The Guitar Thread

Latency will be hell. Unless you have an iPad and get an irig and use it instead of your amp

I don’t have an ipad unfortunately. Going to keep the headphones anyway because they are quality, and try my luck with a low latency transmitter. If it doesn’t work so be it.

What computer do you have? Can probably help you out with some software

A fairly competant HP. 512 SSD 16 GB ram.

I’ve recently looked into this myself. I’ve ordered a set of Bluetooth headphones and a transmitter off Amazon that are supposedly low latency. Will report back on what the latency is like for guitar when they arrive.

There is a new Bluetooth codec called “aptX Low Latency” that minimises latency. It’s around 40 ms. Qualcomm make these Bluetooth chips, and their site lists all the transmitters and receivers (eg. headphones) that support the aptX Low Latency codec. Lots of brands you’ll recognise use it, but most Bluetooth devices are not aptX Low Latency.

Cool. I was looking at the Avantree Oasis, which I found from this list.

I’ve got the Oasis Plus and the Avantree Audition Pro headphones on order. You’ll need both transmitter and headphones to have aptX Low Latency chips to get the benefit.

My headphones are compatible. :crossed_fingers: the transmitter works, it would be a nice little luxury.

Got bored and picked up my kids electric guitar to try and learn anything, using Rocksmith on the PS3. Has anyone ever used this to learn? It kind of like guitar hero, but you use a real guitar, and if you can’t play for ■■■■, it slows down, and tells you which strings you’re missing.

Anyway, looks like i need to get a new cable and guitar strap. The ones that came with it are both pretty ■■■■.

What should I be looking at to buy, I literally have no idea what I’m doing, but I need a cable that’s going to last (kids) and a strap that is comfy and won’t fall off, so any advice would be handy.

This would do you. Comfort, quality, won’t break the bank. :+1:

Borrowed a mate’s Duesenberg Starplayer TV. Very playable neck. Very versatile soundwise - P90 neck pup (can rolloff bass to make it strat-like) and humbucker bridge pup for bite & grain.

Good counterpoint to the cut & slash of my Nash Tele.
Want.

Grabbed this the other day because I’ve wanted to own a Mustang since I was 15 and I saw Kurt Cobain with one in the Smells like Teen Spirit film clip, and this was going to be the bones for a new mod project.

Except I love it, necks great and the p-90’s are incredible, I don’t want to change anything.

Hi all
Just grabbed a Squire Jazz Bass to go with the HB TE80, ( I said it was a 70 in an earlier post).
I haven’t got really long fingers, so the Jazz is just that much more easier to play than a P-Bass.

What a superb looking axe. You must be wrapped. I hope it plays as good as it looks.

thought this might be the place to ask for some advice! we do a Kris Kringle thing for Christmas, and one of my brothers has decided he’d like a ukulele this year!

Any suggestions for what brand/type to buy him? would ideally like to get him the ukulele, a case, and some other accessories - strings, tuning thingie, instruction book etc. Looking at spending around $180.

I’ve looked at some music shop websites, but I have no idea what’s good and what’s not, so if anyone has some suggestions, would be much appreciated!

I have a Mahalo tucked away somewhere. It plays great, and it was nowhere near $180.
I’d give them a big tick, and they are not hard to find either online or at a music store.
You’d be able to get the Uke, a gig bag, some swag and maybe even an instructional dvd- probably still have some change.
