Pickups demo, Stratocaster CS1960 Relic

[busajasweyoo]

little bit of a nice clapton tone in there!

[WarwickDavey]

Is your neck pickup set low on your low E side. These pickups have great round bass, but it seems not in your neck pickup. I really love this guitar though. I like to cheat up my low end a bit

[WarwickDavey]

It's perfect!!!!

[stephen102]

say if you put those pick ups in a guitar that wasnt a strat like a PRS or les paul would you still get the same strat sound?

[jazzaces294]

@stephen102 You couldn't put these single coils into a humbucker guitar like a Les Paul or most PRS axes

[diablomaniac734]

how did you learn to play like that

[diablomaniac734]

thanks for telling me. i will look into that

[diablomaniac734]

Im not a huge fan of fenders but is there any way to make them sound really fat. I no that the hss strats have humbuckers but can you make a siongle coil pickup sound like a humbucker

-

[zed0469]

@diablomaniac734 .... look into a seymour duncan pickup booster pedal. It fattens the sound and adds 26db gain.

[diablomaniac734]

sounds better than regular strat

[jazzaces294]

@diablomaniac734

At $3000 or so, it had better sound freaking awesome. It also helps that the player is rediculous.

The None Custom Shop Strats are none too shabby though, I freaking love my American Deluxe Fat Strat.

[SearchInSun]

Wow dude no bad comments on this video impressed :P nice tones xD

[rhcpmd]

fuck that guitar is beautiful

[MsFenderbender]

very nice how long have you been playing

[haaaUNDaemmm]

great playing..sounds good !

[Tombugs49]

Great playing,my friend!I have the 1960 Relic in Fiesta red.Can't beat it.I also have 59 Bassman Ltd,and Blues Jr. Tolex,and Tweed JensenBlues Jr..Needless to say,I am partial to Fender,although I do own a Gibson Les Paul Special TV yellow.Great guitar!Keep upthe good work ,dude!

[frattyfenderman]

how are you micin the guitar to the comp? i want to make some vids and put on youtube but i dont know to like my sound to the comp?? i want to use my amp .. any tips man?

[koeienboei]

buy a toneport

[Arkery]

just get a good cam, or get a recording piece, line 6 has some decent ones, then hook it up through your amp but I use garage band, so it may be a tit different.

[sportsportsport]

some of it sounded like joe walsh - funk 49

around 24 secs

[jjd54321]

congratz, you just sold a cs 60 ri for fender ;P

[jjd54321]

n.o.s. of course, but to each their own

[kajarambler]

desfinada la 3era...

[GeoStratocaster]

For some reason, it looks as though you can move around more easily on the relic strat's neck than you can on the 62 RI strat, would you say this is true? If so, why do you think this is the case?

Great playing.

[AllKillA]

Sounds wonderful!

[drudoooox]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!­!!la vogliooooooooooooooo!!!

[pupptezhero]

just like my guitar!!!

[Ryanfenderblues]

Surely, the best sounding strat on the web. Nice!

[FSofty]

Can I ask you what the neck radius is on your CS 1960 please?

Same question for your '62 RI.

Awesome playing, great sounds.

[sooperkula]

It should be 7.25", if everything is vintage correct.

[revriley]

hallelujah!

[prippropro]

god bless the strat

[fingerlicks]

Amen..

[bhokka123feta88]

little wing

nice.

[axwellmaxwell]

hey man that's cool. it reminds me of hendrix's sound, and that's sooo good !

keep rocking

[chibibeffer]

Damn, those pickups rock. You are so fucking good its riduculous. I love you. hahahaha.

[hckrkd]

I've looked through several videos of different strats and this one is by far my favorite (and you are by far my favorite player too). I'd like to see how my Mexican Strat would sound with CS60 pickups, but I can't seem to find them anywhere! Can someone point me in the right direction?

[sooperkula]

The best one for 60s tones would be the CS69 pickups; they come on stock of the Classic Player 60s Strat. Which is nice.

[fenderbandi]

I Want your guitar! Watch yourself! :)

[DetroitDen]

Great stuff!

Purchased one of these CS Relic after years of swearing it's a gimmick. They are NOT. More vibe from this axe thru a '66 BFSR than any Strat I have ever played in my 47 years of playing. Still dont sound as seamless as your playing...keep on rockin for this generation!

Den

[goerzlin]

Tone sounds amazing! According to the specifications of Fender time machine,the CS 60 relic is equiped with 3-ways switch.

Do you change the switch ?

[Kassad62]

thanks. Yep, i put the 5 ways switch, included in the case ;)

[EdMardell]

Lol Angelorichetti has no idea what he's talking about. I'd ENCOURAGE playing familar tunes on a demo page, that way people will know how close it is to the original sound and can hear differences etc. Idyut.

[rogvideos2007]

Man...that's what I call a great strat tone...and also very nice playing.

[Niox117]

Tone sounds awesome and your playing is enjoyable too. Good Vid. (5/5)

[Kassad62]

Read the title again pal, it's a DEMO.

;)

[angelorichetti]

like i said PAL! LETS HERE YOUR STUFF FOR A DEMO.ITS VERY EASY TO PLAY SOMETHING THATS ALREADY BEEN DONE PAL!

[arbitermatt]

Why are you being a jerk?

[scholzie]

The point isn't to show off his playing, you idiot. It's to show off the pickups - he's not demoing his talent.

Also, it's spelled "hear." Go back to school and learn how to spell and do deductive reasoning, then you can come back and taunt people over the internet as much as you'd like.

[angelorichetti]

HEAR LISTIN TO THIS lets here some originals

[StefanPriceUK]

That comment makes no sense.

[kingm56]

were u born such a douche bag?

[blueslover102]

Killer sound

[wrigleyx]

great sound!

what do you think about "custom 69" pick up?

[robertgroove66]

sweet sounding guitar and tone!!

Rob

[guitar62751]

Awesome playing and demo!

Stu

[StrappedGypsy]

kassad! greetings from the US! hey man, stoppin by to say i dig all your vids. great playin all around! keep the blues alive brother. im jealous of your guitar! once i save up enough dough im gonna get your old axe, the 62 reissue :) but until then im jammin on Dolly Dagger and my Mr. Potato, haha. broke in college. stop by and check my vids sometime, theyre kinda sloppy, but thats what you get when youre playin buzzed with broken gear

[Ttisserand]

i like your style very much...you are a very good blueser ;) and your sound is good, too...I watched all your videos....

[okaykid77]

Ouais! Le petit hommage à Hendrix sonne vraiment fort sur ces pick-ups.

Rock on, mec!

[seasonedtoker]

if you would eliminate slight fret buzzes you have above the 5th fret the guitar will sound even a tiny bit better. you'll see. :)

[stratbreizh29]

Excellent Kassad!!!

See you soon!

[billthehype]

what are the main differences between your CS1960 and the american vintage 62R besides the price

[Kassad62]

a better quality, pickups, neck more comfortable etc...

[fiaaar]

your sound is great.

how long do you play?

[Necko91]

Salut salut, c'est bien cool tous sa ^^

Le son est super =)

Tu pourrai me mettre les configs Bass middle treeble pliz en message privé ou pas ? :O

[Kassad62]

Merci

Je change assez souvent mes settings, et la je me rappelle plus trop.

En gros, beaucoup de middle et peu de treble et bass

[Necko91]

Ah oki merci ^^

Moi je change pas beaucoup mais pour avoir un son blues je faisai le contraire, beaucoup de bass et treeble et peu de middle lol.

Je vais essayer sa tout de suite ^^. Merci encore.

[generationsband]

Nice dude- you totally rock!

[Thmscr]

sick of that little wing hendrix tune!!!! it's great and i´m huge hendrix fan but i'm tired to hear it on youtube, sorry...and also always the same blues licks

[JamesD555]

turn the gain up a little and let that thing scream!

nice fiddle sounds awesome

[Meranda543218]

ur awesome!!!

i wish i can play a guitar like u!

[cardude6987]

Kassad i love your blues jams but what guitar is this exactly? What are the pickups? Where can i find this guitar? I searched the web for CS1960 pickups, is that right?

[Kassad62]

It's a Fender Stratocaster from the custom Shop, a Time Machine 1960 Relic. ;)

[RollBlues]

Hello

Will is a vintage fender american or an american fender custom shop?

I saw was a Fender American Vintage 62 not a relic

Relic aprox. 3000$

American vintage aprox. 1400$

[Kassad62]

In the title, CS1960 = Custom Shop 1960 (relic)

;)

[AndersonGuitar]

Kassad, I'm a fan. that is a facr. wich recording program do you use? you record both audio and video simultaneously, right? I'm buying a microphone but I need a good program. thanks!! keep on rockin'!! or should I say "bluesin"? XD

[Kassad62]

thanks.

For recording, i have a mic, a sure, in front of the amp, plugged in my soundcard. And the video is taken with a creative webcam. And recording with Windows movie Maker. ;)

[AndersonGuitar]

but how can you sincronize your playing and the backing tracks? I haven't found that out yet.

[Kassad62]

I played the Backtrack with Windows media player, and played my axe in the same time. ;)

[mhhjw]

Great tone!!! eahh

[Daniel19881228]

Yes!!! Best little wing on youtube, great, great, great!!! Your new guitar is fandastic, I love your tone ;)Please add some new video soon :)

[intheblues]

It's a great tone for funk on the clean channel. It has that sort of quality to it.

Very nice again man. :) - Shane

[revriley]

sweet tone man.

[bbsb300]

Hi Alex, just passing. I love that sound and skillful playing 5* ;)

[Kassad62]

thanks my friend ! ;)

[salexfr]

si je peux me permet d'un petit conseil: prendre le temps de jouer bien CHAQUE note !

[Kassad62]

bien sur que tu peux te permettre.

La c'est plus une petite demo pour le son. ;)

[baka86]

i love your music kassad! I'm your # 1 fan!!! PS. thanks for giving me good advice about choosing my new guitar. I tried a whole bunch of different SG's and Strats and ended up with a really nice sounding eric clapton artist series guitar!

[longestshadow]

hello @kassad62.......i like the neck position a lot...your middle position sounds good also....just a couple of questions: what kind of strings do you use and also what kind of picks??....as i've told you before guys like you are a great inspiration for the youngsters who are just starting to learn how to play!....keep it up!!

[Kassad62]

thanks mate. ;)

I used Ernie Ball 10/46, and Everly Stars picks (the green ones, .88, or Fender)

[GibsonSG47]

you are very very good! i enjoyed that very much, you play rather well, especially with the hendrix. keep doin what u do!

[pondus1492]

man, you give me so ***** much inspiration!

Thanks, and keep it coming, one day you'll be famous!

[saladin05]

Well, it is not very instructive as a message loladu68! I am sure that you are the kind çà crittiquer a sound and the guitar in general while you are still in the learning of an agreement crossed!

encore merci pour tes videos kassad62 continu

[Kassad62]

Merci

Un peu bizarre le gars. Un peu jeune surement. ;)

[loladu68]

that was absolutely fucking disgusting sound 100% better just playing through the amp.I have to say it is a nice set of pedals but it sounds shit all together

[loladu68]

that was absolutely fucking disgusting sound 100% better just playing through the amp.I have to say it is a nice set of pedals but it sounds shit all together

[loladu68]

O dou tu te permet de parler comme sa !!!!

Son de merde TOI !!!!

[Kassad62]

Ben alors, qu'est ce qu'il t'arrives ?

T'as le droit de pas aimer, evidemment, mais faut rester poli un minimum, ok ?

[thesilverfox]

Un régal !!! ;0)

[Xgffr]

AAAH !!! Jimiiiiiiii Hendrix !!! ça sonne tellement avec ta gratte ...

[motorkalo2008]

I've been watching your videos and noticed that you are amazingly talented blues guitarist. Good job.

Next amp and effects that I'm going to by is Fender Deluxe Reverb, Ibanez Tube Screamer (TS808) and that MXR Dynacomp which you also have. But only broblem is still on: I haven't enough money. :(

But hey, check also my cover of Hurriganes which me and my friend recorded...

[Kassad62]

Thanks mate.

Money is always the problem... ;)

[JonnyMangia]

Fantastic tones. Any chance of doing a tutorial on the Little Wing intro? Your version sounds great.

[bbsb300]

Hey Alex sounds as if it was worth losing your other babies lol. I got my Strat, looks like yours only maple. It is a very hard guitar to set down,love it and love yours 5* ;)

[Kassad62]

thanks my friend. ;)

I like maple fretboard too.

[matrix9988]

whats the song at 1:45? BTW u kick ass

[aec0691]

the wind cries mary. Jimi Hendrix

[osmose086]

This is really great!I like this tune

[Tedium777]

Oh man great song selection. I'm a Hendrix nut so. :) Strat sounds amazing. I'm actually getting my first strat next month. I've used a Greg Bennett Malibu up until now. Being poor sucks. xD

[Kassad62]

Hey thanks !

Happy for you with your new strat.

This toys are really too much expensive, i agree (i'm really not rich at all, and i made a lot of sacrifice to have a strat like these...)

[redhotchilipepers67]

you really deserve playing with this guitars, you have an incredible guitar level

[ftele]

~Man my TS-9 is to harsh for my rig...I'm down to G&L strat...tuner...Bassman amp...I'm throwin' everything out the window and starting over..AAAHHHHH..!!!!

[ftele]

~Fantastic tone chief...does the dynacomp add a lot to the tone..?? Can't really hear any delay..is it on..?? Sounds great like it is...beautiful..~~

[Kassad62]

Thanks my friend. ;)

The dynacomp colored lightly the tone, but in fact i used it to add more gain/volume to the sound.

And the delay is very very light. I used it to add a few echo. ;)

And don't throw anything ! Your gear is great, and you use it very well !!!!

[Kahssymhir]

Impressionnant, comme toujours.

Faut vraiment que je bosse moi :°

[Nicoach]

Omg t un dieux !

[JimiRayYng]

yeah cool, the guitar looks and sounds great.

love that tone too.

[bluesjr11]

Nicely done, you have a really good ear for the blues. I like the Jimi Hendrix bits!

[gixxerloverletsgo21]

[eclapton]

Ah cool une nouvelle vidéo!!!

Nice tone and playing as always

[Kassad62]

[rustyo2]

[Kassad62]

[Budafinga]

[Kassad62]
