Gibson make worse guitars with worse quality control than other high-end guitar manufacturers, only gibsoomers will deny this.
what kind of sucker buys this guitar?
Dean is where it's at.
Their QC lets through some things like tool marks and finishes, but the vast majority are really playable. If you've taken one and played it (without a bitter, preconceived notion that will poison your perception), they are very nice to play if you like low action, and their fret work (in terms of level for playability) is actually way above average in the industry (actually better than Fender, who hide it by having a much higher action).
Consoomers are those who want to buy a 'flawless' guitar and send them back for a tool mark without actually playing it.
>paying stupid money for a guitar
>"its fucked up, oh well"
retard
Tf are people actually still arguing over which amp is the best when Bias FX can give you any tone to perfection for $200?
Gibsons aren't stupid money, and slight tool marks don't fuck it up, especially after you play a guitar for a while it'll get dinged and scuffed from general use.
Bad frets and necks do though.
thats great for practice and recording, but having a laptop onstage seems pretty unreliable
wireless guitar chord, interface and laptop backstage with the tech, seems pretty reliable. you could literally play death metal then folk after 1 second without tweaking anything, just clicking on the other saved preset.
>its okay to be fucked up because y-you'll do it anyway!
you buy your cars pre-wrecked too, right?
What pickup would you put in a Epi SL? im thinking GFS hot rails and a noiseless strat pu in the neck pos.
>wrecked
That's the point, they're not. It's like a bit of mud on it from driving to the dealership.
Bad frets/neck is like needing an engine job straight out, which you will get with shitplanks.
so you'd have a tech hunched over with a mouse backstage?
also, wouldn't latency be shit?
Got my cheap guitar link working today boys, so fun just fucking around in reaper. Gonna get a scarlet solo eventually. This one is ok but it gets noisy fast if you get greedy. Is there a way to just make my headphones monitor volume louder without actually raising volume on the track and therefore getting closer to clipping etc? I'm new, please be patient. My headphones are maxed in windows 10 but i cant figure out how to listen at loud volume in Reaper without increasing all the noise and shit.
to clarify, my headphones CRANK youtube and stuff fine really loud.
>so you'd have a tech hunched over with a mouse backstage?
the tech would just have to click on the other preset, and that's if you where to play death metal, then folk, imagine the amount of tweaking the tech has to do when switching to acoustic and adjusting the physical guitar pedals.
>also, wouldn't latency be shit?
I have an entry level interface, around $100, and a pretty average laptop, like $1100, and there is absolutely no recognisable latency to the human ear.
>lets get some mud spread on my brand new ferrari, hell yeah
im done, man
>$1100 pretty average laptop
>tech just to click shit
okay, rockstar
how would you switch effects live, aka midsong?
FUCK OFF SHROOM
YOU POSTED THAT DEF MEEDL SHIT IN THE OTHER THREAD
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
REEEEEE
DONT TAKE GG PLEASE
ITS ALL I HAVE LEFT
>okay, rockstar
wtf is this seething about? I'm not a rockstar, nor did I say anything that would even hint at me implying that, WTF?
>how would you switch effects live, aka midsong?
idk what you mean by that, do you mean stuff like wah pedals (which sound shit anyway)? You would just have to get a physical wah pedal. Also, If you where to switch between acoustic to distorted, that's easily programmable into bias FX. If you badly wanted that to be physical, then you could get a physical distortion pedal. But for most songs, Bias FX is the best option.
hot rails.
why not mod it and put normal hummies in there?
i meantif youd turn on a digital pedal or preset midsong for a different section (clean to distortion, or different effects on a solo)
>wahs suck
okay bud
>i meant if youd turn on a digital pedal or preset midsong for a different section (clean to distortion, or different effects on a solo)
That is easily programmable if you wan to time it, but if your soo involved for example a few notes wah and a few notes phaser ect, you could get the tech to do that or, again, have it programmed to automatically do that.
>okay bud
That's just my opinion, wahed shredding sounds kind of shitty to me rather than just pure shredding.
I dont want to route the body, it can only fit singles.
>if your soo involved
*if your solo involved I meant
are jackson guitars cringe?
>playing to a backing / click track
gotta love the live energy
i'll just pay way more for a helix or kemper
80s and 90s MIJ/USA jacksons? no
current FMIC indian shit. yes.
can and will you shred?
if yes, then no, they aren't cringe
Well, If you don't like the pedal options, you can have physical ones, but my original point was that it's better than amps, because you don't need to buy many amps for different effects, you can create any guitar tone better than the actual amps can, for less than the price of a half decent cab and head, imagine paying for every good amp for every different guitar tone.
i can't imagine that, that would be crazy, haha
i planned on going digital anyway
too bad not every place has a PA
>i can't imagine that, that would be crazy, haha
yes. It would. Unless you're a rockstar.
Never give your money to gibson. either buy use or just get one of these
guess the song
its meant to be in E standard
this is sam dont click
im the nigga u said this to yesterday
i am not sam, i just got my cheap interface working
as you can hear from the recording :D
this is sam trying to trick you into clicking. dont
post pedalboards, i need inspiration
make one on bias fx
just started messing around for the first time in years now my phone doesn't recognize fingerprint
what do?
i use bias amp 2 with real pedals actually
Who cares what these faggots think.
High volume = more fun.
This is objectively true and we all know this.
But I'm going fucking deaf with my amp's volume set to 3. Do you guys wear plugs when riffing around?
>gets a performance car to keep it covered in the garage, not for driving on a track or even the road
ok
do i sound flat
voca.ro
I didn't even know that was a guitar.
The boomers who buy them are too afraid of them losing value lmao
Is there a way to play bass with a guitar through guitar rig?
>voca.ro
>download a metronome
>sit down
>practice
you'd be surprised
>Fender releases the Lead II and Lead III
>Lead III seems more up my alley because humbuckers with coil tap
>Order one through Guitar Center for store pickup
>Tracking goes cold for a week because UPS is shit, finally get the email that it's arrived
>My GC is a state away, road trip
>Get my Fender box and go back home
>Open it up, It's a Lead II
>Try and fuck around with it, single coils are too loud, decide to take it back
>Road trip 2
>Give it back, make them order me a Lead III
>Lead III comes at the end of that week
>Road trip 3
>Open the box in store this time to confirm it's actually what I ordered
>See the "Lead III" on the headstock and the finish I wanted through the packing foam
>Success, go home
>Plug it in
>Bridge humbucker is humming like a slave
>Fuck with the coil tap switch, nothing changes
>Neck humbucker works and taps as intended, bridge one isn't connected up properly and only works as a single coil
I JUST WANT A FUCKING HUMBUCKER IN THE BRIDGE FOR DISTORTED TONES, WHY THE FUCK CAN'T SHIT JUST WORK
Whammy pedal, -1 octave or -2 if you're so Djent that you shit Deenerneeners
I would want p90s for sure, then its a cheap LP special, although you might have to make a new pickguard for it
if you don't want to route from then go with and put hot rails in.
So ive realized months after having learned barre chords and forgetting about them, i cant play the a shape variation, my hand instinctively goes for the major 7 shape, and trying to barre those three strings is impossible with one finger for me and using 3 is too crowded and requires a painful amount of bending. plus both results in tonnes of unneccesary muting
Am i just being retarded? i remember being able to do this but now i think i might just have done it wrong then forgotten about it
