Finally got to see these guys a couple years back in SF. He used about four different guitars during the set, and even with all the distortion he uses each one sounded completely distinct from the others and suited what he was playing perfectly. Clearly not just swapping axes at random
@@daverice2426 Sometimes it is about the tuning of the guitars. Sonic Youth have/had a truck full of Jazzmasters and Jaguars and had to change the guitar between every couple of songs as they have unique alternate tunings for many songs
This lineup has been around far longer than their initial run. It’s true when you find the right combination of band members and sounds, there is nothing like it.
Looks like a nice guitar. J Mascis is the real deal - some people just have the spirit of rock'n'roll within them. Dinosaur Jr have created so many great songs, pulling off that trick of sounding loud, raucous and melodic all at the same time.
I know he's not underrated to his fans, but J Mascis is an underrated/undertalked about guitar player. I love his style. I'd call his soloing feel style (which is typically my favorite) but that's just me.
Everything J does is GOLD, but there is a special magic in the moment at 5:51 when he has to take a deep breath and rouse himself before saying the word "funkier".
I love when I find clips of him in documentaries.... Two of my faves are "That Pedal Movie", and "Salad Days" (the DC Hardcore film, with Ian Mackaye & Henry Rollins).
I just want to say if Dinosaur Jr is ever in your local area you have to go see them! I saw them in ATL a couple years ago pre covid. They are so goddamn loud live it's amazing, my ears are still not the same.
I got hooked on Tarpit. Have followed closely since then. The songwriting, guitar playing, and the singing of J Mascis are consistently top notch. Kudos to Fender for recognizing an original group of musicians.
I own #77. I instantly fell in love with this guitar the second it was in my hands. I left the shop to think about it. Came back and bought it. I have barely set it down ever since. It instantly became my favorite.
What a pleasant treat in a time of dishonesty and bs… Some dudes rocking out, no auto-tune, no bull, just straight awesomeness…, this gives me hope, thanks J…
He usually has Marshall full stacks, strategically angled in relation to each other. I guess this being a Fender video, the Fender combos are appropriate.
@@danielstoddart Even then, he says he wears earplugs only cause their drummer hits his drums and particularly the cymbals really hard lmfao. Dude is crazy.
Start Choppin (No g ;) 9:08 Feel The Pain 17:05 I Ran Away Although all the songs start playing with J talking over them before the above timestamps. So probably best to just watch the whole thing as it’s only 21mins
@@fabricejarfi Been wondering the same thing as how distribution worked. I ordered as soon as I saw them about a week before release. Wasn't sure how long fender would make them since the purple sparkle jazzmaster was a short run.
20:25 I‘m the same! I write lyrics for my band but I don‘t even undertand myself the meaning of what I write but months or even years later I suddenly understand and see parallels to how my life was at that moment or even became later.
I lol'ed at them not letting Lou play his beat up old Gibson bass and swapping out all their Marshals with Fender amps. I get it but still kind of funny.
I have been loving this band since the first time I heard Bug in 1998. With a Tele not trying to cover all the frequencies like a Jazz I can finally hear J's voice in all its naked earnestness. We all knew the noise was a delicious veil all along. The guys deserve a different sonic slant on things. Even though this Signature model reeks of commercialism I still wish them all the very best.
In another way it kinda makes sense, as early Marshalls were based on Fenders, the JTM45 is pretty much a modded Bassman. Also, J uses effects all the time (even his clean tone comes from an overdrive pedal), so the amp probably doesn't matter that much.
“Start Choppin” I watched a video of this and knew the dinosaur jr. I like not only the jazz master but also him who plays it using a telecaster and Les Paul Jr.
I Love this old school camera person bobbing around Infront of a band desperately trying to ignoring him/her. Heh it's amazing. Now all we need is a crowd of people completely failing to catch some dummy trying to stage dive. Anyways great video, Ty
Sold me on wanting that Tele... And a big muff XD. Watch music performances at 1x, watch the interview sections at 1.25 or 1.5x and it's more like a normal interview :)
i've watched every J interview out there and I have no idea why I've never done this before. He sounds like a normal dude at 1.25x. I cant stop laughing about this.
If you’ve never owned a tele this would make sense. But if so, you’d know, of course it matters. The action, the pick ups, the metal plate on the tele that gives it that sweet spot. Can’t be imitated, that’s why everyone from Kurt cobain to Kirk hammit uses teles in the studio

Facts.
Big Muff Triangle here! Prob get the Ram's Head next; they definitely sound best with single coil pickups

This is just unbelievable how J's voice does not age at all.
It helps if you sounded old already when you were 20

These are the original members.

I like Lou but miss Mike....
This is the original lineup t boy
@@JBmusicart yeah, I thought that Lou was an original member?
He has one of the most recogniceable and underrated voices imo
He could read an audiobook and I’d be hooked
His voice is recognisable because it’s awful. The whole band is trash.
Recognizable

Damn, that's my favorite number. Let me know if you ever sell it! :-) HAha.
15 hours of interview resulted in about the most intense 10 minute spoken words by J Mascis!
Serious tho, what an awesome person!
I want the full 15 hrs
Release the Mascis cut!!!
Damn J, chill out.
I still want to be J. Mascis when I grow up. (I'm 36)
What a pleasant treat in a time of dishonesty and bs… Some dudes rocking out, no auto-tune, no bull, just straight awesomeness…, this gives me hope, thanks J…
Don’t cha hate it when J. Mascis comes out with a new guitar and now you gotta buy a new guitar? Me too.
Love how he has the amps set up so they are blasting right into his ears. Really cool guitar, too.

Yoo the reason I wanted a tele in the first place was Jeff Buckley and J's Start Choppin riffs
I got a Squier Toploader Telecaster because of Jeff Buckley❤
Proud owner of #362 and it's a killer telecaster.

@@timhall3575 They said commercialism, not capitalism lmao
I love any dude who stacks multiple fuzzes
Hearing this stuff makes me miss the good old days of WFNX.
Holy way back machine!
J is a beautiful soul and artist
Wow, thats a great recording with a tight band!
I love this band so much.
I swear I've never seen J more excited in his life than here! 😜
I love so much Dinosuar Jr. I’m happy every time I listen to them!
Much love to J, Lou, Murph & Fender!
I want a J Mascis tele. I love this band forever.
Interesting to see him rocking on the fender amps, which makes sense in this promo situation... I have to say their sound/tone sounds great here also.
In another way it kinda makes sense, as early Marshalls were based on Fenders, the JTM45 is pretty much a modded Bassman.
Also, J uses effects all the time (even his clean tone comes from an overdrive pedal), so the amp probably doesn't matter that much.
Love it more than Marshalls. Sounds more hairy with the muff!
Love J., he's simply 'The Wizard of Fuzz'! :D
I love this band more all the time . Jay has had a huge influence on my playing %100
Thumb is my favorite song
My friend’s dad really rocks!
who’s your friends dad??
In my opinion it really doesn't doesn't matter what he plays. He'll make it sound great.
This band is growing on me
Really enjoyed that! Thanks you guys. I've been listening to j since the mid 90's. Dinosaur Jr. Has got a sound that is only theirs.
J Mascis very underrated guitarist, singer, and songwriter
It sound so good with all Fender Gear 😍
I can’t wait to interview J tonight! Wish me luck!! 🥺❤️
“Start Choppin”
I watched a video of this and knew the dinosaur jr.
I like not only the jazz master but also him who plays it using a telecaster and Les Paul Jr.
YES‼︎The sound that hung fuzz in the telecaster is the unexpectedly best‼︎
I Love this old school camera person bobbing around Infront of a band desperately trying to ignoring him/her. Heh it's amazing. Now all we need is a crowd of people completely failing to catch some dummy trying to stage dive.
Anyways great video, Ty
I want to see the outtakes when he would fall asleep during the interview :P
Hmm.. great Tele, I like the blue sparkle & the 58 top loader setup
It's so strange to hear and see J Mascis not playing a Jazzmaster. Great sounding Telecaster, regardless.
Seeing it is weird, indeed. But hearing it isn’t weird, given that 90% of the leads you’ve heard on Dino records was done with that Tele.
I noticed him starting to play a Tele more at live shows around 2009.
He's been playing telecasters live since 94.
He’s talked about being associated with jazzmasters but mostly playing teles and les Paul jrs
Oh man he put it through it's paces on Feel the pain......
love this guy. that's proper chatty for our J :)
Suena increíble con todo el backline fender 💜
I gotta say, I love J's tone here. Maybe it's the mix, but there's so much more clarity than his usual Marshall stack live sound.
This is amazing!!! Thank you fender :)
Great stuff, J and his band are legends 👌
Man... You can't tell me that opening riff was not inspired by Jimi's "Wait Until Tomorrow". Very cool though. I love J.
I don't need a 3rd telecaster, but that blue sparkle is awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Jay Mascis's spirit animal is eyore

Western MA represent.
God I love this
Wow an actual good Dino j mix.
guitar hero
i have the J Mascis Jazzmaster, now I obviously need the Tele :)
Tele’s are the greatest guitars in history. I’d be willing to bet it’s everyone’s desert island guitar. Anyone who doubts this has never owned one
That sweet spot between the seventh and twelfth fret,,, nothing better
My girlfriend just got me a Squire Tele custom at CMC...
Just put it through my Marshall this morning....tasty.
Love the look. Wish for a Jazzmaster tele hybrid. That would be an awesome J Mascis model
Dinossauro Jr é foda! 🤘🏻😜
Where are the Marshalls and Lou's Gibson. C'mon.
espero que les hayan regalado esos nuevos instrumentos y amplificadores
Heaven forbid a promotional video actually be concerned with promoting the brand in question.
It really shows the musicianship that they are getting there signature sound without there standard gear
tbh I think J’s big muff turned up all the way into any amp turned up all the way is gonna sound like him haha
It’s a fender video bruv, it’s not surprising that they’re gonna hook them with fender gear
Just got mine today!!!
He looks thrilled
I've watched so many interviews with J in them and that's about as much as he'll express haha
First experience with J Mascis eh?
You do not know J
J for president
can't heart this enough
Would've loved to see the wall of Marshalls. It's part of his rig.
yes! transparency is key in good content marketing. Plus it's an awesome sight!
I honestly think this wall of fenders sound even better than the usual live tone. Plus he uses a fender twin and AC30 for recording anyway
やっぱカッコイイっ！
Always see them if they come to your town! My God they are loud live!
I love J. Masochist
Loved the vid
I love Dinosaur jr.
Love Dino jr. :))
最高か‼︎
im not really a guitar player, but the first song is using fuzz pedal.?big muff is same type of fuzz pedal sound..?
Murph is so funny! Nice Dude!
I lost the watch given to me for my 21st birthday in the moshpit of a Dino Jr gig in 1994. Curse you J
I love how Lou is using the Troy Sanders Jaguar
Amazing
What a guy, what a band. But can’t help thinking that with all those amps, pedals and processing the actual guitar doesn’t matter that much…
Maybe part of it is the feel of the guitar, the 25 and half scale radius, the look; the frame of mind it puts him in when he looks down at it
Yeah I’m sure he loves it - just not sure how relevant it is to mere mortals like us🙂
Doesn’t matter how nicely you decorate your house, if it’s built on sand it’s probably gonna be shit

His solos are a bit cleaner on his Jazzmasters..

i thought his fav was a jazzmaster ? but hell. that man can play anything
