Got a whammy, feels kinda weird on the board though. More comfortable on the floor.

Squier Deluxe Strat or Squier Vintage Modified Surf Strat?

Or build a super Squier?

Nice Geiger counter, do you use it often?

And yeah the whammy is fucking massive, also extremely ugly imo.

Get a classic vibe

Love the Digidelay! The DD-7 I use now is somehow inferior, and as I recall the Digitech was just like $60 back in '04

VM always

Probably feel better placed closer to the front of the board.

Yes, I'm phasing out my big muff with it
Issue is I can't reach the back row, thinking maybe a block of wood behind it will raise the synth9 so I can hit it.
One of my favourites and earliest pedals, didn't appreciate it's reverse and glitch until much later.

This

fellas I want a cheap but nice bass, any suggestions before I go hunting?

I suggest you play a real instrument. Maybe your parents will pitch in for a kazoo.

What kind of music are you looking to play?

I already own 2 guitars

HE SAID A REAL INSTRUMENT

Mostly rock/punk stuff I guess? Not really into the funky jazz side of bass

Guns of Brixton, Joy Division. Basslines like that

Get a p-bass of any sorts literally. Used vintage modified would be great. But basically yeah any p-bass.

I got myself an old Japanese Squier bass for like 200 bucks. I suggest you try to find something similar as they are very high quality and sound great

thanks lads, appreciate it

...

Jazz or Precision styled bass is the way to go for simple yet reliable.
That said, ESP LTD and Ibanez Soundgear lines are excellent for the price if you're looking for 5 and 6 strings.

Soundgears are basic bitch Stacy of basses. They all sound the fucking same, zero character, very plastic, modern and hifi. Tiny necks however. Pretty much the equivalent of Ibanez electric guitars, verbatim. And they won't nail that 80s bass tone either.

Get a P-bass for P-bass stuff. And this comes from a guy who has an Ibanez, BTB but still an Ibanez.

Big muff, rat, ds1, tubescreamer, or OCD?

my.mixtape.moe/nbmyec.mp3
why this so godamm good

Why do all brands deliver new guitars with strings already on? Wouldn't it better if they came with the strings sealed instead so they won't go bad during transportation?

Epiphone Thunderbird iv, unless you are small in stature. If you are small just stick with some kind of P-Bass as previously directed.

Rat and TS9. If have to choose between these two go Rat for all purpose utility

How should I set up my pedalboard?
What should go first and what should be last?
(I'm talking in terms of effects what should go first and what should go last, to clarify).

Tell us what you've got and we will organize it

the tension is necessary for the neck to remain in position

Boss DS-1 Distortion
MXR Phase 90
Joyo Analog Delay
Earthquaker Hoof
Earthquaker Arpenoid
Joyo California Sound

phaser>od>distortion>mod>delay

you can put the phaser after the dist but a dirty phase is sexier than a clean phase over a distortion imo

squier PJ bass
>cheap
>versatile
>comfy

...

The more you post that picture, the uglier it gets.

the gear of a pegboy

Nope, it's the same pic

A what?

A boy who enjoys being pegged, presumably.

...

That reminds me, what ever happened to that LTD (le thick dildo) user? He ever come back and show off his guitars and dildos?

BLUES BACKING TRACK AS WARMUP LAST 2 DIGITS OF POST IS LETTER UNLESS OVER THEN JUST LAST DIGIT IS LETTER.

>not writing an 86 verse fantasy ballad as a warmup

I heard he plays a jcm 900 now.

Never heard of an 86 verse fantasy ballad.

Bandwagonning faggots

>hey this isn't so bad

>start having fun

IM PUKING

Big Muff, and get the big one unless you are a pussy ass bitch

Good

We can all agree that the J Mascis Jazzmaster is the best bang for your buck out of any entry level electric guitar, right?

I'll give my vote to Reverend guitars.

Bass will do that to ya. I've been playing 3 years now and I've practically got no nerves left in my fingers, but even just a few weeks ago my fingers were hurting after I got particularly carried away with sliding up and down the fretboard.

Spotted one of these puppies on eBay for 50 eurobucks and pounced on it. Good or bad move?

Also this is my first pedal so far, what else do I need to round out my pedalboard? So far I'm looking at getting a delay, an octave, an envelope filter and a bit crusher (for that extra spice).

>buy Gibson
>a sticker on the fretboard actually says "Only a Gibson™ is good enough"

And how right they are...oh wow.

What is this besides shit? Genre wise?
vocaroo.com/i/s06UHjAoslcL

I agree. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, feels awesome. What more can you want?

How about not looking like a soy faggot?

you need to let your notes ring more. That aside, sounds a little surf-rocky with the tremolo picking

wild wild west spider

Dont mind me...only being best girl while also being main protagonist.

That god-awful f-hole

>no you stupid ass I'm not gay
idk sounds pretty defensive and insecure to me...

>Dog toy

So, a god dick shaped dildo?

Kinky

That's why they call him Le Thick Dildo man

Goddamn this is some Sup Forums type of faggotry.
Oh well user at least your guitar looks good.

Man I wish I got to see Rush before they retired.

I know, is almost as gay as being a tripfag. Maybe they should start a band. The Dildaroos. They already wrote their first song: vocaroo.com/i/s06UHjAoslcL

HEY GUYS CAN YOU GUESS THIS SONG?
Sorry for shit audio quality

>i'm not gay, THEY are, amirite?
sssssssure user, whatever you want

>SSH

Is this b8? It's HSS M80.

Technically youre right

I like my slick. Pic related.

uguu~

Any of you playing telecaster into a Vox?
What kind of fuzzes sound good? Either into a cooked Vox or clean.

big muff is allways the answer. Death By Audio pedals are fucking sick too.

>telecaster into a Vox
you are doing it wrong get a godamn brian may signature guitar soy.

So many variations of the big muff, don't even know where to start looking

a phallic dog toy you shove up your arse?

But Brian May also played a tele into his vox.

Tele and Vox is a classic combo

I was jamming at open mic night, playing drums and improvising vocals about potato chips. There was literally nobody who stayed late except for this one bassist and the guy who organized the event.

later we did a cover of Romantic Rights (we only knew the chorus) and this lady who works in the cafeteria walked in and told us it was the nicest song she'd heard all day!

>come here baby I love your company
>we could do it and start a family
>she was living alone un/andhappily
>come here baby uhh, romantic rights!

She was like, "I work in retail dining downstairs and that was the nicest song I've heard all day."

the power of satan is real, elephant mating calls are real, holy shit guys!

Lads, what pedals are you getting this xmas.

My dad always gets me a new pedal every year, even though im 30.

Tone City Golden Plexi for me this year. I always feel bad asking for an expensive pedal, so a £40 pedal will be a nice addition until the new year when I add something from OBN or Walrus

>people especially women need high test music
No shit thats why music sucks nowadays. Buncha pansy soyboys with offsets and teles.

thats shop´d i can tell by that pixel over there and by id quite a few shops in my life.

I need to really get my 10 band eq and carbon copy this year.

Post reliable gear.

>Pic related.
Got a standard C40 for €50 nearly a decade ago now and it still sounds super decent. I'm actually using it a lot more than my €300 Takamine...

Ive left gf at least a million hints I want an Epiphone Explorer (Korina) for Christmas.

Im pretty sure she will get upsold some random piece of shit or ill end up with a BC Rich thats pointy.

Would you condemn a guitar to be jazzbox if you put 12-52 chrome strings on and don't intend on playing surfrock? I'm currently sporting 10-52 pure nickel strings but the plain strings are still too sharp for me even eq tweaked.

I don't own any physical pedals but so far I've been using Logic and a USB interface with my macbook. I was thinking, if I got one of these and took out the keyboard, I'd have a really compact way to basically get any sound I wanted. It'd just be the tablet Velcro'd to the USB interface. Not as fun as physically stomping the buttons, but I could do cooler stuff with the DAW automation.

Dean gets a bad rep but my Dean custom 550Fr plays like butter and feels like a brick. It is a great all around guitar that made me not think so bad about the insectoid koreans workmanship. Emgs sounds good too but takes some skill to make them sound more alive. Plenty of gain too. Only complaint is that the volume knob doesnt work too well with emgs. Its either full gain or 3/5ths gain. They can make great sounds on the clean channel but will not clean up well when on the dirty channel.

can we talk about mandolins here?
