Winding your own pickups costs very very little. Making a guitar body costs very little, for a homemade electric guitar the body makes little difference to sound and simply consists of a plank of wood, fretboard can be harder to make but can be done, or simply retrofit the acoustic as an electric acoustic. It won't necessarily be as good as a real electric guitar without a lot of practise (in making I mean, not playing, although both apply I suppose) but you made it, granddad can't argue with that. http://m.instructables.com/id/Make-A-Guitar-Pickup/ Or do it wolfs way (proper way)
I compose tragedy,dark music, and fantasy music, most of them doesn't have lyrics because i cant sing nor make good lyrics, i sometimes compose love songs.
For a sort of dark tone of susgest taking a look at a high gauge stringed guitar ( I can't stress this enough) Make sure you DO NOT get nylon strings, If you want a good tone that lasts then get steel or wire strings.
I should learn how to play the guitar. I do have a 6 string acoustic of some description. All I know is that it has 3 steel strings and 3 nylon ones.
Also your headstock should have some sort of brand name or model, Here is my strat as a example; View attachment 48068 Here is what I mean by nanoweb strings, Made by elixir not sure if you can see the plastic coating - - - Updated - - - Nylon gives a lighter sound yes, However it sounds cheap and plasticey, Wetheras steel gives a clean rich tone.
I agree nylon are kinda cheap and are made of plastic but hey, nylon strings are very durable unlike steel that it snaps very fast depending on how you play or treat your steel strings. In my opinion, nylon strings are the best when i play my fantasy or my love songs, my composition "Box of dreams" sounds better when i play it on a nylon string guitar. Check out my composition in sound cloud called "Imagination" i might add more songs, the microphone buzzes the whole time by the way. Tuning is in DADGBE https://soundcloud.com/mx-zr
Your lunchgroup is what time you got to the cafeteria, and what people you go with. There are 4 groups, each having a 25 minute lunch. Group 1 eats first, then group 2 goes in once group one has finished eating, and so on and so forth. Here, we have a big cafeteria. A big eating room with lots of tables. Then, theres a separate, smaller room that is adjoined to the cafeteria that is the serving room. You still have to pay for lunch if you buy it at school. If you wanna eat that crap. And its more of a buffet, self serve-like setup. You pile what you want on your tray then you go up to the register and get rung up. You bring your own lunch if you wish, or not eat at all. Or you can walk around the school. It's like a free period pretty much. I don't think you're allowed to leave during lunch, but people do it all the time.
My school is kind of similar. The cafeteria is essentially one massive room with long rectangular tables in rows down the center of the room. Then there are circular tables on the sides of the room. We have 9 lunch lines for various foods. We have an Italian line (serves pizza everyday, occasionally some spaghetti), 2 grab-and-go lines (quick lines for getting chips, drinks, junk food, sweets, etc..) 2 "American Lines" (serve the daily rotation of foods), a sub line (make your own sub sandwiches), a Mexican line (serves tacos, nachos, etc..), a random "hot food" line (serves random stuff), a chinese line that serves chinese food (which is fried chicken on rice with some sketchy sauce), and a "Welfare Line" that serves some of the best food ever. It's been deemed the welfare line because it is by far the cheapest line and is the line that the "welfare" students get their free lunches at (nobody in our school gets free welfare lunches though because the school district is in the nicest end of town), but it is also the best food that is offered at lunch. We have 4 separate lunch "mods" names A,B,C, and D. All lunches are during 5th period so 5th period is the only class of the day that is longer than 45 minutes.
I only have 4 periods in a day so classes are like an hour and a half long or something like that. We just have a big-ass room with tables everywhere. There isn't really much of a pattern to it. Like there's a cluster of round tables over here. And then a few rows of rectangular tables over here. And then a few booths on the wall over there. etcetc Our serving room just has 2 rows of tables. Both serve the same shitty food day after day. I've only been in there a few times. Food is terrible here. But we have like this almost concession stand thing on one of the walls of the cafeteria. Serves soft drinks and candy and stuff. That's the only place I ever buy any food. I bring my own stuff. I just buy a coke or something usually.
So, did bass guitars change at all since the maybe 70's? The bass we use at school seems to have a (for lack of a better word) looser, easier to play on fretboard, compared to the one my dad kept from his band, which has strings that are a lot harder to move freely on compared to the one at school. If you have played an older bass, you may know what I am talking about. It's either that or the bass at home is just not configured correctly. The strings have to be tightened more to get to the same notes that the other bass can get to. Do strings just crap out if they sit for 10-20 years and were used for maybe 3 before being put away?
Felt like taking photos It's that time of the year again where there are agressive tire threads everywhere. Also i saw a unicorn
Bass guitars haven't changed much at all, From what I can tell from your post the bass at home has higher guage strings which need to be tightened a lot more to get a better soun giving a complete different tone.
I got some ernie ball extra slinkys from Buddy Roger's, and they seem a little better. I do notice that my bass is a bit bulkier than the one at school, and it seems like the frets are up a little high, because I can't really lower the bridge down a lot before they start hitting the top frets. If it's a slammer bass, would that be the reason it's much bulkier?
If say it was designed for metal music or heavy rock, The reason the frets are like that is to do hammer ons and slapping.
