What's with the toilet OPs? The last thread had a toilet in the OP too.
toilets are usually the most expensive piece of gear a /gg/ poster has
do you think in 3 or 4 days when the next /gg/ gets posted it'll have a potty op too?

why my bass sound so farty
voca.ro
its like someones just blasting my face full force with a fart

hair blown back eyes watering sulfuric hot fart

a bit too much overdrive and possibly too much mids. What is your bass and where are you plucking the strings
humid and luscious creamy and heady farts

ibanez gio right over the pickups
Thoughts?
back pickups towards the bridge? it adds a lot of mids to the sound. drop the overdrive first and if it’s still farty, cut the mids or roll off the bridge pickup
Thoughts on the midtown?
what if we made a cheaper, smaller, shittier 335
a
esl pls
shut the fuck up bitch you don't know anything
they made a 235 or a 325 whatever it was. Idk if that’s what that thing is

I'm not an electrical engineer, but on the face of it, I don't understand what's bad about PCB. Even moreso with non-tube amps and other gear.
The old and new versions of the pedal dont sound the same. Its a matter or preference. But the old version will cost more because of supply and demand. And because this was a cost cutting measure, a lot of peoples natural instincts is to assume theyre getting a worse product.
The fact is youre only getting a slightly different product. But if youre a pedal autist youll likely shill out the money and podsibly feel a deep need to validate your spending.
Honestly if you can afford expensive gear go for it, buy what you can afford / prefer. But for people whos funds are tighter they dont need to be shamed for choosing a comparable option for considerably less money.
But also this general thinks its funny to equate wealth to racial purity, iq, and skill. Which is funny considering much of electric guitar music traces its roots back to blues which primarily came from a lot of poor black people.
A lot of people right now are probably thinking but american (white) made instruments are higher quality! Well when import asian and mexican instruments we are literally doing so just to save on labor costs. Why make a higher quality instrument outside of america; that would defeat the purpose.
Another point id like to add aboust splurging on gear is, eventually with all types of gear you get diminishing returns. The quality can only get so high and it becomes a struggle after a certain point to make a higher quality instrument.
Tbh reminds me of the mini strats. Which i always thought was dumb like, invent a new model with its own identity, this shit fucks with my tism. Because it almost looks like a 335 but not quite so its uncanny.
Do not like.
I'd happily a Mexican made guitar, so long as the materials are good. That's the main kicker. Construction wise, they've been at it so long they know what they're doing very well. Same with Japan. And now Korea. One of these days, the cheaper places companies use now (Indonesia, Vietnam, etc) will get on the level of Korea too.
How does every here feel about dedicated student models as opposed to making cheaper versions of the same models for beginners (and the economically less fortunate)
Personally im glad this shit was abandoned because i think its autistic to lock certain designs behind paywall thresh holds. Granted we did get the lpj and stuff like that out of this but at the same time those had every right to be their own high quality instruments crafted with as much love and care
Gibson QC issues in currentyear, fact or fiction? If fact, which brand will offer similar sound and neck feel to the Gibson solidbodies?
Heritage, Collings, and yes, PRS
(McCarty) to name a few... and you're still going to pay up the ass either way.
You could also buy an older gibson from before the qc issues were a thing.
You dont have to buy brand new
True.
Brand new, Heritage is the most affordable of the bunch.. and the only guys who are allowed to make an exact LP shape afaik. Good thing about Gibson is you can test them in just about any city.
I am more likely to do this. I was looking for something in the Les Paul Studio pricerange, being a beginner relearning the little I could do over a decade ago, paying double that for a McCarty is a bit of a diamonds before swine sitch. I can probably cough up the cash, but will I rrally be able to appreciate it?
Nice.

He has a lot of guitars.
Speaking of Gibson copies, I know he was into the Yahama SG-2000. Which was a great Gibson-like. Kind of. It had a brass piece down the middle.
Those aren't cheap anymore either.
SG-1000 and SG-2000, rather.
