      A lot of the tone on the records was studio work. I don't know why so many people are atimate about copying his tone exactly down to every detail. The room your playing in effects tone quite a bit, so close enough is good IMO.

    I think your Frankenstein may have a grounding issue. I realize there’s a loud amp with a lot of gain going on, but I think I’m also hearing a ground issue when you are not holding the strings. It’s a pretty easy repair.

    • @Peter_Stoops
      @Peter_Stoops 27 днів тому +2

      Nope, that is the transformers in the cranked marshall. If you have never DIMED a plexi then it might be startling how noisy and buzzy they are; take it from me, I’ve been cranking plexi’s for nearly a decade and every one I have owned has buzzed exactly like his….(also they can smell bad, the smell of burning electronics, every old one I have had, which is a fair few, has stunk up my studio when cranked….one blew the transformer and shot a fireball and smoked when it died…)

    • @raoulduke8382
      @raoulduke8382 27 днів тому +1

      @@Peter_Stoops Yeah I get that, but I was also hearing the buzz escalate in volume as he let go of the strings, which to me says the bridge is not properly grounded.

    • @Peter_Stoops
      @Peter_Stoops 27 днів тому

      @@raoulduke8382 no electronics are 100% grounded, there is always some amount of escaping current, hence with a powerful enough meter you can find an eddy current on the most “closed” (shielded) of closed loops. Every guitar I’ve ever plugged into a cranked plexi hummed, including ground hum when you take your hands off the strings or make contact with the bridge or the tremolo springs. Those exact same guitars are DEAD QUIET thru my Friedmans and Soldanos….the plexi raises the amplifies the noise floor to the point where the smallest .01% noise is LOUD - so much so I refuse to use them live…I did a gig with a 20w plexi into a ua ox-box, dimed the plexi on the treble channel - it buzzed, local police radio came thru the amp, cell phones came thru the amp, just like in the old Hendrix and Zeppelin bootlegs……THE TONE WAS KILLER THOUGH😍😝😍😝

    • @SRHMusic012
      @SRHMusic012 25 днів тому +1

      Given that it's making noise only when he lets go means the ground is connected. If it still buzzed when he touched then it would indicate a broken ground connection between the bridge and electronics.

    • @gibsonfan159

    5:30 lick you can just use your middle finger for the 2nd note on the 1st string, instead of using the point finger for both. It's much easier and you get the same sound!

    ROBERT: I know maybe you don't review many budget guitars, but seeing this one reminded me, so I have a request…
    Would you please review the Firefly FFMN guitar with Eddie's Frankenstein finish? The FFMN is the "Musicman" body-style, not the Strat body version. I've been hearing so much about this specific guitar in online discussions and from guitar players I know who own a few Firefly's! And I mean it's even being praising it OVER OTHER Firefly FFMN guitars! Two of them even said to me; "It's the best Firefly guitar ever made!" Again, this is even over others of the same model Firefly (the FFMN).
    Also, they're saying it's way better than the Strat-body versions of the Firefly's with Eddie's Frankenstein paint job (finish).
    So I'd be really curious to see if your opinion matches with these comments. Unless you did and I'm just stupid and missed it? 😆
