Was going to buy a Yamaha pacifica as my first electric cause I'm a poorfag retail wageslave but pic related has really caught my eye recently and is only about $300 more. Do you think its worth saving up another month for a tele or are pacificas pretty decent in comparison as a sub$500 guitar

yes, any pickup functions in any position. Some are designed with specific positions in mind (as a rule, bridge pickups are overwound relative to neck pickups because the string moves less at the bridge) but there's nothing actually stopping you from putting a bridge pickup in the neck position.

Mexican reissue tele? I had one for a few years. Legit sound if that's what you're after but they aren't very well made. Parts came loose or simply broke and the body cracked at the slightest impact.

I guess it's a problem with mid range classic models, some of your money is going on the label and not the guitar. Anyway just my two cents.

Yeah, first I need to crack the code. I get the the lowercase ones are flat, but ma is always lowercase unless it's sharp because it's the only note that raises instead of lowers. Then everything above the fifth has the same name.

I was hoping someone could help me with an amp problem. I just got a free Peavey Studio Pro 40 and it makes a horrid squeal if you turn the reverb up past 4 or so. I've tried all 3 of the suggested settings in the manual and the squeal seems to be the same no matter what I set the amp to. I did some research and made sure the reverb tank was attached correctly. Everything looked intact. Good solder joints and no shorted wires as far as I can tell. Anyone else have any ideas of what else I can check?

Oh, the squeal also happens whether or not a guitar is connected.

This is my first amp (been using the computer + usb until now because I'm poor) so apologies for the retarded question.

That's because a lot of bassists are women.
Women are more selective by nature, so they tend to break up relation ships more.
Most composers are guys, so most composers will remember the breakup(s) and make shitty bass parts for the rest of their lives.
They know the feel, and they want the women to feel bad, so they make shitty parts to get back for all the guys that know the feels felt on those days.
Johann Pachelbel got dissed by a cellist pretty bad, that's why the cello parts in Canon are just 8 quarter notes the whole song.

I see a forum post with a similar issue. Someone suggested it could be mechanical to the reverb tank.

Most squeals are oscillation. Oscillation would be something feeding back earlier in the circuit, then being amplified, and then feeding back more... If mechanical, then make sure the tank is secure but not rigid to the rubber dampening grommets. Alternatively you could test the reverb with the tank not attached to the cabinet.

A third option would be to get a test lead and a snubbing capacitor (caps in th pF range). You would ground one side of the cap and test lead the other to parts of the reverb circuit. This will pull out high end. The bigger the cap value the closer to or more audio frequency you will remove.

Oscillation is tricky without a scope.

That's because most people don't under bass's role in a band. Bass is perfect to counterpoint the guitar, play some leads where the guitar is laying rhythm, drop out for a pause and come in synchronized for big phrases, or laying down walking grooves for others to work over.

imo a lot of guitarists just think the bass should be straddling root notes.

People seem to not like these because they are LTD and whatever, I feel like they are pretty good value for $450. The Floyd works exactly like it's supposed to, it always stays in tune, the neck is super smooth, and so is the fretboard, its got a comfy weight to it. The Active pickups it comes with are the best stock pickups I've ever heard, and surprisingly sound very similar to an EMG-81, not quite the same but really close. To not have to drop $200 on pickups? That's worth more than I think people give credit for.

The only thing I didn't like about it is the fretjob was really rough, and the frets were sticking out a bit in places, but 40 minutes with a file and that problem was completely solved.

I think if people could just stop for 20 seconds and realize you don't need $3000 guitars or certain brands, you can actually find real value out there.

And I'm not saying don't go out and buy that $3000 les paul you've always wanted, but next time you're out like, I really like my les paul, and I wan't another guitar but only have a bit of money. Try some shit you wouldn't normally try.


Or for the guy who goes out and spends all of his research time on /mu/ and thinks the only way he can not get made fun of and suck is to go buy a $900 telecaster and $100 yardsale tubeamp some dude made in a basement in new Orleans during the floods, instead of find a good valued guitar and a decent amp.

I have other guitars too obviously, this was just a recent pickup of mine that I thought deserved a small highlight

It's not that there aren't good guitars for that price, it's that the quality is all over the place and finding a good model or good example of a model can be very difficult. There's no guarantee of quality and we are at a point where you order everything online because there is rarely what you are looking for locally.

There's also a feel and presence to something made from high quality materials and not slapped together in 20 minutes by chinamen. Even the difference between Ibanez made in Japan and Indonesia is massive and something instantly felt.

Of course there are guitars that cost less that are astounding, but there's a greater package you want to go with it. Unless you gig and don't want it stolen.

Wouldn't call $450 much of a bargain.

I picked up a used/untouched/unplayed Yamaha Pacifica for ~$60, put a bareknuckle humbucker I had lying around in it, changed the scratchplate, intonated, restrung and came in at less than $200 if you include the price of the pickup and my time spent on it.

It almost sounds better than my MIJ Strat, not close to my US Strat though. I think that's just because I'm not a fan of rosewood fretboards and I don't play as well on them as a nice nitro maple neck or something.

Here it is, anyway.

Oh wait shit I thought my eye was tricking me, that shit is definitely /offset/. Huh. That's kinda cool, though I always saw the Mustang as being a more modern Strat look, so an offset version is sorta odd to me. Regardless, looks cool, and def in /offset/. Go for it brah.

Standby is a mute switch. It's in a good place in your amp circuit so you can use it in any fashion.

Ground uses a line-to-ground cap to originally eliminate line interference. This switch should be disabled for safer operation of your amp. A three prong power chord should be installed.

Or you can wait until that cap really bites the dust and you feel 117Vac instead of whatever it's leaking into you right now. You won't be able to put your guitar down.

I get what you're trying to say, and I know no spoonfeeding, but what should I focus on when I slow down? Also- tunes like this require different approaches compared to slow tunes where I can dig deeper- what should I consider when I go faster?

That's not the first amp I'd recommend to cut your teeth on. The space inside is somewhat tight and there is interesting circuitry.

Here's a manual.
http://www.silvertoneworld.net/amplifiers/1484/1484_schematic.html

You need to pick up basic electronics of how resistors, capacitors, transformers, diodes, and AC & DC work. Then you need to smash NEETS module 6 for the first 60 pages and the portion on power supplies as well as at least the first free chapter of Blencowe's book which covers some fundamental stuff involving guitar amps. Hopefully by this point you'll be able to read and understand a lot of that manual schematic.

Before you poke around the insides, you need to be able to identify high voltage capacitors and learn to safely discharge them. You'll get a 490V wake-up call if you're not careful. Hint* all you need is a test lead and a voltmeter.
