A TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST GUITARIST? | SCHECTER INK BOMB

[@JamieChorley]

05:54 - For anyone else with active pickups, don't forget what the screw either side of your pickup is for. If you feel like you hear too much of your lower strings and not enough of your high ones, move your pickup away from the lower strings and closer to the higher strings. The closer the pickup is to the string, the higher the energy transfer to the pickups. It doesn't matter what pickup you have, moving it closer or further from the strings will effect the output, and you absolutely can use the vertical angle of your pickup to effect the volume balance from low to high strings.

[@linzgilbank1750]

Man that tone is so raw and pure. I have always preferred passive pickups in the way that you described it

[@davud2789]

those chords from Makeshift Harmony sound magical

[@BoyAditya]

Seeing Seymour Duncan active on schecter guitar, feels like early 2000s 😌

[@carlosalbertomunozgiron6089]

beauty of a guitar 😁😃😍

[@fives.]

Shout outs the Jarzombek appreciation, dude's an absolute weapon even still

[@echodub81]

Those C Series Schecters are damn fine.. look good, play great. I am saving atm for the C1 SLS Elite but this one here looks great too

[@vootabangee1]

As an owner of several Schechter's, including a C-1 40th anniversary edition, there are very few other manufacturers with the specs and overall greatness that is Schecter. Especially at their price points compared to others with WORSE specs at double and triple the price! Thanks man! Happy new year brother!

[@jasoncrump1886]

Sounds awesome. I've never really messed with the dadgad tuning before . May mess around with that tonight.

[@Zion-18]

Always love hearing you dial in tones! So much killer gear in that room to choose from, too.

[@maynardcrow6447]

Ive played EMGs exclusively for a long time and always just thought it was normal my high strings just dont ring out loud enough. I never thought it to be a pickup problem. Adam Jones uses JBs and Ive wanted to make the switch but will be making the switch now. As always John you are very Informative.

[@finnancahill2644]

I may be wrong about this, but I am pretty sure we perceive lower notes in a chord more than higher notes because of the way our primary auditory cortexes are arranged. We are more tuned to frequencies in the upper mid range, but I think that changes when multiple notes are played simultaneously. I took a perception psychology class that covered this, but honestly I may be misremembering it

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

@@finnancahill2644 I thought we were more sensitive to higher notes because baby screaming frequency, I guess I don’t really know either anymore!

Would love for Schecter to bring back the 006 body shape on more production models. My first guitar ever was a 006 Deluxe in Vampyre Satin Red 😌 quite a work horse, I miss that guitar

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

The Stargazer is the 006 shape!

[@mikeomaly]

The c-1 schecters are great looking guitars! Some of the best bang for your buck! Especially the hellraisers and platinum series! Wish they still made the c-1 elites in the old 00s style! Thanks John! Always enjoy your playing!

[@PrOfEsSoRsVgE46]

I miss you playing Mayones guitars. Either way, I always enjoy your demos. I wish nothing but the best for your health.

The Kiesel blood splatter, and other concept name of the same artistic paint, etc. Regardless, this paint is very cool.

Had a C1 apocalypse at a time when i couldnt appreciate the instrument i had and couldnt play all that well. Sold it and always keep my eye out for them at a reasonable price on reverb.....but rhen you dropped the Tao and now i NEED one kf those instead 😂

[@Dustinchugs]

That thing is gorgeous!

[@enthronedoath8370]

Is that a fryette ultra lead I see in the background. 👀. Great playing as usual. Love seeing you play man. 🤘🏻

[@FireGodMike]

did bro jus thump?!

[@jacobharvey47]

I think the guitar looks sick BUT I can’t vibe with the bridge the ringing and how it feels on my palm, the pick ups sound too muddy/compressed for big extremely dense sounding chords that I like to try and I also pick really hard so I think active pick ups just don’t work for me in general lol great demo and solid price point for what you get. I feel like this is a shredders dream to play and looks like it could be a big seller for the younger guitarists community

[@0oChugChug0o]

Hey John 🤘

[@paint4Life80]

Love the riffing here, any thoughts on the Dimarzio Tone Zone pickup?

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Not tried that pickup in years,

[@paint4Life80]

@@JohnBrownemonuments I learned about DADGAD from you, developed your picking style, always had the Tone Zone as a single pickup in the bridge, and always wanted to ask you about it. Thanks for the reply!

[@karolkozak64]

I was a huge fan of the 6 string version of the TZ. In basswood or ash guitars.. like the standard rg ibanez in standard to drop D it was awesome. Anything lower than that, it did fart out quite a bit. Never liked the 7string version (had one in a 1527 prestige and went for a bkp miracle man). The 7th string was a bit too round and bassy and tubby, honestly while the thin strings were screeching. I also liked the air zone in bridge to be honest. Same sound with just lower output. If you're looking for something similar, the bareknuckle warpig alnico sounds almost identical. It has quite the amount of low mids/lows so if your guitar sounds thin or shrill, the TZ or the WP are a great fix.

[@adrianm7960]

That guitar is really beautiful

[@BoyAditya]

Love seeing John Browne active on KZbin again. I hope he post video every 2 weeks and demo new cool gears

[@AlmostGrewMyHair]

[@luisbarrera5740]

its a shame it probably weighs over 8lbs cause it looks really cool.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

strangely, this particular one is super light.

[@deadbyplay638]

1400$ - no stainless frets, no ultra-thin neck, no glow in the dark side dots, tune-o-matic which you have to mute cz harp effect, cheap schecter tuners, made in Indonesia with cracked fretboards. No thanks, schecter.

[@ghost_java35]

No ultra thin is a big plus

[@driftthekaliyuga7502]

@@ghost_java35agreed. They’re too thin and not sturdy. The slightest bit of pressure moves it out of tune because the neck moves.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

Honestly, stop looking at spec sheets and go and play a guitar. Plus It’s $999 on schecters store (or $849 if you’re a paying member of Modern Metal Academy with a 15% discount off the entire Schecter store)

[@deadbyplay638]

@@JohnBrownemonuments look at price with link in YOUR description, bro. Your review is good, but schecter really needs to stop "save" specs whenever possible and fix poor quality control, especially on Korean models and Indonesian ebony fretboards.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

@@deadbyplay638it’s £1150 on the Thomann link in the description but Schecter is always slightly more expensive in Europe.

[@themodernguitarist]

Guitar looks cool but man I can't vibe with that Blackstar tbh. Too polite of an amp.

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

I love it! Go try it in person 100%

[@JohnBrownemonuments]

I had the gain super super low on this one as well to the point of it being ‘dry’ when it isn’t really a dry amp, it’s quite 5150ish when od2 isn’t in tight mode

[@arcadio4]

Dude you're stellar, but honestly those pickups sound like shit, and I'm a ceramic guy

[@AhYesIndeedItsFunTime]

Why does SD make the ugliest pickup covers? The Blackouts being the peak. Otherwise sick guitar and amazing playing as always Browne. Glad to see all these new videos.
