- 2017 Epiphone Joe Bonamassa Sigature Firebird I through a 2016 64W Pure Tone Amp Offset and a 1971 Marshall 4x12 1960A with G12M-25 75Hz T1221 Pulsonic Greenbacks. Close mic Unidyne 548, room mic AKG C414BXLII omni at 10 feet.
That Rumble tone was spot on!
+John Doe Thanks, can't think of a more classic riff than that one :-)
Sitting here with coffee listening to Johan playing is a perfect afternoon break.
+The ElectricHobo Thanks my friend! :-)
You can really hear the gold in the tone, it has a very gold sound
+Isaac Ord It does indeed :-)
The timbre of the guitars and amps in your videos is simply amazing.
+ZblockWoW Thanks my friend, that's really good to hear!
These are great Firebird reissues, I picked up the Tobacco burst version and was so impressed with it I went back and got the Gold one too!
Same here.. only I got the gold one first!
That's the unmistakable Johnny Winter sound who used a lot of different Firebirds! Great demo, fabulous sound!
Haha! You are always trying to make a new intro for every clip, nice climbing :)
+Alex T I actually fell down in an embarrassing manner right before the shot ;-)
That "in-the-tree" opening intro was hysterical! My first thought was, boy I hope he doesn't fall out of that tree! Hopefully you didn't hurt anything more than your pride! Great playing and review as always. That guitar is a beast. I bought a Diamond Hailfire because I loved the look of that one, but wanted a cool transparent finish (Room of Tears finish). You still sound like you no matter what you play. That Pure Tone Off-Set never ceases to amaze me. So many tones out of just 1 pickup is killer too!
Climbing a tree is one way to get "high". Lol. I just got me a Joe B Firebird and I love it. Good one
man, good thing you didn't break your arm before the video!
Sounds amazing. Joe knows his Gibsons.
+CIRCLE OF TONE Your friend for guitar tone Thanks, he does indeed
Awesome accent Johan, never try to wash it off like everyone else in this country
+Viktor Olsson Thanks Viktor, yeah many of our countrymen are anxious about this for some reason :-)
Like your style of playing some of it reminds me of early Iommi
+Magic Forest Thanks! That's the ultimate compliment
That is also what I thought before reading comments. Very much sound like that
+BWJOHN04 Thanks! I love his tone
@@JohanSegeborn You have a great sound indeed!!! Sabbathy-in-a-bluesy-way!!! :D
You are doing some of the finest sounding demos on youtube dude keep it up
+John Morrison Thanks John, I'm really to hear that!
I was finally able to find one of these firebirds that was 100% Functional as far as tone and volume knobs working!! And I have to say this guitar when you find the right one is "AMAZING"!!!..... from the finish to sound. Thank you Johan once again for your videos and sharing your passion for Music!!!
+41doc Thanks, great to hear that!
You sir, are an excellent Guitar player.
+arsenalfanrichi Thanks my friend :-)
That Firebird is sweet. The tone chain is amazing. I also just love the Swedish countryside video that accompany your videos.
+pedraw Thanks my friend!
I must say not only are you very talented and have an ear for tone. But your photography skills are very good too!
+Matthew Enriquez Thanks, you make my day :-)
That crunch sound at 1:02 is amazing!
Only just come across this as I was just looking at one of these on offer locally and wanted to hear some sound samples. Search found this excellent play through. Some great tones from a one pick-up guitar - surprisingly versatile in your hands! Thanks.
I have the sunburst version of this guitar and absolutely love it as well. So many sounds are available with just the volume and tone control. It has better clarity than humbuckers but keeps the punch. For the price it's a steal.
What GREAT...GREAT tones you get out of that! I don't know Firebirds, but I have a couple of mini humbuckers in different guitars and they are severely underrated. I think they sound better clean than humbuckers and break up beautifully, never getting muddy. Minis are perfect for just about anything you can throw at them - rock, blues, country, and fab for jazz.
Love the "up the tree" intro, put a big smile on my face. Nice guitar sound too :)
+Jon Gill Thanks Jon! :-) That was indeed an adventurous photo shoot
YO Bonamassa!
+Alastair Tilley The correct Swedish pronunciation :-)
The one constant in most of your videos is.........vintage cabs,I think your onto something.awesome tone Johan!
+Rudi JURGENS Thanks Rudi! Yeah most of the tone comes from the speakers and cab! Cheers
I bought the Epiphone Bonamassa Signature Les Paul when it first came out with the hand-signed certificate...gave it to my son. It's a great guitar coming stock with U.S. Burstbuckers, long neck tenon, all solid wood with carved maple cap, baseball bat neck size/shape, upgrade hardware...as close as you could come to a 1959 Les Paul for $650. Thanks for the demo Johan!
I dig the stripped down minimalism of the Firebird I. That lonely little mini-humbucker
looks so lost and alone in that vast sea of wood. I like it.
Now that’s how you play a Firebird, awesome guitar and the usual awesome playing.
This is my fav video you've done, absolutely epic range of tones that sound so good!
+Portei Thanks man!
Nice to see that you've branched out.
This is TONE!
Joe Bonamassa is actually giving one of these away on a competition on his website. Worldwide entries accepted and contest open until May 17th.
From memory I'm pretty sure that this has a Gibson mini-humbucker in it, but as always you make it sound vintage and Gibson.
+TimB4305 Thanks :-) yeah it's a mini
Man I really need one of these. I love the versatility and simplicity of single pickup guitars. My lp Jr was my first love, I think that explains it
My favorite guitar tech here in Dallas just got one of these JB Epi Firebirds about a month ago. He let me play it, and holy sh$!, it played and sounded great. Epiphone did this one right. Thanks for sharing, Johan!
Johan, it's a pleasure to listen to your playing. And "Rumble"!
Still although I love the look of the guitar and a great overdrive/semi-overdrive, but I'm a sucker for neck pickup. Can't live without one. But this guitar looks so sexy! :)
+Peter Osipov Thanks Peter, yeah this may be the most beautiful guitar ever. I love the refinished black one Paul Stanley had in the mid 1970s and Claptons Firebird I at Albert Hall. Cheers
Pure tone amp attacks again, setup sounding good !
+WilliamTanaka Yeah, I can't get enough of that amp
I love the random position for the intro. I'm excited for the next one. Great playing!
Wow, amazing intro
+Minh Bear Thanks, great to hear that!
massive sound!
Johan, you make every guitar sound awesome. stop it lol
+The Fabulous Master Bats ;-) sorry about that
nah, it's cool haha!! keep on doin' that thang you do!
+The Fabulous Master Bats Thanks man
I like the different locations for the intro bits of the videos. This one up in the tree was funny. Also thank you for playing Rumble. Sounded very good.
+BWJOHN04 Thanks, glad to hear that! :-)
Awesome video, as always. Great playing and tone Johan. Like many people here, I've got a real soft spot for the Firebird 1. I'd really consider buying one of these....
+Jeremy Johnston Yeah, you won't be disappointed. Cheers
That was awesome. My favourite video of yours.
+SecularUnderpants Thanks, great to hear that!
I love all your videos for the scenery as much as the tones! Forgive me, but when this video started I heard myself saying, "Here's a rare site: It is the Bare Crowned Marshall Thrasher out his natural habitat."
Hahaha! ;-) Glad you like the sceneries my friend
I have that same Firebird in sunburst. It sounds amazing and is so easy to play. I expected a lot and it completely blew me away.
+ReggieDunlop Yeah, I like it when a signature model actually adds something to the standard models.
holy sh.t that tune at 1:30. Its one of the most favorite songs of jimmy page. I first heard it at his documentairy.
u nailed that sound.
+Wesley ACDCRythms Thanks Wesley :-)
Johan Segeborn the only thing u missed was the flanger/chorus effect
*Link Wray "Rumble" :p
Wesley ACDCRythms The effects used in rumble are really just the amps built in tremolo and some literal stabs to the speaker.
No stabs in the speakers necessary, any SG with an early tube amp can do that! I don't even think they did that, but the song is about gang war, so you had to get something with a knife into the story!
Great demo, Joe!….oops, I mean Johan! You coaxed many different and useful tones out of this simple guitar. (and if my wife yells at me for buying yet another electric, I will put the blame partially on you…) 😜 I appreciate how you keep on “delivering the goods”!
Wow really nice tone , it does clarity and fuzz very well.
Johan you are top knoch my friend. love the epi and that amp. keep it up👍
+metaltheater123 Thanks my friend! :-)
great looking and great sounding guitar. Firebirds are cool...
Wow! The Link Wray setting sounds really authentic!
+Seb Kay Thanks Seb!
Sounds like a beast! Awesome playing
+Isaac Johnson Thanks man :-)
Pure organic tone..fuck yeah!!.
HOLY SMOKES, that sounds GREAT. THANKS JOHAN!!
Love the tones on this video. Some of my favorites in your series.
Love the tree shot...what a great guitar! My birthday's in 2 weeks, I'll have to keep playing this video, maybe my wife will get the hint!
Man you get that thing going from clean to really gnarly.. Sounds really great.
Super demo!!
you are the best! the best intro ever!
man, when you started playin Rumble, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. Nice demo Johnny, that sounded amazing
Love this guitar ...
Great Sound!
+juppheidi Thanks! :-)
Haaaahahahaha! Aloha Johan! Up in a tree this time!? Nice playing as always Braddah….Mahalo nui loa for sharing as always!
your intros are fantastic
Thanks Johan.. your clips are always inspirational!!! Keep on rockin'!!!
Sounds just as cool as it looks! Great video, thanks!
Awesome LINK WRAY playing ! !! :-D
+motorrebell Thanks :-)
Absolutly! How did you get that sound?
Hey Johan, I just picked up the Tobacco version of this little monster!! WHAT AN AXE!!!!
My friend! you win the for entire day. an intro from a tree is exactly what we all needed to day + your usual amazing tone & playing Kudos!
The scenery in Sweden reminds me of Newfoundland in my home country of Canada. Oh, and that was great! People often knock Epiphone but they really do make some great quality instruments at affordable prices. You just demonstrated that :-)
Such a great demo, you made my spine chill a couple times with choice of songs;-)
Sounds impressive the nice playing helps..
Be careful up in that tree Johan - great demo as usual - well done !
Thanks! Love 'Birds!
+Blues Bengan Cheers Bengan!
YEAH!!
I really dig that guitar, it has been on my radar for some time, I may pick one up in sunburst
Clapton used one of these at Massey Hall with Cream
great playing, as always!
nice Link Wray too :D
+galactagog Thanks, good to hear that!
dynamic sound!
+jips123 Thanks!
This demo along with the recent p-90 / humbucker demo proves 64W Pure Tone Amp sounds good with all three pick-up types. I believe amp speaker combo to be greater influence on sound than guitar pickup combo. My all time favorite demo of yours so far has been Les Paul with humbuckers into 59 Bassman. I recall you played a Led Zep riff with that combo and I thought to myself Your playing actually sounded better than the recording. Keep up the good work always entertaining.
I was really close to buy that guitar this saturday when I visted Gothenburg and 4sound. But I went to have a look at Andreassons Musik and bought a PRS 245 instead. Just to have a backup to my Gibson Les Paul R8. But the JB Epi is a nice guitar.
DUDE! You always get an awesome tone.
sounds great!
Great tone!!
+Bricklinsv1970 Thanks! :-)
This Pure Tone Amp you are using is really good & raw sounding. What I'd like if you do some uni-vide comparison one day.
Hi Johan, paint it black like the guitar of Paul Stanley! great sound! like ever!!
+alberto zambaldo Thanks Alberto! Yeah black one is a classic guitar!
Epiphone does such a nice job nowadays. Very hard to distinguish. Nice job man.
FUCK. that blew tone blew my mind.
+maximilian warne Thanks!!
Great videos Johan Thank You!!! I'm glad you were able to get your hands on a good one, so far the ones I have played haven't been good!!.....
+41doc Thanks, strange that there is such a difference, this one was amazing
I love my Tokai Firebird to death. I don't know why people sleep on Firebird PUPs/mini-humbuckers, you can make them sound like either a tele or a Les Paul depending on how you eq it. Very versatile guitar.
The only thing I personally don`t like about this nice Firebird I is the price - you can almoast get a 2016 Gibson Firebird V for the it. But other then that, this guitar sounds just amazing. One pickup-equiped guitars have a certain tonal magic about them, it seems. I liked how you put some Link Wray in there - the crunch sound is just pure tastyness over the top \\m//
+JacknCocaine Thanks man! Maybe we can compare it too a Gibson later on, I think this one might sound better
You won't get this from Gibson unless it's a Custom Shop.
Accurate build specs & a true Firebird pickup. It's more Gibson than Gibson.
That outro was as great as the intro Johan.
Now that must really rumble!
+steve gaur Cheers Steve!
Badass! Thanks Johan!
I love Yo Bonamassa ;)
+Lars Sig Cheers :-)
Well, a used one came back to Musicians Friend and I got it! Just waiting for it to arrive!
+John Dial I Think you'll like it. Cheers
I do too! Oh, and really loved your video, keep em' coming!
I've got it now and I love it!
The very first notes reminded me of early Black Sabbath...
Very nice video...
I own the same Firebird...with a few mods...
I also own the Sunburst model with different mods...
what a great little ax :)
+DANTHETUBEMAN Cheers Dan!
Great looking review - top gun stuff
Great! Thanks a lot!
+Erik Vernarský Thanks Erik!
Love it mate
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO! Its johan in a tree talking to a camera. Love your style, Johan! :D
Great tone, you use it well.
Rumble onwards!
+Paul Simmons Thanks man!
Lol that intro!! Keep it coming Dude!!
You can do Black Sabbath all day with this toy. The sound is so good.
Great player man!
+Fed B Thanks :-)
The firebird pickup is the best kept secret in the guitar world.
This one did sound like the best of Humbuckers and single coils
Yo! Bonamassa signature!
+Bob Wang Cheers
