Thanks so much! I'll try to, might be doing another couple of these events in the coming year

No idea, never played one. Taylor make very nice guitars, so you Yamaha. YMMV

It's not the loudest guitar in the world, but projects reasonably well IMO.

Yes I found that out later, thanks

For sure. But serious $$ and I'm kinda attached to my Suhrs

Thanks! It's a Mike Lull P5, but with a Bartolini 58CBP pickup

Good choice

Except that the tone was what I was wanting, there's no fret buzz anywhere here, and it was a clip of some improvising. But of course it's easy to talk down on someone from an account with no content.

Nonconstructive feedback is just that. It is difficult to evaluate tone quality without the context of other instruments. A solo instrumentalist has the right to use any tone they feel fit because fitting in a mix is not necessary. Tone becomes an opinion. I didn’t hear the fret buzz this person was speaking of, and I found your bass lines to be appropriate for many types of music. It wasn’t overly complex, maybe some would say “uninteresting,” but if bass players played the most interesting lines, we wouldn’t be providing the foundation most musics call for. Overall, your performance is clean. If I were to give a piece of constructive feedback, I’d say it’s worth working with a metronome for sometime each day to help tighten up some of your rhythms, but keep up the great work. I say we should always be building each other up. The world has enough negativity. I also don’t have any content on my account, but I do have a PhD in music education and a masters in bass performance so I know when a person has talent and potential. You have both Mr. Cliffe, so please keep up the great work.

Thanks! I've played for 30 years or so, but I wouldn't say it's 30 years of continuous progress! Most technical learning happens in the first 2-3 years IMO. After that, some people broaden their scope, others just stay in that place!

@MartinCliffe I want to become proficient in playing bass, I am only 16 years old, do you think I can become proficient within a period of 3 years or less?

@@nibiru_official If you work hard at it, practice regularly, then sure. Finding a good teacher can help, as can getting out and playing with other musicians who are better than you.

I'll check it out!

No, this is the P5 I've had for 4 years. But it's got some grunt!

Thanks so much, you too!

Sounds like a great collection!

In 2010 I think I paid about €750

No, it's a Standard Elite 2758AX-NEB. Still made in (South) Korea though.

Huh? Not last I checked...

Thanks so much. Lovely looking and sounding guitar

no they should be the same

According to “sweet water” the nut width of the natural colour is 1.692 on the other hand, the black one is 1.6875. Their scale length is a bit different too. The natural coloured one’s scale length is 25.5 whereas the black coloured one’s is 25.6 inches

​@@masudmahmud3123 That contradicts what Yamaha themselves say. Nut width is 43mm (1 11/16" - 1.6875") and scale length is 650mm (25 9/16" - 25.5625") for both. They're just bad conversions from metric on Sweetwater.

I've honestly not tried the 1000, but I believe the main difference is in wood used - the 1200 is rosewood back and sides while the 1000 is maple, so should acoustically be a little brighter sounding. Probably no real difference plugged in. As long as you're buying from a legit dealer, buying in Guangzhou should be fine... or pop over the border to HK and get one in Tom Lee Music if you're in doubt. That's where I bought my natural finish one.

I have one APX700ii and I like it a lot. Once I tryed the APX1000 on a store and I didn't like one thing, the neck finish is GLOSSY instead of natural. So it's a different feeling. The 1200 for sure is a better guitar with better woods.

Gracios compadre…. I am now buying a CPX 1000, brown sand burst @@arquivo225

Single coils from 8:30 in, but you clearly didn't watch much of the video.

It is a lovely sound. But hard work to play

Well spotted. But that only affects power-up state, it has no impact on sound.

I think so, but I can’t remember for certain. Been a while since I sold the pedal

Agreed, I dont understand why they didn't go with AA batteries like on the more recent APX guitars. But I find the battery lasts a long time, so it's not really a big issue. Just remember to unplug it when you're not using it.

Thank you! Just trying to even the balance a little

Never played one, but the parlor body shape is different, longer and narrower, and obviously no cutaway. And the magnetic pickup would sound quite different to the piezo in the Yamaha. The Gretsch has a more conventional scale length (24" vs 22¾") too, so probably feels like a more normal guitar neck.

@@MartinCliffe Thanks for getting back to me. Your points are well taken!

Cheers. Not really sure, it's just noodling around Em and Am chords mostly. Stock patch on the Krome EX (A10 Minor Hammer's - not on the stock Krome as while the patches are similar, the Combis are quite different). Guitar is clean, just a subtle delay.

No sorry, sold both my v2 and v3, never had a v4.

Society (and certainly social media) has noticeably deteriorated even in the 2½ years since I posted this video. Truth has been smothered by commerce. Nothing new, but I guess to make anything ubiquitous you have to cater to the lowest common denominator...

@@MartinCliffe good point but also if media is appealing to the lowest common denominator then relevance is tossed by the wayside making relevance in the eyes of the public, irrelevant, and for the public, unavailable anyway. It's like at the corner street of some slums, when there's some biblical religious zealot with a bullhorn shouting out fearmongering biblethumpery the cops common response is, "Well, it's his freedom of speech.". Often the same response with companies too. Well, of course, religion just tells its followers to cowtow to the establishment and if any Christian ever gets serious about following the ideas of the bible that's when cops, companies, the establishment in general, doesn't like it. But if anyone was up there on the cross street with a bullhorn speaking against religion or better yet, speaking against the government, we know the cops and companies would switch their free speech stance and be against it. The media corporations/media moguls are preventing relevance and many people in corporations, politics, whatever, are switching their stance whenever it serves their agenda. Because anything can be argued in favor of or against at any time and if people make the argument that best suits the situation then they get the results that value solely them at the moment, not the results that values freedom and independence.
