Post #1
Welcome to the guitar thread. New month. New thread. Everything related to guitar and bass guitar goes here to not clutter up our poor music section.
Here's my stuff:
-
-
I just got a DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion and a DiMarzio PAF DP-103 36th Anniversary for my Fender Special Edition Jaguar HH, thoughts?
-
i may prefer my fender jazz but this Ibanex SRX430 my brother gave me after ppacking up playing is pretty cool. It's got those big fat pickups I like the look of so much, and it looks great in white with a black pickguard
-
I use DiMarzio PAF-7's and I think they sound unbelieveable
I know a few people with the DiMarzio DP100 super distortions and they love them.
DiMarzio has always been my choice pick anyway
-
Put a DP100 into my Sterling last night, but I messed something up because it sounds like a single coil at the moment haha. The pickup was in another guitar, and the wiring was a mess, so I am guessing a wire is in contact with another wire that it's not supposed to be. I think they might be out of phase.
-
So I'm looking for a bass. Something I can gig with but I won't break the bank. Doesn't have to sound fucking incredible, i'll be playing pop to agressive pop punk stuff mostly. Anyway, a quick search found these two things.

Sent off emails asking about both. Thoughts?
-
I don't recognize that Bass, but judging from the price tag alone, it's probably complete shit.
-
Johnson's are utter pieces of shit.
YMMV but you do get what you pay for. Carlsbro's aren't too bad amps in my experience, but I wouldn't expect much from the bass, regardless of the fluff in the description
-
OK fuck the bass then. I can trust carlsboros. They always sound decent. Quite annoyed that I found one that I'd used before and know well was for sale for like £45 but is about 200 miles away. Back on the hunt.
-
I looked at the other listings on gumtree for your location, there's an Aria for £140 and Aria are pretty respectable.

Ugh, I need to buy pickup covers again.
I know I'm the only guy who thought triple shots were a good idea, but they're crap. The switches wear out real easily and installing them is a cunt.
-
well the super distortion is the best pickup ever made so you've done well
Edited:
though mine is kind of on the noisy side but it adds character I guess
-

Think I might go for this amp, I've played one before and remember it being good. DI output, always good.
Back on a bass hunt.
-
For some reason whenever I touch the strings on my bass, I feel a little bit of electric shock... any idea on what's causing this/how to stop it?
-
There are quite a few mexican jazz's on ebay, some quite low prices. I've played one, really enjoyed it. Any else used one?
-
I gig a Mexican jazz as my secondary bass. It's great.
-
The Triple Shot is a good idea in theory. I suppose being the first of it's kind there's gonna be some teething problems but it is an interesting concept. On saying that I'd much rather have an obvious if slightly unsightly switch on the main portion of my guitar I guess
-
Could be some wiring problem inside, the grounds I think.
Check what your amp is plugged into, and if the cable is good. It can be somewhat dangerous. I'm not a electrical wizard, though.
-
Might be something wrong with your amp
-
You may also just generate a lot of static for some reason and are discharging yourself through your bass's ground?
-
Hah.
I'm just feeling kinda shit about this because it's more money into a guitar when, if I knew better in advance, I could have avoided what I've done to it in the interim and bought a new guitar with the money saved.
-
Everybody makes mistakes. I blew nearly £600 on the entirely wrong amp for me. Ended up flipping it a year later for half that. Look on it as an investment in knowledge :)
-
open that shit up
-
-
I fucking hate gibson but goddamn I love everything about this guitar
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guita...lectric-guitar
and it's on sale
-
That's a Gibson even I would like.
Thank god I have no money
Talking about Gibsons I like:
-
do you guys prefer thicker necks or thinner necks?
-
I prefer thick necks when the neck is narrow and the other way around.
-
that's a cheapo gibson as well, low low price of $400 for a starter gibson!
-
I like both, but there good thin necks and bad thin necks, and the same for thick ones
-
Thick necks! The huge C cut is where it's at.
-
Thin necks are so much easier to play technical shit on imo.
-
I fixed my shocking problem by sitting down with my bass amp and telling it my feelings.
(actually... I kicked it a few times and wiggled the chord on the back until it got it's shit together)
-
thin necks just hurt my wrist.
-
I'd love to order the amber one with a tailpiece (currently only a blue one available) and with some warranty attached. I want to live in the US.
-
Joining music forum with this post. I got a Stagg knockoff strat that's pretty awesome for 200 bucks and a line 6 spider 15 amp. Also, C necks are my favorite.
-
God damn it. Tosin Abasi announced an Australian clinic tour, and initially announced an Adelaide date. Now Ibanez have posted the official schedule and suddenly Adelaide is gone. No explanation either.
Why does everyone have to insist that Adelaide does not exist and its inhabitants are far less important than the rest of Australia?
-
with an MSRP of $829
I don't care how ignorant I may be where do they get the idea they can charge what they do
Edited:
my rg and destroyer are 19mm at the 1st fret and 21mm at the 12th and my as103 is 20mm at the 1st and 26.5mm at the 12th
I like both for different reasons but I think if I could have one that was like 23 the entire length would be cool
-
Collectors overvalued everything, since more buyers than just musicians creates more demand than was originally reasonable. That combined with price stickiness and the fact that you can always mark stuff down at retail made it permanent. When you're selling shit that's overpriced by magnitudes you need to inflate stated prices to at least give the product a semblance of being a "deal", that's where that originally comes from, and it's easier to keep a consistent brand image as being high-end if you keep that practice up across the board. That's why you have a separate brand for the reasonably priced stuff.
Guns are the same way, actually.

Thinking of buying a bass guitar, never played the guitar before, zero experience. What do you guys think of this?
