Bass/guitar tone

I can't wrap my brain around what is a "good" "bass(or guitar) tone". I want to better understand and be able to adjust high, mid, low, or eq pedals.

Does anyone have any good dumbed down resources?

Help! I broke a string and when trying to remove it, it snapped off at both ends of the capstan, and the capstan is now blocked! I can’t get a new string through it, and i can’t dislodge the blockage. There isn’t a millimetre sticking out though, so impossible to get any purchase.

I'd like some help selecting an amp, I have odd requirements

So I want a half stack. Thing is, I definitely don't NEED a half stack. I play exclusively by myself, in my garage. I don't gig, I don't record, I just noodle. And I want a half stack just because it's cool. It's big and loud and looks gnarly. Younger me wanted it, current me can afford it.

I love metal, lots of gain, don't care about built in effects. I want it to have the controls on the front; my Vox AD120VT has top controls and it drives me crazy. It has to have at least two channels I can footswitch between. Don't care about solid state vs tube, as long as it screams. Most of all, it's gotta look sick. I've set my budget at $1000 or less and would like to try to buy something used. The Dual Recto or Krankenstein of my dreams is still too expensive for me to justify. I've never had enough cash to actually learn what I like at this price point, so I thought I'd take suggestions from the crowd: what would you be searching for if you wanted this type of amp? I currently have a Vox modeling amp and sixteen thousand pedals (according to my wife). I want just a big bitchin amp with clean and scream channels.

Premade neck questions

Hi all. I am currently sourcing the parts to create 3d printed guitar and I wanted to use a premade neck with it. Now I am running into a few issues with selecting the neck.

There is quite a price difference between necks and I can’t really figure out why. I saw them between €60 and €600,- I don’t mind paying for quality but then I really want to know if the difference in price is justified.

I am looking for a good neck for a project preferably from somewhere in europe because of shipping costs. What would you advise?

What do you do about this?

Maybe get some unobtanium tuners?

Newbie needs some help with amp/pedals

I am new to playing/learning electric guitar and there is a problem I am facing. As I had little experience before buying my electric guitar, i bought a very basic amp that doesn’t have an overdrive/gain knob. I saw somewhere that I could get an effects pedal to solve that issue (i really want distortion).

Is my understanding correct? If yes, what pedal should I get? Any inexpensive options out there as I am a bit tight on budget.

If not, should I get another amp?

Also please feel free to let me know if my question isn’t answerable here or if I am mistaken about something. This is my first everything.

String Gauge?

I broke the high e string (gauge .010) on my acoustic guitar and I was wondering if changing it with a thicker string (.012/0.13) without causing any problems.

Guitar Techs-Help!

So I’m a broke Twenty-One year old who has worked on every guitar I’ve ever owned, I frequently change my strings even when they don’t need it, I frequently clean the whole fret board with an iron “rag” each time and readjust all my tuning heads, down to the bridge where the strings go through. I meticulously look over everything on the guitar before i even restring. About a week ago i did all of this and more, just basic care of it, but after playing some of my fav songs i noticed this “pinch” noise everytime i played a certain range of notes, narrowed it down to being just my A string, specifically only when i try playing it on the 17th fret.

It sounds like the string is being caught by fabric or by something interrupting its “Wave” or vibration. It is only my “A” string, and only when played on the 17th, if i pressed down super hard, it only makes the sound worse, but when i play gently it almost wants to “go away”? If anyone got any tips or any advice please feel free to through them my way, as stated everything done to my instruments are 99% done by me, I hate leaving my stuff with people I don’t know, even if they are “reputable” :/ Guitar is my life and if someone could help me make mine sound great again I’d seriously appreciate it!
