Ibanez JS1CR - Childhood dream realised!
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.2 года назад
When I was about 15 or 16, the first Ibanez Chromeboy by Joe Satriani made its debut. Since then it's been the holy grail of all guitars for me. I was immediately in love and knew it wasn't something I could probably get any time soon. Finally.... at 46 years of age now, I have the latest iteration of that guitar. New run, better and tougher finish but mostly the same look. I love it so much.
Surprise Car for Our Daughter

In early 2018, I told my daughter, who was about to start high school, that if she got through with all A's and B's, I'd get her a car by the time she could get her license. Well..... she did it. She works hard and she deserves this.

Mucking about with Tiltbrush for the first serious time. It's pretty amazing and whilst the video isn't the best quality, in the headset, it's rad. This gives you a good idea though.

Our two new Kittens. Both Maine Coon cats. Half Brother and Sister sharing the same father. They're very timid at the moment whilst trying to get accustomed to their new surroundings, and each other. I'm sure I'll get plenty of playful videos once they come out of their shells. For now, they're remaining fairly inactive and just looking around and taking it all in their stride.

It's not going to make you play any better
No shit Sherlock
E o nome dessa banda com a música de fundo?? Alguém pôde me falar o nome???
Could you please help me with a question? What to put in the paint to make it have this reaction??
It’s an enamel paint specifically designed for marbling on water called “magic marble”. Do it in dry warm weather and have the water at around 27°c (78°f) as the paint skins off fast and you have to move quick.
@@L1VE3V1L I don't know English well but I'll try to translate your explanation, thank you very much
Beautiful painting ❤❤❤
where did you get the droppers? Hobby Lobby?
My mate gave them to me so I don’t know really sorry. I rinse them out with turps after finished and reuse them over and over.
Yes indeed! I waited 30 years too. in the process of swapping the humbucker out for a chrome SatchUr8®
I contemplated this as I love the chrome pups BUT I’m just gonna keep it stock.
how do you scale it
Tiltbrush has a scaling item so you just basically pinch zoom down to the human size then can go up to elephant size
Quiet Riot's younger brothers Cavazo and Sarzo...great stuff!!
What kind of paint did you use and did you put it in water?
Magic marble neon colours. Regular tap water heated to 27c or 80f, no borax required. Move fast as it skins off very quickly. Also try and ensure a warm day do the air is as close to water temp as possible. Did one one a cold night once and it skinned off immediately. I suspect that was the reason.
Does that chrome finish scratch and smudge easily?
From my understanding, these are made using the same technique as Satch’s, so each one will have a varying unique imperfections due to the manufacturing process. It’s real chrome that’s been adhered to the body, and naturally, those two don’t bond. Over time, it’ll get some characteristics that you can’t avoid.
These new chromeboys are coated with a spray system, almost certainly alsacorps "chrome fx". It is an amazing process, it is a conductive metallic coating that is sprayed on and can peel off like a foil. It is clear coated with a special sort of self healing coating. Thats the very slight orange peel texture you can see. It is far more durable than the original js10ths etc but not indestructible.
I thought it was goin to turn out redder then that
Curious how long you had to wait from order to delivery? Ordered mine in March this year and wasn't delivered until 2 weeks ago.
I was lucky. A friend of mine messaged me that one was in the shop here in Western Australia. I think it was only one of about three that came over on the initial run. So I decided it was time to pony up the dough.
Looks absolutely amazing, great work!
Thank you! Cheers!
My God! it's so freakin beautiful!!!
Wow that is a nice looking guitar! 🤩😎🤘🏻🎸 congrats on your purchase. I too have Ibanez rg guitars along with Ibanez soundgear basses and they’re definite keepers.
Great stuff mate. Congrats! 👊 I too have been dreaming about owning one of these things for 30 years. Mine isn’t due to be with me until early November though(!) 😭
Mate they play unbelievably well. I did one live gig with the band with it and that same gig the drummer knocked the bass over getting in behind his kit and it fell over and punched a hole in my acoustic with the tuning peg. The Chromeboy stays home in his case now. 😂😂😂😂 In pristine condition. You’re gonna love it.
hey gents, i think they may be discontinued now but i might try track one down. Ive wanted one of these for 20 years. Is it worth it? any thoughts?
It’s beautiful to play but in all honesty, it is a case queen and hardly gets out into the free air. I just don’t want to ruin it’s pristine condition although I said I would. 😂
This makes perfect sense... Now I understand why you want a Cybertruck! 😏
Damn Straight. And you just KNOW there'll be a photo of me standing in the tray with this on. I shall ride through the gates of Valhalla, shiny and chrome!
Nice job! I like the bottom horn.
I’m normally not a fan of music playing in how-to videos, but I like the music! I’m a 68 year old and I like Led Zeppelin, The Who, 60’s bubblegum, Mozart and do-wop. I also like this soundtrack 😁
Thanks man. It’s great to be able to have some music I can put on that won’t get my videos ripped off RUclips.
Nice color combo!!! Awesome

Nice one James! 👍 I had no idea you were a RUclipsr! *subscribed*
👍👍👍👍😎😎
I want black light colors
I've been trying to get it all right but always fail I think it's the water here. The eggy water hydrogen. Sulfide. Wish you'd tell me what paint you got and if thinner and what temp. You got it at.
Try rainwater if you can, or blend in some to regular hard water. Check the video description for other details on this particular swirl.
to much black
Perfect amount.
Nice what color you use and what water use
Just found this. Great video and excellent soundtrack - major earworm! Hope you guys are still playing.
Excellent Compilation of " Incidents " and Excellent Music too .
Thanks man. Interestingly this video got pulled for copyright of both the music and visuals as well, but once Amazon bought it, it was reinstated. I guess they liked the free publicity and Carpenter Brut must’n’ve had an issue with their music being used either? 🤷♂️ Dunno. Either way, happy that it’s back. God I love this show and am a huge fan of CB’s music. More than happy to promote both.
3:13 was an absolutely FANTASTIC addition, perfect.
Cheers man.
Amazing 🤘🤩
Fuckin awesome.
Hola excelente trabajo. Que pintura usan? El agua está fría o templada? Gracias
Check the video description. It has all the details to do this.
@@L1VE3V1L muchas gracias. No había prestado atención al detalle. Excelentes trabajos. Voy a ver si me sale 🤣💪👌
Probé pero la pintura se va al fondo. Pintura acrílica. Leí la descripción pero nunca ocurrió ni parecido lo que ví en el vídeo. Saludos
Brilliant 🥰
Perfect, very impressive
So by “truckloads of prep” you mean the swirls really show every blemish 🤣 i was wondering if i could hide some little dings.
It’s more the clear coat really for that glassy smooth finish. More prep the better.
Like others have said, that came out real nice. If I use this technique this video will for sure be my reference.
Check the description on the vid for more details on how we did it. Had a LOT of fails though. It’s a trying artform that’s for sure.
like it! im gonna learn it too. any tips on strumming? you lifting a finger on the C or F chord can I ask? :-)
James can you tell of paint you use to make this magnificent swirling? thank you.
Magic marble
@@L1VE3V1L thank you
Ok I know this is a 3 year old post but hopefully you are still responding to this. I just found tour video and is probably one the best out there. I have one question. So My son and I are attempting to hydro his guitar. Its a build it yourself guitar. So it’s primed and ready to go. I’m purchased easy marble using black, white, silver and black. So before I dipped the guitar I was gonna try it on some scrap wood. Well I dropped two colors in the water and made only four circles to practice so I was pretty quick. By the time I used a small piece of wire to make the swirls in had already created a film which caused the paint to stick to the wire. Will a cooler temp water make it dry fast. It was out of the tap and had sat for about three hours. Not sure the temp but cool to the touch. It’s over 70degrees F and the the garage temp is about 90 degrees.
It’s a mongrel for drying fast so the only other advice I can think of is to try and make the water less “hard”. Scheme water is full of crap so maybe dilute it with some rainwater, half and half. I haven’t tried that yet but will on the next attempt. And also maybe have another person at the ready to drop paint via a pipette, and be colour in each hand, and the same for you and work out a plan to do it as fast as you can. You simply cannot waste a second once it comes out of the pipette.
So I tried it again and it came out much better. Not exactly like I wanted but my son loves it! Thanks for the advice.
@@TXSteve320 I’m a beginner myself really.
Amplificador Marshall code?
I tried My first Hydro dip on old Peavey Foundation Bass. Gray base coat. Used Majic Marble paints and, well needless to say, Back to the drawing board. Didn't get full coverage and the magic marble bubbled. Any suggestions? Did bubbling occur due to water temp?
This is insane! Fantastic!
Hey James, I hope you see this comment. Thanks for these video uploads. I've watched a few. So the problem I'm having is the paint skinning too quickly. I'm using Magic Marble paints. Did you ever figure out "the trick" for this? You simply have to work fast? I saw your comment below where you describe running into problems when doing the Explorer body because the receptacle was much larger. I have a 100 gal Rubbermaid plastic bin I'm going to do it in, I've seen a few other videos where people did it in this thing. But I've been doing test runs on small pieces of wood in a smaller kitchen bowl and the paint is drying way too fast. I can't imagine how difficult it will be doing it in a giant tub. It will take longer to drop in all the paint and it'll start drying I guess. Thank you!
Funnily enough, I have a new guitar I want to swirl any day now and I haven’t done any swirling till basically after I uploaded this video. It’s a super frustrating and soul destroying artform….. but when you pull off a great swirl it’s worth it. Now magic marble…… notoriously tricky to work with but nowhere near as troublesome as figuring out what enamel paints to use, amount of borax, how much to thin the paints down etc….. But with the convenience of Magic Marble the biggest downside is skinning off fast. Here’s my plan in the coming days. 1: make sure you have another person, or even two handy, with pippettes at the ready to do the paint drops. I’m gonna use the kids this time. Give them an order of colour drop in the drum and placement. 2: going to try indoors and utilise the aircon system to bring the air temperature to the same as the water temperature because sometimes I think the paint skins so fast hitting either the cold air or cold water. So I’ll be heating the water to 26c as well as the room I’m doing it in. If you have warmer weather happening then outside may be fine. 3: our tap water is extremely hard water. Another factor I reckon. Going to use demineralised water or rainwater, definitely no scheme water. Apart from these changes, the only recommendation is to MOVE FAST! (Even the videos on the tube show it skinning quickly, hopefully these additions I’m putting in to my wheelhouse here add precious seconds of time)
I’ll do another video if I can be arsed.
Sounds like I need to do some practice runs before I dive right in 🤔. I've done this before a long time ago like once or twice and I could never be happy with the outcome. About the drying maybe it's the paint or the outside humidity. I know if it's really dry and hot paint will start to dry faster. If its cooler and the humidity level isn't too low paint will dry slower. I know this because I once painted an airplane interior, and when I opened the doors to let air in to get rid of the smell. I came back and the overhead bins looked like a scene from a scary movie where the walls are melting. I took a horrible delay that night. But learned that because it was hot a humid outside and inside the airplane the AC was running it caused a lot of condensation. Sorry for the long story. Just curious how things worked out for your paint. I'm using testers enamel paint and I plan on thinning it by half.
I've recently learned you need to dip within 3 minutes of putting Magic Marble on the surface. Makes sense to me as the last couple of failures I had, I was pissing about with it too much.
Wonderful job!
This video deserves more attention
thank you. It was my very first and possibly last attempt at video editing. :P
@@L1VE3V1L Keep on with it, do it for fun and then it'll never be boring.
@@MrPlatin Id just gotten into Carpenter Brut's music and this song inspired me to do the video. gives me goosebumps.
I downloaded this it’s all installed on my oculus too, I love poker but I can’t seem to proceed when I get inside the casino, my controllers are working but then I’m just stalled what is the trick to this? It’s very frustrating
Got to your watch in game and open it up, look for the tab that says tables, and go through the list of open tables, but be sure to check they aren’t already full. It’ll say 8/8 if full.
Great vocals! So classic and oldschool
Lovely song, what's it called?
Sorry for the late reply 😂 It’s Carpenter Brut, and the song is called Hang ‘em All. Highly recommend you checking out all his stuff. There’s no songs I skip.
Looks way better than most swirls out there. Nice Job. Should have played Purple Haze as the outro.
