Soccer is too boring. Suggested rules changes: Wider goals, no offsides, quarter point for shot on goal, can kick or throw the ball back in when ball out of bounds, penalty minutes like hockey (2, 5 and 10 minute penalties), and free substitution - meaning can re-enter at any time (again, like hockey).

H...I just took delivery of a SE CE 24 satin charcoal this past Wednesday. I managed to find one that for all intents and purposes, is brand new. I'm absolutely loving the comfort and playability of it. Being up in age (60), arthritis limits which neck contour is comfortable for me. I'm working hard at getting some of my youth playing back, and having fun watching RU-vidrs...you, Charlie Long, Robert Baker, Cam Cooper...SO many others out there helping me have fun coping with aging. Just wanted to send you a big TY shout; and keep on keepin' on🤘

@brianhuynh1985 День назад

I own an original 70’s Grabber and G-3. In the bass world, from my observation, they seem to be one of the most sought after and popular Gibson basses ever.

@wildghoul7485 2 дня назад

Those pickups seem like the equivalent to the DiMarzio cruisers that have been around forever, they are pretty awesome.

@bryanmartin8336 День назад

There was a Grabber that made the rounds in my hometown. People kept selling it to each other for $100 whenever anyone needed money. Everyone who had it was in a punk or hardcore band at some point. I owned it for about 20 years before it finally went home to Chris Rhoades, current bassist for Jesse Dayton. But it's retired because it took such a beating.

@hakankillberg6043 2 дня назад

Thanks for this video. Not interested in any PRS right now. Just still waiting for the SE Vela. How long do we have to wait?

@petermoss208 День назад

you pretty much got it, doesn’t sound like a strat really at all, if you wanna get nerdy about it. it almost sounds more like a lipstick pickup. but like you said, it sounds good. i prefer it to a lipstick pickup and a lot of strat tones. a lot of the “weird” PRS and G&L pickups are actually pretty great sounding, just gotta try em

@AmishParadice 2 дня назад

I'm pretty excited for the Mike Dirnt G3. Always wanted one, and funny enough one of my favorite basses is a limited edition silverburst Epiphone Thunderbird I bought in college, so I'm taking this as a sign that this is meant to be. I just hope its right around the Rex Brown model's price.

@danielserrano343 День назад

In my opinion, what PRS is doing with their SE line is one of the best things that could happen to the guitar world. A super top end brand selling cheaper import options but doing it heavily involved in their manufacturing, quality and finish? Bringing us instruments of an astonishing quality for under a thousand bucks? I got one of the first SE they released (Tremonti) and still enjoy it and appreciate it's quality, but when I play their more recent SE's at the shop I just can't believe how far they are going with them.

@PikaStu666 День назад

The NF3 is stunning, I need one! The Silver Sky is probably the best “Strat” under a grand, until now… I approve of your request for an SE Myles Kennedy model too, and I think it’s about time we get some new Tremonti models as the standard charcoal finish is kinda boring, and the older models (stealth / plain wood etc) rarely come up on the used market in the UK.

@marianoarnaiz День назад

I love poplar bodies. There is something about them. They are heavier than alder, but they do not seem to accentuate any frequency (just like alder or white limba). It is harder than basswood and equally cheap. Hey, if it is good enough for Steve Morse, it is surely good for me!

@NoelHaven 21 час назад

THANK YOU!! As a PRS “fanboy” it’s irked me since the silver sky drama or whatever started that everyone ignored that they had made “strats” in the past, which no one had a problem with then. I have a DC3, the SAS (which is basically the NF3 in swamp ash), and 3 EG4’s and 3 SE EG’s they’re such awesome instruments .. but no silver sky 😂 All these new SE’s are soooo good, I wish I had money again 😅🤘🏻I appreciate you covering this 🤓

@andrewbecker3700 День назад

Alls I can say about the NF3 is you need to try one. Generally not something I'd mess with either. But, I gave the Gunmetal Grey with rosewood fretboard a shot. Had them send it in one of the new cases. Wow. It's not going anywhere. Zero regrets. Tuning stability is excellent, and I've got the the action so low its humorous. How it's not buzzing or fretting out, I'm not sure? Plays like absolute butter.

@dbecker33 День назад

I feel like the Grabber has always been a sought after bass. Though I have one so I might be biased 🤣

@Dekcatta 2 дня назад

I'm just excited to have a G-3 reissue at all, signature model aside. Decibel Sound Implements has made a handful of custom builds based on 'em (I have two) but it'd be nice to have something "official" that doesn't break the bank.

@martindengler9356 День назад

Regarding the Gibson RD's you could have a look at the Hagstrom Fantomen. They have good Specs, they do have the original 25.5 inch scale length and recently released 3 new coulours at a reasonable price. I got the Blue one and its a versatile beast! ✌🏻

@gangpardos3833 День назад

The NF3 has a decent sound. Its giving telecaster over stratocaster, but let it be its own thing instead of a stratocopy. 3 humbuckers has a lot of variety in it

@willthomas3399 День назад

The grabber is my favorite bass ever made, and people want some pretty high prices for originals in rough shape

I prefer the bolt-on design of the SE line to the one on the Cores.

@roofkorean6948 2 дня назад

I want PRS SE to bring back the Kestrel bass or make an updated version. I love mine. They also need more options for their singlecut guitars such as more options with tremolos, maybe even a piezo version (since Epiphone dropped the ball on the previous Alex Lifeson Les Paul).

@supermario2100 2 дня назад

The SE NF3 is definitely not a Strat or Silver Sky sound-wise, but it looks much better than the Core NF3 and you don't see a lot of triple mini-humbucker guitars outside of the Firebird VII, so it's still kinda cool.

@alpeterson 2 дня назад

“Lesser known bass shapes”?? Are you high?? lol That’s literally one of their most legendary basses EVER. The Grabber & Rippers have been played by some of the biggest artists ever for decades.

'78, my bro! Gibson introduced Silverburst in '78, not 1979.

@kiloliters 15 часов назад

as a big fan of all the idiosyncrasies that come single coils, I kinda hate the NF3s, but I don't think that that inherently makes them bad. I like humbuckers for the output and sustain, but I often find that they feel too neat for a lot of my playing, while single coils feel a lot rowdier to use, but they sacrifie a lot of that output and sustain. So while I feel like it does sounds like a single coil, it sounds far neater than a regular single coil, at which point I'd rather just play humbuckers to at least push my amp a bit harder.

@PujanDewan-id2ys День назад

When can we buy your signature guitar?

@evenzeroescanbeheroes6875 2 дня назад

I think PRS is doing great for the most part. Im still salty that my Mark Holcomb SE didn't come with locking tuners when I bought it. Granted I did buy it when it was on sale for 20% off but the fact that its been this difficult for me to find locking tuners in the right color for the guitar is really irritating me. Don't get me wrong,I still love my Holcomb SE,thing sounds good in Drop C,B and even A#,but the lack of availability of locking tuners for it especially in the right color kind of hurts it a but in my opinion. I've just about done every single thing someone has recommended for me to remedy this situation but the problem persists,even 7 months after buying it. Come on PRS,stop making it this hard,dammit

@Ottophil День назад

Locking tuners are a non issue. They mean nothing. 11/12 guitars I have don’t have locking tuners. And the one that has them is faster to restring. Thats it

@evenzeroescanbeheroes6875 День назад

@Ottophil if it's a personal preference then I do believe it's an issue. While it maye be a non-issue to some,I think it's more subjective than anything

@dag221 2 часа назад

Poplar isn't nearly as soft as basswood and a lot of very expensive guitars ( Petrucci Music Man) use basswood bodies. You can literally push fingernails into raw basswood lumber and leave a dent. If basswood doesn't get a bad rep when used on guitars I have no idea why poplar would. I love working with poplar even though it's for cabinets and not guitars.

Paul is rushing everything into production because he's starting to realize that switching from WMIC to Cor-Tek isn't going to end well; tried to warn people, no idea why but they didn't listen. Cort will never be a good company, they moved to Indonesia because they weren't allowed to produce in Korea anymore. You know you're an S tier jerk when you get kicked out of KOREA for human rights offenses. Cort/Cor-Tek - JUST SAY NO.

The NF3 doesn't sound like a proper single coil. You can definitely tell it's not. Also, the neck pocket in the NF3 guitars is routed way too large. That quality issue is what made me pass on getting one for now. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

@davidchaletzky День назад

No PRS has sounded strat to me… my sky is getting new pups cuz they just don’t chime. JM explains how they are ‘mellow’ like a vintage Strat… you can hear the diff when he changes guitars live- lifeless in comparison, but a PRS neck is gold for me, best of both worlds.

@randrothify День назад

In my experience Basswood is even softer than Poplar and picks ups dents and dings easily. That’s one reason why I stick away from Basswood guitars no matter how good the reviews. Basswood guitars with poly finishes just don’t look great when they pick up battle scars, they just have unsightly cracks. But YMMV and maybe Basswood with nitro acquires a good patina over time.

@DarylT64 День назад

Poplar is an inexpensive wood that dings easily. Most inexpensive guitars are made of poplar. It looks like it has maple neck and rosewood fret board. Again alot of inexpensive guitars have this too. So my question is how is the NF 3 worth $800. Are the pickups that expensive? They sound okay in my opinion but to me this guitar is not worth $800. I don't see anything special about the pickups. They have to be what is making this guitar so pricey. I can get an inexpensive guitar with a poplar body maple neck with rosewood fret board and regular inexpensive pickups for a whole lot less than $800. Yea in my opinion PRS can keep the NF 3. I will not be purchasing one.
