How much sustain do you have?

[Rollercoaster]

Jus wondering, if you play a note on your guitar and let it sustain, how long will yours last? I dun have my guitar with me now, but I think mine last somewhere between 6-8 seconds.

 

[ShredCow]

Can you be more specific? E.g. which fret & which string?

An open low E string can ring longer than the fretted E note on A string 7th fret.

i think there is tthe part of the sustain thats loud and then the part that lingers on...much softer...which one u talkin bout :lol:

 

[edder]

with my big muff and my sahasrara overdrive cascading... i can hold the note, drink a pint of beer, pull some nostril hair, dig my ears, clean my belly button, drink another pint of beer and it'll still be ringing....

how lah like that?

*jaw drop*Hey edder, if you really mean what you say, can you teach me how to get that kinda sustain? What is the secret to getting that endless sustain that everybody is craving for?

 

[Rollercoaster]

Hey Aging Youth, no cheating lah!

 

[Rollercoaster]

Hey Shredcrow, sorry I overlook something, maybe 7 fret B string?

With amp or no amp? Clean or overdriven?

If overdriven with amp, 15 sec on my LP (until the note stops ringing) and 13 on my Strat.

 

[edder]

rollercoaster... with cascading insane gain, neck humbucker, play around the 12fret area, play loud at the right angles....

 

[AgingYouth]

Holy shit! That's sexy and dangerous too!!!

 

[shioks76]

Infinite sustain.

With my fernandes sustainer of course

my guitar sustains longer than yours













i win i win

Hey edder, I try doing what you told me and the sustain only last 1 or 2 second more, I was thinking it could be my gear or something. Is there anything else that I can do to increase my sustain or anything? Like get a stomp box? I know a lot of things contribute to having that long sustain, but my mind is set to change my pickup to the Bare Knuckle Mules pickup, so that can't be change, jus wondering is there any other thing I can do.

 

[bluepowder]

it could just be your guitar's setup really bad :lol:
