I ain’t the fanciest guitarist or musician on the internet, but I hope I can help you a little bit along your way. Come along as we explore theory, the guitar, mandolin, and all other aspects of music.
HARD PASS looks to me like the intonation for that b string is in the toilet and can't be adjusted so the B string will be sharper and sharper the further up the neck you play. Ain't no way to fix that.
Awesome review, great job. These guitars are perfect for starters or any level of guitarists and not very expensive in general. Nice playing by the way!
This seems a pretty affordable solution. I have a hip shot, which is easier to use, but you have to wait until you find a good price. Mine was $150 brand new. You do have to drill a small hole in the bridge back plate for the string, though.
Its great for me because - and I'm meaning well here - you were obviously flying blind there and thats the pace Id be doing it. I've now gotta find where I can buy a Rolling Bender. Cheers & greetings from Hampshire, England.
Thanks for the review! I've been thinking about getting an Eart, but I already have an Epiphone Dot...so maybe I don't need the Eart if it's not really any better. I really do love the Dot btw.
I absolutely hate that amp. Far far too bright and thin sounding. Cold and sterile. Terrible amp. I bought one a year ago and have played it perhaps 10 times. The more I played it the more I hated it. It sound absolutely shit! My wife had to stop me from attacking it with a sledgehammer.
The only problem with this bender is it kills your break angle (the sound of a telecaster). The regular bender is the only one that keeps the break angle thus keeping your guitar sounding like a tele. That’s why bigsbys ruin a tele’s sound.
Thanks for sharing this. I often wondered how these things installed and how they work out. I was a little scared by the fancier benders that screw into body. I did see a guy who made a bender out of a dinner spoon. Which I don't know if it would last, but also didn't need any drilling into the guitar.
I'll be getting one, thanks to you and your informative and entertaining video. Brought a smile to my face several times while I still took everything in. You're a champ, BT!
Nice review! I got mine a year ago. It had a slight rattle especially on certain notes and it drove me nuts. I went through everything and then noticed a very very small side to side movement on one of the bridge screws whnäen poking with a small screwdriver. Put some clear nail polish between the head of the screw and the bridge element and the rattle was gone.
Best review on an Eart Guitar on internet. I have another model and I totally agree with you, but I appreciate the real sounds and the honest opinion. And great playing too man! Thanks from Spain.
I have a Vintage Modified Jazzmaster (and Jaguar) and find, that once set up with some fretwork, they are great guitars. I wasn't a fan of the bridge pickup, way too hot, and bought a Bootstrap Lake Surfer, and it's a great match with the neck pickup. I bit hotter than a regular Jazzmaster pickup, it's sounds great. Thanks for the review.
The middle screw on the bridge will make the tremlo bar more tension turning one way an looser turned the other way, also I wrapped the end of the tremlo bar with Teflon tape
I got the same guitar from sweetwater ,left handed version with the blonde twin reverb tonemaster, I love it,took me a while to get it setup to how I like it,did a few things to it ,lowered strings,polished the frets and dressed the fret ends
Thanks for posting this. I've got one of these on my strat. It's fun and nobody expects it haha. If you do a strat with the usual trem bridge, you need to use 3+ springs and make it really tight down so when you use the bender it doesn't pull the rest of the strings sharp.
Had mine now for a few months. This is an incredibly useful amp in that A) you don’t mind packing it around because it’s so light B) it works on any gig from funerals and basements to full stage acts because of the built in Attenuation and C) it sounds fantastic. Definitely a keeper.
That is so cool. Been obsessed with the b bender since I first discovered, and this seems like a very good compromise, as for most the b benders are not particularly practical. How does it affect tuning?
Bought this when it came out over a yr ago and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played…out punches my Eastman 335 with EASE…and it absolutely RIPS…such a good guitar and I LOVE the aesthetic…wanted a 335 that looked like this for ages…no dumb polyurethane etc…just beautiful mahogany, open pored, letting it ring out like a bell…the neck is INCREDIBLE, and the pickups blew me away…thought I’d change them immediately and there was no need…57 classic replicas and the bridge is nice and hot…ONLY nitpick is the cheap selector switch and wish the binding was more cream looking, other than that I’ve been gigging with this bad boy and everyone who plays is blown away at how good the guitar is….I also bought one of their Tele’s and it too is freaking awesome
I play country music. I love bending strings. This settles it. Im getting a Rolling B Bender for my Michael Kelly '53 Tele. I already use a MXR Phase 90 for that Waylon sound. A B- Bender will rock.
@@TheUsefulMusician not Sponsored , good ! They've got to make two RU-vid's one for product influencers and another for people without agendas. I don't know about everyone else , I'm sick of it.
Wow, this is the 2nd video I've seen on the Blonde TM DR, and it sounds Awesome . I'm really thinking I need one. Loved hearing Dwight Yoakum at the end. You really make it sound so good 👍
