Ben oui, ca date d'il y a plus de 20, j'ai une petite excuse :) Mais j'inverse au refrain et le pont est different, ca vaut bien un demi...point pour l'effort ;)

Si je devais boire un verre à chaque fois que j'ai entendu ça, je serais alcoolique ;)

Merci beaucoup, ça fait plaisir. Takamines sonnent bien. Goldman joue sur des Takamines. A l'époque ou je l'ai achetée (presque 30ans) elles étaient super populaire en France. Je suis sûr que le fait qu'il en joue à contribué à la sélection, mais j'ai comparé avec d'autres. Au final c'était la Takamine ou une Seagull si je me souviens. La Takamine sonnait plus naturelle et avait plus de basses. Je l'ai toujours depuis tout ce temps et n'ai pas l'intention de la vendre, donc j'ai fait un bon choix. :)

@@olivierjezequel oui en plus tu as une 12 cordes aussi. Et le solo est très sympa! 👌

technically yes, but they are still quiet different, and mixed they do sound a lot more natural than my newly bought Martin. I compared it in a video and a short video summary if you want to ear. I did try some IR in the past but wasn't really blown away and prefer to eq it to fit the song. I think if you have a good acoustic, adding an IR on it is like trying to force it into something else. I am not saying there isn't good one that do lift it up. But to me that didn't really did it. I can always record with a mic if I want a more natural acoustic sound. I am happy how it sounds now, for the money invested the result was worth it.

@@olivierjezequel with an ir you can make and record your own, for free. Obviously a generic one doesn't reflect your pickups and your guitar top, and your mic pattern etc. It's also free to sand the guitar and stick the pickup on with crazy glue which would be a much better coupling.

It does sounds more natural than the Martin, but in fairness I changed the preamp for a recent one with a tube and also added a soundboard pickup. I just needed a 6 string so I could keep the takamine in 12. That doesn't mean I will not switch it back from time to time. I considered buying an other takamine but I wanted a different tone and that Martin plays more like an electric... the Takamine is definitely not going away ;)

Thanks a lot!

not sure, I bought that guitar I think around year 2000, a bit before a bit after not sure. So 24 years old is a good round guess. I don't remember if the corrosion is age or battery leak based, probably a bit of both.

Merci beaucoup mr Jezequel :) Vas-y guitare !!!!

Hi, I explain in the video (with my broken English ;) ) that I had corrosion in the preamp that keep breaking the sound. I cleaned it few times but it was still happening so I decided to replace it. I first wanted to replace with the same but realised I had plenty of choices. I am happy with the new one, it has more highs and is now easier to EQ in the mix.

I never encounter a hum issue with it. Maybe double check the connections first, if all is well plugged. Usually a bad grounding would hum when left alone but be quiet once you touch the strings (especially bare feet). Unless the preamp is faulty I don't see why it would hum. I don't remember if there is a ground on the pickup try to see if there is something that looks broken or unplugged. I didn't change my pickups and if they work, I don't you would need to. A common source of hum is the electric stuff on the same line or room that can interfere. The first questions that pop in my mind are : are you too close from your screen ? is there big light or hungry electric stuff around ? (fridge for exemple...). Try to unplug stuff one by one until the hum is gone, that's a good way to find out the source. You can try plug your amp/computer to a different wall socket if you have multiple sources... If nothing of that works, try using the guitar to someone else place/setup to see it the problem is still there, that will tell you for sure that the problem comes from the guitar. Maybe someone on the takamine Facebook group or other group would have other ideas how to solve it. I hope this is a bit of a help. Olivier

@@olivierjezequel okey just simply write me can pre amp be cause of hum noise ?????????? Thanks for reply

@@dhirenjazz8100 No I don't think.

Merci.

Merci ! je poste juste sur youtube pour l'instant :)

Merci !! Ca nous rajeuni pas ;)

Merci beacoup !!

No worries :)

Glad you enjoyed it

Merci. Ta version est tres bien, plus fidèle à l'originale. A l'époque ou j'ai enregistré celle-là je voulais faire simplement des videos en une seule prise... J'ai compliqué les choses un trop depuis :)

sorry

Playing only six strings on a twelve string? Trussrod maybe too strong/ too tight for just six strings?

@@kiekerjan666 possibly, I have often wondered that too. That guitar never had a setup in the 25 ish years I have had it. It is back in 12 at the moment. I need to have a go with the trussrode when I muster the courage. To be honnest it is still very stable and reliable, just a bit of buzzing that don't really occure when I just use it for struming, which it most of the time...

hehe, de rien ! ca prend du temps, je ferais les autres quand j'aurais le temps. Et il y aura des videos en Francais de temps en temps ;)

Salut ! Je pense que le piezo aurais un son plus naturel/moin aigu si tu le place plus bas ,c'est a dire dans la partie plus large de ta guitare.. et opposee de ou tu met ton bras pour jouer....🙂

@@STRUMMERBOY1975 Merci ! Quelqu'un m'a fait la meme remarque, J'ai essaye de le decoller mais ca a l'air bien accroche. J'ai pas voulu forcer. Je re-essayerai quand je changerai les cordes.

Funny you mention that :), I choose to add a soundboard transducer instead and just released a video about it. ruclips.net/video/1uNzPU0cwoI/видео.html

@@olivierjezequel i will check it out. The Takamine Triax is a rebranded LR Baggs soundhole humbucker that was designed to work specifically with the cool tube preamp, if you ever get the chance check it out, they really work extremely well together

I bough it from Thomann. I am UK based.

Thanks, you have nice videos ! I will listen more in details, cheers !

@@olivierjezequel Thank you so much friend I've subbed you❗❗😍😍👍👍

Thanks ! I am holding myself to buy a Revstar p90 for when I reach 100 subs haha. A humble goal :) I subbed you too, loved your "famous guitar solo" cover. @@crungechannel483

Merci. Pour la majoritée du morceau je me trouvais plus à l'aise à cette tonalitée, et avec le capo le son est un peu plus claquant.

You are very welcome

Excellent

thankx, @@runner_swt77

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks ! I am using LogicPro. I plug direct into a scarlett 2i2 and use helix native plugin to model amps and effects. But nowdays any daw and good modern modeler or amps with direct output should give you the same clarity.

Hi, I am not familiar with that model. I looked on the website and it seems that it will not fit, but you can dig a bit more to confirm. "The TK-40 and TP-4T preamps are both designed for use only in G Series model guitars and are not compatible with Pro Series Takamine guitars made in Japan." I found it there : www.takamine.com/pre-amps

Merci

Merci beaucoup ! Oui, simplement la grosse corde de Mi qui est baissée en Ré. Ca permet de faire un accord avec un simple doigt barré.

Hi, it is definitly longer and I now can see the wire plug in the sound hole, but on the other sides it fits like a glove. The preamp is still well hidden though, so in theory and with a bit diy it should be possible to hide the wire a bit better. My guitar is a big one, if yours is small, there could be a chance you would see the bottom of the preamp. Not sure how that changes from model to model. I haven't recorded much with it since but the little I did, I had a lot more range in to EQ. No regret changing it.

Merci, ça fait plaisir.

Thanks

So you like the warmth, and I tend to go toward it too. But the Graph-EX sounds very muddy in the test, almost no high end sparkles. I often ended up EQ quiet extremely that guitar on recordings. The CTP3 has too much highends, it kind off shocked me at first and it is definitly not pleasing. But lets not forget that I tested those on flat EQ, and I never leave the EQ flat, so they both can sound better than what i tested. But overall, I think the ctp3 has a lot more range than the GraphEX, so once dialled on a tone i like, it would be a lot easier to EQ on recordings... hopefully, I haven't used it yet. And with the cool tube on, I am hoping the sound to feel more natural like if I had a mic too. Fingers crossed :)

@@olivierjezequel oh yeah definitely you’ll get a much warm sound when the cool tube is on and yes your absolutely right, CTP has a lot of highs and isn’t really good, but once’s EQ properly you’ll have a guitar sounding super rich and warm, I’m excited for you, I got the CTB4 and a CTP2 on a 12 string, hopefully I get a good sound out of it, anyways great job on the video

Was your old pick up the Takamine Graph ex? I am asking because I am wondering if I could change my Graph-ex to the cool Tube?

Ok I just saw that it was. Thanks

@@maluma0221yea you can, they’re compatible

I may have damaged my phone speaker on that video, using it too loud :) I noticed some rumbling in the basses after. So be careful not pushing it too hard if you try.

No I don't. I googled it and found no info about that. Can you point me to a link or where that setting is ? thx

@@olivierjezequel click preset button/wheel, then go down to 08 templates, then scroll down to 06d and it will be there logic / garage band. there are quite a few different remotes, even one for fps games.

Merci Beaucoup, c'est gentil, ca fait plaisir ! On va dire que je ne fais pas beaucoup de promo de ma chaine non plus ;) C'est plus pour mon plaisir que la recherche de vues. Salam à tous les Marocains, j'ai vécu à Casa pendant 5 ans et n'ai jamais retrouvé d'aussi bons potes.
