Flight over Rio edition.
/gg/ - Guitar and Bass General
First for Hittman
I’ve really fallen for this Super Sonic. I love the feel of the 24” scale and narrower Japanese style nut. One of the nicest feeling necks I’ve played in a long time. Gonna replace the pots and go from the current two volumes to a volume and tone and gonna stick some Bill Lawrence L90s in for more of a lower output sound (huge thank you to the anon who suggested those a few weeks ago), and I’m thinking about routing out some of the body for a separate switch for coil splits just because I don’t really like push-pull pots. It makes me really want a Mustang and/or a Jaguar just because of the narrower Japanese short scale neck, particularly a Mustang just because they’re so light.

one of my mentors said I should record my practice so here's my warm up
Nice dude
Well I ordered the Tele from Sweetwater, first time buying a non-ebay guitar online
Best strings for semi-hollow body?
t. asked /gg/ before but forgot
Same as solid...unless you're playing jazz and want flatwounds.
I've tried two types of Thomastik strings on a hollowbody. The Thomastik BeBop (roundwound) 11-47 were horrible. I'd only read praise about them but it was impossible to intonate my guitar in any playable way with them. Maybe they were too light for a hollowbody, dunno. Then I thought yolo, I'll put them on my acoustic. Same thing, no intonation whatsoever, and as a plus they also sounded horrible acoustically.
After that I put Thomastik Swing (flatwound) 12-50 on the hollowbody and those at least intonated normally.
it's the strings' fault i can't do setups
What is a good guitar and amp for 80s hard rock and metal?
good guitar
Any super strat, Jackson, Charvel, Fender
good amp
JCM800 with an SD-1
retard questions: for someone who has never held a real guitar in their life, how difficult is it to learn to play well enough for music production (not live performance)? Are there textbooks that are actually worth it, or is it a bunch of bullshit like how it is for keyboards and music theory? Are the sub-200 dollar starter guitars OK for this or are they shit products aimed at children and howies?
almost everyone played the jcm800 or modded plexis chasing eddie's sound.
but even JCM 800 doesn't have enough gain on its own. unless its modified you have to use a pedal in front of it
I have a archtop and was honestly shocked that these things only work with fat strings. Literally impossible to intonate with 10s or you have to literally have to change the position of the bridge because i rn out of space for the saddle adjustment.
I also replaced the wood bridge on my jazz archtop with an adjustable tune-o-matic. Its beyond me how people intonate floating bridges otherwise, its nuts to rearrange that shit ever time unless you glue it to the body
Are there any issues with the '65 Twin Reverb from 2010s?
it's gonna be real fuckin loud
Loud enough to drown out drums?
yes
wah jcm800 doesn't have enough gain
wah jcm900 doesn't sound like a plexi and there are diodes
uses ds-1
guitarists really are like this
My favourite amp tone doesn’t even come from tube apparently
why do i keep getting connection errors. it won't let me post images and captcha barely loads
Sounds like you could get JCM tones without any pedals through one of the Iconic 5150s. Half the price too.
youtube.com
People who still play 100 watt tops are the dumbest off the dumb.
I mean the higher gain 80s JCM tone with pedals...except you don't need pedals with the modern 5150 EL34.
Why
Anytime there's a melody being played up and down the strings, is it always just a chord being arpeggiated?
No
dumbest off the dumb.
Looking for guitar solos that can be easily sung
this book will make me a better bass player right?
He's so good
Dumb looking guitar. Trying too hard to look different, but just ends up looking like all of the fender product line mashed together. Dumb
For me, it’s Ian Thornley
its really bizzare
Wild Side of Life or any other song that doubles the vocal melody

With a title like that, I believe it.
