I’ll be ordering the Pharaoh Gold version as soon as the stores open in the morning. Excellent instrument. Long time Charvel fan. Adding another one to the stable. 🎸
I have a blonde Fifth Avenue. I substituted ebony knobs and pick guard for the stock items. The guitar looks and sounds fabulous. As you say Steve, it takes pedals well and I’ve used it for blues, indie tunes and jazz. Lots of successful gigs under its belt. Definitely worth considering at a very reasonable price point. And the acoustic sound is fine for home playing. Nothing not to like in my opinion.
You have a good ear, my friend, and it's a great question - that is a case of the dreaded "tube rattle,' caused by internal tube components reacting to specific frequencies being played. I'd never even heard of it until I rewatched this video. I consulted a local repair shop (geniuses, I might add. Audio Elements of Atlanta, GA), and they determined the issue for me and advised me on a remedy,, which was to find equivalent tubes in what's called a "big bottle" style (the glass housing is actually larger than the normal audio tube) and then use silicon dampening rings on them to defeat this ugly effect. It worked!
@@stevewhitworth6091 Ah-Hah! ... I should have known that but it's be a while for me with tubes. Really sounded like a cup ratting on a saucer, but that didn't fit the video vibe.
I ordered this today and it should be here tomorrow. I have a Taylor GS mini bass and a Kala Ubass with the black rubber strings fretless and Fishman electronics. I hope they sound good with it. If not I am getting an electric with one bridge humbucker. Ibanez.
Agree. I purchased a Rumble 100 and it Sounds incredible with my Sterling Stingray SS-4. They punch-above their weight class. No more Hernia or Broken-Back to gig. oNe LovE from NYC
Thanks, Doug! Yeah, that Charvy is a 1990 model and the PU's are a little soft spoken, but this gadget brings 'em to life. Enjoying the hell outta your new record, btw
