/gg/ - guitar and bass general

hello

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

Asking question again here because I didn't really get many answers in the last thread.

I think it'd be cool to have a Rickenbacker, I like their sound, but there's no place to try one out in town. Should I just say fuck it and buy one anyways?

What do you guys usually have the volume knob(s) on your guitar at when you play? Do you leave them at 10 and adjust gain/level to where you want, or do you back it off some?

Anyone play Oud here? I was in the process of assembling a fretless guitar (to mimic an oud) then it occurred to me that I could just sink all that money into an oud.

>>73436869
so you think you should recieve many answers

>>73436869
>"no"
jk

have you looked at a bunch of different reviews on a particular model? from professional reviewers to potato cam reviewers?

if all of those combined and you still like it, go for it. it's how i bought my stuff that i couldn't test out myself, and i've been quite happy with them.

>>73436869
Check the laws where you live. It may be possible to ship it back if you aren't satisfied.

>>73436869
Do a calculation of risk vs reward.
What is the worst case scenerio? what is the best case scenerio? how likely is each scenerio to happen?

It's really subjective. if the reward is worth the risk for you, just go for it

>>73436973
>tldr im a fag who doesnt like taking risks

>>73436991
Not all risks are worth it. it depends how big is the risk and how big is the reward

>>73436941
Do you also have a volume pedal in your chain?

>>73436924
i leave everything at 10 mostly, because i keep things on a clean setting.

but when i don't i'm usually like this guy >>73436941

His farewell tour is taking him through the US only, I don't know if he'll do another one in Europe. I hope so, otherwise it would make me quite sad.

Is this guitar any good? It's Fender CD-60, I'm interested if it's worth spending money on it, if it's crap, faulty and so on.

>>73437272
Are you some kind of jazz fag or something? How much?

>>73437337
ah I'm sure he'll come through Europe, I'm guessing it's just touring in the US that's a bigger hassle for him.

>>73437453
Kind of...It should be around $4500. The dude makes them entirely by hand and he's insanely knowledgeable, honestly they're a bit underpriced considering Gibson would probably charge you $12,000+ for something similar.

Yes, I would definitely recommend guitar-oriented aggressive jazz.

What cheap acoustic guitars would you recommend for someone who played only classical guitars?

>>73438094

>>73437861
Aggressive how? If you mean just shredding you can't go wrong with Jimmy Bruno.

For heavy jazz I don't know much that's actually good from a guitar perspective. Maybe some Tim Berne projects . Scorch Trio is good too

>>73438393
Not him, but that's what I'm planning to do. Is that bad?

>>73438393
Right now I don't need it, and aren't electro-acoustics worse in raw sound than pure acoustics?

>>73438499
I'm sure you have a lot of friends.

>>73438519
yeah such a large band i'm in

>>73438499
I disagree. That said, I only have electrics.

>>73438657
its just a preamp box and a little output jack, cant really change the sound. just a little volume decrease, like a cutaway causes, but not actual tone change

>>73438753
I'm not really interested in electro-acoustics or acoustics. Like I say, I only have electrics.

>>73436754
How do I make communist music on my bass? Please help.

>>73438760
ok i thought you were the one looking for a steel acoustic

but you can play acoustics, right?

>>73438801
I just wondered what your thoughts were regarding people who play for themselves.

how to achieve this bass tone with a j bass?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMM99Mubflk

>>73438448
The back and sides of an acoustic have fairly little to do with it's sound, that is mostly done by the top. It's really mostly about how stiff the materials and the construction of the rest of the guitar is, the stiffer the more vibration gets sent back into the top to produce sound, but the actual sound is the top.

>>73438811
fucking loners lol
are you a loner playing electric on his room pretending to be someone else?

>>73438850
No to both.

so the loudest acoustic would be made by some wood like rosewood?

>>73438800
use sovtek tubes on your ussr-made tube radio

>>73438800
Suck, then blame others.

>>73438876
There is even more interesting stuff when you get to cellos, again the top makes for most of the sound but the endpin has a huge influence on volume. Older endpins tend to vibrate more freely, meaning they eat a lot of energy that doesn't resonate back into the top to produce sound. A company even made an adjustable endpin for "traditional" sound where it vibrates more freely and a mechanism that lets you stiffen it.

I'm not joking here, I want to make proper communist music but I only have a bass and not a guitar.
Also, communism != the CCCR

>>73438957
I'd get a Yamaha (FG or FS) or a Seagull S6. Read the reviews.

>>73438957
get a jumbo model anon, its just plain better

Can passing chords be used to move upward chromatically? Or upwards in general?

I'm trying to do Cmaj7 - Db7 (or Ddim7) - Dm7 and it just feels weird, even though moving downward with Dm7 - Db7 - Cmaj7 seems just fine.

>>73436924
I crank the amps up and have the volume on the guitar around 2 if I want it quiet and higher when I need more volume

>>73439008
>>73439030
I'm buying this C2C, so I can't really choose, and both Yamahas and Seagulls are hundred bucks more. This is the main problem, that I can only pay in cash, otherwise I'd buy it from Amazon.

Since you're talking about steelstring acoustics, have you guys heard of Baton Rouge? Solid top guitars with extra wide nuts on many models (48mm on this grand auditorium and 46mm on a dreadnought).
Seems very appealing to me, this one is 370€, has a pickup system and 650mm scale length.

>>73439128
Can't ask for a favor from someone who can buy the guitar from Amazon?

Thinking about getting an SRFF805, what do you guys think?

>>73439783
Nice, proper Bartolini pickups, fanned fret is a good concept, I don't know how exactly the preamp sounds but it has the correct layout, yeah seems pretty nice provided the quality fit and finish is good.

Feature-wise it gets nearly all points from my, just lacks switches for single coil/parallel/serial, besides that it seems perfect.
Can't comment on the rest, pickups will be very good, I'm fairly confident the preamp will be at least fine, so it's all dependent on the fit and finish and overall quality. Buy it from a store where you can safely return it. The concept is more than sound, it's actually very good.

So let me get this straight:

Yeah man. Kinda frustrating when you watch interviews with people who've been in the music business for decades, talking about how they bought their now ridiculously expensive gear for a couple bucks from their drug dealer or whatever back in the day, or how they could afford to tinker around with and completely fuck up guitars experimenting with power tools and swapping out pickups like they cost nothing.

>>73446004
decent guitars are cheaper now, don't be misled by inflation

>>73439088
>>73445897
This. The descent from Dm7 to Db7 to Cmaj is a ii V7 I in the key of C Major, but using a tritone sub for the V7 chord.

If you're trying to connect Cmaj to Dm with a passing chord, try out Db Diminshed 7th.

>>73446004
my favorite example of this is the jazzmaster craze, fender was just selling dead stock in the 80s and 90s and now kids today are obsessed with them and paying thousands of dollars for them despite their guitar heroes only buying them because strats and les pauls were too expensive

Moving to the tonic in general is technically the strongest resolution you can have, so that's probably why ending on the Cmaj sounds more "correct".

I just realized that I got out of the habit of warming up. You really have to put in the effort to play consistently well. Better to have a routine than to say, "Fuck it! I suck." Running a couple of patterns everywhere seems to do the trick. Doesn't have to be the same two each time.

Let's say you found something like your dream guitar made by a company at a third of the price compared to if you custom-made the guitar. Thing is though, it isn't quite right: the proportions are off, the finish isn't as great, etc. Would you cop?

Is it possible to achieve a similar sound with the setting i have?, are the effects im using in guitar rig and their order adequate? do i have to use different effects or just affecting the nobs i can do it?

where did i go wrong?

>>73450489
Two things i'm noticing:
1. Your sound has a much narrower frequency range, particularly on the higher side of the frequency spectrum. this is the bigger issue, i believe. maybe the problem is with your original guitar tone

2. I think in the song they used some sort of double-tracking technique to widen the sound and give it a "Stereo" feel, while your sound is just mono.

A compressor never makes THIS much of a dramatic difference. usually the effect of compressors is more subtle than this. just letting you know

What are your thoughts on it?

>>73450542
>Your sound has a much narrower frequency range, particularly on the higher side of the frequency spectrum. this is the bigger issue, i believe. maybe the problem is with your original guitar tone
that means the problem is in the guitar, are the mics not good? they are seymour duncan after all.
>>73450542

>2. I think in the song they used some sort of double-tracking technique to widen the sound and give it a "Stereo" feel, while your sound is just mono.

so thats like making both channels a bit different so that it sounds like its coming from different directions?

>>73450594
Well, this are the two most common ways people do double tracking:

1. Just recording the guitar twice, and playing one recording 100% at the left side and the other one panned 100% to the right side.

2. just copy your guitar role in the DAW so that you will have it playing twice. then what you need to do is to move one of the copies about 30 milliseconds forward and slightly increasing it's volume (the increase in volume is because the 30ms delay creates a "volume drop" in the perception of the sound because it will always arrive second to your ears).

And then pan the original guitar recording and the delayed copy 100% to the left and right.

(the Delay doesn't have to be 30 milliseconds btw i just gave a number as an example. usually 30ms is a good number though)

>>73450594
And about the bigger issue, which is your guitar tone having a narrower frequency spectrum, maybe you are not using the proper mic technique.

And i mean, it could also just be your amp or guitar

>>73450542
>>73450649
and do you think the guitar is not good enough for this, it has seymour duncan mics, alternative 8 and classic 59

>>73450664
Idk i don't have your gear.
Try to experiment with it a little and get a better sound.

>>73450682
thank you crazydude

>>73450697
I would recommend you trying to open the tone knob of the guitar all the way if you didn't do it already.

Also what you really need is more high end, not more low end

Hey /gg/, can someone explain how does the tube amp actually work, specifically when trying to do stereo. I picture it like this, you send signal into the front, where there is some overdriving that colors your sound, but doesn't make the signal ready for speakers in the cab yet, after that it can send it the loop, where you can add other effects to it and then it's actually amplified and ready for the cab. Is this correct? And if it's correct, is there an other, cheaper way to do stereo than buying two heads? Specifically, I mean using choruses, flangers and stuff like that in the loop and then sending it to two different cabs, or is this impossible without a second amp?

how do you lot go about writing lyrics?
So far my method has been coming up with a melody to go along with the guitar rhythm
then using words that fit into that melody.
It's getting me nohere so I'm curious how you lot do it?

1MB, 1403x558px

post your acoustic

>>73450953
I'll tell you what i think:

1. The amplification process itself is what causes the distortion sound when you overdrive your amps. (unless your amp has an effect distortion built in).

2. If you are going to run one head into two cabinets, it is possible but you must have the correct impedance. using two cabs either increases or decreases the impedance based on whether you run it in series or parallel

3. If you want to get cheap stereo live without using any DAW trickery, you could always just get a Stereo combo like the Roland JC40 (well, this amp doesn't really fit any genre tho)

My fingers hurt after a while, because you have to press down pretty hard, but that may be the case with any acoustic in that price range. I'm looking at buying a Martin DX1RAE or DX1AE. Or any other great guitar in that price range. (~€700)

That's what I've heard. I don't really mind it not being solid wood, because I don't want to spend that kind of money on a really good guitar right now. It's just meant to practice more until I'll inevitably start looking for another guitar a couple of years down the road

You didn't buy two so it would be unfair if they charge for two, you can do a chargeback with your bank if they do. Most they can reasonably ask is that you return the faulty order, while they pay the shipping costs.

is it bad if i never learn other people's songs? i dont find it stimulating enough to have to "learn" an already established song. my practice routine is me opening up fl studio and my amp sim, turning on the metronome and playing a riff or chord progression i thought of, practicing it, recording it and putting a lead melody or vocals over it

if i want to improve my technique in various styles and become a better guitar player then I have to learn other songs. I keep trying to learn jazz standards just to learn the chord changes and substitutions but I keep getting bored. so many good artists make cool and intuitive covers or just play them for fun and i feel like i'm not a "real" guitar player if i can't play covers sometimes and enjoy it, just someone who uses the guitar to make music

While credit cards are not a panacea, I would never trust mexican stores with my debit card, they suck for everything online.

i fucking love alternative open chords.

for example, make a C major chord. now slide it down 2 frets. you've now got a D major.

Make an G major, slide it down to the 8th fret. boom, C. slide it further down two frets and you've got another D.

but screw those chords. real men make an E major chord, slide it down 4, 6 or 8 frets, and you get a G, A or a B.

>>73457840
I think of guitarists as violinists of rock/metal/jazz scene, the market is super over saturated, so if you get any gig you are probably better than 80% percent of other players, so it really shows that you can actually play. But I agree that bass is more looked after, especially in funk/jazz where you need more than 1 string to be an useful addition to a band.
