why does a bass only have 4 strings?
cause bassists can only count to 4!

Second for Japanese made LPs with P90s.

Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.

If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.

Be wary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.

Have a nice day.

Post pictures of guitarist looking effortlessly cool

Is there much of an improvement between a 2010 prs se and a 2015 prs se? I bought a 2010 used from guitar center for 420 in red but I found a 2015 prs se in blue with a floyd rose used for 550. I'd much prefer the blue over the red and I wouldn't mind have a floyd but I'm wondering if the electronics or build qaulity is better? I'm thinking about upgrading the pick ups anyways so it would be the electronics besides the pick ups.

The prs se from guitar center also has issues. I can't get the truss rod nut to tighten enough to actuall straighten out the neck. The pick ups are slanted inwards for some reason as well.

...

>I can smell the guitar cases from here

...

you'll still be the same shit player regardless of what guitar you use so what does it matter

...

my mom wont buy me an ibanez until i up my school grades!!! bitch!

i just wanna play metal ahhhhg i can't do it on my stupid strat

holy shiet that is one sweet looking parlor, are those steel strings or nylon? either way I bet it sounds great, looks amazing as well.

I hope your situation improves user-kun

This could be good bait, but its still needs a little work

Speak for yourself.

>my mom wont buy me

What do you guys think of this?

way too obvious m8

Who is pete?

must know progressions?

a fag

holy kek

A -> C -> G -> D

the harmonic minor scale? pretty cool

Anything with Em sounds cool
C G D are pretty commonly used though

...

based grimeth

girls can't actually play guitar this has been proven time and time again

I been playing the bass for a few months now, and there isn't a pedal thread up, so what should babbys first pedal be? My price range is $50-$75.

>and there isn't a pedal thread up
Can't tell if this is a joke, did /pg/ goo to far? FUZZ

based duo sonic

...

>Can't tell if this is a joke

It's not

> did /pg/ goo to far?

there isn't a /pg/ up right now

>FUZZ

Which one? Like I said I have a money constraint. Are used pedals usually a safe bet?

Delux big muff bass

/pg/ when?

why did you choose to play retard guitar instead of normal guitar?
serious question

oh wow

Yes, I'll make the power transformers general. /ptg/

Second hand is completely fine, buy from a store, test it first, if it breaks you normally get a warranty, check with them first

if you want to sound like a snot-nosed kid trying out guitars on saturday morning in a guitar store, get a fuzz

if you want to actually sound good, get a compressor

>Delux big muff bass

This isn't in my price range and I can't find one used anywhere. Is it worth saving up for?

Here we go

>why did you choose to play retard guitar instead of normal guitar?
>serious question

Every dipshit and his brother plays guitar, and I like low end sound.

>oh wow
What did he mean by this?

>Second hand is completely fine, buy from a store, test it first, if it breaks you normally get a warranty, check with them first
thanks m8

>if you want to sound like a snot-nosed kid trying out guitars on saturday morning in a guitar store, get a fuzz
>if you want to actually sound good, get a compressor
any recommendations?

...

Pete's a fucking faggot and you're only encouraging it by doing stupid shit like this

Definitely, the DOD meatbox is pretty cool to, pretty out of your budget, but just recommending bass pedals I think are cool

GET IN HERE LADS

WE /ptg/ NOW

yeah but when you learn guitar you are also learning how to play bass

learning bass does not transition into playing guitar
you're only doing yourself a dis-favour

why do you think everyone plays guitar other than bass, hmm maybe because it's vastly superior?
use your fucking brain retard

How can I improve my lead work?

I've gotten really into The Smiths and Johnny Marr's style especially, and I tried to work some of it into my own playing but I'm a shitter and can only play chords/rhythm guitar.

Do I just pick song/riff of my choice and play it slowly until I can improve and play it quicker?

Ashdown do some nice bass compressor pedals, bit pricey though.

Thing with compressors is they add polish to a good sound. With a cheap bass and a crappy amp you won't hear much difference.

hey remember the time like 8 threads ago you posted this along with retarded objectively wrong shit

fuck off, you probably believe in tonewood

Please ask in /lgg/ - Lead Guitar General.

try playing faster

is this bait?

>yeah but when you learn guitar you are also learning how to play bass

I know you're a baiting mongoloid, but every good bass player can spot a guitarist trying to play bass from a mile away

/gg/ if you ever have to fill in as bassist for a gig learn how to properly play one instead of playing like a fucking stooge and embarrassing yourself

...

BASSPLAYERBUTTBOMBARDED

no

this guy posts the same ugly slut and the same stupid shit every time, but a few threads ago he posted it along with greentexting facts like they were wrong

...

>playing like a fucking stooge
unfair

this has to be bait, if not, it's pasta, he's/they've been doing it for ages, welcome to 4chin.

Name my band general when?

>tfw no genres/bands that combine guitar and electronic music in interesting ways other than Sweet Trip and that one Boards of Canada album
I love playing/hearing guitars and I love weird laptop production stuff but I just wish I could have both :(

...

I said interesting

...

>you will never make an album with grimeth
end me

I like to stick to 3 note per string shapes or at least do the 2-note-on-one-string part on the G string consistently.

Anyone? I'm getting concerned that there is something seriously wrong with this truss rod. It won't tighten at all and I can see that there are still threads for this to go down on. The pick ups are also slanted inwards for some reason. I also found a prs se tremonti with a vintage tremolo for 447 woth 44 shipping that I could get instead or a se custom with a floyd for 497 with 20 shipping.

god she's disgusting

i will end you

There was white wax around the nut that might have been what the previous owner did to fuck it up so bad.
