#washburn #nunobettencourt #n4 - Hudba
You don’t get enough credit for just what an amazing player you are! You have heart behind those chops brother! 🤘😊
Oh thanks man! Much appreciated 🙏.
Euge is a killer player I hope someday he starts his own band man with 80s Halford on vocals!!!!!!!
I agree… always blown away by his playing.
The prize for the most Nuno licks in a composition that isnt by Nuno goes to you....
Great player though
Yes every riff is a classic 80 90s Rush Of blood .
Writes hooks effortlessly.
Ohhhh and so fukn accurate ear.
I remember playing in hard rock bands back in the late 80s and early 90s and wishing that I could afford an ADA! It is great to see it here and sounding so good!
Man, I really enjoy your videos, you always give so much knowledge in an understandable way!! keep up the excellent work.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
Ha Euge, Kerry in Houston here. The main thing I want to say is that I am very happy to see you and your team got back safely from Japan. You never know when you get on a plane what might happen. It's amazing to me how you can play just like all these other professional guitarist. In the style of Nuno, Zack, Dime...... obviously you're a pro too but you are amazing man. Ya, that guitar sounds great. You just smoked the frets. Welcome home, can't wait to see your next tour. Take care, all the best to you and yours.
Thanks man!
Man !!! Now you have all my respect ✊ this is my favorite guitar ever 😊
Great review !
Wow, thanks!
Always loved those guitars!! Great find Euge!!!
Me too! Thanks!
Great playing and guitar Euge! Always wanted to get an N4 and now going to definitely seek one out!
Thanks!
Awesome score man!!
great riffing!
Thanks!
Euge kicking butt with a new toy!!! Sounds amazing dude!
Thanks man!
This video is how I discovered your channel. I immediately went to the Bill and Becky L500XL upgrade video. Both are excellent watches! The Washburn N4 is my favorite guitar. The Washburn N2 is my second favorite guitar, primarily for their project value. I love how they feel, play and look. I have a few of each in different woods with different pickups, hardware, string gauge, tunings, etc...I'm always tinkering, experimenting and customizing them. These guitars are more versatile than CZcams would have you believe. It seems that most are focused on Nuno covers, tone and style. You touched on that versatility ever so slightly and I would love to hear you play your music on a N4 with your tone and style.
I've been listening to your solo stuff, Cyhra and Red Wolf; it's all killer music! It would be super cool to hear you play your music on my favorite guitar!
So, why haven't you made more videos with is badass guitar?
Just watched the Sonicake and Sennheiser videos with the N4. I learned a lot from your productions. Thank you.
Stellar Guitar Euge. I always loved that reverse headstock and the logo on top running in line with the low E string… killer
I agree 👌😎.
I bet going to Ishibashi was a great adventure! Congrats on the guitar. Great vid :)
It was! Thanks!
Excellent : I’m going to buy a relic n4 made in Japan from 1993 . This video is really helpful and clarify the history behind the instrument .
Glad I could help! Thanks!
Incredible playing!!!!
Thanks man! 🙏
YES! what a beauty 🤘🏻👏🏻 Keep on Riffin 🔥
Thanks! Will do! 🕺🤟
Thanks for the lesson and killer song! Think I'm going to pull out the MP1 and play some guitar now.
Thanks! That’s the way 🤟😎.
Nuno is an amazing player great stuff man!
Yeah! Thanks!
Awesome guitar and playing!
Thanks!
Awesome job Euge! Nuno is in my top 3 of best guitarists of all time. You are up there on that list too brother! Great guitar and Nuno like signal chain.
Wow, thanks!
Japanese guitars... always feel and sound amazing... congrats for the purchase and thank you for the video and the music! cheers
Indeed 👌. Thanks!
Yes, very Nuno. I love it. Been looking for an N4 myself. I may build one;)
👌🎼
_Washburn used to make such beautiful guitars. This is no acception. 🏆🎸 It sounds great too! Sweet demo Eugene!_
Many thanks!!
I used to have a circa '90 Washburn classical wasn't that damn guitar killer sounding it wasn't till yrs later after playing a few others that I regretted trading it🥵🥵 traded it for an 80's bolt on neck V with superDs in it the superD in the neck was killer
Hi Eauge another killer tune !!! Rivaling the 80s greats !!!🤟🤟
Thanks man!
@@EugeValovirta230V PS ..Saturday I saw AHL Rochester Americans (Sabres ) vs Belleville Senators (Ottawa)
What do you think KHL or AHL which one is better ???!
Cool! Anything that has to do with that old KGB terrorist from Finland’s eastern border is s^%#t.
@@EugeValovirta230V hhhhhhhhha 👍👍
Love the Nunoisms (yeah that’s a word now) awesome guitar Euge
😁👌.
Totally Nuno inspired!!!!!!!! I freaking loved it!!!!!!
Glad to hear! Thanks!
I have an early 1980's Washburn Falcon. I love it.
Cool!
Holy moley, great choice! I have a N3 (Korean made, precursor to the NX6) with a rosewood fretboard that I upgraded to N4 pickups, original Floyd, & stainless steel frets. Prices are nuts on real N4s right now, would love to grab one or a Padauk someday though!
Cool man! Yeah those Padauk ones are really cool too 👌.
Love that original song! It's has a serious
Edge to it. Rocks Hard! 😎
Thanks!
Pepita is back :) and your videos too :)
Yes indeed 😎👌
I was gonna ask you to make a "In the style of Nuno" video, but luckily I checked your backlog just now, and it turns out you have already made one! I dunno why the CZcams algorithm has never showed it to me before... I'm gonna head to that video right now lol ->
🤟👌😎
i just take a N2 and is awesome ... nice take man !!!
Cool man! Thanks!
Nuno still uses the ratt.. I had one and tube s ts9 but the BOSS SD1 is my favorite of them all. 🤘🤘
Good.
Euge goes funky😀
😎🕺
The rails are useful for those who hit strings hard, because of reading more amplitude. But it has to be fender wide range tall, because of not reading half of 1 and 6 strings.
Their biggest and only drawback.
Guaranteed that N4 is saying to itself... "Finally someone knows how to use what I've got". . Great to see it go to an awesome home. 🤘🍻
😎🙏🕺
I swear to God I was thinking the same thing!!!
Getting my N4 TOMORROW. 💥💥
Cool!
Great guitar Euge. I have an early Davies n4 lefty myself.
Very cool!
That's the first guitar I ever played in a guitar store in 1992. Almost bought it. I think the price brand new was $1000 or $1100 at the time. Ended up getting an Ibanez 540SLTD instead. I still have the Ibanez.
🤟👌
Auguri! Ottima scelta!
Thanks!
Luv the N4 still expensive in Australia,nice find mate!
Thanks!
Dude! You do Nuno very well!
Thanks!
Wow that an Awesome GTR
🤟👌
Love Nuno! Man, happy for you with this find. First thing that caught me with you holding the guitar is wow, it looks so small! I know you're a strapping young lad of a viking but man, it looks like one of Eddies "Little Guitars" in your hands haha...To be fair, I met Nuno and he ain't a big guy ;)
Totally agree! He is a slight guy and I recall him saying in interviews at the time he had it made about 7/8 size body wise.
Thanks! Yeah I’m about 6.3 feet and this one is a bit smaller like the usual strat shape so there you go 😎.
Sounds pretty Nunoish, good job.
😎🙏🤟
Sick sick guitar! The flutter is one of those x factors that only the german ofr/german schaller floyds to consistently well. I have a couple of 1000s that do it as well, but they seem more like the exception than the norm. What scale length is this one Euge?
Yeah! I agree. It’s the standard strat 25-1/2 scale.
Sick 🪓 Euge! And love the Metallica shirt 🤘🏼
Thanks!
Nuno is godlike! I’m so bummed cause I kinda slept on extreme at the time. This guitar is so cool just so utilitarian only what you need and nothing more very cool!
Indeed 👌.
Fantastic playing! And an absolutely outst find! I've been trying to get one for over 25 years and no luck, I'm not paying 6-7K for one lol. I have 3 guitars with Floyd Rose tremolos and all have the largest Brass big block that they can fit in them, and all have Titanium saddle blocks and screws. What a difference in reliability and note clarity. Definitely worth the price, and it's reversible mods that last the life of the guitar, can't go wrong with Fu-tone stuff.
Thanks! Cool man!
Kick Ass!! Great Piece. I think my favorite Nuno solo is the one from "Get the Funk Out". Great song overall
Thanks! Awesome solo and song!
Killer, I had an original Davies many many years ago and like a fool I sold it not long after. Just got an N4 Authentic about a month ago and it is my main player at the moment.
Nice! 🤟
I knew you would not come back from JAPAN empty handed! 😄
Nice find! The N4 is your style. Now show us what else you got from Japan! 😁
Yeah! 😁
I never saw you play with such an elegance. You might have find your twin in this instrument.
Thanks!
Totally underrated guitars for sure. I'm surprised you didn't demo the coil split for the spanky tones, cleans and funly Nuno parts. Unless someone changed out the push/pull pot ?
This doesn’t have one and not the other early N4s I’ve tried but apparently some does 😎.
hahah dude!
I have an N4 mine sounds very very trebly sounding
i hope you got that heavy duty travel case with it?
i bought mine about 10 years ago
saw it on a poster when i was a kid and always wanted one
Awesome tune man
a hug from me to you dude!!!!
Yeah they have lots of bite 🤟😎. Thanks!
Hi Euge, I‘ve just bought a vintage N4…!!!!!
Nice!!
How to play like Nuno, without playing Nuno… Sounds great… I have an N2 from the late 80’s in the loft…. Just off to get it 😉
😎🕺
I didn't know they made the N2 in the late 80's
Pretty sure I was watching that guitar on Reverb!
🤟
Realized looking at the headstock and your removed neck this thing has no truss rod adjustment? What is the relief on it like, Euge?
There’s a trus rod. I needed to tighten it quite a bit since I use a bit heavier strings than the previous owner 😎💪.
By the way I have several Washburns just got my A15V back from my tech loaded with EMG SA's and it sounds killer!!! Pink with black binding!! These guitars are sleepers and can be found at great prices! Get SUM!!!
Cool!
I honestly wasn’t aware that they were made in Japan either. But they look and sound great. And when you said they were made by your favourite manufacturer…….Tokai it started to make sense 😉🤘
👌😎🤟
Nice playing! What are your general thoughts on bill lawrence l500 and l500xl pickups?
Thanks! I’ll do a video about the matter in the near future 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Very cool!
Sometime around 98 I had a N2. (Sadly I have no pictures of it because in those ancient times there were no mobile phones around yet.) I remember it as a total crap of a guitar: crappy floyd rose, action cannot be lowered… the only thing I really liked was the L500 pickup. Got rid of it soon.
Of course with the N4 is whole different story.
Nice demo,Euge!
Thanks!
Do u know what year ur N2 was
Wow congrats on that guitar! I'm jealous. U used to own a '97 N4 and it wasn't nearly as good as the old ones and i eventually got rid of it. One day I'll get an old one.
Thanks!
Check out how close the bridge humbucker is to the tremolo. They're almost touching. I've never seen a guitar with the bridge pickup set that close to the bridge. I wonder if that's part of the reason the bridge pickup has such a clear sound.
A lot of Floyd or floyd type equipped guitars look like that. What you're missing is that the saddles and so the break point of the strings is a bit further back from the visible edge of the assembly than say on a strat traditional unit. It's probably c20 to 25mm saddle to first pole piece row (or in this case blade).. It's all in Euge's fingers! 🤘
One can adjust the height of the pickups on any guitar according to taste 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Hey Euge, I didn't mean the pickup height, I mean the pickup ring itself is mounted so close to the floyd that it's almost touching it. Most guitars have little space between the bridge and bridge pickup. The Nuno guitar doesn't seem to have that gap.
Ah I see 😎. There’s a gap but a bit smaller one than on most guitars like this (Strat / Floyd etc.)
Nuno Bettencourt is of Portuguese descent :)
👌😎
Nuno is portoguese, naturalized american
🔥🔥🎸🎸
🤟🔥🕺
Could you compare ADA MP1 to Nembrini MP1 Pro plugin?
Will add to my to do - list 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thank you.
Hey man can you tell me if that SIR load box sound as good as st rock ? For using impulse responses.?
I have no idea about that.
@@EugeValovirta230V what? You own both so do they play the same impulse with equal sound quality? I know one plus of the st. Rock is that you dont need a cab attached but other than that does the sir sound better to you?
Oh you must mean Suhr 😎. I was like what the hell you’re talking about 😁.
You don’t need a cab attached with the Suhr either ’cos that’s the whole idea with reactive loads. I’ve been using only my real cabs mic’d for quite a while but as far as I remember they both do the job really well 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V oh im sorry there so many names im sorry i was confusing
Yup ,, All you great guitarist are actually not from planet earth ,, you guys/girls were really just put on this planet from another galaxy to show that we are just learning what can really be achieved by watching youtube videos ,,, lol !!!
😎🕺🤟
I hope you get to try a Steve Stevens model Washburn
Would be cool indeed 👌.
The body looks tiny on it. Is it quite a bit smaller than a regular Strat or even a Dinky ?
Never mind watch the whole video and he shows it compared to an EVH stripe . I’d never noticed the Nuno N series to be that much smaller I guess it’s really smaller horn to horn and through the waist it’s compact. I don’t think Euge is a small man either probably close to 6 ft tall I’d guess.
👌. 6.3
Love your opinions but can I add two cents worth.the pick-ups in the N1 has 723 ? I'm not changing it out and have the bill Lawrence. If it ain't broken 😂 you know the rest hahah
Euge scorching the Risen Sun Axe.
Bro, you just flat out made that stick & a plank, sound a LOT louder than it looked!
I want the Padouk model. 👍🦡🥃
Right on! 😎🤟
Verry nice indeed Euge Bettencourt ....small guitar for a giant like you! Agressive bite and sound. So it is a Tokai 😂😂👍
Thanks! Yep 😎.
Yeah!🤘i am considering to buy a N4. The question is is a usa guitar worth the extra money over a Japan guitar?
Cool! The 90s Japanese are made based on the original Stephens guitars, like Nuno’s personal ones, so if you want the original go for a Japan made. If not, then the current USA made. Both are good but I prefer the originals a bit more; thicker neck etc.
@@EugeValovirta230V thank you for this information👍
@@EugeValovirta230V i ordered a Japan 90s n4 at ishibashi store 😊
Cool! That’s where I bought mine in January when we were touring there with Cyhra 👌.
I recieved the guitar, its great ❤
13:13 LMFAO! The superb quality gave it away as not Made in the USA :) Of course, Europe actually cared and enforced the appropriate "Made in" label and punished Washburn accordingly, meanwhile in America that's just standard business to lie to your customers and make $$$$.
😁👌. Indeed.
Onko tiedossa mitään keikkaa Stadissa päin?
Ei taida olla tällä hetkellä, mutta mä en ole noista niin perillä muutenkaan. Managementti aina ilmoilee sit kun pitäis alkaa valmistautumaan lähtöön. Mä vaan soitan 😎.
Great song...definitely in the Nuno style. I usually love all your original stuff, but the drums you have on this one are WAY too busy. Should be a more standard beat most of the time. There are fills thru the entire song and it is very distracting...just my two cents. Great playing on it.
Thanks!
I asked for Keith Moon style craziness and I got Mike Tempesta doing Keith Moon craziness 😎. If I’d do a real production with the song I’d probably wanted a bit less Keith Moon but this was just a quick demo and I actually like it a lot. Really fun to play on top of that. Gotta get some action 🕺🔥🤟.
Great Riff!!! The drums are to busy, tone them down a bit in the verse then let them go crazy during the solo. That riff is solid!!!
Thanks! Keith Moon came from the other side and who am I to say no to him 😁.
Are you totally sure thats a mij n4? Usually they had string trees correct me if im wrong
Yes I bought this from Osaka, Japan in January ’23, while on tour with my band, with all the paper work etc.
Eugeno Bettencourt!
😎🕺🎼
I love Nuno, he's one of my fav guitar players ever... but I can't get used to his Washburn super strats, they're ugly af lol
That bridge pickup touching the bridge and the bottom cutway with the toggle switch there are ridiculously horrendous.
Can’t argue with personal prefences 😎.
Problem w that guitar is the size. It looks built for little kid. JMO. Thanks for reviewing.
Yeah it’s a bit smaller than usually. Especially to/with me since I’m not the smallest kid on the block 😎.
headstock doesnt look long enough. the real ones are comically long, like a washburn bill board, not the man, the thing!
At least compared to the USA made ones, they had in the shop when I bought this, they were the same. But in general these Japan mades are the only ones identical to the original Stephen Davies guitars he personally made back in the day.
Hey are not EMGs yet still your pinch harmonics really jump out....what's the secret?
Gear has nothing to do with pinches, it’s a technique: czcams.com/video/6KU-PuOoDK0/video.html
@@EugeValovirta230V Yes I have it down dunno if is more gain I need to use or drop the sensitivity on the noise gate. ..
I’d say practise, practise and practise ’cos it sounds (pun intended) you don’t have it down 😎.
Am I the only one who is not a fan of Nuno? I've just never liked his playing...
Probably 😁
@@EugeValovirta230V he's a good guitar player .. I've just never heard any of his music that got me involved with his playing.
I’d start with Extreme’s Pornograffiti & III Sides… albums. Great songs and great playing. At least IMO 😎.
@@EugeValovirta230V I meant I've heard his songs... Just none of them got me interested in him as a player.
Ok 🤟
I learned your 5150 stealth video riff its pretty awesome.
Thanks!
@@EugeValovirta230V your welcome
Can I ask something stupid maybe? Bringing aguitar back to EU from Japan,do you pay something extra in customs for importing it?
Not if one just acts like it’s one of his touring guitars. Which it basically is; I just played it in hotel rooms and the ESPs on shows 🤟😎.
It looks like a toy on him. Nuno is a little fella.
😎👌
