SRV - Interview - Stevie's Setup 2/2

[Jakexx01]

I don't think the guy is being rude, he just is having a bit of a difficult time with the interview. I'm sure if Stevie thought he was being disrespected he would have been a lot shorter in his answers. I spoke with the Allman Bros. percussionist Marc Quinones years ago and he said he met Stevie at a NAMM Show and he was without a doubt the most humble and gracious person he had ever met in the music industry. Not a wimp but a nice guy. We all could take a lesson from Mr. Vaughn.

is borat doing the interview?

[cambruoso]

If i owned the radio station.I would of threw a cup of hot coffee in his face!And fire the fuckhead for being so fucking lame and rude for his interview with the Fender Master SRV.

2:22 Non-Native English speakers should probably refrain from using the word "ain't"... especially if they still pronounce "circuit" as "cir-kwit."

My american strat neck meets the body between 16 and 17 of the 22

[reaper726]

My american standard strat neck meets the body between 16 and 17

It's a complete shame that this guy got to interview SRV; he seemed to have little to no real interest at all with the whole deal. Props to SRV for being a gentleman through it all. Rest in Peace ;0(

[MrAliman1234]

I live in dallas and played on some of those guitar they are amazing!!

[hankjive]

I think around 3:42 he is finnish

[keittokirjatepo]

The interviewer has a funny accent, is he finnish?

[surfco]

@keittokirjatepo That's because he's not american.

[saidas108]

@keittokirjatepo Sounds Russian to me.

[Grzz51]

I have a Norwegian friend and his accent is about the same.....

[mrfester42]

@saidas108 I would say maybe it's Dutch but definitely not Russian!

[44eelz]

mexicans can repair anything. ANYTHING...

give us a UFO and we'll back engineer it, in

a week. for half the price.

[cchan94313]

At 3:00 to about 3:05 says it all.

[mario4526]

its realy sad hes gone.rip srv

[1Batt]

Am I all wet or does it sound like Stevie wasnt into the technical side as much as the kick ass playin side?

[bananachuck124]

totally. he didnt give a shit about gear. He just wanted to play man.

[SrvSlash69]

man! i went to charley's today to repair my strat! i walked in and stevie is everywhere all over the walls! they had that guitar!

[Cldfsn0200]

I have been playing guitars for 20 years and I prefer Fender the most most because of Hendrix and SRV. About 12 years ago I bought a Danelectro guitar with same exact pick ups for $99 on clearance and that guitar did have the same exact kind of tone that he is explaining in the interview. I loved the tone and don't know why the heck I sold it on ebay bout 5 years ago. It had 7 position Switchomatic. I was broke at the time but now I got some money I shoud try to buy it back! Miss that guitar!

[twentyoutoftwenty]

Your work on a geetar makes me want to have-a sexy-time with my seester. High Five!

[resurgam7]

Watch the Tokyo '85 show...Stevie did Tin Pan Alley & others w/this axe....Beautiful tone.

[bluessmith]

yeah, ive got that show. its awesome. Say what is so heavy. Thanks for watchin

[resurgam7]

Alder body, ebony fingerboard, maple neck and Danelectro "lipstick" pickups. Hardtail, single tone and volume controls. White "trick" or "flip-flop" automotive paint which gives an irredescent blue tint depending on the light and angle of view. In 2003, Charley's and Rene Martinez made 23 numbered Owners of these replicas include Carlos Santana, John Mayer and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

[mindaflame7]

Most youtube posters (especially in music vids) are actually kids younger than 10, and as far as videogames go, the way it works is, MOST non-american gamers are adults because kids in most other countries can't afford a console or a high speed connection, but here in the states it's the total opposite, MOST litterate and responssible Americans are way too busy with their work to have the time to go online for fun so much, and that's why people abroad have us pegged as violent 12 year olds

[shanestallion]

WHAT does this have to do with SRV's gear??

[mindaflame7]

Oh, sorry, you must have missed the comment i was replying to from some guy mixing this up with the videogame "guitar hero", and saying that through his interaction with us via multiplayer videogames, he has decided that we Americans are violent and foul mouthed..Hence my rebuttal...

[toyoubecritic1]

Stevie used alot of differnt gear. Mainly old Marhsall, fender amps, The white guitar in this video was barely used as far I can remember. Some videos he did use the guitar and I guess maybe on some albums and special songs. But really I never liked the way it sounded.

[JuniorBlues101]

he used it almost as much as his number one buddy!

[toyoubecritic1]

I have rarely seen him use it.

[originaltbyrd]

if you watch the montreu dvd, you'll see he used it almost all the way thru the show. he played this guitar alot of the time.

[toyoubecritic1]

Its a fixed bridge. Its still sounds great. I just have not really seen him with it that much. And its probably my reluctancy to not want to see him with any other guitar that his number one. Live at the El Macombo is what I hang onto. By far one of his best performances. No offense ment.

[60spastlife]

Ha...good points. my Mother is German, and she is one of the most well spoken people I know.

[flexman22]

Interesting. Thanks!

[nars1l]

This was said in the comments for video 1 as well, but I thought it needed to be said again here.

The interviewer is pants

[thailow117]

dude, i am german myself i was just referring to previous comments. no worries and thx for your reply.

[12gaugeboomers]

I know its common knowledge,but don't be scared of ripping out your frets and putting jumbos in,i did it to my srv,clapton and my eric johnson its addictive.way better.fat strings and high action.louder,rings out,and harder to play.need resistance

[skatebueno123]

it makes me so sad that he is no longer with us.

[bluesuburban]

Awesome interview just great hearing him chat about the guitar set up, I had heard he had also played the odd Tokai and was asked to remove the fender logo. Does any one have any real insight into that?? is fact or fiction as I have seen a Tokai poster with srv

[fakeemailbox]

The story goes that the guitar he is holding on the cover of the Texas Flood album is a Tokai Springy Sound strat. These were GREAT strat knockoffs back when CBS still owned Fender and was building below standard guitars. The cover of Texas Flood has no name on the headstock because it was removed for use on the cover. However, I have never seen him actually use a Tokai. But I wouldn't doubt it as these were awesome guitars.

[Leadsticks]

I believe the interviewer was a finn called Esa Kuloniemi. He still hosts the one and only blues-radio show in Finland called Bluesministeri.

He is a great guitarist and doing an excellent job for blues awareness. He is very respected here in Finland so I don't understand what's all that disrespect about. Com'on!

[Dmichel123]

Eb model? I wonder what the scale length of Charlie was? At ~2:00 it shows a close-up, the neck meets the body at like the 17th fret, a normal strat is closer to the 15th. The neck looks longer also... HMMM?

[bluessmith]

yeah you're right. Ive never noticed that. makes you wonder.

[Grzz51]

@Dmichel123 I checked all 3 of my Strats and the necks on all of then join the body between the 16th and 17th frets. The camera angles can do weird things to pictures.

[changemeahh]

@Dmichel123 Not so sure, look at 2:46

[thailow117]

not german - it is more of a yugoslavian/russian/polish - i don't know... but rather eastern european. although i must agree that most germans speak horrible english.

[microtechg7]

Retard German interviewer ftw

[rocknfenderguy]

leeeeeepstick pickups, god SRV had patience, haha.

[jywh91]

hahahaha

[jywh91]

What year was this interview done?

[bluessmith]

I think 87 ir si

[jayscott49]

Stevie's such a smart and patient guy, thanks for the chance to hear him in such a normal 'guitar geek' kind of conversation. Truly a cool person, never a bad word for anyone that I've heard.

[OutbackBros]

Ha ha ...that's Funeee

[strat66757]

stevie was the best i would replicate everything about him if i thought i could do it even half as good

[midland88]

haha stevie liked to talk about his gear even with a dumb

[stratocaster1959]

well said you 2 +1

[stratman1990]

I've seen / heard a lot of interviews by SRV now, and no matter how stupid the interviewer is, Stevie was always very polite and friendly. What a man

[allansfriend]

Stevie talked the way he sang, didn't he? I like that...

[stratocaster1959]

the guy who interveiwed him wasnt just dumb he was STUPIDLY DUMB rofl

[Minekom2007]

the guy in the phone with stevie is dumb

[rosanamod]

"special wiring"...? Stevie was so good, people thought there was a trick. Who interviewed him? Anyone know?

[1957fenderstrat]
