Are you a bad enough dude to use the p90 hotrailbucker?

>>127123367
Noise is good.

>>127123367
what does it sound like? a 90, or a bucker?

>>127123367
I am not

Two weeks since I got this Mustang, honeymoon phase still hasn’t even begun to fade away. It’s still been the only guitar I’ve been playing

>>127123603
I'm struggling to bond with a HB equipped Strat I bought. But I sort of need one around.

look at how much tone is in there

>>127123665
there's so much it's bulged the sides trying to get out

What does your guitar smell like?

>>127123679
coco butter, black and milds, and foot powder

with channel gain at 3 and the guitars pickup at 10, the amp sounds like shit. if i turn the gain to 10 and the guitar to 3 so the loudness is the same, it sounds fucking amazing and my guitar literally physically feels different.

this is a master volume amp, and how loud the amp is has no effect on the tone. only the balance between pickup and input gain. hi pickup and low vol sounds like shit. hi vol and low pickup is sex. neither are breaking up this is all inside clean headroom.

pic related is a visualization of the guitar tech egregore i talk to about these things. hes like my oprah

>>127123679
Cum from some sick retard at guitar center, can you believe those people?

the fact that the mesa 5ar4 rectifier i took out has 5 pins and the "compatible" tube i got on amazon has 4 pins isn't gonna stop me from putting it into my amp and turning it on to see if it sounds good. it is larger as you can see which is probably why it does not need 5 pins.

>>127123367
All the bucker is there for is to cancel out the hum.
It produces no sound.

>>127123825
RIP to his amp anons....

>>127123679
no discernible odor. just like the real Paul Reed Smith

>>127123732
lower your pickup height?

>>127123852
maybe not :(

>>127123863

>>127123873
this reduces clarity faster than level which is at cross purposes. i just put a screw in the guitar where the knob should stop for the clean channel.

A bit of Kaki King I worked out while playing around with my new MIG 50. Kinda makes me want to into lap steel..

i took the metal bar off the back of the amp, still can't fit this big ass rectifier in. so i'm going to cut a hole in the bottom of my mesa boogie.

>>127123945
Do those have a built in holy grail verb? I think their little SS combo does.
Playing is nice.

Tubes are warming up a lot faster now.

>>127123986
ai slop gross. post real gear.

>>127123966
Thanks. Nope, zero effects, just channels 1/2 and treble/middle/bass/presence. I’m running a Y cable so I can use channels 1+2 simultaneously which sounds really good. Very bare bones but in the best way possible because it sounds great and also makes for a great amp for a busy pedal board.

>>127123945
batman!

>>127124052

>>127124079
Same with my amp. No reverb, nothing. But takes pedals well.

>>127124130
I was all set to go with a DSL100HR but it went out of stock with the cabinet deal so I ended up losing patience and going with the MIG. Very glad it worked out that way, channel one is pretty much a Bassman sound and channel 2 is a Marshall JTM/Plexi inspired. Running them together and balancing with the respective volume knobs makes for a pretty wide range of sounds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2xRkCN9JYU
I cant believe he said the first line with a straight face. This guy is so fucking

>>127124212
Funny you mention that, since the DSL's reverb sucks. You'd end up getting another reverb, I'd bet. But everything else is cool about it. It's "Metallica" type distortion capable. But you can get there with pedals anyways.

>>127123632
Nah if you don’t bond with it let it go. Just get a regular old HH guitar along with a regular old Strat. If you still can’t bond with one sell it and stick to the other. HSS Strats are cool and super versatile but I’ve never been able to bond with one either

>>127124239
firefly... wasn't this a shitty amazon brand like 5 years ago? the name sounds familiar

>>127124239
The whole point of a custom shop is.....it's custom. How do you even measure that. How is a $200 shitplank better.

>>127124239
Even that Phillip McKnight can't believe how good Firefly guitars are.

>>127124288
the ghost of Fallujah?

>>127124248
Yeah, everything about it is cool on paper. Even has a LSR nut, so a lot more stable than the regular Strat. But I don't know..

i'm not gonna cut a hole in my mesa boogie, i'm just gonna take the amp out of the wooden box, obviously.

WHICH SOUND ARE YOU GETTINGGGGG?????

>>127124333
Different brand but I've been eyeing those EART strats after a guy posted the video with the jhorts fin playing it.
I haven't owned a fender yet but the fret finish and roasted maple neck is pushing me over the edge.
However, I think a guy in the last thread said he just bought an eart strandberg clone and they switched from alnico to ceramics so I'm worried about the TONE.
two hunnit sixty bux is still two hunnit sixty bux tho

>>127124326
i wouldn't have cared if you did. tools are made to be used not speculative investments

i'm going to victor wootens music camp next year

>>127124268
It's a Custom Shop 52 NOS. So basically the argument is "The Firefly has more modern features than a 50's guitar, ergo it's better"

>>127124390
I get the feeling some of the guys are the equivalent of tiktok Temu shills.
That said, if it was 51 NOS Nocaster, it'd be the clear winner.

had a friend with a firefly a few years back, was every bit as good as my MiM strat

and now we find out what is what

>>127124427
can already tell just by the fact that there’s fucking 7 12ax7s that its an incredibly inefficient circuit

>>127123310 (OP)
Anyone fucked with one of these?

>>127124371
That sounds fun.

>>127124239
if you watch any of the gibson custom shop tours they explicitly state that there is 0 difference in manufacturing between their standard USA line other than paint options and hardware
its whats kept me from getting a LP custom, its the exact same thing as a standard just with a diamond logo and gold hardware

>>127123875
boogie defends itself

>>127124450
it's actually a guitar amplifier. that's why.

>>127124459
no but i want one

>>127124473
i'm very excited, his style of teaching is very approachable. it's more affordable than i thought it would be, he said they only charge enough to run the camp. most of my heroes died decades ago so i figure i should at least meet one of them if i can

>>127124499
It would likely be the most expensive pedal on my board but the utility seems worth it.

>>127124576
Lodging too is wild. That is worth it.

>>127124427
What in the FUCK is that lightbulb

>>127124576
thats a crazy deal but not only that i bet its an insane racket, looks like he typically gets like 30+ students a seminar

>>127124584
>>127124601
well he's probably the most popular bassist atm and each one is 60 slots. it's kind of 80% music seminar 20% nature retreat. the lodging is basically permanent structure scout camp lol. i don't mind i basically live in the woods anyway

>>127124594

i bet itll be excellent, always wanted to go to one of guthries workshops but im fat and retarded

>>127124418
I dunno, he's clearly got no problems buying a $3k guitar on a whim, nor is he a 20-something poorfag who needs temu money. I'm just not sure what his angle is.

>>127124634
>$1500 amp
Oh no

>>127124661
go for it man. being embarrassed is temporary, regret is forever. unfortunately i don't know any cool down to earth guitarists that do camps. most are hucksters as you can imagine. i'm nervous to play in front of a bunch of people some who may be famous

>>127124663
>im not sure what his angle is

>>127124689

and dont worry about it, knowing victor its a 0 ego atmosphere

want one of these deals
its a soprano guitar tuned an octave up

the PSVANE Horizon Series 274B-AT / 5U4G Vacuum Tube Amplifier rectifier tube didn't blow anything up, and sounds good!

but i don't think it's gonna fit back in the head box with that tube. unless i cut the amp box up. which i may now that i've confirmed it doesn't (immediately) blow up my amplifier. and it does sound great.

truth is, i actually knew that that pin was just extra.

>>127124791
The offset hate is so forced. Jazzmasters are Leo's genius arguably at it's peak.

would it have made more sense to just incorporate the heritage team into gibson custom shop+? obviously egos wouldn't let this happen but would they have seen more success?

>>127124928
I assume they just didn't want to move to memphis/nashville

jazzmasters fucking suck
there i said it

>>127124791
Which stage are you on?

Conceived as the 25th Anniversary Tribute to the original Mark I, the Heartbreaker is a two channel / five mode, footswitchable rendering of that evolutionary milestone. The channels - Love and Lust, trace the two faces of rock-and-roll back to their amplified roots celebrating the stylistic yin and yang that was taking shape simultaneously on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Love embodies all the black-face magic of yesteryear and can be switched between three distinct regions of gain ranging from bubbly, chiming clean, up through medium gain blues - all the way to the liquid, singing voice of the fabled Mark I's lead channel... the world's first high gain performance.
The Lust channel flashes an enticing blend of harmonically lush sounds across two diverse modes that serve it up any style. From the saucy howl of a 4x10 Tweed to a teasing plexi purr - Lust toys with the fine line between clean and dirty with sinful sincerity. Both channels sport selectable voicing options as well as individual Reverb and Presence controls.

>>127124936
i hate all 3 but detroit has to be at the bottom of that list

this mf has 0 shame

>>127124958
The Squiers do look good.

>>127124980

the reverb is useless. the Mark 1 circuit on Love is twice as loud. period, under any corcumstance. like you could have every knob at 10 and when you click the mark 1 button, the amp still becomes twice as loud. i think its impossible to simultaniously get the two channels balanced with ch1 as mk1 and ch2 as tweed. but im willing to spend another five more weeks and more money than the amp is worth to make it work. i think the 6v6 will get me there. then i have to find someone that answers their ohone to do a full refurb cuz all the pots short out intermittently if you touch them wrong.

The Squier Stratocaster is a pathetic excuse for a guitar. With its flimsy construction, shoddy electronics, and laughable attempt at a Fender headstock, this instrument is nothing more than a cheap import masquerading as the real deal. The tone is thin and lifeless, the frets are uneven, and the hardware feels like it was made from recycled soda cans. If you're looking for a guitar that will make you feel like a true musician, look elsewhere. This Squier is a sad reminder that sometimes, you get what you pay for - and in this case, you're paying for disappointment.

Now hold on there, hotshot. That’s mighty spicy language for a piece of wood with strings on it.
Look I’ve played a Squier Strat through a busted Crate amp in a Wendy’s parking lot at 3am and made two grown men cry. One of 'em was me.
You don’t need no boutique tonewood or hand-wired wizard box to feel something, buckaroo.

>>127127180
yeah sometimes it's hard to see the logic behind practicing your timing at something painfully slow like 40 bpm but it magnifies your mistakes. some things only need to be maintained and i cut out thinks like techniques i genuinely wasn't interested in and genres i don't want to play and put the extra time and energy towards more important stuff. thankfully it's not like going to the gym and you can see musical progress in a few days instead of 6 months

I used to jack lumber. I remember one gig, foreman shows up to my homestead at 5am in a quad cab and honks. I follow him in my quad cab to the site. The sun was just coming up and I was gassing up my rig when I saw it... poplar
"Yeah... no." I said as I secured my teals in the bed of my truck. "You didn't tell me you were a piece of shit. I don't work with poplar, my daddy didn't raise a faggot."

>>127127244
Now I’m gonna stop you right there, partner. You talkin’ ‘bout lumber like it owes you money, and worse you’re tossin’ around ugliness like it’s seasoning. First off poplar’s fine wood. Might not be flashy, but it’s got work ethic. Like a quiet cousin who helps you move without being asked. Secondly and you better listen up, slick. Ain’t no place in a man’s mouth for slurs like that. My daddy raised me to treat folks right. Not ‘cause of who they love or what wood they cut, but ‘cause respect’s cheaper than hate and lasts longer too. If the worst thing you can say about a tree, or a person is that they ain’t what you’re used to, maybe it’s time to take a walk in the woods and rethink some things. Now if you’re done puffin’ your chest, I’ll be over here strummin’ a love song on a poplar ukulele with three strings and a whole lot more heart than that mess you just said.

Daddy told us not to be ashamed of our tone, specially since its such good size

Yes. And they sound amazing. P90 position 1 and 2, or with both humbuckers on. Sounds like LP pickups but plays like a strat.
I have been writing original songs on this guitar because it's versatile and fun to play.

>>127127379

there's a reason why companies don't use p90s y'know? There's a reason why companies are better than fender at their own body shapes y'know?

thats a really terrible bridge. i'd replace that pronto. the bridge is not viable. it renders the instrument strictly practice only, its not a real guitar if you have a bridge like that

>>127128084
welp pack it in lads, les pauls are no longer fit for public use

>>127128054
Will try this tomorrow, the V's are super sharp, wonder if they've worn to a fine point over the years or something.

get a real bridge

>>127128117
and if its at this spot its rubbing the strings until they snap, just get a dremel tip or something and smooth it

Any tips on how to jam alone/doodle the blues? I always get stuck with simple chords and pentatonics, since I never know where to go.

well im dead

How much is intonation affected by changing the tuning half a step? I plan on tuning my LP mostly to E flat when playing but I want to be able to tune it back to standard too, especially if I'm planning on recording. Would it be better to set it up for standard then, and just tune down when needed, rather than setting it up for e flat and tuning up when needed?

don't really know what i'm doing
>put capo on first fret and put finger on 22nd fret
>check to see if neck is bowed. make straight as per fret to string height
>try to set string heights with ruler, some are different heights and can't seem to get it right
>set ruler on top of strings
>adjust height so all strings touch the back of the ruler

feels alright, no dead frets and no buzz

>>127125575
I want one of these so bad. Just without the trem. This one and the mockingbird are some of the best looking guitars ever.

Am I ready?

>>127128147
Nah it's snapping on the saddles themselves, you can see it happening very soon on this anons D string too >>127128283 r.i.p

>>127128311
>removed all relief
>removed string radius
>no dead frets and no buzz
hey as long as it works

>>127128421
I'll have to look up neck relief and I might have to get one of those rulers to set the string heights.

I bought it used and every string was different heights and action was like an acoustic

These guitars need body bindings to complete the fancy looks

>>127123732
isn't that because the guitar volume pot rolls off the highs disproportionately so you get warmer toans at lower volumes

>>127128291
Kinda depends on the guitar and string gauge. Just check it and tweak as needed. It’s pretty simple, make minor adjustments

>intonation at fret 12 fine
>intonation at 14 and up all fucked
what's the play here

>>127128816
Buy a new guitar

>>127128407
File/buff the saddle slots minimally but enough to hopefully remedy the issue. Or just get a new bridge. Pretty sure my JM tunomatic has polymer in the slots, I’ll check that out and post pics if so

>>127128816
All I can suggest is make the slightest adjustments to bridge saddles (if you even can)...made you'll stumble on the sweet spot. If it's not the saddles, I can't fathom what the hell causes that.

>>127128879
maybe you stumble*

>>127129130
simply make the edges not round

then un-round the guitar

I can't kill the GAS I have for a Super-Sonic.
Who's the anon with the Super-Sonic amp here? What are the downsides so you can talk me out of it?

>>127129212
you should get one bro trust me

>>127128806
It'd be LP with 11-48/50/52 strings, still haven't decided on that. But I'd want to play all the E at stuff like Guns, Lizzy and what not on it but at the same time I'd want to play E standard stuff too. Also I record mostly in standard as well so I imagine I'd be better to set up for that. If the intonation doesn't get too screwy when tuned down then it's okay, I wouldn't wanna mess with it every time I wanna play in different tuning.

>>127129231
A basic setup will allow to comfortably do Eb and E and 11-48 or 10-46 if you want later. Half step tuning isn't going to be drastic. I do it all the time.

>>127129212

the fender super-sonic amp is a piece of shit. oh cool a 22 watt fender that's supposed to be clean? with 3 tubes? yeah it's a fuckin modeling amp for 1500 dollars. you could get a twin, a jcm800, a bassman or tweed, a vox, a mesa boogie for that price. something that matters and will be worth 90% of what you paid for it in 5 years rather than 20% in 2 weeks because zero people know or care or want a super-sonic because it is an amp with no character or practical purpose. it's completely disconnected from any of the circuits that actually sound good of which there are a limited number and which there are like 4 groups developing along two different philosophies of preamps. it's really slop.

>>127129195
>you will never be fancy
replacing wood with plastic never seemed all that fancy to me. if anything they're removing toan with the wood they take out

>>127129247
I don't want a twin or jcm800. As cool as they are. Sonic isn't just a clean amp though. It's got Bassman and Vibrolux circuits. And then a high-ish gain preamp. I don't know about any others, but you are right, the price is steep. Thanks.

>>127129283
I mean, the twin and jcm are too much amp for my uses. Would like a Deluxe sized combo, but the sonic seems to offer a bit more.

>>127129283
just get a vibrolux or a bassman then, trust me

>>127129283
how long have you owned a bassman that you want additional circuits to achieve what?

>>127129299
are they? broke working musicians and pros alike have been using twins and jcm's in bedrooms, studios, practice closets, etc. for decades. yeah bigloud is a different instrument than parlor level but the amps sound good at both levels. 'too much amp' is not much of a thing any of the primitive fenders will serve you well

>>127129301
You've dampered the GAS for now. Something to think about.

>>127129322
>how long have you owned a bassman that you want additional circuits to achieve what?
I don't have a bassman. But the second vibrolux channel would be different enough if that's what it is. They're usually janglier.

>>127129337
bruh the supersonic is *not* gonna sound like a bassman or a vibrolux. those amps sound magical. the supersonic will not sound or feel magical. it will have a few facsimiles of the sound and feel you actually want. and the real thing is like the same price and is a known quantity, an established and understood tone machine, rather than some H1B indian designed mass market product that comes with a massive aura debuff

>>127129267
>add more wood to sharpen edges for binding
>take out some of the extra wood to add binding
it all evens out the toan

>>127129365
Fair enough. One other reason it appealed to me over vintage specs is it has a loop. And I think a non-Indian actually designed it. lol. Or at least partly. Bruce Zinky did the original Pro-Sonics that that high gain is from.
I sort of wish I still had the little Rectoverb I used to own. It accomplished bright/fat/high gain itself in a little package.

>>127129246
Good to know, thanks. I'll have it setup for standard then tune down when I need to.

>>127129231
>he doesn't have dedicated guitars for each tuning

>>127128506
Real niggas got that Boogie

>>127129426
It might be worth worrying about if you were using a Strat and wanted perfect glide for trem use. Never know if 11s get "microscopically" slowed on a nut specced for 10s. But you're on a LP. It's not gonna matter.

>>127129407
i dunno, i'd demo it against the real thing with the same guitar and be really honest if any number of features add up to the sound of one of the primitive amps.

if you have effects you really want to use you can have an effects loop installed in them anywhere or get a kit yourself. it's not uncommon to use two black panel combos in stereo like that.

you could probably get two kits to build your own blackface fender with fx loops for the price of a super-sonic

>>127123679
my 12 string still has that sour smell of treated wood even though I got it new 13 years ago, because I live in an arid place (the prairies of Leafistan) and have to keep it in its case with Humidipaks to stop it from shitting itself to death

>>127129577
My D-18 still has that Martin factory smell. Maybe because it's in the case often when not played.
Kind of a cedar and vanilla mix with a hint of nitro.

i think it would be cool to route a 1978 fender strat like pic related for a bridge humbucker. a Van Halen frankenstrat that is actually a fender and from 1978

>>127129634
Eddie's Frankenstein also used a custom neck with a Gibson (12") radius. That's the other thing that set it apart besides the humbucker. I think all the reissues use the compound radius same as his Wolfgangs.

>>127129650
a lot of 70s strats have been refretted with jumbo frets. and every time you refret the fretboard gets a little flatter.

>>127129577
Acoustic guitars seem to smell a lot, electrics not really unless you open the back plate or something

>>127128407
Get some roller saddles.

>>127129434
That's the goal. Someday.

>>127129451
Yeah trems add their own sets of problems with tuning. I'll be happy as long as I can tune down half a step and it still sounds good.

theyre sick in the head, they forgot that im him.

>>127129895
It's over.

Any strap suggestions for this? I already have a black leather strap with fake bullets. I asked /fa/ but it's a slow board as fuck.
