got the same bass, 2 things that are slightly annoying: strings sound very much differently compared to non-fanned basses. 2nd thing: the stickers do fall apart.. :D Love the bass though. :)

capo is much quieter, please do a loudness normalisation on both units. And because the noble is higly clean unit you shouldn´t compare apples with zucchinis. You tested the capo only in distortion mode, less in the first and much more in the B-side example. So, your comparison is more or less uesless. But the idea is great. Perhaps you decide to do a better made vid?

I’m sure some folks are using the Capo without saturation but likely not many which is why I chose not to go there. The two certainly are apples vs zucchinis but as most of the online community pits these in the “which is the best” contest, I tried to show they are vastly different for that reason, each with a unique place. I’m sure someone more capable will eventually do the in depth A/B. I’m keeping my day job in the meantime lol.

I have the dark Rey 4 and have a 5 on order. I love the one I have but the biggest complaint (If you want to call it that) is that having the distortion on board doesn’t afford you the ability to really switch it on/off with precision, mid-song. With a pedal you can accurately switch over but with it on-board, it’s nearly impossible to switch it mid-song while you’re playing.

whenever i think of the thumb bass, the first player that comes to mind is ryan martinie. the bass part of “death blooms” by mudvayne is insane, and the bass part on “march of the cephalopods” by soften the glare is just nuts. edit: ironically enough, he’s a fodera player now

I have learned over the years playing at different venues is to have a EQ pedal as an always on pedal and make adjustments accordingly. For me 400hz-800hz (low mids) is that sweet spot to make adjustments and anything past 1k frequencies are scooped.

I’ve always been one to have everything in the middle, but here’s my experience: in the church setting, we got 2 large studio amps (anything can run through it, but they’re not geared for anything specially), and neither of them could handle bass or treble alone very well. For a while I’ve been having my middle range knob turned all the way up with bass and treble at 50% and that seems to workout.

I got my MetroLine three days ago. The bass does have flawless fit and finish if anyone has concerns about the instrument being made in Germany. I like the warmer tonal balance of nickel round wound strings so putting a set of DR Sunbeams on was the only significant change that I made.

Thanks. I checked out the ending of that video. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems to me that the Dark Glass has more attack and is a bit more bright/transparent than the Special. The special seems to be more round. Would you agree with that assessment? Did you use any of the other pickup positions on the Special or did you generally run it in the bridge? Is there anything you miss about the Special?

Valid audio comments. I’m figuring it out a little at a time. I am a weekend warrior so I’m just branching out into videos and strongly believe getting out content (for experience, practice and improvement) far outweighs getting all the bugs worked out from day one. Besides, I’d prefer buying basses to audio interfaces. A room mic won’t capture all the angles for sure but it ain’t horrible either.
