Warr Guitars MIDI/Synth Demo

Jim Wright gives a brief demonstration of the control knobs and switches on the 12-string Warr Phalanx touch-style bass guitar. Jim Wright is using the Roland GR-30 for his MIDI/Synth converter. For the analog side of things Jim is playing bass through an Eden World Tour 400 through a 4X10 Eden cabinet. For the guitar side Jim is playing through the Lone Wolf Amplification. http://www.lonewolfamps.com/

[warrguitars]

or instead of having some douche screw up the music you write, play both at once

[ZOMGItsRobot]

I dont really see the need of getting two people for a job that this man can accomplish by himself.

And who cares how its made as long as its music?

Go the Analogue Eigenharp!

love the innovation! build and the artists will come!!!

[joe44850]

I freakin love it ( I can't believe people post negative things about being innovative ). Technology and musicianship have gone hand in hand since the piano forte and the harpsichord. I think it's amazing. Nice job, dude, and thanks for posting!

At some point it seems like it would just be a LOT easier to learn how to play a keyboard and get a decent synth...lol

[recordmasta001]

looks horrid

[jacosmith86]

wow- the comments on this thread are obviously just great!

[SpaceRitual]

I WOULD agree with you, but when you say "sound produced" you are criticizing the tone of the tone he is using. MIDI allows you to trigger any sound you want, not just an organ sound like this. The possibilities are endless.

I have an instrument similar to this, and its not as clumsy and cumbersome as you think. Its alot more difficult than normal guitar, which I've been playing for 7 years. Its so much fun to play. You should see the reactions I get when I show it to people.

[Hawk9323]

ya, I was thinking you were just saying to try to master in the guitar and not to do much else, which I guess would be alright, many good guitarists do that, but bass and keyboard make some of the best bands also, studying all 3 might take too long, but you can't neglect those instruments a lot of times, you could almost have all 3 on that instrument, good example of a keyboard making the difference would be in groups such as the Doors

emm... i think you should read the comment. Jamming with any musician gives that felling of adrenaline, when you connect with an accomplished musician you really feel alive. This guy looks like he really is toiling to get minimal effect. It does NOT seem worth it musically.

It would be quite gauche to get this thing out at a gig, i personally would cringe.

and yeh hawk... i do know very well that the keyboard exists.
