Well I have been played for over 30 years… 😞

@@DarrenLockMusic Good for you. Well done, just keep it up! I'm actually born 2009. Three years before I born, this video it is release. unbelievably

You were born the same year as my son and two years after my daughter! 👍

@@DarrenLockMusic Don't kidding. 👍

No kidding. My kids are 16 & 14. 😎

You're going to love it. This bass is punchy and full of character - and a good second bass to have on hand as its short scale gives it a unique sound.

Yes, D’Angelico seem to be obsessed with the rather ornate art deco aesthetic, which I’m not too keen on either!

Those are Japanese made, right? Never tried one of those!

Then they ended up being a limited edition! 🙄

They were quite hard to find in the U.K.. 🫤

With age, it’s a finish that can vary wildly in appearance - a real oddity in the guitar world!

@@DarrenLockMusiccentury egg?

Glad you enjoyed it. Check out my other Starcaster videos: Squier Starcaster in Natural ua-cam.com/video/H4nt8ZCDQ7A/v-deo.html Fender Modern Player Starcaster ua-cam.com/video/8atD7xDzy5s/v-deo.html Fender vs Squier Starcaster ua-cam.com/video/AvEF0hCkris/v-deo.html

For Mini Brute : in, Guitar midi, and out, Mini Brute ?

It just does… Any MIDI track to the right of the MIDI Guitar 3 plugin channel is triggered. You could say it is MIDI magic!

Nah, I've got a three pickup Fender Strat that covers that tonal area.

Ha! I got something right for once! 😂😂😂

Yeah, been there, done that twice! 👍

@@DarrenLockMusicOh, so you did end up tying off Oud strings then after all? And it worked? I’ve been holding off using these strings I have, squirreling them back for the day one breaks and I’m forced to open a new set.

Nah, sold it - for the second time. If Godin cannot be bothered to support its instruments (one that it produced for nearly 20 years) and its customers then I don't really want to support them.But yeah, tying a knot in the ends will be fine. Go for it!

Sure, why not… Tell me how you get on! 👍

Hopefully, it will be useful to you! 👍

That’s if it even ends up being that. I’ve got numerous folders of songs on the go now. Lyrics are easy. Maybe I should do a video on lyric writing? 🤔

A video on lyric writing would be fabulous! As well as what goes through your mind when writing a bass track. Cheers!

Nothing goes through my mind when writing a bass track! 😂😂😂 Often I’m just trying to find something that just fits in the middle of everything harmonically and rhythmically speaking. Unless I’ve put the bass down first, then I’m just looking for something that’s hooky and again sympathetic to whatever rhythm track is there.

😂😂😂

The Roland VG series of processors nailed the whole guitar modelling thing - they were very good and I used them exclusively between 1999 and 2019. Then I sold that gear because it was aging and I was in fear of it breaking down. Now I have too many guitars!!!

I had a play on one of these a very long time ago, must say that I much preferred the telecaster setting than the real Tele though the LR BAGGS trem was a total disappointment, the play in the trem arm before the trem actually did anything was truly shocking.

Not good at all. If you want to do guitar modelling then you have to go back to the Roland VG series of processors. I had hope for this one, but it just disappointed me.

How to open a box, more like…

Ha ha ha…not this one…

Oh blame me, why don’t you… 🙄

It's worth a try, but it will be nothing like this sludge monster. The funny thing about this guitar is that it is sooo dark in tone with almost zero brightness in any setting and that's why I like it, because even though it is Strat shaped, it's nothing like a Strat sound!!!

My pleasure. Hopefully it was useful!

You mean the contour cut on the back? Not particularly. If I remember properly, this has some real rough fret edges which made it a little uncomfortable to play. Thanks for the kind words. 👍

@@DarrenLockMusic yes the belly cut the arm cut everyone is saying that strats are a lot comfortable telecasters feel like holding a plank of wood haha But I find tele sound is better and more versitale than a strat Thanks for replying

The delay is the stereo delay in Bias FX in Logic Pro X. The guitar is long sold, but for the money it is a very good buy (as are most Squiers I’ve played/bought over the past five years). 👍

@@DarrenLockMusic thanks for the info! Did you replace it with a fender jaguar?

I already had a Fender Jaguar HH. I was bequeathed a fan's guitar collection and that's what I'm documenting in this series. For more info, here's the story: ua-cam.com/video/CsPoIoQaKJg/v-deo.html

I had an LTD 8-string a decade ago that was better than this.

The one that was fucking awful…

That’s the magic of 12-string!

This is true…

Oh that one was sold last July… 😬

Fretless can be considered a microtonal instrument.

There’s no real tonal advantage. It’s more cosmetic than anything else. With two or three applications you certainly can get rid of that dry and dusty look and feel of pao ferro. The funny thing is I’ve had guitars that have a pao ferro fretboard and the guitar company has already treated the wood, so it doesn’t have to be like that in the first place. I think it’s Reverend who use pao ferro and pre-treat the wood.

@@DarrenLockMusic I agree…. These companies are cutting costs in every way possible. I’m trying to get over my issues with Pau Ferro. At the end of the day, the sonic differences are very minimal. But, yeah, the look is a big part of it. Seeing them hanging on the wall next to Rosewood, or even ebony, they just look cheap. But, these days I can’t afford to make purchases on that alone. That said, some of the Pau Ferro fretboard’s I’ve seen look incredible, and very “rich”. I’ve got my eye on a 2017 tele that I swear is Rosewood, given how dark and rich it looks. So, I may pull the trigger on it. There are some killer buys on the Pau Ferro strats/tele’s for those of us that can get past that part of it. So, this video was really helpful. Thanks again.

The visual aspect is one thing, but there's also a "feel" that you get with pao ferro that I'm not a fan of. I don't know if it is psychological or that I'm so used to rosewood, but the PF boards always feel a little gritty to me - and again this is down to bad finishing at source. I have a Fender fretless bass that has a PF board and I spent a lot of time sanding it with fine sandpaper to smooth it out and using this application to make it look more like rosewood. But this all should happen at the factory...

@@DarrenLockMusic Yes! I forgot about that. Although, with these lower end MIM guitars, the Rosewood had the same problem. My strat is from 2007-2008, and I had to take some fine-grit paper to that, as well. I've come to the conclusion that, short of buying a $4K guitar (and even those can have their problems), were living in a day and age to where, we're better off investing in some tools, and learning (at minimum) some intermediate guitar maintenance skills. In my case, I'm happy to pay someone to do that kind of work. But, these days, even in a big city like Orlando, FL...it's becoming impossible finding a *truly* competent luthier, who knows EXACTLY what they're doing, that's also affordable. I'm 52yrs old, and remember when luthiers were in every guitar shop on town. Another reason videos like these are so incredibly helpful to us relatively new at playing (or maintaining) this instrument.

Not particularly.

@@DarrenLockMusic ok thanks

It’s a fun, cheap little hardware sequencer. Excellent value if you can pick one up second hand and might be new to hardware sequencing! 👍

Indeed, it's top quality!

Interesting…🤔
