- What's up guys, here's a little update video I had fun making, feating rainy Seattle. I also got a 1974 Fender Mustang body to refinish as well as some other stuff. I hope you're all having an awesome weekend! ✌🏻
You very quickly became my favorite youtuber, bar none. These videos are actual art I'm still waiting to see you blow up. It's a crime that you haven't yet. Absolutely keep it up (those cinematics are making me consider moving to Seattle later as well lol)
Agreed!! I feel very calm and inspired watching his videos
200000% agreed
gotta love the northwest
Washington is great same w Oregon but Portland and Seattle have gone down hill
Got to get more broad rather than Nirvana focused
Dude I am ready to watch a documentary or a film done by you….no joke
Your videos are amazing
That acrylic paint actually looks sick on that
I know right!
6:05 I think vintage guitars sound different because the wood has had time to "settle." It ages like wine I guess
As someone who does videography and also tries to learn play instrument, your video is so captivating and done so well. Footage is so well graded and crisp and the music you play is amazing. Keep it up
Hey dude if you plan on learning guitar, I really really recommend buying an epiphone Les Paul Special. It’s cheap, but it sounds great for it’s worth and will be your best friend in your learning journey :)
Seattle is so depressing
the summers are nice tho!
I Love the rain in Seattle
@@s3bast1aannn Seattle is a beautiful place but also can be very sad looking
@@zeromath20 Melancholy and Beauty Combined
@@s3bast1aannn I guess that’s the charm of it😁
The Squier resonates very different because it has an ABR-1 bridge
Hi Aaron, I love seeing what you did with your mustang! I happen to have 4 Celestion G12T-75’s in case you are looking for them still. Best of luck with achieving Kurt’s tone!!
Im interested
I’ve never been so gripped by an intro before. Amazing work dude.
Vintage mustangs are really their own beasts. I adore my ‘66 more than basically everything i’ve ever played before. She’s my #1
Amazing vibes, i love this cinematic atmosphere with fender guitars 😍
Dude Fenders gotta be my favorite brand of all time. Like I could nerd out for hours about all the stuff id put on a custom shop xD
But for now I have to focus on getting my Jagstang repaired and modified hehe ^^'
Those beautiful visuals and scenes of Seattle really set the vibe and all that echo/delay ish vocal effects in the background sounded so cool! I cannot overstate the fact how your videos are actually amazing quality and production wise, i really enjoyed you talking about the butterfly effect too, really does makes me think if what could have happened if you never started making content for us. My favourite part was that film recording, i really prefer film over digital so that was very cool, you should start using film more in your videos it looks awesome although a bit expensive. That mustang looks awesome in the competition yellow finish, The neck hotrail surprisingly sounds pretty much the same as a bridge one, i think it's just a matter of the pickup being closer to the bridge. I also watched your unlisted video of the comparison between your mustangs, even though the red compstang sounds very mids scooped it actually sounded amazing. That old mustang body really resonates different to the squier, it could be due to age of the body too but i don't want to make more assumptions because alot of people dont believe in that stuff. Hopefully you get your 80s celestions, i found it funny how that seller mentioned "his speakers got stolen", I never really knew that so much of nevermind had been recorded with the mustang, I thought Kurt had a black fender strat with him with a angled bridge pickup which probably was a 59. He used that strat live and also there's picture of that strat in the nevermind sessions with its neck broken on the mixing board. But teen spirit sounded exactly the same with the mustang so now I'm even more confused, great. Also one more thing i would like to address is that you make one of the most highest quality videos in TH-cam, they are phenomenal i really love them, you're probably in my favourite list of TH-camrs right now, keep making great content man!
Wow that randall has one unique tone at the start! Interesting that Smells like Teen Spirit is a mustang! Always thought he recored it with a strat! Your answering questions I have had for years lol
Kurt recorded it on a Jaguar, but in the video on a Mustang the tone is just similar
@@ihatemyself-zf8tlthe intro is the mustang bridge, the distortion is the jag tho u can’t do both on either single coils or humbuckers
🤩 I love looking at Rain in Seattle it’s such a vibe
This was so good! Love seeing more storytelling in this space.
You're as obsessed with finding Kurt Cobain's tone as I am finding Greg Brown from Cake's tone.
My buddy built a motorcycle resembling a Dyna due to the frame. He built it with S&S engine and parts. He painted the tins himself with wal-mart rattle can paint and that bike looks awesome and runs great. The whole deal cost him about 8 grand.
seattle looks so inspiring, love your videos
You need to create a series. You're a cinematic genius
Very awesome. You should upload the first part of this video on its own. I think it'd appeal to tons of people who don't even know about guitar or Nirvana, and I think people would be more inclined to share it like that vs a 10+ minute guitar specific video.
This is the best video about a guitar I've ever watched. I love rob scallon and music is win as much as the next guy, but you are the best guitar TH-camr in my eyes.
That echo voice effect at the beginning reminded me of montage of heck
Dude your guitar tone was impeccable!! You had the plucking pattern down to the T!! And the video and editing quality was nothing short of amazing. I am also from Houston and I plan on visiting Seattle one day as a pilgrimage of sorts, I feel like it’s going to be a really spiritual experience
That's a sexy competition mustang right there.
The cinematic experience of your videos is as good as the content itself ! Amazing work
The intro was amazing! Agree with some of the other comments, would love to see a doc, a nirvana doc... Off to binge watch the rest of your videos...
If I hadn't started playing Starcraft in middle school back in 99 I would have had a successful life.
Great Videos! it is so awesome how you create the Nirvana tone. I am jealous of that Quad Reverb it was also used by Albert Collins and Freddie King with a killer sound. I also have experimented with my Vibrolux for different sound signatures but it is already so loud when I push it I can't can believe I could use the Quad even with a master knob. Thanks
nice attention to detail, so old speakers is the trick to that warm sound, also keep the mustang that way! 🎸🤘
This is visual poetry at its finest. I am so fkn glad I found your channel.
the footage at the beginning of the video is exactly the vibe that heart shaped box gives off
Thank you for sharing Aaron. Fender must have watching in the shadows. They reissued the competition yellow
dude the way you film things is just outstanding love how you tell a story
That intro was insane.
Yellow is your fav color, Yellow it is! great video dude.
I think Seattle and the Pacific Northwest is incredibly beautiful. I love cold, rainy, foggy days…. Perfect. Imagine living in Austin, TX in 1999. It’s a blistering 112 degrees (I kid you not) when you board a plane for Seattle. Leaving the airport it is barely 70 degrees and def colder as the sun sets… my little slice of heaven. Anyway, to answer the question of why a vintage guitar sounds better than a new one a lot of things come into play. I’ve had vintage gear in my home for 46 years. My father is a musician who had a band signed to RCA in the 70s and I grew up in clubs and around a lot of music. We owned a vintage guitar store from 97-03 as well. There are some obvious reasons vintage guitars sound better and some less so. Well start with the obvious stuff. Since this channel pretty much does Fenders and they are generally my go to choice I’ll talk about them. Electronics- one thing that comes into play is the way things like pickups are made. Prior to 1965 Fender was owned by Leo Fender, who was a strange tinkerer and the company while being one of the major players was run in a mom and pop, everything done by skilled ppl by hand. Pickups were wound by hand thus many got overwound and had actual artist vibes going into their creation. This is why pre-CBS fenders cost more and are highly prized. My 1962 Jaguar sounds better than my 1968 did. The bound and block neck was definitely nicer than the dot 1962. The pickups were hotter and had more sustain as well. My friends 1960 Jazzmaster sounds a bit better than his late 60s one does. It’s pretty negligible but it’s there when you really pay attention. The wiring and tone/volume circuits on Jaguars, Mustangs and Jazzmasters are all pretty oddball as far as the vanilla guitarists are concerned but they are a big part of how a guitar sounds. Vintage wire, pots, caps, resistors and they actual way the various pickups are wired changes the sound a great deal. Cloth wire vs plastic sounds better. Vintage caps in a tone circuit makes a more rich or dark tone than new cheaply made stuff. The other thing I’ve found that really makes a vintage Fender offset guitar sound better is the type of metal used in the tremolo plates and bridges. Solid heavy steel sounds better where as the non fender stamped squire trem plates using lighter weight stuff doesn’t sustain as well. It also sounds thinner-tinnier. Good bridges/trems like vintage Mustang, Mastery or Staytrem not only work better than the weird notched saddles on Jags/JM but they use higher quality metal. It all adds up to more sustain. Think about the amount of chromed steel on a Jag or to a lesser degree a Mustang/JM- it all presses on the wood of the body. One more little thing is that most good vintage guitars had bone nuts on their necks which are more resonant than plastic. Back to the bodies and necks… The biggest factor in my opinion of what makes a vintage guitar sound better is the wood- hands down. Back in the 50s, 60s, 70s the process of drying and curing the wood used in guitar bodies and necks was a slower and more of a craft process. It took longer and made wood that was drier. That’s the key. Also, the wood was more likely to come from old growth forests not tree farms. The grain of the wood was nicer and the trees were old… that at the very least creates a different vibe than farm grown super heated kiln dried wood produced in vast quantities. Just go to Home Depot now. You can’t even buy a straight 2x4. It shows the total disregard for creating good base materials to manufacture wooden items but I digress. Vintage guitars sound better because the wood has aged- meaning it has had years and years for all the water molecules to evaporate out. Each water molecule took up space in the wood of the neck and body of the guitar. As the water evaporates every tiny place a water molecule used to occupy is now a tiny void in the piece of wood. That makes old wood more resonant, more mellow, a bit darker… it’s a similar effect to what a semi hollow body might do but on a microscopic level. It’s really cool. I am in the process of turning a 1962 duo sonic into a mustang because the guy who owned it before me did a terrible routing job to fit humbuckers in and it’s so ugly it’s not going to mess up the value at this point to route a bit more. When I did the initial routing I was amazed at how dry the wood was… it was diff than any new guitar body I’ve ever messed with. Anyway, there are more little thinks we could nitpick but the wood and the electronics plus the mojo of old school crafters just isn’t beatable in today high speed world. Sorry for the lecture but I’ve heard this talked about several times and figured I’d write the above. Hope it’s something someone can use.
Really enjoyed this video.
I cannot believe that you do not have more subscribers, the way your storytelling blends perfectly into the music is absolutely beautiful
This is art. What an intro. Keep this up man!!
The cinematic quality is top notch - besides other qualities of course, thank you!
Mate, I love your guitar videos, but this was just on another level. Please keep it up, it looks (and sounds) great!
Wtf is this video. HOLY SHIT. The quality is off the chain and the sequence at the start hit home way too hard. Instant subscribe.
Watching more every shot is so cinematic. Shots that have no right being so dramatic. You are an artiste
That intro was a punch in my face , and god you hit hard
I moved from Texas to Seattle. I moved back. Miss the temp in Seattle, tho
The quoted source in Juliens catalog that mentioned the Mustang was present during Nevermind sessions was the Classic Albums book, so there wasn't any new information and therefore the doubt still remains . The Mosrite Mark V also has single coils and lower output than a typical Mosrite, you should try that, it could be even a better match. Another option would be a strat with the original bridge pickup (maybe the Vandalism didn't receive the 59' yet) , which had a ceramic bar under. The TOM strat (before it had a TOM) and the K Sticker have unknown humbuckers, my guess is they were Matsomokus as some pics indicate the magnets were a little above the bobbin.
Yeah maybe the same strat that he used on lithium and Endles Nameless, the one with the curved humbucker pickup in the bridge?
This is amazing
Awesome video! I’m currently in the process of building a 69’ competition burgundy Mustang. I recommend Dupli-Color Pacific Green Metallic for the color. It’s almost a perfect match!
What about the stripe? Just wondering cause I'm building my own as well
@@johnny1837 not exactly sure yet. I haven’t gotten that far
@@isaiahgamervw7306 alright thx, I was thinking a Pelham blue or a vintage Pelham blue but idk if it's too bright or not
has such a 'Batman' sound to it...
I clicked on this video, not knowing what to expect at all and I still don't know what's going on halfway through it it but I'm in love with your insane video production.
the butterfly effect? bro, relax. looks like you won the lottery of life from anyone else's perspective.
I am so happy I found your channel! I am a huge Nirvana fan and I am really into what went into making their records as far as gear and tone etc.... the Nevermind sound was so distinct........same with In Utero. Thanks again Aaron! Keep discovering!
I almost thought that was a Beckstang at first. I still would like one of those.
That intro is so amazing, I already watched it 3 times. Well done!
Heart shaped box sounded PERFECT
I have an old 60's Teisco bass and its a clone of like a Hofner Galaxy type bass its a short scale bass made of actual plywood but it resonates so nicely and sounds great unplugged. The pickups are super microphonic and i know i can replace them or fix them but i can't bring myself to change the vibe of it. Even though its plywood just the old wood resonates so well.
Cool video and cool how one little (sometimes a minor) decision in life can lead into major changes in one's path or lead to a sequence of major changes that can affect your life. Butterflies Changes rock for sure.

I think about this every day😊
Love these videos man! Incredible! I have mustang fever too…. I have a 1975 mocha brown, over the winter - I restored a 1975 sunburst , and a 1965 daphne blue (insanely cool)…. Along with a 1964 pre CBS musicmaster (totally awesome)! So I hear you!!! I think I tried to buy that 1974 body you just showed too but you beat me to it!! I want a 1974 (birth year) guitar sooooo bad!!! Lol
Really like the finish. I saw on a video by nirvana guitars some information that the bridge actually has a bridge hot rail and they just put it in whatever box they could find
hey. according to a video by NirvanaGuitars, where a friend of his spoke with i believe Earnie Bailey, the compstang had a bridge hotrail, not a neck hotrail in the bridge pos, despite the box from the auction.
Randomly, I inherited an orange 1969 compstang a week after I watched this video and the colour of yours is a perfect match.
That Mustang sounds amazing!
I think Bailey debunked the neck pup in the bridge slot. Just a random box and the smasher strats probably had some neck pups in the bridge slot…
can you verify this? (I can't find anything online but I'm really interested in this) thanks
I hope this guy is gonna pop off 📈
Acrylic paint holds just fine on wood as long as you sand and apply gesso first. Then paint whatever you want and use a quality finish. I prefer a spray finish over brush.
man I love re watching this video every once in awhile, actual art
ELI. ELIJAH. CANADA. LOVE.
@@mattymatt7877 do I know you from somewhere? lol sorry for the late response I was just looking back at old Aaron Rash videos and saw this and it freaked me out
sorry if this came off rude, I obviously know you from somewhere since i’m already subscribed to you 😅
i have no idea what this channel is about.I started watching and thought its a short film / documentary and was so captivated by the film making. AND THIS.... IT TURNED OUT TO JUST BE A "VLOG"/"update video" WOW JUST WOW. I will surely stick around
cool butterfly effect!
This idea fills me with deep anxiety.
amazing.
Never watched any of your videos before. Never even seen your channel before. I subscribed about 3 seconds into the video. This is an insane video
im no nirvana guy, and im loyal to nashville but your videos have te most distinct and srtistic style. you are no ordinary guitar youtuber and i love it
I have that same exact classic vibe jag. I fucking love that guitar
Hopefully I’ll be getting a burgundy vintera 2 mustang in a couple weeks after a few trade-ins
Genuinely thought this was a Nirvana fan film. The beginning was sick as hell!
What a stunning and beautifully crafted Intro! I was instantly sucked in for the first 1min30 and this is the very first time i stumbled upon your Channel. Did you record and edit all the footage yourself? If yes, what camera did you use? Ill stick around :)
Fricken great channel!!
it doesn't have a neck hotrail, after nevermind they put on a hotrail that came in a neck box because they just had that spare box.
in nevermind they still had a single on it.
btw, i love your videos, i cant stop watching them but i've almost run out.
I’m in Awh of how much effort this video has been given for your channel size. SUBSCRIBED IMMEDIATELY
Man it's very wonderful. One of the best quality video on TH-cam. It's like see a film. Great production! Love💘
Dude everything about your production is 100% you're the man
Edit: after watching dude your videos are worth the wait anyways but just know everything will fall into place for you.
Wow... what an intro, man! Love it ♥️
Just picked up a MIM Mustang about a month ago ,think it's a 2017 , silver with white pearl PG , P90's , love the guitar
Randalllll amp aye nice
🔥🔥regards from Indonesia🔥🔥
that intro was a work of art
keep up the work! i love how this isnt just a video of you nerding out, it holds a story and intention. i admire your creativity.
Seattle is a very beautiful city, especially under drop b
Hey Aaron take your speakers to get refurnished and then you can have some perfect cones
Oh lord. Best channel on youtube
such a great movies
A minute and a half in and I subbed. That's probably the fastest sub I've given out in a while.
Super. Pups are a bit hot for that scale length. So they are gonna have a super dark tone. Could have probably went with something not quite the original but closer and you might find it’s gonna be a bit more versatile for a guitar that isn’t very versatile lol.
This is incredible. Fantastic video
Mustangs are the best guitars Fender has ever made (even if they were meant to be for students).
I think I almost bought those exact 4 g12t-75’s haha thanks to your videos I might add
You should keep the current finish on it. It looks badass
FINALLY POSTED!!❤✌
Hang on a min? Acrylic paint? How ?? Looks awesome 👏🏼
You shouldn’t be so harsh about your playing, sounds good to me 👍🏼🎸🔥
That info gave me chills
We need this dude to make a movie
I absolutely adore your content
Man, how much I love your videos, beautiful guitar, incredible
