Till I Can Gain Control Again Chords Lee
… in that location seem to be a bunch of united states. Where are you guys going for a forum these days? At that place used to be i on (I think) Music Radar a while dorsum but they suddenly closed it overnight.
Is it worth starting a thread on here along the lines of the F1 threads for guitarists & bassists to talk shit about gear?

People on hither have recommended the fretboard before.
I'one thousand absolutely non disrespecting those forums, but that industry doesn't seem to motility as apace as the cycling 1 and it's very conservative. I find there are quite a few equivalents of "what tyre" threads.

And I'll probably start a Guitar/Bass thread on here if I can think of a way to kick information technology off.

This is the nearset thing to a guitar/bass gear thread on here:
Guitarists – if you had £500 for something new…
Or it was until at present if this thread takers off. So:
Checking out leboncoin.fr there's a mass of cheap gear for sale at present. When people feel poor selling that guitar/ bass/ ampli they haven't played for a couple of years is an obvious way of raising cash. I accept my eye on an equally new ESP LTD 1000T at 600e but confinement doesn't cease till 11/v so I'll have to be patient before phoning.

Please experience gratuitous to alter the title of the
£500 guitar thread to something less specific, if people desire to keep it going?
I've now spent more that on a guitar, so the title is no longer relevant.* 🙂
Just amend it 'Guitarists of STW' if it helps…..
* £800 on an Ibanez RG550.

Dabbled on and off for a few years on acoustic, then electrical half-dozen string. The electric is a Christmas present I bought for my daughter about 14 years agone. It cost 40 quid and came with a picayune amp. Typical deal basement strat copy. It sounded pretty tinny through the amp but I took it along to a lesson once she'd grown bored of it. In a proper amp it sounded pretty good, so I took information technology to a luthier mate who set it up properly, and I managed to notice a set of vintage fender pickups for it. For a forty quid guitar plus 30 quid for the pickups it plays really well. I also bid on a Digitech GNX 3000 modelling board, and played information technology through that and some headphones for a while.I eventually drifted away equally I was no longer having lessons and had got stalled with it.
Almost 12-18 months ago I started again. I realised what I had lacked was motivation and determination. Getting my head around barre chords meant I started to learn the fretboard properly, and threw myself into learning more theory. I have the Digitech plugged into the PC, play Youtube bankroll track videos and jam forth wearing headphones. I then remembered I had bought an amp, which needed a thorough clean and fettle. That and so prompted me to become a looper pedal, and noodle along to my ain backing.
Can of worms fully opened, I then realised the tracks were missing basslines, and the lockdown pushed me into bidding on a ratty erstwhile Encore 4 bass. It was in grim status when it arrived, but what did I look for fifty quid? I cleaned the crud and gunge off information technology, and ordered a new bridge, nut, screw fix. I've spent a week learning to play it via online lessons, and take now signed up to Fender Play'southward three month deal. Happy days.

I've picked up learning the guitar again during lockdown. Been working my style through the Andy Guitar lesson programme. Been having Zoom lessons with guitar playing mates too.
Rescued my audio-visual from the attic, which I played for a few weeks. I've then bought ane of the Squire Classic Vibe Telecasters…
Posted 1 year ago
When I bought junior his first electrical guitar in 2012 it was one of those butterscotch blond Classic Vibe Teles. After an hour or 2 in the shop information technology was one of those "what's the catch" moments. This guitar is as well finished as any other guitar in the shop up to £1500, plays better than any of them, sounds like a Tele should (his 2012 came with Gotoh tuners and American pickups but mine I bought later came with cheaper tuners and pickups). I buffed the neck with very fine wet and dry out used moisture on mine considering I found the neck sticky with sweaty hands.
He played it until the frets wore flat from all his vibrato and angle and and so I plant a replacement neck made two days subsequently.
An infrequent guitar regardless of cost.

There are some stunners out there at the moment. I'yard stuck away from my kit apart from my ratty shredder (a Mania through neck with Floyd Rose – non actually my style of guitar, merely was cheap S/H) and playing it through a MK2 Korg Pandora or Guitar Rig on the Mac.
I idea "sod it, I've got time at present" so a James Tyler Variax 59 rolled through the door with a bunch of amps and pedals.
The James Tyler is stunningly good. Forget the Variax element – the guitar is congenital in the same Korean manufactory equally the PRS SE models that nosotros get over here and it is pretty faultless apart from the tuners non being quite up to the remainder of the gear in terms of quality.
The serial number says information technology was congenital mid 2022 and all I've done in the week and half since information technology arrive is gradually adjust the truss rod 1/eighth of a turn now and and then. A
Plays similar a dream for me with a big fat cervix but a stunning sculpted neck articulation and pick ups that work well and make clean up a treat when yous drop the volume slightly. I accept a late 90s PRS Artist 22 stoptail and feels pretty shut.
Most impressed with it.

Oh and the standout purchase for me was a Yamaha TRDII10 amp. Establish on inexpensive. The audio is excellent, I tin stream music to it and use my inexpensive eBay wireless and too deeo twek the sounds with the complimentary ap. Plus I tin can wirelessly stream from it to Cubase on my iPad.
Found information technology for £220 new. I know I'm late to this particular party but I tin come across why they are and so pop. It's always around and and then easy to just switch on and play. I don't need any leads or toys.
That's it hiding backside the guitar.
Posted 1 twelvemonth ago
Speaking of amps, I dearest the expect of the Yamaha THR serial just I really want to utilize a looper pedal. If it had an external looper pedal it'd be perfect. Merely you can't use a looper with the Yamaha without sacrificing the wireless (which is one of the main draws).
So what do I want?:
Expert tone for quiet playing or headphones (I play with headphones 95% of the time). I don't need anything loud. Clean tone / crunch / balmy atomic number 82 is all I actually desire. I'm not bothered virtually getting loads of different tones.
FX loop or looper pedal built in
Some sort of line input to jam with YouTube/ Spotify tracks (Bluetooth is OK).
Wireless (except headphones) if possible – I want information technology to be super like shooting fish in a barrel to pick up and play.
Any suggestions?
Fender Mustang GTX would do it but some of the reviews of the sound are pretty scathing. Yamaha every bit above won't do a looper pedal. Katana?
Obvs I only need a Kemper floor pedal…

Buy a looper pedal and go the £35 wireless ready I have. (Down to £30 at the infinitesimal)

Any suggestions for a powerful (150->200W) amp caput that tin practice both guitar and bass? And doesn't cost as well much.
Have got an former Orangish OR120 (putting out virtually 200W according to my amp tech pal who fettled information technology for me) and a bass four×12″ with twin inputs that can handle 400W total.
Wanting to fix a twin head rig for guitar and bass. Have a couple of 15W heads I can pair up for guitar or apply the Orange on its ain, simply the Orange doesn't quite have the oomph for alive bass. So want to pair it with something else – simply that I can too run along with the Orange for guitar at bigger gigs (outdoor etc). A Hiwatt or Marshall Superbass or Major would be cool, but as well expensive. I'yard thinking more <£250. I'd think Sunn Model T but they accept are very £££s now.
Anything out there. Maybe a Trace Elliot or something like that? Or an old Selmer PA head. Or are they really expensive at present?

@superficial I take a fender Mustang GT forty and it sounds pretty good to me despite the tiny speakers. It can't compete with my bassbreaker 007 tube head and cab with a 12″ speaker, but for bedroom levels is fine, and has a headphone jack, and you can utilize your phone to change models etc. you lot demand the foot controller for looping though. The play tricks is to play around with the settings, instead of the mill defaults, and mine is at caput level when I sit down down to play

Thanks a agglomeration mate! Subsequently seeing that Descendant Raw (very nice looking) I went onto Crimson Guitars website and fabricated the error of looking at the Luthiers tools section.
A quick rummage and I found I could get £250 of gear in a basket without trying. So I closed information technology and walked abroad…
Very addictive this tool buying lark.
I like that site, seems to be a lot of adept stuff on in that location.
I'll be checking out his videos after.

@eddiebaby – that Mania is lovely, the birdseye timber is gorgeous, and I do like through-neck guitars with the contrast timber either side.
The James Tyler is a prissy slice of piece of work also, I see what you mean near the neck/body articulation, that's a bit out of the ordinary; I tin can meet a bit of the PRS influence in the body shape as well.
Posted ane year agone
Sorry @eddiebaby, yep I struggle to resist myself. Ben's washed a few builds customizing the kit body and necks they sell which I've been tempted to have a get at building, only with the cost of the tools I would inevitably purchase it is MUCH cheaper to just buy a ready build guitar.

Yup, saw information technology hanging on a pub wall and brutal for it and the rest was history. A great guitar similar my Strat in that I don't motorcar near throwing it into a purse and walking down to a jam night.
No thought what the pretty wood is. Flamed and Birds-centre in the aforementioned piece is a bit weird. Somebody suggested Bubinga but I'yard not sure.It has a solid mahogany centre with healthily tick caps front and rear.
TBH I bought information technology because the through neck reminded me of the Grateful Dead's Alembics from dorsum in the belatedly 60s.

Finished the current edition of the paper yesterday, put the bins out today and its too wet to do much so been playing with the Variax aspect of the James Tyler.
Point ane: Give me a banjo and I end upwardly doing Hayseed Dixie inspired versions of Stairway and More Than A Feeling.
Point two: Acoustics and 12 Strings end upwards as Wanted Expressionless Or Live. Instant DropD makes for stupid solos.
Point 3: Everything with a Sitar morphs into some terrible composite involving Madonna's Cute Stranger. Harmonic Minor scales with drones shortly lead into bagpipe fusion also.
Point iv: three.5 hours of besides much pointless fun. I was supposed to exist trying to improve my music theory.
No Variax tomorrrow!!! Nor the looper.

New Amp Day!!!
Final office of my Line6 masterplan arrived today.
A DT25 two channel 1×12 valve combo. Just the 1 12AX7 in the pre amp and 2 EL84s at the back end but the 12AX7 is voiced by either a HD500 or I tin can use 1 of 30 preamps (iv loadable per channel).
The tone comes from the power stage designed by Reinhold Bogner that lets you run Class A/B or Class A and choose Pentode or Triode configuration, all analog in the power amp and all programmable to match (or otherwise) the pre amp.
They sound groovy and even take a depression ability manner that turns down the valves to sleeping room levels but still uses them for the tone. Never gonna be the same equally blowing air through a cab though.
Lets promise it rains a lot at the weekend equally I don't want any distractions….
Posted 1 yr ago
That Genz Benz won't work. Manner too powerful (only got 200W chapters in the cab for head #2) and will probable sound like ass for guitar.
Think I will go for a Sound City L120. Seems to be a Marshall/Orangish hybrid with heavy duty transformers and 6x EL34s, so should peak out ~ 180W when cranked. Nigh £350-400 for a head. Paired with the Orangish OR120, I should be moving some serious air.
Those Line six DT amps are very nice – adept choice.

Talking of Bogner, my latest fritter was on a Bogner La Grange pedal. Astonishing tones – really skillful Van Halen ane cranked plexi stuff (even has a Variac switch)…
Trouble is I likewise recently got a Boss MS3 multi effects/remote loop box in an endeavour to slim things down. All that has meant that I now accept Two pedal boards. I more gadgety than the other. All expert fun though… 😊

Wooooo!
Finally got to carry all the gear up to the garage and after checking the neighbours would be out doing their daily practise I turned it up a bit.
I'd nigh forgotten how load 25 watts of valve tin can be.
The crunch breaking into clean when I roll off the volume is pretty much what I've always wanted and the college gain sounds vary from scooped metal to classic stone depending on what preamp I use.
Only simply started playing with the valve modes (Triode/Pentode and Class AB/Class A) and haven't started on the negative feedback options.
Swell to exist able to run electric through the combo and when I go for an acoustic it automatically routes information technology through to the FRFR Soundsource.
And then much more than tweaking to practise and I'g actually bummed that I tin't take information technology turned upwardly all day.
Oh well. Back to the real world.
Oh and the Mania came forth for the ride likewise with the new Floyd Rose (licensed!) working well.

Sounds about right. Later on a work colleague has bought an Analogousness Tele I did a bit of reading. I institute the "Chappers and the Captain" videos on YT by Rob Chapman and Lee Anderton. They bullheaded tested 4 Strat models; the Squier Archetype Vibe was the cheapest by some margin (two of the others were custom store models) nevertheless both would be more than happy with it. The same seems to apply to the Tele range.
I've not dared to become dorsum and lookout man any more as their videos seem slap-up simply there are loads and all seem quite long. I could easily lose several years of my life learning stuff I don't demand to know nearly guitars, amps furnishings etc that I'll never get to play.

Same with bass's when Scott from Scotts bass lessons did some comparisons, with a squire and a custom shop. They did audio slightly dissimilar, but information technology wasn't that ane sounded ameliorate than the other simply a slightly different tone.
I went for a Mexican fender rather than a squire just because they have a resale value if it turns out I don't have the patience or ability to acquire. Funnily enough I think if I was more than sure that I would commit I would accept bought a squire and spent the extra 300 on something else, peradventure lessons.

Anyone got some recommendations for (or are selling?) decent strat pickups?
When i bought my Japanese strat I tried loads – information technology had the best unplugged tone and cervix, only the pickups were a bit weak compared to others (United states and Mexican strats).
And then, looking to supervene upon but don't want to spend Also much. Soundwise, I'd similar it to still just audio similar a classic strat, so not looking for pickups that are too hot or stacked humbuckers or anything.
It'll be used on stage, possibly with some loftier proceeds fuzz, then don't want something that will squeal.
Looks similar I tin can get something like this (Fender Noiseless ones) for £100-ish 2d paw: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-of-three-Fender-Vintage-Noiseless-pickups-for-Strat/402251229598
Would I perchance exist best looking for a whole Us pickguard? Could exist the pots etc aren't up to scratch on mine either?
How nearly companies similar Tonerider or Iron Gear? Does their stuff stand to live playing or is simply for bedroom nerding? I have a GFS pickup in my Les Paul that I really like

My TC Electronics Plethora turned up and it is gert lush!
Running four cables into the DT25 or in the loop of the POD HD500 or into Abelton Alive it just seems to bring something new to the tones.
No distortions or overdrives but all the pitch, filibuster, Chorus, reverbs, tremolos you could desire.
Any 5 at a fourth dimension stored into a virtual pedal board (i of 127), edit a pedal and just three knobs are bachelor BUT you can load 75 variations of each pedal type into the board and then the reverbs go from a elementary spring to big lush cathedrals with added shimmer rising octaves and so much more, the template for on of the Steve Vai reverbs has over thirty different variable you lot can edit on the bluetooth app and then if you lot want to play you lot can, otherwise just activate pedal edit on the lath, scroll though the 75 presets to find one you like, twiddle the knobs and away you go.
All the push buttons double every bit control pedals. Applying pressure can vary what ever you like such as whammy effects, delay feedback, reverb swells.
Unlimited possibilities. Or simply a unproblematic variable pedal board.
I'm in honey with a new toy (again).
