god, that guitar looks so gay.
you might as well slap a gay pride sticker on the side of that with a tag around your neck that says "i suck cock for free"
Alexander Nelson
When I turn on my Digitech Space station, it's way too loud but sounds great. The only solutions I've found are:
>Lower the volume knob on my instrument >Lower the volume/gain on my amp
I don't like either of these because it messes with my tone / distortion. Would a compressor pedal do the trick? Should I put it before or after the Space Station?
My chain right now: >Guitar >EHX Pitchfork >Digitech Space Station >Mr Black Phase shifter >Mr Black Reverb
>intentional creating soundwaves for aesthetic or expressive purposes
why is it happen
Colton Myers
sup /gg/. i really want to upgrade from my shitty Les Paul Special ll into something better. is it a waste of money to buy one of these DIY kits and mod it myself? are these guitars even playable? i want a strat, but i hate most of their colors. i want to buy this DIY kit, give it just a clear finish, and slap on some custom pickups and hardware.
Jackson Cooper
If you know exactly how you want your guitar to look/feel/sound, go for it. It can be a good way to save money and it's a pretty fun process. Plus, it's super gratifying to play a guitar that you essentially built with your own hands. The resell value is terrible though, so keep that in mind.
Christian Flores
thanks. i'm just worried i'll screw up and end up with a guitar with a loose neck or something.
Hudson Hall
Baja Tele or Nashville tele
Noah Baker
>Strat winning the poll Never knew /gg/ had such shitty taste
Zachary Mitchell
It's not. It's something you made up in an effort to shitpost about strats.
Jaxson Mitchell
You see more fat people using strats because more people use strats
Landon Howard
If it's your first, then it might not turn out as good as you'd wish. Unless you want the thrill of building your guitar I'd rather buy a good Strat second hand and refinish it/sand and clear coat it.
Daniel Bennett
fender usa professional strat
Ayden Ortiz
Y'all excited for this?
David Perry
Steve Morse would be proud.
Luke Campbell
They aren't generally cheaper than refinishing a finished guitar and replacing pickups, and generally have worse necks. Surprisingly enough, it's cheaper for the stuff to be assembled in China for ease of shipping. Going the mod route, I'd recommend just getting the cheapest guitar you can find with a respectable quality neck that fits your preferences.
Levi Cruz
kek, true Wouldn't magnetic pull of several pickups affect the sustain somehow? Or it's just a matter of adjusting the height well enough to counter that.
Owen Nelson
so basically, get a Squire and pimp it out?
Sebastian Nguyen
>not installing a sustainer
Carson Rogers
A compressor isn't going to volumetrically equalize the massive difference between your two signals from the Space Station's probably 6+dB gain. They don't work like that.
You need a volume pedal, or to adjust the internal gain trim on the Space Station, or to say fuck it to whatever shitty patch the Space Station is on, because a lot of them (especially anything with sideband ring mod) are just crazy loud.
Nicholas Thomas
RIP Tom ;_;
Easton Jones
Y'know, I've never even considered that. I'm guessing their heights are all adjusted to compensate, like you said. Who knows, though. It might help his violin-y playstyle.
Andrew Barnes
it all depends on the strenght of every magnet added up, my bridge humbucker is ~2mm away from the strings and the difference in sustain is unnoticeable.
Jack Hill
No one want to answer my newfag question?
Brody Thompson
I like the baja better. SSS and Tele don't do it for me and I really don't like how the mid pup looks there. Go Strat for that.
Easton Fisher
Yeah that's what i was thinking, maybe i should get a Nashville later on though, i was considering one because i played some strats and none did it for me
Joseph Bell
who
Jason Rodriguez
Go with your gut. Buy used if possible. Have someone who knows something about guitar come make sure nothing weird is going on with it.
Priorities: 1. Is the neck comfortable? 2. Does it sound good? 3. Nothing else matters.
That's it. Even then as long as a neck is a right fit the sound can always be improved. Don't get stuck on Fenders despite what the fags here say... Play a ton of guitars. If you're the blues guy playing on a BC Rich, nobody will actually care when you're performing.
Nolan Martin

Luke Richardson
I need something with a headphone jack because I'm living with other people next year at university. I really like the sound of this amp, but for the budget any recs are welcome
Is this a good looper pedal? I'm about to pick one up from CL for $100, wanted know if it's the best option at that price.
Kayden Lewis
Basically, but I don't think squire is a great choice unless you really want the headstock. Seems like you have to spend $200 just to get a sturdy neck.
Chase Reed
To answer simply, no. There are two parts to a magnetic field and in order for damping to occur the string has to be within the inner field. I don't remember the terms for this stuff, but it boils down to that the string would have to be nearly touching for damping to occur. I think Dylan pickups had a lecture on YouTube about it.
Colton Ramirez
All looper pedals are pretty much the same until you start spending a shit-ton of money on the higher end Boss, EHX, or the Pigtronix.
Owen Jackson
Tom
Nolan Collins
This. You need polarization. It's the premise of an ebow or a Fernandez Sustaniac.
John Powell
I have one (got it on eBay for $80) and I like it quite a bit. It has a lot of extra features that the Ditto and most of the lower priced loopers don't have. Digitech pedals are usually good sturdy quality from my experience too.
Asher Campbell
>3. Nothing else matters.
I mean I know that song is easy but do I really have to play it on all the guitars I try out?
Dominic Thompson
get sunn O))) on this
Mason Torres
It's Squier you stupid faggots
Squier, look at your fucking guitar's goddamned headstock.
Samuel Thompson
Why the fuck do people even buy squiers? Just start on a shit acoustic and save money for a good guitar that will last you years, rather than a piece of shit that you will hate after one year
Lucas Morgan
hi all, I've been playing for 5months with some starter pack with a fender amp and a bad fender strat - those 150$ starterpacks and I'm about to buy some better gear in 2-3 months >24yo finally out of uni, with a job and free time >gonna buy a Jackson JS32 Kelly as my first metal guitar my dream is to play old and new thrash and death metal as in Megadeth, Carcass, Death, Dying fetus, Xentrix, Exodus and so many others
Megadeth was one of the bands that influenced me the most when i was a kid
I'm here to ask you guys - what amp in the range of 300-400$ should i get for my Jackson given i want to achieve that darker sound of thrash and death metal is it even worth buying a cheap amp or should i save up for something better? the amp i have now is awful and the drive channel sounds shit - 60$ amp kind of shit
Henry Russell
Lmao
Christian Thomas
>buy a shit guitar with bad upper fret access and a useless resonant chamber instead of a simple shit guitar
Lincoln Johnson

Easton James
If you didn't play Nothing Else Matters on your Squier Bullet then you don't belong here
Jordan Davis
That guitar can't to shit compared to mine.
Suck a dick, Steve.
Easton Phillips
Because a shit acoustic will be cheaper, thus you get more money for a good used guitar and a good begginer amp
Parker Johnson
Thanks guys, I think Imma go for it then. I was looking at the Boss RC-2, but someone suggested the Jamman instead. I would go for one of the higher end ones but I don't really plan on making loops the cornerstone of my performance, this would be more for practice and jamming. The Ditto seems like a meme.
Isaiah Richardson
>a shit acoustic will be cheaper sure, a shit acoustic will be cheaper than a shit electric, but a shit acoustic will also be barely playable, have a stupidly thick neck, and might also suddently break down because who the fuck would trust the chinese to do a proper bracing. plus a lot of people who learn on acoustic don't learn to mute properly and sound like shit later on.
Michael Rogers
anyone wanna gib me advice ?

I have high arches and converse have no support so I can't wear them (I wouldn't want to anyway)
Jaxon White
Just buy a Blackstar. All the kids seem to buy them today for high gain.

>short scale squad More like a short bus.
Chase Jones
I want to replace my MIJ Squier P-Bass pick-ups with some Fender P-Bass pick-ups. Is there actually a difference between them? (actual improvement soundwise) If so, how can I identify them apart? since I might buy them used from the internet.
James James
You're probably going to want to save a bit more. Unfortunately you can't get a good metal tone out of most solid state amps which eliminates most really cheap options. Fortunately one of the most used metal amps (5150/6505) is fairly cheap. Some amps I would check out are the Orange Dark Terror, the Peavey 6505 combos, and the Marshall DSL 15c and 40c. I know Chuck Shuldinger (Death) used a Marshall Valvestate 8100 which I know you can get for super cheap actually, so check those out as well.
Caleb Torres
There's probably a difference, I wouldn't know about your bass specifically but you can pop the pickguard off and see if you have bar magnet or magnetic pole pieces. I don't recommend going for fender over other brands of aftermarket pickups though. I think bill Lawrence makes a really nice set.
Elijah Reed
>Peavey 6505 combos the 5150 combos are 2x12" and made in USA but tend to go off at similar prices
Benjamin Ramirez
Hi
My gear
> Ukulele stagg > Accoustic guitar > Bass Ibanez GSR200 (the one with 4 potentiometers) > Eagleton amplifier 50W 12'
I still play guitar since 2 years and ukulele and bass since 1 year, I play better bass or uku than guitar and I would improve my skill with my bass and my uku
What about pedal too ? I heard that useless with bass.
And I would paint on my uku (the wood doesn't look vanished)
Charles Young
That feel when no ones recognizing Devin Townsend's Framus Baritone 7 string LED projecting LED inlay fog machine guitar "Ziltoid V"
>80's Silverburst Les Paul Custom w/ built-in fog machine connected to propriety Gibson™ fog juice backpack
That'll be $666,000, drone lawyer.
Daniel Sanchez
i keep trying to buy something from this local guitar shop that's really helpful, but they have zero inventory. i tried to buy an explorer case and they didn't have one, they didn't even say they could order one, just told me to buy it online. literally. and today i tried to buy a wah and they didn't have any. they said because nobody buys them... but they have niche stuff like volume expression pedals...
