That's really interesting. I was looking at some Jazzmaster style pups for bass at Mojo pickups and was wondering why scatter wound was a selling point.

I can't remember if I've shared this before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U423WJ-Nqeo I like the song and I dig her minimalist bluesy style. But more than anything, I love that guitar. Its a Schorr 'The Future', from a dude in Berlin, I believe. He does these beautiful art deco-y guitars that often have pick-ups on slide rails, so you can move them back and forth. I really like seeing someone do something interesting with a guitar.

havelock posted:It also helps to really know the guitar part - it's not quite playing on autopilot, but it can't require your full concentration or else you'll have nothing left to think about words. I taught myself to sing and play bass using Come Together. The riff is fun and the vocal melody is pretty basic, so it allowed me to concentrate on the interactions of the rhythms, which to me is the hard bit. It's not a skill I'm brilliant with, largely because I don't have anyone to play with so it doesn't get much practice.

I was flicking through the Cash Converters website (which is an Australian chain pawn shop) and saw one of these: which is a Parker P-36. I'd be really interested to know who they'd be marketing a Teleparker to...

Not me, I've being to ascertain what year this Ibanez not-EB-3 is from: https://www.cashconverters.com.au/shop/music-tv-video/musical-instruments/guitars-string-instruments/electric-guitar/016900176038 Though some idiot seems to have moved the jack to the front and ditched the little string cover from between the pickups.

800peepee51doodoo posted:I've been half seriously considering ordering a custom build from Dunable. I've never played a Dunable guitar but they look extremely sick. Im sure that looking extremely sick is really all that matters in a guitar right? I dunno, let's ask Jeff Matz of High On Fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y1XHuLCtBQ (The answer is yes. I don't particularly like High On Fire, but this is what I imagine I'd look like if I had a sick Dunable bass. Less beard and hair, though. Probably more gut.)

landgrabber posted:any musician/band who sues another for using a similar melody or chord progression in a song with much different lyrics and form is awful and killing the form. for reasons we’ve all discussed a million times. I always love hearing the stories behind classical music because it's often 'heard someone play a cool melody somewhere, ripped it off and made it into a sonata/fugue/symphony'.

landgrabber posted:here's a weird issue: i really want something with p90s for the Single Coil Guitar, but i actually can't find something that's both cool and comfortable. I don't know if you get Artist Guitars in the US, but their Jazzmaster knockoff actually has P90's. I think the Harley Benton JM is the same guitar, just rebranded. So offset, but P90's.

Does anyone have opinions on Firebird pups vs humbuckers in general? I'm looking at hot-rodding an inexpensive guitar and want to go H/P90, but not sure what type of H.

darkwasthenight posted:There have been some bad reissues but Firebirds are super bright - almost like a hot single coil. Medium output and not a huge amount of bass response. They're the same housing as mini hums but using bar magnet construction rather than screw pole piece. Huh, Young's "Old Black" has had an interesting history. That might be what I'm after. Then I found this dude with p90/Foil and now I don't know again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0A3mVhbLUk

Its 3am and it took me a while to realise that this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWF_6Nu6MI is not the Loveless you were talking about. I watched it for a couple minutes waiting for the noise to kick in. I've been listening to drone metal with my 18mo at naptime and thought maybe I'd given myself 'noise brain' too.

You can probably find their 1994 album Weirdo on YouTube, which I think is their best stuff. The single, Karaoke, is one of my favourite songs ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKJ8vJl-a7Y

landgrabber posted:i played boys don't cry in a guitar store just now and an older couple, baffled, asked me if i was playing the cure. i said yes and they said "that's good you should keep doing that" Maybe it wasn't so much that you, a young person, knew about the Cure, but more you were trying out guitars in a store by playing the Cure. I can't imagine many people would associate 'the Cure' with 'trying out guitars in a store'.

Probably set up that way so that the high strings have similar volume to the low strings. You can adjust it by tightening or loosening the two screws that aren't directly under a string.
