Schecter Guitar Research

Kind of Rammstein-y.

Just like massive... production, we're kind of talking about that, and then that's kind of how Witness to Addiction came about, and I might have written on the A string, I don't entirely remember, but it definitely, the A definitely sparked that song, for sure, because that was, that standard F, that's super low, but it was tracked with a 6 string though, for sure, it was definitely tracked on a a Schecter, uh, semi-string.

Uh, I think the, the C7.

Um, but yeah, that, that guitar and then the A-string definitely sparked that song.

Like as you saw this week, I did an independent video.

I did the Schecter that's behind me.

I bought that.

I bought a bunch of guitars and I'm doing some independent videos.

I got to look again.

1991 Ibanez universe and swirl.

And then we have the guitar I did this week, which is the Schecter.

uh, Omen Extreme with the limited edition Kona finish, uh, sustain, so those are the guitars of On the Wall this week, so, uh, it's gonna be, uh, one of those things, like, this is fun until it's not, kind of skits on the, on the show, everybody's gonna be like, it's because there's only so many guitars that can rotate in and out, so, um, okay, uh, let's see, um, Okay, let's do this one.

And then ESP, I guess, could be put in there.

And then eventually, you know, Schecter wasn't even a guitar company.

They made parts.

I remember having a catalog.

I hope everybody had a lot of fun listening to that.

And I want to talk, I have a quick shout out to our sponsors at Jim Dunlop, jimdunlop.com and Schecter Guitars at schecterguitars.com.

Appreciate them supporting the podcast and allowing me to do weird dumb crazy crap like a just a complete episode on rickenbacker bases with my brother so appreciate everybody for listening and we'll talk to you next episode

That's the point of... making sure filtering.

And like I said, for years, a company that's most recent in the last couple of decades that got a great reputation right away was Schecter Guitars.

And they got that reputation, not because world manufacturing was building their guitars and world is perfect.

The reason why world manufacturer was held in high regard was because Schecter was buying guitars from them.

And then opening those boxes in Long Beach, I think it's Long Beach, but it's in California, and having techs go through the guitars and anything that was any problem issues, they would address them.

And if it was a severe enough problem, they would B-stock those guitars and they would sell them to a, I believe somebody in New York.

I can't remember.

It was some like dealer who was just buying up all the B-stocks, okay? So when you got a Schecter, you were just used to seeing a really good guitar because of the fact that you're like, wow, this is really nice.

They have so much for us bass players.

And, uh, Schecter Guitars at schecterguitars.com. And we will see you on the next episode.

[upbeat music] [slide whistle]

He is a, an absolute bass genius.

Koon says, "The guitar sounds super clean and is played on the turquoise Schecter custom Telecaster.

It sounds like they didn't use a guitar amp, but plugged straight into the console using the middle pickup, a Gibson P-90 that was added by Jethro Tull's original bassist, Glenn Cornick.

[camera clicks] I love the D minor 9 chord Jack plays in the verses.

Cesar takes us through living in LA and their current tour schedule, which is a lot of fly dates, and he describes growing up in El Paso and his musical history.

Cesar talks gear, both for fly dates and road gigs, and what he has at home, and he tells us about his relationship with Schecter, which has run its course, and his current relationship with Jackson EVH, that is his guitar amp of choice, and he describes his pedals.

Cesar discusses his first real band, Pissing Razors from El Paso, that eventually led to him as a member of Ministry, and the intricacies of learning the Ministry catalog.

Finally, Cesar tells us about what he does in his off time, spending with family, hiking, and exploring nature.

Of course.

Yeah.

And, and d- so what about the Schecters, your, your, your model Schecters?

No longer.
