why don't you sell it and buy one? You should be able to afford one that isn't salvaged from a trash can.

because the JM is beat up too

one bent tuner
finish is cracked, busted open, neck finish too
original fretboard had to be replaced and the stupid fucking spic luthier I took it to didn't understand I wanted 7.25" radius and clay dots like the original and put in a 22 fret 12" fretboard with pearl dots

>>73103704

the pickguard is from a Squier J Mascis, I wanted the guitar to look like his backup JM that the Squier is based on so I got the gold TOM bridge and figured I would get a gold pickguard from an actual J Mascis guitar. I still have the original tortoise shell pickguard though.

Anyone wanna see pics of my recent purchase? Its a strat.

People play fenders for the accessibility, people play gibson fir the experience

What's the ultimate fuzz pedal for stoner/doom?

>>73104521
It's a partscaster. US FSR body, US Standard neck and a loaded pickguard with the Shawbucker and two Fat 50s. Had it refretted with huge stainless steel frets.

>>73104588
Listening to new genres of music and even different instruments helps challenge me as a player.

Otherwise there are two options: Take a break or play through the rut. Both work but for different people.
>>73104596
That J-bass I played was indeed very comfy. They've definitely done their low-end USA lines better than Gibson has in my [admittedly limited] experience.
>>73104661
Seems like it has good upgrades, though changing medium jumbo frets to narrow tall seems like it could be challenging for some curmudgeons. Fender is innovating though and I dig it. I just wish they'd also add the Elite truss rod adjustment to the Professional series. That thing should become the universal standard anyway.
>>73104826
Whatever your favorite stoner/doom artist uses.

There are so many fuzz pedals out there. Take your pick. Fuzzrocious is a good starting point. Smallsound/Bigsound makes the Team Awesome Fuzz Machine that's fantastic.

>>73104826
Forgot to add that I personally enjoy my Wren & Cuff TFR and I also have a Malekko B:Assmaster that is just insane, but maybe not for doom/stoner stuff. Dunno; not my area of expertise.

That one's in bits being modded. Has been for months now. MIJ pickups are shitty and weak so it's getting DiMarzios and a Roland GK pickup. The System 1 trem is worse than useless and there's no routing for trem springs so I've fitted a top-mounting Kahler.

>>73106334

>>73106412
I really dislike the drum sound and how busy it is. So much fucking crash, and the same crash at that. And your guitar tone leaves a lot to be desired. Really muddy. Keep working at it though.

Contributing with a scrapped cover of Dean Town by Vulfpeck that I did back when the song first came out. Didn't learn it as accurately as I could've and tried to bootleg a take, but since the bass carries the song so much, getting it anything but perfect wouldn't cut it. Still was pretty close for first time learning/recording. Maybe I'll do a full cover some day.

Let alone wildly inaccurate, but he just enjoys trying to make me upset. You'd do best to just ignore him.

>>73106995
I can't comment, it's a style of music that does nothing for me, bass doesn't sound great though. I mean it's obvious you practised a lot to get that down but you could use some compression on the bass and there's a couple of places where it goes int onasty distortion which doesn't suit the music at all.

>>73107291
i like to go thump-thump-thump on the bass too, we should get married and have kids

>>73107350
>it's a style of music that does nothing for me
I'm so sorry.
>it's obvious you practiced a lot
Is a half hour a lot these days?

Like I said, this was me dicking around, not making an actual cover. Of course there are no effects. The distortion is my gain being a bit too hot. I was just seeing how well I could do it learning it as quickly as I could, not making an actual attempt. Maybe I wasn't super clear about that.

you do have the required nut files to cut the slots accurately don't you? I mean, you can't just buy a slotted nut and expect it to be the right height. Every new nut needs work to level it to the right size and cut the slots.

he must be friends with someone where he lives who owns the all the strats. maybe it's his uncle or something. not sure how he does his samuel persona I'm thinking he must ask for pics through instant messaging but why some random brazillian guy would send pics to a weird american kid is beyond me. but these characters are his whole life so it shouldn't be so surprising when he pulls off seemingly impossible shit like he did in this thread

It's so obvious I think only /gg/ newbs are falling for it at this point. He has a pattern where he shits up every thread replying to himself while pretending to be different people until everyone leaves out of frustration, then when the thread is completely empty except for him he goes to bed. When he wakes up later this morning he'll start doing the same thing again like clockwork. He's an autism machine.

>he must be friends with someone where he lives who owns the all the strats. maybe it's his uncle or something
Pretty much this. He was saying yesterday that he had "things to do". He's been called out on his old guy persona over and over but today he's suddenly eager to "provide proof" that he really owns those guitars? Please! All it boils down to is he somehow has access to the guitars or the guy who owns them and is getting the photos. Not really hard to figure out because he's not smart enough to pull it off without it being painfully conspicuous.
>>73111217
>>73111239
And now notice when he gets called out on his bullshit he starts panic posting like a sperg because he can't handle it when one of his retarded troll attempts falls apart. He's been doing the same thing since he accidentally outed his Cortfag persona. How an idiot this fucking stupid took over the entire general I'll never know.

Why are does some people seem to hate guitars?

How do I get my action the absolute lowest I can get it, I make my bridge the lowest it can go, then I get all the strings just dying, so I go up a bit then just certain frets rings out. Does that mean if I fret E at 17, then my 18th fret is higher because the string hits that fret? Could I just take super fine sand paper to it?

I honestly don't know how to. I've proved beyond any doubt that I am in the same room as these guitars. I admit I can't actually prove they're mine.

>i need a flashy guitar to compensate for my lack of skill.

sun tanning electrics? thoughts on that?

I did some reading about it and decided to try it on my old, no longer frontman electric (2010 strat knock off w/ poly finish). Basically I brought the guitar outside, set it on the stand and let the sun hit the face for 15 min, then the back for 15, and did that again (so 30 min each side broken into 15 min sessions so it wouldn't get too hot). It was about 60 degrees outside with no cloud coverage, and I just brought it inside to room temperature. I know 1 session won't allow me to judge if it "tanned" the guitar (i'm going for a faded look), but i'm curious if anyone here has ever done this.

>>73113099
Fuck off roman

>>73113665
if by tanned you mean warped

>>73113682
i know warping can occur, that's why i didn't let each side get more than 30 min total for tanning.

how many more time until i can shred

>>73113898
Well it was a nice sunny day so i decided to practice outside. After a couple of hours i took a beer and bud break and left my guitar on a stand right next to me in the sun. I probably did this like 4 times that week.And one day i left it on a table upside down for a bit while i ran to the store. And then one day i realized that my guitar had yellowed a bit. I like how it looks.

Looks great, but for a little more I could buy a Carvin bass kit. I'm looking for a beater under $300

Also, I want a neck pickup. If Music Man made 2-pickup SUB models, especially an HH, forget about it, I'm sold. Not paying 2 grand for a Music Man...yet.

Ain't nothing better than a big ol' honkin' neck humbucker on a bass. So many wiring options. Series, parallel, inner/outer coils, splitting...ohh...I'm drooling.

If it was a stack, you could split it. Not recommended since you'd get almost no output.

You can TAP any pickup, though. It basically reduces the windings in the pickup, for a more trebly, lower output sound. For example, I could tap an ultra-hot single coil so it sounds more like a vintage Strat pickup

I'm pretty new to alternate tunings and for the life of me i cant figure out what these two songs are tuned to. i feel like they're both in drop d but with some other weird shit in there too. any help would be super appreciated.

They sound different because they're voiced differently.
Soapbar format plays nothing on this, that's like saying "fuck white pickups I had one that I didn't like so I'm never buying a white pickup again".

It's also really ironic to say that you want a BTB when they have the exact same pickups as the SR500 series and up.
