Kudos to Brian Wampler for keeping this an honest gear report and serving the best in music possible in allowing competitor product to be shown on Brents commentary. It shows great integrity, and your goodwill towards your clients best interests... as a fan of Strymon and Wampler, my boards are combinations of both, and that hits tones no single company has achieved - (yet). Well done Brian & Brent!
The fender telecaster and deluxe reverb seems to be the starting point for the Nashville sound. I have a pair of 71s a thinline tele and a deluxe reverb and love them very much!
Brent's the Man! Tele guys he is a Tele lover at heart, BUT when you do all the different projects he works on You have to be have a full arsonal of everything available and when you get to this status and have guitars specifically designed for and by you know they have got to be fabulous. Aren't we all just a little jealous?
Am I the only person that found it hilarious when he started digging through that pedal drawer and being like "Oh yeah! I forgot I had this pedal!" LOL! Also it drives my ocd crazy the way that he pronounces reverb without the long e. He's Brent Mason though. LOL!
A lot of his pedals have changed. Pedals I noticed that are no longer on his board and weren't mentioned: EP Booster, RC Booster, Line6 DL4 to name a few.
I agree with open back cabinet, it breathes easier. Even for bass like the 4x12 Fender De Ville sounds like a million bucks, so they tell me and a good wooden floor helps out. Concrete don't vibrate. Boxed in cabinets are muffeled.
I live in Nashville. Brent is not the first person to say that their guitars sounded better after being "washed in the flood". Brad Paisley's tech said the same thing. I don't know the science behind that. I remember how heartbreaking it was watching the Gibson Showcase store out by the Opry just throw away all those Les Pauls, 335s, etc... even the ones where nothing was wrong with them. It's enough to make you cry.
but,.... HOW DOES IT SOUND? Sampling, as he goes is a great way to put the thing with the sound. Less talkin, more rockin or some of both on gear rundowns is always helpful.
I know, sarcasm does not translate well in typing. He clearly says they are working together on something. I really need to create a "times new sarcastica" type font.
I love these guys with a billion guitars and stuff. How come the one you see them with the most is of course......the dinosaur.........the ore.....the tree......the brick. One step up from the cigar box. Throw me a Tele and lets go. Bam !
Seth Wooten More correct, it's a Joe Glaser B-Bender mechanism (which attaches to the neck plate of the guitar rather than have the back of the guitar routed like a Parsons/White).
It's funny how he's an amazing guitarist yah know, but has the most beatup ugly looking guitars I've ever seen haha. I'm sure they still sound great, but its just funny to see someone who is famous for his guitar work, not have really "pretty guitars". If it sounds good I guess that's all that matters.

I love that every guitar he has he says “sounds great.” No shit it sounds great, Brent Mason is playing it.

He always sounds like he just woke up.

been a fan for a long time.
Thanks Brian for always bringing good videos and cool pedals! Plus the bad ass himself...The king of country!
The Tele is truly a lovable guitar...simple but always a favorite to all guitarists that own one.
Very true, that's why it is a "Brent Mason gear run down" video and not a "Brent Mason playing guitar" video ;)
I'm back here to remember the company name "CREATION AUDIO" I'm ready for one of those boosts.

That’s amazing to think those guitars survived the flood!

I wish Brent would talk about and demo the b-bender on his tele! What a great player and all around humble guy!
+John Kendall
Pretty sure his is a G bender.
+lkb3rd Nah, Brent uses a B-bender. Paisley uses a G bender though.
A lot of his pedals have changed. Pedals I noticed that are no longer on his board and weren't mentioned: EP Booster, RC Booster, Line6 DL4 to name a few.
I'm a shredder & a Bluesman.
But, Brett Mason is a Guitarist & one of the very best.
Love his tone on the neck pickup, so warm. Beautiful...
Brent Mason's not bad either.
amazing they saved any guitars from the flood. thank God they did!
man I want that tele....
i love how he just throws the pedals in the drawer

Boxed in cabinets are muffeled.
And I thought I was the only person who had beer stains on my guitar. Yes!
Yes it is out!! The PRS Brent Mason Signature. And only $13,000.00!!! What a steal!!
Love your sound! Ask you do u leave eq on most of the time?

Brent has had a high turn over of amps in recent years, some of them were destroyed in the floods as well. :(
yeah I hear ya.
I wonder what the mod is in the Bassman! I have a 1966 bassman head that I would like to do the same with...
but,.... HOW DOES IT SOUND? Sampling, as he goes is a great way to put the thing with the sound. Less talkin, more rockin or some of both on gear rundowns is always helpful.
The B-Bender on his Tele is a Joe Glaser B-Bender.
Does it hurt the amp or a bad thing to run compressor all the time?
Not at all, well, it's never hurt any of mine in the years I've been using them!!! :)
What about the B-bender on his guitar?!
Did he say a signature PRS model is being developed?
what happened to the genz benz?
Always wondered how those amp heads release all the heat they produce? Having all that foam around them. Some of my amps have a top vent too.
The back panel and front panel come off the rack. You also usually take the back panel off the amplifiers
On his tele?
Brent s awesome . ...wonder if his tele has ash or alder body ?
He said swamp ash.
Lets play !!!!
He kept pointing to his cabinets,never did pan over there...Wtf

Strymon should definitely rename it the el capistanO
Err... he did actually :)
That is not a 68 SG.
Brent, it looks like you have reconfigured where you attach your strap on the tele. How did you do that?
drill a hole, put the strap button there. done.
it's a b-bender mechanism, it usually requires a strap button relocation
Seth Wooten More correct, it's a Joe Glaser B-Bender mechanism (which attaches to the neck plate of the guitar rather than have the back of the guitar routed like a Parsons/White).
no he did not.
lol @ 10:09
