Love this. So many pedals only you have to spend time dialling it in to find their one good sound. This one seems to sound good no matter what you do to it. I totally want one. Do you know if they ship to the UK? While I'm here, you have a great right arm. Even if it is your left

If I recall correctly the late Kim Shattuck of The Muffs used a Seymour Duncan Antiquity (which I assume was lower output, I could be wrong) in her axe and she had an absolutely ferocious buzzsaw sound But the main advantage of lower output pups is on the right amp you can roll down the volume to clean up the sound

@peterbos3487 4 күн бұрын

Great tips, and agree completely. It is a shame that the line-out and USB out (with configuration at 200%) sound signal levels on all the Boss Kanata series are way to low. The line-out of the Boss (katana Artist) is more an instrument out. On my Focusrite 18i8 I get decent sound using one of the two Hi-Z inputs but with the Line-In input I get almost no sound. You also see several DIY projects on internet how to keep sound on your Boss speaker using the rec out signal. With some effects on some Boss series being stereo you would also expect the Line-out to be Stereo. Boss should more focus on customer demands and stay on agreed specs in the market (line-out spec, Midi specs)

My immediate reaction to replacing the original bridge on my AVRI Jazzmaster and installing a Mastery was "Wait, this sounds terrible!". I gave it an honest try for about 2 months, put the original back on and instantly it sounded like a true Jazzmaster again. Sure, it kept the strings in place, but who cares if it kills the tone of the guitar. Total waste of money.

I've been playing 39 years and never have had this pedal. I have had variants of it cloned, but I use right now one of the best over many others I have had that happens to be a very cheap pedal by Caline called the Capt Silver which has a TS9 and TS808 option in it. Amazingly, doesn't change your tone and just boosts it and tightens the bottom flubby end. Now having said this. I just bought from zzounds the Ibanez Tube Screamer last night and it will be here in a few days. I can't wait to see how close they are and which one will I end up using on my board.

Hi Eric, I’m currently doing the same thing to my 60’s vibe jazzmaster. I just finished the copper in the cavity. I did run into one issue. I bought Seymour Duncan antiquity II pick ups. I noticed on the video you only left the bridge ground wire in the cavity. I’m unsure if I need to do the same thing? From what it looks like in the video , you didn’t need the other two ground wires.

@EricMerrow 25 күн бұрын

Yeah that’s correct. Once the pick guard is installed (provided there shielding tape on the back of the guard) it’ll make contact with the cavity ground

Hey man, I know you probably won't read this but... I am a left handed bass player aswell and I am looking forward to buy a new bass, as you might probably know, finding a good left handed bass is pretty hard and I am having a hard time finding the correct one, so I wanted to ask you. Would you recommend this bass? (Sorry for yapping)

@EricMerrow 26 күн бұрын

Please don’t apologize for asking this question! It’s a great question for sure. I would absolutely recommend the Squier Classic vibe P bass. If you get one, it’ll probably need a bit of a setup but the beauty is that the instrument is so simple it’s hard for it to be unplayable right out of the box. The problem arises from Squier discontinuing a lot of their lefty models - quite unfortunately. If you’re having trouble finding one, I’d suggest reverb.com of course. Alternative brands/models in this price range would probably Ibanez (they’ve got a lefty Talman bass that looks super cool), G&L would be a good choice (their tribute line is more affordable) and then possibly a used fender player series could work too. I hope this all helps!

I’ve got a TVL Jazzmaster, really love the guitar but I have an issue with the vintage style bridge being that the saddle on the screw on the high e needs to be set so high that it has literally popped off while jamming with a band. The design isn’t very reliable so I’ve been considering installing a M1-KIT: M1 Mastery Bridge and set of MT Mastery Thimbles. Everyone is talking about the sound which makes sense, but how is this bridge for consistent play and reliability? I want to make this guitar as consistent as possible. Awesome video, thanks!

@EricMerrow 26 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching! First, that TVL JM is so rad - I'm glad you have one! Second, my suggestion would be to check your neck angle bc if there's too much tilt in the neck pocket, the bridge will need to sit higher up off the body. Another quick-ish fix for the issue would be to try and raise the whole bridge a bit and then you could screw the saddle height adjustment screws back into the saddle. This all kinda comes packaged with the recommendation of "get the guitar setup properly." And finally third, The Mastery bridge is expensive but great. I really enjoy that it does not have the wobble that the vintage style bridges have. It's not quite as adjustable as the vintage bridges bc there are essentially only 2 saddles so intonation is just a tiny bit tricker (I've never had any issues with intonation honestly). But the mastery is absolutely rock solid. If I were in your position and I had my heart set on a mastery then I would purchase a bridge but then also make sure the guitar is setup properly bc the Jazzmaster is such a particular guitar when it comes to setup - and having everything setup properly will make the mastery work even that much better. Hope my rambling helped!

I have a RAT pedal, one of the reissues and it doesn't make that hissing noise I hear in half the demos here. Maybe the pickups or amp? I use a Tele, Strat, and Les Paul, all with a 68' Bassman, which has been modded all to shit, mainly to clean up the circuit. Maybe it's the JCM800 you're using? No idea. Otherwise, really enjoyed the video.

Hi Eric, this and your previous video have been super valuable for somebody trying to get over their apathy towards processing tracks through a DAW. Would you consider doing a video on how you add time-based effects to mixes?

If I wanted to record with a scarlett focusrite 2i2, would that still be possible with this kind of amp? I’m very new when it comes to recording anything at all and if possible, would I be able to hear audio through headphones rather than just the amp speaker?

@EricMerrow 28 күн бұрын

With the way I lay out in this video, you’d absolutely be able to record with your 2i2. You’ll take the ‘rec out’ on the amp and plug it into one of the inputs on your 2i2. Doing this will defeat the amp’s speaker - so you’re not going to hear anything from the amp. In order to hear the amp you’ll need to use the headphone out on the 2i2. I hope I made sense here
