always had 10's on my offsets - wicked video as ever and hope the mastery vibrato is a fantastic addition to the wonderful instrument!!

@DisabilityExams Год назад

I had a 1964 Jaguar back in the day, with the original bridge. Used 10s, never had a problem with strings jumping.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

It's amazing what a good setup can do, breaks a lot of the stereotypes that I'm not quite sure how they started to begin with.

@the92project 2 месяца назад

I use 9-46 on my CV JM. No problems. Tuned to EB too

@AudiomoMusic 2 месяца назад

Yep, much ado about nothing and this whole myth of needing 12 gauge strings on offsets is absolute nonsense from some people

@JP-jy7sk Год назад

Great stuff! Thank you!

I'm happy you found this useful thanks for watching!

@GoodmanRecordingsTokyo Год назад

First, excellent performance! I've always wanted to hear a Momose as their guitars are beautiful.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Thanks and they truly are astounding instruments I hope to have more of some day

I've got the MIJ Hybrid II JM which had the low trem arm problem which was rather disappointing. But after putting it in a vise and carefully bending it up a few degrees, the height and angle of the trem arm are now exactly how I'm used to from my Johnny Marr Jaguar which seems the most natural. I also fixed the loose trem arm problem by tightening the collet with pliers. I actually overtightened a bit, making the trem arm difficult to move around. But a drop of bike chain lube down the arm took care of that.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Amazing what a little bit of bike chain lube, vasoline, big bends nut sauce can do for the offset vibrato haha

@aminahmed2220 Год назад

What a fantastic video in my opinion offset is kind of interesting

@bluwng Год назад

I would never use 13 gauge. 13 is extreme but I think the heavier gauge would have more to do with scale length vs bridge design at least for logical people vs superstitious people.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

I agree, I think the argument for using the bigger gauges would be more reasonable if it was soley based on the 24" scale length of the Jaguar.

@geoffreyalder7275 Год назад

I used a thin strip of PTFE (plumbers tape) on the 2 grub screws (for adjusting the bridge height)....that way you can still adjust the screws......with loctite, if you want to make fine adjustments........well you can't, because you've locked them !!!

@thecappy Год назад

I picked up a MIJ Inoran sig JM. I switched out to the Johnny Marr bridge(7.25”) and avri trem with the Marr collet. Fender made Staytrem on the cheap.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

The collet and arm trick are very clever indeed. The Fender version is actually still a little bit different to the Staytrem but is a gigantic step forward for them to actually acknowledge how good of an upgrade it is from what they traditionally were using.

@thesurfjunkies Год назад

We second your advice and all our JM’s and Jags are shimmed and We too use 9’s and 10’s on our Jazzmasters without incident. Nice surf playing too brother. What amp and verb was that? ‘65 Deluxe Reverb or something else?

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Thanks guys, this is a Victory V40 combo, the reverb on it isn't quite as good as a DRRI or a princeton but it gets in that ballpark decently enough for reverb

@thesurfjunkies Год назад

@@AudiomoMusic you made it sound great.

@denyel_ Год назад

the improvements on my jaguarare all credited to you when its set up how its supposed to be theres nothing like it

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Man i'm really happy to have helped and it's true you get these things set up right and they really are magic.

@j.a.s.1416 Год назад

I thought this was going to be a Jazzmaster and 13’s 😅

@Glicksman1 Год назад

I have started to use a set of .008s with very thin flatwound low E, A and D strings on my totally stock Jazzmaster. It sounds great, much better than before with .011s, and plays so easy. It's as if the guitar has exhaled from all that former string tension, is relaxed and is sweetly, effortlessly singing.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

8's you really like to live dangerously according to the internet haha.. I've never done that. I think I should give it a try just for the hell of it at some point it sounds really fun.

@Glicksman1 Год назад

@@AudiomoMusic :D Dangerously? I know that some think it, but really not at all. Rick Beato, Rhett Shull, Dylan, and a few others have episodes that show how lighter strings sound better and help us to play better as well. It's a myth that heavier strings sound better. The truth is just the opposite. I think that the "Stevie Ray Vaughn uses bridge cables" thing caused a lot of players to think that heavy strings is why he sounds so great (and he does, for sure). But that is not why. It is, as usual, his hands and his incredible musical imagination. When going lower in gauge, some time is required to get used to the new feel and to play much lighter in both hands. It's not an automatic thing, but for many the increase in response, mid and upper -mid harmonics will keep them at it. Not giving it sufficient time is why most players dislike the feel of lighter strings. However, once in the groove with them, you can play with more finesse, nuance and produce a better overall tone. All change is intimidating and makes us feel insecure, but sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is exactly what is needed to become a better player.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Oh I was being totally sarcastic in regards to calling it dangerous. People really do get up in arms over stuff like that.

@Glicksman1 Год назад

@@AudiomoMusic Yes, I got it. People also get up in arms over whether one fingerboard/neck wood or cut imparts a different sound from another on a solid body guitar, which way the intonation screws of a TOM bridge ought to face, and such like. Our little thing is chock full of myths and superstitions which many swear to the death over.

@Barbarapape Год назад

13 gauge strings are like stair rods to me, 9 or 10's are as high as I go. The early Strat's came with heavy gauge strings and high action, the players back then must have had strong fingers!

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Oh man, I couldn't imagine actually playing strings that big on a regular basis hahaha

@Barbarapape Год назад

@@AudiomoMusic Hank Marvin complained that his first Strat was hard to play from the factory, it had 11's and a high action, those players had it tough back then.

@elevenAD Год назад

Agree lol, There is no way i would ever use 13s, hate the way they sound and they feel gross to my fingers. I dont stray above 9s!

@rainbowmade1880 Год назад

Trying to decide to put some higher gain Seymour Duncans in my Squier Jaguar which has ‘62 AVRI’s. I do have an American Original Jaguar which has great clean sounds. Antiquities or their higher gain pickups? Thoughts? It has all upgraded hardware and is set up well.

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

Lindy Fralin +10% in the bridge will do the trick just fine. Anything more than that you really start losing the jag vibe but man those beef up awesome.

@sarahhey8654 Год назад

The Momose Jag is 🔥 Have you had a chance to compare Mastery to Staytrem and Descendant vibratos / bridges?

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

The only one I haven't had on an offset yet is the Descendant, but one day I'm sure I'll get around to it I'm a bit obsessed with offsets haha. The Staytrem is very, very good and honestly all anyone would ever really need ( provided they are using a decent stock unit ) at a price that is simply impossible to beat.

@jamesgibson3242 5 месяцев назад

I have the Fender Japan Traditional Jaguar and as you said it came with .9s. I never had trouble. I don't know what people are doing to have issues with the bridge and light strings.

@AudiomoMusic 5 месяцев назад

Yeah if it didn’t work Fender Japan wouldn’t ship them with that string gauge, lots of user error I think.

@RiotBike Год назад

I can’t find the video you made about the Momose. Did you delete it?

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

I did not delete it, it wasn't a full on a review necessarily like I typically do. I will have one of those shortly but here is that one I'm referencing - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LPISpsAMQDY.html

@barnaclestval Год назад

I have a favor to ask. Will you give me a couple suggestions on a set of vintage spec'd pickups for a Jaguar? Thanks

@AudiomoMusic Год назад

My favorite for that are the Lindy Fralin stock Jaguar pickups - he modeled them perfectly from a vintage set.

@barnaclestval Год назад

@@AudiomoMusic Thank you. The Fralin set are part of a list I whittled down to 5 different pickups. Thank you for your quick reply & helpful recommendation. Keep up the good work!
