Marc your the best!!! Please take good care of yourself this new year we all want and need you around for a long time!!!
no offense...you are 'you're'
These vids are so enjoyable……just plain speak about music and gear. Great Job sir!
One perk about working and displaying at NAMM is on the last day of the show you can go around during tear down and talk to some of the other exhibitors especially from China and get insane discounts on equipment because they don't want to ship it back I got a blue tenor saxophone for $50 and several guitars for under $100
Thanks for the video, I have been a musician for so long that, I hung around a small music store and one day Larry DiMarzio called and the shop owner said “ Tell him I’m busy and I will call him back “. Probably around 1972 or 73
I remember when the earliest Taylor guitars came out and they were sold on consignment at a tiny bluegrass shop.. they had a prototype basically.
Fast forward over fifty something years and I’m hooked on gear worse than ever
Mark, your shop looks great. I enjoy your videos. Thank you. MJ in Chicago.
Thanks for all you do! 😄
Excellent video Mark..... Hope you have a great weekend.
Marc, you should consider a weekly podcast covering the industry news with various other guests. I always appreciate your insight on things. Also, I wouldn't hate it if you played a little on the way out of some of the clips.
I’d watch the heck out of that!
Thanks.
Hey Gary, I have purchased a bunch of your custom pick guards for a lot of my Gibsons and you were always a great help. I never realized this was your channel, or at least I believe it is :)
Great feeds man, thanks for doing what you do.
Tommy~
Thanks for your videos, love your laid back approach. Honestly I feel like fender schmender, Martin schmartin and the amount of pedals just make my head spin but these are probably your bread and butter, don’t get me started on strings. What I found cool in recent Namms is the amount of boutique acoustic builders there that are redefining guitars with affordable well built ones putting Martin to shame on the same level, sure there are electric ones too, more interesting than the companies banking on a brand that dominates only because of unfounded brand loyalty.
Thnx Marc from Arizona
Love the content. As always.
My wife and I are doing a cross country RV trip late summer this year from Oregon, and I have Gary's Guitar earmarked as one of our stops. My wife has been warned about letting me go to music stores without supervision... see you in September!
Thank you!
Thank you Marc for all of these videos!!! Great looking local shop dude!
Love your videos. I live about 25 minutes from the Anaheim Con Center. Like to snake my way in someday. Also, who buys new guitars nowadays!
Honestly, my real interest is in the accessories. I think it's where they can be growth for brick and mortar stores, innovative things that you don't know you need until you see them.
Greatest guy out there
Spalted maple. Glorious machine it is. I was just poking around on their site and saw you were a dealer. Mine is the 130
This channel is my shit. I’m a professional musician and it’s nice to hear some real talk
Hi. Thank you for the entertaining and informative videos! Was there any word from Fender at NAMM if the Standard Series will be expanded to include jazzmasters and jaguars and mustangs? Thanks
Not yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. However buy the J Mascais Squire Jazzmaster while you can, it's the best Jazzmaster out there.
@GarysGuitarsUSA Thanks for the reply. I'm curious to see if they would do the Standard Series offsets with all the features the Squier CVs have but the Players don't- rhythm circuit, phase switches, etc. And thanks for the tip.
I see you’re a Teton dealer. I bought one last year. Spalted maple. Glorious acoustic!
They are an exceptional value. You get a lot for not a lot of money.
Class D sounds good but it is not a style of amp that you can cut corners on. When it is not built right, which is usually just as expensive as a tube amp, it has a short lifespan and is usually disposable. I hope this isn't the case with a lot of these amps but a good many of them are disposable.
Good movie series
What did you think of the new Marshall pedals? 🎸
I didn't get a chance to try them, but I'm interested by them, I would probably buy one sooner than I would buy most of their new amps.
Thanks for the video Mark! Sorry this has nothing to do with NAMM, but I saw Mark's video on the Fender pro jr., Overall it seems good, I am thinking of getting one, but does anyone have any experience with the long term reliability of this amp? If anyone wants to reply, what is your experience with the Fender Pro jr.? Thank you
I've personally had one for about 7 years. I find it to be very reliable.
@@GarysGuitarsUSA Thank you so much Mark! I also remember all the guitar talk episodes you had with Gary, I'll have to revisit more of those
Class d has been the bass power for at least 10 years.
👍👍👍
Interesting comment about everything turning into the same thing. I think that’s an inevitable result of digital. Everything has everything and they all sound and look like the one that’s the most popular, like why all phones and all cars look the same
I’m old fashioned and miss the world before it was a bunch of big gray buildings that sell small black electronic devices
True. But real amps start looking the same too, with color leather from Marshall to Magnatone, 2 rock…. 😊
@ true. Seems like Leo Fender was the only one ever with guts to innovate lol. Although there is Orange Amps, but they just do that one thing
I think Marshall has the same problem as Gibson; people expect them to do what they always do, complain about the new products when they innovate and then complain when they don’t innovate
Vox amps definitely have a look all their own and it’s not for me! I do like how they sound though
Class D amplification generally has higher efficiency than the A,B,C class etc!
The new Orange Dual Baby is AB solid state
🤘👋👍
Quilter Labs amps blow everyone away.
Wish I knew what Class D means ?
Class D is a new kind of digital based amplification. It has no transformers, no tubes, no transistors. It's all chip based. I used to suck for sure. Now it's getting better.
Easier to incorporate modeling. Fender sells a lot of Mustangs.
Briefly, class D employs a digital technique called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Used for decades in AC motor control. Requires an inductive load like a motor winding or speaker coil.
Thanks All!
What about "the Dumble Amp" re-introduction?
Reintroduction is overstating it by a bit.
It feels so very half baked. Motivation is to renew the IP. Nobody interviewed seemed to have any passion for building something new, more “because we have to”.
@@legomywallet630Giving ‘we need to protect our financial investment’ rather than anything else.
Their booth was in the strangest place, and had the door closed. Felt very unwelcoming.
@@GarysGuitarsUSA Just watched a Reverb video and it was bizarre - felt like they were trying to elevate ‘Mr. Dumble’ to be a saint, but only for the rarified few if you are deemed worthy.
Nord is still top of the hep.
Of coarse everyone is making Class D amps now. The mystique is blown away. 10 - 15 years ago I interviewed for a Production Engineer Job an a compressor manufacturer. He was convinced he could hear the difference between Surface mount and discrete. Between transformer and switch mode supplies. He's out of business now.
If you use good DSP and a good class D you get an amp that sounds however you design it to sound except is lighter, more reliable and uses less power .... supplied by a switch-mode supply. They sound good and its repeatable. Unless you buy both and compare, you would never know., and neither will your audience. Tubes are decades old technology so unless you actually want an antique why would you buy one?
IDK, EHX was doing some shady stuff when it came to tubes and pricing not too long ago. Really put me off.
It was because of sanctions by the Russian government against exporters, the Russian government called them "counter sanctions"
@@GarysGuitarsUSA I’m well aware of the sanctions, I’ll have to refresh my memory because IIRC it went beyond that. They weren’t transparent about what was happening and they have such a monopoly on tube business that it’s not great.
Realized a long time ago I’m not and will never be a great guitarist, 300 or 3000 guitar the result is the same. Stopped buying instruments and effects a long time ago and just make do with what I got
my shirt lol
I’m wearing that shirt too lmao
NAMM is for the wannabes now. Influencers & UA-camrs. I’ve owned a music shop for 12 years and have never joined or attended any NAMM shows.
My business does just fine without them.
So are you calling Mark a "wannabe" or an "influencer"? 🙄
I enjoy having an influence without being an influencer.
I'll never buy new or name brand again.
Kits, used and upgrades.
Western materialism is over.
Greedy things with nothing new to offer.
Buy Nothing New. + No Pedals.
Go cry in the corner. Nobody wants to hear it.
Nord is still top of the hep.
