      I wouldve scrapped the eq on the bass and instead add La Bella Beatle bass flatwounds (i have on my epi viola). For guitar pedals you could use a compressor and a tubescreamer-esque pedal to get some of the 1964-1966 recorded tones.

    1. The guitar he saw “George play in a photo” is the Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman. Looks spot on, minus minor details. John, George, and Paul all played Casinos so that would have been a safer bet.
    2. For basses you could have also went for a Squire VI, which George and John used on later tracks.
    3. In Taxman Paul actually played lead guitar on his Casino. Bass was played on a Fender VI if I remember correctly.
    4. Going the Gretsch/Hofner style route I was hoping you played more early beatles and clean tones. With the songs you picked to play, a Casino or any guitar with p90s would have been more spot on.
    Sounds like for The Beatles is so easy yet so difficult at the same time, because almost every instrument they ever played was so documented. That being said, on a budget, I believe you guys did a very good job!

      I'm pretty sure that Paul played just the solo on Taxman, not lead guitar, but I know for a fact he did play his Rickenbacker bass on taxman as whenever they used the Fender VI they had it very quiet in the mix plus it sounds like his ricky

    • @joshuawaldrop7979
      @joshuawaldrop7979 6 лет назад +29

      I would agree with you that the casino is no doubt a Beatles classic, but also looking at all of the guitars John and George were pretty well known for using (ES-335 style, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, strat, tele, just to name a few. ) I think something with filtertrons is the best way to get as far in each direction if you are limited to one guitar. If they do BY busting, I would love to see them split George and John and do them separate! We need to see a Rickenbacker on this channel!

    • @zdsminorz

    • @noakwesterberg

    Yack, I like that Gretsch (no really where do I get one) but a centre block with what I believe is higher gain Filtertron type pickups are not a great match for the Beatles. Not even a mention for the obvious Epiphone casino? however I would really like to add that a great addition would be the Strymon Deco pedal. It emulates a lot of what the Beatles where doing with studio effects. I think the cheapest Squire telecaster; the Strymon Deco and the Vox AC15 would make a better combo for the Beatles. Add the Casino and your gold. How about doing Dorje WBB

      @PaulHofreiter 6 лет назад +1

      The bass would also benefit from being full hollow. They have very cheap ones out there (the Douglas brand for example) but I doubt they sell any of the hollow knockoffs at Anderson’s. However a Casino should be there - mind boggling that they didn’t choose it.

    • @CharlesFreck

    • @andrewharper1609
      @andrewharper1609 5 лет назад

      The Vox amps were an important part of their sound. The 12 string Rickenbackers were important in their sound but you couldn't get one without busting the 1500 budget because they're over 1300 apiece. Although the Hofner is the iconic violin bass because of the McCartney association with it he did also use a Rickenbacker in later years. You can't do Love Me Do properly without a chromatic harmonica and you need an Ocarina for Strawberry Fields. What it comes down to is that the gear is important to their sound but you can get away with a lot if you just have two semi hollow/hollow body guitars.

    Pretty simple early days are Rickenbacker 325 and hofner 500/1 and later beatles you’d want a Rickenbacker 4001v63 and a Gibson cherry red ( or any type of red) les paul, or an epiphone casino in natural finish

    I've made maybe 3 mods to the Epiphone Viola I've used for over 10 years: (a) a Switchcraft output jack; (b) flatwound strings (nickel-steel or chromes, but not black nylon); (c) stiffer pickup springs to keep the pickups from wobbling about. I'll put mine up against all the Chinese-made Hofners but not against the $1200-1800 German ones because the Germans use better wood than the Chinese do. The main reasons I go around with an Epiphone Viola is that (a) it's light enough to play all night without back pain and (b) if it's stolen or smashed I can go out and buy another one without breaking the bank. Good reasons to consider the Viola before some superstar sticks his name on one.

      Paul has a signature Ibanez but it's a bit too expensive so they could go for the RG421
      his amps were Laney and now Marshall JTM so they could get a Laney or a Marshall
      and maybe the Xotic AC Boost
      for billy it's a yamaha bass into a hartke bass amp and a drive pedal

  • @paulblackman8159
    @paulblackman8159 6 лет назад

    I have an Epi Viola and I find that with the original strings you can get a good variety of sounds other than the classic Hofner sound. I use LaBella flatwounds on mine to get closer to the McCartney sound. Also if you're plugging into a sound board you'll need to boost your levels with an amp or a pedal as most modern equipment won't integrate it very loudly. The dials are two volume controls for each pickup (no pickup switch) and a shared tone control which makes it easier to manipulate than the Hofner switches.

      A first for Sound Like: a 3 guitar setup. I don’t think Matt would be up to being either Felder or Walsh. Make him Glenn Frey. have Rabea and guest star Danish Pete be Felder/Walsh.
      Or maybe just have Rabea be Felder and Walsh and give him a coil splittable Epi Les Paul.

  • @Kezzeract
    @Kezzeract 6 лет назад

    Just in terms of pedals; The Beatles did use a few of the early fuzz pedals.
    For example, on Revolver, and a few Rubber Soul tracks, they used a WEM Pep Box (which recently got a reissue) for some bigger, grittier distortion. Think Paperback Writer/Rain and the Taxman guitar solo. That kind of thing.
    Mega sounding pedal.

      Pretty standard practice when you have two people talking to a camera like this to pan their voices to either side so you can differentiate between them if you're not watching and just listening. Also means if at any point they talk over each other they won't drown each other out.
