@@stuiedaman thats definitely an oversimplification but i do think theres some truth to that. the easier an instrument is to play, the easier itll be for them to nail lines though
@@stuiedamanlol you believed it cause you're not a guitarist. if all you do is thrash with distortion, sure I guess. But if you play real blues or jazz or have a signature sound, cheap guitars won't cut it - AS IS. However, take a cheapo, put some quality tuning heads, nice pickups, good strings, quality knobs and a quality bridge (if needed), set the truss-rod, file your nut, set your action, file the frets to eliminate buzz after setting the action, file the fret edges (so they don't catch your hand), and you will not be able to tell the difference from a really nice guitar. That's what most pros did for their first real guitar. they built it from a cheap body. Ask any pro who they learned to set up their guitar from - or who sets up their guitars, and they will ALL give you a name. That's the key difference between beginner and pro guitars.
That's why for ANY band, you CAN'T have have a drummer OR bassist (or both) that suck. If the foundation is solid, everything else being "terrible" still makes the band overall at least passable.
This is pretty commonplace though, there are a ton of cheap fender knockoff basses out there that aren’t bad especially if you slap some good strings on.
But thats not what they say, they say it literally doesn't matter, buy the cheapest equipment, its all in the player. A great tone costs money, period. Its not a coincidence every player in this band usually plays an expensive rig.
it's not that you cannot sound good without good instruments, it's that you cannot sound good on /bad/ instruments. it's like how good instruments do not make a bad player better, but a good player can sound better on good instruments.
The bass is at least totally valid as an instrument. Like it’s not winning any awards but if you’re a beginner or if you’re in a punk band or just need some kind of bass then it’s pretty workable. Like damn I’ll pick up a $55 bass that sounds like that why not?

Honestly as an Avant-garde Jazz addict...Shit was actually kind of insane. Would actually like to hear the more "modern" fusion sound incorporated in the Jazz Avant-garde scene.
In a way, this is kind of fun and interesting to watch... But it kinda has a sad undertone because Temu actually profits from this. Why would you support such an organisation?
It amazes me that people will say this about Temu but still buy the same abusive products from Amazon for more money 😂😂 the drop shippers for those products still use services like Temu. Nothing changed. But it's about optics for y'all.
@@andrew66862 you can buy better stuff, in bundles, at a music store (and, guess what, low cost instruments are not made in better working conditions) This video shows how terrible are these instruments. Not a good ad. Stop being so triggery. No one in his good mind would take this as "wow, I'm gonna buy some some of this unplayable, terribly sounding stuff"
After seeing this it would be interesting to see y'all re-record the song on budget/entry model instruments for each musician.... Just to drive home the fact that it's really not the gear but the musician.... Great video😂🔥🔥
I'm not a hater and i normally never run out a negative comment frivolously. BUT i must say: everything i ordered at Temu is garbage. Absolutely no way i would buy there anymore, on the contrary i would advise against doing it !
did you know that Temu takes advantage of an outdated law that makes the US government pay for shipping from “developing countries” including China? So the whole point of temu is to make the US drain money on cheap trash to attack the US financially
Excellent and hilarious! I will show this to everyone who asks me for advice regarding buying instruments for their kids and want to save money even if the instruments are crap.
Zack never ceases to entertain me and get a laugh but this one i was laughing so hard my earbuds wouldn't stay in my ears, had to pause the video before i lost it. thank you for that laugh, see that little Tom spinning on that freaking temu Gibraltar hardware and then fall off completely... I'm dying lol. thank you Zack for the entertainment
Yeah, At least we know that cymbals and bass are nice. I bet they would sound nice already when given student grade saxophones, and cheapest 61 keys keyboard from any well known brand (Yamaha or Casio) and drum kit that doesn't fall apart.
One of our school principals recommended that our band director should do a 4th grade jazz ensemble. I believe this is an accurate representation of what that would sound like
@@SuperMegaWoofer3000 THIS! I wish more people were getting upset about the Temu advertising. If you're a young musician, it would be MUCH better to take the money you're going to spend on Temu, and buy a better name brand item USED. It will last WAY longer and sound WAY better
WOW! The sound from the temu stuff sounds better than the expensive equipment! 😂😂😂 For real,im speechless on the quality of sound coming from TEMU. Made you sound like you were a band under all under 10 years of age. It made you sound like a kids band from a school talent show.
Thats what jazz fusion sounds like to people who dont like jazz fusion
Fair enough 😅😂
as someone who doesn't like jazz fusion, this comment is accurate af
Have you heard minoru mukaiya asia?

you just blew my mind
sounds like a middle school band when the conductor says they have a "cool piece" for them

after listening to this, i have new-found respect for all the school orchestras i’ve experienced
hahahaha... so perfect

On point 😂
Coles just chilling back there with the only playable instrument in the band 😂
Always get the expensive amp and the cheap guitar.
I might buy that bass😂 I play drums but i think bass is cool and that would be a sick cheap starter if it’s actually not bad

The bass sounds absolutely fine lol. Relatively.
I was told that more expensive (electric) guitars are just for the guitarist, and it doesn't make any difference for the audience.

that's the genius of leos design
cheap instruments typically lack in the electronics department, and tuning stability. almost all are great platforms to upgrade though
If it wasn't for the ridiculously out of tune sax, this would sound perfectly ok lol
And the drums and keys.. they sound terrible. Which means, the bass is decent.
fr
no the bass is the only ok instrument
The total absence of a kick drum sound is an issue.
The kids at the temu factory are gonna get a kick out of this one 😂
Ayoo😂😂😂😂😅
💀😂
Temu is a very predatory website, using all the worst psychological biases to make ppl buy crap they dont need, very nasty sponsor imo ...
One of the worst sponsors he could take . Better help wouldve been better for christs sake...
Lmaooo 🤣☠️
Cole just straight up got a whole new bass that's actually wild it sounds way too good hahahah
Yea, the presumably cheap bass actually sounds on-point. It seems pretty good for whatever it cost. The saxophones, on the other hand.... 😬

"Equipment doesn't matter, the tone is all in the hands"
Well if u have shitty equipment then of course it's not only you. But say if u got a 250 dollar guitar with a decent amp. Then there's no excuse

it's like how good instruments do not make a bad player better, but a good player can sound better on good instruments.
@@rakninja You just watched professional musicians fail to sound good without good instruments.
The sound reminds me of band class in elementary, amazing that professionals can revert back to beginners with cheap gear.
