crank this bitch!!!

[bauersnarky]

@fenix478 I've got a video in the works doing just that!

[skaterocker666]

what song are you playing at first?

[LauriLax1]

@skaterocker666 It is beggining of Day Tripper.

[RETZMUSIC]

nice shorts

[bobert995]

what strings do you have on the gretsch?

[ShivaTheAuspicious]

Vintage prices are ridiculous dude...700 for a 1484? gimme a break, two famous people use them and they jump that high? They aren't actually worth more than 400 for the set.

[bauersnarky]

@ShivaTheAuspicious As I say in the video I traded my Wii and games/accessories (worth about $350 three years ago) for the head and paid $350 for the cab, which was new. So that's where the $700 comes from.

[SeanBobFrank]

This is a flat top, right?

[beatleslennonfan]

@bauersnarky how much? im planing for my first Gretsch

[MrJargonScott]

Where did you get that Beatles tee?

[bsdickey1]

yuck to the reverb...yuck

[stratsrul]

I'd trade 50 wiis for a 1484. with the original cab of course

btw nice playin'

[Mdude667]

dude wat do you think of the JJ 1 gretch. I have 1 and hate it. U?

[Jimihendrix6699]

i think jack white uses a 1485

[Mordred113]

Plus you need that 6x10 Jensen speaker case to go with it to get the true crunch out of it.

[plumbercorey]

@Mordred113 the 6x10 cab came with the 1465 model 100w solid state head

[leed1984]

has it got a over drive knob? wanna get that horrible overdriven sound velvet under ground white stripes etc.

[solameimkool]

as far as the amp goes I'm not sure, but Jack White from the White Stripes uses a Big Muff Fuzz pedal thing to get his sound. Hope that helps.

[bauersnarky]

@solameimkool and a digitech digital whammy.

[abubacar]

That thing sounds very pretty.. Do you know anything about the 1483? Im looking at one on ebay.

[bauersnarky]

i do! its basically just a 1484 with only one channel.

[abubacar]

Yeah i just won the auction. I am pumped for it to come. Your videos pretty much sold me on avatar cabs too. Which one do you have?

[bauersnarky]

awesome man! you wont regret it at all i can promise you that. i have a custom 2x12 with two hellatone 30's

[abubacar]

Do you know what ohm rating is suitable for this amp head. I saw yours said a minimum of 4 Ohms. Is it any different for the 1483. I am trying to do some research on it, but i can't seem to find much on the 1483.

[bauersnarky]

no idea, i think it varies for each amp and if mods were made in it or not.

[abubacar]

Yeah i am thinking that too. Do you know if the wattage on the back of the head is accurate? I have heard of 1483's being 45 watts or 25 watts. Mine says 109 Watts, which is a really strange number.

[thebert03]

@abubacar

The 1484's jack is 4ohm.

[EdPolepsy]

Do this again, but turn the amp up to where it grinds, and TALK LESS

[bauersnarky]

sorry i talked too much for you. if i had turned it up to where it was 'grinding,' i would be deaf right now. my 1484 is one of the most powerful 1484s ive ever encountered with a SHITload of headroom

[LoopyMoscardini]

I'm getting that for christmas the Gretsch:D:D

[bobert995]

man, I want a silvertone 1484 sooo bad.Gotta get one after xmas.

[bauersnarky]

haha i know the feeling... you wont regret it!!

[Zuhzuhzombie]

bauersnarky, have you played a Gretsch Special Jet?

Gretsch canceled the Special Jet and apparently are happy with letting the 'Vette take the place as their slab, with the Junior I and II taking the spot of the LP style but for a cheaper price.

[bauersnarky]

i cant say that i have. what was the former slab like? was it as heavy as the junior jet??? lol

[Zuhzuhzombie]

Personally, I don't think it's that heavy. I haven't put it on a scale or anything, but it certainly doesn't feel any heavier than what one would expect.

I'm guessing you're pretty happy with the Jet II. I thought about getting a Junior Jet bass, I really like the sound, but short scale just isn't for me. There's a normal scale version, it's just hard to find.

Anyway, if you have the option of grabbing a Special Jet, I'd go for it. They regularly go for about 250 on the internet.

[Zuhzuhzombie]

Love mine save for two things. Bottom/finger side of the frets, couple aren't completely flush with the neck, and while the bridge is fine, I might put a Bigsby on it.

[Xerxes666metal]

How does this guitar sound with distortion????

[Xerxes666metal]

What would this guitar be good for???

[bauersnarky]

jazz, classic rock, i dont know. its not that hard to figure out...

[psychkoala]

@Xerxes666metal

Rock'n'roll, Rockabilly, Rock, & Country.

[apud86]

u talk too much... well u are american

[MarijuanaGood4U]

I can't hear shit what this guy is saying. Oh well, the important part is I hear the guitar.

[bauersnarky]

That's what your computer volume control is for.

[dirtypaper]

Is the neck glued on,because i'm interested in buying one soon, instead of a gibson junior.

[lagman50]

Yes, it's glued in and it's cheap

[dirtypaper]

But is it any good, i've heard the pickups wheren't that great. If that's not the case i'll wont buy a les paul junior or are there any juniors with two pickups? Oh and thanks for the reply.

[lagman50]

Yes there are Les Paul Jnrs. w/ 2 pickups, they're called Les Paul Specials, and the pickups are VERY dependent on the amp.

[dirtypaper]

i can't choose :-) maybe testing them first would be a good idea.

Thanks again lagman50

[bauersnarky]

what the hell? nevermind what lagman50 said, the neck isnt glued on, it's a bolt-on, and no it isnt 'cheap'. this guitar's built like a tank.

[Zuhzuhzombie]

Nothing wrong with a set neck anyway. Didn't know the Junior's were bolt on.

[dirtypaper]

damn, now i'm confused, i was planning to buy a Gibson junior but it has one neck pickup so this would be more interesting to buy. Is the neck glued on?

[RNRDOLL]

no the juniors have one bridge pickup, and they smoke...dont let the fact its a one pickup guitar fool you. It takes that sound and doesnt better than anything else will. You find out later how important that is, a piece of gear thats concentrated on doing that one job.

[googaboogaloo]

sounds a lot like my granpas amp that he got with his gretsch in the 40s

[MoongrassNoel]

brillilant tone mate WOW!!!!!

[MattTC1028]

awesome man. you should do a demo of your lennon EJ acoustic - electric. thatd be amazing.

[whatbedevoid]

I bought that guitar a few months back and it's everything I could imagine it to be. Amazing review by the way!

[dannyramone7]

Man that gretsch sounds great, I was thinking about buying the single pick up version a few years back, might get it now
