2:46. Damn that’s some extreme precision to have temperamented frets. Imagine the amount of patience and skill it would take to design that, not to mention the routing on the fingerboard and the bending of the fretwire. It’s really cool though. If I ever get my hands on a guitar withtemperamented frets I’m gonna see how the bends come out.
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas Do you know if each individual fret is custom made for its position on the fretboard? Seems like there are a few to tight bends here and there to allow for regular fret wire to be bent into shape. Leveling and crowning must be bit of a procedure too...
@@BagusWibisono They use the Axe-Fx models sometimes, but for some rhythm parts they switched to the Fortin amp, which went into a Reactive Load box to take the amp's output signal down to line level, then they route that into the Axe-Fx and use the Axe's cab sims.
RIG RUNDOWN UPDATE: As of Oct 30th 2016 they are now using the Fortin Amplification custom Meshuggah Amp - (Single Channel 50-Watt, no effects loop, custom designed power transformers) (Ground-up custom built - turret board construction with point to point wiring - First used October 30th 2016 live show in Toronto).
Absolutely love the look of that first Stoneman guitar. Would love to have one at some point, but I'm sure I'm much too poor to afford it. Nice rundown and some really cool gear.
We did because before we filmed this updated episode, Kent showed us this video that someone made from the original RR back in 2013: ruclips.net/video/lMmsPRl-a_w/видео.html
Gotta love a guy who can take a joke, especially in metal. That's what I love about Meshuggah in general - they make the heaviest music but still are fun guys and don't take themselves too seriously.
Love this. Big guitarist get so finicky with their rigs...so many moving parts....the way they have their shit set up is exactly how I do. Everything on. Everything full blast. Call it a day. The best.
That Shure QLXD14 wireless system alone costs 1300 € (just one transmitter and one receiver) A single transmitter costs 440 €... Also you need a whole new set of receivers and transmitters with different frequencies for different countries, regarding the radio broadcast laws. THere are five different versions of the QLXD14. Oh and don't forget the extra batteries, they don't take normal AA / AAA batteries. These are made by Shure and cost 100 € a piece, with only 1450 mAh capacity
Premier Guitar Wow, I didn't expect you guys to respond so fast to be honest. Big fan of these, the Rig Rundowns are what got me into the channel since I'm a guitarist and bassist myself but I do agree. Hopefully they'd be up for it and do it for their fans
I just watched the Koloss one yesterday, this was released perfectly on time for me! Something was missing apart from the yeah yeahs, must be Rebecca Dirks!
These videos are awesome but I would love to see you do some stoner/sludge/postmetal bands like Bongripper, Ufomammut, Neurosis, Cult of Luna or Amenra...!
Bongripper would be sick. And asking questions to the guitarist about scale lengths and string gauge and tension and whatnot since they tune F standard.
Psyfonify I’ve seen Bongripper twice. White Burny Les Paul Custom with presumably 24 3/4” scale. Many amps, tons of volume. Don’t know about string gauges
One of the few of these I've seen where the guitar tech is a real nerd who's way outclassing the interviewer in knowledge. Usually the interviewer is the tech guy asking dorky questions to the rocker dude.
@@user-ix6qr5if5y I own a Dingwall. I still wanna try one of these guitars before I spend that kinda money. My first 8 string was a 28.6” scale Agile and it was pretty awful. I ended up using .008 gauge strings on it. For standard tuning yeah, pretty awful (I tune to drop E). It also had this atrocious C shaped neck. I’m sure this neck is light years better, but the tension was too much unless you’re tuning the whole thing down at least a 1/2 step like Meshuggah does. And again, if it’s not an issue after a while, why does Meshuggah gig with shorter scales these days?
@@blastbeatdown because as pros and endorsers they can ask Ibanez to shorten it by 2 millimeters and coat the thing in unicorn foreskin and Ibanez will do it.
@@blastbeatdown nah, they guys are in their 50s/60s, maybe one day the guitar felt a tad too heavy and since they can ask Ibanez for whatever they want they just went ahead and asked tom for shorter scales, dunno. Endorsers always have the weirdest custom stuff for the most obscure reasons if you watch other rig rundowns.
I love that Ibanez Stoneman....Frederik's new gutiar...it looks even better than the production model. I love it's black glossy finish with white binding all over it...sexy as hell
TheWoodish It is just a expression pedal that controll the delay time! Not to tap but kind of move it. He only uses it on solos, the rest of the time he just like to keep the beat on it. He almost never take his foot off it.
8:18 I love this interviewer! The way he hit ken the tech with his own “yea yea yea” had me dying haha every time ken said yea yea yea throughout the interview I was distracted lol 8:18
I kinda lost my shit when I was watching Meshuggah live, and during their set Dick came to the stage with this bass at 5:48. I thought they would’ve played Bleed. At that moment they didn’t, but they played it on the encore.
Garrett van de Gelder have u listen to crazy time signatures i know these guys are hard to listen but its really heavy groove style maybe dei would be a good album to check out
I don't get it. They take the direct Signal from the Speaker Out of Randal Heads and put them into the Loadboxes for the clean Tones, but they don't use the Clean Channel of the Randals?
Hermann Hase Out from the Randall, high gain channel, into the loadbox then to the AxeFx and out to the PA. Clean and solo sounds with effects from the AxeFx. It's a simple connection! The clean channel from the Randall is not used because limited sound options!

@@lovegruvberg4631 nah, perry likes to say sure after every info he receives
Ola Englund's gotta be pretty happy that a band like Meshuggah uses his signature amp.
pretty cool, Ola is good friends with Fredrik and Marten too.
Its because they were designed by Mike Fortin. I believe they now have signature amps from him.
the old version I guess, the nataS ruclips.net/video/Fxxdf2ibvgg/видео.html
swidish people all good friends
If you knew anything about Ola (our Swedish jesus) then you'd know that he thinks meshuggah are a shitty band (which is true ;)

That was actually pretty informative. I think the takeaway is simplicity and massive amounts of talent go a long way.

If I ever get my hands on a guitar withtemperamented frets I’m gonna see how the bends come out.
The thing is, when you bend, it feels like a regular guitar and it sounds regular too.
I don’t think it takes too much time or patience, its design is made with math equations and it’s cut on a CNC machine using that math
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas Do you know if each individual fret is custom made for its position on the fretboard? Seems like there are a few to tight bends here and there to allow for regular fret wire to be bent into shape. Leveling and crowning must be bit of a procedure too...
Look into the limitations on it too. Intonation on a fretted instrument will always be a compromise across the whole fretboard.
Two very interested, polite and respectful guys. Good job.
Kent is the best, you should do a Rig Rundown on that guy.
i wonder how he feels doing everyone's gear, not just frederik but Marten and Dick
it's quite a handful wouldn't you agree?
His swenglish is so stong, its almost starting to sound like regualr swedish

"I DONT CARE!"

Beng B I think I remember seeing Fredrik make a post about it on his fb page. I'd do anything to get my hands on one of those amps.

wicked frets on that second stoneman from Fredrik
"Gotcha" guy strikes again.
Now we know what inspired Jordan Peterson
28 inch scale length must feel crazy to play. I'm currently getting used to 27 and it feels a lot more different than i was expecting before i got it.
Wow, very cool set up and the guitars and bases look awesome. Great rig rundown!
"yeah yeah"
*points at camera*

I love this guy.
Hey, could you guys try to hit up Faith No More next time (hopefully) they go on tour? I would love to see Billy and Jon's rigs.
I assume the 29.4” scale is brutal after a while. Great for the studio, but interesting to note that they’re gigging with 28” and 27” guitars now

Meshuggah and Deftones are the only bands that can make 8 strings sound good to my ears!!
Zombie 8890 deftones??!you serious fucker

Ahhh. I see the "33" pedal prototype in there. I can't wait for mine to get here.
28" is cool and all, but a 34" 7 string is the way to go if you want double-dropped tuning to work well ;)
