This is how a Rig Rundown should ALWAYS be. Kudos to Jim and Tom for talking about the background and reasoning to all their gear, the AxeFXs, the engineering aspect, the RJM, etc. all by themselves, and knew exactly what they wanted to say.
I will say I saw them on this tour and it the greatest sounding highest fidelity concert I have ever seen. To the point it was kind of eerie. It's hard to explain. It's almost too perfect.
Connor Lord yea it doesn’t seem right. It’s like they are lip syncing it kind of ruins it if you ask me! Half of what drew me to Jew was the crazy feedback and awesome sounds they would get out of RIGS. JIM you are not a DJ you are a indie rock legend
Jim is very genuine and humble. i saw him in Phoenix playing guitar for Daniel Johnston in 2017. It was a smallish club and after he was done he just walked around and hung out with everyone. I had a conversation with him and told him how much I appreciated him and he was so nice and mellow.
both times I saw them they played 25ish songs which is so much more than most bands do these days. Appreciated them really giving the fans their money’s worth
I scored a JA90 in a guitar trade, didn't know who he was so I got to you tubing. Couldnt be more proud to own his signature guitar he's such a solid dude, and the guitar really speaks for itself I collect and only play at home but it absolutely gets its fair share of me time.
This is how rumors like “Avril Lavigne is a vampire” get started. However, you are correct. He looks the same as when I first saw The Middle music video on MTV. I’ll have what he’s having.
I have a JA90 natural finish. Fantastic guitar. Easy to play, great tone range, and nice and light. I have Ernie Ball Power Slinky's, so not as heavy as 13's, but gives a good smooth twang on the lower strings, and little bit of response on the higher strings. I don't buy super expensive guitars, but for a mid-range factory guitar, you can't get much better.
You can tell he is an amp guy because he really was reluctant to say he is using Axfx lol And I understand where he is coming from. But real tube amps you can't beat
I get it. I am a valve disciple, love my AC30. But on the road, we have fully switched to Line 6 processors. We have dummy AC30 cabs, and always ALWAYS when asked admit that we run direct. We've been IEM for 7 years, and slowly found that consistency venue to venue was more important than feeling the air move when you throttle a power chord. We still get folks in the audience complimenting us on the guitar tones... so it must not be too bad! I can tell that there isn't quite the top end sparkle... but I guess pushed through the mains, after FoH EQ... it's hard to tell.
these days high end analog ss amps sound so very close. the modeling software like amplitube get close but not as close as analog ss. now con being weight the pro for people like me that tube amp have high cost to watt ratio compare to ss amps and require maintenance and less reliable. In fact some high gain tube amps design clip like solid state amps by driving power tube into clipping. the power tube clip just as hard as diodes.home.polstra.com/amps/wreck1/scope/
Awesome hearing the guys talk in depth about their introduction and approach to the AxeFX...most RigRundowns with that piece of gear start and end with "Oh ya, and we're using AxeFX...so...it's neat."
His signature guitar is the only signature guitar I’d consider buying. It’s a good price and the specs are equal to other guitars of the same price. Very rare to find that in signature models nowadays
Another great one! As much as the gear-nerd in me would love to see pedalboards and amps, it's really amazing to see them toggle through sounds so quickly and nail the sound of the original recordings.
I have owned a Jim Adkins tele natural finish for around four years, and for the money its one of the best guitars I have in my collection it sits alongside my Gibson, Fender and Prs custom 24 guitars comfortable its a superb guitar....!
I don't see anything wrong with using axefx for the simplicity, considering these guys are still playing gigs with a variety of tones under their belts now...it works for them
I remember these guys, the first song I ever heard from them was _The Middle_ while playing _Guitar Hero: World Tour_ and _Rock Band 2_, it's such an awesome song and it's my favourite by them to be honest
I actually enjoyed this episode ! I've never seen Jimmy Eat World but i listen to their early stuff , my old band after I left it in the mid 90's I believe opened up for them.
Jim, was awesome to meet you in 03 at BDO Perth and hoped you enjoyed the boiler room we gave you directions to. Haven't seen them live since 2010 but I've seen them 3x and they're the best sounding, vocally, band I've ever watched. Digital is the future. Don't apologise, Jim.
Great rundown. But for the love of God...use the noise gates in the Axe Fx II! You have 2 of them to utilize and they make things silent as a mouse with no tone of sustain loss.
Jim trying to rip the band-aid off that he's gone to digital rack gear is so punk rock. he feels so much shame for downsizing the gear for production, even tho not a soul is gonna fault him for it. like what, maybe 1-2 gatekeeping trolls calling him the s-word....not even realizing the hypocrisy that they would absolutely pay $40 for a ticket without blinking an eye. it doesn't matter what type the gear is, so long as the performance doesn't suffer. and end all be all, just remember that Far From Finished quote "when my only motivations are other's expectations....what kinda punk would i be if i took shit for being me?"
13:40 When I saw Pierce the Veil in Boston on Saturday, they did the dummy cabs. Hollowed out white mesa boogie 412 cabs, about six of them on either side, and ive never seen these but 2 white mesag 812 cab. They used them for lighting fx.
I totally agree! But you know, the target demographic of "Rig Rundown" would be 99% guitarists. Hell, might as well just say 100%, cos who cares about what the few non-guitarists think and what dumb reasons they might have for watching to begin with! So all these guitarists, in an era where we have gone from hero to zero (as guitarists - we were God's in the 80's, cool in the 90's, an outright embarrassment in the naughties, to the present, where we are tolerated, but still evoke periodic cringes from Johnny Everyman) , in no small way because of techno and synthesizer generated melody makers, not to mention autotune!....are usually kind of touchy about new technology, making anything about what we know and love about electric guitar and RocknRoll, obsolete. *Sorry that sentence was poor, grammatically speaking. It was way too long, it meandered through too many different points, and I'm not changing it now! This is anonymous (well, kinda...) utube, not a Fricken essay for Uni!
The only minus of the JA Telecaster is the Gibson neck scale, I've bought one and I love the sound, but once I got it I've been very disappointed about the scale, I like more the feeling of the lower strings on the Fender scale, especially when using drop tunings. Of course you need to use bigger strings because they're too loose!
Since I'm not rich or fully professional (weekend bar cover band), I'm still on Line 6 HD. I used to have different presets for different songs to mimic closer to what was on the records, but I found that when the main mix was set for one preset, the different presets (even if at the same volume) would sit in the mix different. It's definitely way easier to just have a base tone through the night. Unless you have a professional sound guy, then go for it lol.
No hate for Jimmy Adkins, but I will gladly and excitedly riverdance on my pedal board til I die. I do get what he's saying. But still, I need a tuner, compressor, volume pedal, reverb, OD, digital delay, and a looper (not needed for shows, but still super important when trying to write two parts.
If it sounds good, it sounds good. Nevermind if there's a tube amp behind you OR not. Jim comes across as sort of betraying his inner self for using Fractal. Leave the boutique stuff for the studio.
13 gauge strings eh? That's pretty gnarly...but if you do this at home, you can end up bowing your neck from the tension. So I would recommend slapping them on and bringing it to a shop to get set up- or you can watch youtube videos that break down how to do a proper set up, it's not that tricky, but can be time consuming. What I used to do what use .12's but I would use .48 for low E, .38 for A (or .48 again), swap the G for a D string- it fixed the issue I had with the dreaded slipping G string. Then I used two B strings for the B and high E. So the gauges were like- .48/.38/.28/.28/.18/.18 I use a tweaked midwest emo tuning to DAEAC#C#..gives it a solid 12 string vibe.
I bought a JA-90 without even knowing who Jim Adkins was. I just liked the idea of half LP, half Tele. I love the damn thing! It's pretty cool hearing him talk about it, and I wasn't even aware that JEW did the song "The Middle" that I'd heard on the radio and liked quite a lot. Here's my review in case you want to see a not-even-close-to-rockstar demoing a lot of different tones: th-cam.com/video/r0_yOPU1dCY/w-d-xo.html
I know you guys probably don't give a rat's ass about what I have to say, but Blink-182 are on tour now, and I think it'd be cool if you guys could do a Rig Rundown for Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba
As much as I love blink, Matt's live guitar sound is pretty bad compared to other bands in their genre and even blink's past live sound. I think they strictly use amp modeling now, which is fine with me, but it's like they just went with whatever tone they dialed in first for Matt. Not a fan. However, I'd LOVE to see Mark's gear rundown.
I can't imagine playing without any cabinet to react with my guitar. That is so important to me, the amp is an instrument in its self. Theres nothing worse than seeing a great band but the sound is terrible because they think a rock band needs the subs blasting. Best show I've seen (sound wise) was Don Caballero in a small room with no PA at all (wouldn't be possible with a singer). I mean acoustic drums are really loud without being mic'd.
This video’s comments seem to be about one of 3 things: 1. Jim’s Sig 2. The real amp crowd and modeling amp crowd going to war 3. Just regular comments thinking the gear is cool. Where I stand in all 3: 1. Cool guitar. Definitely kind of an unorthodox idea, combing a Tele and Les Paul, and then putting P90s in it. Also, Jim is hard core using 13s. 2. These comments make me mad. Personally. I lean more towards the real amps than the modeling stuff, but to each their own. 3. Another awesome rig rundown. Also, Perry needs to shut up and lets these gentlemen talk about their toys Jesus Christ.
Every time...AXE...AXE....AXE EFX...The problem with AXE is that you can drown in opportunity. I could spend 3 years on swapping out transformers, changing plate voltage and speakers, and moving microphones 2.3 degrees off axis that I could never afford in real life, looking for that 'tone'. I suggest all unsigned players find their tone the old fashioned way. Use the AXE for duplicating the albums tones on tour. Either way, you'll never be happy, once you crank the first 8 seconds of Van Halen's UNCHAINED on vinyl.
If you are changing plate voltage and swapping transformers, maybe you're on the wrong amp model. I grew up the "old fashioned" way. Peavey, Ampeg, Marshall...valves going bad, grounding issues, oops, banged it around in the trunk and now it sounds different...I'll keep my Fractal, thanks.
From a "Fan of Rig Rundown" standpoint, maybe. But it's pretty interesting to see how far we've come from having giant old Marshalls that were just a couple fuses away from being IEDs and how you had to pray to Hendrix that everything would work at least until the end of this set
+Zac Miller yeah, I agree that they're practical and they sound good. Can see why they're used as much as they are, but you've hit the nail on the head; it removes some of the romance from a rig rundown.
This is how a Rig Rundown should ALWAYS be. Kudos to Jim and Tom for talking about the background and reasoning to all their gear, the AxeFXs, the engineering aspect, the RJM, etc. all by themselves, and knew exactly what they wanted to say.
His reasons for going Fractal are the most honorable and respectful I've ever heard. These dudes are cool AF.
I will say I saw them on this tour and it the greatest sounding highest fidelity concert I have ever seen. To the point it was kind of eerie. It's hard to explain. It's almost too perfect.
Same
Connor Lord yea it doesn’t seem right. It’s like they are lip syncing it kind of ruins it if you ask me! Half of what drew me to Jew was the crazy feedback and awesome sounds they would get out of RIGS. JIM you are not a DJ you are a indie rock legend
AGREED.
I agree I recently saw a band I love and they sounded too perfect like you were listening to the album…kinda ruined it for me
These guys seem so genuine and humble. I love how much effort they put into making their shows the best they possibly can be. Very cool to see
Jim is very genuine and humble. i saw him in Phoenix playing guitar for Daniel Johnston in 2017. It was a smallish club and after he was done he just walked around and hung out with everyone. I had a conversation with him and told him how much I appreciated him and he was so nice and mellow.
both times I saw them they played 25ish songs which is so much more than most bands do these days. Appreciated them really giving the fans their money’s worth

Jim is aging extremely well.
It's cause he eats the world. Pretty nutritious.
Literally like a fine wine. I've been saying it since 2016
Thats cause he’s been looking 40 for the past 20 years
Tom too
This is how rumors like “Avril Lavigne is a vampire” get started. However, you are correct. He looks the same as when I first saw The Middle music video on MTV. I’ll have what he’s having.
It's actually very interesting to hear a band that have toured with amps for decades talk about the switch to digital.
I love how concerned they are for the fans at the concerts and wanting to hear the parts correctly!
I have a JA90 natural finish. Fantastic guitar. Easy to play, great tone range, and nice and light. I have Ernie Ball Power Slinky's, so not as heavy as 13's, but gives a good smooth twang on the lower strings, and little bit of response on the higher strings. I don't buy super expensive guitars, but for a mid-range factory guitar, you can't get much better.
Ouch! Left hanging for that handshake... 27:04
I thought the same thing but I think it's because he wasn't expecting a handshake so he didn't look as Tom's interview was just beginning.
JEW has been one of my favs for so many years
Hagood Martin not Hitler’s though
@@paulvandergriff1746 nope definitely didn't like JEW. Hah Hah nazi jokes.
13 gauge strings....mind blown! Never knew....
You can tell he is an amp guy because he really was reluctant to say he is using Axfx lol And I understand where he is coming from. But real tube amps you can't beat
I noticed that too!
You can tell that he is kinda embarrased by not using amps as well

Of course you remember them, they haven't gone anywhere
Best reason and explanation for going fractal ever. Also his pre fractal info was informative too
I saw them on this tour. They sounded amazing!

1thess523 dude that's awesome. what was your band called.
My kind of Rig Rundown, I'm all digital in my studio so geeky digital stuff I love. Open palette is the correct term, I've gotten lost and love it.
This is upload couldn't be better timed. Thank you!

There's one with Robin Finck but it's very slow. Really like more Perry's pace of gear chat here! Brilliant! 👍👍
Good on them for using the tech available instead of following the usual hearing-loss inducing method.
Holy shit, Failure is one of the best bands of all time. I didn't know Ken Andrews produced one of Jimmy Eat World's records.
Jim is like a well preserved dinosaur from my youth

This was my band in middle school...also The lighting fits the emo atheistic.
I think you meant.... * aesthetic * lol
maton guitars are great. most know for the acoustics but the electrics are awesome

Could you guys do a Rig Rundown with Jake E Lee?
20: 44 that guitar sounds really good
I wonder if that 93 special came with p100s. I know my 97 special that looks just like it did.
Intro song?? sounds like an amazing Jimmy eat tune
I want to know what kind of shoes Jim has! They didn’t cover that.
Would have been nice if Jim had allowed Tom to say something about the Axe . . .
3:18 wow look at that E-string!
I can't imagine playing without any cabinet to react with my guitar. That is so important to me, the amp is an instrument in its self.

Is the Jim Adkins signature telecaster good for blues and country or not.
