@@brunorabelo4 thanks for sharing!Since making this video I have seen similar ones on some music man basses as well

I gotta admit I'd be tempted to just keep the weird pickups for recording special effects type weirdness, it sounds kinda cool! Maybe not so good for playing guitar though haha

Short scale stuff is so underrated I reckon, it's so much fun!

I do my best!

I like it 🤷‍♂️

Those blue floral jems are sooo cool! One of my favourite looking guitars

@@richardclarkmoore plays just as good as my Japan Jem and it's been a month and I'm still in tune.

I’m sure it would do the trick! But the best thing to do is to get your hands on the guitars and try the techniques to see how it feels I reckon

@@MidlifeRenaissanceMan algorithm has chosen to connect us! But yeah you lose a lot in the video making process, especially with cleans. I hope the eggplant was delicious haha

The eggplant: It was pretty good. Not as nice as your clean tone….or mine for that matter. Baked with some olive oil, lemon from a lemon, a sprinkle of 2,000,000 old Himalayan salt (with a use by Sept 2022) and some green herbs from a packet that said “Greek herbs” Went with a slow roasted lamb shoulder, and other roasted vegetables 😊 It’s funny. I like my cleans slightly dirty and most of my favourite dirty tones are quite clean. When I impersonate a guitarist, I use a modified Marshall 8080 Valvestate and drive the line out from that into a Silverface Fender Bassman 100 on a Garry Nessel quad. Run the two Marshall stacked on top. When I play it, it fills the room with _tone._ Tone that embraces you, hold you close (no homo) and makes you feel all warm and secure and loved….like the start of a bottle of triple distilled whiskey….not the end of the bottle, when the police are called….just the start Haven’t found the ideal way to record it….yet. I’ll have to soon It’s funny how you can dial up a sound and it’s lush, and full, and tickles all the right dopamine reputable inhibitors, and, when you lay it down with the rest of the instruments it’s mushy and _meh_ But that is the secret we all strive for. A purpose in life we can use to stave off atrophy. Cheat death. 😊

@@Lordofmrak nah I get ya, probably still looks the same though, so people might still think you’re a John Mayer superfan if you play a silver sky 🤷‍♂️

@@richardclarkmoore Only other guitar players (not all of them), nobody else would know. And I thought it was an internal feeling of not being "my own guitar", if we include what others think, well, that is another thing. I was actually thinking of buying SIlver Sky SE and putting Fralins to change the sound to my liking, I do not like Mayer, but I do like PRS quality compared to Fender.

Thanks dude!

I mean I do love music, but I guess this channel isn’t really about music, it’s about guitars 🤷‍♂️

And he'll never even know... how sad hahaha

I like all the guitar music, but nothing else quite scratches the itch of a chunky downtuned riff does it? You're more than welcome dude, thanks for being along for the ride :)

Thanks Simon, I appreciate it! :)

Always one hater haha

I just improvise all the riffs, saves me from getting hit with copyright ;)

I dunno I think a few people ignored it haha

Probably is, that’s the beauty of making a video in a hurry. Sure is getting me some comments though 😉

I made em bigger! Haha cheers mate 👌

Axesrus make one, they call it the “Juan mod”. Originally done by Robbie Robertson

Good to know, that would be a fun mod to do!

Yeah Man, this one’s a couple years old, but I do love the variety!

I reckon more gain next time eh 👌

Fair enough, this one definitely isn’t for everyone!

The magic is the defining factor, I'll give you that! Some guitars are just perfect

I'd say that's quite a low estimate

This one probably ain't for you then mate!

I really feel for ya'll leftys eh, its rough out there <3

Wasted feature or nice attention to detail? It’s just one less thing to upgrade for someone who really likes the guitar I reckon

@@richardclarkmoore My point is that a graphite/graphtech style nut is really only useful when using a tremolo (and even then it is not NECESSARY). With a stop tail it does not provide any better or worse tuning stability compared to a plastic nut.

@riffsnoleads you may be right, but if it’s one less thing to worry about, I still think it’s good! Upgraded components that make you feel better about the guitar are worthwhile 😌

I’m just now learning that yes he did!

And every one will call you Robbie Robertson

Yeah, what is it with the frets??? They're so chonky that it makes you fret the notes sharp if you apply any pressure to the strings

@Joe-ri7bi not used to jumbo frets maybe? They stick out pretty far and it gives you more chances to wear them down and get them dressed again

We love to mod guitars here, so nice when companies make it easy to do so eh?

@@richardclarkmoore Indeed. DS really is optimal especially for someone who isn’t a fender diehard

Probably should have, but how it sounds under distortion is still a useful test! Also it’s not like we can tell exactly how a guitar is going to sound from KZfaq, more of an educated guess at best, which is why I don’t stress too much about tones when making these videos 🤷‍♂️

@@richardclarkmoore yeah, why have good tones when you're doing a demo.....

@timhern3841 next time at least one clean tone, just for you 😉

@@richardclarkmoore don't bother. I won't be watching any more of your videos.

@@timhern3841 That's cool, I'll do it anyway :P thanks for helping make this video reach more people though! The algorithm sure does love lots of comments

Try it! If you don’t like it you can always change it back!

So you’re telling me, you have watched the video about a weird, mid-priced Strat, and now you’re here commenting to say you just want a normal, cheaper Strat? Fair enough hahaha 😂

I bet it’s got some crazy chunky tone!

Absolutely yes!

That would be tight 👌

The made in Japan ones are great 👌

That’s good to hear! Good info too I don’t play 7s anymore and I can’t remember what gauge people use, I only know 6 and 8 haha

So I don’t play 7s, mostly just 8s but you can always unwind the string a bit to get it through the tuning head, which is something I always have to do with a .080 on the low f# of my 8 string

It’s not a song unfortunately, I just improvise all the riffs and stuff for these videos, you wanna learn it you gotta keep watching the video and figure it out! Good luck!

@@richardclarkmoore Thank you so much!

I will, it’s such a mongrel hahah

Maybe it's a sign you should learn! It hurts though haha

@@richardclarkmoore I actually posted a video but about running. Next step will be to set up my podcast. Thanks for your tips this week.
