you get someone like Tom DeLonge who plays with the guitar hitting his knees. Is there like a height to guitar ratio? Or is it just preference? Anons I need to know.
> Pic is Tom DeLonge who had back surgery because of playing his guitar at an odd angle

>>72716862
I'd say go as high as it's confortable for you, it's easier to play that way. Generally the less effort it takes you to play the guitar the better you will be able to convey your musicality, so you shouldn't really give a shit if you don't look "stylish" or whatever, at least that is my opinion, feel free to disagree.

>>72716862
It's kind of a preference but not quite. Having the guitar too high or too low will strain your arms and make it hard to play. In my opinion the ideal way of playing is the classical style. So sit down, put your guitar between your legs, raise your left leg a little and adjust the strap. That way the guitar is not too high or low and your playing position will the same whether you're sitting or standing.

>>72716998

I have a 120 watt 212 combo. One of the speakers in it is an old 25 watt Rola. I want to replace it before it gets destroyed. Any suggestions for a replacement speaker?

The amp is a mid seventies Peavey Deuce.

>>72717147
Middle.

>>72717395
Put in two of these:
http://celestion.com/product/26/heritage_series_g1265/

>>72716862
Every time I see someone playing with the guitar by the crotch I can't help but think they are trying to compensate for something. I mean, Freud would surely say something about them using guitars as some sort of "phallic representation", and then you see guys like Slash or Ramone playing like that and trying to be theatrical and cocky, and you just can't but think they are definitely compensating.

What I mean is, having the guitar higher means you have more self confidence about your attributes.

I'm done talking about it.

>>72719247
just go watch a youtube video on it

easiest way is to just jam something under the bridge to lock it in place then change the strings

if you're increasing the string gauge you're going to have to tighten the strings

>>72719247
Also a little trick I use, shove a battery under the bridge to keep it from droppong down all the way, restring, check the lift of the bridge from the battery and adjust the tension from there.

AAA usually works, AA for some of the deeper floyd recesses, if you have a brass cartridge from a .308, seems to fit most floyds I've put it under. Gives you a good rough estimate when you change guages. Just dont leave it there for too long.

I guess then besides those you already listed, an #4 terror could do it too. I like mine a lot, although it doesn't have the clean channel you want. mesa boogie also has that transatlantic cab which i think is pretty hi gain too, and laney has that ironheart 15w head, who has a fuckload of gain and also has a 0.75w input. I had the ironheart for a while, only sold it because it was too hi gain for my tastes at the time and i kinda regret doing it now, mostly because that attenuated input was a godsend.

either way, I think getting a head and cab is better than a combo, as you can switch speakers and experiment on them, and they do make a lot of difference.

I don't have the luxury of blasting a wall of SVTs so I got to sound big by artificial means. Hopefully, a good pedalboard can help.

Already own some boost pedals, but I still can't decide between DOD 250 reissue or EQD White Light.

Al Cisneros has a stock 250 but I'm not sure I can pull the trigger just yet because I heard the 250 sounds better driving a tube amp, which I got one but I'm thinking of gigging more with my solid state stuff.

The White Light is based on the 250 and MXR Distortion+ which pedalsandeffects.com loves as an overdrive and it comes with a bit of compression

I'll be stacking it with either EQD's Monarch, Acapulco Gold or Catalinbread SFT.

From what I read on forums, Acapulco Gold sounds good with a 250 and the Monarch stacks well with the White Light. I added the SFT cause it's a low end monster that sounds close to the Monarch.

I'm open to other recommendations... just need a little help getting the right pedals cause this shit can get expensive real quick. And since I'm getting them over the interwebz so I can't try them before buying them.

Stylistically I think there's a quote somewhere about never covering your dick with your guitar/bass and committing to either above like the jazz dudes or by your ankles like punk rockers.

Technique wise I know that playing with the guitar really high is recommended as you don't need to change your hand positions between sitting and standing.

I can't put this thing down, Jesus Christ. Only gripe I have is that bending the high e string is difficult due to no reverse headstock. On the other hand, easy bending on the low strings. And it sounds soooo goooood.

anyone have experience with this amp or can recommend something else like it?

What guitar albums have you been into lately?

I really like Beck's later stuff, the guy knows how to push boundaries and stay creative even when there's so many virtuosos out there. His experiments with electronic music are nice too.

>>72722164
the same 5 or 6 old albums of always

>>72721309
are these any good? Going to make my leap from my first beginners guitar (shitty squier) to a "real guitar".
Is this a good guitar? Looks beautiful

>>72722261

the only thing that matters on an electric guitar is the pickups. Everything else is just aesthetics and feel

>>72722305
how do you like the ovation breadwinner with plastic saddles

>>72719771
The Orange may be good but I not a huge fan of signature equipment. It also seems a little too simplistic. The Transatlantic is not a high gain amp. It's pretty similar to my Laney but with more features and a bit more higher quality construction.. Ironheart doesn't sound good to me. It's too modern. In that sense the Engl isn't much better.

Victory VX is probably a good option too. It has a 2 watt mode. The downside is that it doesn't have a clean channel either. Only British and American drive channels.

Head & cab is usually quite a bit more expensive than combo. 2525*s cab comes with those special Marshall Vintage speakers, so it may be worth it. They are made by Celestion and many think they are the same as Vintage 30 only with a different sticker but in reality they are made in England, while V30 is made in China and they are voiced differently. Unless the amp I choose is particularly picky about speakers, I'll probably go with Celestion Heritage G12H with lead cone. An English Century wouldn't be bad either.

I'm really conflicted about it actually. The white ones are really tasteful, but I only ever found SSS configurations. I'm primarily looking for the HSS strats. Plus I'm edgy and have a hard-on for black and red.

>>72721380
Its a Japanese Aerodyne Strat. America had a really short run of them before it went back to same boring shit they've been putting out for 50 years. Japan still makes them as far as I know and are known to be just as good if not better than some of the MIA Strats.

>DOD 250
>EQD White Light
>EQD Monarch
>EQD Speaker Cranker

not shilling Earthquaker but I might go with the EQD White Light pedal for now. Afraid the 250 and Acapulco are perfect for tube amps and with the White Light I might get away using in it on some solid state amps and can stack with my Gunslinger better than the rest.

It works as well as my Polytune pedal, obviously it's not as accurate as a peterson strobe or something like that but for just tuning up at a show or at a practice it's fine. For intonation I would use a proper tuner, but you could get close enough with one of these if you didn't have one.

>>72724609
This. It has good fretwork (not perfect but I can get a low action without buzzing), overall construction and build quality are fine and even the electronics and pickups are good.
