Guest PhenomenOn

Eu detin una si pot sa va spun ca sunt chitari foarte bune, nu se dezacordeaza, se canta foarte usor pe una si se pun corzile foarte usor... Acum, totul tine de gust, puteti asculta Vitto Bratta, Allan Holdsworth, Brett Garsed, Tj Helmerich, etc. sa vedeti despre ce e vorba

Mie personal nu imi plac ca design dar performantele lor nu le pun la indoiala.

Eu unul nu mi-as cumpara - prefer stilul mai clasic de chitara (STRAT si Les Paul).

 

Totusi pentru amatori de Steinberger :)

Ce pareri aveti despre ghitarile headless ( is special Steinberger)?

Mie mi se par foarte ingenioase, revolutionare si moderne.

Si ca design mi se par cele mai frumoase. Am obsevat ca multa lume nu le agreaza deoarece sunt prea radicale. Sunt curios si de parerile voastre.

 

Sunt instrumente foarte apreciate, din cate stiu eu.

 

Mie personal imi plac insa nu acelea care corp asemanator cu o chitara normala ci acele cu corp patrat.

1. economie de materiale

 

2. Reclama agresiva

 

3 . Teoretic ar trebui sa aiba sustain mai bun . Nu mai ai reflexii ale corzilor de dupa pragus.

Lucru ce in schimb are influenta si asupra timbrului.

 

Neavand un sound "legendar " si nici n-au devenit chitare legendare in ultimi 20 de ani sufera doar o recosmetizare , poate prinde la tineri care inca nu au vazut.Plus internetul cu posibilitati noi de reclama.

Since I am in the business of making headless basses, I'll start with the story of the Fender headless bass, which was developed by Gene Fields in 1975.I got to know Gene during my years in the R&D department.

 

Gene was with Fender research and development for 23 years!Some of his designs include the P.S. 210K keyless pedal guitar, the Starcaster thinline hollowbody guitar, and the second generation Marauder guitar.

...

Two years later, the company was purchased by the Fred Gretsch company, and rather than relocate again, Gene formed GFI Musical Products in Arlington, Texas, building high-quality pedal steel guitars.

 

A few years ago, I went to the Arlington Fall Nationals guitar show and bumped into Gene.We had not seen each other for 20 years, so we grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down for a talk.As I told Gene about my company and our "Headless" and Key Factor bass guitars, he said he had something interesting to show me.I was amazed when he produced a Fender headless bass prototype.I was surprised because I never knew a project like that was ever developed at Fender.I asked Gene to explain how this instrument came to be.Here is his story.

...

Gene was asked to research the cause of this problem and eliminate it if possible.He tried many things, including double truss rods, all-maple bodies, uncarved necks to make them stiffer, as well as a multitude of different strings.Finally, he made a solid aluminum neck.

 

All this research resulted in making the dead spot move to new areas of the neck.The Aluminum neck moved the dead spot up to the seventh fret.

 

This was the clue Gene was looking for, it told him the dead spot was a result of the resonant frequency of the neck.At this point, Gene attached a 11/2-pound C clamp to the head of a stock P-Bass neck as ballast, to dampen neck vibration.This had the effect of moving the dead spot down in frequency and almost disappearing.

 

Unfortunately, as most key-headed bass guitars are head-heavy to begin with, adding weight to the head was out of the question.An opposite approach was to lighten the head of the neck.Gene took another stock P-Bass neck and removed all strings but the first one.This moved the dead spot up in frequency but did not eliminate it.Then Gene installed the first string in the fourth string position, removed the other three keys and began sawing off the head 1" at a time.He found that each time additional weight was removed from the head of the neck, the dead spot would move up in frequency.Then, Gene removed the last key, cut all but 1" of the head off and drilled a hole for the ball end of the string.

...

Eventually, Fender gave the bass to Gene, and it is still in his possession.

...

I'd like to thank Gene Fields for sharing his story with us.

am tot ascultat Allan Holdsworth in ultima vreme si uneori suna demential. nu neaparat a chitara, mai degraba pian electric dar oricum, e superb.

 

or fi urate dar suna deosebit... deci daca s-ar pune problema, mi-as lua una :)

 

suna superb si ele, dar Allan are trucurile lui de a face orice ghitara sa nu sune a ghitara :) , he's the man!
