If you're looking for some questions to ask him I have one. I'm wondering if they plan on (in a future firmware update) allowing us to manipulate our wavemaps created by Tonedexter from a PC. I'll explain further. Right now if you export your wavemaps from Tonedexter to your pc they're basically for backup purposes only. They export as a .wm file. I'm assuming that this is their own exclusive file type. I tried all my audio software programs to open it and none worked. I have one guitar with a wolf note that amplifies badly. With Jonfields IR, I was able to add my own notch filter to the IR which eliminates it completely. It would be nice to be able to do this with Tonedexter wavemaps as well. Yes I can notch it out after the fact but not having to do that would be even better. Yes I've been spoiled! Quote:

Years ago, I bought a black RainSong T-shirt and still have it, so along with the new one that's coming, all I need now is a new RainSong guitar!

Enjoyed the program! I thought I knew a lot about RainSong guitars, but definitely learned some things.

Since I geek out on this kind of stuff I pretty much knew everything stated in the video about RainSong. i also acquainted myself with Emeralds history and was shocked to hear that they nearly went under at one point. Thank you Aaron for doing this video with Dave- I've spoken with Dave via email a few times, a classy guy for sure.
I knew it wouldn't be long before this thread went into another discussion about the RainSong necks. I've said before that I had a love/hate relationship with that NS neck. Oddly comfortable in the first positions but pretty clubby as you move up- and it's a real PITA to find a good capos for them, especially when you use partial capos like I do. (BTW, I don't even need to buy a Thalia to know I wouldn't like them- way too bulky and look super heavy). i'm a Shubb fan and even the classical Shubb with a flat radius didn't fit the Shorty very good. I really love their guitars though and my Shorty is the only guitar I ever regret selling. Aaron, you make a great point in the video that there probably isn't a universal neck that most buyers would consider "perfect". I will say that I liked the NS neck slightly better than the neck on the Mcpherson Sable, so there is that. You just have to try them. That video makes me consider giving RainSong another try

With any luck a company as small at RainSong will still be able to keep operating through this current mess? Maybe? Not sure what the shutdown criteria is right now in the various areas of the US.
Up here they would be shutdown right now unfortunately. Interesting times right now to say the least.

I think we would consider any guitar manufacturer "essential"

Dagnabbit, I knew I shouldn't watch that whole video. Now that jumbo Nashville is haunting me.
Edit: Had to grab my X30 fan fret and those Nashville cravings have now passed. But, that was a close call. I may even dig out my Breedlove blond jumbo and get a little helping of wood to help put a lid on the gas bubbles.

@AeroUSA
Thanks for posting the vid. Too bad I missed the live stream. I had a few questions for Dave about the vintage series that would have been nice to ask. I own 2 Rainsongs (2009 Jumbo N1 neck, 2018 Parlor N2 neck) and it was interesting to learn the history of the Rainsong name and the shark inlays. On another note: I use the G7th Newport capo's (normal, parial 3 and partial 5) on both my rainsongs and really like them. They are a shubb style (clamp and thumbscrew tightening) and, for me, they work equally well on the N1 and N2 neck. The N2 does 'stretch the limits' up at the 7th fret but the Newport partial 5 still works in that region for the tunings and songs I play. The G7th newports are really lightweight and sleek. Easy to reach behind the partial capo, 6th sting, at the same fret position the capo is clamped. Give it a try, if you haven't already. |
