panaman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 just watching a truefire tutorial video 50 ultraintervallic licks u must know. Jennifer Batten on Variax all the way through hours. not any noticeable tweaking unfortunately,but consistantly jjust great sounding stuff, aside from the playing which is awesome. great backing tracks as well. there are samples : which variax is this, or does it make a fifference? wonder if other vids of mrs. batten have the variax as well.

Ed_Saxman Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It seems a 69 US heavily customized for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Arkadin Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Custom paint job, replacement pick-ups, new whammy bridge. What's that thing at the nut end? Impossible to say if she's using the modelling or the custom pick-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 She uses it for tapping/sweep picking so that any accidentally touched strings are damped, but it can just be flicked up when you do want open strings to sound, back in the high gain 80's hair scrunchies and similar would be used for this but were not as even or quick to enable/disable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilson69978 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Could I paint my deck with this? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 A great endorcement, she is a top notch player using a Variax is really something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talwilkins Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It seems to be a 69 body and neck with a 89F double locking Floyd Rose tremelo system. She's also using some non standard pickups. Great looking guitar! Nice to see some well known top player using a Variax. Of course, Adrian Belew has been using the Variax electronics in his Parker guitar for a long time.

The neck gotta be custom, the headstock doesn't match the 89f, plus the handwritten "Variax" on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 ... plus the handwritten "Variax" on the headstock. That's an upcharge of $75...$85 if you want it spelled correctly. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panaman Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 so it is not the stock variax i might afford, almost had my mind made up this morning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a 69 body so it's definitely not a 89 neck. Wouldn't fit. You're probably correct that it's a custom neck though, it doesn't look like a stock 69 neck.

talwilkins Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 so it is not the stock variax i might afford, almost had my mind made up this morning... No it's not. The modelling will sound exactly the same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to say if she's using the modelling or the custom pick-ups. Seems it also has a Fishman tripleplay installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
