correction regarding 7:22 - there was something completely different in the boxes... not even Elricks. I should read my emails more carefully ;)

I've hidden my creditcard before watching this video!

Thanks for the incredibly kind words! Releasing the BASSRIGs has been an absolute joy, seeing it finally make its way into peoples hands after years in development is great. We promise we won't leave bass players hanging quite as long this time, stay tuned throughout this year!

Wow! Thanks so much for including our NS Pulse II basses in this excellent video. We really appreciate the kind words and support. Wishing you a fantastic 2023!

I feel like watching this channel makes me a better bass player! Keep it up, this is so precious

Excellent video, Gregor. Thank you so much for including the Atlas Compressor. It means a whole lot coming from you. Long live, Bass the World!

I would like to say, that year by year your channel is getting better and better. Marvelous gear, marvelous player. Thanks all.

the origin effects svt bassrig is my favourite pedal, that i bought 2022. sounds 90% like my svt2, but is small and easy to carry. fantastic for a touring/live-playing musician.

I knew that Two Notes pedal was going to be the honorable mention item. Good choice. I wish I needed one.

Thanks for another year of great content

I don't remember if it came out in 2022 or not but the best pedal I personally bought was the empress bass comp. Incredible pedal!

Interested to see a Top Ten list (if not done already) of best of all time gear.

That orange bass without dot inlays, a whole roasted maple neck more matching to the orange and perhaps some chrome tuners and bridge with a white pick guard. That would be a looker. Or a patchwork body with orange, green and purple with orange and white pickups and perhaps a PJ. Beautiful basses btw!

I had my hands on the ibanez btbs... I could not get myself up to buying one... I was looking for a multiscale for some time and tested the 805, the 605, and a dingwall. Got stuck on the dingwall in the end. I don't know why, but I just felt better with the 34 to 37 than the 35 to 37 of ibanez. Plus, i found the dingwall more comfortable. I had my hands on the ehb 1505 as well. In the end, I would recommend trying out scales and spacing on multiscales in a shop. As good as any of these basses are, multiscale is something you need to check out and find the one you like most.

Your channel makes me happy. Awesome work. Highly entertaining and informative. Thank you for sharing.

I would love to see a smaller version of the Two Notes ReVolt Bass (maybe just 1 or maybe 2 channels) and 9v

Ohh my word, those Spectors😍😍😍

Excellent recap of 2022 in Bass and wished for 2023.

The Origin BassRIG Pedal Super Vintage (Ampeg) It´s great! I have one and is the closest I´ve heard to an Ampeg. I compared back and forth with my SVT 2 pro. This pedal and a Digital poweramp o maybe a class d amp and you are set

Obviously a good year for BTW....when Gregor is wearing a Bell & Ross watch....

Great video! Happy 2023 with lots of inspiring reviews.

So many engaging news at the end. I'm thinking about buying a 4 string Jazz in the future but always wanted it with rosewood/something near like pau ferro. Another model with those pickups would be great on the list.

Thanks for a great year Gregor! Keep doing great reviews! Love it.

Nice video! Please review the Glockenklang 15" bass cab that you mentioned in a previous video!!

Thanks Gregor 🎸🎸🎶🎶

Happy New Year! Thanks for a year of great videos! Please keep it up!

Greetings... where can i get the Dogal hellborg strings ? I cant find them for sale..

Have you guys reviewed the Jad Freer Capo 2 channel bass preamp/drive yet?

Love the channel and your demo players are fantastic, I wish I was that good. :)

Great Video as usual....one thing I would love to see this year is a quality high end bass dedicated multiffects pedal. Basically like my old boss GT6B which has metal housing, knobs for parameter changes ,not menus....Id love to send my old one to boss and say, "give it a new brain" LOL

Please make video about swr mobass😃

First, I'd like to thank you for all the great videos you've done & continue to do. They provide a great wealth of informative content. But I must take issue with your choice of #1, the Sandberg BassTheWorld model. It could be put together using the best components but that style bridge (shockingly poor choice) instantly disqualifies it from occupying #1 for any category with the exception of bass with worst bridge ever.

What on EARTH is that bass line at 8:45 ?! I remember loving it when the original origineffects video dropped, but this reminded me all over again!

A sub-$1k version of your BTW J-J bass would be absolutely fantastic. Love the way it seems to downsize the J-bass shape a little bit yet is still J. So go for it please! It's what I've been waiting for, I'll deffo order one. Btw never forget blue and green, the great forgotten colours!

I wanna drink a nice glass of beer with this guy someday!

Yes-Cort/Fodera! They would not be able to make enough of them!

Nice review, as a builder of basses that are interesting ideas but poorly executed here are my plans for 2023, feel free to steal any concepts you find interesting: 1. Finishing my Single pick-up fretless 4, the pick up is mounted on rails so you can physically change its position. 2. Finishing my quadrophonic 4 string with Kahler bass tremolo bridge. This uses a 5 pin xlr as it has a line per string for different effects loops. 3. Finishing my 3 string sub-bass BEA but with stupid thick strings tuned down an octave from normal & almost inaudible by humans even with 4 powered 200W 18" sub-woofers. 4. Starting the 5m, inaudible fundamental, single string (monochord) bass drone with fixed e-bow. If I finish any it will be a miracle but I'll let you know and you can invite me over with it for a nice idea but poorly executed review of more experimental, less commercial bass ideas.

Can´t understand that there are no active bass cabinets out there. As far as i know. Bergantino made one for a short while. We have an incredible selection of preamps where we can choose from. And than we have to bring our regular bassamp also to run the aditional preamp(s). Would like to see there options.

Aye! Lovely. Left handed Sandberg Basstheworld Bass please?

I hope Harley Benton would come up with a new 6 string bass of their progressive series with a 35 inch scale and a new look from the previous model.

Ooooh I’d love an Electra Orange Bass the World bass in a 5 string!

A great year for the Cort brand and the Cortek factory.

WOW! This is a REALLY GOOD top ten. 😎👍👍

I love the sound of my BTB bass, but the wide neck is hard on my fingers.

Love these vids!

Would love to see F Bass collaborate with Cort.

my personal wish for 2023 - tube amp with output between 50 - 80W to cope with deaf drummers in club spaces. With nice pre-amp/gain settings to make bass sound more driven and saturated in given range. Oh, it should be affordable as well...

If you struggle with any RSI issues related to playing bass, the Dogal Hellborgs are a godsend. Cannot recommend them enough for getting through long sets/sessions. Plus, their tonal quality is superb. Once you make the switch, you’ll never go back. Flatwounds in the works as well…Great video, BTW!

this is a great shopping list!

Is there anywhere to petition a 4-string multi-scale BTB? Does anyone know why Ibanez don't make 4-string/affordable BTB's anymore?

Who is the bass player playing the cort. Guy is a bad ass on bass. Mixed all the funk n disco

I'm new here and I sense a tiredness with the class D heads, having said that, did you ever review the class D offerings of Mesa? Thanks

Ohyeah gimme that 5 String BTW Bass :D

I’m keeping my ampeg stack 😂 modellers are brilliant but the can’t make my soul shake like a crank amp

Ps: the link to Thoman doesent get you to the Hellborg strings.

Merci,. What about the CAVEMAN BP1compact ?

I would buy the electra basstheworld bass 100%

What about Boss Katana for Bass ? Does it sounds good ?

What are the 4 metalic dots on the Sandberg basses for?

One thing i have a problem with: I hate light coloured fretboards. And something like the Cort Elrick oder the Sandberg bass the world all have those... Black Bass without a dark fretboard looks weird to me :(

Love the video, hit my poor third world country heart! Salut mister!!

My Top 1 is René Flächsenhaar

your Thomann link to Dogal doesn't seem to be correct. In fact, they don't seem to carry them...

Orange has all my money.

What was that orange bass!?

Yes Ashdown 2.N should have been on the list…

Not too many words sir.

No news from Cort Myster Thomas Ramdhan ? Seems like a music man made for south asian market…

I would love to see darkglass do a pushed clean like an old SVT pedal with the multi band compression of the x series. Also I thought you guys always had DR high beams on the bass the world Sandberg's? I was surprised to see Dunlop super brights listed as the stock strings.

Can anybody send the link to the basses collectors' group please?

Of course a sales pitch

Just as I went to buy one "The product Harley Benton MV-4JB Gotoh BM is regretfully no longer available." Disaster - I have been thinking about getting one for weeks. I left it too late.

Sandberg should make some 6 string basses

Omg, let’s please get away from the class D amps. How about more hardwired bass amps… I’m so tired of cheap circuit boards. Make something serviceable like the turret boards found in Hiwatt. And I think fender is long overdue for a good 100 watt all tube bass amp as well. Although, I have had my eye on the 100 watt ash down amp. 👍🏻✌️❤️

👍👍👍👌

Guy in blue has GOT to lose some weight. He won't be with us much longer, otherwise

How good was the sound on the sandbergh, missed that video!

I hate it when the guy demoing the bass plays lead guitar
