Follow up to my previous review which had terrible audio quality- • Video ,
This time, I used a high quality mic and recorded a bunch of examples through both clean and distorted channels on the Vox VT30. I play the pickups alone and in combination, and demonstrate the sound of the tone knob.
You can see I've got all the electronics pulled out, in preparation for upcoming modifications. See my video on how to remove the electronics through the f-hole here: • Changing Semi Hollow B...
So P-90s do actually sound good through the Vox VT series amps? Because I've tried out several P-90 equipped guitars through a VT30 that used to be at my local Guitar Center, and they all sounded really dead, not really bright at all. And I vaguely remember cranking the amp's treble and mid controls when trying each guitar out.
One problem i had when i initially got this guitar is that the output jack fell inside the guitar. Took it back to the store and they threw in a new jack with locking washers - I'd definitely recommend doing that, as it comes with a VERY cheap jack from the factory.
Hello John Cooper, how are you ? I really loved the look of this guitar, but I still have not played it. It seems to be a nice option, but in these last days I discovered the fender mustang sonic duo, the Mexican one, I know that it is very different from epiphone, but I would like to know if in quality matter they are similar, Have you heard of this fender guitar?
John, Great info! I have the Inspired by JL Casino and really dig the P90's of that guitar and am very happy with it. I realize that the Casino is all hollow and that this reviera is not, but in your opinion whould there be much sonic difference between the two and worth picking up the Riviera if one already has the Casino? This model Riviera appears to be very hit or miss from one to the other too!
Hi, im thinking of purchasing this guitar. I would like to know if it is versitile because i like to play a lot of different styles. Also, how good is the tremalo because i like to use it and i am sometimes quite abusive with it, would it be able to withstand it? thanks.
How was the spring on the bigsby when you first got it? Was it stiff? did you have to work with it abit?
did you have to modify the switch to get the pickup combos? i thought it was just a regular 3 way switch. thanks
I like mine. I didn't do any experiments. I did have a pro set it up. I mean a real pro...not a kid at guitar center. Ball nickel 10s. I play through a Bad Cat Cougar 5 screwing around at home. I didnt like it thought the my vox or yamaha solid state. Couldnt feel the fuzz. I like the fuzz and the feel. Very bendy and whippy. The Bigsby has a solid feel.....very subtle. Great for.....slow blues. That bridge pick up zepplin thing John Cooper does is....pretty cool.
@johnplanetz I will very soon. Thanks a lot for your review, it's really nuanced, you don't talk only about the good things about this instrument. Thumbs up! :)
@themoroniccow why would you remove the center pickup? just get a regular Riviera or a Casino and put a Bigsby on it.
I am thinking in buying that guitar the problem is I don't know the weight of the guitar .Is it heavy?
It's around 8 pounds
You need to do radio with that smoooooth voice
@dragon21a its the nature of a bigsby to be a tad stiff you do not want it flopping around back there. try putting graphite lube on the spring and the pivot points;)
hi being a novice how was the velvet underground sound achieved as the publicity from epiphone says lou reed played one of these i know the guitar might have changed since then
Hey man I have the exact same model, but I experience this problem when I try to use it in a studio rehearsal or a live show. It makes so much noise even when I'm not playing and holding down the strings. Do you have the same problem?
Note that P93's are single-coils so you may be hearing standard single-coil EMI/RFI interference. Or you may have a ground wire issue: ua-cam.com/video/YSxXra9UN-0/v-deo.html
I've been wondering why they were wired like that. (3 way - middle always on)
Do you think this guitar would sound good through a Peavey ValveKing 212?
Please use a good tube for guitar demo's. Not a fan of solid star amp they don't have any mojo.
Hey which one you prepare sheraton ii pro or this reviera p93? Plsss answer me tnx
Do these pickups make a lot of hum with overdrive?
How it sounds if you play it with a Boss pedal? ds1 or so
thanks for your videos
good luck with your proyect
I have that same amp, thanks I truly know what it wouls sound like for me.
I was thinking of replacing the pickups,have you or anyone you know done this,and if so do you have any suggestions???
Judging by all the videos posted here you learned quite a bi. I wonder if you decided that this wasnt worth it in the end. My only semi hollowbody is an ibanez as7. Its been rock solid. If you can find a schematic of Reverends bass contour circuit you might like it. Its handy on my 390 model.
If I could do it again, I would have chosen a 2-humbucker model, rather than 3 P-90s. I haven't tried Reverend's bass contour circuit, but I wrote this post about G&L's treble/bass circuit which is probably pretty similar to Reverend's: www.planetz.com/treble-and-bass/
hey im usin my sisters account im 13 and i was wondering if this guitar would be good for a sorta jazz and blues tone and if it takes much work to modify it?
Why is your sister called Dave?
@@connora5752 Good question!
The old 2 pickup model with the Frequensator tailpiece was a better guitar and they should have left well enough alone.
there's something really cutting the tone on the guitar man, change those pots and i'm sure you'll get a way better tone
If you are considering this guitar check this review also! ua-cam.com/video/npOZue8gzxo/v-deo.html
thanks for da review.
Somebody is a Zep Fan!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?
WHY!! that carboard idea is foolish its ruins the natural tone
nice fat tone!
