@@perrystanleyNumber9 I meant Baldwin Electric Harpsichord. There was one in a closed down studio my band was using. Our keyboard player started playing Because on it
I compress until I achieve the sound I'm looking for. I never really know how much until it hits the right spot. I already have an understanding of how the gear will affect the sound, but it's often just dialing until it does what I need it to do. This is in the mixing phase after recording generally.
Money is always a consideration, but you can focus on what you purchase and sell what lies outside of that focus and live that way for years! Some people buy classic cars in later life, or spend money on a vacation home . That can buy a lot of music gear instead! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding stuff. My new favorite channel. God, what a playroom, man! Have you tried the Warm Audio WA19s? I think they're pretty nifty. Cheers from Austin
@@coreyoffman8739 Yes I am friends with Sam and Michael, but I have never met Duo Jet.If you go through the videos on my channel, you'll see I interviewed Michael. I've also talked to Michael and Sam on their Gear There and Everywhere podcast.
@@coreyoffman8739 no pickup in it , and the strap can go around the headstock on pretty much every acoustic; that’s the way it was always done in the 60’s.
I think you'll find the UL 730 was also a 120watt amplifier too... the UL720 had a bass speaker system with a closed cabinet no horns and bass register speakers
@@janinapalmer8368 I agree with you on the ul7120 cabinet, but not on the ul730 being the same amount of watts as the ul7120 Everything I’ve read indicates that the watts between them differed and that numbers referred to the type of amp ( guitar or bass) and the watts. . Jim Elyea’s book Vox Amplfiers the JMI years confirms the ul730 is 30 watts.(Top of page 466))
i've also been tryin to figure out that enigma....i think you're quite right about the 345 and the promo film clues but i don't thiink he used his tennesseann on the other track....it's not quite the same sound.... i personaly got extremeky close using a rickenbacker 425 bridge piick up....nice effort though
Amps seem to be context dependent...some are better than others for certain types of music but this does sound really good here. I thought both your Beatles and Led Zep covers sounded really close.
Hello here I am again taking advantage of your kindness, so I took the pyramid strings and mounted them on my Gretsch tennessee rose made in Japan. I noticed that there is a lot of difference in volume between the wound E A D G strings and the unwound B and E, is this normal? Is it like this on yours too? Thanks for the reply
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Ok, but with normal Nickel wound strings the volume is the same on all strings, I know that the pickup poles can be adjusted, it was to understand if yours also had this problem and you also had to adjust the poles or if the strings are defective
@@Moreno280161 No. I adjusted the poles to get the optimal sound that I wanted. I don't know how closely matched the tennessean Rose pickups match the vintage Sometimes the modern versions of vintage guitars have different outputs and winds. (Like Rickenbacker sometimes )So again , I never had that problem.But it sounds like all the wound are the same volume and the unwound are louder? Then perhaps the pickup is just catching the flat wounds differently than rounds. If it were mine I wouldn't feel anything was necessarily wrong and just adjust the poles to even the string volumes out and get the optimal sound.
Fantastic job! Is there any additional reverb added on anything here? The guitars sound quite 'roomy' or is this just the compressors bringing out the actual room sound the mics are picking up around the amps?
On the guitars I had The Waves Abbey Road chambers stereo "add room to your room"preset. Also the Mic was distanced as you can see in the video because the amp was really cranked loud.
Hey Perry, I’ve got a question in relation to paperback writer. I see that you are using the bass man here for the main riff. I was under the impression that the tone of the main riff was achieved by using a ul730, can you shed any light on this for me ?
Actually it would have been the UL7120 as they didn't have the UL730 on Revolver. At the time of this video I believed Paul used the Bassman so I played it. Now I have a UL730, and I did a video about it and it opens with Paperback Writer on the UL730. (The 30 watt version of the 7120) anyway if you watch that video I discuss what made me believe it was the 7120 and not the Bassman. If you haven't seen it, the video I did is called "Playing the Vox UL70". I discuss paperback writer right away after playing it!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 makes perfect sense, I just watched the ul730 video. The opening riff sounded spot on, as well as the taxman and she said she said cover. They always sound absolutely perfect. Pretty cool to see that you have one of 30 remaining ul730 out there. I Love watching these Beatle gear deep dives. I always enjoy learning more about Vox and you do a great job at explaining and covering all aspects. I’ll be staying tuned for more !
A previous video about the making of The Beatles Rubber Soul album suggests that Paul McCartney came up with the riff for Day Tripper and even recorded it on one of his left handed guitars. I’ll look in my history for the link to the video.
That was absolutely brilliant - many thanks, Perry. Loved your playing, the information you included, and the sounds you got - the guitar, and bass, and drums were fantastic. (Were there no tea towels on your drums for 'PW'?). Out of curiosity, how do you mix your videos?
Thanks! I try to match the sounds to what is on the record. Sometimes Tea towels get the sound, sometimes just the snare with nothing on it. Whatever works . The music and sound are generally mixed in Cubase, and then the audio is imported into Final Cut Pro. Mixing the music is the easy part for me because I have been recording music for many years. The combination of video and music is the more challenging part for me. Sometimes I use audio from the iphone12 for talking which is what I shoot with, but other times I have a mic catching talking audio . All the visual effects are from Final Cut Pro, but in the future I hope to learn other programs from Adobe. Thanks for watching!
@@perrystanleyNumber9 Thanks very much for such a comprehensive answer, Perry. I have been playing, recording (and writing) music for many years, too, and am thinking of starting a RU-vid channel involving those skills - hence my curiosity. Thanks again.
I still assert that Paul played the 4001S on the rhythm track. Babiuk's work says he had the bass at the time. He recorded the greater share of RS on the Rick. Admittedly, I can't prove he did on DT.
A year ago I posted "I would have died to have had that experience you did....", well I did! Spent a few weeks in the UK with almost a week in London. Rented a home across the street from Macca's house. Walked by every day then headed over to Abbey Road in the evenings. I was extremely lucky to be there when I was sent an invitation from Abbey Road Studios for a tour. Along with three other guys, played the final chord on the actual pianos from A Day In The Life......surreal experience. Perhaps one day I'll create a RU-vid channel similar to yours and share my many experiences as well as collection of gear. Nah....I doubt I will ever do that 🙂 It truly was a magical time for this life long Beatles fan. I also went out to Hog Mill Studios.......that is a whole other story!!!
awsome video! huge vox fan,and beatles fan! this made me miss my rickenbacker 4001 bass that i gigged with for about 7 years in my 20s until a family member stole it...its always the ones who are close that you dont see coming,LOL!
