Steve Di Giorgio Signature Bass SDGB1 | Ibanez

Күн бұрын

Known as one of the most proficient and prolific bass players in extreme music, Steve Di Giorgio’s range extends out from heavy-thrash-death metal, progressing to the technical side of fusion and the fluid & funky field of jazz. While notably performing in Death and Testament, Steve has also established himself as an in-demand studio musician, as his technical and recognizable bass skills have been carved into over 50 albums in his 30 plus year career. When looking for a reliable bass that could adapt to any gig, Steve has trusted his Ibanez BTB models to do the job. So naturally, when designing a new signature model, Steve leaned heavily on many of the key BTB features as the framework for this bass. The final result is the combination of Ibanez’s modern innovations and Steve’s decades of experience - the SDGB.

The Philospher bass solo at 1:45. 30 years ago I bought a fretless bass (mostly) to play this song, which I did (badly, but with pleasure and conviction) at a couple of gigs. Thank you for being an inspiration, M. Di Georgio. And thank you Ibanez (I have also always been a fan of Ibanez gear, I own 2 basses and a whah pedal).

Oh he finally got a signature model, he has been playing Ibanez basses for a while already. It's nice to see a BTB model that has a gloss finish, most have only the open pore natural. Steve is a great bassist that deserves more praise and recognition.

@justmedee 8 ай бұрын

that is a gigantic stretch that doesnt live in the realm of reality, and im a BIG fan of Steve. He has pushed boundaries and carved out his own lane in the world of bass which is much more than most musicians can claim but we really need to be realistic when it comes to definitive top 10s (yes its subjective but sometimes the black and white answers are exactly that). Flea, Les, Vic, Jaco all have confirmed spots. And I know old heads think this is absolute sacrilege but modern players like Charles Berthoud should absolutely be shown respect. Older players will dismiss them because by default acknowledging anything new makes them feel old but bassist like Charles and Davie are doing things on the instrument that have never been done and absolutely could not be achieved by many living bassists. Same goes for other instruments too. Bonham is an all time great and as pivotal/influential as it comes to the history of drumming but in his prime he couldnt dream of playing most of what El Estepario has mastered on the instrument.

@danielcorrigan8805 9 ай бұрын

I've waited my whole life for this. I bought an ESP fretted bass because I loved Steve's playing, and I would have bought a signature if he had one back then. When I go into fretless I got a Warwick 6, once again because Steve didn't have a signature model. If I ever end up getting a new bass this is it.

Steve and Les claypool are the reason i started playing bass. About time he gets a signature model very interesting to see a fretless for a change , curious about the pricetag i like that it doesn''t look toooo flashy like some signatures with bloodsplatters on it or the artist name on the front of it.

This is very very tempting. A six-string version would have been a no-brainer. I’ve been looking for one of the relatively few fretless BTB 6-string fretless models for a good long while, without luck. But very very nice to see Steve Di Giorgio get a signature bass.

@Nikolay_Nikolov 9 ай бұрын

Looks like a really potent instrument, fit for the monster of a player Steve Di Georgio is. BTW, I have noticed quite a while ago that Steve uses a fairly unorthodox technique to mute the lower strings by sliding his thumb underneath. It's perfectly evident on "The Philosopher" solo here. Looks like pretty effective method especially if one has fat pickups that give enough space between the strings and the body. Might give it a try myself as I have even fatter humbuckers on my bass.
