Those are both solid. The 3100 is where they start improving from the baseline. I'd check both. Some folks can't do maple fretboards for some reason. The lack of fret markers on the purple one may or may not be a hassle for a novice.

(besides me going and actually seeing them, probably tomorrow, I'm a nub I personally love maple fretboard guitars, although the back of the neck should really be satin, but the cherry burst looks better than the purple. Tough choice but I'm sure both would be decent to try.

It's interesting you posted this, because I went out and got myself a Mooer Rage Machine, which is a clone of a Death Metal. It makes my strat sound pretty huge, here's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBsAHFPF03w

Why would someone clone a pedal that's still easily available and only costs half as much? Oh.....

I let people drink the beer in my fridge and booze in my freezer to empty it out for moving. Someone must have set it down in the freezer to get some tasty vodka out, then never picked it back up. Didn't discover it until we were all unpacked in the new place  edit: My wife's taking me amp shopping for christmas tomorrow. What should I be looking for in the beginner, sub $200 range if I mostly play basic punk and stuff with basic open chords?

So I saw my uncle play last night. He is the quintessential bluesdad, except he is really goddamn good. He has been playing for ~40 years or so. He taught me a lot when I started. Here is what blew my mind though: He recently sold all his gear(strats on strats, bunch of amps, pedals, etc, a huge bluesdad collection), and was playing with just a stock Squire tele with a humbucker in the bridge/Single in the neck, to a Joyo tube screamer clone, into a solid state fender amp. Tone for days. Like face melting tone. It really is all in your fingers, kids. Dirt fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Dec 21, 2013 |

Picked up one the Ultra Comfort Levys straps locally for about $5 more than what they go for on ebay. Makes the Agile so much more manageable with that padding and little bit of stretch. Also, the stock pickups don't sound terrible through the Crate V32.

Remulak posted:Fender mustang I or Ii depending on the loudness and speaker size you want. Or line 6 Spider IV, either the 15 or 30 watt size. Ended up with the 30 watt spider IV. The mustang that had at the store had really weird presets and they all sounded kinda terrible. The spider sounded exactly how I wanted, and my lame powerchord riffing actually drew a couple compliments which was pretty unexpected. I guess people still like Welcome to Paradise all these years later

Well it's that thing where one person or a small handful of people do something innately well and a bunch of not as talented people try to copy that thinking it's a shortcut to success or excellence or whatever rather than figuring out their own thing and learning to play to their own strengths. It's also why the thrash revival scene is just abysmal. Alec Bald Snatch fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Dec 22, 2013 |

Electronic and guitarless music is increasingly en vogue so sampling and resampling your own playing in order to make it sound more artificial or processed is a natural extension of/reaction to popular trends. I'm surprised more guitarists don't experiment with feedback/noise, though.

Started out as an Earth/Sunn type thing. First demo was recorded at Joe Preston's house. Then moved to a Stars of the Lid kinda thing and were on Kranky for a bit. Not as big a fan now. Stars of the Lid is largely a guitar based ambient duo as well, for anyone unfamiliar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1mpNE-2EBo

So I read the op and saw the budget recommendations. But I was wondering if anyone had a personal recommendation for a good starting electric guitar specifically for rock smith. I have no experience and just want something reasonable priced.
