And I have an old Roland cable from several decades ago.

Maybe that's why my sound sucks...

I think of it all like this. Does the item that's added, be it paint, a tremolo, an different preamp, or a gauge change the guitar itself? Would changing any of the said items mean that what was once a Gibson Les Paul is now something different?

That's kind of overcomplicating. I say if it's not stock, it probably should be added.

Example: http://equipboard.com/pros/zach-blair/gibson-les-paul-classic-custom

OK, Zach Blair uses a Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom. That should be it. Everything is stock except for the bridge. Therefore, it should be added, and rightfully so:

http://equipboard.com/pros/zach-blair/evertune-g-model-bridge

But other than that, aesthetics that DON'T change the way the guitar sounds probably shouldn't be added.

Side note, this thread should be pinned just like the "Merging Duplicate Guitars" thread.

http://equipboard.com/pros/iron-wine

Just noticed the above, needs to be deleted. I'll make a seperate submission for Sam Beam (AKA Iron & Wine).

http://equipboard.com/pros/sam-beam

He's not even listed as an artist of Iron &Wine, yet they recognise him for his cover album with Ben Bridwell.

I was told to come post some Equipboard ideas here ;)

Since Equipboard is my go-to for gear stuff they should do a write-up on how to shop for guitar cables. Not just a few guitar cable suggestions, but also clearing up cable confusion for people (instrument vs speaker, how to shop for cables, what to look for, etc).

Also, it would be awesome to be able to sort item types by number of pros using them and/or number of community members using them. So in this example I want to go to the instrument cables page and have a lot more sort options.

Also for the record, this thread is a nice idea, and based on the discussions I'm reading, Equipboard users are really fucking cool :)

I second this, after the previous discussion.

This is also used for any mistakes you might find within the site, so take heed.

Enjoy your stay, mate!

nope

Dem coily cabs, though.

Never tangle and trip ever again...

OK, well the picture I used, I think it would serve as a very good standard for tunings, but I don't know how to reproduce that picture, and my knowledge of theory is very weak.

I know its in alphabetical order, but would someone kindly order the Forums page?

Ideally, General / Guitarists and Bassists / DJ and Electronic Music

OK, so I was looking at some categories, and I noticed there's one for TUNINGS. This is very uncommon, but artists do sometimes present alternate tunings. Can we post that? And how?

I was thinking we could just put the name "Standard Tuning" (as an example), and a picture like this:

Somthing like the above? Couldn't you put that as a normal Orange cab and say in the description that it was modified?

Also, that's an amplifier.

Well, thank you. I really appreciate this, but you're right, I should save up. I'm applying for jobs now, so don't expect a sure resolution to this thread for a long time.

People who know your a musician but expect you to pull off a Jack Butler intimidation lick.

The Midtown Standard comes in Pelham Blue, Ebony, and Vintage Sunburst – we don't need to create 3 item pages for those finish variations.

Thoughts? Questions?

Agreement.

Did you say the same about Fender? I can't remember now, but what were the good years for Fender?

Ah, that makes more sense.

Definitely gonna have to renovate the entire site for that, but OK.

1962 Fender Strat 1962 Strat Fender 1962 Fender Stratocaster 1962 Fender Strat (Red) 1962 Fender Strat Custom 1970 Fender Strat

will all become

Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

Careful there, Boom. The year a guitar is made is still very important as well as the type of model, such as custom. However, discriminating colours and the order of words would work fine.

^ Everyone who has ever contributed to this crap that is Rob Chapman's artist page, PLEASE, A DEMO DOES NOT MEAN HE OWNS IT, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE OWN 198 PRODUCTS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY??

I've thought of it before, but I like tuning my guitar. Besides, that Jem is gone.

If anything, I'd rather have locking tuners, they'd probably do well.

^ Agreed

This is a bass. Please put it in its category.

Boom touched on this.

People who listen to one song, like it, and forget the rest of the album.

People who have a million artists with only one song from each.

People with a million songs in the Unknown Artist section because they're lazy, or songs with no album or cover art or the title is like "Deadmau5 - Strobe (Klaypex Remix) [1080p HD]", Like, seriously, DOESN'T THAT BOTHER YOU

People who say "It just sounds like noise to me" and I'm like "MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT ON SOME EFFIN' HEADPHONES INSTEAD OF THAT CHEAP LAPTOP SOUNDCARD"

People who call me hipster because I listen to a band that they have never heard of.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV2xRwiLAww

^People who don't appreciate the amount of humour in this song^

FINALLY: People who say:

"Ah, [Insert technically intelligent instrumental band] must be music for musicians". And I'm like, "You listened to Bach. Does it look like ANYBODY you know can perform those cello suites with that amount of presicion and emotion? HRM? NO? I thought so. Hush"

Well, I'll speak from experience. It may be a Juniour, but the sound is absolutely fantastic. Even the single coil is very hot, almost to EMG levels, but are not neutered like EMG's, so their cleans are AMAZING.

The neck is very fast, very smooth, weight is is just above a stratocaster, and the Floyd Rose... eh, that thing was screwed up. Never stayed in tune, but I loved to just hit harmonics and drop'em.

I had to return it because Pitbull Audio gave me a Jem with a defective input jack.

HA

SUCCESS

OK, so in a week, $$$, then in another week, most likely nothing.

Unless I save up.

Damn, I want a guitar now.

OK, that explains.

Do you need those random objects pointed out, or should we just wait?

EDIT: http://equipboard.com/pros/dntel/vermona-retroverb-lancet?src=submission

My mistake, this needs to be removed from Dntel's rig.

This needs to be categorised as an effect pedal. Also, probably rewritten as "Digitech HM2 HarmonyMan Intelligent Pitch Shifter".

Dang, that thing's expensive, though. I'm sure that because you got a higher-end guitar, some of those nitpicks about date of production will start falling.

I just noticed that Fender makes an American Standard series with humbuckers

What is this even

Ultimate Guitar has a thread in their forum for this, but honestly, an actual site for musicians trading information would be cool.

I was actually thinking about musicians trading other musicians ;-)

Human trafficking laws only apply to humans, right...?

Just humans, so your idea would work.

Ultimate Guitar has a thread in their forum for this, but honestly, an actual site for musicians trading information would be cool.

Unless EB added a little section in their own site...

Maybe we should all confer and set up a musician exchange program, where bands in localities with a shortage of players from a certain genre can make trades... kind of like pro sports leagues.

EquipMusician, anybody?

They were supporting that irritating parade album last time I spoke with any of them

To each his own, but The Black Parade certainly had good tracks.

But can we all agree that Danger Days was a crap move? When I first heard that, it sounded like some sort of hip-hop meets the degraded crap that MCR suddenly became.

People who claim they like a band and they actually mean "I like that one song enough to listen to it"

Every high school student that has ever lived.

"So besides The Wall and Dark Side, what do you think is there best album so far?"

Wish You Were Here FTW

Do you even solo like Gilmour on Shine On, bruh?

Bands they claim to be heavy/brutal/metal/etc and nearly all their songs are about breaking up, telling a girl how they feel, or how life isn't fair. They usually sing all squeeky voiced during the choruses and have feather bangs in their eyes.

Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria... um, guys help me out, those are the only ones I can think of from the top of my head.

Bands that switch genres or styles to be more mainstream for the sake of getting more money.

inb4 My Chemical Romance... that last album... AND THEY WERE DOING SO WELL

Haha, don't, It's a forum thing found in the deeper side of the internet. Don't go there, you'll be scarred beyond belief.

Stay away, I barely survived that.
