ahah ok I had a peek this morning and noped right out but i’ll post some pics of what I intend to do if this was me ultimate guitar i’d actually do it up exactly as I want* but it’s not so imma keep it as stock as possible for resale * locking but but not a floating bridge. brutal bridge pickup and not even sure if i’d bother with a neck pickup at all, and just a volume knob, no tone control. and pickup wise? need to do a lot of research there because i was reading the seymour duncan website today and they had a section on “classic metal” pickups but they say classic means pre2010!!!’ so nu metal is now considered classic metal. i thought you’d get a kick out of that lol

i used to do guitar amp repair about 20h/week while studying for my EE degree, and i still do some from time to time when I’m not traveling for my job would you guys be interested that i post it the next time round or is that more fitting in the project thread?

yes please! this is stuff that i'm super interested in but have a hard time getting an intuitive grasp of. same with ham stuff, tbh. i basically remembered the formulae and can apply them, but i haven't worked enough problems to have it really click where i know what to expect out the other side on either a guitar or a radio. i'm all over anything that's electricity 101 - 302 basically

after i move i can finally get a chair with no arms to play guitar in instead of sitting on the couch or holding it all weird in my office chair obviously most any adjustable stool or chair without arms will work, but just in case there's something im missin here, any recommendations? just playing normally, not holding it classical style or anything e: this owns but lol at spending $400 Achmed Jones fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Nov 7, 2021 |

took the quintet and made it in to a full ensemble thing, and also sped it up slightly https://soundcloud.com/poltzart/triumph had to record it in 3 passes to not get popping due to the number of instruments playing, but it sure does sound nice having just about every instrument playing at once in some spots. sometimes forget how great everything together can sound

c m s: fixed my ibanezzzzzzzzz quote:holy poo poo i fixed it. so when i was a kid that black wire from pin 7 (counting from left) of the switch in my diagram broke, and I didn't know poo poo so I soldered the white of the middle pickup to pin 7. That's when it stopped working in mid position and didnt do anything in 2/4. Relocated the white lead from the mid to ground and added a jumper to pin 7 i had to dig that diagram out of the wayback machine heh

some HH ibanezes in the 90s had this neat quasi split coil setup where the middle position wired the rear coil of the neck pickup and the front coil of the bridge pickup in parallel (?) to get this really chime-y tone without sacrificing the humbucking and if I end up rewiring my sterling I'm probably going to do that

Yes! if i wanted to get one of those 4 pole superswitches i could do that. The next target is going to be my ancient 80s shred machine that somebody hit with car paint. No idea who made it. Set neck (might actually be a neck-through), EMG HSS pickups, 3 toggle switches. Sadly the metal on the bridge is fatigued so it can't whammy, and i have not been successful in ID'ing the make of the bridge to see if I can even find one, so I may take it to a luthier and have them block out the cavity so I can just install a stoptail (i dont care about trem bridges). it'd of course need a repaint but that's not that big of a deal at all considering the lovely finish it has rn

you can get humbucker sized pickups that are two mini humbuckers globbed together and you can get a guitar routed for 3 of these i'd have to name it Gillette or something lol also, after i get my existing guitars cleaned up and working right, i might build this https://www.badcatinstruments.com/gbk/new-6-string-guitar-kit-zebrawood-solid-body-lp-style-electric-guitar-builder-kit-chrome-hardwares

Jonny 290 posted:you can get humbucker sized pickups that are two mini humbuckers globbed together just dreaming up a single pickup with dozen elements that spans from the bridge to the neck but has digital controls that enables indefinite amount of combinations of tappings etc no but seriously I find it so intriguing how much can be altered to create different sounds thru changing what seems like a relatively limited number of factors/components in the past week since we’ve been talking about this I’ve looked up and discovered all sorts of modern pickups that are meant to be all sorts of amazing. I am very tempted to take mine to a pro to a) do regular guitar adjustments because I’ve never had that done and not even sure what a poorly set up guitar might be like and b) fix the pickup wiring because I also don’t know if the wrong wiring that it has currently has a meaningful impact at my gfs I don’t have a synth or keyboard but I do have my acoustic and I’ve thought it’s a good opportunity to progress guitar skills somewhat. as much as I love the sounds I get out of my synth, there’s something very nice about playing wish you were here too (and that’s significantly more popular with other people) I make a lot of synth patches that are very simple, just couple saw waves an octave out for example, apply a few things to bring a bit of movement in, keep the filter open, and over time get used to and very enjoy the sound of saws and squares. i’m not sure the general public feels the same way lol last time i tripped at home I was so enthralled by sounds I had made with boatloads of resonance that ended sound so “electrical”, as in the sounds of AC current or other things I don’t know how to describe

my general music idea is that compared to all the recorded music in the world that people have access to at all times these days, no one in their right mind would listen to my music. why would they? there’s always something better BUT if my competition isn’t the best music in the world but instead is just the sounds of traffic because I’m playing on a street corner.. well then I might have a chance of bringing something interesting into someone’s life I am a bit nervous and wary of taking close to 4k gear onto the street to play, it might end up being a deal breaker tbh. I really hope I can find it safe enough. or find insurance

and yeah with modern switching setups you can do a very wide combination of sounds. some aren't too useful but if you got a guitar with HSH pickups, a 5 way switch and pull pots to do coil splits on your neck and bridge you have like 8 different settings that sound good.

Quite a bit hotter than the stock ones (this is an SX cheapo dealie bob but i still love it), the neck is a little boomier and rounder than the stock one, the bridge is a little more midrangey, exactly what i wanted. been learning the ways of running a jazz bass (hint: you never run both pickups wide open, it turns into mid mud, you alway want to back one or the other off a bit). neck by itself with the tone backed off a little bit is a really good p bass growl

I kinda want to get a Bass VI, they're rad. also really want to figure out what made John Entwistle sound like a fuckin god it was thunderfingers himself realistically my next music gear purchase is going to be a proper pedalboard. I bought an EHX OD Glove the other day and now I have a thirst for more pedals to replace my low-end boss multi-effects unit from the early 2000s. no idea how real pedalboards work so it'll be something I need to look up. eventual goal is guitar -> TU-3 -> NS-2 -> any OD pedals -> amp preamp section -> amp fx send -> NS-2 fx loop stage -> chorus -> volume -> delay -> amp fx return. maybe throw that multi-effects in the FX loop as well for specific weird stuff if needed but mostly just in bypass mode

Kazinsal posted:I kinda want to get a Bass VI, they're rad. also really want to figure out what made John Entwistle sound like a fuckin god it was thunderfingers himself yep that's exactly how you should line it up. all effects can be bucketed into either 'dynamics' (compressors/OD/distortion/eq) or 'time' (delay/reverb/chorus) stuff. the former goes between guitar and preamp stage, latter goes in the fx loop cause if you put a dirty tone on the guitar you don't want to re-distort it on delay echoes.
