So a guy wants to trade me my Fender MP Marauder for either a Yamaha Sbg200 or an Akai gx4000d tape recorder, should I trade for either of those? I'm interested in the tape recorder for babby's first recording but idk how to use it and the guy trading says he only used it a couple times. I asked if there was any issues and this is what he said "There is, it records and the wheels turn great but there are shorts in the volume knobs that need tweaked. I never had the manual and don't know much about reel to reels so I only used it a couple of times" he also said "I Could throw in a cpl tascams too, porta 03 mkii and a porta 02 mkii" whatever those are.

If your guitar says "Squier" on the headstock, you're a fucking LOSER
If your guitar says "Epiphone" and wasn't made in Kalamazoo you're a fucking LOSER
If your guitar says "Fender" and wasn't made in the United States of America but was instead made in Mexico you're a fucking LOSER
If your guitar says "Gretsch" and is part of the Electromatic line you're a fucking LOSER
I don't care if you swapped out the pickups I don't care if it was your first guitar I don't care if it sounds "good" (it doesn't) I don't care if you "like it" (you don't) You are a LOSER
LOSER
If you claim to be a musician, and play one of these "guitars", you're a fucking LOSER
LOSER
I have more respect for the "musicians" posting on Soundcloud threads (check out this rap beat I copied but changed the tempo of using software) than any hipster faggot playing a god damned toy and pretending to be a guitarist. Why would anybody take you seriously when you're such a cheap and selfish LOSER that you can't even save up more than 300 dollars to buy a real guitar?
Luis Scott
Ok so im gonna have a sick setup and have run into some extra cash recently. I've never fuxed with pedals a second in my life but i'm interested in trying them. what's the most unconventional and relatively cheap pedals y'all can think of? I'm gonna have a Guild X50 Cordoba in 2 months if that makes any difference.

Lincoln Morales
This is why I stick to First Act bro.
Benjamin Sanchez
I would definitely trade for the SBG, that particular model was on the lower end but it's way better than the marauder imo. I would try to get him to trade something else on top too though, since the marauder does sell for a bit more.

What's your favourite pickup configuration? Mine is HSH.
Cameron Powell
>hello kitty
I still need one
Jaxson Martin
>Current year >Not getting that purring low end
James Hill
If I understand correctly, that means humbucker -single-coil - humbucker
haven't played a single guitar with a neck humbucker, though it might be nice. the single-coil I have on the necc is kinda muddy, maybe a humbucker would be the thing to fix it. Maybe I should just fucking get around to adjusting my pickup heights.
Currently have HSS pickup configuration, which I don't hate Would kinda like to try H-H tho, the middle pickup keeps getting in the way
Ryan Gray
THis t b h
Jaxson Mitchell
A single p90 neck pick up is the true purists choice.
Help me /gg/, I love the design on this thing (kill me), but I want to find one that isn't shit.? Do I buy it and have work done on it, or do I buy something different? It's just aesthetically appealing to me. Anything like this?
Matthew Morales
>he fell for the luthier meme
Adam Richardson
I like SS My main guitar has a lipstick in the neck, and a custom humbucker-sized single coil from the Creamery. Just put in new 300k CTS pots and upgraded some Floyd parts to brass and it sounds better than ever. Couldn't be happier with the sound of this guitar now
Logan Lee
just 2 humbuckers

Honestly yeah you'll have to work on them. I would really suggest something different though unless you're actually backpacking with it, they just sound abysmal

Noah Jones
Vocaroos anyone? Let's hear what you're currently working on.
Needs some smoothing out it doesn't feel like it hits so hard on beats 1 and 3, there's some very awkward jumps into unusual chords. Angel Romero did it better, but I'll clean it up in the next two months before the wedding.

Jeremiah Collins
Can't, jack output is unsoldered and I still havent gotten my hands on a soldering iron. Thanks for reminding me I need to learn new songs though.
Jeremiah Gomez
wish you grew up playing a broken/shitty guitar so you wouldnt act like a jackass right now
Lincoln Perez

can't too busy practicing
Levi James
are you implying that the person who made that pasta isn't a poorfag troll who got triggered when people called squiers shit?
Xavier Flores
Excuses, you had enough time from practicing to make that post.
Elijah Walker
well I don't come to these threads often
Angel Nguyen
I'm not bother going around at 23pm looking for a soldering iron so I can get validated by Mr. Cockgobbler.
Lincoln Davis
Is an amplifier integral to what you're practicing?
John Barnes
>is an amplifier integral to wanking scales alone to a metronome
Anthony Cruz
So you're not really practicing music then. Turn the metronome down and let's hear it anyway.
Brody Hernandez
some serious dulcet tones right here.
Brayden Williams
Senpaitachi what's the secret to Tosin Abasi's slap guitar tone? It feels so glassy and snappy, I know for a fact it's super compressed but I seriously can't figure out what the other key elements for such "perfect" tone.
Which brings up another thing I need to work on. It's nice and soothing to play everything dolce on guitar, but it's more musical to have a wide colour palette to accent when things are supposed to be pretty and when they're not.
Noah Martinez
When they stop producing the MetalZone meme machine.
>Sandberg My nigga. Always wanted one. What's the tone like?
Daniel Long
who the fuck thinks scales alone is music ? do you think I'm michael angelo batio ?
partly bright fresh strings, and also using bass-like technique. youtube.com/watch?v=kPiJMrlEXUA When you're using fingers and not the thumb, dig in and pull the string a bit before releasing it, it gives that extra snap.
Aaron Sanders
my lad I can do that shit easly, the problem is the tone, it's just too bright/clear/snappy/poppy/glassy idk how to describe it
Isaac Morales
>What's the tone like? I could only give you a DI recording on clyp.it if you want that. Those Delano humbuckers are super versatile, especially with the 3 band EQ. I plan on adding coil split switches as well.
Evan Perez
it's full of mids. if you have one, use a single coil, his former signature model had one in the middle for a reason.
Cooper Flores
>single coil
JUST! I'll try to split one of my BKP Aftermath
>tfw the Axe Fx is still super expensive
Ryder Foster
HH with a coil tap. Only correct answer.
Christopher Evans
That might work too, his new model is only HH and he still pulls off that tone. It's not a particularily complex sound to get imo.
Xavier Phillips
Why is everyone on that AxeFX wagon? Any half-decent valve amp does the exact same job for half the price, especially if you're playing clean. Anyway, have you considered Kemper?
Alexander Richardson
>Why is everyone on that AxeFX wagon? Any half-decent valve amp does the exact same job for half the price
Well first of all it think it's super handy when you're touring considering it's size and weight. Second I think that the Axe Fx/Kemper are bretty gud when it comes to 7/8 string modern metal all on them mid heavy tones but kinda shit on everything else (even tho I've seen several rock n roll legends switching to the Kemper latelyI). I'd never do post-rock or blackgaze or any of those "effects heavy" genres with an Axe Fx desu.
>Anyway, have you considered Kemper?
Yeah, the Kemper is a bit less expensive compared to the Axe Fx but I've heard it's a bit less performing when it comes to cab sims especially after the last firmware update on the Axe
Yeah I saw him live 1 week ago, pretty nice live. Idk about the tone, I've been trying to getting something similar for a few months now using both simulated amps and real amps but I'm kinda stuck, I should have bought the fucking vip package just to ask him.

Daniel Roberts
Hey /gg/, could use some advice.
I want to get into fingerstyle since I get bored playing with a pick and I'm trying to figure out what fingerpicks I should get. Any recommendations? I figure I'd rather get plastic ones because I'd prefer the mellower sound compared to metal ones, but if metal is the way to go I'll do it.
I've tried using the just the flesh of my fingertips but it feels a little clumsy, and I'm primarily a pianist so growing out my natural nails or getting acrylic ones is not an option for me.
Nolan Bell
Don't wanna sound like a total jackoff, but if those two are the only points, there's no reason to spend that much on an AxeFX or even to consider doing so. Neither, with Kemper btw. Occasionally, you can find a used Fender Bassman which doesn't require you to sell one of your kidneys. But if that's what you're going for, by all means, do it. Don't wanna play the judgemental jackoff.
>Implying "boutique" resistors and capacitors aren't the same as the "mortal" ones or simulators, even Seriously, why do you think it's called AxeFX?!
Jackson Cruz
I would try using the fingertips for often. It's always going to feel clumsy until you're use to it. I'd recommend using Giuliani's 120 right hand studies for exercise so you have proper technique too. They're progressive studies so it's not like it's super difficult either.
