Who else counting down to christmas. I bought my own presents because allowing your wife to buy for a hobby that requires actual knowledge of the gear is never a good idea. I have to wait for christmas to get it though,
James Watson
can anyone recommenda newfag a pedal for metal bass? i did a little research and was considering a fuzz, overdrive or distortion.
Ryan Campbell
Aight so I've got a cheap shit bbe fuzz pedal th sounds shit with any reverb or delay, WHICH IS TERRIBLE because the only other pedals I have are a digitech delay and a dl4. I use the overdrive on my peavey classic 30 amp but that ain't cutting it plz no laff
So I got $300 amazon bucks. Thinking about getting a fulltone OCD bc at this point it's a meme that seems real and fuck I'm falling for it.
Also thinking about getting a zvex fat fuzz factory.
Am I stupid for comboing these two? Or should I switch the fuzz factory with a EH soul food?
Eberhard Weber, check out his albums pendulum and silent feet

>Acoustic instruments
No one denies tonewoods make a difference on acoustic instruments.
It's electric guitars where the difference is negligible.
Also listen to the only playable Stradivarius guitar
Lucas Bailey
What guitar did you start with? I started with a fender squire strat
Carter Perry
Any of you know anything about wiring?
Looking to re-wire my deluxe strat to the g&l PTB system but I want to keep the s1 switch for going between series and parallel.
Any clue how it would be done?
Levi Campbell
Science proves "wood changes as it gets old" and "stradivari used some mineral treatment". Nothing to do with how that changes the sound precisely. Nothing to do either with the tonewood debate on electrical guitars. The article is also particularily subjective and draws conclusions out of nowhere, the study itself is much more objective.
Can anyone tell me about the brand "stadium" for electric guitars? Pic related. From what I can see, it has a three tone sunburst body, red tortoise shell pick guard, white knobs, unknown material for the pickups, tremolo style bridge, a vintage tint gloss 1 piece maple neck & fretboard, with Grover brand name tuners. I bought this guitar in 2010 from a small time shop - aside from what I've shared I know else about it. Thanks

>In their current state, maples in Stradivari violins have very different chemical properties compared with their modern counterparts, likely due to the combined effects of aging, chemical treatments, and vibrations. That has nothing to do with even the tonal proprieties of the wood even, we're just looking at the cell walls and how different they are between shavings from a recent piece of maple and shavings from stradivari.
Building two almost identical acoustic guitars with different woods proves wood has an influence on the sound. Not this study, it's comparing maple against maple for christ's sake
Caleb Bennett
Random asian strat knock off, probably from a factory's over stock or they got in trouble with fender and they "stopped" but really just changed names.
Xavier Stewart
Yeah in other words tone wood is real
Brayden Edwards
Thanks - a few more questions for you if you don't mind. Do you happen to know this style is knocking off? E.g. 60s, vintage modified, etc. Also, is this a guitar to gig with or just a bedroom player in your opinion?
Jace Foster
just try and build on them. for example, you can use the first riff as the intro, use the second riff as a main riff and the verse, then find some chords that work for a pre-chorus and chorus, repeat the first part then maybe come back to the first riff, do a guitar solo, go back to the chorus after the solo and end on the first or second riff.
it's just a matter of experimentation, listening to music to understand the structures of songs and practice, songwriting is like anything else that needs to be practiced.
also the second riff is kind of drawn out, make it shorter and more to the point like the first riff
Jason Cruz
OCD is a very good overdrive pedal. Nearly everything Mike Fuller makes is a solid and useful pedal. and his TTE (tube tape echo) is one of the best echoplex style delays ever made.
The Zvex fuzz factory would be my choice over the EH soul food. the fuzz factory is a LOT of fun, and you can spend days just exploring the various textures and tones you can get from that fuzz.
ps; Peavy Classic 30 is a decent amp - I could gig with one of those anytime, and HAVE gigged with them when they showed up as backline amps. it's a better amp than most of the under $300 stuff at GC or Sam Ash....
I bought a Tubescreamer (old Maxon OD-9 with some desirable chip) and couldn't believe I didn't buy one sooner. I use OD, distortion, and fuzz for different purposes, sometimes stacking. My fuzz an NYC Big Muff Pi. I don't need anything else out of an OD or a fuzz, the ones I have do their jobs perfectly.
Isaiah Watson
Who /flatwound/ string here?
William Price
terrible volume knob location and stupid belly cut. Every time I think I want one, I remember that.
Isaiah Foster
looks like the guitar a dolphin would play
Jordan Phillips
Does anyone have reccomendations for catalinbread pedals? I have a credit i need to use for a store that has their whole line.
Me. Bassist. Much better tone. I don't like the standard roundwound sound on bass at all.
Also i think if you ever plan to use a pick you should use flats always for that application. For slap a lot of people like round steels for the clear POP sound, but i think the thunky sound of slap on flats is underrated. It's much more percussive and less obnoxiously uh, zingy, in a full band mix.
Landon Murphy
Get a load of this meme
Aiden Roberts
>im gonna add a voltage starve and gate to this fuzz face xd >im gonna add a low pass filter to this fuzz face ecks dee xd >pay me 350 bucks for them u fag
I like ZVex and all but he might as well change his name to Zachary Vexberg.
Jordan Bennett
I feel you. I'm in an alternative band. I usually use flats for recording purposes. But in the live setting, I like the punch and zingyness. Cuts through a bit more and gives more of a hit. But I've always been the type that believes that a live show should sound different than what it does on the CD, you know?
Are hofner basses meme machines? What about the epiphone version of the violin bass? My friend is playing an acoustic show and wants me to come play with him. But I ain't about to use an acoustic bass.
the one in the photo isn't listed there you dip :^)
Hunter Murphy
what's /gg/s thoughts on Canadian guitars? Godin does a lot of the pre assembly work for martin guitars while also making some beautiful guitars themselves.
they also make Simon & Patrick Guitars, Art & Lutherie, Seagull, Richmond, and Norman.
Other Canadian makers Sparrow - (defunct) DADDY MOJO
Mason Barnes
my friend has an Art & Lutherie parlor and it sucks ass. Maybe they didn't take care of it but it seems expensive while still playing and sounding like ass.
The Godin jazz boxes look nice.but their solid bodies are pretty tacky
Elijah Evans
ha
Jack Wilson
I was having problems with mine till I got religious about humidifying.
don't know if all solid wood acoustic guitars are temperamental about that, but my Simon & Patrick sure is
Michael Richardson
I miss all the mental generals.
Bentley Nelson
somebody knows about youtube channel/book/ whatever on ergonomy and basic stuff? I feel I'm gettin stuck for doing wrong basic stuff like sitting up properly, holding the guitar or the pic and so, but when you search for something everything is about how to play the guitar.
you're weak as fuck if you think that's cringy, aside from the terrible taste and tone, the playing's not that bad, there are plenty of terrifyingly garbage videos of people playing like shit on bc rich.

I've never played a Hofner but i will say semi-hollow basses are worthwhile to look in to if you want that kind of sound.
Julian King

tf were you thinking?
Carter Reyes
>any boss pedal that isn't the fender reverb
Cooper Morgan
>expecting quality control from Gibson
That is actually one of the better tops I've seen from modern Gibson
Jayden Morales
my boss ds2 does the coolest controlled feedback thing. It's pretty great and I haven't found another pedal that drives into pretty harmonic feedback like that when I walk towards my amp.
Gabriel Adams
What amp do you have? I never understand people buying distortion pedals.. much rather put my money into a decent head than buy stompbox distortion. The only pedals I use are Tuner, Delay, and Noise Suppressor
I have a few boss pedals I love, get over yourself
Hudson Nguyen
Because there's a pretty big difference between buying a $100-200 pedal than a $1000+ tube head, user.
Not that I disagree with you, I'd get my Marshall Super Bass or Orange head ASAP if I had the money, but still.
Anthony Hernandez
What brands make pointy or deep carved basses? All I can find are round cornered and smoothed edged
Owen Foster
>Tfw my quilt top Epi is better almost identical on both sides.
You fucking retards waste 2000 bucks just to have your guitar setup in the factory.
Justin Cruz
When was the last time Gibson had good qc?
Christian Wood
Guys I need a red tortoise shell p bass pickguard for my MIM P bass - I'm trying to recreate the James Jamerson bass guitar. All I'm seeing are these "brown/red" tort guards, not just straight red. Does anyone know where I can find a straight red one? Thanks.
Michael Peterson
Some will argue 80's, some will argue 70's but it's universally agreed that 90's and onwards are garbage.
Christian Martin
I thought the norlin guitars were supposed to be trash?
Alexander Phillips
how 2 git stretchy fingers?
Easton Gonzalez
pre norlin, and thats it.
you're just as good buying a high end epi custom and replacing the pots and pups as you are buying an actual standard. that is the frequency of a well made instrument is that shitty between the two
Ian Price
oh, and id like to add. if you want a real gibson now you could buy a heritage. yea the headstock is pretty ugly but they are very nice instruments
Charles Walker
>not a glorious nip copy with correct headstock
Lucas Miller
Jeff Berlin is one of the best soloists around. His songs are meh, but if you want to get better at soloing his stuff is great.
John Jackson
Compression pedal, if you have this then buy a darkglass b3k/7k.
Hunter Collins
Maybe it's not metal enough, but I like the sound of a bass with an envelope filter.
And every single guitar that comes out their factory is QC'd by the owner of the company and not some minimum wage hombre.
Isaiah Morris
>that bow and smirk
wow
Oliver Green
Anyone playing music over the holidays? >aint no work round here for a guitar man
Camden Howard
How do I get better at playing and singing at the same time? I can do simple rhythms but anything more complicated than that fucks me up. Even stuff I could play in my sleep is difficult. The weird thing is, a more complex chord progression doesn't give me any problems if its rhythm is consistent.
Carson King
How much money am I going to have to spend on speakers to set up a decent sounding virtual amp with bias or amplitube. I only have a 100 buck 2.1 system on my desktop right now and it doesn't sound great.
Easton Cox
He should've done this on the neck pickup.
Cameron Sullivan
