Juan Alderete - Fretless Magic - Dwarfcraft Hax

Juan tells us his thoughts on fretted vs. fretless, and rips it up some more with the Dwarfcraft Hax.

Loved his bass playing with The Scream and Racer X. Those were some serious musicians in those bands. I didn't know he was with The Mars Volta until about a few weeks ago. When he got the distortion and wah going, he sounded a bit like late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. Quite an underrated player he is.

I have never seen a video of Juan that didn't make me want to play and then be friendly to someone.

[@johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242]

I need this pedal in my life.

[@emeraldpotato3050]

I’m in awe

[@javiermami]

Why does this sound remind me of dial up internet LOL good memories

[@despicablelions]

i'd be stoked! aen is king of the fuzz world!

[@superdynamite7800]

The Octave pedal is not tracking properly. That's why you hear the octave flip back and forth on the slow slide down the neck.

[@theonetrueaen]

+Super Dynamite Well, if it were an octave pedal that comment might be applicable. But it is an ring mod, so it isn't supposed to track.

[@redrawkblue]

hahaha, that's love... + +

"They're always a bitch, these fretted instruments."

[@sullyb23511]

😆

[@cursedswordsman]

What does he say at 0:37? "They're always that bad at defretting instruments"?

[@HelloShty]

Id be so vexed if that dude jumped on the drum set and did that to me

[@theonetrueaen]

Well then don't invite me to your studio to jam, I guess.

[@chrishepburn1503]

theonetrueaen why would anyone invite you to play . you might have kinda cool pedals but you playing is a joke and I'm a fan of noise

[@choppytde6030]

Aen, you rock, good luck with everything in the future (noticed you guys were stopping for a while), you ever want to jam please let me know

[@HelloShty]

Too bad hes not the king of the drum beats

[@shoseinen]

woww, some pedals are really meant for bass, a little boring on guitar

[@ZENSIBLE]

Puro pinché ruido
