Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks..but I think I got the bass too low in the mix! I'm re-posting another mix..just for the sake of trying something!

Thanks man! Very kind words!

Thanks! Just having fun!

It's just an idea, at the time, two years ago..I think it kind of sucks to be honest..but I share the good with the bad. Is what it was.

Thanks!

Thanks!

@@slide8570 Dig! Oh, and I've always wanted one of those tele-baritones.😁(Sounds sweet in your hands, too!) My co-writer is starting to get pretty handy with a six string bass he's attached himself to, so... It might be a cool mix with a bari. 🤔 Cheers!

@@BWP-u3y Got nothing to lose by trying something new! Cheers bro!

Thanks for that response. I know I blamed Amazon for the content arriving as it did, but it was shipped by an outside source. I just want people to know what they might be receiving if buying from Amazon. A lot of people buy guitars online these day's as many music stores went by the wayside long ago, the point of the video that I shared, was to make people aware of what you buy isn't always what you get. I also want people to understand quality control..as in the messed up tuner etc. Years ago, you could walk into a music store, in most towns, and play an instrument, today we, as a people tend to buy online. I'm trying to help people understand that even if it's not perfect, the thing you bought online, can be made to suit your needs. The OEM who shipped the guitar with all of it's imperfections..there you go. Quality vs quantity.

@@slide8570 you are right and it does show some of the vendors don’t care. Even though Amazon doesn’t pack it they should have criteria for acceptable shipping packages from their vendors.

I will man..but I'm still trying to get this thing to "my" standards of how I want this thing to play! It's a good guitar..but man, the quality control that day sucked!

Thanks for the tip. I built a shim to go between the bridge block and the body in between the springs so I won't have to block the bridge at the top of the body. Appreciate the information though!!

I built something new that is not on the market but would alleviate the need anything between the bridge and the finish. It works great. And I may share that in the next video. In the meantime I ordered some locking tuners to put on this guitar, and some other things as well. I'm a tinkerer!

I had a Japanese model from the 90's that was a great guitar! I sold it for what I paid for it. I missed that guitar and bought the one you see in the video..and you can see why I might have been a little disappointed with Ibanez. I'll make it work, and it's a nice guitar, just not built to the standard that I would expect from Ibanez.

Exactly..get rid of them! But a lot of people don't know that..especially beginners. I had an RG470 back in the early 90's, made in Japan, perfect out of the box. But the shipping and QC on this one sucked. I have no idea what wage these people make when they made it. So, I take that into consideration. I'll fix it the way I want it. I just want people to be aware of what they 'might' receive if they buy one. Thanks for the comment.

I used to manage a music store back in the 90's and sold a lot of guitars. I made sure they had new strings, set up properly, etc. Today, most guitars, like the one you saw in the video, are purchased online, you don't get to see it, you don't get to play it, you don't get to hear it..you just hope it will meet your expectations. It is what it is..just a random guitar bought online to play and figure out! I have fun doing that.

I advise everyone to NEVER buy any guitar they haven't played in person so you can see and hear what you're getting. Too much QC issue potential

I just use what I have. Just a little gopro type camera.

Just a side note Vince..I made this video to maybe help someone else. I didn't make it to meet some kind of video standard. Maybe you can do that. I use what I have and learn as I go..you do you.

@@slide8570Dude! At least pony up twenty bucks for a tripod, to steady the jerky movement. I had to stop the video midpoint to take a Benadryl, as I was getting dizzy!!! Not trying to be a dick, just a suggestion to (hopefully) improve the quality of your content…

@@suzukiyesteryear Yeah..sorry! I have a tripod but decided to shoot by hand as it was just faster.

@@slide8570 No worries, mate! Much like perfecting guitars, so goes video production skills…

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm using an open C tuning but this is the description I got from google as far as tuning : While no standard tuning has been established for baritone guitars, popular tunings for the instrument are: a perfect fourth lower than a standard guitar (B1-E2-A2-D3-F♯3-B3), a perfect fifth lower (A1-D2-G2-C3-E3-A3), or a major third lower (C2-F2-B♭2-E♭3-G3-C4).

Correction: I was tuned down to B flat open.

Thank you!

Thanks

I'm trying to remember how I recorded that! I think it was the middle pickup, it was an old Line6pod with compression turned on ran to my old TubeWorks amp, with outboard reverb, and maybe some delay added. Thanks!

I also think I used tremolo on that tune.

Thanks!

Thanks..glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Hi Bob! Hope that was a good Dayum! lol

@@slide8570 yeah. That reminded me of the old days.

Yeah...it was fun at the time! Gave me something to do!

Thanks!

I'm currently in PA

Thanks Brad..just playing the guitar, working at it anyway! Just trying to get sounds out..appreciate the comment my friend!

I play the harmonica I live in Washington state

@@BradLeonard-sq6og You got any harmonic videos? I checked your channel and didn't see anything. I've always been a fan of harp players..would like to hear you!

@@slide8570 I only have one and it's on KZbin and it's like a long time ago 2013 it's on look it up it's 49er fan rocks the house in Seahawk territory

@@slide8570 I got a friend of mine who is kind of my idol from California his name is little John Chrisley look him up best in the whole country

That would have been fun!

a partner would be good too, haha !

Thanks!

He eventually got re-married and sadly passed away a couple of years ago due to cancer. Best friend I ever had! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks man!

Thanks!

Trying!

Thank you Smack! I appreciate your comment!

As an interesting side note, maybe, SRV used 13 gauge strings. I just used 08 to 38 gauge because it's easier for me to play. That probably won't matter to anyone really but me. Thanks again for the kind comment!

Thanks my friend!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Really nice necks on those guitars! I like the ebony fret board.

A similar neck profile, that I like, is the EVH Wolfgang.

I don't know..I don't listen to Metallica..so maybe accidentally? lol Thanks!

I just play my friend! I'm happy that you enjoyed it! I just posted another one messing with my old Kramer guitar that I had to modify..but it's just an idea..like most things I do . Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you!

Thank you..glad you liked it!

Thanks bro! BBQ and Guitars..nothing better!

Thanks brother! Play loud my friend :)!

Thanks Brendan!

Thanks again my friend. I know tone is subjective to everyone. I took guitar lessons from some old Italian guy when I was about 12, his name was Al, and he always told me "Sing when you play!", unfortunately I have the bad habit of humming when I play..but I try to get the tone of what my voice sounds like, or might sound like if played through a guitar. If that makes sense. Jeff Beck was the master of making a guitar have a vocal quality to it. I checked out your channel and watched the one vid you had posted..and if I did what your kiddo did, I'm assuming, I'd bust my neck! Nice drop-in on the skateboard. Play on my friend.

@@slide8570 hi cheers I've been thinking of posting some skating stuff of my boys and myself as my phone is getting filled up with all these short clips. Gotta get back to playing guitar too. Lifes so busy.

@@Skate_48 Life get busy bro! Good for you spending time with your boys..plenty of time left for playing! Thanks for the kind words..post some of those skating vids. I remember when I was young trying to do stuff on a skateboard..not so successful..lol. But it was fun!

Thank you!

Great piece , Bit of a knoffler feel, well done. Ditto on the other comment.

Thanks Brandon..glad you enjoyed it. @@Skate_48

Brendan! Sorry!

Thanks!

lol..thanks!

Thanks!
