but playing with ultra high action feels like poo poo why would you want that

the only real advantage would be almost no friction when you do vibrato. otherwise you just bought one because it looks cool or seemed like a novel idea. just like any guitar weirdness

Yo, I hate these songs because the mixing is loving awful and there's nothing clever about them.

I showed it to a professional jazz musician the first song and she said "It's the most boring song you've ever showed me"

But if you really want to see ugly basses you can just GIS 'custom bass' because bass players are the loving worst.

iostream.h posted:

They're not, even their SE line has incredible build quality. The whole 'pre-94' thing is by and large a myth. Current production models are easily comparable in quality to the best of whatever Fender and Gibson produce from their custom shops and are extremely consistent from one guitar to the next, which NO other manufacturer can touch.

Love it when somebody makes a statement like that and undeniable proof gets posted shortly after. :allears:

Remember kids, your favorite guitarists didn't get famous playing a custom masterwork guitar made out of rare tonewoods by an 80 year-old luthier living in a cave on the side of a remote mountain. They got famous playing whatever cheap piece of poo poo they could get their hands on when they were starting out. If you're good, you will sound good on anything.

my spoiled first world hands were offended by the guitars I found here in China but it was impossible for me to convince anyone of my greatness if I couldn't even play a whole song without loving up(and blaming the guitar like a little bitch). So instead of buying an expensive name brand, I bought the poo poo everyone else here plays and my finger strength and accuracy are on a whole new level now. I bought a Chinese strat and a knock off pignose and now I kind of prefer the raw sound

even in high school the guys that went on about them were the ones who weren't particularly good players

you'd go to their house and they'd have whatever cheap guitar they could find that reminded them of Clapton and they'd say things like "i just plug up to my little 10w marshall...it's all i ever need" or some poo poo.

I have one of these also, as well as an Epiphone Les Paul. They're both really nice at a quarter of the price or less of the Gibson equivalent. The Les Paul even came with Gibson '57 Classic pickups; I can't imagine why I would ever buy an actual Gibson.

I've played with a lot of bassists over the years and the best players with the best overall sound were always Fender P or Jazz bass guys. The few others that walked in with some kind of Ibanez or carved-top glossy body with exaggerated curves or angles all sounded like garbage.

I'm in bed, posting from Awful app, and generally lazy, so I won't kick this off, but we should be mining the endless resource that is Terrible Guitar Shirts. All guitar shirts qualify.

My first bass was an Ibanez, because I used to think pick guards were for grandpa. I've evolved to the point where anything that isn't Fender-styled or a Ric or possibly a Stingray or Thunderbird makes me barf. This applies to all genres of music, including metal. Major props to the dude from Red Fang for his P Bass.

That's not evolution that's just getting old. Good job grandpa

You'll have to forgive me, I am not musically inclined.

Is that sort of like how on a lot of music nowadays (how it's mastered) if you look at a song's volume level it's just full-bore from start to finish instead of having an appropriate ebb and flow?

it's hard to tell what he was trying to say. he starts off talking about 20 minutes of mustang sally which is excessively long but then goes on to describe how they 'plow through solos' or whatever. plowing through and 20 minutes don't really add up

what bisiticles is really telling us is that he's an old gently caress and doesn't like young whippersnapper bands who don't thrive on bluesy trills or yell "woo!" and take a long break every time the guitarist does a slow bend or a lick. Instead they just, you know, finish the song. blues dads don't like to finish a song. they want an infinite return so they can stand around stroking their necks.

i hear that if you're sufficiently good enough at guitar you can get free poo poo from guitar companies, is this real?

No, you need a management company that has those connections.

My high school and college band tried to get the free poo poo on our own. We played shows and got some fanzine coverage that was really positive so we put together a press kit and wrote to all the companies we could think of. We had organized a small tour and thought we'd be able to get free poo poo to do it with. Marshall was the only ones that responded and it was basically just "thanks for using our equipment<insert Marshall history lesson> and feel free to use our logo on your tour advertisements." We went nuts with that so we just wrote "Marshal presents..." or "Sponsored by Marshall Amplification" on all of the show fliers.
