Obviously it’s cool to see all these cool/weird instruments to play with, but I also have to commend Rob and the team for making great documentary style content ABOUT them. Like asking the right questions and actually getting a history of the instrument and all this extra research and HOW the instruments work? Super fascinating and I’m glad this is where the channel has gone. Thanks for all the history lessons!!

[@7171jay]

Bass VI actually, which is sort of between a bass and a baritone guitar. Not the instrument that many players think of as a six string bass which has a much wider string spacing and it tuned B to C. A bass VI (Danelectro or Fender originally) has a much skinnier neck with a more guitar-like string spacing generally around 30" scale length and tuned E-E but an octave below standard guitar tuning. String gauge usually around 24-84 with no plain strings, even the B and high E are wound strings, unlike baritone guitars which have slightly lighter gauges and plain high strings rather than wound ones. Very cool instruments which were originally used to double upright bass lines, music like Duane Eddy and a bit later by Jack Bruce (early Cream stuff) and the Beatles (Helter Skelter and others).

... and on top of all of that, Vic Flick has repeatedly denied having any involvement in the development of the Tone Bender. He even still owns his original Maestro Fuzz-Tone. Gary Hurst appears to have mixed up the session guitarist in his story over the years, because before he died, Big Jim Sullivan told a very similar story about how he exchanged his Fuzz-Tone with Hurst for a primitive wooden fuzz box in the mid-60s.

bro i was looking for comments about him doing this lol it was so uncomfortable

[@guitarcomet5]

After playing guitar/bass/keyboards for 35 years, I’ve learned a lot. When recording, pedals/effects can be awesome! When onstage, pedals should be kept to a minimum. (Noise-y little buggers sometimes) In a small club, you really only need a delay, phase-chorus, wah and reverb. (Assuming you have a decent, 3 channel tube amp that kicks butt!) on a larger stage (enclosed venue) you don’t need reverb. In a large club, the natural reverb of the room is already enough (your pedal will muck up your sound). The integrity of the sound of the guitar is most important! (Unless you’re not into the instrument you’re playing 🤔) The thing is, if you’re playing popular songs, older traditional rock music…the basic set for a band has been rooted in “bass, guitar, keyboards and drums”. If you’re trying to create (recreate) traditional pop recordings, your GUITAR should sound like…a guitar! Infrequently you may need enhancements to do specific sounds (I’ve used a harmony pedal to play a few songs to make it sound proper). Lugging a massive pedalboard around from stage to stage isn’t fun. I used a Boss digital G10 that was nice but rarely used the effects. I prefer individual effects, easier to manipulate onstage. I’ve also found some guitar/pedal/amp collectors don’t play guitar as much because they’re more into “cool sounds” and something to cover their poor (unrehearsed) playing ability. My rooms would be filled with guitars if I could afford it, but I’d still only have a few pedals. BTW, I played in a band with a guy whose rig was a Rockman rack mount preamp (to get the Boston sound) and a Peavey CS400 power amp. He had a 31 band EQ and BBE Sonic Maximizer in his rack…played through a 4x12 cabinet. I was using a Mesa/Boogie Mk3 Simil-Class Tube combo amp , 1-12”, 85w. My amp was always louder and could be heard over his no matter how loud he turned up. Tube Amps Rule! …well, if you’re playing a gig, they do.😊
