5 Boutique Brands Every Bassist Should Know | Reverb 

“did i file my nails this morning? eh I’ll bring a pick either way”

I agree completely. I usually get to a point in my daily practise when I start playing with a pick. I'd say I play 75% with fingers though but you can only do so much with human skin!

yeah, playing with fingers is great and it gives you some cool sounds but oh my god is it so goddamn fun to bust out a pick and get your chris squire on

im fingers and thumb myself but a pick gives a tighter sounding note without having to use gadgets,mt friend uses a pick all the time and he's amazing with it,essentially it comes down to the individual.

Agreed

Ibanez made an entire guitar out of brass, it's not a bass but it's the closest you can get

Jerry Mann turns out it is a saxophone

James trussart does some

What kind if stand would you like with your order? We have some browning foots and a german 88mm stand in stock. For any other wishes your order will saddly have to be a bit delayed...

Might sound really pretty and harmonic

That DOES look surprisingly low-key despite the busy laminations.

I see you're a man of culture

Not everyone will get this. Hats off to you mate.

The lol is strong with this one.

@@vinekolladiv4494 I'm sure literally everyone understood "his" joke

Repulsiooooooon

lol came from serek to here

Vulcan made, so VERY logical! \\//

Sereks are awesome! Jake already has an 8 month waiting list on orders.

May he live long, & prosper!

Sounded almost exactly like a nice American P-bass but super cool looking!

And this is why I love bass, because I listened to that bass just now and *hated* it, but that's ok because if it makes another musician happy it's all good with me!

@@yetanotherbassdude​ Ya, it was hideous, but that's just me

@@yetanotherbassdude ok, I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought it sounded like absolute shit. Glad other people can appreciate it and hear it as gold.

it sounds like a resonator guitar

@@doug440 I'd personally opine that it's kinda clean-nice as far as looks goes, but it sounded buzzy and hollow to my ears. There are other, synthetic materials that sound better, IMO.

Adam I think they’re too big to be considered boutique

“Really cool and crazy outside of the box” every single bassist in metal plays one hahaha

Besides like new guys that ply like prog I know like nobody. No classic bands

I’m not buying a Chinese made bass for over $500

B E A N S the drone gods Sunn O))) use some EGC guitars and basses live. Add some good distortion and you have the tone to drone and doom all day

Brad Olson thats normal with all instruments

Ibanez tmb100, is the bass I'm getting next month first ever

@@danielestrada8932 great choice i strated with an ibanez too. Now i play a partcaster shortscale bass :3

Do I want to pay my rent ...or buy one of these basses?

I don’t see how a standard p pickup cannot get that tone. Not to say you’re wrong, I just don’t see why go with serek and a bisonic, especially when those pups are so expensive

Also Millimetric Instruments. I'd really love to hear one.

Sounds like the pickup height is way too high

@Toxic Potato Thanks for the clarification. I kind of figured something like that (especially when I saw the fat string is only wound way beyond the bridge).

Sandberg are custom made in Germany. They have a number of videos on the very matter of how they go about it. I have two of them - incredible value for money.

Rickenbackers do. My Kramer does. It's not too difficult of a mod at all.

My g&l l-2500 has 3 switches, one for the pickup selection, one for series/parallel mode and one for switching from passive to active or treble boost. Besides that I only know the jaguar basses and some stingrays. Pretty sure there are a lot out there, though

Pinkus (Butthole Surfers and Melvins) and King Buzzo (Melvins) both love this brand. Here's what they sound like together in a mix. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WvSVXrkSfr4.html

@Majority of 1 Thanks for the tip. Very interesting. That makes for a unique sound, not something you could use without setting out to make a tone and feel all of your own.

I liked ur frog video

​@@willwallz ME TOO!!! :)

something from glassworks

Kristian Orellana yeah I thought so as well. Love that record

He should do a similar video about his 2nd car!

@@jcout25 I too was awaiting his comment on which car he chose next!

Terry Hey Terry, I think the fretless is a challenge, but worth it if you dig the sounds of one. You definitely can do things on a fretless you just can’t do with a fretted. I’ve always had lined fretless basses, that way I can cheat a little and look at the fingerboard for reference. Numerous brands offer lined fretless options. That’s where I would start. Unlined fretless is a lot more daunting, especially when you’re new to fretless. Good luck!

Max Matson spector is a pretty big company

Fosforus 15 P/MM.

it's P/J config, the humbucker is at J's position, Stingray's humbucker is much closer to the neck, almost touch the P

The maker of it also owns Travis Bean Designs
