FUCK OFF ROMAN

Post overrated guitar models that sound like shit

I'll post this on the new thread
Recently I acquired a fender start. And everything is great, but there is this little thing that ticks me. I would like to have the tremolo arm set up in a way that it is loose enough to flop down when I release it, but there is no wobbliness when using it. Is there a solution for this? On the internet I've only seen people talking about how to make the arm stay put in the position where you want it, which doesn't help me at all.

>tfw only a Gibson™ is good enough
>tfw poorfa/gg/s will never know this feel

is there a guitar that sounds like a telecaster but isnt ugly as shit?

Yes, a Telecaster

>Telecaster
>Ugly

Take that back

is there a whore who fucks like your mom but isn't ugly as shit?

no and thats why shes special

>special
well that explains you then

go back to playing your ugly telecaster made by beaners

rather go back to your moms specialty desu

your mom blew her jism breath on me at birth and made me retarded and now I can't play guitar anymore or legally drive

- j mascis (j is for jism)

A Fender Telecaster

>can't play guitar anymore
>*professionally play guitar all over the world*
sorry everyone side effect of the jism breath

Yes, I think there is a spring that you can get. Failing that, just use a piece of paper or something?
Tremolo arm tension spring

Is there any worse guitar brand than Chapman?

They are not only ugly, but cheap pieces of shit. Why would anyone in their right mind buy one?

can't afford one huh? kek

They're cheap garbage. Everything about them is shit.
Anyone I've ever seen play one is a neckbeard

...

>Frusciante's surgically reconstructed and enhanced face
Don't do drugs, folks

That being said, why is the riff for Can't Stop so fun to play?

because it's froosh, god of /gg/.

Reading the bible is a positive thing, I'm sure you can incorporate some of the stories into your shitposting. Swing the jud/gg/emental hammer.

It's not an addiction, it's your crusade, what you were born to do.

WHY THE FUCK IS THE AJFA TONE SO HARD TO RECREATE FOR FUCKS SAKE

Okay, you start.

Man, I actually like Telecasters but that is one ugly guitar.

Even with all of Amplitube 4, I can't come close.

vocaroo.com/i/s1PbNUsAFisS

But won't that make the arm stay in place instead of drop when I release? Usually every person I saw talking about the tape or the spring was to make it stay in place. I will try it still

What's a good affordable bass for someone who prefers playing with picks

Guys
How does change Alien amp choobs?
How does the I shoves fuse in dick?
Halp Pl0x?

reverb.com/item/4300019-ibanez-srx2-ex2-white?

...

I like SGs better, personally.

Overrated? Maybe. Overprice? Yes buy a studio. Sounds like shit? Absolutely not.

It sounds like the spring is missing. They come with springs but most people lose it. Just get the part, they're like $2.

I bought a LP studio and I regret nothing

being a bass player, I would never reccomend a bass VI for a beginner

buy some cheap, used yamaha bass and start playing with that
also, try experimenting different play styles, not just using a pick

>being a bass player
So you mean "being a retard" by that?

He wanted a bass meant for a pick, so I suggested a guitar tuned an octave lower(if you knew theory this would put it in the same range as a bass).

Lrn2read

>He wanted a bass meant for a pick
>bass for someone who prefers playing with picks
That totally not what he said.
This however is good advice.

maybe you misread

he wants a bass, and there are plenty of 4 strings, 5 strings and even 6 strings that are not bass guitars made for guitar players who don't want to bother having a real instrument
matter of fact, the bass VI is usually used inside a studio rather than playing live because, well, it's not a proper bass

there's plenty of other options
and there's no such thing as "a bass meant for a pick"

>bassist with inflated self importance
You can't make this shit up.

talking out of your ass: the post

Is Jazzmaster/Jaguar better than Strat/Tele?

>BETTER

Well i mean, it's all subjective, im just asking for your opinions

when do you sleep

If a tab says to slide from nothing to 7 what am I supposed to do?

fresh upload amigos
soundcloud.com/samuelcfaria/doncha-hesitate-cover

i have an inconsistent sleeping pattern

slide from nothing to 7

what the fuck does that mean

fuck off samuel

slide from a random note just to create a sliding sound

It means the note you start from doesn't matter that much, just start somewhere lower than 7 and end on 7. The important part is the sound of the slide itself, there shouldn't be a specific starting note heard

alright thanks

can slide down also

thinking of tweaking my bass a bit. If i put a guitar pickup into a 4 string bass guitar, will that sound crap or? anyone tried??

>being a bass player, I would never reccomend a bass VI for a beginner
It's not for a beginner, and it's neither a guitar nor a true bass.

>so I suggested a guitar tuned an octave lower(if you knew theory this would put it in the same range as a bass).

Stop, it's a bass, it's always been considered a bass, it has thicker strings than a guitar and it's played an octave lower.

>matter of fact, the bass VI is usually used inside a studio rather than playing live because, well, it's not a proper bass

Fender VI is an instrument for real musicians. It's not just a studio instrument but it's not a replacement for bass or guitar, it's a niche instrument that has its purpose and its own distinctive sound.

Don't even fuck with the idea of getting a Fender VI unless you know what you want from it, which would probably be something like The Cure's sound.

>Is Jazzmaster/Jaguar better than Strat/Tele?
No.

>If i put a guitar pickup into a 4 string bass guitar, will that sound crap or?
i think thes no special sound to achieve by doing that

lol is this a bass?

It's not a baritone guitar either, baritones usually have thinner strings than the Fender VI, though the Fender VI can be played as a baritone with lighter strings and a different tuning, some models were in fact marketed as baritones.

yes thats a bass, just a different type of bass

>nice numbers

Yeah I'm aware of that, however my bass pickups are cheapos, and I do have a nice guitar pickup to spare. I'm just concerned that it might sound completely off, u know cus its designed to pickup 6 thin strings instead of 4 thick ones. Not looking to achieve anything special, just a decent bass tone.

I like x; you like y. X = patrician; y= plebian. That settles that. You are Hitler.

This has been fun.

Gonna sound like shit bud.

>Plays bass in my church's worship band
>mostly play Christian radio pop songs
>always bring heavy, melodic bass lines that don't just follow the root notes
>nobody notices or cares because people think it's bad to groove at church

feels bad man, but atleast I get to play In front of 400+ people.

Is this okay? feels a bit high boys

You play in a praise band for self gratification, desu? This bodes ill for the condition of your soul. Discover humility before it's too late!

Thats not mess btw, thats tone debris

Nice tone debris man.

Had a Studio for years. Got the cash for a Traditional, went to the guitar shop. Played around, bought another Studio and turned the extra cash into a 5150 and a new interface.

I regret nothing. $1000 for what is essentially a binding is stupid. Both of my studios have trapezoidal too, ez

I'd rather buy a good guitar by a good luthier instead of some factory shit pumped out and then marked up to a laughable price for what it is.

I hope you guys play more than just blues licks.

You don't just play on pentatonic scale 99% of the time, riiiighhht???

I've been covering some muse/radiohead songs so a lot of effect, unusual tuning and strange chords

what's a pentatonic scale

It's the "blues scale"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonic_scale

I don't even play leads, usually they're boring and they suck.

Most people here don't know scales, since "theory limits creativity" or whatecer bullshit they're spewing this month to cover for their laziness.

If you actually follow the rules of classical composition, theory does limit your creativity.

if you learn scales and you are scared to ever go out of scale, this is another cases where theory can limit you.

>I'd rather buy a good guitar
>I'd rather
Poorfa/gg/™ acting like he can afford a custom guitar, let alone a quality Gibson™.

Oh, that

(I don't really like playing blues, and it's too difficult for me yet so)

Yeah, I'm fucking lazy. I played since I was a kid but I never really bothered learning how to read music, so now I'm stuck with learning everything by ear and tabs

it sucks because I know I could be a much better musician, but it's just too much of a overwhelming idea for me

I can play bach on the piano but I can't read music shit

>so now I'm stuck with learning everything by ear
If you can't write or improvise by ear you're a shit musician anyways.

I know some music theory, and i never use it for my compositions. i rely on my imagination for composition

Yeah but you're on another level bro, i remember that one song you posted months back and it was incredible.

t...thanks

>let's take a utilitarian design and give it a carved top, stained wood, and add some comfort to the cutaway
they didn't even do one of the best telecaster mods to it, jesus christ.

>defending mass produced overpriced planks of wood

musicians who can't break the mold are either not musicians, in orchestras or teaching.

true, but that's like the basis of playing an instrument

I "write" my songs, but I usually just record them right away when I find a nice sound
I have terrible memory for me it's easier this way instead of writing down notes and chords
well chords not really, I usually write them down somewhere

but then again, it's all about leaving your comfort zone

Playing without an amp is annoying

Seriously, it's lame that everyone shit on it because of who you are as a person, but that's music these days.

To you maybe, I'm positive you playing with an amp is much more annoying to everyone around you.
