I love how he talks about him and Thurston as if they are the one guitarist

@franciskhoury4288 7 лет назад

Listening to SY, it really seems that way. They are both very much playing on the same wavelength.

@surrealchemist 3 года назад

Kim wasn't always on Bass either. They just had some communal guitars but some they gravitated more towards for their own style.

@Murmil1o 6 месяцев назад

Sonic youth has always seen themselves as like one identity. Lee even said it himself that they share everything, it’s a democracy.

@Orieus 8 лет назад

i meet Lee years ago in toronto before a show. Man he is the most down to earth straight up dude ive ever meet in the music scene. We spoke for about 35 mins, about what? fucking jazzmasters and the state of music in general. He gave me some awesome advice about my jazzmaster. Thanks Lee a true class act.

@bradfield2266 7 лет назад

Not a surprise at all to hear how personable he is. You can tell just from this video that he's the real deal, and a sweet guy.

@Orieus 7 лет назад

He Truly is.....At the time i spoke with him, he was telling me and my friend about some Jazzmasters that got stolen! it was a big deal cuz some of his favourite Jazzmasters were taken in '99. He got them back 5 of 13 though! one was found at a pawn shop around that chat we had! One of my all time fav bands and Guitar players.....His solo stuff is outstanding as well.

@joshuakodrat 6 лет назад

Oreius you’re right. That guitar’s stolen tragedy makes the SY’s music on NYC G&F was completely different, with much of Experimental music on that album. But for me, that’s not a big deal, NYC G&F album still a such of great album and more sophisticated than any SY’s album in that time

@JosefRosam 2 года назад

what advice did he give you?

@bifjohnson1986 29 дней назад

I had the same experience. Very kind, smart, thoughtful guy.

@ipongrac 7 лет назад

A very cool interview, and he's probably right about the influence of Dinosaur Jr *and* Sonic Youth on Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, who in turn certainly had a big influence on other early '90s UK alternative guitarists in terms of the using the offsets. But there were also guys like Elvis Costello and Robert Smith of the Cure who were using Jazzmasters in the UK starting in the late '70s and who were pretty influential, too. So, the popularity of the offsets in the UK wasn't all due to Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr.

@danielstoddart 11 месяцев назад

That's right. The cover of Elvis Costello's first album is the first time I ever saw a Jazzmaster.

@thewickedwizard 14 лет назад

Never been a huge fan of Jaguars/Jazzmaster or Mustangs but loved what Lee had to ay about these guitars. Never been a Sonic Youth fan either but I am open minded to peoples love of the guitar in any shape or form. For me the Tele still reigns supreme.

@spaceghost5371 8 лет назад

+Kim Alatore Danny Elfman is the man!

@cardigansarecool 7 лет назад

Yeah definitely. I think he was playing them even earlier than that too , there's footage of him playing one at the US Festival in 83 or something.

@k.g.alatore355 7 лет назад

I think he was using a Jaguar then, but he coulda used a Jazzmaster earlier than I imagined. He had a Candy Apple Red '60s Jaguar with a white pickguard circa Nothing to Fear and Good For Your Soul and then sometime around Dead Man's Party he switched to a Fiesta Red Jazzmaster with a tortoise-shell type pickguard which he used all the way up to the Dark at the End of the Tunnel era, and then he used PRS's from then on.

@Balonious_Crunk 12 лет назад

I like Lee Ranaldo better. There's millions of metal guitarist out there, but its very rare that you find a guitar that does something very unique.

@permian11 15 лет назад

jaguars are so easy to figure out, i have a jaguar bass and it takes maybe 15 minutes to master what they do and they give you a huge range of possible tones

@frenchkids 15 лет назад

Considering their standing and the obvious attention that they garner for the Jazzmaster model, it's so surprising that Fender haven't introduced a Thurston and Lee Signature. I think they own about 20-23 jazzmasters between them.

@briands1993 11 лет назад

Man, you're so right. See, I LOVE Dimebag, he was great, but what this guy said makes no sense. Lee is a hell of a guitarist, just like Thurston. It's not all technique and precision, because feeling plays a real important part in guitar playing too!

@flipidy94 11 лет назад

the extra scale length will prevent fret buzz, I have a real problem with low tuning on my telecaster

@GeoAl09 16 лет назад

hes got a signature guitar???!?!? i didnt know that. shit i wanna go and get one

@MattyWhens 13 лет назад

@fetchmybeer Well, they took out all of the tone controls, so the main difference is that this one has humbuckers, and Thurston's has traditional Jazzmaster pickups. The Jazzmaster pickups will have more of a single coil brightness and clarity to them. They'll probably be noisier, too, but hey, if you're into Sonic Youth, you'd probably be into that.

@davepearen8954 2 года назад

Cool guy . Awesome!

@freekasaur 11 лет назад

I've recently discovered that my jaguar handles a really low alternate tuning (B standard) quite well, almost better than my jazzmaster or tele does. I think it has something to do with the extra string length provided by the trememlo system.

@PubliusRutiliusLupus 14 лет назад

Cool video. What an articulate dude. Way better than the Mascis Jazzmaster video, who basically only bought one because he didn't have enough money for a Strat.

The "Jazzblaster" pickups are a neat mod. I wonder how Strat single coils would fair?

@jacoobyslaps 5 лет назад

Outcast Outdoors - On a Fishin' Mission That’s basically a Jaguar. Jaguar pickups are just slightly reconfigured Strat pickups.

@whenlifehandsyou 10 лет назад

I like the 25.5" scale, I love the tele deluxe pickups, but what I don't get is why you would want to get ride of a tone knob. I would want this guitar with 2 volume and 2 tone for each pickup. That would make it perfect.

@callumsutherland2954 5 лет назад

The tone knob thing, I imagine, is just because the sheer amount of pedals and effects draped on top of thhe guitar tone makes it essentially useless.

@yoyowav12 4 года назад

@@callumsutherland2954 Well Ranaldo (or Thurston for that matter) use little to no pedals in their playing though, so I don't why you would say that.

@AeolianSeventh 14 лет назад

Yeah, I've always heard that about wood, but if you block it with plastic it will absorb treble. Steel, brass, or any wood are fine, but plastic absolutely anywhere on the guitar is going to deaden tone. Not that this concerns me, because I loves me some upbends.

@tim05519 7 лет назад

@straightupwv 14 лет назад

Isn't the scale of a Jazzmaster the same as a Strat? A Strat's scale is 25.5". I always thought the Jazzmaster was the same.

@danielstoddart 11 месяцев назад

It is exactly the same. Actually, Telecasters, Stratocasters, and Jazzmasters are all 25.5" scale length. Which means it's easy to switch between them, the feel is not that much different.

@LfunkeyA 14 лет назад

@hjackhammer it's not the same as a jag. and apparently they really liked jags

@frenchkids 15 лет назад

Where can you view these prototypes? Thanks for the reply.

@brundontfreeze000 15 лет назад

i agree... i originally was going to buy a jazzmaster for 5oo from gutiar center but once i had the money... the guitar was already sold.. so i bought a mustang.. i bought it when i was 15 but the only reason why i really bought is because i was going through my grunge phase.. it sounded crappy and after i replaced the japanese parts it fucking kills!

@GenteelCretin 15 лет назад

"Specially Made" but probably not distinct from other designers as far as Alnico pickups go. I don't think Cunife would be too expensive seeing as how the magnet is still being used with linear transducers or something. I d'know. I guess it's kinda neat that Fender is changing the formula, but it's irritating they just don't go and do it right. It makes it hard on eBay, too... like trying to find an old semi-hollow Starcaster and only coming up with knockoffs.

@arrisfilms 15 лет назад

Me too!

@muzboz 13 лет назад

I approve of this because he removed all those stupid switches and dials. WAY TOO MANY CONTROLS ON A JAZZMASTER. Personally, I think a Les Paul has too many controls. I really prefer the VOLUME, TONE, PICKUP SWITCH format of an SG myself. The JAZZBLASTER certainly sounds like a great improved format, for my taste. :) Go Renaldo!

Lee Ranaldo talks about his Fender® Jazzmaster® guitar

@MattyWhens 13 лет назад

@Iamcola65 Saying that Dimebag is better than Lee Ranaldo is like saying that Louis Armstrong is better than Ludwig von Beethoven. The music is too different to compare. Sure, Dimebag played crazy, technical heavy metal guitar. Ranaldo doesn't, but he does what he needs to well for the style of music he's playing. To compare him to such a different guitarist like that doesn't prove much.

@nwl77 15 лет назад

Should I get a Jaguar, Jazzmaster, or Mustang. PLEASE HELP!

@MrSmadSmartAlex 12 лет назад

Whether Dimebag is a better guitarist than Lee Ranaldo or not depends on your definition of "better". I go by what sounds better. Other people are free to disagree and prefer Dimebag's playing.

@advilbrewer 14 лет назад

well, it seems that his "jazzblaster" is nothing like a jazzmaster at this point after all the modifications that changed all the aspects that made it a jazzmaster in the first place. I like Sonic Youth but I think they may fall into the category of people who use jazzmasters just because they look cool and were cool because not many people used them. I like the way My Bloody Valentine used them because he took advantage of the natural tone of the JM. Don't think I am hating on SY, just opinion.
