    6:28 the Ibanez and DiMarzio combination has a specific bark within the mid-range when using mid or high gain tones. It's great, I've been loving it for about 25 years.

    I am actually really excited for the new iceman’s because I’ve always wanted an iceman, but not sometime super heavy looking. I’m not a big metal player so if I ever get the money I’m going for that violin burst

    • @stoneysdead689
      @stoneysdead689 Před 5 měsíci +1

      I get your concern- I play a 335 and we do some pretty heavy stuff- you should see ppl's faces when you're ripping a hot lead on a semi hollow guitar- and it sounds good. Ppl forget- Alex Lifson used one with Rush- they rock. Well- he had a Gibson- the real 335- but they're super similar.

  • @CasaDeBarbaYBurro
    @CasaDeBarbaYBurro Před 5 měsíci +16

    I LOVE my IC400. I usually prefer med to thick necks, but the neck on it is thinner and wider -and plays amazing. It balances well and looks killer in black. I’d love to refinish it like J Yuenger’s, but for now it’s collecting stickers and rocking Monty’s Fully Monty pups. Glad to see them back!!

    • @brandonjackson5865
      @brandonjackson5865 Před 5 měsíci +2

      I had an IC300, but I always wanted an IC400, of course I really wanted the J Iceman but the IC400 was attainable at least, can’t find them used in decent shape for a realistic price anymore, but they don’t make them like they used to huh ?

  • @BillyTheKidsGhost
    @BillyTheKidsGhost Před 5 měsíci +2

    Using wood stain and sharpy can make your fretboard look darker. But it's not as easy as it sounds. You can also use steel wool dissolved in vinegar but that only works on some types of wood. Amaranth is NOT one of those types of wood. I did this on my HB-35, It looks like dark rosewood now, very happy.

  • @lueyteledeluxe7457
    @lueyteledeluxe7457 Před 5 měsíci

    I always covet Ibanez basses!
    My Dad plays an Ibanez Musician (Top line Japanese neck thru walnut/maple/gold hardware) he bought new in 1983.), and so have always wished for a guitar just like it.
    I always see the basses Ibanez puts out every year and think...dayum! Make guitars like that! Just like that!
    The SR body shape, not to mention perfect headstock (for straight string pull thru)...but the body...that rounded, sci fi looking globule of liquid metal...!
    I have always loved how Fender does rounded edges. I don't see the craze about all angular edges most other guitars do. A Joe Satriani Sig has it...
    But the SR is like an amalgamation of a PRS, a Strat, a Joe Sat, and a Petrucci Majesty...
    And in Blue Chameleon, with angled Fluence Modems?? C'mon! Let's gooo! 15:05
    Do that with guitar scale length...so the hardware pushed up...but otherwise the same...or slightly shortened. Thru neck, and I'd sell all my guitars, and buy 3 of them! And play nothin' else!!
    (Ok, that last part is alie🤥! But I'd def buy one!☝️😊)

  • @DrewMurphyRules
    @DrewMurphyRules Před 5 měsíci +3

    ESP needs to start doing what Ibanez does with their basses. At least as far as options go. I've been an ESP artist for years and the bass options are always super limited compared to their guitars.

    With the Ibanez first original design thing, the iceman wasn't their first original design.
    The AR or Artist series (ar wasn't the model name yet) was actually their first.
    It's like a double cut away Les Paul with a modified headstock design.

  • @caiusmadison2996
    @caiusmadison2996 Před 4 měsíci

    The Dimarzio hype, is that they where perfect when paired with Marshall, the premier amplifiers for rock at the time. They also work well with Mesa/Boogie stuff, adding to the snarl that is possible when using those rigs. They where meant to supplant the old man sound of Seymour Duncan pickups, which are weaker usually than a Dimarzio variant. Ive always prefered Dimarzio over Duncan, and a side by side of both Super Distortions, is a game changer. You'll swear off Duncan immediately in this case, they simply arent on par.

  • @crazyfurcow
    @crazyfurcow Před 5 měsíci

    Putting in my two cents on the edge zero II trem: I had an RG with that bridge and it was decently stable for tuning, but every damn time I changed strings the G string would pop out of the saddle. Also the head of the hex screws that lock down the saddles for intonation were slightly bigger than the intended hex key, so they would strip pretty easily if the hex screw got stuck too tight (which happened with mine from the factory. Hated it with a passion and sold the guitar

    As an Ibanez fan (mostly a fan of the RG series) I feel like there's so much potential for the Iceman shape. I'd like to see the Iceman with 24 frets, a wizard neck, and an edge tremolo. Maybe also with more modern options like 7 string variants or sustainiac pickups...

    Even though the entry levels have the cheaper Floyd's....Ibanez's cheaper versions really do hold up well, I have top shelf Floyd's and a couple of cheap Ibanez one's....I've never had issues with either.👍🤘

    Budget IC guitars I think can absolutely blow away a LesPaul affecionado! Imagine basically the same thing in a smaller lighter package but with the same great feel.
    P.S. Add a neck dive though :D

    I see what you're doing with the background music, its just your version of the split screen subway surfers but for gearheads, isnt it.

    I was hoping they’ll release a Iceman Iron Label in 6 strings

    Another thing to add about the Icemen: They come with Ibanez's Super 80 pickups, aka "Flying Fingers". This is notable because, while a lot of Ibanez-branded pickups are "passable" at best, the Super 80s were hugely popular back then as Ibanez's answer to things like Gibson Dirty Fingers and Dimarzio Super Distortion...something that allegedly stands on par with them!
    I have not played Super 80s yet so cant vouch, but given the affordable price on these Icemen I might soon...

      Ohhh I didn’t know they were highly-regarded as “Flying Fingers”! I glossed over them because the Ibanez pickups I’ve tried in mid-level RGs were as you said; extremely OK lol. Thank you for teaching me something today

    When will they make a budget talman? So sick of superstrats, but i'd happily buy an affordable talman. With tele or strat pickups.

    one thing that always bothers me with the budget Ibanez's (specifically the RG's) is the black/unmatched headstocks and the heavy use of regular ass dot inlays. those two reasons are the main reasons i have gotten an Ibanez yet. PLEASE IBANEZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST PAINT THE HEADSTOCKS THE SAME AS THE BODY AND GET SLIGHTLY MORE CREATIVE WITH THE INLAYS.
