    A dark circuit is pretty brilliant since an Esquire only has a bridge pickup

    • @joermnyc
      @joermnyc 5 років тому +7

      Fender’s idea was that the guitar player could also play “bass” to the point that he changed the value of the tone cap from .05uf (equal to a zeroed tone knob) to .1uf (more like something on a P-Bass tone knob) to make it even darker at some point.

    I believe after the Broadcaster... err. Telecaster came out they just used those bodies for Esquires, so if you take off the pickguard it’s an easy conversion. Bruce Springsteen has one that was converted, but he disconnected the neck pickup.

    Indistinguishable sound of fender esquire, even the dark circuit has glow and character.

    @grantkgoacher 5 років тому

    I may only be 19, but the Cars are one of my favorite bands. I dig both Ric and Ben on lead vocals, Elliot Easton’s sick licks, Greg Hawkes keyboard parts (which I believe are some of the most recognizable synth parts in music history) I even think David Robinson deserves a lot of credit for drumming for this fantastic band. Even though I didn’t get to live during their heyday in the ‘80s, I was very saddened by the loss of Ric. His music will continue to influence many other young musicians that are even younger than myself. It really was a better time for music than 2019. I’m definitely not a fan of what my generation thinks should be considered music. I absolutely loved the tribute today Lemmo, even though you played two Ben Orr songs. 😂 It’s ok Ric wrote both those songs anyways.
