And placebo probably aswell. Playing an old used instrument just feels different. Most people want them to feel and sound different so they imagine they do. Which is an awesome thing since it will make you feel better and may even inspire you. People just shouldn't feel the need to pay a fortune even though they don't have the money just because someone says it's worth it

Vintage instruments are made from luthiers using 20 jears dried tone woods. Since the 70ties they are made from factory workers using wood from plantings dried in 20 minits in a microwave oven. The are much superior. But yes, the prices are much to high, because the collectors and the small numbers.

@@lorenzociliberto9564 New products are made more efficiently, factories are better, you get warranty, customer service etc. many more years of development and research, more eco-friendly and have 50+ years of neck shapes, pickup types and other tidbits of knowledge to reference. I'm not saying anything you're saying is wrong, I'm just saying an equally valid point can be made for modern instruments. I don't think "20 years dried wood" or "handmade" objectively equates to a better product, it's all subjective. A good luthier could run over any well made instrument and make it play as "well" as a vintage instrument, it's not a time specific thing.

They're rarer but in that case it usually means that something's complex or expensive to manufacture or made out of something that's itself rare. We're talking about spraypainted pieces of wood with primitive electronics in them. It's not even like a vintage car where it drives and feels different. Guitars today are mostly half a century old designs. You can argue that this is a matter of supply and demand, but that demand is based on snake oil hearsay.

The quality on the new ones is superb, but they are too polite even when you dig into them. The older ones bark and snarl and have more character. I have no idea why that is.

What nobody talks about is the old good sounding guitars have survived because people cared for them better and thus survived vs the poor sounding instruments were kind of tossed to the side and didn't survive until the present day. I'm sure there were some bad sounding guitars from that era but they would have been less likely to survive. So do older guitars sound better? Yes because the better sounding guitars survived and yes because older guitars sound like the guitars we are accustomed to hearing on those older classic recordings.

Theoretically your last remark isnt correct. These instruments were still new when they were recorded. They became vintage long after that. So these guitars dont sound like the old recordings anymore because they have aged. This leads to a paradox; if you want the tone of the 50s and 60s you need a new guitar.

frieswijk Yes you are correct as well... in fact, I used to come back at slick salesman with that same response when they tried to hand me the _“it sounds so great, because it’s aged over 30 years old”..._ I would tell them that’s hogwash, bcuz they recorded those classic albums with it when those same Basses/Guitars were NEW-ish! or only a few years old!.. I think the original Point wasn’t necessarily the “sound it had” (style of pups/pup placement) in itself, but a combination of factors,.. i.e. Wood Quality/Species/Origin; Neck-Body Marriage; RESONANCE; Design; and overall FEEL of the instrument,.. were the key “starting points” to what makes any guitar a candidate to Last throughout the Decades..

As someone who has worked in guitar shops for over 15 years, I can tell you with 100% certainty that "no" vintage electronic instruments do not sound "better" than new instruments. They do feel better, like more comfortable. Vintage pickups CAN have a better sound, depending on how they have aged. Most of them are rusted out, and not very clear sounding, but when you find some good ones they do sound a bit more "rich" compared to their modern equivalents. (like Mr. Duncan was talking about) But they are also much lower output compared to modern pickups, and to my ear, I like the tone of lower output pickups. The myth of "the more it vibrates, the better it sounds" is purely marketing. (reps from both Martin and Taylor guitars have told me this) What makes older acoustic instruments sound good is that the wood used on an acoustic guitar from the 50s and 60s is that the wood used is possibly hundreds of years old. Modern acoustic guitars are mostly made from wood that's around 20 years old, or younger. THAT is where the biggest difference is. The thing is, value is made by the buyer. The people who are sitting on the most disposable income these days are the people who grew up idolizing players who used these vintage instruments. They now have the cash to buy them, plus taking into account their rarity they have collector's value. Like a vintage car, rare sports cards etc it's basically all around people spending money on their sentimentality. Anyone who owned one of these borderline priceless instruments will tell you it "sounds like nothing else" because they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on it, so of course they are going to say that. I've sold dozens of these instruments over the years, and honestly, its cool to hold something that old, but in general they don't sound any better than a modern high end Strat, Tele, Les Paul etc. The test though is very flawed though, because you have year old strings on it. Year old strings feel and sound totally different than fresh ones. It's a pretty common thing in the world of bass that aged strings do sound nicer and warmer. Put brand new strings on it, and I'm willing to bet the tonal difference and feel you're noticing will be gone.

Came here looking for the wood age point. Last time I was getting a new nut filed on a bass, the tech (who is also an Arborist) brought up the point about how newer guitars use wood that is way younger than what older classic guitars used. Older when the guitar was actually produced, not just old today from when it was produced.

So, a few thoughts... 1. Putting the bass in front of a sub for extended periods of time will degauss the pickup, possibly changing the sound more than age. 2. Vibration of the wood should be tested separately with one body/neck that hasn't been played as much with the same pickups. 3. How much does the finish actually affect the sound? 4. There should've been a control test with a brand new set of strings because the "sealed" strings could've still lost a bit of top end. I love old guitars, but there are more variables that weren't even discussed in this test that were all summarized as "age."

The speaker thing was retarded. This can easily cause issues in the electronics of the bass. im not sure how much the finish matters on basses but on saxophones its 99.99% marketing bs that the finish will change the sound. While the material itselt of the body, neck, etc, can definitely change the tone, the finish doesnt produce any noticeable sound difference. At least thats the consensus in the sax community. I feel as though similar principles can be applied to most instruments.

@@TheCabbageMan its worse with electric instruments. because of the fact that they dont pickup SOUND, but rather magnetic oscillations of their magnetic field, literally nothing about the body or neck aside from the scale length, and if youre using frets, has any effect on the sound. you could bolt on 50Lbs of steel plating and it wouldnt effect the sound at all, just as you could cut away the entire body to make it look like a steinberg guitar, and it wont effect the way it sounds in any way.

Each vintage instrument has its own specific history. Some are played every day year after year, some are hidden somewhere not being played for years. So age does not tell you anything but age. In 1971 I bought a 69 strat brand new. I still have it and it is played it ever since. After one year of playing you might not find, feel or hear any difference. But after almost 50 years you will hear and feel a significant difference. New instruments make you feel somehow like they fight against you. Old instruments being well played for many years behave more like „I can‘t wait for you to play me“. The entire thing is vibrating, each note is ringing and sustaining, overtones are nice and so on. When I got my SG in 1975 I read the hangtag: „.....as your instrument ages the sound will become sweet and mellow“. I still have this SG as well, and I can confirm that. But good things take their time. Maybe nobody will ever find out what kind of magic stuff is going on here. Meanwhile let‘s enjoy and appreciate what we have, neither brand new or old.

Like, I'm a cheap bastard that reuses old strings all the time. I either cook them or slap the shit out of them when they're tuned low, which helps only for a small amount of time, but it still does.

This "experiment" is clearly flawed. On day 1 the players do not know the bass while on day 366 they have had a lot of experience with it. The player should not have used the bass in between the two tests. If you want to make it a bit scientific, at least there should be two identical bases. One is not played at all, so you do the comparison after a year under the same conditions with the two instruments.

My bet is that the pickup changed it's properties overtime.

I also have a Yamaha BB350 J bass that has just wood stain from 1996 that I would put up against any bass built today. It sounds like soul food smells if that makes any sense.

They used to wind pickups by hand until the mid 70s. The strange truth is because of machine wound pickups with more coils around the magnet than human hands could possibly achieve, newer guitars sound better than their vintage 50s, 60s, 70s counterparts. Its the quality of the pickups that are the main concern for sound. The vintage market is kind of a sham. They also used to make the bridge saddles, tuners and string trees in the 50s and 60s out of an alloy that we would easily call pot metal today. This also affects sound. People notice that the older classic songs sound different and that's because they were using those old guitars and people equate that to the "best" sound. The reality, if you could travel back in time to 1969 and bring your 2020 Fender American Strat with you and you managed to get an opening gig for Cream and Jimi Hendrix, watch your gear. Because upon hearing your 2020 Strat, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix would straight up stab you and leave you for dead and grab your guitar lol. They're onto something with stripping the finish. I did that to an 87 Kramer Nightswan and now it's my favorite guitar just from the sheer sound. It picked up an incredible upper EQ sound.

Also he should have gotten 2 identical basses, and then play both of them on day 1 with new strings, measure the strength of field of the picups and laser scan the dimensions of both. Then put one a way for a year and have the other played for a year. After the year, both should be restrung, have the field strength of the pick-ups measured, and be laser scanned to establish any dimensional differences. Then both should be recorded again and a/b'd in a blind test. That would have been a real scientific test.

I have a Steinberger as old as me. The original EMGs really have a different character compared to a brand new set. They have a preamp and less traditional coils and still the difference is very noticeable. I’m sure there are many others that would agree that pickups alone change drastically with decades of time. Not to mention the wear on body and aging woods. Thought this experiment was very well done. The players footage throughout the year was extraordinary. They are phenomenal bassists and musicians. Though the two recordings did not change by much, any change would prove to be a successful test. And great work for sticking with it for 366 days and continuing for the sake of “guitar” science!

The day 1 recordings were done without a clip-on tuner, while the day 366 recordings had a clip-on tuner on the headstock... kinda disappointed you guys didn't catch that. The additional mass on the headstock likely contributed to the differences perceived. i.e. more low end, sustain, shifting of deadspot frequencies, etc.

Very interesting video. I thought about this topic a lot in the past and I talked to a luthier/Pickup manufacturer about this as well. His conclusion was the same that Seymour Duncan had. Over the years pickup magnets just get a bit weaker and that influences the sound the most. The other significant part is the actual feel of the neck, which is what we as players obviously have the most contact with. Especially maple necks with no gloss finish feel very different after a few years of playing the instrument. I play an Ibanez guitar for 15 years now and the maple neck has changed the color to yellow because of exposure to UV light and it also feels and looks like it has a thin gloss finish now because all the years of sweat and oils from the hand basically sealed the neck.

It's a very great experiment. I also visited the 2020 NAMM show and it was in the Warwick booth. If I had known, I would have said hello. I distribute Sandberg's bass guitar in Korea. Among them, the Masterpiece Aged Option instrument has the same elements as your experiment. I was wondering why they sound so different from higloss finish basses, and your experiment answered a lot, to a certain extent.

Nice video. Though I have to say that guy from Warwick told you some BS. Maybe he didn't hear about the "Listener evaluations of new and Old Italian violins" article which proved that blindfolded profesionnal violonists can't tell the difference between a Stradivarius and a new violin and even tend to prefer newer violins ... However, think he was right about the lacquered part. This could perhaps explain the gain of the low frequencies. For the mids and highs, Seymour Duncan was right. I remember I sent my Pbass to Fender for a pickup problem. When I got it back, they had changed the pickups and the sound was richer in mids and highs.

By the way: Jens Ritter (who isn't quite an idiot when it comes to building great instruments) claims that the whole lacquer thing really depends on the use of the instrument, as a thicker lacquer was acting as some sort of "mechanical compressor" - which might actually have a positive effect for the most common uses of a bass (whereas a virtuoso soloist may prefer the less compressed sound of thin/no lacquer)

There is a slight difference when an instrument has aged through a slight molecular structure change . Slight. They do "mellow." Or in other words, it loses a little top end. Overall, instruments are more consistent today, though a lot of the wood is a lot "greener." There are good and bad years in quality control and that makes a difference as well. But it's simply the "rarity" of an old instrument that gives it value. (If that matters to you.) In other words, a Babe Ruth baseball card for 1935 is going to have more value than one made in 2020. Back in the late 80's (not considered a great time for Fender) they began the "reissue" series and I got a 62 Precison re-issue and for all intents and purposes it's a 62 including the Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, which is no longer available. (Some people insist that a factor in the sound as well). The re-issue is indistiguishable from a 62 in every way. As for this test-- it was very elaborate with an inherent flaw. You needed a fresh set of strings in both instances, otherwise that would be the biggest factor in the tonal difference. So, it was a long way to go for a corrupted result.

this makes me think of an experiment i saw once on another channel, where they tested an electric guitar's sustain and relation to the wood. they would do a sustain test, then chop off part of the body, and incrementally until there practically wasn't any body left. yet the sustain according to the test seemed more dependent on the hardware. it was an interesting notion, but makes you question how important the wood of the body is in overall sustain, or even tone for an electric instrument. anyway, cool video.

As a professional cellist when you practice lots, your instrument rings more, sounds much better, sounds more alive. If the instrument is not regularly played it sounds a bit dead. This is very noticeable with an acoustic instrument. I can play a friend’s instrument and can tell if they had been practicing a lot. I have two electric basses and rotate them as I practice. To me this makes a difference. This was an important issue that the video did not discuss or evaluate. Violinist and cellists are not hung up on brand. A professional instrument is NEVER bought of the shelf. Instruments are lined up and exhaustively played before a decision is made. The most sought after instruments are generally 100 years plus in age. Professional instruments vary a great deal. This this is to do with the wood, tiny differences in how its put together, the finish on the wood, the string, many different elements. Out of ten instruments made by the same person nine will sound great, but one will sound sublime. I would seek to get the sublime one. The only way to know is to PLAY IT!

I'm sorry, this experiment is a non-starter. After a year, the differences seem rather dramatic. "IF" the differences remain linear, in 10 years, this bass is giong to be a muddy mess. We know that doesn't happen. It's a good idea, but one fraught with inconsistencies. I didn't see, was the same cable used for the recording? Interface? Levels? I've got a 44year old Ric I've had for 25 years. Its tone hasn't changed dramatically as this video suggests it would. I've got a 36-year-old Jazz I've had for 19 years. its tone hasn't changed dramatically, either. Old instruments are valuable simply because they are old. If they are A/B'd blind, using only ears, no one can really tell the difference without looking at them being played. My Jazz is a bit more "comfortable" because I've sanded off the neck finish. The Ric has a silkiness to the finish the Jazz never did. It's just different and very subjective.

The main theory I have heard for the difference in sound from older instruments is that over the years the wood slowly dries out which changes the way it vibrates. There is also a difference in the way certain items are manufactured. One example is that Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath started out playing a Fender Precision back in the late 60's. Fast forward to the last couple of years he teamed up with EMG to create a pickup that would let him get the same kind of sound he had from those older basses that he couldn't get from modern Fender basses. The problem with this experiment is that the general theory says that the process takes years if not decades.

I appreciate the effort for this test. But one year was to short to prove something... other than how strings sound different with age...😌 Vibration and in general playing an instrument a lot does help all the parts to settle, to lose tensions. Tensions are counter acting a open, musical sound. Old woods are dried out, and the resins have cristalized. I doubt that there is something happened to the woodcells itself, lets say a change of shape or something....

At the Beginning: I think so, my oldest guitar sounds better today, over 20 years later than when I first got it but I wonder if that’s more so due to a pickup change or with how personal preference & change in music can influence the perception in the moment. For this reason, I would never sell an original designed pickup from guitars with characteristics like Fenders & Gibson’s in general. You may want to use that sound again in the future. I’d only sell them if they’re popular & common music store stock like EMG 81s.) I just feel the wood has matured & changed characteristics with all the vibration working the wood & for the better, A smoothness. It’s so so incredible to hear the opinions of living legends Seymour Duncan. I’m always in awe in acknowledgement of how priceless that moment & experience is. By the end: oh yes, definitely!! 2nd string was buzzing now though, but the change in sound was so obviously clear it didn’t affect the outcome. It reminds me of listening to a maple neck vs a ebony neck on guitar. That poppy snap to the treble a new guitar has stands out. When Marcus said at 13:47 “it’s more alive” is exactly how I feel about my old guitar now compared to when I first got it. New guitars just have that sound, like when you knock or move new wooden furniture. Fantastic video!

Oxidation wasn’t really a concern because the strings are coated. Using two new sets from the same manufacturer could have probably worked but that invited a new set of variables in that I didn’t want to deal with, for example and bad or dead string, or a weak string that could break, etc.

As a guitarist, I'd say the difference in sound comes from the age of the strings. They are less bright during the second playthrough, however I can hear the same tonal difference in reverse, when I install new set of strings. if there is something to the age of the instrument, it has nothing to do with the sound going through the amp. The difference is in the raw sound that in case of electric instrument, most of the time won't be captured, but can be clearly heard while playing.

I'm going to have to echo what some of the other people said. Although I understand the purpose of keeping the strings the same for control. However, in reality, you should have used a new set of the same model/gauge/brand. Also, taking off the gloss finish will definitely change the tone some. The gloss will cause the sound to compress more, hence it being brighter and such. If there is a video and I've missed it, please forgive, however, if not, I definitely think a part two with new strings would be your best bet.

So Bassline pickups are now and have been in it for the 24 years of beating the crap out of it. Then preamp took a crap. Well now it has EMG, and Aguilar preamp in it. Yes two active preamps onboard. The thing sounds amazing. But nothing like new. Quite a bit better than new is how I would put it. But it does feel the same.

I have a cheap Cort P-Bass circa 1985, and it sounds way better than my brand new Yamaha P-Bass. Better value for 150 bucks I paid the guy than 300 I paid at the store. True, I had to replace the rusted out saddles and patch cord jack, but the rusty bridge piece is thicker and better quality than the shiny new one on the Yamaha. Pickup is better too, sounds fuller and richer even through cheap headphones.

My few cents: → Would have been good to also compare to a new set of strings. Just because they are not played and are coated does not mean that they do not age. Especially when they are not stored air tight at low humidity. → I think that Warwick luthier comes from proper acoustic instruments, because there it is true that wood vibration is important, because the sound board transfers the vibration to the air. So you want the wood to vibrate well, and the varnish to be thin and soft. On an electric instrument the sound comes from the movement of the strings itself, so the vibrations of the wood will only result in interference and dampening. So the finish does not matter that much, maybe you will loose a bit treble without varnish due to slightly more dampening, but the wood is so thick that it does not really play any role. → Vibrations *can* change the structure of the wood, mostly by slowly damaging the structure and thus making the wood softer. But still, on an electric instrument with such thick wood this would be more or less unimportant. → Pickups do age, but usually they do not age the way you would want them to do. The most important difference to vintage instruments would probably be that they used weaker pickups, i.e. weaker magnets and less inductive coils, so they will sound less big, but have more headroom. → The electric circuit can and will age. Capacitors degrade over time, which will affect their filter behaviour, and corrosion can increase resistances. Especially if solder points corrode, you might get really bad contacts. This will result in unpredictable behaviour, and surely affect the sound.

Perhaps the actual difference is less than subtle. I do appreciate all the effort you put into this experiment and video! The topic has been around for ages, without anybody daring to bell the cat.
