Starr Labs Build Custom Ztar for Phoenix

Of course! Nothing but the best for our Phi Phi!

 

How much exaclty

 

Thats a very slick looking bass!

 

After the first look I assumed it would be around a thousand quids.
But after checking, its over 2000 pounds.

 

Thats awesome. Hopfully it'll allow Phi to show his full potential Live and on the next albums!

 

Is that a game or is it an acutal guitar??

 

It's for the advanced version of Guitar Hero.

 

Is it just me who wants real music, not electronic music?

 

:'D

 

haha Derek owns ya'll

But I know what Chewjacka means though. I personally prefer organic music next to electronic, but when it comes LP, it suits them right to the bone. So I'm not fussed if they keep taking their electronic sound to the next level.

But also aren't electric/distorted guitars still electronic? More reason to bring them back in the next album then!

 

I did some research on these digital Ztars, Kitaras, etc. They're really innovative and they blow my mind.
I hope Phoenix and Brad both get the chance to use these axes 'cause the possibilities on them are endless.
Limiting the Ztar to simple bass sounds would be sort of insulting 'cause it can do so much more.
Apparently all these conservative guitarists are insulting them because they're supposedly "plastic synths."
However, the technology in them blows me away (Touch sensitive screen/frets, tone control, tap vs. strum, piano playability, etc.)
In the name of music, who could not like them?

 

I know what you mean, but just because Phoenix uses this bass guitar now it doesn´t mean that their music will get more electronic. I´m not that familiar with bass guitars, but I´m sure that you can also create a classy, good bass sound with this one.

 

I think what's meant there is that MTM generally had more of a stripped down raw sound than their other albums. The others are very heavily layered, ATS even more so when it comes to certain things. That's all, it's not really to do with how different kinds of instrument work. It's not really something you can apply to them just getting a new instrument though, to me it's more in the way the music is performed and produced than in whatever instruments you use.

 

LP's really never made "real" music. Nobody does. Unless you're playing a song live and acoustically, preferably around a campfire, you're using technology of some kind. I guess the guitar itself is considered technology. Everything else just adds to the fact that music relies entirely on innovative technologies. Mics changed the way the world heard music. Amps changed the way music sounded. And now there are thousands of things that allow people to play different sounds. Just because a certain technological advancement is older, like the amp, doesn't mean someone is making more "real" music if they just use that.
