[@FrancescoFarina]

Pete: *strums guitar* And almost in tune! Rabea: Proper jazz :D Great content as usual on this channel!

[@andertons]

Haha! Thanks for tuning in, it's great to be back jamming together! 🤘

[@Eventual420]

Welcome back Rabea. Missed you.

[@andertons]

We have missed him! 🤘

[@jjbast]

I didn't even notice he was gone. I guess only the fact that there was more free space in the room.

[@Naitsirk1]

I love watching unboxing videos because its like adding context to dreaming about getting some of these guitars. Its like a mild version of how it would actually be to get one

[@andertons]

"One day it will be mine... Oh yes it will be mine"

[@christopher7310]

Morning gents! Great to see the gang coming together again.

[@andertons]

It's great to be back! 🤘

[@thewinenut9800]

Isn’t that “Morning Djents”. ???

[@aaronwilliams7988]

Don’t you mean... Djents????

[@brian770]

Pete and Bea are both epic by themselves, but when they get together it just pure magic... I have so missed that. more please.

[@benlemcke2863]

Unboxing videos are fun just for the mere fact that they remind me of Christmas day when I was a kid. Who doesn't wanna feel like a kid again even for just a few minutes?!

[@br0mn0m]

I will continue to say it, Pete and Rabea are just amazing individually and together . Glad this was the first video back in almost normal video conditions

[@ItalyNerf]

The high pass filter on the pia (16:00) is used to filter out bottom end when you are using a high gain tone and you roll off the volume. It gets rid of the muffled low end you get by doing that.

[@jorgeasesino]

A more simplified way? :(

[@pcau]

So happy to see you guys together! Great vid!

[@BigDaddy-nt6yc]

My all time favorite pair on KZbin. Could have listened to the outro jam for an hour. So great to see you guys together again!! No offense Lee, love you too!!!!! 😎

[@ebbablom]

Glad I'm not the only one getting christmas songs stuck in my head far into the summer months.

[@danielcookeb90]

Great video. Extremes coming together! Now the magic happens!! Big up you guys! Great jamming!

[@romanfinch5609]

On the Pia, if the high pass filter is like a regular treble bleed circuit, you wont hear a difference until the volume knob on the guitar is rolled down. It'll preserve the highs even as the volume is rolled down. Phil McKnight has a great video showing how the treble bleed only makes a difference when the guitar volume is rolled off.

[@davewalsh3885]

Cause watching guitar unboxing videos is like the best Christmas morning ever.

[@matzer8846]

This is sheer fun to watch - and listen! Well done; thank you very much.

[@andertons]

Glad you enjoyed the video... The guys had a lot of fun putting this video together! 🤘

[@davidkay3443]

That George Benson is calling my name.. all the way from your store to Lancashire. So tempted. It looks and sounds amazing. Why do you do this to me lol ?

[@andertons]

It's truly an incredible guitar to play, versatile & light & sounds great! Thanks for tuning in & glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘

[@timbeaton5045]

Moi aussi.

[@glennalansmith6390]

Wow! The world is changing! You guys get back together and go straight for Jazzy Jazzerson! LOL. I think its all that Purell your'e slathering on.Good to see you back in the same room even with the sneeze guard.

[@StevenAMckayAuthor]

Nice to see Rabea back!

[@edwinstovall3334]

KILLER jam at the end, guys!😎 Only thing is, "Jingle Bells" in the outro, Pete!?😄 😎❤️️🎸‼️

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

So glad you guys are back . Hated that different room crap . Great Jam guys .

[@benlogan430]

Back in action!!! Sweet!!! The States are gonna take a bit longer it appears? Together or apart you guys have kept me sane for a 120 days in quarantine. Dang and two more months to go...at least. P.S. heard on a rig rundown of who I can’t remember but they said set the intonation and then double sided tape the bridge back on.

[@double-a4834]

Bits of the outro were reminiscent of Benson on Midnight Special teaming up with Santana for Breezin'. Cool collaboration guys.

[@johnjgibson6807]

Always Good To See You Guys Having Comedy And Fun While Showing Awesome Guitars. 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Keep Bringin It.

[@74cannelle]

You two are such great players !

[@shaymiantewhau3014]

I think we like unboxing videos because we get a taste of that 'I just got a new guitar' feeling

[@guitarz]

nice to see the boys at it again.. good crack cheers

[@MrWumbologist]

6:16 "Oh that's, uh, a good one" *immediately changes topic*

[@kolombijec]

so good to see rabea...more is more

[@andreaswagner6022]

Hey, Be a is back! Love it already.

[@budgetguitaristcom]

Yeah. That was pretty damn funny. Made me smile! Bea and Pete are both killer, killer players.

[@ronj9448]

I've played a few George Benson models. They are even nicer to play than they look. Very responsive tone.

[@benevans7406]

The fro is looking especially glorious in this video haha

[@daltons30]

Unboxing videos, like opening presents at your birthday or christmas!

[@thedevilsplayhouse]

Rabeaaaaaa! Holy cow what a performance on that jazz jam! 😍

[@angylugo5367]

You guys are awesome!

[@anshumansingh3252]

Love these vids!! You guys inspired me to record music, just ordered my scarlett solo!

[@andertons]

Glad these videos inspire you... Enjoy your new Scarlett Solo & hope plenty of music comes from it! 🤘

[@stevesmith3990]

Awesome playing guys.

[@wmxx2000]

Love that blue finish on the Benson

[@Forest_Fifer]

And we're back in the room!

[@jasonbates2687]

i just noticed you guys are in the same room. progress!

[@jamiemacmillan4056]

Steve said he put the high pass filter in as almost an optional treble bleed circuit so you can activate it when you roll off the volume on the guitar to stop it getting muddy

[@philipshapkin6607]

Ill tell u why unboxing videos are so popular. Most of us dont have the money to buy guitars often and open em up but we can vicariously live that out by seeing people open nice guitars we wish we had. Wheather u know it or not thats at least a big part of the reason so many people watch em

[@sidiox7857]

Bea's playing is awesome! Kinda unique I love it!

[@andertons]

It's always a pleasure to have Rabea down... He never fails to bring the top grade guitar skills! 🤘

[@sidiox7857]

@@andertons Agreed!

[@toni20i]

Awesome video as always! Please let Rabea do the Ibanez K720th review when you guys get your hands on one. Cheers

[@andertons]

We can definitely try... Always great to have Rabea down to review some Ibanez guitars! 🤘

[@JazzGuitarNoob]

I got to play a used George Benson Ibanez once, and it was spectacular.

[@andertons]

They are incredible guitars & play great! Thanks for tuning in...🤘

[@sirburntz]

Doesn't the protective foam under the Benson's bridge affect the tone and action? Great video btw.

[@christopherhaffer4646]

I believe the big deal about unboxing goes back to when we were children at Christmas. Gives people a sense of happiness

[@mrsainanda]

You guys should do the katana mk2 and the new fender mustang shootout. Ive been waiting..🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@fernandoaiello4362]

PIA would be a nice pick for fusion jazz, no doubt!

[@Aokitadamitsu]

Unboxing is like Christmas!!

[@andertons]

Then Christmas never ends at Andertons... 😉

[@GusBounas]

I love those questions... "Can you play jazz with a 8 string jackson with EMGs?" as if the guitar plays on your behalf. You can play jazz if you know/practice to play jazz... will you enjoy playing it with a Schecter or whatever... Maybe

[@theonlyredspecial]

Fan video. Thanks guys

[@vinity5202]

Jesus. Those pickups on the vi signature are beautiful. Then again, the entire guitar is.

[@thesharksfin109]

I actually am interested to see a Vai-Benson collab now haha

[@baratastudio1982]

Love it !!!

[@Slug-Anderson]

Good watch chaps, always a pleasure! Loved the vid

[@andertons]

Thanks for tuning in, glad you enjoyed the video! 🤘

[@benrobinson9136]

Notification gang! Dang Bea is looking fly! man you've lost some weight! not me I've got that rona 15 aka 15 lbs since this lockdown started haha!

[@user-po7iv4ni3o]

That hollow body sounds fantastic, feel free to ship it on over for me to review next 😉

[@RichardOfYork1967]

First 2 minutes were great :)

[@johnbowlerwell7301]

No, the point of the high pass filter is to prevent high end roll-off when winding down the volume. So you won't hear a difference at full volume (the cap is shorted by the top of the volume pot)m but as you turn down the higher frequencies won't die as quickly.

[@screew708]

A high-pass filter let's high frequencies pass through, hence it's name. A highpass does not compensate for the loss of high end when turning down the volume, it merely cuts low frequencies.

[@pacificnwse9613]

I’ve wanted one of those GB models years

[@jonasmortensen2143]

More jazz-gear reviews please! ;) :)

[@imbra]

Pete mentioned that the GB10 has already been reviewed. I can't seem to find the review on the channel. Any pointers? Thanks!

[@palm3raan98]

What I read was "Can you jizz on Steve Vai"... What a video that would've made!

[@redphoenixgre]

Nicee videoo... Additionally I believe that it's a good a idea to make a review of the new Gus G guitars..!!

[@otakurocklee]

Did you say Steve Vai and George Benson collaborated? I can't find anything about this online. Please help.

[@kekez9426]

I would love to see an video that includes the ibanez JSM10 (or AS153/200 models)

[@andertons]

If we get enough likes & comments on this video then i'm sure we can convince Rabea & Pete to make a 2nd episode...

[@bubsbarney3340]

if you want to go to extremes with ibanez take a look at Stephen 'Thundercat' Bruner's bass. And please do a review of it.

Do they practice these jams before the video? Or are they able to improvise these things on the spot?

[@rockindavebyron3960]

Great video guys!!! Ibanez is without a doubt THEE only guitar company that has such a vast veriaty of guitars in the industry!!! I use to have a 1978 Ibanez Artist, bought it used in 1979/80 for $350, & it was THEE BEST guitar I ever owned hands down!!! I really do miss that guitar, traded it for an Ibanez Destroyer back in 1985, dumb move!!! I also use to have a 1977/78 Ibanez catalog, that's when Ibanez really took off!!!

[@mukundvermaa]

Guys please do a Pia vs Jem. Pia video that lee did was online. And we need you guys to do one again in your style ❤

[@larrydj549]

Hey how come you couldn't use the plastic before? Long as there are no droplets exchanged

[@greatreset3]

Stupid question! You can play anything, on anything! 🎶🎸

[@josefschachner6588]

Is this Jazz foam under the bridge of the GB? ;-)

Love the silliness hahaha

I don't have enough money to buy shit ,so I watch people who can and they unbox them so I feel like I do it for a second.

Rabea is the only person i know that got in shape during the quarantine

[@Storm762x39]

What amp is Bea playing through?

[@medupimpekelangmapitsa9093]

How can I buy Steve Vai PIA guitar? Who to contact to buy the guitar.

[@garyschafer5615]

How about an acoustic comparison Furch, Taylor, and Gibson please?

[@jcugnoni]

I have the impression that the push pull is a treble bleed circuit. If so it only effects tone when you turn down the volume and is there to keep the highs when rolling off the volume. At least the JS sig is like that.

[@ThePedroDB]

Spot on!

[@bakters]

That outro jam...

[@jessedax7333]

Great guitars for very different reasons. Cheers! 😛

[@andertons]

Glad you enjoyed the video... Two guitars that couldn't be further apart!

[@ooferrell]

Rhe gutiars are nice in all but did yall say a collab album with Vai and Benson? Os that real? 2 of my fave musicians.

[@limpindug]

Nice guitars.

[@Aldo-Music-Channel]

You can play Jazz on any guitar

[@journeyofawesome8473]

As beautiful as the Pia is it would be wasted on me. Like putting a toddler behind the wheel of a semi, I'd smile a lot, but have no idea what to *really* do with it.

[@madgeniusmusic]

I'm not a Jazz guy AT ALL, but I can see myself getting the GB model for Blues, Country, and Rockabilly. In fact at £600 and something, I'm very tempted, just not in the blue.

[@JareddarArt]

A guitar player can play any style on any guitar. Putting a guitar in a box because of A: What it looks like or B: What pickups it has is simply asking for a musician to stick two fingers up and tell the world how wrong they are. Rab and the Mad Dane showing the versatility of the guitar in one jam.

[@79_nuol34]

really like rabeas playing ...

[@Hickeroar]

You can see Bea literally chewing on the notes he plays. Love it. :-D

[@andertons]

The most tasteful playing style! 🤘

[@andertons]

Everybody loves a good old unboxing video! Thanks for tuning in... 🤘

[@modelcitizen1977]

I like the GB, but I can't deal with a floating bridge. No good for bends or severe hammering. I went with the fixed bridge Artcore AM3QM and it's been heavenly.
