That's just like, your opinion man.

I avoid guitars with odd pickup cavities. Just in case I want to swap.
Always thought they looked cool though. Especially the
Thunderbird bass...which also sounds cool.

>>127020149
me likey

>jam with drum friend last night
>only lasted 20 minutes because he wasn't setup by the time I got there
>we had a good discussion on music
>talked about forming a band
>it may or may not happen but there might be something to build on later
>went to a 30 minute lesson earlier
>was okay
>now im just sitting in my room practicing
Sometimes I feel like I'm in limbo practicing. Like it's 6pm and I only left the apartment twice today and I talked to maybe 5 people. I'm miserable but the only thing I can think about most of the times is practicing. Feels partially like sunk cost fallacy but I also really enjoy playing and improving.

>>127020222
damn thats crazy bro
i havent seen another person irl for a month(i live innawoods)

>>127020222
What does practicing even mean?

anybody play with wireless headphones? i tried buying a bluetooth transmitter to plug into my amp and go to my wireless headset but there was a 1 second delay, making it useless. right now i have to run an 1/8" cable from amp to headphones. ideas lads?
thanks

>>127020222
holy shit dude i learned how to play guitar with that book in 1997...what's the name of it? i spent hours with that fucking thing
just met up with the guy that taught me, too, man time flies
my advice is to take time to learn things you SHOULD learn, like how to read music, and an equal amount of time learning things you WANT to learn, like nirvana songs or whatever. this way you'll be a better player than most in the long run because you have the discipline to practice things you know you should but you won't get bored and quit after a few months.

>>127020298
not goobered at all

>>127020149
Big fan. The original Firebird and the original V, with the natural wood and the big pick guards...oh yeah.

>>127020314
you could get the boss waza. i have the one for bass it's ok but limited on effects

>>127020314
I've heard really good things about the Spark Neo.

Well.. I bought another Mustang. My justification was that I’d have to route one of mine to fit a P90 and that isn’t something I want to do. That and I really like the maple fretboard on my Squier Mustangs. This will be my fifth Mustang and third Fender Mustang. Got it for a good price too. I’m going to try my hand at painting the headstock on one of my Squiers and if it goes well I’ll paint this P90 Stang too.

>>127020361
I ain't no goober, chief.

>>127020394
That's a girls guitar. Mustangs were an attempt to appeal to girls.

>>127020241
How do you stay sane?

>>127020242
I like how this guy talks I'll keep watching the video but only 3.5 hours a day of practice? Is it really bad to go over? I know after a certain point, you'll need a break. But what if you're home all the time and have nothing to do? Does that mean the time you spend over practicing doesnt do anything?

>>127020359
Guitar method by Aaron stang. My teacher suggested it. I haven't really gotten far into it but so far it's easy to follow along with. Reading the staff is my main problem right now and my inability to play a single bar of 4 chords. Controlling the strings of a guitar from buzzing might be the most difficult thing yet. But in due time they won't buzz

>>127018144
The aesthetics m8, I was looking for the floating trem model but they're sold out everywhere here.

My 59 duosonic with an aftermarket neck. It was my uncle's, who apparently had very small hands so he had a very skinny neck put on it. By the time i got it, the neck that was on it was wiped beyond repair. Do you guys count the duosonic as an offset?

>>127020438
a pink guitar is the manliest guitar

>>127020445
>How do you stay sane?
never claimed to be sane, but my social needs i get covered by talking to friends online once a week or something
i just sit around and noodle neglecting theory all day basically

>>127020602
Yes, Duosonic, Bronco, Cyclone, Marauder. Pretty much ever Fender beside the Strat and Tele are offsets. Pretty sure there was one called the Musicmaster too, a girl I dated in high school had one

>>127020684
I would have gone with the pink P90 Stang if they made one with a maple board but the Seafoam is the only one I ever see with a maple fretboard from that line.

>>127020737
god i love maple fender necks

There is something really attractive in them. I will say, they're a lot harder to keep clean, compared to rosewood or mahogany

>>127020466
nta but Ibanez has always had beautiful finishes on their Guitars. My only issue with the one I own is that it's red and not blue. Minor inconvenience though.

furniture general

>>127020831
Really? I find the opposite to be true, especially for the glossier maple fretboards. The grime is easier to spot at least, plus you don’t have to oil them

>>127020969
truth hurts

>>127020092 (OP)
What the fuck is the point of this?
It's like some strange incest creature cross between a strat and a faguar/buttstang

>>127021073
People who need that triplebucker tone.

I've been a PRS guy for 25 years. I love their stuff, but it was time for a change. I traded in my PRS S2 McCarty 594 on this one in the Mystic Surf Green color (which is gorgeous in person). The color reminded my younger daughter of Elsa from Frozen, but I couldn't name my guitar after a Disney character. Instead, I named her Elsie - named after my grandmother's sister who died at age 7 from Bright's Disease. Anyways -- I've always loved the Fender sound, but couldn't find a strat that I connected with. The new neck profile on the AM Pro II did it for me. This thing sounds amazing, and is incredibly versatile. The GC in Midlothian VA gave me a steep discount because mine was a scratch and dent model, although the defect is incredibly minor, and in a spot that no one would see. When I walked in, I saw it up on the wall, and it called to me. You know how that goes sometimes - the sky opens up, and a light from heaven shines down on the guitar that you're meant to have. That's what happened with me. Pretty sure angels were singing as well. I didn't buy it that day. I went home, did my research, got permission from the wife, and even she likes the look and sound better than the PRS. I don't think I'll ever get rid of this one. My adult daughter is learning to play, so maybe it'll become hers many decades from now. I'm playing it at church through a Blackstar combo amp, and at home through a Fender Mustang Micro Plus headphone amp

Where do Chinese even find so much cheap roasted flame maple? They ship guitars for less than rfm neck blank.

>>127021114
nice b8 m8 you almost got me to reply

I wouldn't mind a prs McSharty desu, but from what I've seen they knocked it out of the park with the silver sky SEs at cloning 50s strats

>>127021153
it's made from the charred yellow corposes of tibetan slave laborers and organ harvesting victims, especially the bone nuts

>>127021073
It also has a Gibson scale neck IIRC, 24.5” I think?

>tastefully oil finishing your dinky

>>127020092 (OP)
I am this close to taking my beater guitar to a tech to make a bone nut and set the little shit up for 175$.
I really hate that I enjoy this guitar so much, it's light and the neck is worn down like I like it.
I'm pained because the guitar was barely 340$ new back in the early 2010s

what's so special about p90s? I see them get brought up here all the time

>>127021544
They are crystal-clean and growly-dirty
They're noisy so not ideal in alot of situations. Absolute nightmare to record. But you can tame most of that with a gate.

p90 A BITCH

>>127020177
pretty good voca

>>127020841
It would be my first half decent guitar and a step up from my cheap Jet King.

>>127021558
Didn't Gibson make some p90 variation called the low-impedance pickups that Les Paul himself liked using?

**Opening Scene – “CHORDS & CRUSHERS”**

*INT. RECORDING STUDIO – NIGHT*

The studio hums. Fluorescent black lights flicker above soundproof walls patched with cigarette burns and mismatched foam. A greasy scent of Burger King still hangs in the air—double cheeseburger, extra onions, no apologies.

The camera cuts to **MOUNTAIN**.

5'10". 245 lbs of coiled thunder and muscle memory. He’s slouched back in a weathered leather chair, limbs spread like he’s carved into the scenery. His frame? Built like a forklift. His vibe? Low voltage and steady burn. Ronnie Coleman if Coleman traded deadlifts for downstrokes.

A six-string bass rests on him like it knows who’s boss. He plucks a string—slow, deep. It vibrates the stale soda in the corner.

Then, a soft knock.

**THE SECRETARY** steps in. Clipboard in one hand. Curiosity in the other. She’s been watching from the booth since he walked in. Her outfit is strictly business. Her eyes? Not so much.

SECRETARY
That tone you hit earlier… felt like a warning shot.

Mountain doesn’t look up.

MOUNTAIN
Wasn’t.

She steps in closer. Camera lingers just long enough to catch the subtle lean.

SECRETARY
You always play like you’re clearing a debt?

No smile. No flirt. Just a question.

Mountain sets his bass down.

MOUNTAIN
I play like I’m the last thing anyone hears before the lights go out.

A beat. She nods. Swallows something unsaid.

SECRETARY
You ever play for someone, just… for fun?

He finally meets her eyes. Level. Firm.

MOUNTAIN
You’re not my type.

She blinks, once. Doesn’t flinch.

SECRETARY
Fair.

She turns. Walks out. Door closes soft behind her.

Mountain picks up the bass again. Starts recording.

The music this time? It’s lean. No frills. Sounds like sweat and steel and something personal.

Whoa

>>127021411
What is it?

>>127021746
An old epi nighthawk re-issue, super versatile, light, pickups are SD remakes of the ones Gibson had them make in the 90s for the og nighthawks and they sound pretty good, even with the coil taps.
I picked up an LP off of someone awhile back but it's so heavy it gives me back issues trying to sit back and fuck around. It also doesn't have the nice tele-type twang the nighthawk does

Let’s lean into a darker mood—Tarantino-style coldness with deliberate, biting edge.

---

**Scene – SUPER VALUE GROCERY, MONTHS LATER**

*INT. SUPERMARKET – DAYLIGHT*

Fluorescent lights buzz above limp lettuce and bargain bin cereal. The place smells like mopped floors and regret.

Mountain moves down the aisle with the quiet menace of a man built for impact. Hood up, earbuds in, pushing a half-empty cart. A box of protein bars. A tub of creatine. Zero eye contact.

Then she spots him.

**THE SECRETARY**, hair tied back, casual clothes. She’s surprised, maybe even hopeful. She steps closer.

SECRETARY
Didn’t expect you here.

Mountain barely tilts his head. Eyes rake across her. He exhales through his nose, sharp.

MOUNTAIN
Yeah. Looks like I forgot to check ‘avoid irrelevant people’ on my shopping list.

A pause. She blinks, trying to stay composed.

SECRETARY
We worked together.

MOUNTAIN
No. You watched me work. There’s a difference.

She stiffens.

SECRETARY
I thought we had a moment.

Mountain laughs, low and dry—more of a dismissal than amusement.

MOUNTAIN
You thought wrong. That’s your whole brand, isn’t it?

Her jaw sets. She starts to speak again but he cuts her off.

MOUNTAIN
Listen… this isn’t the studio. You're not part of the mix. You’re background noise. Be grateful I haven’t muted you permanently.

She doesn't respond. There’s nothing left to say.

Mountain pushes past her, slow, deliberate. The cart’s wheel squeaks like a bad punchline.

The music picks up again—tight drums, guitar snarling under a layer of fuzz.

>>127021544
I get very warm but clear as a bell tone out of them on my Jazzmaster, even completely clean. What’s nice is that warm clarity is consistent no matter how much gain/distortion you add to it

>>127021468
Jazzmaster bridge sounds way too harsh to me so a Tele bridge would be ideal.

Is it wise to buy a guitar just because you like the tone?

>>127021870
Isn't that the only reason to buy one?
Aside from weight/feel

>>127021870
You should buy the amp

>>127021870
For me, looks are the most important part of a guitar. If you're not inspired to pick up your guitar it can have the best tone in the world but it won't matter. Setup and electronics can be changed, but looks are forever.

>>127021216
God damn, that looks like shit brother

>>127021870
If it's a Strat then yes. If not, find out what pickups it's got and put them in a Strat.

>>127020136
keep your eyes on the fucking guitar, you faggot, if that was a photo of a dildo next to a 50's Gibson i'm sure you would focus on the dildo, you degenerate.

>>127021909
based and correct

>>127021216
that poor guitar looks like shit

>>127021909
Any decently-built guitar can be setup to play very well, and as you said electronics can be changed. Might as well get something that looks good to you.

>>127021870
that's the best reason to buy one

I am punk rock.

>>127022023
I can smell you from here

gonna take a crack at learning the fire and flames intro
nothing fancy in there, playing it at 200 BPM is the only hard part

>>127022032
Try that in a small town.

>>127022059
And if I don't, guy? What are you gonna do about it?

>>127021216
the glare isn't doing it any favors

>>127021981
10% of the image is guitar. You need to consider the art you're trying to create and how the composition reflects it. Like it or not, anon is intentionally pitching us his interior design.

He's clean unlike most of the faggots here.

>>127021216
uh oh, dinky

>>127021787
Huh. Never heard of a Nighthawk before. I’ve never been a fan of Gibsons let alone Epies but I bought a Epiphone Crestwood on a lark and it’s been a pretty decent little guitar. My big issue is they’re not nearly as modular as a fender, if I don’t like the neck on a fender I could replace it myself. The Crestwood sounds pretty good but the tuning stability is pretty bad, I could probably get better tuners and better nut, I need to look into that. It’s quite a vibe aesthetically, I’m not big on retro but this pulls it off pretty well.

>small; insignificant.
Why would any brand who has faith in their product name it "Dinky"... I don't get it.

>>127021411
Why would it cost $175?

>>127022132
Yep, set neck construction means you're stuck with the neck unless you pay a luthier like 800$ to set a new one in.
That's an interesting weird strat/SG hybrid, are those firebird pickups?

why would you name a dad rock guitar "Jazzmaster"... I don't get it

>>127022172
SEC said no to Jizzmaster

>>127022151
They recently changed it to Virtuoso after all of these years.
Dinky comes from the slightly smaller body size though. It's kind of supposed to be a little more handy like the Superstrat version of a Rhoads V.

>>127021216
i got the 6 string version and it's fine, how's the 7 string one?

>>127022172
Who wouldn't want to master Jazz?

>>127022185
Wait, I think only the old Dinkys were actually "dinky". They're the same size as anything else now. I guess the name change is more appropriate.

Jazz has the same problem as rockabilly where they all think they have to use the same old jazzbox type guitars.

>>127022230
I will learn when I finish these guitar method books

>>127022207
jazz is cool but not a big fan of swing time. you can have coherent and/or simultaneous improvisation and melodic ideas in other genres of music with good musicians and you get the benefit of a lot more interesting rhythms and instrumentation imo. like funk

>>127021468
Only problem is they put in a tele neck instead of jazzmaster neck pickup.

parts/labor
he did an amazing fretjob on my lp and I also found out after the fact he used to be a roadie for a big 80s metal band and has a couple patents but he's barely more expensive than taking it to guitar center where a 60 year old stoner would cough on it for a week

Boomer.jr VS Boomer.sr hosted by BOOMER-X

>>127022372
60 year old stoners is what you want. And that isn't GC. Those are all kids.
But your guy sounds like a 60 year old stoner himself.

>>127022307
swing time is more flexible than you think. EVH played in swing time almost consistently, especially during his early Roth-era party stuff. His dad was a swing clarinetist and the music was always on during his upbringing, so that swing feel is ingrained in everything he does. even a lot of his fastest passages, if you slow them down, you'd be surprised how many are amazingly in swing time.

What if I unscrewed the control plate on my tele, rotated it 180 and put it back on, would it work?
I feel like that would be a better control scheme

>>127022388
Boomer Jr is this guy. Practically a zoomer himself. Woulda been huge in a previous age of non wiggers.

>>127022170
Mini humbuckers, they sound pretty good. It was a bit overpriced for a chinee plank but like I said, it’s a vibe. They did this Crestwood, a Wilshire and maybe a LP in some retro line. I wish they would have reissued the ET-270, that’s even more Strat like.

Thread's moving so slow everyone will know I've used the insert from a Tenga egg as a slide

>>127022503
>Tenga egg
I don't know what that is.

>>127022503
Used to use a battery

>>127020149

I made a mistake of buying one. They are uncomfortable and minihumbuckers are not my bag.

>>127020394
Without the mustang switches it's souless

>>127022426
that's true but not for the bassist if they're stuck playing quarters rip

Maybe it's why so many shredders after him don't have that groove he did.

>>127022587
>Maybe it's why so many shredders after him don't have that groove he did.
It is absolutely why. They just play the notes.

>>127022528
I never use the pickups out of phase on the two trad Mustangs I already have.

>>127022076
I'll see you in the big city, big boy.

Its also why people think Wolfgang is fake, because he DOES have eddies groove and is in perfect step when he plays his dad's stuff
for the same reason, that swing time has been there his whole life.

>>127022312

You can fit a p90 or a wrhb or anything really in the neck and there's a route for a single coil in the middle of you want it

>>127022528
Would putting gay anime stickers on it make it less soulless?

>>127022643

I don't have stickers on my guitars but to each their own, after all it's a hobby.

>>127022683
You'd think there'd be less wigger zoomers when Supernatural aired during their whole childhood. What went wrong. Boomer kino.

>>127022619
WRHB are bigger, I don't know if they'd fit. put a double tap in there, oh yeah.

>>127022702

They sell with wrhb

>>127022711

Here's example of a modified one with a filtertron in the neck

>>127022683
I put all my product stickers on my gear box
It makes me feel like a poser and that's the vibe i'm really going for I guess

>>127022711
Oh I stand corrected then. That middle position must sound heavenly.

>>127020394
Mustang 90 fucks ignore the haters. The switches are much less convenient than a 3 way toggle.

>>127022711
Ok this is much better. Wide range neck + tele bridge is a good idea.

>>127022721
What the hell is a gear box and how do I acquire one?

Can you compose music for other instruments without knowing how to read sheet music?

>>127022766
Oh it's just a box I put all my small gear in. Strings, lemon oil, allen wrenches, pliars, shit like that. Everything I need for maintenance.
My dad had a wooden box he built when he was a lad. I use an art supply box that looked kind of rad to begin with.
A tackle box could work too if you find the right one.

>>127022775
guitar pro lets you enter tab and it spits it out as midi and sheet music

I think that's your best bet.

>>127022775
Uh, maybe some hack has tried. Nothing's impossible.
Composers can build a lot of the basic parts of other instruments on a piano or organ because they're polyphonic instruments... you can sort of imitate a microcosm of other sounds through them. Same with guitars, but not as straightforward.

>>127022787
Are there any actual downsides to that? That seems very convenient.
I don't really care about learning sheet music but I would like to be able to compose for different instruments in the future.

>>127022785
Oh I got one of those. It's just an old lunch box with my guitar stuff.

>>127022819
Yeah, that works. I don't like stickers on my guitar, but when I buy a new guitar or pedal or whatever, I almost always get a brand sticker with it. So my gear box gets my brand rep, thus achieving my desired poser effect.

>>127022751
My only issue with the three way is accidentally hitting it but that’s easily solved by rotating it 90 degrees so it switches from 3/9 o’clock

>>127022816
I don't think it's as fast as learning to produce in a DAW, obviously that's not transcribing. There may be other composition software for pianists. It's practical for our skillsets though.

>>127022619
JM pup too

>>127022896
I don't watch this guy much (although I love surf), but it's funny how he seems to be shoveled with gear that he doesn't really like most of the time.

>>127022896
the 90 is a good choice, but the guitar doesn't look great and the single in the bridge is questionable. They should have thrown in a stacked.

>>127022955
jm, not 90

>>127022720
nashville with a tele neck in the middle is insane

When the next round of guitar retailer deals coming up in the u.s.?
I missed out on a tele during the guitar center 4th of july sale and I'm itching for a new beater.
A couple dudes said some of the 200$ amazon trash guitars are halfway okay but I know for a fact higher end squiers and epis don't suck and had fretwork done.

Bros are these good

And then, it settles in. FOMO... The fear of missing out. Suddenly, it feels like time is slowing down. I could see every move I was going to make 12 steps ahead. It was like I was Bobby Fischer if he could really fuck. I go outside, I walk across the street to Guitar Center, I check in on Instagram, my sweet water rep calls me, asks me what I doing there. I say, "I can't talk right now. Call me in 5." Well, he does, and then suddenly Guitar Center is going, "What's sweetwater got going on with anon?" Meanwhile, I'm taking a leak at the GC urinal. I jack off a little bit. I don't cum. And then it snowballs. I deftly played an ovation guitar off the wall for a few minute. And because of that, the big kahuna bites. Guitar center... I spend the next 20 minutes denying calls from sweetwater, over and over. And yes, I'm jacking off, but I don't need to ejaculate because by the time I listen to the messages, I've got offers, I've got counters, I've got counter-counters. I cum. When the dust settled and the losers went home, all that was left was this. "Hello, Mr. Anon. "Sweetwater would like to offer you a sponsorship deal and provide your entire order for free".

Uhm. Yeah, I do. Especially the theory ones. Try learning something someday, neophyte.

>>127023461
that's a good idea if you can filter out the bad and wrong teachers. i feel bad for guitar players because it seems like their teachers are more hit and miss compared to piano and bass

Look at how bad he is live.

How do you stop from sucking in front of an audience?

>>127024181
bring a chair

>>127024181
The first step to not sucking in front of an audience is sucking in front of an audience.

>>127024181
Keep going, don't think about it, pretend you didn't fuck up
Sucking is way better than dropping your performance halfway through

>>127023738
he speeds his clips up and edits them, this sounds like dookie and several leagues below what he presents in his clips

>>127023696
Honeymoon phase?

>>127024181
Just imagine them all naked, now turn yourself in to the nearest police station you sick sick man.

I keep getting drunk and buying 8" cowbells online :-/

its all just AI now, nobody is even real, every article every post AI, so blatant. Doesn't matter all the users are bots too.

>>127024229
any youtuber that speeds up his clips is a fraud.

>>127024588
>>127024608
finally some rock and roll

Caring about the mix is fucking CRUCIAL my guy. So ONE FUCKING INSTRUMENT doesn't ask the entire REST OF THE BAND to cater to them. Retards.

>>127024754
cater to this mix faggot

what do i do now bros...

the mix? yeah, i just flip the producer switch on my guitar and play the exact same thing with the exact same eq and they love it

>>127024848
Bend the headstock back, superglue and ramen will fix that right up

>>127024848
Only a Gibson will do.

>>127025231
This sounds like Quiet Riot

>>127025293
I raise you

>>127025326
Nice counterfeit Gibson.

>>127025326
nice

>>127025364
NTA

they should make a guitar version of this

>>127025293
Gibson thought they were slick slapping the standard name on these and charging a premium

>>127025520
what's the difference?

>>127025324
It's the humming by enya, I'm not much of a singer but I felt like recording it

>>127025608
Gloss finish. Those old Studios were heavy as fuck, too. Don't know about the Standards.

>>127025498
talmans have existed for ages

what's the difference?

>>127025687
Looks like a Strat and Toronado had a baby

Hello what did you learn today?

>>127026619
Learn? I played the same stuff I always play.

>>127026619
I learned about this thing called the circle of fifths.

Shocked by how much I've grown out of blues. I can't even bare to improvise over a blues backing track. I even stopped using overdrive.
Now all I want to play is clean neo soul backing tracks

>>127026928
Time to change that trip then bubs thems the rules

black neosoul anon just doesn't ring the same

>>127027132
thats because you need the alliteration, so he'd have to switch to Neosoul Nigger.

>>127026928
If you can sing too, then have it made. You don't need to be a great guitarist.
This guy doesn't even need more than a Squier.

>>127023261
I guess they're my second choice since they're so easy to find.

>>127027208
I garuntee he has the money for a better guitar... so why doesn't he? Is it a game for these people?

>>127027289
He's not a huge artist and only finally getting some love. Plays a nicer acoustic a lot more though...and pianos.

>>127026928
>so my taste has grown from this thing I can't play to this other thing I also can't play

>>127027332
I'm better than you though

>>127027345
certainly faster.

>>127027351
Simply for playing 15 years makes me better.

where can i get one of these, gibson are out of stock

>>127027375
its not a contest bro its about the music you just don't get it

>>127026619
Sultans Of Swing on rhythm, now my pinkie finger looks like this

>>127027461
These dudes do not even make music. I write songs and compose. They just noodle.

>>127027498
Noodling is music too, both are different things within music. Doesn't make you better than anyone just different.

>>127027498
Come back to me when you have a song on Newgrounds with nearly 3000 listens and used in at least 1 (One) Flash game, chump

>>127027447
Ask around on grindr.

Noodling is my therapy.
This is why I look 10 years younger than all my peers. Zero stress.

>>127027566
Whoa, slow down sailor! No need for the hostilities, we're all simpatico yeah? Lets just keep it real cool.

>>127020466
I have this guitar. It's decent, but weighs a fucking ton compared to my Strat. You'll probably need a proper setup too: the frets on mine were pretty rough and the fret buzz was awful.

>>127027673
Where do you even live where you simultaneously in the suburbs and high up in a building?

>>127027777
That's like the third floor, hardly a skyscrapper

>>127027799
I live in suburb apartments myself. I don't exactly see many high apartments here, I guess. That seems high. Mine's kind of a townhouse.

>>127022574
>michael anthony is a simple man
>who wrote simple bass lines
Michael Anthony's dad played jazz professionally as a side job. Michael was formally trained in music, he learned to play the piano with the specific purpose of improving his harmony when playing bass guitar

IMO, there is no such thing as a 'good bass player', I hate bass and it should have become out moded in the late 60s with improved guitar amps and electric keyboards. But Michael was a much better bass player than most any other rock bass player

1998 MIK epiphone joe pass emperor with thomastik infeld flat wounds

>>127024229
> several leagues below what he presents in his clips

yeah thats how music production works

Bass amps for playing in the house, that are going to be able to handle low tunings without flubbing?

I gave up playing guitar well like a decade ago after some serious wrist pain, been playing bass for a year or two and it doesn't hurt me, but it's boring playing bass quietly now I'm out of a flat and into a house.

>>127027863
Yknow, I played an old dot, or whatver the single p90 version was called, and it sounded flipping GREAT acoustically.
Keep in mind I would always play godin kingpins which are actual full-size hollowbody acoustics.
Nah dog the epiphone whatever was a great hollowbody with a great sound.
... Unfortunately guitar center was a ware of this and priced a 27 year old fucking epi at 750$ but the cumstains were free

>>127025718
The pickup on the left guitar is closer to the bridge.

>>127027876
>>127024229
Oh come on now.

>>127027711
Ibanez are light AF you are just a wimp

hope you like it geegee
https://voca.ro/1bjJuIL0A6br

I don't hate it

what does gee gee think about parker?

>>127028554
neat looking

>>127028554
Incredibly interesting guitars, one of the few things I'd still like to try and possibly own.
I'd absolutely recommed Ken Parker's Archtoppery series on youtube if you're interested in luthiery and guitar design ideas.

looks cool but everyone who's tried it says the upper horn kept poking them in the ribs

>Sunburst Strat+Marshall
I play sword n board warriors in vidya too.

>>127028748
I'm trying to fight off gas for this though. I think there's an anon here with the Super Sonic, but I want the blonde head and cab. Surprisingly pricey. I think Fender's amp prices got jacked up.

>>127028554
>no tonewood

>>127027447
I don't like the way rick is looking at me here

>>127023762
based and straightpilled
>>127025326
this is made by AI, the neck isnt broken

>>127028994
This man can't back down now. He's whole life is based on tonewood.

>>127028958
Fenders are massively overpriced

>>127029022
It used to not be as ridiculous. Guitars are a better deal though.. then again, they may not depending on where you live.

The only guy who ever looked cool with a PRS. Because he just went black and white.

>>127029107
such a kissable mouth

>900 Dollarydoos

Keep production in China.

Is BC Rich even a real company anymore?
I think even the higher end stuff is just outsourced to various (badass) private luthiers.

>B.C Rich
Every guitar they put out makes me want to vomit

"The Brutal Truth"

>>127029163
>made in India
you get what you fucking deserve

>>127029221
But he wants China instead. Not much better. They just have a little more experience.
Non-guitar cultures don't know wtf they're doing though. You're better off in Mexico. Hate all you want, but they're still familiar with guitars a lot more than Indians and Chinese.

>>127023391
the only thing that brings me pleasure in life is working on guitars and learning guitar

>>127029239
If you go watch some of that guy's reviews on Firefly guitars. They're 1/5 the price but they're leaps and bounds ahead and quality of that $900 joke BC Rich put out.
And they're made in China

Man I love Mexican guitars.

>>127029350
I don't know anything except Kremona (mostly classical guitars), which are from Bulgaria, I think.

>>127024181
In my experience you don't, you just learn to cope. Try to be critical of your playing in the practice room but not too critical when you're playing live.

>playing an improvised solo live:
>"I shouldn't play that arpeggio because it sounds too stock."
>"I shouldn't stay in box 1 pentatonic so much,"
>"I bet there are other guitarists judging me right now. I have to play something flashy or everyone will think I suck."

>>127029397
When in doubt, just boomer bend.

>>127027863
Sorry son, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the car and provide pictures of this based guitar.

Weren't there stories of the carbon fibre necks delaminating after some years and becoming razorblade sharp finger slicers?

He looks like a Mongol drag queen.

>>127029614
He won, in any case. He's never not had a hot chick hanging on him. Nowadays half his age like Keidis.

Yeah, I guess. Unlike Keidis, he keeps marrying them.

i feel like a 200iq god

>>127027881
Anyone?

>>127030055
this is /gg/ not /bg/ go back to your 4-string homos

can you get tremolo arm action without a tremolo arm?

>>127027881
All of them? In regular tuning the low E is already not chiming out the fundamental properly. It's a frequency so low that you're mostly hearing harmonics. Any decent 100W+ amp will do.

feels strange to have thread full off vocaroos that don't want to make me off myself. we're getting somewhere

>>127020092 (OP)

>>127030133
>>127030133

>>127030055
flubbing is from your strings not your amp. just get a fender rumble 40 and turn the bass down if it's too much

>>127020149
Looks like boomer furniture. I'd get a real guitar instead.
