Win a set of Tosin’s signature Fishman Fluence pickups: http://bit.ly/WinFishmanFluence
Since our 2013 episode with AAL, guitarist Tosin Abasi has gone back in time (or technology) to use traditional tube heads and pedals, while fellow 8-stringer Javier Reyes continues down the digital rabbit hole with the powerful Fractal Axe-Fx II. Watch as they break down (and demo their) setups with PG’s Perry Bean for over 60 minutes.
Inspired by the recent spur of ergonomic guitar designs and custom builds he’s played, Tosin has been working with Ibanez on this all-original body for his latest signature that’s been in the prototype stage for over a year. Although it is an 8-string guitar, it has a major belly scoop to reduce heft and increase playability. It has a fanned-fret neck that allows the bass strings to have a longer scale length (27), while the treble strings are on a traditional scale (24.75). Tosin prefers the sound of bolt-on guitars (and acknowledges that this will reduce production cost) and it is loaded with his signature Fishman Fluence pickups. Tosin uses D’Addario NYXL custom 8-string sets (.0095-.074) and Dunlop .73 mm signature picks (similar to a Jazz III, but slightly larger).
Javier Reyes recently scored this custom-made ESP Vintage Plus 8-string that has a gold Floyd Rose trem and a features the same neck profile and inlays that are on his current ESP signature model. It is equipped with a custom set of DiMarzio single-coils. He uses D’Addario NYXL custom 8-string sets (.0095-.074) and Dunlop .73 mm signature picks (similar to a Jazz III, but slightly larger).

30:00 sounds like something outta Death Stranding, beautiful
27:08 plays meshuggah lol (obzen breakdown)
God, Javier is becoming one of my favorite guitar players!
That song at the intro is one of the heaviest things ive ever heard ????
I love Tosin a lot, but that sig guitar is absolutely horrid looking. And im also sad that Tosin thinks a bolt on neck makes a difference in sound from a through neck.
27:10 Tosin playing Meshuggah “Marrow”
But he cant play blues ????
27:03 omfg I need a Friedman pedal
Edit: got one now I need the strymon big sky
Reason i bought friedman be od deluxe.
Im a huge AAL fan, but I wonder what they would sound like NOW if Chebon Littlefield came back on bass. I watched a Matt G. Cribs where he was like, Why cant AAL have a singer? and Im thinking Why cant AAL have a bass player!!! Such a great band, though. Love and kudos to Tosin, Javier and Matty G!
I like how Tosin is so good he cuts himself of with his guitar playing 25:49
my fave part of the video is where Tosin plays like 700 riffs each from different songs over the last 10 years of the band like AYOOOO I rememba that one
the 3 different plane neck is interesting
The interviewer clearly doesnt have the knowledge base to deal with Tosin Abasi lmao @14:25

Tosin is one of my favorite guitar players no doubt, but the constant up-talk is really annoying. That manner of speaking should be left to annoying girls and affected women. It's f*uck1ng weird to listen to a man speaking like that. I wonder if he's gay though.
This guy is what guitar needs
