Fax Sr posted:i'm not even convinced that having a set neck or neck-thru guitar is any better than an inexpensive bolt-on. plus repairs are easier with a bolt-on. only matters on bass. guitar is way more forgiving  ugly as hell. yeah, i own one

Harry in Rio posted:i've got a good friend with sort of a similar story. ed overcharges, is a complete narcissist, won't shut the gently caress up, ever, and wants to chip in his two cents, no matter what the freakin' topic is. guitar is butt ugly but if you like the sound and feel it Does Not Matter plus it's cool ugly not sperg ugly so if your halfway attractive you can probably pull it off

drunk asian neighbor posted:A little late, but no need ot justify the purchase, man. those basses always have great action. i'm a split-pickup purist, but you're not going to find one on a 5 string in that price range. best thing you could get that suits your needs, there still ugly tho the curvy shiny smooth bodies are what alien poop looks like

on the one hand that 60th anniversary telecaster with the laquer finish did sound noticeably better than the polyurethane ones on the other hand fender american standards sounded like poo poo before the 2012 pickup upgrade, so the competition was pretty weak

for sure that's a Tim Armstrong Hellcat deluxe, solid mahogany top laminate mahogany back and sides. i'm not a big fan of fender acoustics generally but i like this one. no cutaway on an acoustic electric, and that's a magnetic pickup so it still sounds acoustic plugged in but there's less feedback and distorted it sounds halfway decent. $450 with hardcase included there's three common wood configurations to acoustics, spruce top mahogany back and sides is most common, which has a punchy midrange (lots of G and B strings in the tone, spruce top with rosewood next which has fuller lows and sweeter highs, expensive ones can get a really cool boom if you hit it right, and this one mahogany top with mahogany back and sides has a more even response, kind of a smoky, mellow flavour to the tone. it's great for vocal accompaniment

a retard posted:exactly. the most important things in sounding good are (in descending order) skill/technique, amp, and pickup this is true, but i disagree that all the other stuff doesn't matter at all. i work in a store, and A/B stuff all the time, and different guitars from the same line can sound very different even before you get into ash vs alder, maple vs rosewood fretboard, all sorts of different things. i actually dislike block inlays because i do think it affects.... something.

that makes a lot of sense. my go-to story is that 60th anniversary telecaster, stock USA standard except for the laquer finish.. but i'd bet the QC was loads better besides thumpo both of those are awesome ugly. kilhamster sorry but uncentered fretmarkers are ugly ugly

different amps for different applications, imo a $2000+ amp is justified if you're regularly drawing 150 people or so at gigs. if you don't draw, f*ck it just be loud enough over the drummer

Ibanez and Fender both make decent stuff between $200-$300. Ibanez necks are a little more comfortable, fenders sound a little better

ashgromnies posted:in terms of popular 90s bands I have to say NIN and smashing pumpkins and nirvana are all really amazing aw poo poo so NIN is forgettable because big black, killing joke, and nick cave exist. smashing pumpkins have like 5 good songs but that's commendable, i'm talking disarm and porcelina because zero is superceded by the one song RATM kept making. nirvana is good because swap meet is good enough to justify a career, they turned me on to the pixies, and steve albini produced in utero and any road that leads there can't be all bad. Pearl jam is a good 90s band if you lived through it and the afghan whigs are the #1 90s band in existence the melvins are good because they inspired drone metal, the one good kind of metal edit: nirvana also gets points for being remembered, a 11 yo girl i teach was all pumped up i could teach her smells like teen spirit including the part after the chorus and the solo. but for a band of young dumb assholes, playing music simple yet interesting enough that its practically inviting kids to pllay it, blink 182 is better mclast fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Jan 12, 2014 |

i was really, really into Primus in highschool. Seen them a handful of times when Herb rejoined the band in between '04 and '06, and the Fancy Band once (bass, drum, percussion, sitar, saxophone - their cover of Shine On You Crazy Diamond was pretty alright). he's been getting more and more into the jamband scene for over a decade now, and i saw Primus with jay layne at a festival a few years ago and it was like seeing an old girlfriend, 'oh, nice, you're still alive and that's good. welp bye' relatedly i fuckin love your av 3rd street residents guy
