you hey what's going on everybody I'm Elric and welcome to tech of tomorrow Tech fans music lovers welcome back to another edition of tech of tomorrow now today we've got something a little bit different our tech plate than our usual standard computer type stuff like we are a total technology channel we're not just locked-in devein and today we're going to be talking about technologies that's involved in the music industry now this technology today is called the BAP X full-contact tune-o-matic bridge I know some people set out there take some time for my thoughts to reach my brain you got to remember something I don't actually rehearse any of this stuff I come out and do these videos for you guys raw every single one of them so yeah it does take me sometimes again my thoughts and my brain and take them out my mouth but today we're going to take a look something really cool like I said this is the báb Uxbridge you guys are not going oh okay a bridge like what do we do well you don't cross it it actually has to do with guitar technology now right here in front of me this is my guitar midnight this is a 2013 Les Paul traditional guitar it has the standard bridge that comes with all Gibson guitars sometimes you get one of their Nashville's but this one comes with this particular one and we're going to be removing this bridge and replacing it with this bridge and the reason we're going to be doing that is the Babbitt's bridge makes full contact with the body of the guitar you're going to again well okay what the frak does that mean dude like what does that matter okay so check it out a lot of times with a lot of guitars you get your string tone and you get some tonality out of the strings but picture this I don't know if any of you people out there have ever had like a subwoofers speakers and you put it like on a big wooden desk and all of a sudden the entire desk sounds like this huge frakkin speaker the same thing goes into the idea behind the báb Uxbridge makes full contact with the guitar body which then makes the entire guitar a resonance chamber for the strings much different than any other technology out there and I believe Jeff Babbitt's is the only person that actually has this product out there now I was able to get my hands on two of these products so thanks to the other Jeff and thank you very much sir yeah so we've got two of them we've got a gold one which I'll be putting on another and then we have the Crumlin which I'll be putting on this guitar I actually have another BC rich it's a shadow Pro X mockingbird that's what I'll be sticking on this one but that's another day for today let's talk about this one so this product comes to market about 128 bucks if you go out and buy just a normal type bridge they're like 60 to 70 type dollars but this one has a lot more features you can adjust it a lot more and like I said the really big thing about it is the full contact to the body of the guitar so what I'm going to do right now is we're going to give you samples of me playing this guitar with this bridge and then we're going to film after the technician comes over with me and we're going to install the bridge and then we're going to play you some more and show you the difference so with that said let me jump in just play a little bit of guitar a couple simple Dipple things and then we'll compare those when we change the bridge out to the box full content so let's do a little Rocking you so there you go folks I mean we can do a couple more things with just sustainability like wiping these type of things you can really hear other guitar like I don't know just for shits and giggles so that's the guitar playing with the standard bridge installed in it now I'm just going to play a couple basic notes and stuff so that we can compare them a head-to-head so this right here is the basic opening now you might wonder what I'm doing okay we're going to do is we're going to time how long the note keeps going before it starts to feedback so right about there now we'll try another note down here and then a full nice little full three-quarter thing here more yeah that's right folks we're going to do is we're going to change the bridge out I'm going to come back play that guitar do some of those matching notes and we'll see how the tone and everything changes after the bridge is installed you guys got all this to go from I'll play some of the same similar exact stuff and we'll see how it goes so we'll see in a minute but maybe more since I possess well maybe that's actually a bit of you Mitch but check it out the Bab Uxbridge is installed the total of about 30 minutes was a total time it actually took it on a Gibson Les Paul it couldn't have been any easier your bassist had to loosen up the bolts that are on here on your standard bridge take your old bridge off pop this thing off set all the strings off to the side install the bridge reattach everything and just do your minor adjustments now this one was pretty accurate we just had to do a little bit of measuring along up inside here between the string so we get the perfect you know depth all the way across but actually only two of them had to be adjusted also special thanks to my friend and tech gary under for coming over and helping out with his event it was really cool now I must say now this thing cost about $89 and it looks amazing I mean just look at it it looks totally badass you have to admit it don't even lie to yourself it looks amazing so I mean right off the bat as far as visual goes it's amazing plus now that it's made the entire guitar body a resonance chamber it's really really bold you guys heard before some of the stuff I was playing now we'll do some more play and we'll compare some of the actresses straight notes of stuff so you guys can see how the notes resonate and how long it resonates like a simple chord you you ballsy stuff just all the way around I'm just so much impressed with how well this sounds now I don't like we're going to say oh wow it's not night and day but it's not totally night and day but it is a very nice difference everything's really really warmed up all the notes resonate very nice you can hear that they do resonate a lot longer just in the comparisons like baseline this is a straight chord like this before and you can hear how long the note resonates out it's a lot longer lot wider you hear the bottom in the depth the base of it just keeps going off into the distance there anyways folks I mean I'm pretty impressed with this I have to say that it's not a very expensive thing you can get this for about 89 bucks but wink and everything will be down below in the description where you guys want to check us out if you guys like this type of video a hit that like button I know it's something different than our normal technology but hey this is technology though the bat box bridge is one of the latest greatest things for guitars now obviously guitars have been around probably since you know around what you know like middle England time their guitars and type stuff but still this is one of the latest greatest innovations I give it editor's choice for the price that it is it makes enough of difference in your guitar to make it well worth the upgrade special thanks to Jeff and Jeff over there at Babic for kicking us down these bridges totally appreciated brothers looks good it sounds good I'm a happy fracking camper I'll see you guys a little bit later I got through the rock and roll he with me
