Cool ! Quand tu dis qu'elle sonne vintage, tu veux dire un peu plus dark, un peu moins punchy que la SC Custom II ?
@ToroKchannel3 күн бұрын
Pour moi le côté vintage vient des medium assez bas et d'aigus qui sont très raisonnables. Du coup oui, ça sonne un peu plus dark. A contrario, les Roswell HAF de la custom II ont des mediums plus hauts et offrent un son plus agressif et modern.

Hi mate. Nice review 👍. Can you give me a sugestion?. I need a guitar to Record Punk/Metal songs, i loved the design of Harley Benton SC1000 Progressive Line for 195€ and has good reviews, but now that i saw about the SC Custom 3 for 295€, i don't know which one to pick. Is it better the Sc1000 or the Custom 3 for 100€ more?. And if the answer is the custom 3, better the active or passive version?.

Hi man ! I don't wanna spoil my next video but the SC Custom III active is way better than the SC 1000 and, speaking about tone, for punk/metal music, you should fall in love with it. I will release the review video of this SC Custom III active on sunday, then you will realize by yourself ;)

La SC II est pour ma part meilleure, juste 5 secondes ont suffit! Les micros sont plus détaillés, un peu plus "crunchy" je dirai. J'ai une Ibanez dans le style mais active, une Art12 white qui à plus de 15 ans et une autre Ibanez GAX30 black, beaucoup plus légère et facile à jouer... Mais beaucoup moins punchy aussi! J'ai eu une Yamaha RG 320 FZ dans mes début, une guitare que j'avais un peu de mal à jouer mais très stylée en noir avec liseré crème sur tout le contour du corp et accastillages chrome.

@ToroKchannel15 күн бұрын
It sounds pretty good with some hi gain tones eventhough the pickups don't have that much output. The tuning stability is correct, I can't tell you exactly how long it will stay in tune cos' it depends upon how hard you attack the strings and if you play rhythm or lead parts. A better nut would improve the tuning stability for sure but as such, you can probably play several tracks without thinking about it. And yes you can play solos on it very comfortably.

I've never had a SGR guitar in hands, they're not easy to find here in Europe. But I've had a Schecter C-6 Deluxe and it looks like it's pretty much the same. The Ibanez KIKO is a great player but if you're afraid with the FR, just don't go there. The RG421 is very close to my RGA 42 FM and it also is an amazing player, the neck is just a tiny bit thinner than what you have on Schecter. But I think the pickups are better on your Schecter. I don't think these Ibanez are a real upgrade for you. If you want something really better, you should go for a Schecter CR6 (or C-6 Pro in Europe), or a C-1 platinum. They're way more expensive of course, but you could find one on the used market for an interesting price.

La HB custom a également de très bons arguments, le son des micros paraît effectivement plus défini et doivent proposer plus de possibilités Deux modèles très convaincants. Je m’intéresse principalement au metal et je vois que harley Berton propose aujourd’hui en 2024 de supers grattes , quand j’ai arrêté à l’époque , HB n’avait que quelques rares modèles et une réputation assez médiocre….

Ok I have been tearing my head off searching for a secondary axe I know I should have already had one but I never had enough money to replicate the level of comfort and range of tones my schecter with emg 81 85 accomplishes I've been playing for over 20 years actively and I've had new guitars and sent them packing I've been craving a ec1000 because my brother got one and he swore by it, anything over 800 bux is a wee bit out of my current price range. I bought chibson EC2 from Ali express and it was a disaster. But i stumbled across the harley bentons and I have gone back and fourth and back and I think I was a HB sc1000 I'm expecting the hardware to be sub par So I'm planning on adding new tonepros bridge, grover tuners, emg or Fishman Anything else I can expect? Trashy Tone pots ? Bad solder on jack? Rough frets? Or is it just luck of draw
@ToroKchannel16 күн бұрын
I've had several EC 1000 in my hands, so I can tell you what I remember. The main weakness of this axe lies in its tuners so you're right to prepare yourself to replacing them. The bridge and tailpiece are not really necessary in my personal experience. The edges of the frets were ok on all the SC 1000, but they all needed a good polish job. You will realize that by yourself when you play you first bend :) Never had any problem with the electronics in general. I've had fun playing this axe for over 2 years and the only reason why I sold it was a lack of room. For a secundary axe, it's doing a great job. Another possibility lies in the SC custom III active. I've ordered one with active PU and will review it pretty soon. Not the same price, but it's got a better hadware (grover tuners are stock), better upper frets access, now I'm just wondering how good or bad the Tesla active PU are.

J'aime aussi la mélodie du début qui revient à 34:10 Hâte de voir les prochaines vidéos ! Tu utilises quoi comme matos pour t'enregistrer? Carte son ça je suppose mais quel DAW? Un simu d'ampli ou en physiqu? Des VST pour basse et batterie virtuelle? J'adore la couleur de la ESP LTD EC 256 au passage, elle est est bien pour le rock ou plus typée metal comme la schecter? Je suppose que tu as en a fait une review, donc j'irai voir si j'ai pas déjà vu ! Au passage, j'adore le son de la Schecter Omen 7 Extreme choisie grâce à tes vidéos ! Même si je débute, même en faisant des powerchords à la "Gaëtane" donc de débutante , ça envoie du steak! Merci encore une fois ! Je l'ai même testé sur un ampli pas cher, le Harley Benton HB 15GXD (que j'ai acheté chez Thomann pour les cours) , bah écoute, le son est correct pour le prix de l'ampli. Ca reste un ampli léger, d'appoint, donc pas le gros truc haut de gamme ou à lampe, mais ça vaut le détour. Je te mets le lien si tu veux y jeter une oreille et que tu connais pas, www.thomann.de/fr/harley_benton_hb_15gxd_jambox.htm !

De rien pour la Schecter, moi aussi je l'adore :) Je note pour le petit HB 15 GDX c'est vrai que je ne me suis jamais intéressé aux amplis à transistor de HB, je suis trop addict aux lampes, je crois !
