    I saw Slipknot during The All Hope is Gone tour. I remember they did the (sic) test or whatever it's called (not the biggest Slipknot fan). So everyone got down on the ground, I was literally the only person standing in the front. Jim Root pointed to me signaling me to get down, I shook my head no, and he just put his arms out and shrugged. It's a funny memory that I have.

    Jim is by far one of my favorite guitarists ever, and definitely one of my main heroes.
    Even though I'm not a huge fan of active pickups, or the minimalism of just having one single knob, the looks/aesthetics of this guitar model completely sold me, it's just a too big turn on.
    I really wish that Fender/Squier comes up with a HH Jazzmaster back in the line for 2021, (like you did for the Modern Player Series) with looks similar to these (maybe a regular C chape 9.5" radius, but keep the block inlays, some cheaper wood for the body like Basswood, and I don't even mind if you change the type of bridge, or the humbuckers).

    I’ve always wanted to know micks opinions on Jim’s guitars, mick likes a practical minimalist design as well. I wonder if they’ve fucked around on each other‘s guitars

    • @KyleDreeling
      @KyleDreeling 4 года назад +61

      They’ve definitely tried each other’s guitars. No way they haven’t

      I think in the Rig Rundown they did with Premier Guitar like five years ago they talk a little bit about each others guitars. Long story short: they can't play them because of how different they feel.
      But now that I think about it, back then Mick was with Ibanez. Now they are under the same parent company, they could do some marketing together.

      @YoStefan i feel like I remember years ago Jim saying that he used to play a dinky that he absolutely hated but I could be mistaken

    • @JohnC546
      @JohnC546 4 года назад +2

      Mick plays Jacksons and used to do Ibanez. Superstrats are a bit easier to go between brands, Jim's guitars look cool but I personally prefer the feel of a superstrat to a metal modded Fender

    I cant get into bands without live instruments specifically because of the voice of an instrument. It's not telling u how it feels with words but u can still feel its feelings. Words aren't necessary.

    Will the blood red one he used a lot during the .5 era tours ever be available?

    Jim root is my guitar idol. I picked up the guitar before I got into slipknot and I had no idea what to play, but then I found slipknot and Jim root he has so much range, from nu-metal to jazz. Before I got into his music I was very bored with my guitar

    They really over complicated the tuning, it’s just Drop B.

    • @avidcracksmoker
      @avidcracksmoker 4 года назад +13

      even tho what jim says is correct yeah they coulda just said drop b

    •  4 года назад +16

      Drop B could be misunderstood as standard with a drop b.

    • @imlerith1800
      @imlerith1800 3 года назад +20

      @ By people who don't understand guitar tunings lol. Most guitarists know that Drop B is C# standard with the low E tuned down a full step to B.

    • @swiftuav3617
      @swiftuav3617 3 года назад +2

      While I get your point, there are artists like Zakk Wylde who sometimes use really strange tunings (like AADGBE, which is could be called drop A). Probably just said what he said to clarify and be extra specific.

    2:30 I don't think he knows what Luminol is, but he's been watching Forensic Files.

    • @Led198957
      @Led198957 4 года назад +3

      I think he meant Luminor. The correct name is Radiomir, it's a composite of phosphorus and radioactive materials made by an italian watchmaker (Panerai) back in the '20. It was used to light up watch indicators of scuba divers and scopes sights of the cannons of the italian Regia Marina. It should light itself up without using sun or light sources.

    I got my Jazzmaster in a few days ago. Trust me...you won’t be disappointed. I have Chapmans, Gibsons, Ibanez (love them all). This Jazzmaster hits different and is by far my favorite. I’m in love with it and can’t put it down. I have the JR Tele as well. This Jazzmaster has a different feel and tone compared to the tele. The new neck style is more comfortable than his previous sig models. This guitar rips and is my prized possession.
