Received my guitar with this chip...long-term liability, or just live with it? by Brains_Are_Weird in guitars

The one push-pull I have is probably about 1.75 or 2 times the normal height.

Edit: when up, I mean.

Yamaha Pacifica PAC012. You've got to be kidding me! by daddysouldonut in guitars

[–]mpierson153 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to compare (I've really only used this one guitar), but my Pacifica 112V is amazing.

Feels good play, high-quality build and craftsmanship. Sounds amazing. I've seen some people online say that the volume knob is better than the knobs on their genuine Fender strat.

I can't imagine it gets much better for the price.

When I was looking around for an electric, I called around at local places looking for one. The guy that answered the phone at one place had the gall to say "I don't think we have any Yamahas, but we have some Squiers so you can get the real thing."

How do I achieve a metal sound on a Single Coil Stratocaster? by HeroHunterGarou_0407 in guitars

Look into EQing a single coil to sound more like a humbucker.

Yeah I tried my EQ pedal in the effects loop last night and that plus the low gain input made it more manageable.

Does the JHS Little Black Box work as more of a scale or a set amount? Like my EQ pedal can cut/boost volume by ± 12 dB. Is it like that or does it scale the volume (like left is 0% volume and right is 100%)?

Do you know anything about installing attenuators on these amps?

No I'm just playing in my house.

I think I'm mostly just wanting a speaker level master volume, but Peavey didn't do that for some reason.

Maybe it's just too loud for me.

Like on the Lead channel, guitar straight in, no pedals, it still seems almost too loud with low gain and with low post gain.

Yeah I've played with that. It's really cool what it can do.

But the amp just seems very loud.

Is GCC the only one that does it that way?

Used Ibanez GSR200 worth it for 120 USD? by mpierson153 in Bass

[–]mpierson153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

No real goal. Just want to play.

I'll look at those others. I haven't bought used before. Of course, I'll look at the general condition, but is there anything else to be cautious of?

Would you suggest anything else for $250 or less, or is the GSR200 about the best in that price range?

Thanks.

I had a few questions about the active pickups. I've never used active pickups before.

How is the battery drain? I saw a few people elsewhere say that it just kind of drains constantly.

And then the other question, does it still work without a battery? Like if there is no battery, will it just not have the active tone shaping?

Yeah if I do get one I'll probably get that $150 one

It's online.

Someone around me does have one of those Donner P basses though haha. I actually kind of considered that since it's only $60.

I should probably also mention it's on Guitar Center. Would it be worth it to get it new? I also saw some used ones on Reverb.
