He said: "There are 100 times as many good musicians that you'll never get a chance to hear than the few you've heard of because Nashville or Hollywood said you should. Being famous is no measure of how good you are and the greatest musicians to ever play probably died without anyone knowing who they were."

@@ktown0173 The logical part of me says "no no an acoustic bass needs a way bigger body" but the rest of me says "AAAAAH YES I NEED IT NOW"

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Josh Starkey All but the very largest-bodied acoustic bass guitars (Guild B-series from back in the day like the B-50, Ernie Ball Earthwood, Tacoma Thunderchief, Boulder Creek, and some boutique and custom builds like the Rigel acoustic bass, Toby Chennell Arco, and Lamont Flatback, a modern copy of an Earthwood) are all but inaudible anyway and have to be amplified to make bass sounds. If you're going smaller than those behemoths, why not go as small and manageable as you can? I have two Thunderchiefs (both all-acoustic, pre-Fender models, fretted with Slinky cobalt flatwounds and fretless with Rotosound TruBass strings for an upright-like tone, I added K & K Purebass pickups to them) to use with a guitar or two, or clawhammer banjo, fiddle and guitar for porch/fire pit jams. They're loud enough, but only just and you have to really dig in and beat on them. I also have a Phil Jones briefcase amp (battery or 120V powered) for when I need said jams to be audible to people outside of the circle of players. I might have Lamont build me a fretless Flatback (modern Earthwood clone), they're bigger and louder and could probably be played in an old-time stringband setting acoustically and be heard more than 10 feet away, but the fact is that 90%+ of acoustic basses require amplification, and I might consider an Acoustisonic bass for certain uses if it sounded natural enough.

[@joshstarkey8883]

@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Yeah my dad has a fretted 5 string Thundercheif. It's real nice, but very big and awkward for me. I've always thought anything less than an upright bass, but more than a comfortable semi-hollow was kind of a bad compromise. You can get the natural tone (amplified) with a small hollow or semi hollow body, but you often don't get the volume to keep up with other instruments until you scale up to upright. Too bad they're not really portable. Maybe someone will start making travel bases with detachable necks.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Josh Starkey There is an upright like that, I don't know who makes it but I've seen ads, looked pretty intriguing. I have my Thunderchiefs specifically because they actually keep up with a couple other instruments and aren't totally ridiculously expensive (I got mine for 900 and 1100), but I do wish I could play unplugged in louder stringband jams like I used to when I had an upright, so I'm thinking about selling my fretless Thunderchief and having a lined fretless Rigel or Lamont made, as they're even louder (though even bigger and more unwieldy) than the Tacoma. I don't play upright for jazz, just old-time, and the cost, upkeep, and space an upright takes up just aren't worth it to me.

What is the chain/processing on the acoustic/electric sounds? Normally with “dual sound” guitars (Godin A6 for example), you would want to plug the piezo to an acoustic amp and the electric humbucker to an electric guitar amp. If this Fender achieves the sounds without the need of two signal chains - it can be a big pro for simple recording, looping and gigging.

[@cracktalestuff1176]

you are the only person i know that makes loops good and interesting to hear, props to you my friend, keep it up

[@chrisjs6123]

I have the tele version. I'm torn, i fall in and out of love with it. It doesn't sound as good as my real acoustics unplugged or plugged in, it's not as good as an electric at being an electric but it is fun and plays beautifully. Great for looping, i also take mine when i play bass in a band. That way in the gigbag it is super light and i can just bring it along, no one really notices the bass player also turning up with a guitar, which they would if you turn up with an electric, an acoustic and an amp. Occasionally a song calls for some texture or an extra guitar instead of a bass and i have so many sounds covered. Works great for that.

I can see this being a valuable tool for the touring musician if it wasn’t overpriced like hell. A lot of people think only from the perspective of someone who only plays inside their own house but if you are a performer, something like this makes a lot of sense. If the music requires you to play both acoustic and electric guitar, it means you are bringing 4 instruments with you - 2 guitars for playing the show and two spares in case you break a string or something goes wrong. This instrument could potentially save you a lot of space which is absolutely VITAL when touring, however it is waaay overpriced at this point.

[@jamesryan5436]

Exactly it's a nice guitar at the wrong price

[@Jin-cp8ff]

Overpriced yet it is worth though

[@XLBiker13]

You write this long, detailed response justifying how incredible this guitar is and that its actually VITAL (all caps!) when touring yet its somehow overpriced? You admit that this one guitar serves the purpose of 2 guitars and means that you don't have to carry 4 guitar with you. And perhaps most importantly no other brand is offering a guitar like this. Where is the more affordable alternative? I think you made a very convincing case for Fender's price point.

[@foggybrainmusic]

@@XLBiker13 I didn't say "this guitar is VITAL" (all caps). I said that "space", as in physical space inside of a van (implied) is vital because it is, unless you are Metallica or John Mayer and can afford to bring another truck full of instruments.

[@foggybrainmusic]

@@XLBiker13 In terms of price point, you might be correct in saying that it technically isn't overpriced if it serves the purpose of 2 instruments. However for me, for that price I would like a better electric tone than what I've heard so far from people reviewing it.

That is very versatile but i will just stick with my electric and my acoustic, great demo though Paul and awesome loop section, that was great.

[@thomaswilliam6566]

Completely agree that I’d rather have both as separate instruments but I do think that it’s more geared towards artists and street performers like me who want to change between the two quickly and travel light so different strokes with the acoustasonic range tbh

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

@@thomaswilliam6566 thats a fair point and that would be great for that, i didn't look at it from that perspective, dont get me wrong it sounds great for what it is and does do a hell of a lot different sounds.

[@interruptor]

@@thomaswilliam6566 that's exactly what I've been saying. There might be a studio application for this (blending electric and acoustic for example) but I've always thought the purpose of it is for live playing. It allows you to play an acoustic and electric set in a small bar (I've seen stages that hardly fit two people standing) and is much more manageable if you have to take public transport.

I'm drooling over the loop you made, and I'm having a TON of fun trying to play things along with it. Is there any chance you'd consider uploading a video of just that loop? The whole thing? I could do this all day!🤣

[@01bamoipchingshakhu51]

The chord playing at the initial part of the video was soooo beautiful...wish I could learn to do such type

[@MichelLamblin]

giving Danish Pete a run for his money I LIKE IT

I’m honestly in love with this thing and can’t wait to get one of my own. I’m gonna get the sunrise version. Montana country blues FTW! :)

[@BrandonHelmey]

@Jordan Conery yes I did!

[@bigrickshaberdashery2759]

always a pleasure to listen to you play, be safe and play on

[@andychain34]

Amazing demo, well done!

[@NoahfromEarth]

You are such an amazing guitarist. it makes me feel so insignificant.

[@dylanduke1075]

8:40-8:55 seems like it has inspiration from Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer live in LA

[@gemmafink5922]

Dylan Duke i adore that song

[@happymadison1978]

Your videos are like Shroedinger's guitar sale. I simultaneously want to play guitar more but also sell my guitars. Im a proud Patreon and I love your videos, your talent and your presenting. Thanks man.

[@felipedecol3285]

Great vídeo man. Hugs from Brazil.

[@iEthanhunt]

I was like he should play that tune he composed and then there it was 04:03, I just love it, it's so soothing. I tried playing that and my fingers are all twisted 😂😂, still learning.

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

I'll wait 20 years for the Squier classic vibe acoustasonic, personally.

[@StandForSomethingGood]

Thank you. Was hoping to understand this before buying. And, I’m getting one.

[@mafamille25]

WHAOOOO ! LOVE the loop you've created !!!! I wish I could play like that !!!!

[@michaeldonnapple9854]

Please release the loop part separately so we can listen to it on repeat!!!

[@fotiusciante]

5:55 is where the fun begins.. quite a piece!

[@michaeltsakis1046]

That was amazing bro your ao gifted!

[@briansayler2482]

I have come back to listen to the loop probably 50 times. I'm not a musician at all, just a listener/fan. The piece you created here is something i like to listen to regularly.
