Wow that's awesome.
If you use a cable from headphone output to any amplifier input using a 1/8 to 1/4 cable you get amazing tones that you can also tweak with the eq of your amp.
Hello I’m just about to order a JP15 7 string cerulean paradise from Thomann to compliment my majesty artisan 7 marone. Since you have both do you recommend something else or go for it? Love your videos btw 😊
I bought a JPM P4 about 25 years ago used, I would never sell it.
Enjoy it ❤️
Awesomeness!!!!❤
Thank you!!
Demo starts at 2:50. Back to back at 6:05
So, do you still love it?
Still gets played!! 😄 I even ordered another from them
I just got them ulxd and it keeps telling me to turn down my gain till tone is washed down. What system will handle ultra high gain without drop outs. One guitar has invaders the other emgs. Can you crank the distortion on the glxd pedal?
UnBias 🇺🇸👍
I have no affiliation with them so I kept the review as honest as possible.
Man I am so sorry you’re having these Issues with your PRS. I just Laid away a S2 McCarty 594 Limited Edition. The Guitar is Beautiful and plays and sounds Awesome. But now I’m having Doubts if I’m doing the Right thing or Not. It’s Nitro finish also. It’s a shame that the SE guitars made in Indonesia are holding up better than the American made PRS. I’m tempted to back out on the Lay away and go another route.😞😞😞
Liked the Ride Like The Wind intro, l have the Sterling version from the last series, l got it 100.00 cheaper because of a blemish that l could barely see and put a Transition pickup in the bridge gun stock oiled waxed the neck and polished the frets.Great guitar!
That's awesome to hear!!
Is that a modeler or amp copier next to you. I have a helix flagship, just because I’ve already have years of the line 6 family and it works quite well together, I’m about to install a set of Seymour Duncan’s JB JRs in one of my Variax standards . I have 2 of them love them they have come a long way no digital hiss, it does so much tons of different tunings, plus anyway, if you’ve got wiring diagrams for an on/on/on set of toggles so I can get everything out if these. I only heard thr bridge pickup when I installed it in a c,iamts Strat, had the bridge pup on turned on just 1 line 6 DT 50 on the ultra high gain setting. Wow nlpwn away,
I’m a small local Wisconsin luthier, over the years I’ve had most major brands including T heavy priced PRS Custom 24, to this day that was my favorite. I created 4 clones of a PRs 24 and they were magnificent. My second favorite id]d a very close cousin the Gibson Les Paul Double Cut Standard with exabition grade quilted maple hand carved topsepele body and neck, slight body chamber. I purchased a used PRs custom 24 rotary switch, all the coil cuts and polarity are all controlled inside, some people complain they are slow, don’t bother me. Nice guitars
That first tele is classic perfect.
It really is
I used to have a PRS CE that looked exactly like yours, it came with a bolt on neck, I set the neck wish I kept it.
Kind of like the restaurant that was famous for its thick and delicious clam chowder. One day, the manager decided the restaurant would make more money by watering down the clam chowder. It worked for a while. But eventually, the loyal customers started going to other restaurants.
That isn’t PRS fault - blame the EPA and California for the lack of Poly.
Because it sounds so different to all the other Les Pauls! Gibson took you for a fool!
I just came across LSL the other day as far as their guitars. Surprised never heard of them, I thought about seeing if I could get one of their guitars to do a review. Then I saw the price🤣 Maybe if I had 10,000x the amount of subs I do now, Great Pedals😎🤙
Their pedals are amazing for sure. The guitars are a great investment too.
@@ZackSeifMusic it’s pretty cool to find a Company that does both well
"why their VINTAGE amps are the best on the market now" Best on the market? Profilers -- Kemper, Quad Cortex, Tonex, NAM -- capture the vintage amps directly. Axe FX can't _beat_ that. The best it can do is get _as_ close. IMO, it doesn't. Axe FX has its own sound. Whether you prefer that is a matter of taste.
Bad quality for expensive guitar
My guy..lol we used to cover this at every show we played from 2009/2011
It's such a sick song! One of my all time favorites and my favorite off of An Ocean Between Us.
since you been gone is kinda a weird song for a wedding band xd
This was pre-wedding band! I played SUBG with my last 2 agency bands though and it ALWAYS went off haha.
@@ZackSeifMusic Ah haha
I thought Novo used P45's
Fralin P90s were stock in my Select J :D
I have used Fractal gear since they first came out. Here’s the way I do it. Let’s say I’m using the Dirty Shirley patch. I set it up with my Les Paul dial in all the eq , tones, etc. to my liking. Then I make a copy of that patch and label it for my Stratocaster. Then I adjust those tones, etc. for my Strat. I was on the original “Ultra” user list and haven’t used anything but Fractal as my amp and effects, since. While it does a great job with all kinds of amps, I only use 2-3 different amp models when I play live. I find that in my Pop, Rock, Country band, three amps spread out amongst those genre’s covers the tone pallet, without make my tone and “feel” jump from one extreme to another. I want my live tone to have some continuity, within the genres I’m playing. So for me, FAS is great for all they offer, and then, how I can take those main three patches, “EQ” them to the type of guitar I’m using, and also bring in various effects as needed on new songs we might cover. One more thought., if anyone is going to try my method, I HIGHLY recommend building and copying your patches in a setting where you can play at performance volumes. To Zack’s point, in his reply to my comment, you want to make things as simple as possible for the sound board folks, by having your volumes as close as possible, regardless which patch & guitar you’re using. Great video, Zack!
That's definitely the main approach most players take! What you were doing Rich is definitely a more versatile approach especially if you only use one main amp tone during the night, and you just cycle presets for the different guitars. Since I personally prefer to use a single preset for the night since it makes leveling easier for our A1 tech a little bit easier, I get to set these levels and then forget them on a single preset. Otherwise I would have up to 16 presets if everything was on its own haha! Appreciate you sharing your insight😊
Zach, Great video and helpful information!
Really appreciate that Rich, thank you very much!!
Thanks for the vid will give this a try on my FM3, I have an ibanez AZ and this will come in handy with my clean preset as I often find myself lowering the volume (via expression pedal) on the humbucker positions to level out with the single coil positions
Hope it works out for you! That's a great guitar for sure. Let me know how it goes Josh :D
***Slight correction I missed while editing: Both types of pickups use only a single magnet, but while single coils feature a single coil, humbuckers have two coils wired in opposite polarity to each other to create the humbucking effect*** I knew this, but when you talk about and teach music all day you slip on these things every now and then 😅
Slacker.
Well the abby is definitely the most iconic one!!! By far...
It's legendary!!
Hello why did you choose 24 08 over the DGT ? Thank you 🙏
More versatile and more frets :D plus a smaller neck and fretwire make it easier to play for me
Mission Engineering SP-1-BK or fractal ev2? and one more thing, what is the diffrecen Mission Engineering SP-1-BK and EP-1 ?
SP has a spring, so for WAH and WHAMMY it always returns back to 0 for you. I prefer mission overall but never used the Fractal EV as I don't need anymore pedals at the moment :D
Man I was in high school when Images&Words came out asked my dad to buy that guitar and looked at me like I had 2 heads 🤑😂. I believe those were the best times of DT before he switched to MM his tone just sounded cleaner less meaty . Good luck with it you’re a lucky guy and it’s even in great condition which is hard to find !
Rock on!!! Thanks for sharing this story!
Gone are days of land empires!
Hell yeah! Glad someone knows that riff \m/
My favorite clean tone is ca3+
Its sooo good!! Great choice.
DT the best. Good vid.
You already know! Thanks for watching.
Okay, so mister Petrucci wanted to combine his 3 favorit woods in the body. But if half of the body is cut out because of the trem and the extra electronics cavities it really makes no sense. It wouldn't even make a difference if the guitar would had a fixed bridge and no electronics at all. With all the extra options in the body a single wood choice is what I would go for. For the neck and fretboard you can choose other woods.
.......if you're value is "light" guitars, an idea for one of your video could be to compare your £7,000 Gibson with a Vigier, vee zhay.......a female equivalent of you, Mary Spender, who does guitar reviews on KZread, says a Vigier is her favourite guitar......&i I remember a guitar magazine reviewer describing Vigier as the lightest make of guitars, electric guitars.....I'll watch out for you doing that.
I am just starting out, mostly headphone use. Think this one all right?
Yes with headphones this is awesome
Which do you prefer this Tbone or your Saticoy? Which has the more fuller, room filling tone?
Oh man they both do two totally different things. I love both. I think the Saticoy has the slightest edge with a humbucker in the bridge but the T-Bone still has more gigs under its belt.
Is the horizontal cab already broken in ?
Oh yeah that one has had hundred of shows under its belt by the time I made this video.
A 9lb smallmouth bass
That would be a good day on the water
@@ZackSeifMusicyes sir 😎👍
Prs 😍
Great guitars!
And femboy thighs lmao
His Ibanez from the 1980's still rocks. I have two Roadstar II guitars from the 1980's and still love them. I have a black 1985 RS430 as played by Michael J Fox in Back To The Future Pin Heads Audition which is almost mint condition and a RS520 but gold hardware worn and its not pearl white anymore.
That's a really cool story! Appreciate you sharing that here. yeah the Roadstar IIs were unique for sure, I got to play a few when I worked at a music store in college.
do you know if aux input have latency?
Aux should not have any
@@ZackSeifMusic the spark mini has a lot so is not posible used for digital external instruments like samplers. I really like this tinny but i need with the doble purpose
Anyone know which exactly op-amps / preamps fractal use in their hardware (fm9)? Tried to find mainboard picture with good quality... And mission failed 😁
For someone like me the easy wearing is a good thing, I love a truly worn in guitar.
In terms of sheer collectibility/desirability, would you say this is equal to, higher than or lesser than the Crystal Amethyst models?
The Nebula will retain the highest value of all current Majesty models due to their desirability and the fact that it's been John's main since it came out. These are selling higher than any other variant right now and have been.
@@ZackSeifMusic interesting; I’m not sure what they were at retail, but as far as I can see on Reverb, the Nebula goes for $10k (in my country’s weak Australian dollar, lol) and the Crystal Amethyst goes for up to $13k Having said that, those are just list prices and not necessarily sale prices
Musicman are still kings and queens after all these years....Together with ErnieBall strings:👌🏼🙏🏼💫🎶🎸🇺🇲❤ Regards from Sweden🇸🇪
What's shipping time to the States?
nvm, you just said it lol.. just had to watch the video ha ha
All good! They actually just added a new courier that's even faster than when I got mine earlier this year.
I have them on my FM9 and FM3/FC6. Love them! Same great communication and customer service as described. Recommend... ✝️🙏❤️🎸🎶
Great to hear!!!
