My favorite bass reviewer. Not just because he's a monster player and a real likable down to earth guy, but because he covers all of the different possible sounds of an instrument. I'm never left wondering what a certain combination would sound like. Simple as it would seem, he's one of the very few to do this.

Fender should have hired Ed to head the marketing efforts for the Dimension series. We'd probably still have them today if so.

No wonder they hire you to demo. You make me want to buy every bass you play. (G&L LB-100 is at the front of the queue though.)

Thanks, Ed. I'm glad this video is on YT. I bought this guitar with this finish. It sounds just like this one you played. I also bought the 4 string for our Drop C tuning. I use Rotosound strings for that edgy sound and deep voice that they get. My only complaint is that the neck is a bit wide. I cut my chops on a Rickenbacker 4001 back in the day, and I am almost considering getting the Ric 5 String. But I think you've convinced me to stay with these.

Thanks Ed. Great journalism as always. Maybe do us a solid and give us a sense of the weight of the basses you review. Some of our backs are getting rickety and a bass' weight is important info to know - and often hard to find. Thanks!

Would you say it fills in the void between jazz bass and pbass? I love the tone and how punchy it sounds. Seems very versatile and best of all worlds?

A tonal place between (and not a copy of!!!) a Stingray, a Precision Bass, and a Jazz Bass, and for that reason, love it. And if it’s not enough of a Stingray sound, or a Precision sound, or a Jazz bass sound then BUY ONE OF THOSE in a product market awash with those options.

Great demo. Just grapped one. Does anyone happen to know if the humbuckers are wired in parallel or series. Sounds like parallel to me.

Does anyone know how many conductors the pick ups in this series have? It would be great to wire up some different coil combinations. I find one switch per coil most intuitive.

Awesome, I'm like #420 lol honestly there's a lot more going on with the dimension basses that they don't get credit for. They really seem to be underrated and have a lot going for them.

@DigBipper1889 жыл бұрын
james tom it's got a LOT more low end punch as well as tonnes more output.... what would be cool is to use a coil tap method and get an even more jazz bass like tone from it... but it's not really necessary... just a cool addition of it happens...
@JimmyTeeee9 жыл бұрын
ThEcRaZ3dGaM3R from what i can hear it has amazing clarity, especially in the low end, most basses in 5 string config loose much of that clarity in the low end. And this is passive too......a bit like g&l...
@DigBipper1889 жыл бұрын
james tom it's very G&L Like,,, the B string is well pronounced and it's defo a clear sounding instrument... it comes up close to a Yamaha BB2025X for sound... just that the pickups are semi-active so have more high end... but that's a big help for tone!
