Fender Nasville Telecaster B Bender Demo

[Poisonboy2die4]

This is bullshit for rednecks!!Honestly

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@Poisonboy2die4 Hell yeah!!

[twst1]

did you sell it? did you buy it like that or have it installed?

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@twst1 I bought it with the factory installed Parsons/Green b bender mechanism.

[Lars6111]

Nice playing!

I'm probably going to buy a guitar like that soon ;)

Do you have some kind of switch between the volum/tone knobs?

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@Lars6111 Hi. The switch inbetween the control knobs is one I wired in myself. The "factory" setting when the pickup selector switch is in the centre position is: Neck and Bridge p/ups in parallel. When I throw the extra switch down, I get the strat p/up on its own instead of the other two. It only affects that particular p/up selector position. I don't use the guitar that much, so it may be up for sale soon.

[Lars6111]

@BENDITLIKEBAZZA Ty, for your answer!

Thats exactly the same think I want to do when I'm getting a Nashville Telecaster.

Do you have a diagram on how to wire in the switch?

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@Lars6111 Hi, I did it by trial and error! so I haven't got a diagram as such. I used a two position double pole switch if that helps. Let me know how you get on. I also have a G & L Will Ray Tribute model with a Hip Shot B Bender on it. Maybe I'll sort a video out later.

[diatroptoff94]

how much for the b bender mechanism??

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@diatroptoff94 There are various add ons that you can buy. like the "Hip Shot" but this one came already installed.

[murfdog19]

I'm really wanting a B Bender!!

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@murfdog19 . I don't use mine much anymore. I could offer it up for sale!

[1952tear0211]

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

@MrGuimbard Hey, I liked your vids. Tres bien mon ami!

[taariqtaariq]

I must have one of these guitars !!!!!

[StratocasterMaster3]

Yee Haw!! nice vid mate ending was funny

[ronvonryan]

Nice picking mate, I like the B Bender as it can sound like a steel guitar, great for playing Country.

[jteran29]

I just ordered that same guitar. Sunburst Nashville Telecaster with B- Bender. It will be here in march.

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Hey...look forward to your "B Bender demo".

[Rikk303]

I'd be interested to know how you get/got on with it. Not the easiest of guitars to master. Good luck anyway

[GuillermoSmyser]

Cool guitar! Great playing.

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Cheers, Merry Xmas!

[1337pwnGuitarJesus]

are you able to lock the mechanism so it doesn't always bend the b string. I want to get one and i do a lot of moving around stage so with some songs i would like to use it but i would also like to be able to possibly lock it to be sure i dont hit a strange note. Thanks

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

You can't "lock" this particular mechanism. When I first started using it on stage, I had the same problem that you mentioned. After a bit of practice (like anything else) you get more control over the way you move the guitar and are less likely to "set off" the bender accidently. Hope this helps, Baz.

[mcflydrummer7]

I have this same guitar, and you can't lock it as he said, you get control of it fairly easily but if you decide not to, there is still a way to feed it through the guitar without going through the bender mechanism

[ricocarcia]

the guitar comes like that from the store or you put it the mechanism?

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

The guitar came with the mechanism installed. Some luthiers can install one on an "off the shelf" guitar, but this will involve routing out the body. Hope this helps.

[cachacets]

Very nice Playing !

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Thanks!

[DAMIENusa1]

hiiiiiiaaaaaa

[carty1995]

i'm glad you didn't overuse the b bender. If you use it too much it spoils it i think. good little tune anyway :)

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Cheers for your comments

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

You heard wrong...I treated myself to that guitar after passing an OU Degree, so I'm very likely to hang on to it. On this model, the front strap button is connected to the 2nd string (B) via a series of rods in a routed compartment in the rear of the guitar. When you pull up the strap button the B string is pulled tighter so its pitch is raised by a tone. A more accurate name would've been "B Stretcher" but that doesn't has the same ring to it does it? .

[cossygrahame]

sounds good , im going to be emailing you about some lessons im from harlow are you still doing them

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Yes I am. if you google "benditlikebazza" you should come across my website, and can e-mail me from there.

[Williammurderface123]

is there are reason your guitars are hanging up backwards?

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Yes. Like alot of musicians, I have too many instruments and some may not get played for a while. Hanging them facing the wall helps protect the finger-boards from damage and dust.

[lashpipe01]

Diggin' those 6ths dude, smooth but rockin'!

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Thanks for your kind comment. I must do another vid soon. All the best, Bazza.

[tattooabilly]

Sounds great!

[BENDITLIKEBAZZA]

Thanks for your comment. Praise indeed from a fellow Stray Cats fan!
