Rig Doctor Invading My YouTube Feed!!

Ok, I admit it...this guy annoys me. For a while, I didn't know why. But now, it's settled. The reason is in the way he talks, the way he presents himself. There's an aire of arrogance and cockiness about him. I mean, it's one thing to be confident...but I don't think this is confidence. I think it's just...umm..."being a dick"? Considering the controversy over Vertex pedals over the years, the reason that's the case is pretty self-explanatory. Guy is a poser.

 

[szukalski]

For me, he’s the guy who talks the right talk until you try to get some depth and then realise it’s all regurgitation.

This is the video that made me realize that very thing. Don Carr seems to ask the right questions...but Mason's answers just scream BULLSHIT...and judging by Carr's response, I think he realizes it too. But he just does his best, nods his head, and keeps trucking on with the video.

 

[BuddytheReow]

He reminds me of Jack Black

I have said this before but he calls himself uncle mason or some shit and talks in the third person occasionally.

What you don’t see in his videos is the windowless van parked outside with the bowl of candy in the front seat.

I love it when you guys shit on fools that I don't respect in the industry.

 

[JamieJ]

I agree. He does talk some shit and a lot of people seem to blindly follow. I would never buy a vertex pedal.

Err…Box of Rock is ZVEX. Kinda sorta in the same camp…but Zach Vex actually knows his shit. He’s just arrogant about it.

I always get those two mixed up

 

[grabo99]

YES I 100% agree with you OP. I can't stand this guy. He seems like the kind of person that tells people to "get a real guitar, not an import" that we all knew in high school and middle school. Dude's only friends are cables.

 

[PunchySunshine]

His creepy old self given nickname was "Uncle Mason"....yikes ya pedo!

 

[Feral Feline]

“…Ehm- kay two…”
Does he not understand ”Mk” is a written abbreviation for “Mark”.

Probably says “ten ehm-ehm” for “10mm”, too.

Ha! Jack Black if he was a pretentious dick.

He’s not?

Kidding. I really don’t know one way or the other what Mr Black is like, I just know he married the daughter of one of my bass heroes. Found that out via a blurry vid of Haden & Friends playing “Ol’ Joe Clark” and Black bouncing around like a lunatic on the stage singing and I’m thinking “How the hell did Jack insinuate himself into the proceedings?”
Can’t find the vid now, of course…

 

[ADAOCE]

This guy sucksssss. I barely made it halfway through that video.

 

[Many__Of__Horror]

I am not a violent man, but this fool makes me want to be

 

[fig]

Seriously, if you don't like the guy just say so.

 

[pcb rookie]

Wow ... that was an exhausting 12 minutes .

I actually own one though its been disguised so you can't tell what it is. I was looking for a BBE wah and one of the members of the fretboard forum offered me a vertex (BBE wah in drag) he'd been trying to sell when the scandal kicked off and it became practically worthless overnight. I think he sold it to me for £25 in the end. I removed the vertex logo and spray painted the top. It actually sounds great. BBE did a fantastic job with them.
