Does anyone know what makes the Ibanez prestige basses so much more expensive compared to the premiums? From what I can tell, the differences are quality in woods, electronics, hardware. Though I can't figure out what makes the price jump so much from one to the other.
Parker Brooks
Micro Dark Terror, or save up for the Dark Terror? I'd go for the Tiny but no effects loop is kinda putting me off. No idea how much I'd even use effects that need the loop when I play distorted though.
Elijah Fisher
Cryogencially freezed frets.
What are Gibson memeing about now? Are they just talking about tempered steel fretwires?
Hudson Price
Save for the Dark, if thats the sound you're looking for. Keep an eye on the used market.
Dominic Sanders
there's already a thread dumbass
Ryan Rodriguez
I'm looking for a max 200€ home practice amp(might use for jamming with some friends). Should i get a Mustang II, Roland Cube 20gx(or 40gx), Boss Katana 50 or Blackstar ID Core 20?
Kevin Turner
I enjoy my Roland Cube. Would reccomend for home-use
Aaron Thomas
Anyone ever heard of these amps? Are they good?
Owen Foster
laney cub 10 if you can get a 12r, that's better
Jaxson Parker
That's the brand of amp Kirk Hammett first used when recording.
Christopher Williams
katana 50 for sure. Its a step up sound quality-wise from those last generation modeling amps
Avoid tube amps for home practice-theyre sublime when you turn them up a bit, but universally sound bad at bedroom volume. the tiny 5w ones are the worst at this actually
Joshua Young
yeah, theyre solid marshall clones
Jose Ortiz
I've been looking to buy a Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster for a while now but there's just one important detail I can never get a straight answer on, as I can never find one in person. Does any one know if this particular model has a glossy finish on the fretboard? This is an important detail for me. If not, does anyone know of any budget telecasters that do have that high gloss finish on the fretboard?
Ayden Parker
Post your most important piece of equipment. Pic related
Adam Sanders
You mean the part everyone unscrews and sticks in a drawer?
Adrian Howard
If you can find one of these on the used market, buy it. It's superior to the Nashville Tele in every way.
Charles Flores
What kind of bass rig is normal nowadays? Do people just carry a large-ish combo around or a 410 cab + head? Will I look retarded if I bring a 410 cabinet to a rehearsal? I was thinking about getting a combo amp used to bring for lower volume stuff and for rehearsals and then have the 410 halfstack at a dedicated practice space once that works out.
Cooper Harris
What is it called?
Thomas Wood
Just plug a DI into the PA.
Gavin Barnes
Valley Arts Custom Pro (Brent Mason model). Gibson mini-hum in the neck, Duncan Strat stack mid, Duncan tele bridge. Standard Tele switching, but there's an extra 'volume' knob that controls ONLY the middle pickup. This allows you to blend any amount of middle pickup regardless of where the pickup selector is. Incredible instrument. Of the 7 electrics I own, this on gets the most usage.
Asher Long
This is essentially what Fender based their Nashville Tele on. Brent Mason is an A-list session player, who brought the 3 pickup tele idea to the scene.
Nathan Williams
>Just plug a DI into the PA. Pretty sure there isn't a PA in most practice spaces.
William Reyes
Then how do you hear the vocals when you rehearse?
Jacob Martinez
How heavy/awkward are Rickenbackers?
Asking since I used to own a hollow-body Epiphone Dot that felt pretty clunky to play.
Joshua Wood
They are heavy but I've never felt they were awkward.
Cameron Fisher
Not him, but through a guitar practice amp. You'd think most musicians would be in charge of owning their own amplification, but that doesn't apply to vocalists apparently
Jacob Jenkins
That is such a nice looking guitar
Chase Campbell
Last time I did that, I was 16. How old are you?
Most actual bands have practice spaces with PAs. I practice in three different locations, all with their own PAs.
Alexander Perez
23, band for 4 years, just got a new vocalist. We used to rent a room per hour that had equipment in it including a PA, but now we rent an empty room by month since it's much cheaper
Hudson Foster
But to answer your question, I've seen bands use both larger cabs and head or a combo, the more serious bands have the former.
I would advise choosing one or the other (based on what sound you are looking for and how much $ you want to invest) and just accept you have to haul shit. Install wheels into your cab to make it easier. Fair enough. If you all chipped in like $50 you could get a cheapo PA head and speakers from a pawn shop. It's fine for rehearsal, then you collectively own it.
Wyatt Smith
Thanks! Found one used, as they were pricy when they first came out. Unfortunately they're out of production now, so used is the only way to aquire one; which may cause the price to rise as well. The finest quality instrument I own.
Jaxson Fisher
The Living End's Chris Cheney uses a Modern Classic 100. I guess they're built by Angus Young's tech.
Jaxson Young
Do you know how the Katana and the Marshall code compares?
Liam Lopez
Good used poorfag options for a basic practice amp? What about guitars? Used Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Jackson Dinky, and Ibanez of some sort are what I'm looking at mostly. I used to play lefty but I left my Epiphone Les Paul Standard back home1500 miles away five years and am pretty sure it's been sold by now. Figure I'd get back into it right handed this time.
Aaron Watson
Ahh okay. Just that they look awkward due to a large body but thin fretbroad.
If only my local guitar store wasn't shit and actually stocked quality guitars such as Ricks to trial.
Connor Ramirez
well, full disclosure, the fretboards are a bit big. But I have long fingers, so no problem.
Evan Adams
should i get an AC15 even if i'm only playing in my bedroom 100% of the time
David Gomez
Yeah they sound fantastic.
Maybe someday you'll get out of the bedroom, and you'll have a great amp for a band.
Sebastian Hughes
My '69 reissue Thinline Tele has a glossy fretboard but its quite a bit away from the Nashville model.
Brandon Cooper
Yeah, the katana is a mostly-analog Solid state amp based on the tech boss put in their waza amps. It has like 5 clean-crunch amp models that sound pretty good and one high gain model that sounds amazing (the brownsound one). Interaction is done through knobs like a regular tube amp
The code is basically a better version of the line6 spider. Has HUNDREDS of mediocre effects/amp models that are navigated through using either the onboard LED screen or an iphone app.
If youre a 12 year old that cant tell the difference in sound quality and just want a machine to fuck around with endlessly, get the CODE. If you want something more like a regular guitar amp, or something loud enough to jam on, get the Katana
Aaron Lee
Nope, tube amps and bedroom volume go together like milk and coke.
Get BIAS for your laptop, a focusrite I/O interface, and a decent pair of powered monitor speakers
Christian Mitchell
Great tele and a great chair.
Mason Adams
you mean Bias Amp for desktop?
Jeremiah Hill
yeah, i meant "bias amp for desktop" to put on your laptop
Michael Nguyen
>Get BIAS for your laptop, a focusrite I/O interface, and a decent pair of powered monitor speakers Oh did user say he wanted to sound like shit?
Evan Sullivan
and an 8 string
Ayden Campbell
Are you honestly implying an ac15 will sound better at bedroom volumes?
Mason Myers
it'll be fine.
Nolan Flores
How the fuck do i do barre chords Im pushing down as hard as I can trying it in every possible position and I still get like 3 dead notes.
Dylan Brooks
What is there to do on downtime when your hands hurt way too much to play?!??!?!?
William Myers
Anybody here use Revalver from peavey? I just ordered my 6505mh and got it for free. I don't really wanna spend money on an interface and cables if it is shit.
Alexander Baker
Keep practicing. You'll get it in like a month. Take ibuprofen then research musicians you want to emulate.
Jordan Perez
I have an AC15 and live in an apartment. It's although it surely does sound better at 12 o'clock it's perfectly fine at 9 o'clock on the master volume.
Adam Martinez
pick up a cheap nylon guitar. it won't create the calluses you want like a steel string or electric but it's a relatively painless way to develop your finger muscles.
Kevin Campbell
Pretty stupid question considering I have been playing for 8 years but here goes:
When you do runs across multiple strings is your hand just supposed to rotate around your palms pivot point, or are you supposed to keep the pick perpendicular and go in a diagonal motion.
I have been doing the first way for years but I lose volume as I reach the higher strings and the pick angle goes to like a 45 degree angle.
Joseph Williams
>tfw your neck is still bowing forward despite the truss rod being fully tightened
Wtf am I supposed to do.
William King
see a luthier
Jace Nelson
get a new neck
Kevin Allen
go to a repairer/luthier could be a simple fix, but you don't want to fuck yourself
Also keep the pick diagonal. A perpendicular pick contributes to sloppiness
Brandon Peterson
do people really even hurt their index fingers like that? even that goodball malmsteen has his three fingers on the pickguard and he lives off speed wankery.
Eli Myers
I use an ampeg combo amp when I play smaller shows. It's 150w watts and gets the job done. I bought a preamp pedal to plug into the PA systems at live venues. That way I can shape my tone. I've never actually been to a show where the bassist used a cabinet set up.
Wyatt Robinson
>I've never actually been to a show where the bassist used a cabinet set up. Have fun at your coffee house open mics and high school talent shows
Blake Richardson
Can't this guy control his muscles properly?
Tyler Hill
why is this guy so popular on youtube? he seems incredibly annoying
Gabriel Wright
Looks like carl the cuck.
Jason Carter
Hello guitar faggots. I am about to upgrade from absolute plebery in terms of amps.
Tell me if this setup is good for a budget of ~600
Isn't this exactly one of those numales you guys are always going on about?
Aiden Foster
is my 150$ motherboard that good or are interfaces a meme?
Hudson Turner
The people that used to like Fred and annoying orange grew up
Leo Reyes
They're supposed to be amazing for Marshall sounds
They're the only amp that Angus Young uses besides his old Marshalls
Brayden Cox
This doesn't sound right, Wizard amps are somewhat new, only been around in any number since the mid 90s?
Lincoln Miller
I have a AC15, it sounds fine at low volume
Sounds better cranked up a bit but still sounds really good low
The tube amp is bad for bedroom amp meme comes from people wanting tons of gain to play with, most people interested in AC15s set them really clean or just a bit of dirt in them
Tube amps only suffer at low volume when you power amp overdrive and compression to go a long with the pre amp overdrive, pre amp overdrive on its own is what sounds kind of buzzy or thin, the clang and singing sound is from the power amp ODing
Luis Bell
I don't think he's a numale really just a straight up annoying corny faggot
How do you strum like this? I assume he's using his palm but I can't seem to replicate it at all
Wyatt Wood
begins at 1:20.
Wyatt Moore
I just checked the prices cause I never heard of them....GOT DAMN, if i wanted a full stack I could easily spend 9 grand, that's slightly less than I paid for a house at auction.
Thomas Cooper
4500 for a head...that is kinda nuts but he has a name/brand from AC/DC so there you go
You can get a real 70s Marshall JMP head for around $1000
I bought a 1974 "1987" JMP for $650 off CL about 5 years ago. It was the most glorious sounding amp I ever had. It looked like it had been through out of the back of a truck on the interstate. it made my whole house smell like weed when I turned it on.
Christopher Phillips
What are you gents doing this(or next) weekend music related? I've got a wedding ceremoney to play for this coming Saturday, feeling confident. Perhaps a little nervous given it's the midwest outside in December, and it's my first one.
This coming wednesday I'm going to practice a bit with a guy who can actually sing and come up with melodies(I am not a clever man, just good at performing), so that's hopeful to become something.
Nicholas Perez
Band is recording an album. Pretty excited.
Caleb Green
It's not that different from normal strumming. He's using mostly his thumb and just his index fingernail, but you can easily get that sound with normal strumming. The subtleties come from the dynamics and lefthand muting
Cooper Watson
nothing. I miss gigging even though it was just a pub circuit
checked out the ads for drummers wanted in my area and it's all middle aged men cover bands. don't know where to find other musicians 2bh
Joshua Evans
too many normie guitarists out there
Hunter Watson
Why is subtle delay used so much more often on distorted leads rather than subtle reverb? I prefer reverb
Liam Smith
reverb is a subtle delay you tard
Grayson Murphy
Local College/Uni may be a good place.
Jonathan Thomas
reverb can be a subtle delay you tard
Blake Flores
that's mostly due to the extensive history of double tracking as a form of highlighting leads (instrumental or vocal) in popular music. short subtle delay is the bold text of recorded music
Charles James
Your mom can be a subtle delay
Christopher Peterson
reverb is not a delay delay is not reverb
reverb is a reflection of infinite sound waves over time delay is distinct repetition of a sound, usually in a finite number
what kind of music are you thinking of?
I'd say its more often to have reverb on a signal with no delay than a signal with delay and no reverb
Brody Thompson
>reverb is not a delay >delay is not reverb >reverb is a reflection of infinite sound waves over time >delay is distinct repetition of a sound, usually in a finite number Incorrect. reverb is a delay with a very sort delay time, which we perceive as reverb instead of echo
Josiah Robinson
no it isn't.
Delay is a repeat of a recorded sound, reverb is a reflection of the initial sound.
There is no recording and repeat with reverb.
Ian Robinson
he keeps the guitarists with AD/HD happy with his over expressions proves my point
Nathaniel Ortiz
>reverb is a reflection of the initial sound. Which is a repeat >There is no recording and repeat with reverb Nothing is recorded with an echo either.
Brandon Mitchell
Because a subtle delay is far better at masking your lack of skill than a subtle reverb.
Ian Nguyen
Bowing, as in curved? Or the neck is straight but at an upward angle relative to the body?
If first, that's tricky. Could be broken or somehow dislodged truss rod. Maybe warped neck. Probably need new neck.
If second, it maybe just need a shim or a little bit of routing at the connection between neck and body. This is much easier to fix and shouldn't cost too much to have done.
William Davis
Reverb and Delay are different technically.
Reverb is indistinct blended repetitions of sound occuring 30 milliseconds apart after the initial sound is made.
Echo or Delay is distinct repetitions of a sound more than 30 milliseconds after the sound is made
Evan Wright
Sick guitar! Is that some sort of Telecaster??
Angel Lewis
As I said, Reverb and Echo are both types of Delays, which differ depending on delay time.
