Rig Rundown - Justin Timberlake's Mike Scott and Elliot Ives

[@JackTheRevenantTalor]

Ah man all these secrets to his tone, how will I ever get that crisp Justin Timber lake guitar tone now?

[@zackcoffmanguitar]

Koala Kev practice

[@tysonrinker5958]

Haha

[@frankfett3473]

He learned from prince well

[@philhiggins4922]

I’m a drummer but I love these detailed rig rundowns. Really nice people in this vid. Funny humble and I’m sure amazing to work with.

[@Nostaljack]

Shame we got little detail here from Mike. Everything was a secret.

[@plecturaproductions5816]

Awesome interview …I enjoyed learning about the guys guitars and go to luthiers, especially Mike Scott…loved his playing with Prince, and cool he got to play with Steve Vai…rip Prince

[@atomicrock4287]

Please, Please, PLEASE Rig Rundown for the Foo Fighters!!!!!

[@ryan.1357]

"So what kind of strings are you using?" "Can't tell you. It's a secret." "Okay, so how about picks?" "Secret."

[@joshb2167]

I'm a DR dealer, he uses Hi Beam 10s also the super comfy straps they make.

[@zackcoffmanguitar]

Ryan it’s just dumb.

[@dewberry3043]

Love the prince story! Wow!

[@ziphrox]

That's one amazing band! Mike has so much personality and when he began talking about Prince's Amp story, i got a bit touched at the end where he kissed the sky. Elliott is also a funny dude! They're really an amazing band with probably amazing tone!

[@KKMDStyle]

Mike Scott was the man, playing with Prince!

[@EricJamesVideo]

It's annoying when someone says it's their secret tone. I can't tell you what it is... Lame. You're not curing cancer or performing brain surgery. Great job!

[@TheSammyreynolds]

They can do anything they want. I have secrets to my tone as well.

[@justinrulesass]

But no cares about your "secrets"

[@Zuyato26]

Yo don't diss my dad like that dude. Bet if u were a famous rockstar you'd probably have your own secrets too.

[@justingarcia7722]

Eric Antonik he’s just having fun dude, wouldn’t take it so seriously. Honestly it’s prob something the tech did, lots of these session/touring/sideman guys have amps/pedals/guitars that have a lot of modification beneath the hood, sometimes to the extent that they’re aren’t even particularly sure themselves of the specifics.

[@BSIGio]

Chaun Ice your dad is a hot pile of garbage

[@vanzantm]

One of the best run downs yet - John doing a great job as always! Also digging the grey look - makes the rest of us in our 50s not feel so bad -- he still has hair and no middle spread around the waist! Hoping the rumours are true that there might soon be a rig run down of Edge/U2 from their recent Bridgestone show. Enjoyed the show and really looking forward to that interview if proves true! Keep up the great work! One of the few videos I look forward to catching when new ones come out!

[@shonnhaazy5109]

This guys awesome I dated his daughter for three years and spent some time with mike and had a couple joints with him he’s really awesome !!

[@idlevandal69]

That was awesome John.. Great interviews with some cool guys..

[@joshevans3961]

Mike's impression of Prince was spot on

[@gbaren]

Pleasure to interview true pro's..nice one!

[@marginwalker7840]

Did I finish watching this video? can't tell you. "Professional Secret." But I'll give you a hint: I don't know how it ends.

[@Adipsia1]

My view exactly.

[@googo151]

TRUE TRUE TRUE. I SHUT IT DOWN TOO YESTERDAY, AND THIS SHIT POPPED UP AGAIN TODAY.

[@davidcheon2582]

That three toggle thing is most likely a switcheroo thing that Tom Anderson guitarworks uses. James Tyler has a VA boost that he uses, that’s prolly in that EJ Strat. And probably two dummy coils underneath activated by those dip switches.

[@hchoe741]

"my guitar sounds great today. I'm gonna make you some pancakes after this." - Prince

[@JanVoo]

23:55 Elliott is using that amp literally straight out of the box 😆

[@S133S]

When you have an unique style (i.e. Dimebag) no one will ever duplicate it, secret? I call it "insecurity".

[@juanacuna9405]

Nice example. Darrell was wide open about his gear. Still hasn't been properly duplicated by anyone.

[@losrogers13]

@15:34 "The sacrifices we make" Understatement of the year.

[@notebender4]

Always entertaining John...Thanks

[@bebenavole2179]

please demo that Mikagi guitar!!!!

[@andrewjackson829]

PRS knows Brian Moore guitars did the piezo in the bridge first. And their not overbloated in size. Smaller, thinner, curved for comfort, Seymour Duncan’s and better tops. They just sell direct now. USB and synth connection if u want.

[@TrainingJarl2]

Please catch up with mateus asato with Jessie J

[@padureancalin8096]

for such beautiful guitars he has, that guitarist is disrespectful kinda...just saying

[@DBSG1976]

The Eric Johnson Strats really get around and are used by a lot of "established" guitarists...if only they came in Daphne Blue.

[@graxjpg]

Constable 1976 I agree. My wife’s name is Daphne, it was my favorite fender color before I met her. Plus EJ might have the best strat tone ever.

[@billyrouse4813]

Probably the Custom Shop would do it.

[@simross3914]

10,000 Leagues Under My Nutsack sticker in the second rig, nice!

[@bongo269]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!!!

[@modelcitizen1977]

Mike Scott played in Prince's band= He's one of the world's best guitar players.

[@Adipsia1]

Yes, but he has a bad, selfish attitude.

[@marknorris3769]

1:35 is he saying he is running both Era 1 simultaneously with his Suhr pt-100, through is number one electric , his hollow body PRS , he seemed to say the Era 1 is always on , just at different volume level depending , would be cool to have heard a bit of that blended tone , very cool guy

[@Individual_two]

Cool cats and nice guys!

[@metalcavy33]

What kind of shampoo do you use? Secret. What kind of underwear do you use? Top secret.

[@dannydevito5912]

Talented man. Danny DeVito approves

[@BrotherBoresIsBest]

I know that pop acts usually have real musicians backing them, but to see "Timberlake rig rundown". I had to laugh.

[@cockroachdeloach5093]

That dude has NEVER seen rig rundown. Poor John just let him run all over him.

[@marknorris3769]

awesome prince story

[@billyrouse4813]

I wonder if Mike tried the Hughes & Kettner TriAmp?

[@garrettwerner1058]

$20 says the tone secret is that the switches are just on/off buttons.

[@Zuyato26]

Mike Scott is my father. I love you dad, keep rocking on \m/

[@haakman123]

You must be a secret!

[@Zuyato26]

Nick Haakman Shhhh no one is supposed to know.

[@metalcavy33]

Here’s a secret, he’s not your dad.

[@thelonetwangster]

Mr Ives is my kind of guitarist. Lovely chap.

[@joeowl]

Who's that Mikagi guy??? Looks super nice!!!

[@musicjohnkings4u]

i didnt know Justin Timberlake`s music had guitars

[@jessehenson1027]

Joao Reis wow. Then you havnt a clue. Live they rock out. He does have songs woth mostly electronic stuff but mostly its guitar stuff. Even his first.single.ever back in the day LIkE I LoVE YOU the hook is and acoustic guitar

[@jessehenson1027]

Its like saying your didnt know Michael jackson had guitar

[@allgood8329]

Mikagi guitars

[@DARKVADERSRETURN]

Mike played with Prince too a fun fact

[@frmcf]

Anyone else get hungry for meat and potatoes watching this?

[@marchisio_dj]

Does Mike Scott have any social media accounts? I love his playing, but there is barely any videos of him on youtube

[@plecturaproductions5816]

Check out the 2004 Auburn Hills show Musicology Tour he has a lot of camera time

[@marchisio_dj]

@@plecturaproductions5816 thanks so much!!

[@jamesfraley2715]

Not sure John needed to be there for the first interview, but amazing guitars nonetheless.

[@MrMillsfrank]

I have a little problem with guitar player saying prince didn't realize he was playing through another players gear....???? Not sure if that statement is true. i have history with the NPG organization first hand.( sound cloud artist: Chance Payne }

[@Nostaljack]

I can't tell you if I liked this Rig Rundown or not. It's a secret.

[@MisterTee]

I was recently walking the mean streets of Bend, Oregon when a bearded young man wearing tight fitting trousers approached me and said “Hey brah.....have you heard JT has two great players? It’s fantastic.” I looked at him, smiled and said “Little man, I have no idea what that means but thank you for your passion.” And went about my day.

[@elpuntoacustico3718]

Why you accepted be here ? It´s a secret

[@billyrouse4813]

Elliott Ives Signature Strat, perhaps?

[@vintagelife6879]

john always do a great job but this guy has no idea about talking about his gear or camera place

[@BoyAditya]

Justin Timberlake always got good band members. Last time, Greg Howe's on the band.

[@kimberlylamb105]

Justin Timberlakes guitar Guy performs with the Pop Star Justin Timberlake on his 2007 world tour

[@dpedrosoliano]

"its a gibson with floyd on it , you dont see tht everyday" duude. neal schon journey was the 1st guy to do tht when eddie van halen intro him a pair of floyds (when i met him back stage when he played in Malaysia 2018). in all honesty i love neal with Gibson more ,fuller tone . his prs is ok. my opinion. Mr.Scott is awesome too

[@monzo9999]

I thought I saw "Fallon" pickups😂

[@ITheFight]

Johnny beans the man!

[@KowankoMusic]

Mike, if you had one word to describe all of your gear, what would it be...?

[@aaronbrooks3913]

It’s a secret.

[@Adipsia1]

I love Rig Rundown but Mike Scott is a nightmare to interview. Almost a waste of time... so protective for no good reason.If he doesn't have time to do the interview, he shouldn't do it. It gets better as it gets further in... but still negative. Where would he be without Prince ?

[@NursingCar]

Do Muse!!!

[@fcmonk]

But is it amazing?

[@jessehenson1027]

Yeah so freaking annoying him wanting to keep those secrets. Hes already got pretty much the top job you can get, i mean JT is huge. So its cool bro tell us the cool stuff youre working with.

[@AlJohnsGuitar]

I'd hang out with that dude. Lol .

[@reecef86]

Hahahaha give Bohlinger like 30 mins in any guitar store and he'll uncover all your secret tones!!!

[@chriscollesano8463]

Got as far as the 3:33 mark.

[@air9music]

With those many secrets you'd think these guitars are doing Justin Timberlake's vocals too.

[@Alex-sc8fx]

Hahaha the secrets are... Forgetting.

[@Utube-s8m]

Friedman BE OD.

[@davidjameschamberlain]

oh wow, I'm early

[@aimDiego]

Clapton had a signature tone, and that wasn't a secret, why in the world would this guy keep his so secret?? I'll never get that attitude, anyway, nice RR, and leaving aside the fact that he's making the most useless RR in the world, great guitarist.

[@stefanotappari5977]

Diego García Gonzalez this guy has NO signature tone, he is a session player... means the production tells him which sound to use... and I am not sying like it’s a bad thing, to play whatever somebody else is telling you to play it’s kinda hard job

[@aimDiego]

@@stefanotappari5977 for the money, there's very few things I wouldn't play.

[@aaronbrooks3913]

Most signature tones came from cranked Fender and Marshall amps with little to no effects. I would assume he’s calling them secrets as a joke because he probably doesn’t know the specifics of these mods. I have a Princeton that has been modded and I have no idea about one of the mods that was done but it sounds good so I never asked lol. I’m assuming it’s probably this way for Mike as well.

[@shaunm1983]

This makes me sad

[@billtaylor4897]

Happy Campers...

[@MrTomUS7]

He seems like a cool guy - but from Prince and other artists to... Disney's Justin!?! I understand that there's a lot of money to grab but still... And not one single person in the whole audience cares about what guitars, pickups or "secret tones" are being played on stage... XD

[@lucamoqi]

Toby K You'll be surprised by how good of a show Justin and his fellas put on.

[@fretwireonfire]

some people are just "too cool" to appreciate anything new or popular. Funny that back in the day, Prince was mocked by all of the metalheads, etc because it was "pop" music.

[@EuanH91]

Yet Steve Vai asked him to sit in with G3. I think he's doing alright.

[@allstopblue5717]

You realize Greg Howe played with nsync back in the day? Most of these huge pop acts have amazing musicians on tour for them.

[@namebrandmason]

Justin Timberlake can afford who he wants.

[@juandelospalotes6531]

Secrets ! Booooo

[@fernandoperdomomusic]

What about Toby Keith?

[@briandarabaca]

Secret tone? So what! I don't know about you. I stop watching right away! Worst guy to learn about guitar.

[@justinlee9756]

Gotta be first!

[@Ausf.D.A.K.]

WTF, Justin Timberlake has a guitar player? This is embarrassing.

[@lboog0907]

He had guitar players for years and they what keep the songs interesting name any of his songs you didn’t hear any guitar parts I’ll wait 🦦

[@googo151]

TOTAL BS, KEEPING ALL THE TIPS. JUST SHOWING OFF AT THIS POINT.

[@switchmuso]

As far as I'm concerned, a muso with secret wiring etc. Is not a pro player.. That's amateur shit.

[@nikolastanic2999]

What's with this guy? Everything is a secret. It's not like you are guitar god like Hendrix, Page, Frusciante, Clapton, Slash etc. People care about their tone not yours.

[@OtherTheDave]

And even there, I care far more about how they played than any “secrets” of their tone.

[@IPushHard]

Why in the holy hell would you make this video???? I just lost all respect for Premier Guitar. Credibility? Out the fucking window.

[@namebrandmason]

Why do a gear interview if you don't want to talk about gear?
