    About the basswood thing:people think,it's not a good wood for guitars,because it's cheap.The thing is,it's cheap,because the linden tree(which it is made of),grows everywhere,unlike mahagony,swamp ash,koa etc. who are growing in tropical climates.Guthrie Govan was not the first famous guy,who had used basswood guitars.EVH,Joe Satriani,John Petrucci,Tosin Abasi,all play baswood guitars.Also,John Suhr makes some expensive custom shop guitars and even said,it's his favorite wood.Of course,these more expensive guitars use AAAA quality basswood,while the cheapo,import stuff is made of lower quality basswood.

      Very interesting that. I have to admit, there are a lot of people I've heard that have basswood guitars. But most of us are a bit of wood elitists...

    • @greekfreak1980
      @greekfreak1980 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Rogue Jellybean Yeah,the old tonewood argument.The thing is,when you play with a dozen effect pedals and an AXE FX,Kemper whatever or a high gain tube amp,the wood of the guitar only makes a small percentage of the sound.90% of the tone you hear,comes from the amp/pickups,pedals.Check out Aristides Guitars,from Holland,they make guitars out of a material called ''Arium''.It's supposed to be some form of carbon fiber or something.When I first heard about them,I said myself:''a plastic guitar,get outta here.''.Then,I watched Timo Sommers,doing a demo for them and I couldn't hear a difference between this and a guitar made of wood.Problem is,this material is super expensive to produce.When they find a way to make it cheaper,the market will be flooded with these non-wood guitars.

      @TheMalamula 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The speakers you use also make a much bigger difference than the wood of the guitar

      Agreed, I got a Fender FSR MIJ Strat which also has a basswood Body, but it is super light and super resonant...Sounds like a Strat too.

    I might not be the first one to comment on this, but I might as well give my insight about this "killswitch" matter.
    I briefly looked at the Iron Label line, and the only ones with the "killswitch" seems to have active pickups. The passive loaded ones have a coil tap instead of the on/off switch.
    Just throwing this out there:
    Maybe the switch is just designed to kill the signal so that the active pickups don't drain the battery, once the guitar is plugged in?
    That way there's no need to rip off the cable everytime you stop playing or leave your guitar there after soundcheck etc.
    I sincerely don't know if it's wired that way, meaning the switch in position "off" cuts the entire signal starting from the output jack, before it activates the pre-amp of the guitar.
    Just a guess...
    Cheers!
    Love the videos, keep 'em coming!

      If this is the case that would be very handy, nothing worse than realising you've left your guitar plugged in and drained the battery

    • @natfingerboard
      @natfingerboard 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, having it there for "effect" would be pretty dumb to be honest... Gotta have a purpose. Too bad rob and the cap rely too much on their knowledge and do not research properly before making videos. Most of the time they are really like "idk"

    • @quixutica
      @quixutica 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You nailed it actually, now if only Rob reads this hahhh. I have one of them Iron Label RGIR20FE, and the killswitch works it's magic perfectly.

      I can see the appeal in it, vast exploration for exploration sake. It could be, however, that he loves it because his wife gave it to him, and everything from his wife means so much more than it would be otherwise.

    @charliefoxtrotthe3rd335 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The kill switch is easily replaced. Don't let that stupid appointment detract from a great guitar. I added one to my Strat and it came from an old refrigerator button that was used to turn off the light when you closed the door! It was nice and small so it fit perfect and was free. A little solder, 10 minutes of time, done.

  • @nickfit3
    @nickfit3 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    FINALLY you guys find something to bag on something you sell!! Thank you for for not playing down something that you think is a crap idea. The kill switch is no biggie.. just replace it. The EMG pickups now that's a different problem all together! ! It doesn't matter what you put those things in they sound the same in everything. Zip tie them to a 2 x 4 no difference in tone... you never hear the guitar or your fingers with EMG pickups. IMHO

  • @Eventual420
    @Eventual420 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I disconnected the cable TV 29 years ago... I enjoyed the video, I do use EMGs and have since 1988. Single coil EMG in the Alnico and standard varieties in my guitar, and they are unique. From your NAMM video I discovered their new lineup, and shot down trying to pre-order the SVR limited edition. It came in, #1 of 77. It is so expensive I have arranged financing, and it should come home, with any luck next week. My first 7. I promise to do a proper video. Since this computer is new, WIn10 and the Adobe software is new, the DAW software was new, the drums were 2.0 so I had to learn everything all over again, took about 6 months (since I have to work).. Welcome Back Rob, nice riffs. Nice tone Lee. Fun as always, Mr. Editor.

    • @raygun4468
      @raygun4468 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No he is just getting better! He has had Bea, teaching how to not sound like a NOOB.
      Which as I pointed out in the early days of this channel would not be the best approach to selling guitars (making them sound shit that is).
      I have been away for a while and not seen anything they put out ... but I can see a lot of Bea, influence going on here.
      Captain America, has had the practice schedule and the moron to his left has had the nutritional advice.
      Who is doing the morons styling these days !? He lost the ""I sell the-big-issue and have dog on a bit of string" dreads ... and now has some ridiculous amount of longer hair combed over from the left of his head to try and hide his bald spot.
      Is he planing to get into politics !?

  • @darraghtate440
    @darraghtate440 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I disagree with you about the killswitch. I always found using a selector switch a lot easier to use rhythmically than the button ones - it just feels like using all upstrokes or downstrokes (depending on the angle of the switch). Using the button ones is weird, since it sounds when you have your fingers OFF the switch, meaning that rhythmically it's like you're picking by moving your hand off of and away from the instrument, which is totally counter-intuitive.

    • @weregonnahaveaproblemhere1364
      @weregonnahaveaproblemhere1364 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      But you really don't want that clicking sound, especially if the guitar picks it up which it most definitely will. I understand what you mean and I've never thought about it that way but I guess once you're used to the tap button then it's much easier

    • @darraghtate440
      @darraghtate440 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jake Hardy I've used both - the pickup selector on my old SG (which I had to replace about 3 times) and a killpot on my Vigier. I prefer the switch, and I never noticed any sound through the pickups (although the note would probably drain it out, considering the attack is simultaneous)

    • @weregonnahaveaproblemhere1364
      @weregonnahaveaproblemhere1364 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've done it on my Les paul... believe it or not it probably works better on my epiphone other than my Gibson

    • @darraghtate440
      @darraghtate440 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jake Hardy Well, the SG pickup selector looks like it's further from the pickup than a Les Paul, and I mainly used the neck pickup, giving even more distance, so that could have something to do with it

  • @kortufflpaua
    @kortufflpaua 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    the killswitch might turn off the battery power draw aswell so you wouldnt have to unplug the guitar everytime

    • @Bru741iX
      @Bru741iX 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesnt. It only kills the signal in the curcuit.
      You still need to unplug the guitar in order to kill the battery connection, since it's found on the output jack.

    • @kortufflpaua
      @kortufflpaua 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      but it would be a cool idea and a good excuse for the unrythmical swich

    • @Bru741iX
      @Bru741iX 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      frantisek veselovskyJR
      And it would require different pickups.
      EMG's runs the "hot" battery signal directly to the jack output, and there is no way to turn it off without unplugging the jack.
      Even if you add a switch to it, you'll still use power.
      And if you cut off the "hot" signal on EMG's, you still get a small amount of output.
      So there really isnt any other way you can wire a killswitch to EMG's.

    • @kortufflpaua
      @kortufflpaua 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      ok, thats good to know, but what if i would wire it to cut the signal and the battery simultaneously? so basically the switch emulates a jack unplug. or did i miss smthng there?

    • @quixutica
      @quixutica 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pretty sure it cuts the battery draw, I have an RGIR20FE sitting next to me with a 9V bat from about a year ago now. It's still running, after playing daily for a couple hours. Plus, I leave my cable in every time.

    I honestly don't get the criticism, so what if their set up doesn't sound perfect? and whoever says that Rob is a bad, repetitive guitarist than you can't see yourself as a musician because music is simply an art and what rob does whether it's composing or performing, he does it extremely well and I wish I could voice my guitar playing like he does

    yep my jem 1989 vbk is basswood (and all the Jem's before I believe). Lots of Satch models from that era were too. Think Vai was one of the first guys to use it. Not sure if he used it for it's tonal qualities (not that I believe in tone wood.. (but he certainly does) or the fact that it Basswood is cheap as poo and dings if you look at it the wrong way (making the guitar in need of replacing after a year or two)

    Eh. I played Ibanez exclusively for years, but at this point, I'll take my Chapman or PRS SE. No question. Plus, I strongly don't prefer EMG pickups. The absolute only actives I like are Blackouts.

    well the wiring is already there for the switch, just replace the latching with a button, easy little solder job.

    I'd love if they did models with active or passive pickups!

  • @alanredversangel

    Trouble is to have a push button kill switch you ideally want it to come on when you press it, which means you need to kill the signal beforehand, with another switch or something. I would just swap the existing switch with a led Paul type pickup selector.

    • @alanredversangel
      @alanredversangel 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its down to personal preference, do you want to hear a sound when you press the button or when you don't?

    Satriani's Ibanez JS are mostly basswood.

    Mr. Chapman, I'm looking for a Ibanez guitar, could you maybe do a review of some of the lower end Ibanez stuff. Like maybe the rg standard series? I just want a guitar I can use for metal and hard rock. I'd want to avoid a Floyd Rose trem system however

    Tom Morello never had a problem using his regular switch as a killswitch that way...

  • @rogermoore2798
    @rogermoore2798 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    It wouldn't take long, or cost much, to change out the toggle switch for a non latching push button for the kill switch if that was the only thing putting you off.

  • @cikame
    @cikame 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is just my opinion, emg's use the battery when they're active right? So if for whatever reason the strings are vibrating or the emg's just decide to be active for whatever reason, the battery will be used, so the toggle kill switch is basically an on/off switch to prevent that happening when it's not being used, though i don't actually know if it stops the pickups from sucking battery. I own the iron label baritone and "switch off" when i stop playing, but it's also useful when tuning.

    The Epiphone Matt Heafy customs come with a Killpot -- honest I think those are even better than the non-latching kill switches. Easier to engage.
