It's amazing how much they have improved from their early days. 15 years ago Bentons were cheap, but mostly just utter crap. Today, they are still cheap, but can absolutely destroy other brands at the same price range. I personally liked Cort the most in this video, but Ibanez and HB were right there on the same level. Squier doesn't sound bad either. But only one of them costs 130$..

Instead of an hour telling jokes and stories, followed by rave reviews for everything, you just play the instruments and point out what a buyer should expect, since nobody is going to spend an hour inspecting and setting up a bass in this price range. Even the close-up photography was really good. Thanks.

@@rookmaster7502 imo it'll work well for punk or indie, Also. It's better to have a naturally brighter sound so if you'd like you could turn it down with an EQ than boost something that isn't really there, I reckon by also just switching where the right hand plays could make it sound less brighter if it was more closer to the bridge. At the end of the day it depends on taste really but definetly usable for most things as long as mixing is on point

The Ibanez is the first bass I’ve bought and the only one I have so far. So worth the money. I’ve used it for rock, metal, reggae, funk/disco, blues, jazz etc and it’s never let me down. It’s the most comfortable bass I’ve ever played, it lets you play your chops freely if you want to play some Victor Wooten/ Stanley Clarke kinda licks too, comfortable all the way up the neck, eq controls are perfect. Great bass for the price

It should be noted that the cost of the Ibanez is $50 higher because it’s a GSR200SM, and not the standard finish GSR200. A standard finish GSR200 is only $199 which using your scoring system brings it up to a 211 which puts it above the Squire.

I'd recommend for anybody who wants to really become a bass player but has very little money to just buy a squier. Mainly because you can see the quality and you have the compatibility with so many aftermarket parts. Also it's a good idea to get used to that standard fender shape and neck feel. Many basses are based of that and it's just a good idea. If you eventually get bored with the sound or you want to make upgrades you dont have to buy a completely new bass.

This scoring system is brilliant. This should become the youtube standard for instrument assessment. Obviously, the scoring would have to change for guitar, but this system is scalable. Really impressive! Glad this vid showed up in my feed. Instantly subscribed.

I'm not so sure about that. The way he calculated the value means cheap instruments will always have a high value, even if they are terrible. That glary was the worst bass by far but came in 2nd for value. But how valuable is a bad instrument really?

I have to agree that this isnt the best method, there is absolutely no way the Glarry is in anyway better than the Ibanez, this method makes a good affordable bass with great features to its credit seem bad just because the value isnt ideal, having said that the actual price of that GSR model is 199 right now, unless he's adding a gig bag, strap or stand cost to that, which i doubt. My faves are definitely the Ibanez and the Harley, im actually seriously considering getting the GSR.

Awesome demo, Nate. \m/ the Ibanez gsr200 is my personal favorite. That bass sounds killer for a budget bass. Especially with distortion. I do like the blue finish on the cort action bass and I also dig the sounds from the squire and Harley Benton basses.

I was blown away by the Cort when I got it, and a year later am even more in love. Last bass I had - years ago - was a Kramer. I got back into playing and finally really trying to learn when my kids gave me the Cort for a pandemic lockdown birthday present. Wow! The build quality is exceptional, the tone, playability and overall sound (except for the bridge pup on it’s own) very good, and it’s so comfortable to play. I thought that if I carried on playing I’d eventually grow out of it. No way. If anything, may replace the bridge pickup... but I’m enjoying the hell out of it as is
