“did i file my nails this morning? eh I’ll bring a pick either way”

I agree completely. I usually get to a point in my daily practise when I start playing with a pick. I'd say I play 75% with fingers though but you can only do so much with human skin!

yeah, playing with fingers is great and it gives you some cool sounds but oh my god is it so goddamn fun to bust out a pick and get your chris squire on

im fingers and thumb myself but a pick gives a tighter sounding note without having to use gadgets,mt friend uses a pick all the time and he's amazing with it,essentially it comes down to the individual.

Agreed

Ibanez made an entire guitar out of brass, it's not a bass but it's the closest you can get

Jerry Mann turns out it is a saxophone

James trussart does some

What kind if stand would you like with your order? We have some browning foots and a german 88mm stand in stock. For any other wishes your order will saddly have to be a bit delayed...

Might sound really pretty and harmonic

That DOES look surprisingly low-key despite the busy laminations.

I see you're a man of culture

Not everyone will get this. Hats off to you mate.

The lol is strong with this one.

@@vinekolladiv4494 I'm sure literally everyone understood "his" joke

lol came from serek to here

Vulcan made, so VERY logical! \\//

Sereks are awesome! Jake already has an 8 month waiting list on orders.

May he live long, & prosper!

Sounded almost exactly like a nice American P-bass but super cool looking!

Repulsiooooooon

And this is why I love bass, because I listened to that bass just now and *hated* it, but that's ok because if it makes another musician happy it's all good with me!

@@yetanotherbassdude​ Ya, it was hideous, but that's just me

@@yetanotherbassdude ok, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded like absolute shit. Glad other people can appreciate it and hear it as gold.

it sounds like a resonator guitar

@@doug440 I'd personally opine that it's kinda clean-nice as far as looks goes, but it sounded buzzy and hollow to my ears. There are other, synthetic materials that sound better, IMO.

Ibanez tmb100, is the bass I'm getting next month first ever

@@danielestrada8932 great choice i strated with an ibanez too. Now i play a partcaster shortscale bass :3

Do I want to pay my rent ...or buy one of these basses?

Adam I think they’re too big to be considered boutique

“Really cool and crazy outside of the box” every single bassist in metal plays one hahaha

Besides like new guys that ply like prog I know like nobody. No classic bands

I’m not buying a Chinese made bass for over $500

B E A N S the drone gods Sunn O))) use some EGC guitars and basses live. Add some good distortion and you have the tone to drone and doom all day

I liked ur frog video

​@@willwallz ME TOO!!! :)

I don’t see how a standard p pickup cannot get that tone. Not to say you’re wrong, I just don’t see why go with serek and a bisonic, especially when those pups are so expensive

Sandberg are custom made in Germany. They have a number of videos on the very matter of how they go about it. I have two of them - incredible value for money.

He should do a similar video about his 2nd car!

@@jcout25 I too was awaiting his comment on which car he chose next!

Also Millimetric Instruments. I'd really love to hear one.

Sounds like the pickup height is way too high

@Toxic Potato Thanks for the clarification. I kind of figured something like that (especially when I saw the fat string is only wound way beyond the bridge).

Brad Olson thats normal with all instruments

Fosforus 15 P/MM.

it's P/J config, the humbucker is at J's position, Stingray's humbucker is much closer to the neck, almost touch the P

Quality control is much better for higher end instruments. You can luck out with a CNC cheap bass but a handmade bass by an experienced luthier will have a much nicer neck and better play-ability on average.

Liam Farley, point well taken and that can often be the case, but I’ve played and heard too many incredibly high priced instruments that just didn’t sound all that wonderful. And any bass can be worked on and set up to play well. If a bass has a stable neck and is properly tweaked by a really terrific luthier I think it fundamentally boils down to finding that one instrument out of many that really plays and vibrates just the right way to sound great. You can find killer boutique basses and also find killer stock, garden variety basses that also can sound fantastic. As I said before, patience and a good ear are ultimately what will lead a bassist to a great ax.

Well said.

Sweet Jesus the pain.

Yeah, not cheap. But 1500 Is gonna break the bank as much as 15000

Isnt

Kyle Crary $150,000 is a stupid unecessary amount for a bass.

@@Not.The_Gallery he said $15,000 not $150,000. okay that's still alot.

@Toxic Potato Oh, for sure. I'm just saying they're pricey as hell lol. I'd kill for an EGC bass

Some of these are less then half of a les paul

This is why we have jobs.

Man, 1000/2000 dollars is expensive but it's beyond imagination to get that kind of money

My thoughts exactly. I think the quality of basses levels off at around $1,000. A $1,000 bass can sound, look, and feel just as good as a $6,000 bass (just as an example).

Pinkus (Butthole Surfers and Melvins) and King Buzzo (Melvins) both love this brand. Here's what they sound like together in a mix. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdyDibuj0LnKomg.html

@Majority of 1 Thanks for the tip. Very interesting. That makes for a unique sound, not something you could use without setting out to make a tone and feel all of your own.

something from glassworks

Kristian Orellana yeah I thought so as well. Love that record

Ah ! I see what you did there😂

And yet it does

On a sidenote, check out "my first car" by vulfpeck. their bassist, joe dart is a beast. There, made the tie between bass and car :)
