posted in thread the other day but didn't get a chance to see replies
recently bought new Fender Duo-Sonic. Thoughts?
Landon Jackson
also have these in my collection >inb4 what do you need all those knobs for
Ethan Perry
My pedalboard and sorta new amp. Digging that Bass Whammy how you liking it?
Saw one in GC, didn't play it though. How does it sound? Looks sick as fuck desu
Camden Torres
I enjoy it. I've never owned a guitar with the vintage style frets (they're fucking tiny) so that's taken some getting used to. But the sound is sick. Cool out of phase sounds when you split the humbucker and put the switch in the middle position. Very versatile

Hey airline guy here, gf recently got her setup underway too, She's rocking the Airline 3P DLX though.
Man that sounds great to be honest, I love out of phase sounds even though most people find them unusable.
see, I got it from a weird thrift shop that was selling it and an Airline 2p. I picked the T&C because I didn't want people to think I was trying to be Jack White (it was red and white). But I love the body shape of the 1p, 2p, and 3p models. How is it treating her?
The out of phase sounds are generally unusable, but my band plays some funk-esque stuff sometimes. I also use it for really noisy solos because it does sound disgusting a lot of the time
Mason Jackson
She likes it a lot actually, I was pretty shocked because they're single coils NOT humbuckers, I was tripping out when I found that out. She said it's really sparkly. I'm looking to grab the Jetsons Jr. red/white myself because well in the opposite vein I really want a Jack White inspired look heh. I was also thinking of just getting the white model.
Liam Torres
on the T&C, only the middle one is a humbucker. Considering switching to a 5-way switch to be more similar to the 3P. I was shocked when I found it out too. How much did she get it for?
Daniel Clark
I'd never buy an acoustic guitar without playing it first
Levi Anderson
On reverb for I think it was $650ish shipped with the hardshell case. It's one of the limited indigo blue runs too, number 13/24 if I remember. She also just got the marshall cab for a good deal, 450 cash (its a 1960 vintage 412 cab) so she was able to finally play through the Mesa for the first time a day or two ago.
Angel Cruz
Violin is utter shit at polyphony.
Ryan Young
uhm why do you have such a big pedalboard for just a few pedals lmao
Jaxon Watson
orange is untalented man's apple
Jason Jones
>he has no one to play with and probably know nothing about vertical harmony
Joshua Flores
I somtimes play my guitar vertically when im half asleep at my desk
John Scott
>he can't carry a melody and accompaniment by himself You're just talking about chord contruction. I can look at a chord on the staff and tell you what it is and use macro analysis to tell you its place in the piece. Vertical harmony is not a very common way of describing that, but I'll take it.

Lucas Robinson
that's not bad at all. Totally jealous of the indigo too
Gabriel Reed
Is it true flat wounds fuck up rosewood fingerboards than other boards? I'm sick of buying new rounds every month. I tried Ernie ball, ghs, dadarrio, rotosounds and fender. Some sound great but don't last long. Help me lads pls.
Luke Moore
Why would it? Ideally the string rarely touches the fingerboard, most electric guitars today use jumbo frets. Rosewood fretboards are unlacquered though, so they are susceptible to things that a heavily lacquered maple fretboard wouldn't be.
Jace Morgan
Post degenerate guitars.
Zachary Cook
I play bass m8 so I hit the strings pretty hard as it is.
Gabriel Lewis
How to reduce this ~5Hhz harshness Its a SM57 copy by the way
>3 bolt neck >big headstock >polyester finish >natural body color >black pick guard 100% degenerate
Landon Bailey
Btw i already did a cut to 100hz and 10khz
Michael Ross
What's the best shape for electric
Christopher Bell
Fits me pretty well desu
Ryder Ramirez
i need a low watt (
Gabriel Fisher
I bought the same one. The humbucker is straight shit and it needs to be re wired like most cheap fenders. I changed the neck too but I don't think that's necessary.
Nathan Carter
I either need to lose weight or get a car. My feet are killing me after carrying around a bass + backpack for an entire day. And fuck public transport with a huge ass gigbag.
Jayden Baker
scratch the band names, just think tech death, grind, black, and doom
Eli Martinez
Love it. Mixed with the fuzz you can come up with nice sounding harmonies. I built it myself, ya turd.
Lucas Williams
What about a 6505 mini head? Those go down to 10 and 5 watts, people seem to like them a lot
Isaac Hughes
ive thought about it, i just want something where the build quality is readily apparent. not necessarily flashy but just us made and high quality components.
Christopher Anderson
I don't hate the humbucker really but to each his own I guess
Nathaniel Gray
...
Caleb Fisher
The range isnt really wide enough to pick up a lot of the envelope filter stuff I like to do. I've wanted a duo sonic forever though and modding this one is better than getting a parts one with Chinese shit thrown in
Ayden Cox
Is this guy trying to pull a fast one, because it is clearly a 115 or a 112
why didn't you build it smaller if you weren't gonna use the whole space lmao
I'm gonna repost mine just for the heck of it and cause I like /pedal/ talk.
Evan Williams
>us made Why though? Even if they outsource manufacturing to China, they still churn out reliable products
I was gonna recommend a German company Hughes & Kettner TubeMeister Deluxe 20, but I see they also outsource to China.
Check out Revv Generator 7-40. Built in Canada, but more than twice the price of the others
Chase Murphy
This looks dodgy as fuck tbqh. Clearly looks like a 1x12/1x15 + tweeter but the 4 ohm + 400W fact make it pretty unlikely to be a 1x12. Plus I've never seen old ampegs with black grillcloth and no white lining. Also that's the old ass ampeg logo (big font, 70s-80s stuff) on some kind of sticker? the fuck is that? would not cop 100%
David Thomas
What's that mxr bass compressor like dude? I've been meaning to buy one but I have no stores nearby that stock it so I'm unable to try it.
William Hernandez
It's good, complex, and versatile. The input/output is a little redundant. They could've made one knob and called it gain. That's the complexity of the pedal. When switched on, there's a boost that acts almost like a pre-amp. Good pedal. Many options out there for people with different budgets, this one I found to be above the rest. I chose MXR over the Seymour Duncan because you have more control.
I bought it off sweetwater, came the next day.
Kayden Brown
he's probably referring to the tweeter
Dylan Turner
How's that neck pickup?
Asher Scott
Firebirds are so cool, really need to get one one day. Played an Epiphone Firebirds bass once, smooth as fug
Cameron Johnson
Where you guys playing this week/in the near future?
Playing tonight and Friday at two different downtown bars. Tonight will probably be good, but I have no hopes for Friday. At least where we're playing gives you a free beer per set and they're part of a craft brewery.
And for anyone traveling tonight, be safe. Biggest bar night of the year = biggest idiot concentration of the year.
Justin Robinson
>biggest idiot concentration of the year.
sounds like any ol' time of the year in the United States.
Jordan Adams
Surprisingly good. I'm the guy above who changed a lot of the parts but at least for now im keeping that
Asher Ortiz
>next show scheduled for february >opening for band's debut album at microbrewery >playing same material for about half a year now >can't get guys together to write something new >pop punk 3 months to go and I'm dying inside
Benjamin Thomas
I'm just getting back into it after a long break, I know a fair bit but I have a feeling this will really help. I bought a strat recently but am still looking for pedals and such to get. I'm into classic rock and punk sounds like the Clash and Arctic Monkeys. I'm also a fan of guitarist like John from Red Hot Chili Peppers and a massive fan of Eric Clapton. So far for sn amp I plan on buying a Fender blues Jr, but I'd like some pedal recommendation. So far I have a Vox wah and a Big Muff Pi for pedals, What would you guys recommend for me?
Gavin Wilson
What are some songs that don't use can the B string and the high E string? I broke them :(
Michael Hernandez
dude just go buy some stings, they aren't very expensive
Caleb Rogers
Dude, it's like half my allowance money to buy strings. That would mean I'd only be able to get like one McNuggets meal this week
Christopher Reed
not sure why but the tuners on that airline trigger me. They look too easy to bend or break off, also like they wouldn't stay in tune. I like it though.
absolutely ridiculous but I love it. wish the bassist in my band had pedals
pic related is a practice setup I used to use. main board is Boss Tu2 BBE optical compressor Maxon OD9 Boss DS2 NYC Big Muff Digitech bp50 EHX Holy Grail nano MXR Carbon Copy Line 6 DL4 Boss RC20xl
into 1966 fender bandmaster + some crate 2x12
Carter Flores
Ohhh
Yeah, just learn Green Day songs.
Aiden Diaz
The store's closed at this time of day. It's 9pm where I live.
Dylan Howard
>Any youtube video about Chinese guitars >comments full of people saying you should save up $4000 and buy a REAL Gibson instead of the $200 copy
When will they learn...
Jaxon Gray
Just learn some Sepultura songs, I think the rhythm guitarists only has EADG strings on his guitar
Thanks user.
Hudson Sullivan
$4000 gibson are pretty much all meme signature models anyways
Joseph Perry
Which take for Texas Flood is best Is any of them any good
fuck off I think 70's strats look cool. yes they are objectively worse but I like the vibe.
Brayden Lewis
get angry write an anti-establishment tune
Lucas Hernandez
Some tinder qt just asked me "what kind of guitar do you play?" Does she mean acoustic vs electric? I can't imagine she's asking about the make/model...
Henry Gray
3 RV-3s
Ethan Adams
tell her you use kramers and tight spandex
Angel White
>feel like playing guitar >turn on amp >wait 2 minutes for it to warm up >don't want to play guitar anymore
Wyatt Fisher
What do you need all those knobs for?
Logan Gomez
send her a picture
Robert Nguyen
If you want that sweet qt to wet herself, tell her you got a Flamenco acoustic or a classical. She won't be able to tell the difference between a luthier manouche and a $20 campfire guitar anyways. Then you seal the deal with the good ol' >AND AFTER AAAAAAAAAALL
Julian Green
>>feel like playing bass >>turn on amp >>wait .2 seconds for it to turn on >>play bass and enjoy my superior transistor amp
Luke Smith
>want to play guitar >turn on Axe-FX 2 >pick up .strandberg 8 string >turn on drum loops >play euphoric progressive metal
Josiah Myers
kek
Nicholas Cook
How do I get the 5-string bassist in my band to stop playing chords? It sounds like muddy ass. I think he just secretly wants to be a guitarist
Angel Baker
>When your too poor for a tube amp but want to feel superior
Nathaniel Ward
Get a new bassist.
Brody Hughes
I want to travel back in time and kick the fucking shit out of Floyd Rose. Setting up intonation on this thing is fucking HELL.
Xavier Perry
I'm not even sure if thats a guitar or a zither
Jaxon Bell
I miss the old small frets. I liked to feel the fretboard under my fingers which is often lost with the extra jumbo fuck off huge cable everybody puts on their guitars now.
Joseph Rivera
At least the saddle adjustment screws are behind the bridge. You have to fucking completely unwind half the strings just to get to the ones on TOM bridges.
Logan Miller
>when you want to sound superior but you stupidly apply the guitarist viewpoint of tubes to bass amps
Mason James
>When you want to sound superior but you play bass
Nobody hears or cares about you.
Hunter Hughes
I'm not the other user, I don't play bass. I'm just here to call you out on your obvious bullshit
Jordan Cook
please get a mic stand.
Jaxon Bailey
Where is that Fender made, because if it's made outside of the US you should just throw it into a landfill.
Jack Harris
tell him to eq properly for that shit or to cut it out
Asher Adams
Thunderbird's aren't good bases dude.
Thomas Rogers
SOME chords on bass sound really nice, but if his tone is shit, or he's not eq'ed properly, it's going to sound like garbage and I can see why it'd be a problem. So just tell him to cut it out since he doesn't seem to know what he's doing.
Austin Ramirez
I guess that's why he said Firebird.
As in the guitars.
Jace Sanders
feel free to read again, he just didn't know what a thunderbird was called. There is not firebird bass, as in the last part of the post.
Blake Reyes
going to post my personal blog here, someone give a newfag some pointers please
i started lessons summer last year, have been working my way up. I can read simple sheet that stays at the top of the neck, and I started fingerpicking when I got bored of strumming once I realized it requires no effort I bought the strat in nov. 2015, but never played it because I had bad fret buzz and other issues and I was too ignorant to understand how to fix it.
i got the lp just days ago, it got here looking like shit, and so I removed the strings and wiped the body and neck down. after that, i spent the last few days watching videos on guitar disassembly and maintenance, i never realized it was so simple. up to this point, all i had ever done was change strings on the acoustic. so i took the strat clone and had my teacher show me everything about it after i had removed everything besides the neck, i honestly had no idea it was this easy.
i am not rich, but i am in a comfy position where i can spend at will, and also it isn't like i spent thousands on stuff when i barely know how to play - the strat was $64, the classical was $180 reduced from $250 after the neck fell off in the shop and I also got a case for free with it, i won an auction on the epiphone, and the acoustic was the gift that got me started
just wanted to ask, what do with the strat? i don't see the point in ever replacing it considering the parts are interchangeable. what can I do to make it nice for years to come? I've already cleaned it, i'm thinking of getting one of those loaded pickup kits where you only have to solder the input and back thingy where the springs are. what do for the strat to make it a blast to play? any of you have suggestions for someone who may as well say he has no experience on an electric?
Jayden Morris
meant to type that the bridge fell off from the classical due to extreme cold, it was over a year ago and it was going unsold in the guy's shop because of that.
