Anyone else annoyed by the high pitched sound on the camera effect?
most bass players play in a band so it’s nice to hear how it fits in the mix. I’m considering buying this bass or a used geddy lee jazz as my main bass. I do have to agree that the effects are kindof useless though
Stop switching to that god damn static!!! fucking hell it does nothing for the video, we don’t need effects on a fucking bass review! GOD.
I can tell he probably likes Rush.
lose the effects and THEN talk after you play the goddamn thing man.
Tell me you’re not just plugging that straight into the amp?… that sounds far too good to just be active electronics. Not sure why you’d use your own effects on a demo vid though…
This is one of the worst demos I’ve ever seen. You talked for 5 mins before actually letting us hear what it sounds like. When you did play it you whacked it through your pedals, totally unnessacary for a demo. While it was nice to hear it in the mix of a band I don’t think it was as relevant as actually hearing what the Thunderbird sounds like on its own.
boring vid
kill that cam effect!
You should see the whole video on the Epiphone site if you think this is long. He spends about another five minutes talking about his amp and shit.
the drummer at the end in the band is insane
the sketchy camera effect is a little lame :/ like they’re trying too hard or something. oh well.
Wow play a freaking demo of it already and THEN talk! 4 and a half minutes of talking until finally some playing!
WOW
