30:42 I struggled with setups from several guys in my area on my Electric axes. I finally had somebody set it up for me the way I like and I asked if I could write down the neck relief and action on each E string. Ever since then I am capable of using feeler gauges and measuring a bridge. After that, anything else goes wrong I send it out. Just a heads up I play Gypsy/Django guitars and they have a a lot of relief and what is considered hight action so I wasn't looking for a low setting.
@karatekid9519 ай бұрын
I know what you mean about what you want. You want more relief so the notes/chors don't get choked out. A gypsy style of guitar requires higher action. It's about each note having a pronounced voice when picked individually. A lot of low setups are good for speed and distorted chords, but for them to ring out, you do want more relief than most like.

But keep the hard case close. Little bees wax polished into back neck. Make it beautiful play feel. My old school rock and blues. I’ve played the Maton messiah which as slash in add. Seen him play some acoustic in interview in Australia no guitar with him, he was given Maton messiah to play. He even stopped looking it over. Said on air wow I really like the tone of this guitar never played brand before. But think I’ll be speaking to someone about getting one for myself. Even with the ebony fretboard. He was really impressed. Not found Taylor only small one to try and Martin. Yet picking tone and feel to fit blues and old school rock. 52 and Australian army veterans pensioner.

Your comment about learning the Bossa Nova on the bass was important. I have read many times about “training to failure”. When making a mistake over and over while trying to learn something, you are in danger of programming your brain to anticipate and then execute the mistake permanently. The “rule”’is to attempt it 3 times, and if you make the mistake all 3 times, move on to something else. Your brain will not imprint the mistake this way. The next day, revisit the section that is giving you trouble, making sure to follow the 3x rule. Eventually (hopefully) you’ll learn the section correctly.

My Iceman has high frets so it requires a certain touch, but it’s not tricky for me But it’s why I learned to do at least a basic setup Others set it up for different frets and it doesn’t work for me, but the way I like it set up, it plays great And then you address fret stuff I have had one level & crown done on the Iceman (due it being used in my absence for slide with a plumber’s wrench-argh!) But they set it properly because they knew it had high frets I can confirm that it will still feel pretty close

Phil, I disagree with the SLASH explanation, he’s getting on in age, touring not as much. Unless he opens for Swift, or plays back up the money may dry up. Marshall is run now by a group of venture capitalists. What ever contract Slash had, was reworked with an out option. Slash said show me the money…Marshall showed him the door. His endorsement is not required in Marshall’s view.

Used gear prices are unrealistic, but what will tell the tale down the road as far as a market price correction is concerned, will be whether those new covid guitarists were selling because they wanted to upgrade or because they lost interest and quit. It's quite a paradox. Never before has there been more, better quality, affordable gear available---in spades, while at the same time existing in an era when less guitar based music is being produced for public consumption.

On cheap guitar videos, the quality in what you're calling cheap is beginning to surpass that of high end guitars... that's a massive draw amongst the curious.

It's crazy for him to leave Marshall but its one of two things. Either he's running a cleaner Magnatone with his Marshalls which is what Fortus does with his Supros and sounds great or Magnatone made a copy of his Marshall and paid him more money. Many pros run two different style amps at the same time. Even I run a Supro and a Marshall at the same time. It sounds awesome. Too bad Supro didn't do the Fortus Marshall style amp. Especially if it was reasonably priced.

There’s only one place Slash should go to amp wise: Friedman. 😉 I play bass. Once had a gig on a festival where my beautiful 300 watt tube USA’s finest bass amp (I will not mention the brand) broke down on me for the last time! It always did! It was like Amp Ache every other gig, people! (Wished I kept my Marshall VB-400!) A guitarist from another band came to the rescue with his Friedman 100 watt guitar head. He just said: ‘Use this; she’ll do...’ And she did. Big time! And this guitarist standing there laughing. He knew just what this amp could do: like an old Marshall Super Bass. Creamy! When I ever win the lottery, I get myself a Friedman! Two, if I can. 50 watts will do. 😉 Slash going to Friedman would be the most sane thing to do. All Marshall fans will get it in an instant. Magnatone is a cool and nice brand. But everybody needs our old Slash on the very best Marshalls there is: Friedman. And, having his pedalboards and signalchain sorted out at the same time? Simple stuff: Friedman. He loves Marshalls so much, he’ll take care of their heritage, and than some. Wish he would love bass just a little bit more too, 🤣. That would kill most if not all the competition. But, I get it, he’s a busy humanoïd... 🖖

Slash signing with Magnatone is a bit of a Moot point. All of Slash’s classic music was made with old Marshall’s unlike todays product. Recently in G’n’R and solo Slash’s music is forgettable at best (and live quite sloppy). Will some people buy a Magnatone because Slash recommends them? Yes, but I doubt he’ll be a game changer like PRS had with John Mayer’s Silver Sky because Slash really isn’t relevant to kids starting to play guitar now. The question is if it really makes a difference to Marshall’s business other than saving money paying Slash to endorse them.
