beat me by a minute, I was gonna make i

>>127418138 (OP)
I got to fuck around with a squier CV with them fake wide-range pickups this morning and honestly and it sounded pretty good.
Unfortunately I finally tried a p-90 epi LP and that thing fucked, I thought p90s were supposed to be bright, it was growling and barking. Really want a p-90 guitar now.

>>127418177
Also I was fucking around noodling playing basic bitch blues licks and some 19 yer old psuedo-tranny autist kid pulled up to the amp next to me with a schecter 8 and started playing death math rock and kept staring at me, did I get mogged?

>>127418177
I assume those are lower output because Squier, but the Vintera wide range has 99% of the sound and output as the vintage ones. Don't overpay for "le super rare cunife magnets"

Goal is to hit 50 songs by the end of the year. Some of these I learned by ear but sometimes my practice sessions is playing along on shuffle or adding songs to this list. The LRD song i am still learning. I got the first 3 and a half minutes down, then the bass does some crazy shit i can't hear over the guitar

>>127418177
P90s imo are definitely more vintage and barky at higher volumes. They clean up at lower volumes, but aren't as clean and hi-fi as Dynasonics.
A nice P90 equipped guitar is essential.

ARE YOU READY YOU CROC 'N' ROLL /gg/...ARE YOU READY CROC 'N' ROLLLL?

Okay played bass for like an hour and a half. Time to pick up the jazzmaster.

>>127418393
how's it been goin bro?

>>127418393
Maybe take a break, do some stretches, and drink some water.

I honest to Satan don't know if bands chug on power chords or single strings. I can go "chug-chug-chug-chug" on downstrokes, but I can't go "chuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachuggachugga" on two strings.

>>127418559
Both this guitar and the mustang from last thread are basically les pauls/mcartty's at this point but with none of PRS skill nor provenance

Would you consider an expensive guitar ($3000) if it had rust on some of the metal? I got offered a Custom Shop Tele in a trade and I like everything about it other than the saddles, screws in the body, and screws on the tuners are all brown with rust. It wouldn’t bother me too bad if the whole guitar was relic’d but the rest of the guitar has just normal play wear for a 15 year old guitar, nothing crazy beat up. The rust makes me question the guitar though.

>>127418631
you should practice alternate picking palm mutes. in fact alternate picking seems to be something a lot of guitar players struggle with for whatever reason. but to answer the question you didn't ask, bands do both

>>127418705
>provenance
No, they're done more along the lines of Fender's modularity, precision, and efficiency.

>>127418716
I wouldn't pay $3k for a used tele, no.

>>127418744
That’s what he values it at, I’m selling two guitars at around $2500 total and he wants a two for one trade.

Ayy mind your tone round a man like me playa. Matter of fact, imma be straight with you dawg... look at me wrong way you might find your ass knocked out ong. Bi/gg/ dawgs gotta eat

>>127418778
just change all the screws. fender shit is all interchangeable

>>127418738
I bet you have an iphone too

>>127418778
If its worth it to you, you can change hardware out like the other anon said.

>>127418729
But you DID answer the question I asked.
And I thought alternate is the standard. But chugga-chugga, man, I can't do it on power chords

>>127418138 (OP)
Finally got around to making a head from a combo amp.
Tolex is on it's way.

>>127418488
On bass pretty well, on guitar snail pace. I need to be putting in as much work on bass as I am guitar but it's so much harder I'm only doing like 30 minutes before I tire out from fucking up. I have 2 songs that I've been trying to learn. I got majority of four hours by duster down. the 2nd song is drowning man by the cure. It involves chords so I'm using that for practice with moving my hands comfortably on beat.

>>127418559
Going out in 45 minutes for a concert so this is my only time left to play today.

>>127418869
Nice job, Anon. What colour of tolex?

>>127418915
Black

>>127418869
Cool project anon. I look forward to the finished product

I was the one who said I had pain in my elbow while playing in the last thread. Thanks for the advice, I WAS resting my elbow on the arm of my chair when playing. I was just trying to get comfy. Never again. I'll start massaging my arm and stretching as part of the practice.

Bros, many years ago I decided to check the out the Max Grip picks by Dunlop and now I am unable to use any other pick
If a pick doesn't have raised ridges for grip I can't use it. I simply cannot keep hold of it
I tried the Herco nylon picks Jimmy Page uses and those are acceptable, but I just feel the Max Grips are a bit better

>>127418138 (OP)
How much gain is too much gain?
I noticed that I have an easy time nailing things with high gain. But once I turn the gain down it feels like I am playing with heavy weights on, hard to describe.
But practicing fully clean makes it very difficult to notice muting fails and such.
> use what sounds good
I am strictly talking about practice tones here that hide the least amount of bad technique

>>127419218
>How much gain is too much gain?
Anything past a plexi on 10

>>127418559
Woah sexy

>>127419218
Sounds like a sustain problem? I rarely use the gain channel because of how much gain it produces, the crunch channel is usually more than enough gain for sustaining notes and doing harmonics.

I think i know what you mean, there's a really shitty point between clean and distortion where everything sounds off

>>127419218
>set amp to barely breaking up when played hard
>throw overdrive in front of it
>throw clean boost in effects loop
>add a fuzz or second OD on board
>use volume knob on guitar to dial in cleans
This is how I do it. Stacking gain stages gives you more control and doesn't make your guitar get lost in the mix like it will with super high gain stuff.

Same but tortex 1mm.

Wait, you can put heads on combo amps? I thought the point was that it's a head and cab.

If anyone wants the workbook for this Absolutely Understand Guitar course I'll upload it someswhere and host it for an hour or so for people to download, just tell me a good place to upload it.

>>127419746
Uh... Who's gonna tell him sisters...

I’m glad I owned one of the first run of Jagstangs back in the day, while I regret selling it, it kinda suffers the worst of both the guitars it’s a mix between. The shape is just a bit too much as well, it would be cool if some other company took the idea and improved on it. Use a proper locking trem system, add a rhythm circuit, make it HH with split coil wiring, and put a good bridge on it. I like the general idea, just not how it was ultimately executed. Also, would love to see the Toronado get a proper fender model with a good range of colors and the ability to split the coils.

some chicks saw me walkin with my squier and said 'nice guitar' and walked away giggling.

Is Rickety Beato’s ear training corse leaked anywhere? Is it any good?
Any recommendations for any other course/training material for the ear?

>>127420185
>it would be cool if some other company made a completely different guitar
I agree

>>127420218
Did she say it in a “nice guitar faggot” sort of way or “nice guitar anon” sort of way?

I was at the store earlier and as I was leaving the cashier said "you have a nice day". Or that's what I thought she said. But as I was leaving I realized it sounded like she said "you have a nice dick". I'm so handsome women get shook around me.

>>127420185
Toronado with a 5 way is on the short list of new Fenders I'd buy.

>>127420248
As if. You don't know what handsome is, sweety.

>>127420248
My mom says I'm handsome

>>127420263
You better play bitch

You guys seein' this?

Putting y'all on notice. My main squeeze a fine chick every time. But if I'm at a gig and some twink starts at me I don't know dawg...

after probably 15+ years of using 9-46 strings, just for fun I put 8-42 on my Les Paul and I'm actually kinda digging it
Just gotta get used to how it feels but I thought I'd hate it

Why haven’t you worked in so long?
Well, uh … I do work.

I mean on the road.
On the road … I don’t know, working on the road. … Well, Jann, I’ll tell ya – I was on the road for almost five years. It wore me down. I was on drugs, a lot of things. A lot of things just to keep going, you know? And I don’t want to live that way anymore. And uh … I’m just waiting for a better time – you know what I mean?

holy schizo batman
back to my gemini gem

new player here. just got these from my uncle. what am i in for?

the tuner is from the year 2000 lol. don't know how old the other stuff is but the pedal looks crusty

he doesn't know if they even work

>>127420361
i played on 10s for the longest time bc i played way too hard like an idiot
switching to 9s is like fucking easy mode and ill never go back motherfucker!!!!

>>127418177
I have a Noventa JM which has 3 P90s and the bridge P90 with tone knob at 10 is pretty bright, so it goes from decently bright to fattest toan I own at the neck with the tone knob rolled all the way off. I also have a Mustang with P90s but even the neck pickup is fat and warm sounding on that one. Pretty sure they’re the same P90s in both

Is it normal to have trouble touching the low E string without touching the A string?

>>127420502
just tell people its muting

>>127420251
Someone in here told me I should post my Paranormal Toronado more because it’s always hidden at the back of my rack in pics I post. I’ve been playing it a bit more lately and it’s actually very decent for a Squier, but it just makes me want one with better components and QC. Something about the scale length, pickups and LP influence makes for a winning recipe mixed with the body shape. Fender has a bad habit lately of taking a model like it and either subtracting or swapping out intrinsic features and characteristics, so if they do release a Toronado here’s hoping it’s a traditional model. It’s going on 30 years old, make a fuckin Vintera Toronado for all I care lol

I'm building an electric guitar. I was at an hardware store earlier this evening. Looking for large brass bolts to use as a bridge. When this absolute hunk walked in. Sisters I'll tell you.

Will boomer guitars be worthless once all boomers are gone? after all, they're the only ones willing to pay the high prices for their own SHIT

>>127420749
the utlra rare shit will just get more valuable and rare because millennials were the last generation to play guitar, so they still know about old gibsons and whatnot
but in general, the vintage market will soften up a ton. the "regular" vintage stuff will drop because only boomers care about it, but something like a 59 Les Paul will still be worth a million

I love ya dawg
And I'll explain

>>127420430
it almost feels like cheating because it's so easy and there's no wrist fatigue doing a bunch of barre chords
i think i might keep it with 8s from now on

>>127420749

I feel like younger players are buying the offsets, which guitars do gen z want to collect? Obviously you can buy reissues but i think the timber would be different compared to the 60's (maybe made from older trees). Are the newer reissues made from lighter grade mahogany?

A lot of the vintage guitars are priceless due to the names attached to them (played by famous musicians) but I feel as though the only people willing to buy them are doing so for sentimental reasons.

>$500,000

>>127420960
zoomer guitarists don't use real amps and their tone doesn't matter to them since it's all digital anyway
of course they won't give a shit about some 70 year old instrument because "muh old wood" or whatever nonsense boomers believe
zoomers are all playing mexican made fenders

>>127420962

>>127420960
Even if I were rich I wouldn't want to play a valuable guitar because I wouldn't want to devalue it

Been writing a lot of songs lately about the tranny I fell for who ghosted me
Just thought you all should know this, it's been great creative fuel but regrettably it also made me an alcoholic

>>127420960
a 59 les paul is not worth 500k because it's a 59 les paul made from old growth mahogany that doesn't exist anymore and handwound pickups with hide glue
it's worth 500k because jimmy page plays one. it's worth 500k because peter green, paul kossoff, eric clapton, keith richards, etc. played one
if these names were not attached to these guitars, they'd be mildly interesting vintage instruments that probably go for 20k but not 500k
remember, until keith richards played one for the first time gibson couldn't give these guitars away. they were considered shitty jazz guitars and gibson discontinued them almost a decade previously

can you guys give me some recs for bass voice singer/songwriters. my natural speaking voice is F#2 and i feel like giving up on singing. i can hit notes within 5-10 cents after a few weeks of practice but im frustrated that my voice register doesn't fit my favorite songs and it makes me wants to give up

>>127421014
This, LPs are going to tank way more than the other big vintage names.

Is that a no?

>>127421073
where is the lie, pussy? zoomers do not use real amps, and they don't use expensive instruments
millennials are almost 40 and 15 years into their careers, they can afford nice gear

Hey schizo here, started risperdone again so I wont be around for long, gonna go get my shit together and finally live my life, good luck to you all

>>127421068
is it too late? i'm 35. not saying im as good but imagine bing crosby when he goes into his bass voice. waylon jennings is all that comes to mind but he's still several steps higher than me

>>127421097
>MUUHHHH REAL AMPS
Who gives a fuck? They're playing music and they'll experiment with better shit when they're able to.

>>127421149
spotted the salty zoomer plugging his guitar into his phone

well, I caved in and bought more Squierslop
upgraded it with Seymour Duncan Strat pickups; I thought I'd bought true single coils but turns out they're the double stack humbucker kind...
oh well, I'll always have my Fender Strat for the true single coil experience

>>127421248
so it was never about the guitar music, its about the money?
I'll wager I have more money than you too. You're projecting so hard and its sad, you don't need to hide behind the mask here friend we're all simpatico.

I use Peavey amps and Epiphone guitars

yes, what can I say, I love 'stangs
the idea was to have one HH and one SS, but uh...
probably when I get free time again what I'll do is route some actual pickup switches into the red one, and then I'll wire those switches for coil splitting (currently the screws are bolted directly to the guitar and the switch holes just have black tape under them haha)

>>127422462
Is 6 too much then?

>>127422459
Don’t like it at all. Same with the Musicmaster and other 1 pickups.

>>127422669
No, it's a good price for a MIJ. The mods just explain why. The hardware itself is probably worth a little, too. I have no idea, but the vibrato looks like it would have needed extra routing, compared to a 50s Strat, like that one looks to be modeled after. The shredder appliances are very out-of-place, and the string lock could probably be removed without much fuss, but the vibrato might have been a no-going-back decision.
It all depends on if you like it.

>>127422959
>replace it?
It would mostly depend on if it worked well, sounded good, clunked/rattled/buzzed or had dead strings/notes, and could be reversed with minimal effort. Maybe it sounds amazing, maybe it sound like hot garbage.

Roxy and Elsewhere, that might have been from 1974 I think. Or you could just go through the You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore -compilations

>>127423491

Depends what kind of tabs. On published tabs with proper markings it usually shows what notes are what - but if you have a crude ascii text file, you have to rely on your ears pretty much.

Any Strat buffs here? I am looking to purchase a MIJ Strat from the early 80s but the neck says Made In USA.
I'm assuming Japan imported the necks from the US at the beginning of their production, because the headstock serial number matches the serial number also printed in the neck pocket.
Is this legit or some finna scam?

how much is that in the metric system

I'm a sucker for these lessons where some guy is autistically obsessive about a particular guy's style like Van Halen, Yngwie, or Greg Howe and teaches the nuances of their playing. Like Chris Brooks (Yngwie), TomShreds (Yngwie, Van Halen), and Introspection Academy (Greg Howe), and maybe to a lesser degree Hristo Vitchev (Pat Metheny). Anybody know of any other good ones? I guess TexasBluesAlley does SRV focused stuff too. YouTube's been shilling some guy's "Play Like Slash" course to me and I'm not really sold, personally, but I'm always interested in this kind of thing.

>>127424306
Oh yeah, Andy Paoli is another good one for SRV material.

That’s a System 1 vibrato, that’s factory on some 1980s MIJ Squiers. That isn’t modded by him, that’s stock. That Strat would be called a Contemporary Standard from the MIJ E series, not to be confused with modern Squiers that also have the Contemporary Standard name. There were a handful of different vibratos on those guitars over the years in the 1980s, that System 1 was designed and built by Schaller and was used only in 1985 through the end of 1986 so that Strat is from one of those two years.

>>127425213
Oh and for what it’s worth that locking bar above the nut is often missing and is impossible to find replacements for, so it’s cool that it’s present there.

>>127423962
Without pics it’s hard to tell. There are some joint Japan/USA guitars from the 1980s. When the Corona plant started up in the mid 1980s there were some parts sent from Japan and used to help them begin making guitars, I’ve seen a few MIA guitars with MIJ necks from that era but not the other way around. In the late 1980s there was a year or two of USA made Squire guitars and some of those also had some MIJ parts, so for a guitar in the 1980s having both USA and MIJ parts it isn’t unheard of, although it’s more likely USA using MIJ parts rather than MIJ using USA parts. Fender Japan had no need to use USA parts, they already had been making full copies of Fender guitars before Fender partnered make them to make them under license. Again without more pics though it’s hard to tell, it’s totally possible someone just swapped necks.

>>127421159
Maple board Mustang, nice. Which model/line is this one?

>>127422087
Mine would probably be a OG White Falcon. I can afford any modern guitar I’d want including a custom shop, so I would go big, like a White Falcon.

yup, that's exactly it, cheapo $200 Sonic. the pickguard is aftermarket, one of the MIJ style ones from musiclily; took some modification to get it on (really just drilling a hole for the selector and then making new screw holes in the guitar body)

>>127425622
Nice, I have one as well the older Bullet HH and I would say that the Sonic is noticeably nicer across the board. Aside from some sharp fret ends which were and easy clean up, it sounds and feels better than most other Squiers do compared to their Fender counterparts. I have heavy Martin acoustic strings on my Sonic and keep it tuned down to C for Kyuss and other heavier riffs and that little fucker holds tuning better than some of my fender offsets. The Sonic line has been very impressive from what I’ve played so far, I also have a Sonic P bass and the quality makes me want to try a Sonic Tele from at some point. Did you mention routing out the red Sonic? If so, consider putting a P90 at the bridge, I’d do that and maybe put a hotrail in the neck of mine if I didn’t have more pressing projects at the moment.

>find a gibson I like
>I am cheesed to meet them
>it does gibson finish things

Gibson.
Not even once.

And the rest of my Mustangs. At least one will be getting a hotrail in the bridge and likely the neck as well, maybe JB Jr in the bridge and HR in the neck. Just a matter of which one. I kinda like the single coils in the blue Vintera so I’m leaning towards the MG73 for my JB/HR Stang..

Mustangs are based

>>127425901
I was thinking about routing actual switches into it so I can split the coils, but after doing more research on the pickups I bought, it seems like the neck one is an actual proper single coil... which would explain the hum I hear from it.
weird thing is, the bridge IS a double stack but it has hum too; in fact even the middle position on the 3-way switch has hum.
probably I wired something wrong? I'm still a rookie with the electronics side of it. could also be something about the polarity or whatever, I think I was supposed to put a middle pickup down there rather than a bridge one?
idk, it sounds good regardless, I may likely just leave it as is.

>>127426370
They’re memed a lot in both directions. They’re fine. They’re not as shit and gay as one side but they’re not the best thing since sliced bread on the other side. They’re a basic Fender originally marketed as a budget guitar. That doesn’t mean they’re bad. It’s just another guitar from Fender with its own quirks. There is zero reason to buy one over a Stratocaster or a Telecaster unless you’ve already got those.

I think youre just retarded and poor.

Just saw this posted with great pride on the offset subreddit… JFC, when I see stuff like this it’s hard to fathom ever being able to redeem offsets from the crowd that has given them the rep they have.

>>127426726
they were literally designed to be cheap instruments

>>127426732
>t.

>>127426732
This right here is the reason I don’t play my offsets in public. I love playing them and I play them while recording, but I don’t want to be lumped with this crowd if I’m seen gigging with one.
>>127426749
Yeah, they were literally designed to be the very first mass produced solid body electric guitar. That’s about as budget as you can get.

>>127426732
why are you browsing reddit at all

>>127426726
Lol no. They were made to be as cheap and interchangeable as possible. That's not a bad thing and they made some solid guitars, but they've always been the Kia of the guitar world

Researched some room acoustics today and backing track speakers/amp positioning, very productive day, and also physical. I played standing up for what felt like two hours in preparation for a short birthday jam, shit was so cash. I'll have you know I crushed it, probably need to run an ice bath.

I got a chinese amazon guitar as a beater. Pickups are hot dogass but also showing hot on resistance levels at about 8.5k neck and 16.4k bridge.
Instead of just replacing/re-soldering, would replacing the ceramic with an alnico V bar make them not sound like dog ass?

Zip ties in that case, dual lock is all but permanent when used with normal loop tape as well. Using dual lock on another piece of dual lock is manageable though. But I've had it peel the paint off the bottom of pedals before coming off of my board many times, which is why I like it. The pedals aren't going anywhere while bouncing around in the trailer.

Phil mcknight, landon, and some random buff zoomer tested and all the post 2022 guitars come with hot ceramic PAF koreabuckers.
They honestly are dogass though, I have to crank my mid to max on my amp for either pickup to get something passable, playing more than one note at a time on the bridge will cause it scream and mud out. Good 500k pots and caps in there from what I saw. Everyone generally just replaces the pups but I'm hard pressed finding any decent sets on ebay for less than 130$, I might ask a local guitar tech if he has any scrap epi probuckers if the alnico Vs don't work out
