| notlikethesoup | I just realize how silly what I said was; one of my electrics is an Epiphone Les Paul and that's the one I super love | 13:06 |
| cmaloney | morning | 13:08 |
| shakes808 | notlikethesoup: that is a killer axe! What style / color do you have? | 13:08 |
| shakes808 | this is what i have for a bass: http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/images/hohnerprobbassv/bbassvpro1.jpg | 13:09 |
| notlikethesoup | shakes808: thanks! cherry sunburst with. black pick guard, knobs, and gold tuning pegs and pickups | 13:09 |
| shakes808 | nice | 13:09 |
| notlikethesoup | http://media.musiciansfriend.com/is/image/MMGS7/Les-Paul-Custom-Flametop-Electric-Guitar-Wine-Red/518321000025000-00-500x500.jpg | 13:09 |
| notlikethesoup | literally that | 13:10 |
| notlikethesoup | I absolutely love it | 13:10 |
| shakes808 | classic | 13:10 |
| shakes808 | i had this guy too | 13:10 |
| shakes808 | http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez/GSR200-4-String-Electric-Bass-519524.gc | 13:10 |
| notlikethesoup | sadly I think there's a wiring issue; one of the pickup doesn't work | 13:10 |
| notlikethesoup | doesn't always* work | 13:10 |
| shakes808 | should be an easy fix. | 13:10 |
| shakes808 | might just need a bit of solder | 13:10 |
| notlikethesoup | I love that red | 13:10 |
| notlikethesoup | yeah I've never soldered before :/ | 13:11 |
| shakes808 | or just get some new pickups :) | 13:11 |
| notlikethesoup | well I sorta think this issue is in the pickup switch | 13:11 |
| shakes808 | there isn't much that goes into that stuff. | 13:11 |
| notlikethesoup | this sounds weird, but if I wiggle it a bit and then select that pickup, often it will work for a bit | 13:11 |
| shakes808 | a buddy of mine built his own and i was seeing pics of it throughout the process | 13:11 |
| notlikethesoup | I forget which it is; it's the one that has less bass and mid tones | 13:12 |
| shakes808 | pretty easy | 13:12 |
| notlikethesoup | bridge? | 13:12 |
| shakes808 | could be the pickups or the switch. next time you need to change out the strings, you can take it apart :) | 13:12 |
| jrwren | what makes a les paul a les paul? | 13:12 |
| notlikethesoup | the body shape? | 13:13 |
| notlikethesoup | I guess really that's what makes a lot of guitars what they are | 13:13 |
| shakes808 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Paul | 13:13 |
| notlikethesoup | though there are many similar style to a Les Paul | 13:13 |
| jrwren | shakes808: ha! that Ibanez is on my amazon wish list :) | 13:13 |
| shakes808 | for being a cheap on, it is nice | 13:14 |
| jrwren | surely that wikipedia page is about the person, not the guitar. | 13:14 |
| jrwren | shakes808: yeah, i figured its a nice one to learn and play on. | 13:14 |
| notlikethesoup | it is lol | 13:14 |
| notlikethesoup | but you can go to the guitar from the top of that page | 13:14 |
| jrwren | ok, whew. | 13:14 |
| shakes808 | " He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, which made the sound of rock and roll possible." | 13:14 |
| jrwren | i was going to cry if it wasn't. The man changed music as we know it. | 13:14 |
| jrwren | he invented the 4 track FFS! | 13:15 |
| shakes808 | go to guitar builder in the wiki | 13:16 |
| shakes808 | it is inspired by him | 13:16 |
| shakes808 | The Gibson Les Paul, one of the world's most popular electric guitars, was inspired by Paul's "Log". | 13:17 |
| notlikethesoup | I don't think I've ever actually listened to Les's nusic | 13:19 |
| notlikethesoup | or even his music | 13:19 |
| notlikethesoup | stupid phone keyboard | 13:19 |
| shakes808 | haha :) | 13:21 |
| shakes808 | One of my acoustics looks similar to this | 13:24 |
| shakes808 | http://www.guitar-museum.com/uploads/guitar/57/300165506391-1.jpg | 13:24 |
| shakes808 | mother of pearl inlay epiphone | 13:24 |
| jrwren | nice! | 13:27 |
| jrwren | i've been playing on one a lot like that. | 13:27 |
| jrwren | it was my grandfathers. | 13:27 |
| jrwren | it plays oh so nice. | 13:27 |
| jrwren | I've also got a 1935 or 1936 gibson kalamazoo KG21 archtop | 13:28 |
| cmaloney | damn | 13:28 |
| jrwren | its kind of awesome to play around on an 80yo guitar. | 13:28 |
| notlikethesoup | hell yeah Kalamazoo | 13:28 |
| notlikethesoup | my acoustic is pretty crap honestly | 13:29 |
| shakes808 | yeah, on that epiphone, i lowered the strings and put smaller gauge strings on it. I have a Yamaha that the strings are lowered as well, but have normal / thicker strings on it :) | 13:29 |
| shakes808 | oh man is it!!! | 13:29 |
| jrwren | lowered the strings? | 13:29 |
| shakes808 | my buddy's step father has an old american strat ... oh how sweet that sounds :) and he has a mexican newer strat, still sounds nice, but not as nice as the american one :) | 13:30 |
| cmaloney | closer to the pickups | 13:30 |
| jrwren | ah, i see. | 13:30 |
| cmaloney | likely different sounds / tapping abilities | 13:30 |
| shakes808 | yeah, you can lower the strings so that they are easier on the fingers. | 13:30 |
| jrwren | i've always heard that described as adjusting the action, but I guess when the goal isn't fretboard distance, it can be called something else. | 13:30 |
| shakes808 | yeah, lowered the action. didn't know if you knew what that meant :) sorry | 13:31 |
| cmaloney | humbuckimg duophonic stratodopolous | 13:31 |
| shakes808 | it is so you don't have to press down as far to get the notes to play | 13:31 |
| jrwren | yes, I need to adjust the action on my other epiphone. its so far its very difficult to play the lower frets | 13:32 |
| shakes808 | yeah, it is nice :) | 13:32 |
| shakes808 | http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o47/ANDREW_SHOULD_DIE/shim_explanation.gif | 13:34 |
| cmaloney | nice album name | 13:34 |
| shakes808 | haha | 13:35 |
| notlikethesoup | man i'm starting to play my guitars more, my calluses aren't what they used to be | 19:16 |
| jrwren | i've got calluses like I've never had because I'm a new player. | 19:16 |
| notlikethesoup | oh man | 19:16 |
| notlikethesoup | yeah i started on acoustic and shredded the hell out of my fingers | 19:16 |
| notlikethesoup | but i haven't hardly played the last several years | 19:17 |
| jrwren | gotta start on accoustic with heavy strings... so that you get huge finger strength :) | 19:17 |
| jrwren | then if you choose to do lightweight you cn really shred :) | 19:17 |
